Sunnnnshaaaainnneeeee

We were blessed with sunshine for the last three days. And it has been wonderful :) The Sun really makes your day!

I handed in my Transport essay last Tuesday. Oh gosh, that was the worst essay i've ever done. I had about 3 days to do it. So it was properly planned that i should finish in time and sleep well too. BUT i only realised that i misread the essay question about 8pm the night before the deadline. (Thanks Jerry for stating the obvious) How stressed out was I?! I just wasted Saturday, Sunday and the whole Monday afternoon doing something totally wrong. But Thank God, the essay became easier. Everything was in the handouts. Can you imagine doing a 4000 words essay the night before deadline, without any books (well, only about 3!). So I had to settle for online journals, and thank you google scholar. HAHA. But reading from the pc can only make you more sleepy. So i decided to sleep for about an hour at 3am, cos my brain was to tired to think! But i ended up sleeping til 6am, and worked my way til 1pm. Bad experience!! I would have done it earlier, but i had another 4000words assignment the Friday before. Gah! Stress!!!!!

Now, im studying for my exam next Tuesday. I just emailed asking my AgriFood lecturer for an extension for the essay due the day after exam. I seriously can't cope, there's just too much work! It's beyond crazy.

Anyways, without sleeping after the whole crazy night and thanks to Milo Mocha, i was hyped up for the day. Just relieved that it was done. Alhamdullilah. Who wouldnt be?! So, after i handed in that essay, joined the Posse to Troy along City Road for some sheesh kebab. Called home before that, and had a nice talk with the parents. My day was getting better. We were in Troy a long time, Baz joined after work. It was really sunny, it was awesome. Everyone looked like they were going to the beach. Haha. When we reached home, we decided to chill arah our backyard. Tanning tarus. HAHA. Jerry came over soon after. Oh, and he cooked us his awesome ayam masak merah.

Jerry and Jem has filled the Miskin house the past three days as well. It's nice to have people around :) Especially when everyone has coursework/exam to do/study for. So sama2 we all do our thang. Sama2 stress! haha.

I can't wait to go back home man. I was just telling Aimi (who just finished her exam today. Nyeh!), that it's always around this time that you think about going back the most, cause it's just so near. And that, that's what makes you slack a bit. But what you do is slap yourself so your head returns to study mode. I can't wait!

Oh, the Posse and Jem are going over Hakeem's place on the 24th, joined by Aimi, Farah and Lehin, for Slamdunk Festical at Leeds University Union on the 25th. Boys Like Girls, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Cute is What We Aim For, We The Kings, The Blackout... and many more... are playing. I CANT WAIT!

BACK TO WORK EVERYBODY!

That reminds me i've to confiscate Faye's Nintendo DS from them. I feel like a mom HAHA. But it's for the better FAERID!!!!!

Hope every one of you have a good day today. Although it's a bit gloomy now. hehe.

Lets be farmers!

I'm home ALONE right now. Just finished cleaning up the kitchen and living room. Everyone else went to Oakwood Theme Park. I would have gone if I didn't have a 4000words essay this Tuesday. Nyeh! I'm seriously mentally exhausted already, and I STILL have 4 more to do! I just handed in my Research Proposal yesterday, im glad that's done and over with. 20 more days til im free!!!

Anyhoo, life has been pretty slow lately, when all you do is work! Haven't been doing much at all. Although, i had an awesome fieldtrip to the Riverford Organic Farm yesterday. The moment we arrived there, we had our lunch. I became a vegetarian that lunch. The first 5 mins of absorbing all the veggies were alright (most probably cause i was hungry), then as i ate on, i felt like vomitting. Haha! The others berabis makan. Thank God it was free. Haha. It was nice though to try something new, and the fact that those veggies (except the asparagus apparently) were all from the farm. That definitely reduces food miles. For dessert, i had pavlova. Oh, lushhh. The thing i liked about the restaurant (they call it the field kitchen) was that everyone ate at the same time and the same food. Proper family-like lunch. Darren (the guy who gave us the tour) said that that was what they're trying to promote. That's nice :)

I forgot to borrow a camera, so i dont have nice clear pictures, just these from my phone.

I know more about organic farming now. Dapat jadi farmer! HEHE. We even got some free fresh veggies that we picked ourselves. Got some spring onions, wet garlic (which looked like spring onions) and courgette (which is now in my pot). Ohhh, and we got to go on a tractor ride :D It was a nice day out, the place was so serene. I can imagine sitting on the high fields at night overlooking other many fields and watching the stars. How nice would that be huh? *sigh*

I arrived back home around 8, where Baz and Umie were making lasagne. Nyum! Thanks guys! :) Then, they said they were gona watch 'Iron Man' at 9.50pm. I figured since i wasn't gona go out anytime soon, might as well go out. PLUS! Robert Downey Jr ah please! Oh my goshhh... that movie was awesome. Rugged berabis! I liked his character berabis. Ohh, im in love with him all over again. Haha! Sekalikan ... when we went out, turun the escalator sudah ... we said goodnight to Sean the Security Guy.. sekali ya cakap "did you watch the bit after the credits?"... sekali me, umie and baz went back up the escalator. Si farid n jem sampat lagi naik the other escalator. Sekali thank you long credits!!! HAHA. It was awesome :D I think i'll watch the movie again. hehe.

Oh, then i checked IMDB. Robert Downey Jr will be in 'The Incredible Hulk' as Tony Stark again. You know what that means? ;)

I'm gona make myself lunch now. Laters people. Mwah
