Im back!

..... again.... hehe

I arrived yesterday morning. I've never been as tired as I was by the end of yesterday. Although, I had the chance to meet most of my puja's last night when we went sungkai at Jerudong Polo Club. Then today, it was my first sungkai in Lambak after four years. What was great was the fact that nothing has changed. Still too much food and kuih. Haha. Walaupun banyak food, we still managed to go to Excapade in Serusop. We being Farah, Dani, Nadi, Baz and I. And Easyway of course. Sekali kami main badil di Jalan Bedil.... wawawawawaaaaa.

 

This picture is dedicated to those Pujas in UK... keke. So this must be how you guys felt when I was in UK!! :P

Nadabah... we miss you all! *hugsss*

 

I'm pretty excited about Raya. I actually can't wait for the whole 'fixing up Lambak' thing. I still haven't bought raya shoes/slippers. I'll probably just end up wearing old ones.

I actually don't have much to say... I'll leave you with pictures...

One week

Wow. I am having a hectic HECTIC week. I have it all planned out in my planner, its dang full. But I'm happy that it involves some retail therapy hehehe. One week til Brunei :) weeeeeeeeeeee! Met up with my supervisor today. Random: Taught him how to use skype HAHA. Then went to watch Tropic Thunder. Did NOT realise that was Tom Cruise until Baz pointed it out! Hehehe.

Another random miskin: Someone bell-ed us at 4AM when we were about to have our sahur. Lina almost opened the door until we told her not to. Then we switched off all the lights. Mana ketara! HAHA. I was damn curious though. But glad that we didnt open the door. I think that person was drunk and at the wrong house.

Me and the machine started packing our stuff today. My room feels so bare, it saddened me a bit. I'm moving out of miskin street booohooooohooooo. I'm coming back in November though, to finish up my dissertation. Did I mention my submission date has been moved to 3rd December? Yeap, I have time.

You know what I miss least about raya? Having to buy new shoes and begs. I almost forgot all these little things I have to do for Raya. Its too much effort, time and money.. which I don't have. Hehhe.

I haven't been online in a long while. Even if i do, it's only for a while. My laptop is a bit messed up. So i couldnt be bothered. I just use hakeem's laptop if I have anything to do.

Anyhoo.... I'm gona go. One week my pujas :)

First Week of Ramadhan

I'm really excited for Aidilfitri. After four whole years... Raya in Brunei should be awesome. Although some people will be missing. Shucks. But on the other hand, this is it guys. I'll be leaving Cardiff for good. It's a sad thought. Bittersweet. It has been a very interesting rollercoaster ride over those years. It has been great nonetheless. I have learnt so much, about myself and about people in general. I have met and grown closer with a lot of different people here. That has been nice. I know I have changed a lot over the years. For one, I have learnt to cook proper and moved away from fried or microwave food. Biggest achievement I think? HEHE. Ehhh... lets not be Emo about leaving just yet. I still have to finish my work. Speaking of which, I passed my exam :) Now, I definitely have to do my dissertation. Hahaha.

Puasa has been great. One week sudah. We have had great food on the table. Just yesterday we had steam fish and mussels a'la Mr Hakeem. Nyaman!

..... I forgot what I was going to say. So I'm going to go now. Latersss

A month of Fasting begins!

Ramadhan

It's the second day of Ramadhan already. It has been good, better than I expected. Although, our pipe in our kitchen, under the sink, is leaking again. Our landlord said he would be coming sometime today with the plumber. It's almost 11pm and no sign of a fixed pipe!!

Me, Hakeem and Baz went to IKEA yesterday afternoon. If we didn't restrain ourselves, I swear we were going to buy everything there! Hahaha. We ended up buying plants. I love mine! I bought it for our living room. Give it some life. HEHE.

HAHA! Me and Baz bought the same hippos from IKEA. The rat was just to scare Farid, which didn't work at all! HAHAHA

 

Anyhoo..... Gotta get back to work now. Toodles. Good night everyone :)
