Salam..

It is already March, and the third month of the year marks my fourth month of being unemployed. Oh well, when I put it that way, it does seems that bad right?

=)

After all, it seems like everyone is moving forward with their careers, some are getting married, and going to various wedding celebrations will of course guarantee a meeting with old friends. And one of the never-missed sure questions is, "Hey, so what are you doing now? You've graduated right?"

Yes, I've been a graduate since August 2009, which is 7 months ago. And since then, I've been working for 3 months and quit when the contract is over, while at the same time applying for various positions at various institutions, going for interviews and dreading the outcome every single time.

I applied for Khazanah Watan Scholarship which, for me, is the toughest yet (compared to Shell Scholarship Award) due to its stringent interviews, exams and such. Shortlisted for the 1st stage (which consist of IQ, personality and aptitude test), got through and went for the second stage (where interviews, Apprentice-like board meetings and tasks were given). Waited anxiously for the result and fortunately enough got through to the third stage (which is the final stage and my turn for the interview done by the senior management executive of Khazanah Nasional is interestingly enough done at 7.30 pm).

Went for interview at Universiti Malaya (where the only other candidate is a UK graduate with a sweet smile). Got an email from UiTM inviting me for interview which is complete with a mock teaching session and I chose a field which while I'm sure is becoming pretty important, is quite too specialized compared to conventional chemical engineering subjects.

Both now resides in the same category; my name is submitted and is waiting for the Registrar's approval. And subconsciously I think the current economic condition is preventing the University(s) from hiring but I'm still hoping for the best..... And just a few days ago an email informing me of the outcome of Watan Scholarship finally arrives. Therefore I will be going for the briefing session which hopefully will give me some insight into the deal.

Had also went to some other interviews where one stands out due to the fact that I did not realize I'm being interviewed (and make quite a fool of myself by trying to lighten the mood up and failed miserably) as opposed to just chit-chatting about the topics involved. Being given an ultimatum by another possible-interviewer to come for the interview conducted on the same day with another interview (which I've already committed myself to) and eventually I had to let it go as it would be unethical for me to break my word.

Sometimes it's funny thinking back on all that has happened. But then, money is also a very big issue. The truth is, although I had my own savings, it's never been my habit to spend it because I know how hard it is when you live without a fall-back plan. Therefore, after buying a new laptop to replace my faulty Dell lappie (whose motherboard is toasted), I kinda felt some regrets because after repairing, the Dell machine is working just fine with a motherboard replacement (which costs me almost half 1k) and I hardly use the new one.. *sob* So now, I'm totally broke (and while I think it's an accomplishment to live on my last pay for 4 months when you factor in the fuel, maintenance and food its hardly a good thing walking around with barely RM100 in your bank).. Therefore, I'm thinking of looking for some temporary jobs such as being a RA for 2 or 3 months maybe? So, anyone got any info on this? Lol..

Will update later. Had to find some inspiration to write again. This post is just to let people know I'm alive, and no, I'm not becoming a recluse or something. Honestly I think that FB is being an unsurprising addiction and I think my pets are getting hungry; better go to Pet Society to feed 'em..

Lol.. =p

Adios~

New Year, New Resolution??

Salam..

Been a while.. How's 2010 so far? Great? O-kay? Same? Well, aside form the fact that I still sometimes wrote the date as '09, it's been quite uneventful. Boring stuffs aside, let's talk about resolution.

Well, actually I don't believe in New Year's resolution. Why must goals be set whenever another new year has dawned? Why not now? Next week? Next month? But I have to say, at least, I do support making resolutions, because it means that you have a goal that you would work on to achieve. That way, you won't waste too much time on thinking, "Hey, what am I gonna do today eyh??" or "Hmm, today's chores is done.. Now what?"

It's nice to have something to look forward to because it makes all the work done to get to that point, so much more meaningful.

I am not a cynic, nor am I an true optimist. In life, you must always remember that it's not all beds of roses. Even though perhaps, luckily, your life until now, have been practically a walk in the park, it doesn't hurt to take precaution from now, right? Because we never know what the future brings.. Isn't it logical that we prepare for whatever's coming?

=)

Oh well, the motivation to write this is that I'm tired of people thinking of a certain way about me. This is not about vanity, it's just plain facts. I did not like it when people think my life is so easy, that when I say I've got a problem, they would just brush it off thinking that it couldn't be much worse that what they've gone through.

Sometimes I focus on the trivial things, because I don't want to think on the heavy stuffs. I don't like it because it turns me into someone I did not like; moody, depressed, angry. I'd rather like to be someone who goes on everyday expecting some kind of an adventure would spring to life before me, some mysteries dying to be solved and laugh at the kaleidoscope of life in front of me.

The point is, never ever expect a life free of tangles of problems. It will not be so easy, and the stronger and better-prepared you are, the better. Money-wise, do have a savings plan. Just saving 10% of your monthly income would come a long way in insuring your future. Relationship-wise, never expect that things would be the same months or 10 years ahead. People change, some better, some not so much. Have faith in your other half, but never stop at working at it. Family-wise, as you've known those lovely people all your life, make room for mistakes, accept the imperfections, revel in the familiarity of it and treasure the time you have together. Career-wise, work hard, and please try to stay away from taking extra benefits while at it. It's running rampant nowadays, so much that it's a general knowledge and the ones who disapproves is the one shunned.

Live life, and live in the moment. And when troubles comes knocking on your door, square your shoulders and plough on. The world is not a nice place, but when you find those treasured people, keep them close, because they are hard to find and even harder to replace.

Good luck to all!

Salam..

After suuucchhhhhhh a long time, I've kinda lost the eloquency of writing.. Haha.. Not that I don't know what to write, it's just that even though I've got tonnes of stories to share, there will come a time when I just thought that its better to leave it be..

Oh well, what else to say.. Things have been quite challenging nowadays, what with the thoughts of future and the needs of the present colliding together and mashes things up so finely together that I no longer know how to differ one from the other.

Safe to say is that at this point, I'm considering two 'quite-the-same-route-but-not-quite-really'; first is pursuing my Masters here doing the research that I am doing now, or secondly, by applying for work. Yeah, I know, its a dilemma of some of my friends also at the moment. It's just that with two major opposing force that pulls me here-and-there, its hard to be the one who has to give the final say.

Somebody help me!!!

Its just that, by nature, I'm not someone who did anything by impulse. I over-analyze everything, so much that sometimes its hard to get to the crux of the matter. Its just the way I am. And deep inside. I know that the best thing for me is Route No. 2, mainly because I really like the safety of furthering my studies while at the same time having the security of a job. Some might say that I'm greedy by saying this, but the truth is, I really think that it is our own right to what is best for ourselves. That is something like a reward of studying and getting the best result for the last 16 years, don't you think? Ha-ha..

O-kay, mungkin kedengaran angkat
bakul sedikit di sana, harap maaf.. =p

By the way, I will post something about the last few interviews I did, especially for Khazanah Scholarship because frankly, it's something very interesting to me, and might give others some ideas on what to expect if called for the interview.

Till then, adios!!

And thanks for reading.. =)

The End of the Year, the Result and the Trip

Salam..

Seems like the closer we get to the year 2009, more and more people starts to reminisce back and recounting their 2008 experiences. Well, the truth is, I really think that time is moving so fast! And try as I might, I just couldn't recall everything from earlier this year. Nevertheless, there are some memories that I will treasure forever.. All the incidents that happened, all the scandals that we've made (hahaha.. Girls, you know what I mean..), in the end all it did was bring us all together, closer than ever..

It is kinda sad to think that this time next year, all of us could be going our own way. Some might continue on in the academic path and obtain higher degrees, and some of us might start working already. Those choices that have to be made, and paths to be chosen, I do hope that all turns out alright in the end.

Anyway, today is the day my last semester results is out. Actually, I had a sleepless night yesterday, thinking and worrying about things today. Alhamdulillah, it was okay. I was really hoping that the result would be able support my CGPA which by the way is on a downwards trend since the last few semesters. And fortunately, it did!

I am happy!!!

Hehe.. Couldn't resist to put that one up. Lol.. Still, it would have been nice if my Plant Design is higher coz we did work our --- off for it. After all, it was starting last semester that I started to warm up to the concept of staying up becoz before this my curfew is at the latest 12.00. Nevertheless, I am thankful for what I got, and even though hoping that it is better, what is done is done. There is no need to look back, rather than planning out for the future.

Oh well, labwork-wise, I am at the second stage of my work - bacteria identification. It has taken me two weeks already to deal with Gram staining but it is still not enough. And due to my trip starting tomorrow, I won't be continuing it this Friday.. Hehe..

Well, a girl gotta have her break, right?

About the trip, yep, I'll be going on a holiday starting tomorrow, taking advantage of the Christmas holiday and the weekend. Where am I going? Well, this time we're going to the North, namely the states Pulau Pinang, Kedah and Perlis. There are plans to visit Langkawi and Penang, while also diverging to Wang Kelian on the Thai-Perlis border. And if time allows it, we'll singgah at my Grandmum's house for a visit.

=)

And lastly, my wish to all :





And thanks for reading!

A Commencement of a Makeover...

Salam..

Just a quick one today I'm afraid.. Haha.. As you would notice, I have changed my template. Like it? Hate it? Do tell.. =)

The new look..

Anyway, this week has been full with doing laboratory works.. =) As it is, I am done doing the operation (remember this??), and will post up the picture soon.. Lol.. And if you're wondering about the operation, just one thing, the one being operated on is definitely not me.. Haha..

Now, suspense or not???

Haa.. OKla, till next update. Take care all.. And all the best for your respective theses for final year students and exams for those who are still having them. =)


And as usual, thanks for reading..

Raya Post : Part II

Salam..

Haha.. The second post about Raya.. =) Actually, the reason I want to post this up is because its been AGES since I've uploaded the pics to Blogger n kept it in the drafts, but didn't have the time to blog about it.. So, as today I'm FINALLY free (read = finished my exams, don't be jealous k.....), I'm finally posting it up..

Anyway, the first batch of pictures were taken in Mid Valley during our impromptu buka puasa event during the busiest time of the week, Friday! Hehe.. I tell you, the commuter was packed!! It's worse than sardine can, cause those sardine can't breathe already, but we can, and oh my, the scents, the air, the attitudes of some people... Ugh, lucky it was fasting month and everyone kept an extra tight rein on their temper, or else, body parts would be flying!!!

Haha.. Suddenly 300 movie flashes come to mind.. LoL..

Well, back to the story, after surviving the eventful and 'refreshing' ride, we arrived at Mid Valley.. The plan was to bowl, then break fast, but alas, it was not meant to be.. After prayers, we head to the food section, and EAT, EAT, EAT!

Sorry, no pictures.. Didn't want y'all to see us stuffing ourself with food! =p .....Not! Hehe.. No la, us good girls have to eat with manners ait? LoL.. After eating, and drinking, and laughing, and talking, we move on to window shop.. Ye la, scholarship is almost bottom dry, no money to shop around.. =)

That is, until we found the perfect place to be :

HERE!!

Haha.. It looks almost authentic, but we like it all the same.. Haha.. For better view, check the next pic:

It's a mock kampung house.. =) Nice!!

5/6 of the people in attendence.. The lone missing one is taking the picture.. Poor miss S...

Now we're full!! =) Hehe... This one is taken by a security officer who just can't quit laughing at us while we're busy taking pictures.. Hehe.. Guess they rarely see people like us so excited while taking tonnes of pictures.. =)

Nevertheless, that was one outing that I'll treasure.. Thanks girls, for being who you are! And remember, together we are strong!

=)

... ... ...

Next, is the raya celebration that I went to.. Hehe.. I did go to Miss W's house for her open house. An incident happen, and cause me to halfheartedly wave my $$ bye bye, but it was a great day nonetheless!

The food was great, the company even more so.. Hehe.. And that day marked the day that someone did something.. Quoting a friend of mine, You-Know-Who buat You-Know-What and We-All-Know-Who balas dengan We-All-Now-Know-What.. Haha.. Those who don't understand, better remain so yea, don't want you all to makan daging, even though the meat is usually great..

Haha.. Just ignore the previous paragraph, coz I know you don't understand.. Lol.. Anyway, safe to say that I bumped into Faizal's car, his got kemek'd and mine, just fine.. Very, very, very sorry dear ex-schoolmate!

By the way, these are the people who attended :

The girls :

The boys :

Thanks a lot dear Miss W for the food! =) Hehe.. Then, we all started to eat and eat.. I tell you, there's a lot of food.. Haha.. Dunno what to choose.. Someone even got too spoiled for choice that she took more than she could eat.. Haha.. =p

Well, here's the gang :

Syafa, Hannem, Patt, Dilla, me and Zira.. =)
Alamak, where's Wanz? Another one missing are Abid n Shareen n Alee.. Hehe..

Lastly, my fav picture of the day :

Luv you all people..
Thanks for reading!

Raya Post : Part I

Salam..

How's Raya everyone? =) I know, I know, today is already the start of a new month, but I've been trying to find my muse for days now.. Haha.. Finally only today I did it.. Lol.. Anyway, mine has been great, apart from struggling from completing various works and assignments and projects, but well, life as a student is like dat right? Looking back, the stressful environment sometimes makes us (including me) strives to work harder and forces us to kejar the dateline.

Oh well.. When reminiscing (cewah!! As if it's been 'that' long pulak.. Haha..), its kinda funny to think about all the things that happened in this past 2 months. Lots and lots of stories surfaced, some things unexpected, some things kinda weird and some things downright funny.. Haha..

Anyway, lets start in the fasting month..

Three friends... =)

Aha! Not 3, but more!! LoL..



Alas, not only that, there's more!!! =)

Yep, you guessed it, it's our eye-opening buka puasa event.. Haha.. Event? Eye opener? Don't ask.. lol..

(at the risk of inviting the wrath of mr -a-k-) I present you, THE Food...



Haha.. More fish!!


Drinks.. And tomyam.. ;-)

The girl whose camera pictures I 'stole' from.. LoL..

Eat, Eat, Eat!!!

Luv this photo.. Haha..

All in all, the food is ok lah, not THAT great, but edible nonetheless.. Still, it's the company that matters..

I'm going to miss u girls!!! =)


PS : Notice the Part I? Haha.. Will post more later.. For now, this is it.. Dun throw any knives at me yea.. ; )

Post Mortem... Huh?

Salam..

Things have been so busy, so I'm really, really sorry if anyone got dissappointed with my lack of updates, and please don't be upset if I haven't commented on your blogs these past few weeks..

Actually my group has already submitted our design project on Monday, and the presentation was done on Wednesday.. Report-wise, at that time I was oh-so-glad to finally submit it. We've gone through a lot of hurdles, things that had shaken me up, questioned myself and reevaluate my priorities.. What to do when you have to choose between a friend and your responsibility? I admit that I was very lax while dealing with that, because it's just not in my nature to hurt someone intentionally, more so when said person is already in an emotional breakdown him/herself. And I know that some of my friends are angry that I was being too nice..

Truthfully, I don't know what to say or do.. A lot of my anger is not my own (at first), but comes from other people who are forced to go out of their way to be able to meet the deadline.. And it's not like I didn't have to, I did.. But I just couldn't scold or marah-marah somebody. Haiz, that's why people said being too nice is a problem. And then, I was in limbo for a few stretches of days, evaluating the pros and cons, and at the same time trying to finish up the work.. And balance the act of keeping the smile on my face, and feeling like crying coz I've been pushed up a corner..

*sigh*

Then comes the presentation day.. To say it bluntly, it was like a blow to my face. I expected the questions and probes, but I never expected the incident that happen. Safe to say that we are all very sad and dissappointed.. I was sad and dissappointed. I know that the seed of the incident comes from our own mistakes, but we never thought that it would get that bad, and that out of hand.. =((

*sob*

But thinking from another side, yes, it's better to make mistakes like this here (as in now) then when we're working. Quoting someone,

"Takpela you all kena sekarang, you all masih student, tak ada reputation lagi... Kalau ada kesalahan yang kamu buat pun, masih ada masa untuk diperbaiki..."

And thinking about that, it is very true.. I'd like to think of it this way, if you do make mistakes now, at least you are aware of it, and you can learn from it, and it would likely stay with you forever. After all, incidents like that are hard to forget. So, in the coming future, you can take a leaf out of those ego-bruising moments and make sure it won't happen again.

After all, at that time, you do have a reputation to take care of, right?

=)

Oh well, I really do think I'm like a pregnent woman, each day having dozens of mood swings.. Haha..

Anyway, really got to get back to work soon.. There's the correction to make and compile into the final report, thesis presentation to prepare for, iCon and SuperPro simulation assignments to take care of, and Management individual project to finish, all due next week.. To add to that, we;ll have an exam next week. Then, will need to submit thesis report.. And let's not forget the final exams..

So, take care everyone!! Once I get everything in order, will resume my previous blog-hopping-and-commenting procedure, ok?

Thanks anyway for reading..
Have fun doing the assignments and what-nots!

=)

PS : Miss teddy, the raya post? Hehe.. I will try to update about that yea.. Hehe.. But later, can? LoL.. Jgn bw pisau ok.. =p

Selamat Hari Raya!!

Salam..

Just wanted to wish ALL my friends, SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI!! And do forgive me for any mistakes I've made no matter when or where. =)



To all those who wished me before, thank you guys! You people rock my day! Hehe.. Actually dunno what to say, after all, it's hari raya! =) Have a really nice day, spend precious time with family and loved ones, and be happy. For those who are travelling today, have a safe journey and may you all arrive safely at your destination.

=)

I will be heading to Ipoh today. And should be back here on Saturday at the most. Hehe.. Got tonnes of things to do, what's with my having to re-do everything for thesis and design project.

Have fun today, and be safe!
=)
Thanks for reading!

When Life is Hectic, Go On and Take a Breather...

Salam..

How's life been?? I know a lot of my friends have begun to feel the immense pressure coming from the fact that there's just a LOT of things to do in so little time! And sometimes we feel so sad and angry coz so much time is lost doing these without leaving any to enjoy ourselves.

Well, my advice, do take a break.. Because when we are pressured, our behavior and our perspective tends to point a bit to the negative side, and we won't be able to give our all to the very things that cause those pressures in the first place. And yes, there are people who work better under pressure, care to share your secret?

Another thing is that when 2/3 of the major projects this semester being a group project, it's very important to be able to adapt and work well in a team. In a sense; teamwork. But sometimes, it is hard to do that when instances happen that made you feel like a wreck.

I'm not making sense, am I?

Well, I am naturally a cheerful person. I don't like to raise my voice to people, I don't like to scold anyone, and I certainly don't try to find people's mistake all the time. So, naturally I expect people to do the same for me.

So what if I made a mistake once in a while? There's a lot of things that I can tolerate, but rude people just don't cut it.. I admit I have my ego.. Once you try to stoke it, I will never treat you the same ever again.

Haizz..... Why do people always tend to do silly mistakes like this? After years of working alongside people of different views and upbringing, we would expect everyone would go along -ok- with each other, but when things like this happen, it tends to make us wonder..

Still, during this busy, hectic life, it doesn't hurt to take a breather once in a while.. Last Tuesday, my friends and I went to release our pent-up frustrations and tensions by hitting the bowl..

Eyh?

Hehe.. Playing bowling, I mean.. Hehe.. It was a spur of the moment decision, with Miss A voicing out her thoughts and demanding (ehehehe...) us to comply.. LoL.. So, Miss Z, Miss W (who is wearing a jubah that day) and me (while wearing my baju kurung) went to the place..

=)

It felt so nice to be able to play again.. Hehe.. I'm a bit out of practice but the keyword here is not actually to win, but to enjoy myself.. And I know my friends did too!! We mock-fight with the kids playing beside our lanes (one of 'em is really good.. =p), accidentally laughed when the showing-off people on another side of ours missed his shot (hehe.. Not my fault, Miss A snorted first.. LoL), posing like a pro bowler while wearing a not-so-professional-clothing-at-least-to-a-real-pro-bowler, displaying an erratic show of throwing (and I mean throwing, literally..) the ball and so much more.

Wish we would be able to do so again. =) Sorry didn't post up pictures (beside the one down there) coz afraid Miss A, Miss Z or Miss W would wring my neck if I do so.. Haha..

The Scores... =) Guess who's winning?? LoL..

That said, do take a break people!!
And you don't always need a Kit-Kat to do so..

All d best!
And have fun doing all the assignments and projects.

ITEX

Salam..

It's been a week already since I've went to ITEX, but a promise is still a promise right? Hehe.. I've drafted parts of it, only I didn't quite have enough time to finish it off.. Nevertheless, let's take a visit down memory lane, shall we (that is, before I forget d details... lol..)

...

ITEX

Actually, I would never have known about this event if my friend Nad hadn't sms me,

rina, jom pegi KLCC weekend ni?

eh? jauhnya.. de pape ke nak gi sana? Kinokuniya eh? ;-)

ITEX - International Invention, Innovation & Technology Exhibition! Nak tengok ktorg punya part ada masuk x..

....and that practically sums up our reason to head there.. So, with excited hearts, we braved the full LRT and putra trains to get to the 'Sun'..

Of course, with Nad, food is a must. Lol.. So, after meeting at Kinokuniya, with Nad bagging a few books (or was it one only??) including the Sophie Kinsella (is it the right spelling, I wonder.. Haha.. Sorry if it's mistaken, Shopahilic fans..), we went straight for a drink downstairs..

And managed to get :

Waffle with banana slices and yam icecream ~ nad's

Peach with conservative vanilla icecream ~ mine!

While eating away, and trading various stories of our internship experience sofar, and discussing those of our friends, told her of the tragic-story-but-somewhat-funny thing that happened.. Wanna know what it is? Haha.. Maybe later.. ;-)

Next, we headed to the convention centre, while snapping away.. Haha.. I just loved taking pictures, which is such a pity considering I don't have a camera.. The only one I have is my vga phone camera, which is not that great, but still, quite dependable. ;-) Hopefully I'll get the camera this time around.. lol..

Believe it of not, this was a candid picture of nad.. Haha.. Just love the perspective.. =)

And tried another for myself, only it did not work quite what I've expected, still, OKla.. ;-)

The Convention Centre

At first, we were quite apprehensive coz there does not seems to be a crowd there.. Did we came at the wrong time?? But then, when we enter the gratefully cool surroundings (did you notice that the rain have been absent for a loooooooong time? It sure is hot..), the sight of people zipping in and out and rushing here and there sooths our nerves.. =) We did come to the right place after all!! Haha..

Another candid photo.. Haha.. Nad would be so furious!! lalalala..


Got our VISITOR stickers and went into the fray..

There was a lot of booths that day, and the pameran was a very educational one.. But one thing that I'm proud of is that we're not clueless when reading all those techie notes and words.. At least we know what the **** the inventor means when he/she describes their process and invention. Snapped a few pics on the posters but dunno if I can post it coz the owner might not approve, so bear with me ok..

Hehe.. Found some infos about hydroxyapatite (it's a type of catalyst..), which to me, is significant because of this one thing, but I'll save that one for later yea.. I firmly hold to the principle,

"You need not unsaid the things you never needed to say in the first place"

~a Yamani proverb (and this Yamani is a fictional one k.. No need to search it up.. Haha..

So I'll only tell when it's fail-proof and sure.. ;-)

Also get to play with some things, as an example, this :

A type of a system that converts what you type directly into Morse code and the receiver which also uses the same system can decipher it directly into words, as opposed to having a personnel listening intently to the beep beep beep all the time.. =)

The people who guarded this particular exhibit were either too tired to ask us not to abuse the thing, or simply laughing at our backs coz it's somewhat childish! Haha.. Still, I like the spontaneity.. Lol.. =)

Then, had some cornflakes cookies.....

Haha.. We were munching on these...

And these.....

And took our sweet time looking at this one.. =) And take one bite.. It tastes funny yea.. I wonder.....

...Only to found out the last one was made from THIS!!! Haha.. Only that it was made from the biji, not the isi.. =) No wonder it tastes different!

And the first two were made from this! =) Haha..

Is this some type of UFO? Or a fan?

Nah.. It's a solar-powered cooker.. =)

And Nad asks this one question.. "Eh, they said it was used for campers who loves camping and jungle-trekking right? How can we use it when there's no sun? Or when the sun is obscured by the trees??" Hmm.. So that means we have to cook only during daylight? And while we're at it, find a spot that has constant sunlight? Hee.. A pity we didn't ask the inventor that day.. Maybe the thing can store the electricity, coz I'm sure the person has add up all the problems eyh.. Hee..

Stopped by at UM's booth, but couldn't find Hilman.. Hee.. And we were looking through the posters when one of the exhibitors approach us and starts to describe all about his business-for-researchers-learning-tool.. Hehe.. Answered a questionnaire and got a Kit-Kat free! Lol.. Thanks Mr!

Also spend quite some time at UKMs' and met a lecturer of mine.. My Mechanics Design lecturer, in fact.. Apparently she won gold medal for her invention involving fuel cell.. Couldn't remember the full title though.. Haha.. =)

Afterwards, at 3 something, we began to head back to Suria for our late-but-well-deserved-lunch.. After debating over the various choices, we chose Nandos.. =)

My lunch.. Yummy!

And before heading back, managed to grab a few books at Times Bookshop.. =) Almost emptied my purse, but, well, I've stopped myself one time too many, and I'm not going down!

My purchase.. =)

Oh well, it's been quite an experience.. Hehe.. Thanks to Nad for inviting me, and keeping up with my apparent craziness.. ;-) Haha..

And thank you for reading!
=)

Freedom!!

Salam..

Today marks the day that I've finally finished my exams!!! Hehehe.. Feel so giddy out of a sudden.. LoL.. Anyway, it's quite a relief that it's over, although I do have some regrets regarding the exams, let bygones be bygones, right?

Oh well, Monday next week I'll be starting my industrial training.. =) Am having mixed feeling about that, actually I don't know what to expect. How the culture would be, what is expected of me, what types of work I'll be doing, even down to the clothing I should be wearing..

Haha.. I'm sure a lot of my friends is also feeling the same..


...

On another note, right after the final paper about 10 hours ago, I went straight to the Faculty to settle some problems with my industrial training registration.. Rushed and rushed, but didn't managed to get it settled coz our Timb. Dekan is taking a leave today..

Haih, so I have to settle it next week.. Huhu.. Oh well, thankfully my posting is nearby, so hopefully it won't be too much of a problem.. =)

Then, went straight to Jusco Cheras Selatan for lunch and movie.. Haha.. It's been such a long time since I've seen a movie.. =) Thanks Nad, for keeping me company.. ;-)

We watched :

A Long Overdue Update...

Salam..

It's been a while since I last posted, but this time I'm NOT complaining! Hehe.. Actually, I was busy revamping this blog of mine. Like the new design (although of course it's not MY design, per se, but I did arrange all the widgets and edited some mistakes in my last few posts)? I hope you do.

Anyway, nothing much to tell, other than these few days after exams has been relaxing and quite busy. My last paper was on the 14th of November, which is last Wednesday, and barely 2 days after, my family and I were already heading back to my grandmum's home like I said in my previous post. Yeah, I did the driving, all the way actually (and proud of it!) while listening to the songs I've burned in a CD. Nothing like music to sing along to when the other occupants of the car are asleep! =)

The driving was OK although the stretch from Tanjong Malim (or was it Bukit Beruntung) to Slim River is still not finished, so I really had to pay attention lest I drive headlong into the dividers that narrows the leftmost lane. It is quite scary sometimes, cause one small mistake and you can kiss the scratch-free body of your car goodbye.

Oh well, that's life, I suppose. Oh yes, another thing, my Grandmum is here in KL because she didn't want to stay alone at her house. She's staying with us maybe till next week or so, and I'll stay at home to 'teman' her coz my Mom and Dad is out working.

By the way, I did manage to went out with my bestfriend Cha last Monday. We went to Mid Valley and watched a movie.. Bee Movie actually. Anyone seen it yet? Hehe.. I wanted to review it now (although I did, in Flixster) but maybe later yeah, coz I've seen a LOT of movies these past few weeks, and never got the chance to rave (or rant) about them yet, so keep your fingers crossed! =)

Back to Cha. Hehe.. Miss her so much! Last time I see her was a few weeks before the semester break last time and that a LONG time ago. Unfortunately, I think this is the only time I managed to see her, because she's going back to Terengganu this Saturday while I'm undisposed this week at home.. Huhu..

Bad things aside, really enjoyed our outing. A lot of stories were traded, pictures taken (although we only have a VGA camera among us so don't expect the quality to be that good, hehe), movie watched, eating and drinking, played at the arcade and yada yada.. The main point is, I LOVE IT!

=)

So, on to the pictures :

At KL Sentral.. =)

The Christmas-related items at Metrojaya Mid Valley. Everything was so white, and red. Hehe.. Pardon my pose, but was tired already at this point, and my facial muscles are screaming, "No more exercises!!" Hee.. Just joking..

My dearest friend, Cha.. =)

Lastly, this is the picture of us both.. Friends forever!!

That's it for now.. I'll post later, ok.. =)
Thanks for reading by the way..

Free at Last!!

Salam..

I'm finally FREE!!

"From what?" You ask..

Hehe.. Actually, I had just finished my final exams.. It's a big relief, you know.. And although I'm not quite satisfied with how I answer certain questions in the 5 papers I had to sit for, I know that I did it at my best ability at that particular time.. After all, there's no use crying over spilt milk, right?

Oh well, tomorrow, me and my family will be heading out to my grandmum's house. I'll drive, for sure, coz my dad is quite unwell starting yesterday, so I'll be facing a long drive tomorrow. Hopefully I'll reach my destination safely, no?

=)

By the way, I was going through my email yesterday and come across this :



And, another one :




Isn't it beautiful?? In case you're wondering, it's a cherry blossom tree.. Usually found in Japan, they're one of nature's most beautiful tree (or is it flowers?)..

Hehe..

That's all for now though.

Do tune in.. I'll try to add something up ASAP..

And, thanks for reading!
