Bachelorette party

Owkayy..

Where should I start? I shall begin with what happened last thursday...So the next few posts will be a recap from then until today..Promised my frens to put these entries, and ONLY tonight I have the time to actually sit in front of the laptop and taking my own sweet time...

So here goes..

Last thursday, as mentioned before, we have arranged a bachelorette party for K. Zetty. The plan was as follows;

* punting

* candelight dinner on the punt

* meet up at 7pm

* girls have to put on their skirts (special occasion only)

* tiger show (men of course) afterwards - OK, this bit was only K. Zetty's unfulfilled fantasy

So yup, we managed to meet up on time at K.Ina's place and then headed to the river near Sala Thong, the restaurant where we intend to order the food from. Clearly all three of us (d girls) were very excited about this. We put on our skirts as agreed and both K.Ina n K.Zetty looked at their best. As for me, I was not at my best as I came straight from the lab. Urghh! There was only one guy that night - Tee, who did not dressed up at all. I'm sure he thought this was going to be a plain same ol night where we get together and have dinner. Aha! For us, we wanted it to be all grand, fancy and romantic. Typical girls...... ;)

Unfortunately.....we were too late and apparently after 7pm, they have a different charge for hiring the punt - exclusive candlelight dinner they call it! Damn right exclusive, as they wanted us to pay 60quids per boat for 1 hour, EXCLUDING meals...Alright, we considered about it walaupun mahal. However, setakat punt 1 hour we wouldn't mind, but to finish our meal in such a rush? i don't think so.......We had imagined to have a long chat while enjoying the delicous thai dishes. So, feeling a lil upset, we had to pass.

Akhirnya kami makan juga di Sala Thong, food was delicous and the company was just lovely. The restaurant was a little bit loud that night, though. For desert, we went to Bella Italia to dip our forks into their deserts..Nyum nyum...

Hmm..macam di thailand pulak ;)

Ladies, as agreed I only uploaded the pictures that melepasi piawaian blog ini. And to Kak Zetty, hope you have a great time that night, walaupun candlelight dinner tak jadik ;D

Here is the wife-to-be! Congrats babe!

Hari yang ngantuks

Oh the title says it all!!!

I am extremely sleepy now. Writing from the office. Preparing for presentation for monday morning. I'll be the first speaker. Makanya harusla nervous alagapas kan! Anyway, last nite was GWEAT. No time to upload now nor has the mood to do so. I have some pictures with me now, but gambar2 yang melepasi piawaian blog ku ini ada pada laptop kak ina. So later aja....

I just want to sleep.......

Sod off

Proper meal

Oh, hari ini sunnguh blessed! Bestt sgt..sebab tengah hari makan nasi dengan kari ayam and telur goreng. Kari aiyyam dimasak oleh Kak Zetty, and nasik prepared by Kak Ina. mekasih la korang...semoaga dimurahkn rejeki Kami makan bersama atas jemputan k.Zetty..nak mghabiskan stok di dapur katanya, sebelum pulang ke malaysia. Jeles

Antara topik perbualan...as usual lah, luahan perasaan ku tentang my project, supervisor dan seangkatan dengannya korang mmg sabar mndengar cite-cite bosan ini. Esok tak sabar nk pi punting pulak. Sambil tu dinner di atas bot. Ini pulak sempena K. Zetty punye pre-wedding celebration. Nak buat party tak smpat, timing kureng sesuwai, hati pun tak tenang....After wedding la buat celebration lagi.

Anyway, oklah, punting event will story later. Ngantuks suda...plus nk buat presentation for next monday..Later...

Ape yang aku buat, tau2 je dah monday??

It's sunday night already and annoyingly undescribable how time flies - hence the title of this post. I have to say these two days were quite productive ones for me. Let's recap...

Saturday

Balik dr tempat kak ina (slept at her place the night before) awal pagi. Takkan tak mandi terus ke lab?? So I head back to my college, mandi2, makan mee yg kak ina pack kan (yes, she's that nice) and tidur balik. Ahaks! Penat yer kawan2..Almost 12pm keluar balik ke lab. Buat labwork smpai tak tahan lapar baru keluar ke city centre untuk cari makanan. Around 4.30pm. Oleh kerana kemeriahan hari sabtu di city centre, maka my initial intention to only grab something to EAT end up with me grabbing so many other things that has nothing to do with filling up to my previous hunger.

Masuk NEXT kerana ade sale besar-besaran. Memang besar kerana keluar dari kedai pun dengan plastic beg yang besar! Tetibe kerisauan di lab hilang seketika...LOL My instinct says I have to check out other shops. Oh, tinggal 15 minit je lagi before 5pm. Lari ke grand arcade n berjaya mmbeli 4 handbags..Wehee..Mmg gilos la jehan! Sorry ye kaks suw, jgn jeles ;D Tapi I felt good sebab akhirnya dapat beli untuk orang. Cukup2lah for myself (cewah). Let's see.....

Bile kedai tutup, I had no other options than to go back to the lab. Continue sket then balik bilik...Seriusly tak ingat jam berapa balik!! Try nk recall ni, I just can't! Malam tu tak tau buat ape...serius tak ingat...

Sunday

Woke up at 7. Malas giler nk bangun. Tolonggg la...sunday okk...Gagahkn diri and mandi2, breakfast, kemas barang and terus ke lab. I loike...harini mcm bersemangat la plak bile smpai lab. The plan is not to do any huge amount of labwork. Tapi untuk continue writing. Ha....part ni lagi challenging. Sebab everytime menulis mesti rasa mcm tak achieve banyak...Banyak lagi kene cover ni. Panick attackk! Hmm..constant reminder from Mr. Asraf, be calm, tapi efisyen!

Ok, I dont want to start with the oh-so-dull-writing-part of my current life. Cite yg happy2 jer. So just like yesterday I had to go out for lunch la kann. Wanted to go to McD. Tapi stop tie rack dulu. Hehe Bile keluar, on the way to McD terjumpe Nabil with his mum and younger sis. Comel sgt. They just arrived from the states yesterday. Borak2 jap then I pegi bejalan lagi, ingt nk masuk NEXT again (hehe) Tapi terserempak dgn Nabil again! Hish..ape cite. He was waiting for his mum n sis who went into Marks n Spencer. So we chatted again. Orang nk masuk NEXT nih, tapi kenela temankn die jugak. Plus he offered some raspberries and chocolate. That reminds me that I was hungry. So makan2 kat luar M&S itu.

Tetibe ada macik ni tap my shoulder from behind. Kak Zetty rupenyer..Apparently she texted me, tapi macik manela pegang phone time shoping. Hehe She bought doughnuts from harrods, so we decided to lepak mane2 cafe to minum n makan. Saved me from exploring new things to buy. Good..good. Update each other and gosip2. Comel donut ini. And gempak gitu!

I lurrrve sweet things, tp this one was way too much, babe. Thanks anyway. Lame rasanya tak jumpe you. Anywayy..I headed back to the lab, continue some work and gerak at 9pm. Singgah tmpat kak ina to pass her part of the doughnut and had my dinner there Semoga Kak Ina dimurahkan rezeki Hikhik I terpk nk balik bilik panaskn nasi n goreng telur je. Ahaks. Kalau i dah improve my cooking skill. I akan do the same ok kawan2. Then balik bilik n now ngantuk giler..Will sleep now. Feels good to be able to write something here. De-stressing...Takes only a few minutes anyway..

Owkayz..praying for a better week ahead. Nite2. Salam peeps ;)

Daddy

Nothing much, dad called me today..mau datang katanya..from S.Africa la pulak...ape saje la travel jauh2. tapi baguslah tu, boley jumpe again! The last time tak smpat nk berjalan! Hampeh. Will plan my work wisely. He asked why I did not send any emails lately. Wahai ayahanda, email yg patik hantar dahulu pun belum ayahanda reply! Hish!

However, wish ibu can come before him! Hehehe (nak juga menang)

The girls ajak nonton 'mama mia' tadi. Tapi just tak smpat...Lame tak catchin up. Both of them will be off to malaysia in 2 weeks time. Harusla chit chat before then! We meet up again later ya

Owait, I'm off

Three in a row

Oh, bosan sungguh di lab hari ini. The plan for today is to do the isolation of Streptomyces lividans with Matthias. Tapi mamat ni tengah duduk minum kopi sambil tgk movie on his laptop pulak. Stress stress..I want to finish early today. Naseb baik he prepared (in the office, not lab) a superb iced coffee for me as well. Tak jadi nak bising-bising. Heh heh

Apart from the boring-ness in the lab, today chat dengan angah. She was in the office, busy katenye, but we chit chat for a almost an hour. Luahan perasaan sikit, and kutuk2 orang. Hehe After chatting with angah, I called along pulak. My intention was to listen to Mikayo's voice, but the little one was very sleepy according to along. Baru lepas mandi la katekan. Along said his head smells like minyak telon. I am sooo jealous!! (I am addicted to kepala baby).

Bile habis borak ngan along, abang plak online. Chit chat lagi. He won first place for the last basketball match. Wah, kat malaysia tak pernah plak menang, kt NZ plak boley menang. Pelik..pelikk..But he broke his leg, believe it or not! At least that was what the doctor told him, because he didnt feel so much pain, and can even walk without the crutches. Siap cabut the plaster lagi tuh! Fuh, gagah betul adikku itu. TOo itchy according to him. Abang kate, what if die mati sebab kegatalan?? Ahahaha...Lawaks!

So harini efisyen dalam meng-catching up with me familia..Yesterday dah borak pnjang ngan ibu..Last week ade call atok. So lengkap hidup ku... ;) Encik Asraf hari-hari, so takyah citer lerr....ngeh ngeh ngeh As for arwah Azwan, tak lepas dari bibir al-fatihah dan doa-doa untuk die... Recapping on old pictures...

With ibu in kings park, perth (seronok giler time ni)

With Along and Angah on last raya (we used to wear boria-like gowns and dresses, dah besar ni we portray ourselves differently)

With Atok, depan rumah Asraf in Nedlands (kesejukan die time nih. Comel!)

With Abang (younger brother) and Azwan in Bali...(my two hero!)

Windu bangat!!!

Bosan aku dengan penat

Oh yes, thank you for those who have been really supportive (cewah, macam acknowledgement dalam thesis pulak!) during my troubles and grief. Tuhan Maha Kaya, memberi pertolongan and memudahkan perjalanan hamba nya. Alhamdulillah, I now feel more confident to finish this masters degree. Takde la kene threaten je memanjang. Stressing okk and was very demoralizing!

Anywayy, refering to pakcik azizi's comments, yerp i think its obvious that I chose the switch off button. I dont like negative energy around me.....

Gracias again to all!

*Still unsure about future plans!* ;)

Plans

Wah..lame enggak tulis apa-apa...Malas+busy+penat+takde mood...Anywayy...Banyak betul future plans that I have in mind..Banyak as in, seriusly confusing! Apekah faktor-faktor yang harus I consider in making a decision? For myself or should I consider others as well?

One thing for certain is, I can't get everything I want. Maybe I can, but not all at the same time.....Ya ampun, harap ada signs from God, which lifestyle I should go for!

I'm off

They can't take that away from me

enuff said!

Am confused with myself

Today somebody uttered something to me that, I would say....SHE SHOULD NOT!

I could not recognise what strength was given to me (by Him), because I was not instantly offended when I heard it. Instead, I was very calm and listen to her next few words very carefully. I remeber feeling a bit sad, and in my head, I was telling myself "I am not easily broken. I will use all the power in my hand to make sure things are alright. All I need is little more time! To prove her wrong! It's too early to make any comclusions. Even she can't say for sure that I will ...............)" Yes, I remember saying this silently to myself....

When come to think of it now, the whole scenario should have been extremely devastating. There was ONE BLOODY SENTENCE that hurt the most. Not then, as I said, I was calm then, but now the words sounded sharp (and bitter), and the expression she has on her face is very lucid in my head. I know where my faults are, but the comments she made was just totally the wrong way to deliver the message...Do not let anyone downgrade you, do not...

I refuse to surrender to this tormenting memories. By recapping the whole incident over and over again, will just make me feel more upset than I am already are. I know I will not give in to this difficult time (goodness, am working on it!), so I dont need anyone to tell me that my future is already damned before I even get to the end line.

The only thing (and a few other things) I hate about myself is not knowing how to defend myself in such circumstances. I am good at maintaining my temper, I would say it is one of my strong points, but it can also be my weakness. (I can be bitchy, I just prefer the other way). In this case, now, I really think I should have said something. Not that I was agreeing to her comments, I guess I was just shocked to the extend of becoming silent. That's my natural mechanism of protection against heartache. Hmm....Not long after that, we were talked and gigled as usual about some other things as if the offensive comments meant nothing to me. Or as if it was some normal, usual comments for her to give.

I realised that being calm is a symbol of strength but it could also be a sign of ignorance...Which one is ME??

All I know of me is, sticks and stones may break my bones, but names can never hurt me..certainly not her!
