This is it

I woke up this morning refused to believe that the day has come for us leave Brisbane for good. I laid on the bed, wishing that we have one more day to stay, one more day to enjoy living in Brisbane, one more day to live like the regular day we have had for more than 3 years here. What a strange feeling I have, want to go home, but don't want to leave either. Especially when for the last couple of weeks we were busy with load of things, and when everything had settled, we just had a couple of days to enjoy our last week.

Well, that's life. Move on we must.

We will definitely, for sure, start a new life in Malaysia. A new chapter begins tomorrow, but I have yet to write the conclusion for this current chapter, soon insyaAllah, soon I hope.

Before moving on, I would like to give an update about a new halal butcher at Inala Centre. It was run by one of atang's friend, a Bangladeshi friend he met at work. We had a chance to visit the butcher last week.  Now, we can buy seafood and halal meat at one place. Crikey!!

To everyone that we met and got to know in this 3 and half years of journey, we would like to apologise for any wrong doing, halal makan dan minum ya. Thank you to friends who had invited us for dinner and lunch this last week, kurang la den memasak, and thanks to you all we have gained weight...ahahhahah...kata sedih, tapi badan naik...abih camno. And thank you to the family who had offered us their cosy home, for us to stay temporary.  And thank you to all who had helped us with the shipping and moving, you guys definitely made this moving matter at ease. And last but not least, thanks to you who have been following by humble blog for the last 3 years or so. Though we have never meet physically (almost all of you), but your comments have kept me going, through thick and thin.

Ok laaa....got about 12 hours more to enjoy the rest of Brissie day. Until we meet again, take care and thanks for reading.

yours truly,

Melancholy in November

Harinie perasaan bercampur gaur, happy, sedih, panic, risau.Besok hari terakhir serah kunci, besok juga la kontrak menyewa kami tamat. Baru aje balik dari mengemas, last minute clean up sebentar tadi. Besok pagi-pagi, carpet cleaning service akan datang untuk cuci carpet, salah satu syarat exit condition yg perlu dipatuhi dekat sini. Katanya ambil masa lebih kurang 2 jam juga la untuk membersihkan rumah opppsss... unit sewaan kami tu. I wonder how the cleaning process will take place. It would be interesting to see how they clean the whole unit, but it starts at 8 in the morning, am sure the kids are not ready to go out at that hour.

Today, I had the last meeting with my sifo, before working on the correction. Still need some clarification on what to concentrate, and what to disregard, the comments/feedbacks given by the panel. Adoiii....fenin jugak kepala nie nak response semua komen yg diberi. Fenin sebab tak cukup masa yng berkualiti untuk fokus. Plus nak bawak yaya n adik sight seeing sekitar Brisbane sebelum balik. Adoiii sifo, naper la tak bagi den sikit masa lagi.....issshhh tu la dia, orang dah bagi keje mudah, dok tangguh-tangguh lagi....

Before I went home today, I cleared up my desk, shredding papers, threw out unwanted things, adeh sodih pulak rasa bila tengok desk tu, perlahan-lahan kosong dan lapang. Tak sompek den nak ambil gambar, sodih sangat....


yours truly,
 

Dari Warren ke Brisbane Street

Lame betul tak update blog nih. Sibuk dengan packing, shipping, selling off our pre-loved items, moving luggages to a temporary accommodation, cleaning our apartment, terminate phone line, power supply, internet line, need to settle any outstanding bills, etc. Adoiiii.... so many things to do, but so little time we have. Tapi skrang nie tinggal nak cuci bilik mandi n toilet aje. Kami pun dah satu malam bermalam kat rumah kawan, tumpang kejap sampai hari berlepas. Lagipun untuk memudahkan kerja-kerja mengemas dan mencuci rumah, nak kena serah kunci hari Rabu ini.

Oh ya... nak ucapkan terima kasih pada kengkawan yang bawak macam2 juadah sempena jamuan farewell Sabtu lepas. Thanks Maryam for organising the feast, and thank you for inviting us. We had fun that day, especially the kids.

Ok laaa...short entry, have very limited time. Besok ada meeting dengan sifoo...ada hutang kerja dengan dia...aiyoh... camno nak buek... baru harinie dapat tengok2 kerja. Tak kasi chance langsung la sifoo nih...

yours truly,
