Meeting Alie, long time no see

Kengkawan, my presentation went well yesterday, thank you for all the wishes ya. But I need to improve more on the slides, will do that later, now as I promised, I want to concentrate on my blog.

As I have wrote earlier this week, we had lunch with long lost friend last Saturday, Alie is her name. We went to the same school, MRSM Jasin. Though we knew each other since form four, we only became close in form five. We hung out, and did a lot of nakal stuff together, ala... benda2 biasa aje laaa..duduk boarding school, macam-macam hal la buat kan... ahahahha..

We were actually a group of 8 girls. We called ourselves "the outlawz" kunun nampak cam ganas laaa....paling nakal yang we all pernah buat, "fly" dari hostel jek... we went outing, and decided to go home wayyyy past the curfew...ahahahha....mesti ramai yg pernah buat camtu kan... But when we have past the curfew hour, masing-masing mule glabah dah, kecut perut.. talking about innocent ... we thought of many things to go back home.... but everybody was afraid of the outcome.....tau takuttt wakakaka......luckily we met a very close teacher of ours (he is actually our softball team manager) at one of the shopping complex in ayer keroh...ala mana lagi JJ la tu...ahahahha... Sib baik cikgu nak hantar kitaorang pulang....kalau tak ada yang merempat kat balai polis...and that was the only time we did it....ONE time only.... kunun berani la sangat kan.... hampehhha....ahahhahah

I have a lot of fond memories with the girls..... We still keep in touch though.... lagi la dengan ada facebook nie... but I have not met any of them for a very long time.



I think the last time I met Alie was when she came to my bro's wedding in 1995. Giler lama tu, 14 years ago. She came down to Brisbane not for vacation, but she had work. Before she came to Brisbane, she asked me a favor to advance a payment for PINK! concert that she won from eBay. She went to the concert alone, yup, alone. Though this was not the first time she went to a concert, but in this particular concert, it was her first time going there alone. Giler berani makcik tu, in a strange land. But I told to myself, if anything happens to her, I should be blame as well. Alhamdulillah tak de apa-apa...perrghhh...selamat gue...ahahahhaha

The lunch was on her...orang belanja makan laaaa...and she even let me pick the place. So where else I would choose, but Hanaichi laaa...



I bought her something as a token of rememberance. I hope she like it :D. She left Brisbane that same night.



Hope to see her again in near future.

yours truly,

Ole-ole dari Malaysia

A good neighbour of ours just came back from Malaysia. They gave us these....

Terima kasih banyak-banyak...buat susah-susah aje :D

Actually I have a story behind this. Lately I noticed I am either attracted to things in red or have something around me in that color. I discovered through out the years, my favourite color keep on changing. When I was a little girl until teenager, I like blue. Then it changed to black and white during my campus year. Changed to green when I started working (my wedding dais and songket were also green :D), and still fond of green. But slowly am attracted to red. Maybe you noticed a number of objects in red around me; my pencil case, my camera case, and my study lamp. As an evidence, a quiz result that I took from the facebook supported it (tapi tak bleh caya la quiz nie, doing it for fun only :D)

"The more excitement they experience the more alive they will feel. Reds are practical, action-oriented, love to achieve results and be successful. They have an insatiable urge to win and create something valuable and important in their life. Their strong will power and intense, almost unlimited physical energy allows them to be extremely active, persistent and successful in virtually anything they do."

And now, the gift provides me with another evidence....and...ohhh.. I just remember the tissue box cover that was given by my colleague. Aahahhahaha.... tell me something... is it me changing or the surrounding that influence me to change (eh ke benda yang sama nie??).

But I still love green karer :p

Apa yang ku bebel laaa....

yours truly,

A special gift from

Halida gave me this as a remembrance.





Thank you my dear. I will treasure it, but the most valuable thing is our friendship. Wish you great success in your future.

“True love is rare, but true friend is even rarer”

p.s. hope you like my gift ya….yang tak seberapa tu :D

a present from a good friend

A good friend of mine, a closest friend in my research, because both of us work together for we have almost the same research problem, recently gave me this. What a coincidence, I just move in to a new apartment, so it was like a moving-in gift. Imported from China (she came from Beijing, China).



What is it?? jeng jeng jeng......










(bawah lagi...)

















(lagiiii.....)
(ada kengkawan suke buat camne kan...mau kasi suprise!!!!)














(sikit lagi..........)





tadaaaaaaaaaaaa


cover utk kotak tisu...... Dia bagi kaler merah.... She said for good luck (you know that Chinese believe RED will bring good luck to them right).....another good vibe..... But it really gorgeous, kain satin tu... when I got home, I quickly put in a box of tissue, and took many pictures of it. I couldn't stop looking at it the rest of the day. I promise to show her these pictures, but she is away on holiday now.



There was also a small card came with the present.... am so touched with what she wrote inside the card..... "I love you too" ...hehehehehheh

Yaya birthday party : the gift

Thanks for all wonderful gifts. Yaya is so happy.

A wonderful gift from a wonderful friend

I received a parcel sent via courrier from a wonderful friend in Kota Bharu. Thank you…thank you…. I am speechless when I saw the hijab. I knew I was getting a hijab from her. She has mentioned it to me. She said this gift as a motivation for me to work harder. What surprised me most is the embroidery on the hijab. She has sewn that herself. A delicate work, done by a mother of 2 boys, working full time, performing a demanding job everyday. But her thought of sewed (is this the correct word to use?) and finishing it before raya, has put me almost to tears.





Thank you so much Gee for a wonderful gift. It was so sweet of you. Thanks again for hearing my trouble and consoling me. May Allah bless you and your family always.

Balik kampung : Episode 4 : The gifts

These are the results of the shopping spree we did at Harbour Town. Two bags of Canterbury for both side of families and 3 bags of Pumpkin Patch. What are inside the bags?



I shouldn't reveal the content. Though love ones back home can guess what are inside those bags, but they do not know exactly what are in there. A SURPRISE!!
What ever it is, we hope they will like it.



This weekend another shopping spree to be done for my brother. He sent an sms requesting something. The location.... will blog about it soon.

Balik Kampung : Episode 1 : The request

I got greenlight from the big boss to take a break at one place that is always in my heart. InsyaAllah, 2 weeks from now we will have iftar (breaking fast) with the love ones at home.
Before that, there are many things to be done. One of it is to full fill a long time request of beloved sistah and close cousin.

So last Saturday, we drove down to the only place that we could buy the requested thing at a very reasonable price.

We rented kak su's car because our car is not fit to travel long distant.


This was our destination, about 1 hour ride from Brisbane.


Harbour Town @ Gold Coast


What were we looking for, travelling far out of Brisbane?
