My Kad Hari Raya

Tak sangka, banyak jugak terima kad raya tahun ni... even though, they were only virtual cards. I really appreciate them. It shows that I am in their array of memory for their hari raya card lists :) Thanks you very much. Most of the cards I received via friendster...As a token of appreciation, I will announce their name..

First I got it from Khulia, pal since undergrad. She's doing DPLI @ utm. She had the courage to lari2 joining the KoQ although in maternity leave.. fuuh...sb terpaksa katenye. Hopefully, nothing happens in the future
The second card goes to faizah. One of aisyah and imran favourite acik. She's getting married this coming november. I am still thinking what kind of wedding present that I should give.

The 3rd card come from Azhani. She's my old jasinian pal. It's so luvly to receive the card from her though we're not really keep in touch

The 4th card comes from my brother in law, my sister's husband a.k.a Aisyah and Imran's Pak Lang. He's a policeman. Very dedicated policeman :)


The 5th card goes to roza...hi roza. aku tau mu baca entry ini. Should I describe about you? Nanti mu kate aku mem'fofular'kan mommy sufira and syaura. But ngko already famous what? Roza, my old classmate. We're in the same Rahim Kajaians. Is it our class name? huhu.. She's brilliant in physic... n that's why she's an engineer....

My 6th card come from CT. She's my husband's friend wife. We're becoming friend via fotopages and friendster...even though virtually, she's very friendly. It's so amazing, most of her friends are my friends..huahuaha..possibly because she's doing medical course together wif them. I never met her. InsyaAllah, if I am not very busy during raya months (we need to move in to notts), I will go to Coventry.. or Ct just come to my house.. dah penah datang dah kan :)

My 7th card come from my brother in law's fiancee. She's expert in cooking :)


Thanks for those luvly cards... It's so amazing, none of the cards yang sama...hehehe...banyak jugak virtual cards from different website....adakah ini merugikan Pak Posmen?

The things that keep preying on my mind

Today, my life as a postgrad student begins ... as a wife, mommy for 2 children and student...Can I manage it within 3 years without extension? wif hubby that has same mission as well. Who's going to look after Imran n aisyah? Do our take turns plan in nurturing them whilst doing research will perform well? Should we hired somebody from malaysia? but who?

How's bout the new house? It must has off street parking, nearby the university, easy access for riding the free shuttle bus, no heavy traffic jam, ample spaces for my children to play and for us to study at home, reasonable rent as well. Is there any house that meet those? still searching..hmm...we have to find one! asp..somebody already rent this house. How bout us? Can't imagine I am having a situation like Brendon in Shopaholic and Baby ..searching a house to move in or have to sleep on the street ..more easy..just sleep in the car...:(:)

What am I babbling about.. the effect of tiredness because of the induction days

My first cakes

Seumur hidupku tidak pernah membuat kek....

Kek pertama..my humble kek thriffle

sonang aja, jelly puding tu beli cap sundip kat almizan, pakistan mari.. masak je atas dapur..

My 2nd cake ever adalah kek coklat moist...terkial2 guna stand mixer and mengayak tepung..huhuhu (merasmikan flour sifter dari Ikea)

Buat masa bulan pose...tengah2 sibuk dok mixing..lupe pulak letak ingredient minyak masak..dah half way baking baru terperasan..nasib baik sedap (hubby kate)...ehehe

Imran and the Stairs

See his face..suke beno naik tangga

End of this month, sept 30, Imran will be one year old. Dah besar anak ibu. Recent progress is he can move forward for about 5-7 steps before falling down..

And for about last 2 weeks, he can climb the stairs..sampai atas..terkejut betul masa mula-mula dia succeed sampai atas...masa first time dia cuba naik tangga di rumah baru ni..dia dah jatuh tangga...tak pasti kat stair nombor berapa...

Actually, he had shown his climb skill masa kat rumah skudai (9 months)..fuuh tangga kat rumah tuh lagi la horrible..tinggi...at that moment, taktau pulak imran pandai memanjat ni.. masa tu me ada basuh baju kat tingkat atas..dengar suara dia...bobebobe..main-main mcm suke..sekali tgk dia telah berada half perjalanan naik tangga...sungguh horror..waktu tuh..dia betul2 tgh meniarap kat atas tangga..waaaa....alhamdulilah, tak jatuh sbb tuh lagi tinggi , plus bersimen...waktu nak ambik imran time tuh, dalam hati punye la berdoa sangat-sangat sbb dia berada sipi-sipi kat stair itu..

The photo below ni among the first moment dia berjaya naik atas (kali kedua rasanye)...

Naik tangga sbb nak kejar kakak naik atas

Cerita Aisyah with her grandma - ( new photos added)

Aisyah n uwan ( masa kenduri doa selamat di rumah che long, klang)

Aisyah and her grandma ( 1 years old, convocation Mak Lang)

Aisyah and uwan ( a few minutes after melihat dunia )
( baru-baru lahir dah pandai kenyit mata dgn uwan)

This story is about my first and the only one daughter (this moment), melati aisyah which is famous dgn gelaran cacah among family members and she called herself kakak if kat rumah.

Aisyah ni manja beno dgn grandma (uwan) nye especially lepas papa gi sorang2 ke UK last november, ditambah pula duduk dgn uwan for about 3 months (include my tempoh berpantang 2 months, plus 1 months kene tinggal ngan uwan, coz waktu tu me ada kursus SLAB and sorang2 kene jaga adik imran (the days after papa leaving to UK).

Above photo has taken before the days papa leaving to UK. Masa tuh tembam muke aisyah. Lepas papa gi, ibu tengok pipi dia tak setembam itu. Adakah kerana dia kuat main sampai kurus, or sbb ibu tak rajin makan, especially malam, sbb ibu mendiet... and tido pun awal, pukul 9 dah off.

Sejak itu, aisyah bertambah2 manja dgn uwan. But she want both, uwan and ibu. Kalu ibu gi jalan, dia nak ikut..tapi uwan mesti ikut jugak..so it's impossible. Ingat dulu, masa tuh kami nak balik ke skudai, sekali dgn papa..punyela aisyah menangis2 dalam keta sbb uwan tak ikut. Sekali berenti je kedai rajeswari (kedai depan umah uwan) beli gula2, terus senyap tak ingat uwan dah.. bila dalam keta tido, tapi sampai skudai, ingat uwan balik..

Aisyah memang gitu. There was a moment yang uwan datang skjap kat rumah UTM, saje je cakap kat aisyah (waktu tu dia tgh mandi), then kate la, aisyah, uwan nak balik..sedangkan waktu tu uwan ada kat bawah...punye la dia nak cepat2 keluar dari bilik air, nak ikut uwan... sekali time uwan balik betul2...masa uwan gi tuh..memang beria dia menangis...tapi lepas tuh jumpa je anak jiran sebelah...main..terus lupe...

There is a moment, aisyah akan ingat uwannye... bile dengar org ngaji or azan kat radio..then nanti dia akan sebut,..uwan..uwan..( iyela, dia ingat uwan dia la tuh tgh ngaji...huhu)...

I am going to flashback, the moment before departing ke england ni. On July 27 (Sunday), at 9.oo pm kat KLIA. aisyah bergembira main lari2 with her cousin, abang alif...then makan ayam KFC, uwan suapkan sbb tak makan lagi...memang dia begitu bergembira...sbb dia taktau ape2.. kene masuk gate before 11 pm rasanye sbb flight MAS depart pukul 11.50 pm.

At that moment, kami orang yang paling lewat sbb before tu me gi wash room dulu...me tak tau pulak dah lambat..huhu..punyela kelam kabut..tak sempat nak sedih2..cepat2 sorong aisyah (stroller)..aisyah rasanye waktu tuh pelik awatla orang lain lambai2 dia kot..masuk je lift n sampai level bawah utk check first imigresen (pasport)...aisyah dah mula nangis...nak uwan, nak uwan...sampai officer tuh tanya...ooo nak uwan dia ke...

then proceed utk check hand luggage etc..tgh sibuk2 kene check..dia menjerit2 nangis nak uwan..nak uwan...sampaikan bile dah lepas port tu..boleh dia keluar balik sorang2 bawak botol susu..menjerit nangis nak uwan.....masa tuh our relatives sume ada kat first level..betul2 kat atas tempat check tuh...fuh..jauh jugak ye org lain boleh tgk..panjang betul hallway tuh sampai ke port utk naik train masih boleh nampak2 n lambai2 lagi..pandai betul mereka2 itu mencari jalan itu...huhuhuh... sampai la a naik train, baru dia senyap..pelik kot tgk orang2 lain....

Then sampai la ke another airport building...penat betul bawak barang2 banyak2...dukung imran lagi..dah le takleh bawah trolley ittew...sampai ke last check out sblm naik flight...aisyah dok sebut nak uwan..nak uwan lagi, nasib baik tak nangis kuat2 mcm masa mula2 ...sampaikan officer tuh kate, sian dia nak uwan....

our luggage... 77kg

Then masuk je flight, barula dia berhenti sebut...sbb pelik tgk ramai beno orang...plus orang nye pulak lain je....org pakistan, indonesia, omputeh lagi banyak..sbb tuh dia terkedu n senyap...nasib baik sepanjang perjalanan 60% mereka tido pada malam itu...bile bangun je...senyap aisyah, termenung dia tgk muke omputeh yang kat sekitar seat ittew...

Adik Imran baru bangun tido..

aktiviti di dalam flight.. makan

aktiviti dalam flight..main
kakak aisyah yang sedih....

After 13 hours ...merentasi benua-benua

sampai juga ke destinasi...

Sampai hearthrow, around kul 6..lepas imigresen etc kul 7.30..lebih sejam jugak tunggu National couch utk ke lboro...boring betul...masa itu aisyah masih bertanyakan uwan, tapi waktu tuh, uwan lum balik skolah lagi...so kami suh dia cakap dgn mak teh....

boring menunggu..

Then...bile sampai je rumah.. aisyah leka beno dgn mainan yang papa sediakan sejak 7 bulan yang lalu....memang suke beno dia main...terus lupe kesedihan dia....

She's busy making cakes..sbb itu dia lupe sebentar kesedihannya..

Bile papa call uwan guna webcam first time dia nampak uwan kat dalam kamera..memang takut beno dia...terus tak nak cakap dgn uwan...mungkin dia heran kenapa uwan ada dalam komputer..sama la mcm papa kene dulu...takut beno dia bile nampak papa dalam komputer...sbb dia takut, memang dia tak cakap banyak dgn uwan..dia cuma dengar je apa yang uwan or uncle cakap...sbb dia tak pandai bertanya ape2...memang dia dengar je....

Not forgetting Imran busy exploring his new toys as well

But there was one day..papa tinggalkan dia sorang2 web cam dgn uwan...sekali, mau dia jawab balik ape yang uwan cakap...oooo penyegan rupenye my lil daughter..nak privacy...nak cakap bile sorang2..huhuhuh

Flashback: When she first learn how to use the hand phone..not for eating

Then...last 2 weeks..papa top up handset papa..O2..so dapat call malaysia free selama 50 minit...barulah dia rancak bercerita dgn uwan..siap bawak handset papa, turun bawah...tunjukkan mainan puzzle dia...tunjukkan adik imran buat ape...tunjukkan basikal dia kat luar rumah..katenye basah...kene hujan....dia ingat uwan boleh nampak la ape yang dia tunjuk tuh..huhuhuh....kalu web cam boleh la...huahauhau

Playing with her new friend, Phia ( she named it after her second baby cousin, Sufia, coz she love to look after Sufia like a big girl already)

But she never forget her grandma...while playing her toy phone...antara conversation yang me penah dengar...

1st dialog >
aisyah: uwan...tak dengar ( kenkonon dia tepon, uwan tak dengar ..dia tirula tuh masa call guna webcam, kadang2 uwan kate tak dengar..huahauahua)

2nd dialog>
aisyah: uwan..ngaji...( oooo dia telefon uwan..tapi uwan ngaji)

Kat bawah ni...gambar masa dia acting tengah telefon uwan


But she never forget her grandma...cuma bile time dia ingat uwan, tgk2 jam malaysia pukul 12 tgh malam, then kate kat dia uwan tidoooooo...

Sekarang, aisyah kuat nangis...sikit2 nangis..jerit kuat2 lak tuh...so skrang dia dah jadi adik aisyah...imran jadi abang imran...agaknye sbb takde kawan...so dia takut bile sorang...sampaikan papa kene kate kat dia, papa nak gi sembahyang (bile nak gi ofis). Otherwise dia nak ikut. Sbb rasanya she feel more safety bile papa ada. Anak papa la katakan.... sbb dia kuat nangis..dah berapa kali 'kene' dgn ibu..huhuhuh...kesian aisyah...

Aisyah pulak la ni kuat beno menyakat adik..ape yang adik main, kereta sorong, even sudip pun dia ambik...kadang2 imran menangis jugak..kadang-kadang penyabar jugak imran ni..hehehe...dia dah semakin pandai..tak mcm toddler 2 tahun yang takde adik...dia dah pandai....

Sebelum ni, bile ibu marah kan adik..nanti dia akan jerit marah kat ibu sbb buat adik nangis...yang kelakanye bile me kate, ooo marah ibu ye..cakap dgn papa...terus dia senyap...then bile papa balik..terus takut...huahauah... lepas 2 kali dia buat mcm tuh...sekarang lain pulak... dia akan kate

ibuuuuu....nanti iman naaaangisss.... (slow and panjang sikit nada dia)..huauahua... teringat dulu, uwan dia yang ajar suh sebut uwaaaan (pelan-pelan) . Otherwise dia akan jerit marah...pandai dah anak ibu...tapi kuat nangis tuh yang tak tahan tuh...

And it's so amazing actually. Aisyah' s grandma also has a blog to impart knowledge and express her thought as well.. http://aisyahgrandma.blogspot.com

Second Blog Gift

Didukung oleh: Antown, Mangosteen, Sha, Jasmine, emh, Mummy HnH, Mimi, wani..!

Received from roza as well. Semoga pembaca-pembaca blog ini tetap bersinar walaupun semasa dibulan ramadhan ini. Thanks for visiting.

First Blog Gift

Received this lovely gift from roza... me also love your blog...everyday jadi visitor.. background tuh teringat buku tulis masa skolah dulu (skrang ni pun guna jugak buku jalur itu), tapi background tuh mcm merujuk masa skolah-skolah dulu..agaknye disebabkan oleh lukisan-lukisan itu...huhu...kalu kotak-kotak..teringat pulak buku matematik...

Finally

Finally, dapat jugak lesung batu yang diidam-idamkan. Survey kat tempat lain, ikea, kedai cina, sume mahal, lebih 10pound. Lesung batu sebijik mcm kat malaysia, yang harganye lebih kurang rm10, kat kedai cina dia jual 13pound..mak ai.. then, terpaksa la beli yang dekat tesco, harganye separuh dari itu, 6 pound, kira mahal tapi itu yang paling murah disini..hmm..apakan daya, I can't survive without it..me lebih suke menumbuk daripada menggunakan blender, leceh for blend small quantities.

My granite pestle and mortar. Haha gambar lesung batu pun nak tunjukkan. tapi apakan daya, that among bende2 yang me idamkan for this moment. Thanks abang.

Then, finally, after testing the process twice, berhasil jugak cendol yang diidam-idamkan oleh my husband. Walaupun takde tool yang lubang2, guna bekas buah plum yang ada lubang-lubang tuh.. menjadi jugak. walaupun gemuk2. Macam mane ye nak dapat cendol bentuk nipis and panjang? anybody knows?

See how gemok the cendol are? huhu...asalkan ada rasa cendol

Kene improvise lagi ni, kacang kasi rebus bagi lembut2 sangat then nak buat air gula merah...

Then, finally, dapat jugak me menghasilkan bihun goreng yang me sendiri menyukainye termasuklah suami dan anak-anak. Before this, my bihun goreng, ada je yang tak kenenye. tak sedap mcm my mom buat.. frust aje bile memakannya. But yesterday, nak makan, nak tambah lagi...Ikut resepi kak fadra, one of lboro member...

Aisyah and the bihun goreng. Main je lebih tuh. Makan ayam je.

Woolworths call us again

Notes utk papa: Thanks abang for the very busy weekend. Terima kasih daun keladi....

On the way back from leicester, me requested papa utk gi The Rushes shopping mall. Hajat nak pergi Woolworths sbb really crazy clearance sale. Bayangkan 50% off from the marked price. Mencari baju n seluar anak2 yang memang selalu shortage.

Mencari garment yang kurang 3 pound. Sbb bile 3 pound, nanti dapat off lagi 50%, so jadi 1.5 pound. Dapat jugak cekup t shirt ladybird n mickey harga sepound. Then dapat off 50%, jadi 50 pence je..kat malaysia mane nak dapat tshirt brand gitu dgn harga rm3.50 kan..

Dapat aa sorang 4 pasang utk celebrating raya.. Hmm nak raya jugak ke kat sini? huhuh..mcm takde intention utk beraya di sini. Mungkin boleh ikut raya mcm arab saudi, lepas solat raya, gi piknik bawah pokok..huhuh

Sambil2 tu mencari kasut utk dipakai masa nak gi school nanti. Sekali nampak boot cantik. Dah belek2, teliti betul...alamak..awat ada 3 bintik ni..mcm tak caya je, sbb first time nampak..siap check 2-3 kali lagi..huhuh...kelaka la pulak...aise...nak kene samak ni..geli...cepat2 gi carik toilet..nasib baik kat sebelah je..goli...tapi mcm cantik je kat 3 bintik tuh, sama je...mcm pattern yang ditekap dkt kasut je..huhuhuh.

Biasala, bila shopping dkt papa, mesti takleh lama-lama. So ada la hajat yang blum dibeli.. Nak beli jacket sejuk anak2. Marked price 5 pound. So nanti dapat off 50%, dapat 2.50 pound je. Mane nak dapat baju sejuk harga gitu selain dkt car boot. Tapi papa kate, mengkayakan woolworth je. But me think 'sometimes' my lovely children deserve for wearing new clothes. Not from car boot jer. That's why ibu kerja kan sayang...Tapi...it's really worth n crazy shopping there.

With their new clothes

Kakak aisyah launch her new clothes. Punye la tak sabar2 nak pakai. Siap tanggal baju n seluar sendiri nak pakai baju baru. Bile ibu kate kene mandi if nak pakai baju baru, then dia siap masuk bilik air sendiri nak mandi..adoooi.... then siap ambik baju baru adik iman, suh adik pun pakai jugak.

Leicester here we go

Leicester City welcome sign

Last Sunday, with request from me of course, papa drove us to leicester town. dekat je rupenye. Jalan yang sama digunakan if we're going to Qourn car boot every sunday. Lebih kurang 20 minit from lboro. The destination was Melton Street, kedai Tai Fatt yang famous ittew.

Sampai-sampai je bandar leicester, berderet2 kedai indians, saress house berdozen-dozen, sume kedai indian names. Bank of India pun ada. Org yang lalu lalang pun jenis indians jugak la. Fuh..really surprised mane omputeh duduk, even kedai mereka pun takde kat situ. Oooo mereka duduk at the edge of the city. Mane diorang nak geng dgn foreigner, kat gitu. Kan mereka terkenal dgn discrimination. Ala indians sini pun berlagak jadi mat salleh.

Hubby kate, leicester ni tempat pembuangan indians. Sbb tuh kot, mcm berada di calcutta pulak..(mcm penah pergi jer, huhuh).

Tai Fatt Chinese Supermarket

There are a lot of groceries selling there. First time datang. Tercapai hajat. Sampai-sampai, terserempak dgn keluarga kak zana. Mereke pun shopping sana, berkotak2. Antara barang2 yang dihajat untuk di beli dan tercapai di sana

1.Lengkuas
2. Jem Kaya..takyah buat..ritu buat jadi jem kelapa la pulak..huhuh..terlebih pukul telur la tu
3. sos ikan
4. Lime leaves (daun limau purut), inilah hajat utama sebenarnya. Sbb nak wat nasi paprik. Daun ni mereka freeze dan simpan dalam peti beku. Utk tahan lama
5. Tempe...hmm..boleh la..tak sesedap seperti biasa
6. Perasa pandan... akhirnya dapat jugak tapi mahal 2.50 pound utk 3 botol kecil, made from indon
7. Tomyam paste
8. Suhun..akhirnya...
9. sup bunjut...hurray..sbb dah habis stok
10. tauhu....bestnye leh masak lemak tauge
11. keropok udang..hm..carik keropok ikan, tapi takde
12. rambutan and mangga tin...dapat gak merasa rambutan kat england ni..made in thailand..pagi tadi sahur dah merasmikan nye

Tengah2 mencarik barang yang nak dibeli, ternampak fish ball..memang mencarik lama fish ball.. tapi aisey, sekali fish ball with pork filing..alamak...geli den...nak kene samak tangan ni...hmm teringat jusco, sbb ituhla agaknye jusco separate halal n non halal food. Kedai cina ni mane kisah.

Memang banyak barang2 malaysian kat sini. Masalahnye lagi dkt dgn malaysia produk tuh, lagi mahal barang2 nye. If made in china kira reasonable lagi harganye. Hmm sbb itu, beli tak banyak pun ongkosnye mencecahkan 40 pound....sampai hubby kate maybe ni last gi sini sampai masuk next elaun..huhuhu

Junction 28

Last Saturday, after looking one of the house to let at Lenton Abbey area, behind the University of Nottingham, papa drove us to Junction 28 Shopping Mall, Designer Outlet. It's surprising actually cos without any request, papa bawak window shopping kesana. Even though sebenarnye papa ada niat nak beli jersey. Kalu tak, impossible jugak if without request from me..hehehe

East Midlands Designer Outler

It's famous for shopping branded products. But the prices are not same as the one from retail shops. Kira mcm factory outlet but for big and fame name of designer like Gap, Mark n Spencer, Levis, Clarks etc. Me sempat membeli fleece jumper kaler purple from OutdoorScene Outlet costs 5pound and Skirt from Roman costs 8pound. Hmm payah beno mencarik skirt tebal or jeans kat negara omputeh ni. Payah sangat2. Banyak2 kedai singgah kat situ, ada nampak satu kat Mark n Spencer costs 12pound. rugi pulak tak beli..huhuh Nampak banyak pun dekat Roman, tapi takde saiz..

The funny was kat kedai roman tuh, most of the customers old ladies ..is it means my taste ni menyerupai taste 60 old ladies here...huhuh..iyela, aku mencarik skirt labuh, org2 muda mane main cam gitu, diorang main skirt pendek takpun bantai jeans je..it's so pity living here coz I hate wearing trouser actually..

Jalan-Jalan di Nottingham

Yesterday, 4 september, we went to the nottingham city again. The main purpose was to look up houses to rent di hyson green area a.k.a forest fields. Very fantastic. Most of the shops there dipunyai oleh pakistanese.. halal meat, groceries, driving school, barber shop, kedai telefon, agent pelancongan, kedai kek, kedai pizza, kedai makan even mereka boleh lepak dgn kedai makan sana pekene teh tarik if not in fasting month...waa...best sungguh...mcm di malaysia la pulak

We found 2 mosque there, the biggest one is fatimiah jamiyah mosque. Sponsored by pak arab tokei minyak kot. The other one is karamia masjid. Katenye masjid ni kiblat salah. For them if the kiblat masih within around 90 darjah menghadap kaabah, boleh dijadikan kiblat. Dengar kata sampai ada perbalahan dgn pak pakistan ttg kiblat di karamia masjid tuh. Hanya Allah yang tahu.

In that area, there is a government free nursery. So aisyah mungkin dah boleh masuk nursery itu, if we stay there. Mesti aisyah suke, ramai kawan. There are a lot of malaysian staying at that area. Banyak-banyak sangat. When we walked around area situ, gi kedai2 pakistan to find the advertisement for rent, sempat berkenalan dgn 2 malaysians yang nak gi ambik anak skolah, kak ros and abang baharudin. Then masa jalan-jalan sana, berlambak nampak org pakistan...best sungguh nampak org muslim di sana... payah nak nampak omputeh kat situ...Sebab itu kot mereka menggelarkan this place ' madinah street'.

One more thing, at the front gate of the primary school, siap ada notice, happy ramadhan lagi. Dengar kate there is a slot for ramadhan which is for muslim student yang puasa, cikgu akan bercerita etc while the others having their lunch...Masa jalan2 di sana, rasa macam masuk dalam movie harry potter, batman etc.. sbb most of the building dah mencecah 100 tahun...siap ada tulis lagi kat bangunan tuh, 1904 etc...mcm tak percaya je...memang rasa mcm masuk dalam movie betul2....

Masa jalan2 di sana, first time ever nampak tram depan mata...nak tangkap gambar, papa kate buat malu je..huhuh...punyela tak penah jumpa tram, wondering, mcm mane if tgh driving terserempak dgn tram...hehehe...ala..buat mcm biasa je...ada driver, diorang boleh slow etc...bukannye mcm monorail etc...hehehe..kelaka betul

Actually before we went there, we stopped by the geography department at Nottingham University for submitting the original transcript to mrs jenny. Unfortunately, she wasn't there. Hmm buat penat je datang jauh2. Alhamdulilah, ada zaifa, one of my junior masa di utm and we are going to have same supervisor. And she's willing to pass it to Jenny.

Playing whilst ibu went to Sir Clive Granger Building

On the way balik, we stopped by the lake side at University Park. Suke beno aisyah nampak duck berenang..menjerit dia..tapi dia sebut...ibu 'bird, bird' hmmm

Very beautiful view, but not the figure of me

Aisyah n the 'bird'

Four of us

She's reading, is it?

With the big birds...taktau name ape..mcm swan pun ada
