Alhamdulillah. Finally I've finished the first part of my MSc - no more lectures, assignments, exams etc. Kire dah half way thru my MSc (IF i pass all the exams and assignments for the third block where the results will only be known maybe in April - doakan saye yer kwn2..huhu). And starting today, the new episode of my life began. I met my supervisor at the zoo, discussed a lil on my methodology and started my first preliminary observation (pilot study). Babu and Fanindra are so cute (my two rhinos for 4-5 months..huhu). They allowed me to pet and feed them. I heart them already. hohoho..

But, even I've already love those two rhinos, the thought of waking up 6.45 in the morn to start my morning observation at 8.30 and finish observing at 5 pm, dampen all my love for those rhinos, the zoo and everything related to that matter. I'm not mentally prepared yet to start this research .... arrrgghhh...

Guys, please do pray for my success. thank you..huhu... Later!

My friends and I went to Thaisanuk last night. Usually we will take a bus - lazy to walk & freezing. But as yesterday was Sunday, the bus service ended up early - as early as 5 pm. So, we ended up walking to and from Thaisanuk. On the way back from Thaisanuk, I accidentally (hihi) looked up and for the first time in Edinburgh, I saw stars!! Not lots though, but still, my first stars in Edinburgh.huhu.

And as always, I started looking for my orion's belt and it was there!! It nearly brought me to tears as all the memories that associated with the stars since I was 17 years old and particularly when I was in First yr of my undergrad came flushing back to my mind. Luckily I was with friends, so have to control macho..hahaha..

Anyway, finding my orion's belt made me very happy yesterday. And I thank Allah for the beautiful stars He made and for giving them the power to cheer me up.

btw, I'll be having my final exam starting tomorrow morn at 9.30 pm. Do pray for my success..huhu..

There are lots of thing we wish we could forget… There are also lots of thing we wish we could remember… And sometimes, for certain memories, we wish we could do both. Forget ‘em whenever we want to forget. And remember, when we want ‘em to be remembered… And sadly, we don’t always get what we want…

 

 

I was sick a few days ago. Had headache, muscle ache, fever and sore throat. All those sickness are now gone except sore throat. I hate it! Urgghh.. But Kak Linda likes it. huhu.. Because she can do all the screaming and singing alone in the house without any other competitors. hohoho.

Guess i was sick because my Afiq was sick too at home. huhuhu. I miss him. I know he doesn't . He might not know what 'miss' is. The thought of him growing up makes my heart ache terribly. Wish I could stop the time so when i get back to Malaysia, he is still the same ol' Afiq whom I could cuddle with, cud play wrestling with etc. sob..sob..

Yep. I'm talking crap. And i blame my sickness for it. huhuhu..Later!

I'm tired. Did not get enuff sleep yesterday. So, was trying to sleep. But kept waking up a few times. Got hell loads of work to do. but not in the mood. I need to sleep!. But the comfy bed of mine doesn't feel and look comfy n'more. It doesn't calling out to me as it always does. Does it hate me too? 'too'?

Doing what i do best - negatively putting down myself. yeay! (urgghh..)


My head just did a somersault. And i feel upside down. Need to sleep.Yep.Seriously need more sleep.

It is about 7.50 pm here in Scotland. About 18 more hours to my last exam paper for this semester and yet, i'm still stuck in front of the laptop surfing and doing nothing in particular. huhu.

I did badly on my first paper 4 the exam. I'm worried like hell that i
might fail that paper. Seriously, I'm worried. I was planning to email
my program director yesterday to ask her if there's anything i can do
if i fail the paper. Punye la sampai mcm tu skali aku takut...serius
risau... But i did not email her sbb mcm extreme gile je baru habis
paper tu 3 hari dah nk ngade2 emel lecturer.huhu.. Tolong ek kawan2,
doakan aku lulus...

Tomorrow open book exam - STATISTIC!! Yang maksudnye kalau open book
ke, tak open book ke, same je tak leh jawab gak...hahaha.. I'm dead!!

Snow has started to fall - first time in this winter for a few hours last saturday (8th December 2007). So, u can imagine how cold it is and believe me, 10 layers of fats (like i have) won't help you in this time of year. U still need to wear extra clothes and with this extra fats I naturally (serius natural..hihi) have, I look like bola yang sangat besar. Nasib baik comel je la..huhu

Next week, Farid ( beliau adalah seorg perempuan - kawan SMAKL) n her friend akan dtg edinburgh. My along's fiance pun akan dtg sekali with her 2 friends. Pandai2 la tido berhimpit2 kat rumah aku yg sempit ni..huhu..

3 weeks Christmas break is not really a break for me. Have 2 assignments 2 submit naik cuti early of Jan nnt. yeay!! padan muke...huhu..

But still, lepas exam ni, dah plan nak gi main bowling, ice skating n tgk movie (tah bile tah). Then maybe on Monday nak ke Livingston Designer Outlet Store utk shopping (setelah sekian lame tak shopping)...Then habiskan 4 buah buku criter yg dah diorder dari Amazon.

Not really sure where to squeeze in my 2 assignments in my hectic schedule that I have planned above..hihihi...

Okay..Cahaye keinsafan dah sampai. Nak kene usha2 my stat notes. Doakan aku! Later!!

Yay!..gile lame tak update..gile malas nak update pun sbnrnye...hihi

My last entry was on the dilemma in choosing the best university nak wat master. And sekarang dah pilih n selamat sampai dah n selamat hidup for 2 months dah kat Edinburgh nih. huhuhu...

It's quite unbelievable for me to have survive this 2 months in Edinburgh without being chronically homesick.huhu.. I always thought before I came here that i will feel depress all the time as I have never been away from KL and family for more than a week (yes, saye sangat mengade-ngade). And seriously, i was so scared that i won't be able to concentrate on my studies and cant enjoy life as much as I used to back in Malaysia.

However now, I'm grateful I was wrong. Not because I'm able to concentrate on my studies which is so-not-true and also not because I'm enjoying my life as much as i enjoyed my life back in KL...but because I'm not as homesick as i thought i would be! I just can't concentrate on my studies because i
have trouble concentrating on anything since i was born (hehehehe) and I can't
enjoy my life as i used to because of financial constraint..huhuhu..

But still, i miss home so much. I miss my family and friends. I miss Only Mee, Yoshinoya, Sushi King & Genki Sushi, TGV OU and GSC, One Utama, Jaya Jusco, Arena OU, WNG 9709 etc.. I miss hanging out at mamak till 2 in the morning with Yah, Emmy etc. I miss talking on the phone for hours without having to think of the bill (tunggu kene marah je dgn ayah), I miss my mom's cook ( sebenarnye sbb aku x yah masak kat umah), I miss the weather (kadang2 je...huhu), I miss shopping, I miss my book collection, I miss Conan, Pakar Judo & Penyiasat Remaja comics, I miss playing n wrestling with Afiq, pendek kate, I miss Malaysia la...

Tapi nasib baik, life in Edinburgh is much better than I've expected. I have great flatmates (Kak Linda and Baity - thank you so much 4 being able to put up with me..yep, i know it's hard..but u guys managed...so,thanks again..huhuhu), halal groceries stores are just around the corner..huhu, Kedai Ah Seng dpn rumah je, Malaysians ramai and they are all very nice and helpful (serius bukan ayat bodek...hiihihi), along is just 4 hours away (at least I have family here compare to others yg takde sape), I got to learn how to cook and it turned out, I'm not bad at all and i'm naturally a good cook...hehehe..(masuk lif tekan sndiri), I learned to wash my own clothes (maksudnye belajar care menggunakan washing machine), I am now able to control my expenses (basically becoz I have no money to spend..huhu), I finally got the chance naik public bus yg dah berkurun lame tak naik since I got my license right after spm (becoz I have no car..sedey) and byk lg la benefits tinggal kat bumi Edinburgh nih..hihihi...

10 more months to go, and I know...I'll survive...Amiinnn.

Lots of love from Edinburgh,
