its raining its pouring~

salam.

its been 2 days already. yeah. 2 days since i'm bak in malaysia ter-chenta. wee~ it feels greeaaaaat to be home. heee. anyways, i have 4 days left until i have to go to kemaman and start my work practical. *sigh* so, i guess i have to really use the time left wisely to go meet my friends n hang out wif em.

this morning, i had breakfast at mcd wif fana dearie and we updated each other with some hot gossips like we always do. haha. :P i had my all time favourite meal; double cheese burger n obviously it tasted so goood! :D after dat, went to see Iffah, who's now oso bak in m'sia. she's now 7 months pregnant! aiyaaa. this gurl who used to be my deskmate bak in skewl is now waiting to deliver her baby in like 2 more months! gosh. i still cudnt believe that she's someone's wife already. and in a few more months, she's gonna be someone's mum! huhuhu. and i'l be auntie yana soon! gosh. i feel so old. :( neway, i'm happy for u iffah dearie. i noe u'l be a great mum indeed! :D

its been raining cats and dogs outside rite now. kjap lagik after isya', my whole family is going to have dinner with uncle Peter kat Soho. a few yrs ago, masa dinner ngan uncle ni, dia penah try kunyah btg serai tuh masa mkn tomyam. he actually thought yg serai tu utk dimakan. haha. lawak gle. adeiii.
well, i better pegi bersiap2. kang bising plak encik ayah dan encik ibu.

till then~

after exam post

yeah, i know, i know. exams are way over and everybody's longing to get back home. gosh. one whole yr of uni has finished n next yr, i'm gonna b a 3rd yr student already! how time flies! i'm growing olddddd in just a blink of an eye. huu~ n speaking of dat, i'l be adding a digit to my age in less than a month! T_T well, take it from the bright side, i'm a grown up now n i'l be finishing my degree soon enuf! no more studying n stressing out due to assignments, tests, projects n of course, exams! *sigh* i hoped dat everyone did pretty well in the past exam. which actually turned out to be not so pretty for me. thermodynamics was totally hard n i dont even have the slightest clue in answering the last 2 questions which contributes a total mark of 70. blergh! thermo sux! i hope dat i wont have to retake the whole subject again nxt yr or otherwise i'm a dead meat! sob3. T_T

anyway, its now thursday n in just another 3 more days i'm on my way bak. ngee~ =D =D =D *cant wait! cant wait!* i've been a bit of a homesick-er for d past few days n i'm tryin really hard to just get over those sad-pathetic-hideous feelings. neva mind that. now that izzati's done wif her exams, we'll b having some fun shopping around tomorrow n the day after! n the next day, i'l b leaving for m'sia already! =D so, there'l b no more time to be depressing thinking about home all d time. =P

btw, i wont b spending much time at home for d 1st month i get bak coz i need to be in kemaman to do my industrial training over there for quite a while. i just hope that evrythin will turn out good n the training will b fun n enjoyable (am i askin' too much 'ere?). haha. =P n yeah, especially to afiq buccukkk, please be ready utk kene paksa membelanje when i'm there! hee. n dun forget a big n splendid bufday partaaayy for me okie! =D wow, this is sure gonna b freakin' great! hehe. =P to my besties, plzzz come to kemaman when i'm there. we can go n hav fun in cherating or pulau kapas or pantai ...(i forgot d name of d beach already...) or bdr kuantan or anywhere laaa. just come n we'l figure somethin' out! =D

gosh, this is makin' me outrageously impatient to get bak to msia! i soooooo have plenty of plans to do! yeay! this summer break is gonna b pretty awesome!

*i really wish it will!*

counting days

today is already thursday which leaves me to another 13 more days till final exam which also means that i'm 23 days away till i leave for malaysia! yabedabadooo! :D

*cant wait!!*

coming to think of the australian currency yg jatuh dgn sangat rakus, hilang plak smngat nk blk. haha. its approaching the end of the yr n as usual, end of yr means = sale, sale sale!

but, sales become useless when u have no money to spend!

*weeps and weeps and weeps and weeps*

:'( :'( :'(

anyhow, i need to stop thinking about going-home stuffs n start concentrating on my studies.
aihh. if 100% means ready for exam, then i'm only at 10% level.

*sigh*

nway, try this song. supeeeer cool, i'd say!




p/s- THE parcel has arrived!! yeay! i soooo cannot wait to see the look on izzati's face when she comes home later! hehe. :D

PPE yang serabut dan Naz yang dah tuwe =p

argh. i hate finding resources to do project reports. everytime i searched tru google books for articles, there must always be those copyright thingys dat prevents me from viewing those articles etc.

aihhh.

why cant they make my life easier?

oh PPE, bile la nak siap..................... T_T


p/s
happy birthday to NAZ!!! sowey lmbt! bz la kononnye. =_='

I don't do surprises

i just love this song rite now. have been playin' it all nite. hee. its a song by Axle Whitehead entitled Dont Do Surprises. he's d former host of 'Video Hits' and actually one of d Australian Idol contestants. enjoy!




nway, it has been a really pressuring weekend for me. d matlab questions are super tough indeed! imagine doing just ONE question in 3 nights! aihh. =( gladly there'l be no more matlab assignments afta this. dat leaves to just one more major assignment dat needs to be submitted by d end of d month, which is the PPE research project. n afta dat, finals! gosh! n i am totally not any close to being prepared for d exams! *sigh*

today, i think i have just made up my mind (up until now la =p) to do my industrial training at 2 different companies when i get bak. so, there'l be not a lot of time to hang-around-have-fun-together-go-shopping-play-bowling stuffs wif my besties i guess. i'l only b free one week afta i've reached home n 1 week b4 i fly bak to adelaide again. d rest of d time will be spent training at those companies. haih. i dont know where i got d willingness to sacrfice my leisure time from. haha. hopefully i wont change my mind afta this. hihi. =p *hopefully*

8/7/08 (Tuesday)

we started our journey by taking the Tiger Airways flight from Adel-Melb around 8.45pm. coz there's no direct flight from Adel-NZ, so kene transit dulu at Melb. that night was really2 funny sbb kitorg sume tido dkt suraw airport. our flight to Christchurch,NZ was due d next morning. so kene la merempat jap. punye la takut n mmg x lena la tdo. siap peluk handbag masuk dlm sleeping bag lagik just in case ade org masuk nk merompak ke. who knows kan? haha.

after dat, headed straight to the famous Puzzling World, located in Wanaka. entered their illusion rooms n mmg cool gle! there were holograms, quizzes n riddles, eye tricks n many more. i felt really amazed by those ppl who were creative n smart enuf to create all those sort of illusions n tricks. :D mmg sgt pndaiiii la!




it was 5.30 pm when we were on d road again heading to Queenstown pulak. at dat time, the sky was already dark coz tgh winter. we chose to use an alternative highway utk smpai Queenstown cpt. little did we know dat d roads dat await were really dangerous n winding! mmg sgt2 teruk jln dia! teruk as in sgt2 takut! takut as in tepi jln is gaung n bukit n oso x ade benteng tepi jln. omg. scary gle dat time! ade jugak la budak2 nih yg da psycho2 dah n mulut masing2 da start berzikir. neway, last yr sebenanye mmg ade malaysian student yg pnh accident kat jln tuh n meninggal. huhu. alhamdulillah, eveything went well n everyone pun selamat smpai queenstown. dat nite checked in kat YHA hostel for 3 nites.

something happened btw on our way bak from Cashmere i think. there were a group of police officers doing a road block on one of the roads. as we had 9 ppl on board (max passengers shud only b 8 ppl), so we had to like get away from those guys. kalo x, nnt x pasal kene saman. huhu. so, we turned left into another road. but unfortunately, there were a couple of police officers already waiting there also. so, we had no other choice than to stop. luckily, they were only doing an alcohol test on d drivers. huhu. n policeman tu mcm x perasan je kewujudan lebey seorang passenger. but kitorg kene gak la warning coz x pakai seatbelts. naseb x kene saman! huhu.

dinner dat nite was kari ikan, sayur campur, kerabu epal, choc cake, banana cake, fruits, etc. huhu. heaven gle foods kat umah Auntie Rogayah. thanx again 4 d warm hospitality! :D d guys including arul were there too enjoying d foods. hee. suke la tuh. :P
