Thankful

Alhamdullilah....i am so blessed, i am nearly reduced to tears

I got an email from the visa application centre, that I will only be able to collect my visa 3 days later which is on Thursday, the day of my flight. Which means that I will not be able to take the plane on that day. What shitty luck. Nothing else to do, but to change flight date pronto!

We checked with ALL airlines possible and all were fully booked until early October or so. Panic and frustration seeps in.

Suddenly dad got a call and we were informed that there were fligths available on the 27th. Booked and confirmed the flight in a heartbeat. No doubt its gonna cost a bomb, since its extremely last minute but its my last resort.

Thank god for the time delay between UK and Malaysia, I can enroll in Uni on time, but with a slight jetlag of course. Hoping to doze off in the plane throughout the flight so I can conserve some energy or whats left of it when I arrive there.

edit: alamak, touchdown dekat heathrow, not in manchester.how to bring spices/anchovies semua tu, the security control there is unbelievably strict...

EDIT : received notification that my visa is ready for collection. So, back to the original plan.
i'll be leaving tomorrow!!

Dawn's Light

wow, my IQ must be around 80 something
do you know when people finish shooting for a music vid or movie
and the crew will say 'its a WRAP'
i actually thought that it is spelt as RAP
i should consider attending some language classes...ditzz

jsut now, me and mum unwrapped the huge parcel that arrived from UK- all my sis's stuff.
Stashed somewhere in there is a bear, its very limp, so i can bob its head up and down and move its paws in the air
i also found gwen stefani's fragrance, new and packaged....its now mine!! hehehehehe
there is also an abundance of bubblewrap which was used to pack all the fragile stuff like bowls and cups
as a result, i have been popping the bubbles frantically ever since , i bet everyone's addicted to it

bubblewrap makes you possessed

still waiting for my visa...everyone else is having the same problem so I guess its alrite *half-sigh*
3 zits appeared on my face *sigh*
i gained weight, hmmm very peculiar coz i didnt eat alot *prays that weighing scale is cacat*
get to see my husband at 10.am on CNN *yay yay*
people say that he is gay but who cares.

Better Days

Reasons why I am not so perky these couple of days

1. Where is my visa?? apasal tak approve lagi........waiting pisses me off, i have to rebook my flight twice because they wanted the damn visa, what if they cancel my flight?

2. Why hasnt the uni sent letter regarding the fees yet?its too too slow. how are my parents going to write up a bank draft..seriously, dont u want money?

3. Syeera just smsed me, havent seen her and wan for over a year and may NOT see them due to transport problems..............sedih gile gile, have to think of something....

4. I saw the drains filled, i mean FILLED with plastic bags at the bazaar ramadhan. Hate people who have zero concern for the environment. If the karipap/laksa/kuih lapis werent so nice, i would stop buying from there.

5. may have to cancel outing with sara, pj, yoke

6. watched An American Crime, a true story about child abuse which resulted in death, i hope gertrude or whatever-her-name is and her daughters and sons and neighbour who were involved rot in hell.

Pam organized a mini class reunion last week. It was kinda fun, but I had to leave early....

Forces In Motion

Just came back from submitting my Visa application. When I was there I saw people of all ages applying for visa, but mostly people my age because unis in UK are starting soon. Saw Arthur aswell 'coughs' as usual clad in his tee and skinny jeans.

A brief explanation about the procedure for those who want to know(based on my experience). The applicants has to take a number and wait for their turn. Then the officer will call out your number and he will check your passport/s and supporting documents. After this, you will be directed to the 19th floor where there will be a security check performed on you, just like in the airport. While inside the room, you will submit all your documents and pay for your visa- bapak mahal RM664. Then, you will have to do your biometrics which involves putting your hands on the scanner and having your photograph taken. You can check your visa status online using the reference number stated in your receipt. Visa is usually ready for collection in 5 days. Ok thats it..please dont yawn..
useful info here ;)

When i was scanning all of my fingers the lady had to tell me to PRESS HARDER for about 4 times. I cant because my fingers are not straight especially the pinky finger. The lady said 'ok, use your other hand to press your fingers, press really hard!' There is only one person so far who has short fingers like me but hers is not so senget. huhu...nevermind, at least I have all 5 on each hand.

Its already the 8th day of puasa. Gandakan pahala di bulan Ramadhan dengan berselawat dan membaca ayat-ayat suci Al-Quran. :)

Between Lines

State Of Grace

Last Friday nite went out with mom and sis to have a buffet dinner at Concorde Hotel, dad couldn't make it cause he had a meeting that nite. It was 3 days before Ramadhan so we wanted to eat nice foooddd

The appetizer. Yummy! There were others like oyster eww...why would anyone eat that..


Just a random picture with my sister. I only managed to take one pic of the food coz was too busy eating. The grilled selection was the best.


Nadz = Satay, how ironic ;) After indulging in all kinds of food, I headed to the dessert area to take ice kacang and the apricots/strawberries dipped in chocolate - there was a chocolate fondue. There were other weird looking desserts which were too decorative I found it annoying.

Hehe. Rongak! Decided to play around with the excess chocolate on my plate. I know its gross but its kinda funny rite ;) If its disgusting, i'll take it down. Towards the end of the buffet Papa arrived and joined us but he just ordered a cup of coffee since he has eaten already.

Before leaving, I saw this pondok-inspired arch at the main entrance which says 'Citra Ramadhan' . I just had to take a pic. The pondok stretched out to the sides which is not visible here. It was actually kinda huge. After this, we headed home in two seperate cars.

Hey, hope I dont look sick anymore *winks*
