Change Euro to Bahrain Dinar (Was it EU10 or EU20, takingat...)

Sunset at Bahrain. This is taken from the area where we stayed. We were taking the next flight out to London at 0100 HRS Bahrain time. So, we get to enjoy a little bit of the city while waiting for free dinner at the hotel :)

One of our first trip on the long and high escalators Underground. Mizan may not like this... Hehe

There, us almost immediately when we saw the London eye. The weather greeted us so well. It was warm and windy (I like). After we arrived, we waited a little bit at the airport for our host, Rozie. Nicest kid in town! Hehe... We went back to drop our heavy and big bags, get ready and headed out back to explore London. Tak-menyempat!

Zukry was always with the bigger camera, my dad's. Snapping pictures all over the city. Didn't care much of who, what, when to capture... just snap, snap, snap! We worried a little too much on not getting enough memories to look at the first few hours of this little trip...


In front of Westminster Abbey, thank God for Firdaus. He took care of us after Rozi left for her lab.

This was in front of the Buckingham Palace. Takdapat nak appreciate sangat, even though I already what it looks like - it didn't seem to have marvel me. Maybe the inside can... :)

Trafalgar Square where the England and Mexico supporters gather to show their support to their respective teams for the friendly game that night. Tapi England supporters, ada lah 5 kerat kat belakang tu. Huhu...

and to end the day, i just had to call my cousin all the way from Brunel Uni; to simply meet up and have dinner. Kena amek gambar sebagai prove to his mother. Amanah ni. Haha! He's in KL at my house now, (while rumah dia ada major renovation) enjoying his summer hols.

Tu dulu. sambung lagi nanti... :)

Teeny's Pregnant? - Not Yet

While Zukry is running his belly off, I'm at McDonald's Labuan. He sent me here at 6.30 in the morning and get to his Labuan Run, he participated. I know I should be there cheering for him, NO - I know i should be there running too, apekan daya; takterdaya! Takmahu seribu dalih - PERIOD.

One of the random thing i wish to put up last week, was the fact that I shouldn't be doing pregnancy test every 2 days after I knew my period was delayed last week. I was anxious and just could wait to find out. We are currently trying, as we decided the distance is not stopping us for this anymore. There's no urgency / pressure of getting one little baby but an addition to the already big family is one that many is waiting for too... but yeah, we think that we are ready for a baby.

So last week, was the missed period week. my anxiety made me a calculative bi*ch. I was marking calendars, visiting the due date calendar at many different sites, reading up and down of the first 2 chapters "What to Expect When You're Expecting" --- basically I was like ex-Mrs Shuester. Like literally... like the doctor in Glee said, "... you want a baby so bad that your body mimics the symptoms..." I started feeling all the symptoms (kononnya lah but actually it's more of my body is making all the symptoms significant) When all of that were just telling me that period is coming, do you know that it's almost the same...?

Anyway, i'm glad that I have my period. Because that means I'm ovulating still :) Boleh ke cakap camtu kat sini. Ah, who reads this anyway? setakat Ika, KakLong and Maktam tu - boleh diterima lagi... Heheh. How are you girls? I miss KL - This is my 1 month away from KL. From Mak, annoying but well-loved siblings, cousins and the circus at Lot 3026! :)

So, while waiting for Zukry; I've decided to put up an entry exclusively for the UK/France trip. Ah i miss London & the ever-romantic Paris...

A new meaning of Lepak at LBU

Zukry cakap over breakfast and internet surfing at McDonald's Labuan Airport "Lebih baik hidung tersumbat, daripada taik hidung terkeluar" --- Haha! That should be his status on FB, taksure if he put it on or not! He was saying that sebab his hidung tersumbat, and taik hidung he saw on mine! Grossy-gross! :)

Some random things:

1. I have to read MORE. Allocate sometime to read. Takperlu pn sebenarnya, just stop doing crappy stuffs. Jangan buang masa. Period. Penting utk tambah vocab yang sememangnya kurang giler, else i'd be writing giler best lagi bagus.
2. Rajinkan diri ke bank for ASB savings. The before plan for savings are no longer enough, misti mau upgrade! :) Semalam pakai tipu je orang bank tu bila dia tanya dah buat ASB loan ke belum. I belum, tapi jawab dah
3. Sila google Bandar Seri Saujana, daripada google plus size blogshop aje! :) Suruh Zukry google the same thing too! He's been on FB too much dah!
4. Sy mau CD original Yuna.
5. Zukry is smiling over Can I Help You - Riuh Pagi Era on the internet!

Ok tu dulu. Nanti I'll come back. InsyaAllah soon akan ada Streamyx at home!!! Whooohooo!

A Planned Surprise is not a Surprise

Hi all (Again)
I'm in KLIA alone (for yet another time) after a meeting in PETT today. It was a daily trip, so I was up from 4.20 AM today morning and only will arrive at home at around 11.45 PM. I think this is not healthy but many other things I did was unhealthy either. Haha! It was once in a quarter thing kot.

Anyway, while I am here - Zukry is in Miri right at this moment. Probably enjoying 'Knight and Day' at Bintang Plaza, killing time while waiting for me to arrive (insyaAllah safely) It was supposed to be our planned surprise thing - where he would just travel to accompany me in Miri - sesaje. Little that we know, my company had to send me to a meeting on the day that we planned. Since we get enough to justify I should attend & be a good employee, Zukry enjoyed his free time in Miri while I get to enjoy mine too here... despite the many action items waiting from the meeting itself. Huhu.

Oh, i just got start fasting again! My experience yesterday, fasting after so long (I think my last time was when I finished my puasa 6 last year!) was terrible. Headaches that was nearly unbearable. I was tired the whole day, dozed off in meetings, i just got to stop working and take a nap because I was just so ~ sigh... I just got to train my body to not eat too much! Ape nak jadik?

OKlah, it's almost 8. I got to board already. InsyaAllah, we want to try and get Maxis broadband this weekend. Sree, if you're reading this - I'm a little influenced by your recommendation! Hehehe... If Maxis get to solve my internet problem, I will write more in the near future. I want to update our Euro trip last month so much! :)

Wedding Weekend in KL

Hi all.
This was written on Sunday on my 'sophisticated' phone :)

I'm alone again at KLIA after a weekend with friends, family and husband. I am now waiting for the next flight to Miri to continue yet another week without husband. I think this is our more than 52 weeks NOT together. Haha! Seriously, I hate to have had weekdays of only phone calls, emails, chat, SMS, unsure of the meaning of each messages...

Anyway, this weekend was all about Tahirah's wedding actually. I bought ticket specially to attent it. Tahirah, if you're reading this - you're truly the star of the night! I still can't consume it was actually a garden wedding! Haha.

That's all of us. Great times!

If all have to know (which I don't think is necessary pun), I actually shopped for last night. Thought of buying a kurung/kebaya but ended up a little too casual with an expensive (yes, indeed) blouse and skirt that comes with a great twirl effect! :) Seb baik it was a garden wedding, at night - so I think I was not over or under dress...! But still, I could have put a little more effort and money to look and feel more glamourous.

Best part about last night besides seeing gorgeous Tahirah walking down the red carpet with Hadi was actually bonding and seeing my beloved SAB friends whom I treasured so much! Amy, a doctor and 8 months pregnant, Anis; a lecturer and 5 months pregnant, Za with her fiance whom I first met, Sajidah & Mawarni - my two favourite single ladies...! Great times, I thought we were still that goofy Puteri Islam girls we were back then in SAB... Hihi!

A lil bit of Sajidah (Zukry rabun malam babe, sorry) & with us and the pengantin

Had a little misunderstandings with dearest husband. I'm sorry about this Zukry..., but we were putting expectations and own ideas that we didn't share enough. Zukry was really supportive about me having a great time with my girlfriends when I thought all he could think about was the meet-up with his friends to watch Argentina beaten up by Germany like he planned. So, we went back at around 10.30 PM; instead of waiting a little longer like Tahirah has expected us to do - Shian dia...

Pasangan sedondon lagi bahagia - menanti perut diisi that little person rather than fat. Haha!

Anyway, the weekend felt shorter somehow. What with the maid runaway, the other wedding (KAM's) at Kajang and the sleep on the floor in the living room... Hihi. I miss Zukry already...

Jet Lag?

Dear Readers,

I'm back from that London/Paris/Manchester trip which BTW was awesome! I may have underestimated the whole plan, so I was really overwhelmed of how extremely fun the trip was, and that was GOOD... :)

Today, that second Monday after the trip - i feel a little better than the last, and ready to venture a new set of plan (because for the last six months, it has always been about the trip... hehehe) This half of 2010 will be about what? I guess you have to continue 'singgah' here, to know.

May in a Summary

Hi All :)

Very sorry for the lack of entry this month. I'm counting days for our little trip, and busily preparing ourselves. Yeah, right. Not so much! Haha. I want to blame the internet connection. Ever since we lost our Streamyx heaven in Lutong Baru, Senadin with it's poor Celcom reception; give me less motivation to write more. If you are in my head, you would know that I'd like to write as I have quite a number of stories, thoughts or simply wants to mumble. Hehehe...

Anyway, moving on... After the unfortunate incident - break-in last month; we took the house security business really seriously. We have all locked in, taped all curtains, just go nuts on securing the windows & doors. Miri Police has captured that culprit and he's a local from Lutong area! Apparently, he admitted the crime too. So, Izza was called to give her statement in court next week. All her stuffs were retrieved back with exception of the 2 phones. But they became barang siasatan, so takleh dapat balik. Kecuali keretalah...

Onto my sewing class. Have I mentioned that I attended sewing class? :) I have finished 2 baju kurungs, 1 that I have worn 2 times to the office! And the other was my first after so long, so it was not up to Miri office quality. Hihi... So that means, it sucks! :P Now, I'm currently finishing up my long blouse's cuff and hopefully I can finish it by today's class. I have also initiated another blouse that I did myself but I still got to refer to 'cikgu' as its collar is wrong and weird thus tak-lawa...

As for my most anticipated activity of 2010, I have 2 more days to work and this week starting last Monday, i just really can't contain the excitement!

J : Today is Wednesday, Tini

Me : Yes it is! Monday check, Tuesday check! Today is Wednesday...!

Agak gile dibuatnya, but I guess after the last trip abroad in 2006; I'm entitled to get this excited. And this time, I'll have my husband to accompany and to have everything on our own is something I should be proud of too. So, I'm travelling this Sunday 23rd May 2010~! Whooohoo...

It was not 13 working days. I calculated wrongly. Now only 5 working days!

Counting days. 5 working days! It shouldn't be that difficult, after all; I've waited for half a year already... :)

Monday - Only 13 More Working Days

I was at Hasfa's house for only one night afterall... :)

At the moment, I'm psych about having my things to do list slashed out. Well, on personal matters not on work matters. The later won't finish, Ever. Haha! I get to renew my passport today. Went up and down, in and out of the Jabatan Imigresen to copy things. First stop was to get my passport picture taken. I love how technology helps all my pimples go away in my picture. I'm flawless! :) Agak2 tertipu tak orang kastam kat London nnt? Haha!

Then after all that, I make a stop at Miri LHDN to pay off my dues. Well, not yet the paying off part, but at least I'm done with the e-filing thing! A big Yay... Hehehe... All the process with LHDN have been pretty easy thing to me. Everything went out smoothly, starting from getting my e-pin! I made a visit to their counter just to check my historical payment, which was actually none since I haven't paid off 2008 tax! Nasib baik sket je. Beli jeans pun tak lepas :)

I'm also set to visit Cinderella & all other Disney princesses at Disneyland Paris. We bought the ticket last Saturday! What a feeling, I have always wanted to go to Disneyland... I am still watching Disney channel every now and then. So it's pretty much something I just want to do when we decided to have this little trip :) Zukry had that "really?-we-have-to-go-there?" thought but heck, YES we are going!

May is just really nearing and I can't stop but to tick of the calendar every single day. Calculating days to go back to KL for the final preparation. Oh, this week - off to Tanah Semenanjung for a visit to my MIL in Perak. This time, we are driving. Arriving on Thursday night and lepak at Ampang - the next morning only, we driving off to Zukry's hometown. Jangan lupa bawak kain, kena start hantar kain for Raya...! :)

So toodles for now. Will write again soon.

A note to Apis, "I wish it is that simple" :)

At Home - Not Mine

Hi All :)

Not sure if that smiley is appropriate. It certainly does not reflect the way I'm feeling right now...

Well, first and foremost; I'm in Miri already. Just came back from a lovely weekend with dearest husband for his birthday... Nothing special per say, but seeing him after a week away is worth the time spent which was probably about 30 hours? Kan, Zukry? :)

Most of the time spend at home/restaurant. Rendezvous by the beach eating chicken wing & most of the time, Zukry was clicking away trying my dad's camera that we plan to bring along during our trip next month...

So, why the not-so-great feeling?

I'm now at Hasfa's house. Not that it's a bad thing! (Hasfa, Thank you for letting us squeezed in) It's just that we are still uncomfortable to go back to our house. Izza was not confident. I lost my confidence once I depart from Labuan - basically the security that Zukry brought to me whenever he's around lost to I-don't-know-where. So, we are back to the question onto whether we should move out from that house.

It's not that the house has its own negative vibe... Of course, after such incident (and when you don't know where the b*st**ds entered) we worried about the things that we are unable to justify. Looks like we have to scram in other people place first this week until we regain that confidence and security... I have to also list all the potential area and pro/cons on moving (again)

I have this dream of having my next move only BACK TO KUALA LUMPUR. Not to another house in Miri... I don't only hate the hassle, but that also will somehow an act of saying that I'm going to stay here for another year or two, which I don't like.

I'm tired and I can't sleep. Or I don't want to sleep? This is because of McD's coffee. Maybe... I miss dearest Zukry so much already. Can I be that ngengada? Hehe... Zukry misses me too, cuma dia dah selamat tido :)

Nite everyone. And help us figure out whether we should move or stay?
