Back in Manchester

that post down there. yup, thats an old one, written like a week ago.

now i'm back in Manchester.

not happy. =(

i miss home already!! i miss my family and friends. thats why i hate going back during holidays. i get really really attached to everyone at home. and their absence now makes me feel like crap.

hehehe. there you go Maliq. an emo post just like yours. and yours too, Batch and Nina. hahaha.

okayhh.. i'm gonna skip the emo part. maybe it's just the exam stress. 2nd year modules are hell a lot more tougher than 1st year's. in a way, i'm struggling. and my hopes and dreams to get 1st class again... well lets just say.. going down the drain... been working my butt off night and day, but too many stuff to revise. i'm just gonna continue working hard til 28th jan, then when i finish my last paper i will go crazy in London okay?

anyways, Manchester is still Manchester. i'm glad that when i came back it wasn't effin cold like i expected. it was 2 degrees, but i didn't shiver. hehehe. so used to English weather, innit?

then till now, i haven't left my cosy little flat coz i'm just too lazy to go out and walk in the gloomy weather. it's not sunny here. it looks like a dead town. the snow on the ground has melted today. thank God. that's a sign of spring is coming early. or atleast, that's what i'm hoping for.

i haven't been able to say this. Maliq Fariz, thanks so much for your effort to keep on going to Shah Alam and meet me during the holiday. aku tau konye BGF ni bangang takleh bawak kete, so kena depend kat ko. and i'm so grateful for that! terharu tak? hehehe. and Aliah, mati2 ingat tak dapat jumpa awk holiday ni, tp nasib baik hari kite nak balik tu dpt jumpa awk. and we had a blast, MEROYAN KAT MUSIC BOX. hehehe. rindu gle sume bdak2 Subang. Nina and Sudu nak balik Malaysia daaaaa.. benci. kenapa korang blk Malaysia ble aku takde? stresssssssssssssssss.... takpe laa. jumpa bln Jun nanti.

anyways, my scheduled flight to Malaysia is currently on the 30th June. i decided on that date like months ago due to some reasons (ingat nak keje kat Manc but i've got my hands full now) and obviously orang tak nak bg keje utk sebulan je kan. ye laa.. my exam finishes on 9th june. so i only have 3 weeks to work, if i want to. no such thing right? unless if i get a job now, which i will never be able to, seeing how busy i am. sooooooooo... i told my mom to change my flight to an earlier date. hopefully ada tempat. and hopefully dapat balik 2 weeks earlier than 30th June. =) we'll see.

and hello hello to the new fat me. ok maybe not fat. but that's what my family has been calling me. they forbid me to gain anymore weight. yes, i'm currently 55 or 56 kg (according to my weighing scale at home). heheheh. and to them, it's very obvious that i've gained. ok. maybe i have gained a bit, here n there, but really not obese yet okay. i think 60 kg is the ideal weight for me. =) maybe i should just lose some on the tummy. sometimes it's annoying how fats don't distribute evenly throughout our body. *sigh*

i'm off to my notes again. boring.

2010

sorry i've been neglecting my blog.

pretty much busy with studies lately.

and sometimes, go out with family and friends. with friends, not as often as we did during the summer. i miss you guys. Maliq and Azzy, thanks for the great, FUN Wednesday. =)

i love being at home.

back in Manchester, the weather is horrible. worst winter ever, they said. so i'm not looking forward to go back.

yes, it's been 3 weeks since i was back from UK. and in 5 more days i will be going back to Manchester. back to the hectic life. maybe more drama to come. who knows? i hate drama. so drama, stay out of my life! AND FUCKING EXAMS. I HAVE 5 FRIGGIN PAPERS. ARGHHHHHHHH... been working my ass

other than studies, been working for MSSM through emails with my committee. it's been hectic, trying to coordinate everything. but somehow, i find it fun.

we have finally decided to have MANCHESTER GAMES 2010 on 27th February.

unfortunately our event will clash with Imperial malaysian night, warwick malaysian night and Sheffield games. it's crazy. but we can't do anything coz that's the only date our sports centre will be free. Sorry to Imperial, Warwick, Sheffield MSocs. guess all four events will lose a fair share of participants/audience.

on a different note, i think Malaysians are going insane. i just don't get them. still living under some craphole or cave? i don't know, you choose.

December pics not uploaded on Facebook!!!

Batch!!!!

This post is dedicated to someone special. someone who has been a great friend to me for 11 years. Nur Basirah Burhanuddin. my dear, you left SJ! although it won't make much of a difference for me who is most of the time in UK, but i really do feel you being further away. =( it shouldn't be like that ok. we're gonna stay in touch. and when i come back in July, we have to meet up once in a while. it won't be easy but i don't wanna lose contact with you!! hope you will enjoy staying in JB. but don't forget, that you're an SJian at heart. i love you. i miss you.

20/12/2009

Parents from both sides - my parents wearing green, Haimi's parents wearing blue

My sister and her hubby-to-be

My family + bro in law to be

after almost 9 years together, my sister and her bf decided to take a step forward - got engaged. yayyyyyy! everyone's been asking me, how the f can they stay together for so long? tak bosan ke? omg. to be honest, i've no idea. i myself have never been in a relationship longer than 8 months. so to the crazy in love couple, i salute you!

the engagement ceremony on 20th December 2009 was taken place at my house. ok people. my family may not look so Melayu, but in this case, we really did follow our Malay culture. it was a formal ceremony, not like those orang putih - go to a romantic dinner and pop the question. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! heheheh. just joking.

anyways, started off with my close relatives gather at my house. at 11.30am, my family greeted Haimi's family, who came with 5 dulang hantaran for my sister. for my bro in law, we prepared 7 dulang hantaran. my family and Haimi's family gathered at the living room and my dad introduced his family and so did Haimi's dad.basically, it was a formal discussion about the engagement, wedding dates etc... i couldn't really hear them. takpe laa. malas nak dgr org tua2 cakap. =P

after the discussion finished, Haimi's mom slipped the engagement ring onto Ratih's finger. wheeheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! and then, the moment everyone waited for, FOOD! oohhh.. wedding will be in July!!! for their akad nikah (will be at my house), i can invite as many friends as i want to hehehhehhe. ok maybe limit laa. i only wanna ajak the close ones. reception - can only invite 10 of my friends.

and then the pressure. my relatives were asking the younger sisters, Dian and I.. "bila turn awak pulak?" ok very annoyed!!! i'm only 20!! i know Ratih and Haimi have been together since they were 16, but can't compare with me. i'm a totally different person here. jodoh tu klau ada, ada la. klau takde, tak kuasa aku nak mencari!!

ok but if by 27 (was planning 30 but my friends said da lambat sgt - true) i'm still single, shall ask my mom to find one for me. okies? =)

Final Week of the Term

December has been so hectic for me. just when i thought i'd be free this week, oh no no.. Annis.. u might wanna change your mind about that.

let's start off with last Friday.

FROST PARTY was awesome. atleast i enjoyed myself. and i had such a great group of friends who went together with me. music was awesome. it wasn't too crowded. there was a bit of drama and i was pissed off initially, but eventually i had an amazing time. my committee members went home early, like 2am. i was like why??? and they said it was boring. it's ok la you know. my friends and i stayed til 3ish. then after we left, we went for takeaway and lepak at Sani's house. went back at 5.30 am. was totally tired.

Saturday.

UKEC regional meeting at 1 am. got up at 12. showered. went to Krobar to get latte and cake for brunch. meeting finished at 4. then had to shop for Icebreaker. dinner with Karina. then at 7ish pm, finally went home and chilled whilst watching X Factor.

Sunday.

MSSM Ice breaker. 40ish ppl came (we expected 80). it started off quite slow coz we all know how Malaysians are. but in the end of the day, it was a success indeed. thank you committee members! after ice breaker, final meeting before we broke up for Xmas. and i forgot bout Laura's birthday. not happy with myself.

my weekdays were supposed to be relaxing. but no. things came up.MSSM stuff. urgent meeting. and i still have my friends whom i need to attend to. was happy to meet Jaja and her family!! they came to Manchester to meet me =) =) love u, Ja!

i shall settle all the shit that i need to settle before i fly off tomorrow! flight's at 8pm! yay! =)

can't wait to see my little munchkin Molly! and my sister's engagement on Sunday! omg.

IT'S FUCKING SNOWING OUTSIDE!!!! how shit can it be?

you know what, my life may be hectic and all, but i love every single shit of it. yes, i may whine a bit about it. who doesn't? yes, people may say you can avoid this if you didn't run for the post. no. i wanted this post. i chose this and i expected this hecticness. so don't worry about me. i still have time for myself. i even stayed up til 6am last night bitching and gossiping with Nadia. =D

i love how my life is. the rush of adrenaline. the stress. the brainstorming. the team work. the satisfaction. the determination. the hardwork. the appreciation.

*LOVES*

A week from now!

omg. i can't believe that i'm going back to Malaysia in a week's time. and my sister is getting engaged like the day after i arrive. hishh.. da laa arrive on 19th at night kan. aiyoyo. but anyways, i'm sure there ain't any last minute preparations for the engagement ceremony.

i have been really busy these past few days, trying to juggle my studies, duty as VP and social life. i'm pretty impressed with myself seeing the way i am able to handle them, so far. of course, very tiring but hey, i wanted the post so much and now that i got it, i'm definitely gonna work my ass to show that i'm as capable as what i said during my speech. taknak nanti orang kata, buat janji kosong je, kerja tak jalan pon.

in terms of study, i had to put in extra effort. i had to put aside other distractions and even a short time of studying matters. just have to know when to stop being distracted by the internet. and yes, i'm studying on daily basis now to prepare for my January exams. i will be having 5 papers and being a bit kiasu, i do really wanna get 1st class for my 2nd year.

i had so much going on this week. meetings in 3 consecutive days, singaporean society's AGM, events plannings, and last night went clubbing for Laura's birthday. tonight, Frost party by MUCSS, tomorrow shopping for ice breaker, and on Sunday MSSM Ice breaker. next week, further planning for Manchester Games and Malaysian Night and other events. we might be having a ball in summer. woop woop!

btw people, please mark these dates on your calendar!

Manchester Games: Saturday, 20th February 2010

Malaysian Night : Saturday, 17th April 2010

these are the dates decided by the committee, after weighing out the pros and cons. both events need support from Malaysians all over UK! and for Malaysian Night, we need u Manchester Malaysians! =)
