Long Gone!

It's been almost 3 months since my last post. sorry guys, guess current life is keeping me way too busy til i have no time to think about updating my blog.

anyways, incase you didn't know, i'm back in my second home, Manchester. good to be back but at the same time uni life is driving me nuts. nuts as it may seem, i'm enjoying my life as well =)

where to start? well... before the start of uni term, my friends and i went for a short trip to Barcelona. i thought the city was amazing. sunshine. perfect weather. a total opposite of UK. spanish men and women. owh so pretty. cuci mata baek punya. anyways, stayed in a cosy little apartment that had 2 bedrooms and 1 sofa bed. just enough for the 5 of us - me, Aina, Diyana, Dan and Alvin. trip was too short for us to explore Barcelona. hope to visit again. coz sure was a sweet sweet memory. =D

then uni started. oh my. 9-5 pm every other day. i thought i was going mad. felt tired all the time but now i'm pretty much used to it. it's already the 9th week fyi. sooooo fast! but hey, i can't wait for Christmas break! ooh ooh breaking news. i've been studying ALMOST everyday now. pretty much proud of myself considering the past 2 years i chose to put other things e.g MSSM as top priority, hence the reason why i only managed to get a borderline 2nd upper class for my 2nd year. nevertheless, i was very much satisfied with my achievement. was actually expecting 2nd lower class, considering the 1 month before exam preparation. not impressed!

good news is i am slowly gaining back my quiet social life, thank God. MSSM is out of the way. as much as i love the freedom, my heart constantly aches for the sorely missed preparation of big events, the committee meetings and basically meeting new people. the annual general meeting was a week ago. and believe it or not, i cried when my president announced that the committee is dissolved. pardon me for the emotional ex vice president, but i think i had the best committee one can ever ask for.. and plus i'm gonna miss all the bitching and gossiping sessions we had everytime we had meetings. we pretty much compliment each other in the committee, and for that i am grateful. no dramas in the committee. mr ex pres Shang Neng sure did an amazing job in leading our committee. three cheers to you! my beautiful sweet girls - Shwu Wei, Fion, Jacqueline, Sue Jinn, Yee You, Lay Pin and Pearl - u girls are like sisters to me eventhough you enjoy calling me mummy. i love you. the boys - Gray, Syaz, Lucas and Tian Ji.. so few of you but we definitely bonded well. gonna miss the jokes and laughter with y'all. =)

and now i have quite a regular daily routine. wake up. shower. go to class. come back from class. nap. tv series. cook. eat. gossip session with Nadia or Dan or sometimes both of them, and sometimes Khairi will join in too. revise. sleep. then some days will go out with a couple of friends, just chill at a shisha cafe or dinner.

i like how it is now.

The apple of my eye

incase you haven't met these two little sweethearts, the one with the brown and white coat is Molly and the one with grey and white coat is Nemo. Molly belongs to my sis, Ratih and Nemo is Haimi's. Nemo just started to stay with us permanently and we have been bff ever since. Molly on the other hand is very bitchy to me, which is why she's constantly being bullied by me.

i love both equally but Nemo is the only one who can put up with me who likes to cuddle, kiss and hug cats. hehehhe.

2 weeks and i'm leaving them. this is heartbreaking =(

The Women

at times, your head feels like arghhh and men just keep giving you headache.

then this what you do.

call up a bunch of girlfriends.

and just have a proper girls night out.

no.

not clubbing.

just a 4-hour dinner.

just spill out the crap you're going through and

voila... problem solved!

me. aina. hayat. amenie.

four girls.

each has different problems.

all men related.

rather than crying over a spilled milk, we ended up laughing non stop.

sampai nak pecah perut.

fyi i don't hate men. but the things some of them do, it's pretty despicable.

but yeh women nowadays are equally disgusting.

hmm.. whatever.

people keep on asking why am i single.

ko ingat senang2 ke aku nak kutip laki tepi jalan.da la bkn senang nak dpt yg baik2.

after dinner with the girls, we made a conclusion.

as far as i'm concern, i'm no longer worried about not having a guy in my life.

coz i'm pretty much contented with what i have now.

the friends that i can laugh and cry with.

the howling laughters of us 4 girls. epic.

atap2 semua boleh tercabut. =)

3 weeks

been M.I.A.ing. truth is, not even bothered to open my blog til today.

summer has been incredibly relaxing.

too bad it will end in three weeks time. boohoo!

whatever it is, reality check. i'm a third year student now.

how time flies.

unlike the other third years,this won't be my final year. why?

coz Pharmacy is a four year course. hehehe. 2 more years and i will graduate.

Insya Allah.

i do wonder at times how life can fastforward without us realising.

and how people can change in a split second.

and how love can turn into hate.

and how friendship grows into a relationship.

just with a blink of the eye.

btw, it is fasting month. 12 more days to go. i love Ramadhan. really i do. everyone just seems so calm and patient during this month. lol. but i miss being able to eat a lot. now my appetite decreased and my only worry is that i will lose weight. thankfully, i'm still maintaining 57kg. wheeheee. i'm trying to reach 60kg. doubt it will happen with my hectic lifestyle in Manchester. no way.

i have started being busy with MSSM again. freshers are coming this September and cant wait!! preparation for freshers' week! events coming up. need to scout for potential successor. it's been a long way already. my committee and i are way too exhausted and we're just waiting mid November to step down. 1 year of taking up this responsibility has taught me enough.

3rd year will be all about focusing on studies. not gonna be a total geek, but hoping there will be a consistency in revision. i'd still wanna have fun every now and then. and lets hope for no drama involving me, shall we? i love watching other people's dramas, but not mine.

Too Relaxed!

it's been a while. i know. hehehe. eventhough i'm a bit too free nowadays, i wasn't bothered to update my blog. guess it's time.

last weekend was Ratih and Haimi's wedding reception at Tropicana. yay! this time, no kerja buruh thank you. all done by Haimi's family and friends.. so the rombongan pengantin perempuan just came as guests and we just needed to look pretty. yes! =)

so far i'm enjoying myself staying at home! i love eating, sleeping and watching tv. a recipe to turn obese but what the heck.. i wont get to do this when i'm back in Manchester. i go out with my friends at times... maybe 2-3 times a week. other times, just enjoy goin out with my mum and siblings!

anyways, due to the raging hormones i'm having for the past 2 years (since late 2008)... i've been getting quite serious breakouts.. ok not up to the point where i get huge acne all over my face. but still to me, quite severe coz two years ago i had friggin flawless skin! so i finally decided to go to dermatologist 2 weeks ago and she gave me this medicine called Roaccutane. sis Ratih took it before and now acne GONE! i've been taking the medicine for 2 weeks and yes... quite happy with the results! and skin becomes less oily and redness reduce. haisshh.. see being fair skin is not all good, people! breakouts are so obvious on me! but on people with darker skin.. so lucky! not obvious at all!

okies rant over. damnn.. 7 weeks has passed since i came home. 7 more weeks to go. =(

The Wedding

i had been waiting for years for my eldest sister Ratih to get married to her long time bf (now husband), Haimi. i regard Haimi as my bro in law since a few years ago, but now it's official.

Alhamdulillah.

it all went well.

on 8th July, Haimi and Ratih officially tied the knot. the akad nikah ceremony was held at my house.. with over 200 guests mainly the extended family, neighbours and close friends. the day before, my aunts (mom's sisters) came over to help with the packing. wedding is a family affair. and i think Haimi already knew from the beginning that he's not only married to Ratih, but also to the Hj Abdul Malik's extended family. owh yes. hehehe.

the ceremony went OK. of course, papa, being himself, very cranky and agitated but i expected that anyway. thankfully, both pa and Haimi had to "lafaz" only once. phew. but papa was really nervous and voice was so shaky. first time had to give his daughter away.

after that, the photography session was the highlight. mcm nak masuk majalah URTV kot. haishhh... oohh... and thank you to my KTJ friends - Aina, Hayat, Ibrahim, Aidy and Asyraf for coming. =) sorry was too busy tho. huhu.

on 10th July was the wedding reception at Hilton PJ. i thought i wouldn't have the energy to lead the usherers. but i did. think it was the dress i wore. i loved it. thanks pa and ma. hehehe. anyways, everything went OK except some mangkuk hayun guests brought extra people when they RSVPed only 2 people are coming. ok people. if you were to do such thing when the reception is at home, that's fine. but please, when you go to hotel reception, that's a no-no. with limited number of seats in the ballroom and the host allocated the seating, please do not pandai2 move tables or bring extra people. kesian orang lain. mangkuk btul.

anyways, whatever it is, i have to thank my cousins, aunties and uncles for doing the kerja buruh - ushering the guests. lol. and my fav people - my Subang friends. thank you for coming!! and i miss you already. -Shera, Al, Batch, Nina, Maliq and Azzy.

Syam, Jaja and Pia should have been there!! =(

Raja Diyana is the luckiest. both akad nikah and reception pon datang. ehhehe. nasib baik you jiran i jugak. lol.

as tiring/hectic this wedding may seem, i love it coz it was a family affair. hmm. more like the keluarga Malik affair. seriously.

here's to the couple who can stand each other for the past 9 years.

i really have no idea how you two did it. and now you have the rest of your life to quarrel! hahahha. fyi, niece/nephew a.s.a.p pls. cheh. ingat nak buat anak ni mcm nak memasak ke ape. anyways, i wish both of you a happy married life.

photos will be uploaded later. =)

KPJ Selangor Specialist Hospital

believe it or not, it has been 2 weeks every since i started my internship at this hospital..

damn i have learned a lot!! and best of all, the pharmacy staff there are awesome!

ok maybe not all of them. but most of them.

i get along with most of them.

one or two. hmm.. not so. dunno. maybe no chemistry. but whatevs.

my priority is to learn.

and not forgetting the other KPJ students doing their practical there.

very very close to them and it seems that at times we're the noisy ones in the pharmacy. luckily the senior staff there are cool.

as i have said before, as a pharmacist i have to memorise the names of hundreds and hundreds of medicines and their functions etc. damnnn... some of the famous ones i have already known. but a lot more others still need to be learned.

the pharmacy in general is really busy especially during the peak period. soooooo many patients. and and some patients have like 10-15 different medicines. what are you? drug addict or something?? haiyooo... but anyways, the busier it gets, the more experience i gain. so no complaints. only yesterday a customer told us that she/he wanted only 1 month supply of 10 diff medicines when i had already carefully finished prepare the 3 month supply as written on the prescription. i quietly cursed under my breath.

today, my 3 favourite Bujang lapoks - Asyraf, Aidy and Ibrahim came to visit me at the hospital, hoping to kidnap me to bring me to karaoke. lol. sorry boys. paid or not paid, staff or not, i'm very much dedicated to my work there. so i talked to them for like 5 minutes. it was annoying already. not the boys.. BUT THEM!! we were talking outside the pharmacy quietly and the hospital staff who passed by us were looking at us in a weird way. mostly the female staff. seriously. what is wrong with you people? 3 good friends of mine came to visit me and talk to me in an appropriate manner i.e no touching, kissing or whatsoever and you have to give me that sting eye. eff u. i don't shag my friends, fyi. i couldn't stand so i had to ask the boys to go home and i sent an apologetic sms saying that some of the staff were giving me a bitch face.

i think Malays should learn to stop staring at people. if you wanna stare at someone, please don't tell your entire group of colleagues/friends to look at that person. if so, tell your friends to not make it so obvious. it is disgusting. my friends and i made up a term for that - rogol mata. really. and those who are old enough to be my father, please know your boundaries!!! is it me not used to this environment? then i wanna make sure when i work i choose a multiracial hospital/city. KL maybe.hmm. or stay in Manchester??
