Insomnia talks...

it's been busy...now it is less busy,

Alhamdulillah my thesis writing was completed. that's the mother of all headache. it's done. yipee! though we got mixed review from our supervisor, i can only hope that we would be confident and knowledgeable enough to fight off all the queries during the research presentation.

to celebrate our freedom, we indulge ourselves with dinner at wang solo ayam penyet and new brand of frozen yogurt in town - Snoggurt. yummy.

yummy. this is mango+chocolate yogurt. it gives of sour and sweet combination. taste just about the same as Tutti Fruiti. A+ for the interior decoration of the shop. comel sgt!

me with sleep deprived face. just look at those eye bags. aiyoo..anyway, they have this section with sofa that looks like a bed- I guess, don't exactly know how to describe it one thing for sure, it was very cozy.

 It was a huge relief when the presentation was postpone caused i'm not in my best state right now. Insomnia had kicked in. Insomnia was history... unfortunately, history was doomed to be repeated.  It's been a week, being an owl. I only slept after 7 am. my ability to focus plummeted. Basically, any information that I gain goes to my short term memory 'inbox'. That is not a good sign. Especially when final exam is coming.

Staying up is not good. it alters your metabolism- you'll tend to eat more ergo, easily to gain weight; it messes with your ability to focus on daytime and worst of all, you'll end up having eye bag with 'panda' eye effect.

So what I did during those wee hours..?

baucer buku

assalamualaikum...

Giving rm200 to a shopaholic is like giving an ice cream to a child. Yummy! Sekali harung je habis. Nak lagi shopping buku..tanpa keluar duit sendiri. waaa...shopping and books. two things that I love the most! That's equivalent to having Haagen Dasz ice cream! double happiness!! terima kasih baucer buku! you made my day!

oh yeah, after almost 4 years in KL, this is the first time I explore KLCC. Been there before but it was just like a trip to the foodcourt, masa trip APNSC dulu. sedih je kan?!

kinokuniya KLCC...besar giler. rasa nak camping je dalam ni!

the shopper =) shopaholic mana boleh shopping satu beg je. haish~~

Hasil tangkapan...

Critical Care Nursing : sebab frust x dapat ambik elective critical. hehe. x la, memang bajet hundred untuk buku nursing.

Jodi Picoult : Cari House Rules tapi dah habis cetakan. sedih je, dari ipoh sampai KL cari x jumpe. last2 jumpa yang ni, The Pact, macam best je.


Personality plus : buku psikologi untuk kenal pasti personaliti. kenapa beli? entah, tersampuk dengan aura mental health elective sem lepas kot. baru selak2. best!


Singapore Ghost stories : Mak mesti da agak aku beli buku ni. Kat rumah dah boleh buat collection. mak pun suka baca. like mother like daughther.


stationaries: huh? dua ketul buku dengan 3 batang pen je?? buat cukup syarat. yang ni x payah tunggu baucer, bila2 masa pun boleh beli.

mesti korang rasa huh? semua ni RM200 ke. Actually it's rm204. Over bajet jugak. sikit giler! pen pun 3 batang je. I bet others got 3 times, more items than I do.but I'm glad that I shop according to what I planned.

Haa..bahagia nye dapat shopping!

almost ending

assalamualaikum....

and there goes the last paper....

some went back straight away, others go jogging, watch movies..

saffa and I chose to pamper our stomach at Pak Hailam's kopitiam @ Tesco Cheras

my share...

itadakimas~~

three layer tea

 and

fried mee hoon with curry chicken

comment: Just OK and a bit pricey...Saffa's choice of asam laksa taste yummy though..




compare to this biscuits...

it only cost 46 pence in UK, about RM2.50....look how much money they're making here...
possibly the hassle of importing drove them to sell it for this price..

this used to sum up breakfast, lunch and dinner most of the days in the previous 2 months....

yeah, I am definitely putting on weight here..

to shop or not to shop....

assalamualaikum..


Shopping for UK posting. yay! I love shopping!
Then, the excitement just died, vanished.......... winter clothing are expensive!
I surveyed Universal Traveler for thermal wear and let out a long sigh looking at its price.....  RM199.00.

                                        "It's the one with highest quality", said the salesperson.
 
I stood there, thinking.............

my heart screamed ' just take it!!!!'
but my mind reason out  'looks like quality isn't my priority now'

So I thanked the salesperson and left the store as I glanced over their beautifully made collections of winter coats.

Ok...there's no need to be sad. I can continue my shopping in UK....hopefully!! I heard that things are much affordable there. As for now, maybe I should just shop a thing or two that I can afford.  Now let see what i already have....


Winter's ears cover... 

a gift from my sister. 

A pair of hand glove from Sox World....

ok two pairs, I was planning to buy everything in black but the one in purple shades are SOOO tempting..

.

 Winter scarf...
100% Wool...and hand made.

It took me almost 3 weeks to finish this....after undoing and redoing it for 3 or 4 times..I haven't done this for quiet some time...

and a Winter Coat....
from F.O.S in Mid Valley..

It's warm enough, but i don't no if it'll feel the same over there.  

Things that I don't have:
1. A comfortable pairs of socks.
2. sweatshirts (maybe...)
3. A pair of nice, comfortable boots (might buy it over there)
4. Medications
   - PCM for anticipated fever, headache
   - mist spray to prevent nasal bleed
   - antihistamine for allergic rhinitis.
   - lip balm
4. Food supply
5. Travel insurance

There's just a lot to squeeze in my tight budget. Huuu....its time to shop well!

We Will Be the 40th!!

assalamualaikum...

I got up early today just for the sake of UKM's-39th Convocation Ceremony. I'm not graduating today. My turn will be next year perhaps..Insyallah. I was there today to meet up with seniors of course and to avenge last year regret of not having enough time to explore tapak pesta. haha, we reached UKM Bangi around 8.30 am and were greeted by empty stalls. Turns out that we were too early. Only those who were involves in clinical booth were seen scurrying here and there.


But fair enough, being early means that we are free to do as we like. We got all the time in the world to scan every booth and watched martial art demonstrations. There were silat, silambam, aikido and tae-kwan-do I think. there were also Upin Ipin mascot, who came to enlighten the children from colouring contest.

Upin & Ipin!!!

Later in the afternoon, we met up with Gervanne and Sun in Dewan Gemilang and set our journey to DECTAR. I called it journey because we walk all the way from Dewan Gemilang to Dectar. It was like reliving the time we had during orientation week in Bangi almost 3 years ago. yeah, it was tiring!

taking a break...
standing: Faez and me
front row; from left: Gervanne, Dayana, Su Ai, Dilla, Paan
notes: we are senior STUDENT... NOT senior CITIZEN!

We finally reached DECTAR with my feet blistering. OUCH... Sadly, we haven't cross path with most of our graduating seniors. huhu, everyone was everywhere, and so we station ourselves somewhere in front of DECTAR...hoping to see any of them. After much time waiting, we only met few of them.

with Kak Tay...

we were bathing under the hot sun while waiting for our bus back to PPUKM. everyone was drained out of energy. oh yes, we waited for almost an hour by the street, to catch up our ride! we had fun, and we had sunburn too~~

Next year will be our turn to donned the robe, walk up the stage, and received the scroll as the symbol of four years of joy and pain together. I couldn't possibly imagine what it will feel like, but one thing for sure, I'll definitely shed tears. Until that time, may we all be strong to face another year ahead..

with Sun..the junior..

free food is a blessing for empty stomach =)

assalamualaikum.

I was blessed with back to back 'jamuan raya' this week. Department of Nursing's on Monday and PPUKM on Tuesday. yippee, since i was kind of broke (JPA forgot our allowance maybe...) free food is something worth to be cherish!

decorations...

like always, every batch contributes performance. this is our department's tradition i suppose. so, this time around, we chose to do pantun and singing. the theme was Merdeka Raya and so does our performance. we only rehearse a day before and phew, we did quite good. Me and Dilla was told to sing the solo part for Satu Malaysia song. I think my voice was shaking and  only interact with the floor <------what a bad performer I was! Dilla was good all the way, so does the rest of us!

the 'pantun' trio

the 'singing division'

most of us went missing after the performance so there's not much picture taken. this would be our last time celebrating Hari Raya together...sob..sob~~~

angry birds

assalamualaikum...

and a stressed player..
credits

been playing ANGRY BIRDS for the past few days..seriously addicted!
have you played it? or heard about it? what is it all about??

basically, this game, as the name imply, is about a community 'or should i say flock?' of birds fighting against a kingdom of swine, in order to free their village. how to play? in every staged, different birds will be used to battle the enemy, your job is to take your aim and shoot off the birds towards the enemy. well it's not that simple, the swine troops will shield themselves in different structures or building. the hints on helping these poor birds lies in your understanding on a building structures and identifying a good angle and position before you shoot off those birds.

each different birds have their own specialties, so explore it yourself!!

BEWARE!! THIS GAME CAN CAUSE ADDICTION AND HIGH LEVEL OF STRESS...

bila otak perlu glucose lebih..

assalamualaikum...



huu, mmg rase nak bakor je..nak bakor..nak bakor!!
sem ini sangat gila, writing assignment, program, seminar, posting, writing case, present case..arghhh!!! ape kes??? masa pulak berlalu dengan pantas, tau2 jer lagi 3,4 minggu nak exam..assignment yang pending beratur berderet2 lagi...memang tension, rasa nak give up, rasa macam dunia tak adil, rasa nak..huuuuu...............

mengucap~~~

sebelum aku jadi calon wad PSY, baik aku lastik jauh-jauh dulu perkataan STRESS itu pergi dari aku. antara kaedah yang boleh digunapakai :::::



 MAKAN



first stop, majlis makan malam sempena program khidmat masyarakat dekat trolak anjuran KTHO bangi. tepat of course la kat ukm bangi, dekat rumah felo. walaupun tak ramai yang datang tapi makan tetap makan. siap ade wayang pacak lg..


















makanan home cook oleh pihak KTHO. kami yang datang jauh-jauh ni hanya sempat beratur ambik makanan, duduk bersila, bace bismillah, NGAP....huhu, maaf la tak dapek nak nolong...bukan tu jer, kat luar ade makanan BBQ, ikan, ayam semua ade...

wayang pacak...layar ngan LCD je sebenarnye..

yang terpacak sambil tengok wayang pacak..cerita Hantu Kak Limah Balik Rumah..watched for the third time but still gelak pecah perut...haish~~

hah, yang ni aktiviti budak2 sekuliah, sekelas, seposting, (se ape lagi..???) mmg suke sangat2!!. jadi rombongan cik kiah yang membawa pelajar-pelajar stress ni pun akhirnya tiba di sebuah restoran steamboat kat area Sunway. restoran Flaming.....

sebelum makan ukur ketebalan pipi dulu, periksa kapasiti makanan yang boleh disuap dalam satu masa..

calon-calon untuk ditelan...
ikut arah jam dari atas: makanan buffet (nasi goreng, kueyteow goreng ayam goreng dll), yong taufu, pilihan makanan steamboat (no seafood for me), makanan yang sudah naik 'steamboat', ais kacang buat sendiri dan aiskrim mocha buat sendiri

hah! memang 'flamming' betul, sampai berasap2 muka dibuatnya....
p/s:...yang asap2 tu effect daripada periuk steamboat..bukan sebab orang sebelah aku yang berasap sebab fikir assignment tak siap...

classmates...seHati sePerut~~

siapa2 yang teringin nak makan atau nak tahu lebih pasal  restoran Flamming ni, bley la klik kat sini. i'm not fond to steamboat concept of eating because most of the menu spells SEAFOOD and i don't like them because they are mean. they will cause unbearable itchiness to my skin and eyes, low grade fever, and worst of all, my nose will end up like a running tap which is very irritating!! and yes, i had just recovered from this allergic attack (thanks to cafe MY workers who fail to understand what 'no seafood' means... ). but anyway, it's worth to try..



  lastttttttt sekali..









siapa2 yang suka minum kopi. nak bagi tahu korang, kopi kat McD sangat seDAPP!!! yup, new addiction, premium roast coffee. walaupun rasa ketinggalan zaman tapi nak cakap jugak! definitely a must in breakfast set at McD. haha, macam la aku selalu breakfast kat McD tu hah....kat 'McYong' ade la...
