Cars

Talking about dream cars, as a girl, I only look into sleek design, attractive colors and elegance? What do I know about engines? Naught. I shall learn :) HAVE TO!

So here I am day by day imagining myself cruising with different cars in different dreams :P My short term plan is to use a small,fuel-friendly car during my first job and get a proper, nice car afterwards (IFFFF I've had enough savings from then on) coz all the mouth-watering cars are above 100k =.= Why oh why?

Come on, I just want that tiny Volkswagen Polo and it would cost freaking 113K?! It costs much cheaper in the UK! Government taxes are strangling car buyers before our own eyes. Isk2. We're talking about small cars here, not yet my REAL dream cars like BMW and Audi, I can only dream on at this point. Even when I aged, I doubt that I'll be able to buy one of those but resume to eating my colorful multivitamins.

Good sign

Allah has answered my du'a! Alhamdulillah :) Now I feel terribly guilty for complaining too much and almost gave up.. How silly of me. At least now there's one good sign, I hope more to come! Thank you Allah :)

Here's a good picture as a note: Basically we won't get everything that we asked for, for some really good reasons. Allah knows best..

I want to feel awesome, so FEEL IT

I HATE talking about LOVE coz it hurts. It's sweet when everything is smooth and fine but my lord it's friggin bitter when it goes downhill and not worth it at all. It's even more painful when you got no one to talk to..and I sound like a poor kitty cat who got no one to turn to *patting my own back* :P

When there's no one to make you feel better, you yourself make it better! As someone always says it to me 'it's all in the mind', so we're capable of mastering our feelings and be positive..

I have to admit - the words above are awesome, and I feel slightly better after jotting this entry down.

Today I'm gonna feel AWESOME!

Cake boss and auntie's anniversary

"Cake Boss" is a reality show where Buddy the bakery owner produces extra-ordinary cakes (custom made) upon customers' requests. Cakes delivered out of their door are simply magnificent, due to the number of experts they have so the workmanship is superb! Sorry, many adjectives are used here :P

What I'm trying to say is, Cake Boss is currently MY FAVORITE SHOW of all :) I get all fidgety when the show is on. It definitely takes a good number of years to get hold of the techniques and most importantly, to be an expert on cakes. Alright, so today is my uncle and untie's 20th anniversary..and due to my obsession with Cake Boss, of course what else could come to my mind as a gift to them? CAKE!

Since they love carrot cake, I'm gonna give it a shot coz I've never tried baking carrot cake before. Andddd...since I want to taste it myself, I gotta make another cake! hehe. yup, 2 cakes in the houseeee. Just so mom wont feel bad that I'm making cake for auntie this time and not for her birthday last time, I make it up to her by saying that I made this justtt for her (without mentioning my initial intention) :P hehe.

The making of carrot cake!

The one for mom - that's gonna be mineeee.

For the lovely couple :) May their marriage be continually blessed by Allah swt. I love them both like my own dad and mom <3

Okay, so my cakes may look less appetizing than the cake boss's. You know why? You know why? Because I didn't photoshop the pictures! Like seriously..they'll look much better with editing :P

Tudung

When I got back here, I felt quite lost in tudung arena. The quick change of tudung's trend is incredible, one style after another and I just couldn't cope..and couldn't care less!

To be honest, it's too much for 'modesty' that was taught by Islam. Commenting and critisizing on this issue won't make me look any better, but only to commit unintended sins:p So I wish not to come across anyone with 'extra-ordinary' tudung - or people call it nowadays as scarflets? and hijabistas? coz if I do, I can't promise that my heart won't start commenting on the marvelous style..hehe.

And I'm afraid I'll be one of them, but hopefully not! In my opinion, it's encouraged to dress prettily, presentable, clean and neat, but there's no need to be too extreme and build a huge mountain on your head with trees, flowers, grass growing on it.

Kuat pulak aku memberi comment..isk2..

Some pics I googled: The last pic is one of a kind! but don't think that's a tudung after all.

Class of 2011

Looking back at these pictures makes me sad. Although those times was tough, it definitely taught me something about friendship, perseverance, patience, faith, strength, yada yada yada. I'm lucky to be able to study at this uni and to have met these people :) Alhamdulillah.

Presenting : Class of 2011, MRes and MSc of Biosciences, University of Bath.

For my own note, in case if I forgot (eventually). Back row from left: Richard Hooley, Yueshi Li, Stavros Gkavalias, Chris Isherwood, Andy Saxon, Heather Byne, William Lewis, Joseph Robinson :D , Dr. Alan Wheals.

Front row from the left : Lucy (Chang Liu), Jane Li, Smile Zhang, Svetlana Semykina, Hannah Brunsdon, Fariza Zainul, Tulay Gulsen, Katja Papadopuolos, Yuan Yuan, Momna.

Mawlay!

This is for me, the best version of Mawlay Very calming :) If only I could talk and understand Arabic.

Frustrated with the WORLD!

Muslims are being trampled in most part of the worlds, the middle east crisis has been going on for almost a year since Egypt, and now we have the on going war in Syria. Why are the other rich Muslim countries remain silent? Political reason behind it would be, we don't wanna spark a war between other gigantic countries and initiate world war 3. I can't accept the fact that we are only witnessing the man slaughter without doing anything, except for donations and prayers. Why not send in some troops to help and protect the Syrians? Is it too extreme? If I were not mistaken, Tun Dr. Mahathir did send troops to help Bosnia during its war.

We are puppets. Watching the man slaughtering in Syria makes me wanna go there and fight, and be with my sisters and brothers at their lowest point. But then again, it remains as just talk talk talk..words..but no action!

Teaser

A teaser vid to my sister's wedding.

I admit that I've been teasing her a lot lately and she's turning insane :p I had just started calling her 'Kak Nor' and it drives her mad, while mom is getting headache as we cant stop quarreling. Hehe

The video is lovely, with the blurry effects on pengantin's face suggesting that 'more is coming up'! Comels. I think I'll be calling these guys to film for my wedding...hah hah, yes I can dream :)

Another Wedding

That's right, another couple had just been solemnized, and it's no other but my very own sister, the one and only. Alhamdulillah everything went so well until I was knackered chatting away the whole day with every single guest! A lot of hand shakes(salam), hugs and kisses with families, relatives and neighbours leaving us feeling blessed with their presence and help :) Only Allah can repay their kindness..

I pray that sis and brother-in-law will have a lovely marriage and always blessed by the Almighty inshaAllah.

I got a bro-in-law y'alllll :D a new addition to the family!

Poor politics

Politics is totally not my thing despite knowing that I should actually give a damn. I'd be lying if I were to say I couldn't care less coz my future is also on gamble. But honestly, Malaysian government is way too corrupted, putting aside huge money loss by the ungrateful culprit, look at our police officers alone who had already lost our trust and respects. I'm one of those who do not look upon the polices and honestly disgusted by their attitudes towards helpless people! Just because you have the power, you don't simply stop people and ask for money without issuing valid ticket! That's the simplest corruption that has been going on and it seems that every Malaysian is aware of it, worse,I can't imagine what the big shots (whose with massive scale of corruption)are doing with people's money. Malaysian image has been tarnished, nobody respects the leaders anymore, nobody respects the police(isn't it sad?)

I don't want to think what's happening to Malaysia soon, I can somehow predict, but...hmm. Let's pray for the best.

p/s: I'm not saying all polices are bad, I believe some of them are fully dedicated with the job. Biasa lah, kerana nila setitik, rosak susu sebelanga!
