Nisa's Visit from Liverpool...

Nisa came over from Liverpool for a visit! it was a short yet fun visit!

Nisa sampai at about 10 am in Hendon Central.. went to pick her up at HC while wanny and afie still tengah kong from all the tiredness of Paris. Sampai jer rumah whipped up a simple lunch while nisa layan guitar hero...the menu for the day was daging masak blackpepper/kicap and sayur asparugus with mushrooms! sorry yer nisa..simple ajer since me still kepenatan...

Later that evening we headed straight to Winter Wonderland...our ice skating session was ar 4pm..ice skating was fun tapi sangatlah kekok! my last ice skating session was ages ago..back in south africa..i was like 10 years old..heheh.. roller bladding ader laaa kan nisa??? up and down of the SS18's hill! our juara Wanny! skate dah cam orang putih! errkkk..laju jer..nasib baik dia dengan baik hatinya bawak seround kadar laju...after that jalan-jalan and naik the rides.. best nya..rasa all the kepenatan and stress flew away with the wind..huhu..

setel jer kat winter wonderland cam ingat nak balik terus sebab saya terasa sangat penats..tapi ader orang tu cam nak sangat gi satu kedai yang saya ngan nisa sangat suka...dengan nada..eh kat mana kedai tu? jom laaa gi kedai tu! huhuh... so brought them there.. masuk jer muka excited habis afie and wanny and borong cam orang giler! terkejut beruks nisa and I... now they know kehebatan kedai itu! kedai apakah?? jeng jeng jeng....to close up our day, we lepaks at starbucks for some hot drinks...

day 2

woke up a bit late than expected...cepat2 wat breakfast@brunch for nisa, wanny and afie..keluar umah and headed straight to covent garden...walked upwards towards leicester square,picadilly circus and regent street..today was all about sight seeing and photo snapping...kakiku penat sangat but we had lots of fun! had our lunch@dinner at mc d..then lepaskan kepenatan at UNIQLO..hehe..all of us bought ourselves skinnys baru..huhu..after that sambung jalan sehinggalah the station oxford circus untuk pulang...

day 3

hahaha..again, we woke up later than expected..cepat2 siap sebab its nisa's last day..first destination was the millenium bridge.. nisa has heard about its history and suggested that we go there..lepas amik gambar and all we headed towards the st paul's and had our lunch at pizza express..second destination was camden market...just jalan2 at the market and lepas tu masuk the aldo wearhouse..dapat jugalah hasil tangkapan masing-masing..from there headed straight back home sbb nisa nak get her things before heading to the station...

thanks babe for coming...we had lots of fun..kalau sempat i'll turun Liverpool puler next spring or summer ok! kalau sempat before u hols kat msia that is...

Paris

finally i've arrived at one of my dream destination...


managed to go to all places in mind pre-paris trip!

# Eiffel Tower.....checked!

# Notre-Dame.......checked!

# Musee du Lourve..checked!

# Champs Elysees...checked!

paris was great but cold to the max!

the first day was really wet and cold! sian kat wanny and afie sebab disamping belum recover dari jet lag terpaksa jua menempuh kesejukan kadar melampau..but on the other hand i was freezing cold as well! second day was much better..it was cold but tak hujan...thrid day pula kembali drizzle..so sejuks kembali..

Shopping????

disebabkan my nature as an accountant, saya sangatlah calculative! because of the exchange rates saya rasa everything is cheaper in Loncon..so end up just beli ole-ole for the family and for myself i just bought a bangle from a local designer..LOVED IT!

Transport...

secara overall i didnt like the metro compared to the London underground! huhu.. the only advantage is that since the stops between stations are shorter and the train is faster we will arrive at our destination sooner..why i dont like it?

~ the stations are super busuk..hancing bangats!
~ to change between lines are super far n jalan jauh sangat which includes naik turun tangga and liku-liku..haihssss
~ on some lines the metro's door perlu dibuka sendiri oleh penumpangs..[paling tak suka]

anyways...Paris was a great trip! us girls had so much fun...mahu wat lagi trip kah?? new york next year???ermmm jika sempat kumpul duit yer ...saya masih student :P

seronoknyer....

bangun at 630 today!! super excited!!! wanny and afie should be on the plane snoozing now! yeay yeay... the plan was to fetch them from heathrow at about 410pm..or maybe 445 kots sbb nak amik bag n all..then balik umah hantar bag pastu terus shoot pi Brent Cross to get some things before goin tomorrow! itupun kalau mereka tak pancit laaa

esok pagi we'll be leaving home early at around 430 am..our train will leave for paris at about 545am..the journey will take about 2 hours and 52 minutes..

i cannot wait to see the Eiffel tower...

the Notre -Dame

the Musee du Lourve

the Arc de Triomphe of Champs Elysees

well, i got 2 hours of tube ride today to memorize some french words!! ahaks..

errkkk...

hahaha..just to make things CLEAR..my last entry wasnt for SOMEONE! :p relax peeps.. its just something i came across in youtube...me still single and not angau or berangan yer cik red! hehhe... still searching!

You Are a Discount Shopper

You love to get things as cheaply as possible. You live for sales. It's partially because you like to save money, but it's also because you like the thrill of finding a fabulous deal. Of all the types, you tend to shop frequently but rarely by. You keep an eye on prices. Brand names are not that important to you. You know how to have style without collecting designer tags.

What Kind of Shopper Are You?

You Are Somewhat Approachable

You are a fairly friendly person, and you're definitely not scaring people away. You do tend to have your guard up strangers, and rightfully so. How approachable you are depends on who is trying to approach you. You're friendly to people who seem harmless and nice. But you also know how to give creepy people the cold shoulder!

Are You Approachable?

Woot...woot...

today i bangun awal tatkala warga finchley laners sedang tidur lagi..need to go and check out my exam center for next week and make an estimatation of travel time..kita nie semalam yo yo lah print map and so on..rupaya agak senang laa..keluar jer underground Earl's Court terus nampak..but nak jalan ke my particular exam hall tu agak jauh ke dalam juger...it took me about 2 hours to reach there..kalau kat Malaysia dah sampai Ipoh dah!

on the way back try ikut another route..it took me bout 1 hour 45 minutes tapi that line sangatlah ramai orang! dalam train cam tetiba jer teringin goo's choclate cheese cake..[wanny and afie pasti fall in love with goo's range of deserts. Kalau miss nicol ader pun mesti sangatlah suka!]. eh..betul ker eja..goo ke gu!

Anyway's sampai kat Hendon Central , I was contemplating samada nak ke pegi Brent Cross to buy the cake..Since at that time ada bus lalu, tanpa berfikir panjang hop on and off I go. Niat pegi hanyalah untuk menuju ke Waitrose to buy the cake..Tapi sebab tgk Boots meriah sangat masuk jap nak tgk2 harga perfumes and so on..

Perhatian untuk Cik Nicol! ur FCUK body spray bout 20 pounds pastu dapat bag patent berwarna hitam bersama-sama..jika nak pesan silalah roger!

As I was walking out SA dari benefit tu panggil..She remembered me from my previous buys..So dia cam panggil nak promote items baru..So saya yang tengah stress blaja nie pun cakap OK! sambil dia dok ala-ala makeover and..

promote..
promote...
promote....

Ni hasil makeover mini dia..tapi taklaa lawa sgt sbb dua try the erase paste, powderflage,boi-ing and the get ever..dahi tak wat sgt juger sbb takut kene tudungku!


saya pun terbeli one for me and one for my sis! heheh...tunggu yer ayu!!

lps jer habis I was like ALAMAK! dah kul 11am..me dah bazir my study time..cepat2 jalan gi Waitrose and beli the deserts for me and kak in...croissants and yougurt for akilah..barang dapur for the rumah..and off I go!

now im at my from getting ready for hibernation mode! see ya!!

cuakneSS!

Well, I've got exactly 4 days left before my BIG day..not my wedding though..my one and only first attempt of the ACCA papers..

i'll be starting my P1 on monday..P2 on tuesday and P3 on wednesday...3 straight days..not that i'm not use to it in MMU..but its the first time to sit for an ACCA paper..the feeling of uncertainty is definately there..

hope im not gonna flunk all papers..its really gonna be tiring as i have to travel almost 2 hours to reach the exam center everyday..balik pun another 2 hours..hbs 3 days mesti flatness..

sob..sob..sob..takutnyer!

Edinburgh and Inverness

on the second day we went out from the apartment at about 11 am..took the bus to princess street..from there we "hiked" up to the edinburgh castle and the royal mile..the view was breathless...tenang jer rasa...after bout 3 hours of walking around we headed to the train station to pick up the rented car.. it started raining while we were walking..hence...

rain+wind+wet=freezeness

lepas amik kreta we went to see Kak In's exam center..then, headed to the Ocean Terminal Shopping Center to grab something to eat..the shopping center ternyata lebih tenang untuk bersuka-suki dan membeli belah compared to London..heheh..too bad tak sempat nak bershopping! after that we headed back to the apartment as Kak In needs to rest and continued studying..

third day was kak in's big examination day...keluar dari apartment at about 12 plus..lepas hantar kak in at the exam center, abang bwk me and akilah round2 to see the parliament. Next we went to Arthur's Seed.. akilah was really happy to see the ducks and swans...terus keluar her "ducks" and "quacks"..from there we went back to ocean terminal shopping center to buy balaclava for kak in and myself..at about 4 we went to fetch kak in balik..next we headed to fetch kak sela for dinner..ate at lockfyne seafood grill.. the food was yummy!

day four we checked out from the apartment at about 10am dan bertolak ke Inverness...it took us about 3 hours to reach there..the scenary all the was breathless..we passed the highlands where all the mountains were covered in snow..since it was my first time to see so much snow jakun laaa kans :D. Arrived at betul-betul half an hour before out boat cruise in Lockness..sempat gi toilet and minum hot chochlate to recharge..the boat cruise was not as cold as I though it was..maybe sbb dah bundle up cam apam siap-siap..impian untuk jumpa the legand and myth of nessie tak tercapai juger..huhu..anyways, I still enjoyed the cruise! next, we went to our B&B to check in and rest a bit.. I was impressed with the B&B concept as it was my first time..slalu dok hotel or rest house jer..had my own room as abang ,kak in and akilah was in the next room..dalam eightish camtu keluar to the town to ronda-ronda and dinner.. had Italian food at Bella Italia..sedap juger!

day five...our last day..we checked out at about 10 am..we were lucky as it started to snow when we were loading the car...drove back to edinburgh as we needed to arrive before 3 pm as our train was at 330pm..we almost didnt make it sebab bila masuk edinburgh jer kreta dah cam kura-kura..semua dah start cuak as we needed to hantar kreta sewa lagi..change akilah's nappy lagi..alhamdullillah sampai at about 315 at the station and quickly unload the car and returned it..nappy akilah hanya sempat change on the train...by the time duduk jer dalam train tu dah pancit after the rushed moment..nasib baik balik abang amik the 1st class tickets..luas and comfortable sikit the seats..we arrived at St Pancreas at 830pm..

overall loved the trip as it was a short and was a good break for me and my studies! enjoyed the scenary very much! now i'll have to go back to reality and accept the fact that i have an exam in a weeks time!

lepas tu yeay and hooray sebab Wanny and Afie sampai on the 15th and we'll be leaving along with kak ip to paris!cant wait!

Edinburgh- Day 1

we departed from Kingscross at exactly 11 am.. the train was very convenient..siap ada wi-fi for those yang nak uat kerja etc..seats was ok..akilah had a blast and was really an angel..gembira jer all the way..anyways it took us about 4 hours and 15 minutes to arrive here..keluar jer dari train we immediatly felt the strong gust of wind! took a cab to the service apartment..

We will be staying at Western Harbour View Apartment till Friday. I was quite impress with the place and it was definately what i expected..its near to the harbour. Usually what we see n the website is different, but this apartment was definately cosy and nice. Its a 2 bedroom apartment with 2 toilets..the kitchen and living room are also spacious! Will upload the pics soon..Akilah pun happy jer crawling everywhere memandangkan she got all the space she wants..However mummy and abah dia had to hide all the decors and vase!

After freshend up..we went ot to ASDA to get some groceries.. yang kelakarnya we waited for a bus. Dekat gile ok.. tak sempat nak panaskan kerusi pun..we decided to walk back to the apartment..sambil jalan tu ader laa adegan terhuyung-hayang..angin kuat ok! but i definately love the weather...its different from London!

Sampai the apartment abang masak dinner and we rest.. semua mmg dah lapar giler memandangkan we only ate sandwiches during the day.

Getting sleepier now.need to rest for tomorrow...will update soon!

p/s: Alhamdullilah my lymph nodes are less swollen than yesterday but im still on ibuprofen till it fades away!

Swollen Lymph Nodes!

you guys know that Ive been sick up and down for the past weeks..Now to my discomfort a have a swollen lymph node! its near my upper jaw under my right ear..i discovered it on Sunday..today, it feels even worse! i cant seem to talk or eat properly and brushing my teeth is like the worst thing i wanna do!

Why Do Lymph Nodes Become Swollen?

Lymph nodes are tiny capsules, about the size of a pea or small bean that are filled with the cells that help protect the body from illness, which are types of white blood cells called macrophages and lymphocytes. When you get ill, these cells go into action to fight disease, and the lymph nodes may swell due to presence of disease or abnormal tissue in the lymph nodes. There are actually several reasons why lymph nodes become swollen, and many conditions that can cause painful swollen nodesnodes nodes. Which lymph nodes become swollen can sometimes help track which diseases are creating the problem.

Lymph nodes become swollen usually from bacterial or viral infections. As bacteria or viruses invade the nodes, they harden and inflame, and they can really begin to hurt. With colds and flu’s, you may note painfully swollen nodes around the throat, under the arms and at the groin. When lymph reaches very large sizes, especially those around the throat and under the jaw, you may have mumps. Other conditions may sometimes cause large lymph nodes around this area, like strep throat, measles, ear infections, cat scratch fever, gonorrhea, syphilis, toxoplasmosis, or mononucleosis.

Sometimes lymph nodes become swollen and indicate an infection present elsewhere in the body. For instance, if you have an infected cut or wound, or you have a blood infection, you may note lymph nodes become swollen throughout the body. Usually they are most swollen closest to the infection, if it’s on the skin.

In some cases, autoimmune disorders mean lymph nodes become swollen more or less chronically. This is because the body turns on itself, and produces extra white blood cells to attack regular aspects of the body it views as foreign tissue. Typical autoimmune disorders like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, or HIV may mean lymph nodes become swollen or remain swollen for long periods of time.

Swollen lymph nodes can also indicate the presence of foreign abnormal tissue in the nodes, in other words forms of cancer. Lymphoma for instance, specifically attacks the lymph system, and may result in one or more lymph swelling. In other cases, blood cancers like leukemia, mean lymph nodes become swollen.

A swollen lymph node is usually considered to be .39 inches (about a centimeter) in diameter. You’ll definitely be able to feel swelling in most cases, and it can be painful. When you’ve had a doctor identify the cause, treatment of the causal factor can help gradually bring down lymph node swelling. In the interim, while treatment has not yet worked, you can address the discomfort by taking anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen. You can also use warm compresses on the swollen nodes to help bring some relief for the condition. Given the potentially serious causes of swollen lymph nodes, do check with a doctor if lymph node swelling doesn’t reduce in a few days.

~ i have been taking ibuprofen and panadol's activefast..
~ i am goin to edinburgh tomorrow morning! please let me eat and talk!
~ i am not a whinny but it really hurt..sampai nangis ok!

Lost

Somebody dedicated this song to me..At times when ur down its always a good thing that you know that you are not alone....


I can't believe it's over
I watched the whole thing fall
And I never saw the writing that was on the wall
If I'd only knew
The days were slipping past
That the good things never last
That you were crying

Summer turned to winter
And the snow it turned to rain
And the rain turned into tears upon your face
I hardly recognized the girl you are today
And god I hope it's not too late
It's not too late
'Cause you are not alone
I'm always there with you
And we'll get lost together
Till the light comes pouring through
'Cause when you feel like you're done
And the darkness has won
Babe, you're not lost
When your worlds crashing down
And you can't bear the thought
I said, babe, you're not lost

Life can show no mercy
It can tear your soul apart
It can make you feel like you've gone crazy
But you're not
Things have seem to changed
There's one thing that's still the same
In my heart you have remained
And we can fly fly fly away

'Cause you are not alone
And I am there with you
And we'll get lost together
Till the light comes pouring through
'Cause when you feel like you're done
And the darkness has won
Babe, you're not lost
When the worlds crashing down
And you can not bear the cross
I said, baby, you're not lost

and the tranquility of this..


its been almost 4 months now since I last pampered myself...back home kalau letih sikit je gi body massage atau foot reflexology..kalau tension jer gi pedi and mani...haihss at times like this I am thankful that I'm from Malaysia coz kalau kat sana takderlaa mahal sangat..everything here is so expensive sampai nak gi potong rambut pun pikir dua tiga kali..

been thinking of going for a body massage coz badan terasa teramatlah lenguh and sakit2..yer yer..complain macam orang tua..but thats the fact...akan tetapi..bila pikir it will coz me about 50 pounds per session..CANCEL!!! duit travel and makan ku for 3 days tu..haiyaa..nampaknya terpaksa laa tampal koyok jer...

plus my eye brows mmg a mess sekarang... bila terkenangkan kat malaysia threading 5 hinggit jer rasa nak nangis pun ader..kat sini about 10-15 pounds...boleh tak nak balik untuk self pamper jer...hehhe..in my dreams laa kan..

nampak gayanya kene bayangkan or dream about all the self pampering jer laa..sob sob..oklah..back to studying..tengah study sebenarnya ..tapi sebab sakit pinggan mula laa nak melayang merata-rata..huhuh..daA.....

down the memory lane...

have you noticed that songs can really gives us a great impact to our lives.. for me songs can definately trigger both happy and sad memories...if you even forget a person or an event a certain song will definately refreshed your mind..we'll it works for me..

however, in my honest opinion, I prefer to hear and enjoy a number of songs in the past compared to the present...i remembered the good old days when i was a fan of KRU, Backstreetboys, ABBA, Celine Dion and etc.. I still love them by the way...not fogetting all the lagu rock kapak dulu2 kala.. eh betul ke orang panggil rock kapak?? its really hard to find a good song that i love nowdays..hehhe..ke I yang cerewet? mungkin laa kots...bukan la tak suka tapi i prefer lagu2 lama...

i was watching all the old videoclip of KRU and BSB kat youtube...cant help laughing and squirking at myself sbb I was one on those fanatic fans...remembered the BSB concert @ sunway..nasib baik wanny ajak i gi..it was all worth it..kalau ader KRU nak wat concert yang diorg akan nyanyi the songs from the good old days mesti I akan g jugaks...kuang kuang...

anyways, sajer jer nak rambles bout this today..adios...missing everyone at home..mmuahhh

Happy Birthday Wanny!

just wanna wish my dear friends wanny a very Happy 24th Birthday...May Allah grant all your wishes..

What Should I do!

well.. cuaca di kota london ini makin membuat diri ini depress!!! i know it sounds a bit lame complaining and whinning..tapi...i am turning into a GLOOMY person..

moreover there's something dat has been bothering my mind...nak check for certainty takut to face the truth...bila pikir akan the turnout it really make me feel numb n menambahkan depress..the days are numbered and the clock is ticking... i certainly tak boleh melambatkan my actions coz kalau terlambat then there wont be any solutions at all...

my upcoming exams pula is just round the corner..2 months to be exact..dah start study tapi...not full swing mode..kenapalah masalah ini perlu timbul now!

the only thing that makes me cheer up nowdays is the incoming calls from malaysia and spending time with akilah...goshh...how boring can i be!

di kala kebosanan..

Taylor Swift- White Horse

hello everyone... the full version is out! walaupun lagu ini tak ada kene mengena ngan myself, i just love the song and its tune..

So you're sorry
That face of an angel
Comes out just when you need it to
And I paced back and forth all this time
Cause I honestly believed in you
Holding on
And days drag on
Stupid girl,
I should have known, I should have known

[Chorus]
I'm not a princes, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one to sweep off her feet,
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town,
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you
And your white horse, to come around

Baby I was naive,
Got lost in your eyes
And never really had a chance
I had so many dreams
About you and me
Happy endings
Now I know

[Chorus]
I'm not a princes, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one to sweep off her feet,
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town,
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you
And your white horse, to come around

Here you are your sitting there
Begging for forgiveness, begging for me
Just like I always wanted but I'm sooo sorry

Cause I'm not your princess, this ain't a fairytale
I'm gonna find someone somewhere who might actually treat me well
This is a big world, that was a small town
There in my rearview mirror disappears now
Now its too late for you and your white horse
Now its too late for you and your white horse, to catch me now

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
Try and catch me now
Oh, it's too late
To catch me now

Eid 2008 in London..

abang and family

our humble raya meal

our version of ketupat palas..improvise

eid 2008 in Subang Jaya

the raya pictures from my beloved family back at home.. miss them so much!!

Eid 2008...

yesterday i got to spend my first eid in London...we celebrated our eid on the 30th September 2008..satu hari lebih awal dari Malaysia.. I guess this my first time ever berpuasa for 29 days sahaja..Lucky for us, Kak in already prepared most of the blending , tumis etc the night before..so on the raya eve tinggal nak masak and mengemas je..Our raya menu was rendang ayam minang, kuah kacang, nasi impit and ketupat palas..our ketupat palas was an improvised version anyways.. Since abang prefer ketupat palas rather than ketupat nasi, Kak In decided tu fulfilled her beloved husband's wishes..instead of using daun palas, kitaorg shaped the pulut into segitiga in plastic..hehehe...thankfully the end product agak menjadi and nyum-nyum..

anyways, this raya was really a mixture of emotions raya for me..first of all im away from all the people that i love and i really do miss them...however, I get to compensate it by enjoying my first raya in London..moreover i get to spent my raya with abang setelah almost 7 years tak beraya bersama..lagi satu its my first raya with my kakak ipar..dan...yang paling penting i get to spent akilah's first ever raya..

we started our raya with the ritual maaf bermaafan..then menjamu selera...next, kitaorg gi Malaysian Embassador's open house..ramai juge orang..overall the food was nice..then, we went to Kak In's friends house.. dapatlah merasa juadah orang turki..makan lagi! then we head to Abang Feroz'z place.. by that time we were already full so end up minum n makan papodom jer.. eh betul ker ejaan tu?? lepas tu pulang ker rumah terus coz abang's friend, Jamal was coming over..

Kirenya my raya here was a simple yet memorable raya..

p/s:- will upload the pics soon..

the versus of love...

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength
while loving someone deeply gives you courage......

just finished watching Ayat-ayat Cinta...yess...I may bit behind but I never thought an Indonesian movie could give such a great impact...As described by the synopsis it is a beautifully portrayed Islamic love story; a tale of a virtuous Muslim protagonist who overcomes all obstacles of life maintaining pure ideals.

The storyline is has definitely gave a different perspective in yet another malay or indonesian love story. Along with the impact of the music background, one will certainly find this story heartbreaking..

i'm not A pRincess.. this ain't a fAiry taLe...

for those who watched the premier of Greys Anatomy Season 5....

This soNg is definately sweet...loved of this season starts oFF...not forgetting Taylor Swift's new song debut..White Horse! cant wait for the release of the full version..sweet..sweet..sweet...yeay for greys anatomy!! its gonna be an interting season! what do you guys think??

my recent...

hey guys.. for those yang request my recent photos, here it is.. tak banyak ok! i kan pemalu..oleh itu jarang amik gambar.. my all time favourite hobby now is to take pictures of akilah darling..

Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.

1) Hampir semua yang close to me akan sedar i am a kalut person..i am definately bukan seseorang yang boleh do unplanned things.. if it does occur then my kalut personaliti will definately appear..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2) Im a moderate cook! yes.. if im at home i jarang masak..but the fact that i dont do it doesnt mean that i dont know how to do it...sejak berada di london nie i masak more than usual..and so far i do get compliments.kuang kuang kuang...i do enjoy cooking and exploring my taste buds in restaurants...so people yang suka go out and eat boleh laa ajak i..hint!!hint!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3) My all time favourite thing to do is shop!!! this includes clothes, bags, shoes, grocery, and apa saja yang involvekan diri ini untuk keluar , explore and cuci mata!! I can spent my whole day jalan-jalan..this factor mmg definately opposite of wanny..nasib baik dia still leh layan kawan dia sorang nie..however im not a compulsive shopper.. walaupun nafsu shopping itu ada i tetap akan mengambil kire wang dalam bank!! hehhe.. yerlaa i kan accountant so paham2 jer laa.. like wanny said..CETI!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4) I am a very loyal person.. i am a loyal friend and lover..chewahh.. for me, its something to treasure for!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5) I am a TV series freek... i love to watch them secara marathon..huhuh.. for me its a therapy for myself to release any sort of stress..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
6) I get sick often...it seems that i have a low level of antibodi..i get sick easily and i am allergic to many things terutamanya habuk and the smell of paint..but that doest mean i dont help out to clean the house etc.. it just means that i have to take a pill after i do so..huhu..tapi kalau dapat maid when i have my own house is an advantage jugaks...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
7) Lastly.. this statement will definately be shock to some people.. I am in love and it kills me that i cant share to the world to whom im in love with...so bagi rakan-rakan yang akan pesture n torture me to get an answer..i will tell u guys one fine day..till them..TUNGGU...

sedihnyaa...

haihs.. counting the days for eid to arrive... never thought i would cry just by listening the raya songs...maybe its because ive been missing my mom, sister and friends for the past few days..or is it because its like the first time i'll be away from home for raya..yeah people would like say that i have my brother, kak in and akilah..but its not the same aite.. or maybe its just my hormones making me so damn emotional..

i remembered my first time being away from my parents for eid.. i was in form 2..my parents were in bangkok as my dad was posted there.. at that time i spent my raya in penang with my grandparents, aunts, uncle and of coz my beloved cousins..however i was in malaysia and the feeling was definately different..

i really hope i wont cry my eyes out on the morning of raya...btw.. let me dedicate the song by sudirman - dari jauh ku pohon maaf to all...sob sob...

Music Therapy

Since I was in a stress mood these past few days, I decided to google up several methods to lighten up my mind. Just a light article to share for those in a stress mode. So here goes...

Listening to music does wonders to alleviate stress. Please note that everyone has different tastes in music. Listen to the music that you feel comfortable. Sitting down and forcing yourself to listen to relaxation music that you don't like may create stress, not alleviate it.Music has always been a great healer. Music is a significant mood-changer and reliever of stress, working on many levels at once.

Many experts suggest that it is the rhythm of the music or the beat that has the calming effect on us although we may not be very conscious about it. They point out that when we were a baby in our mother's womb, we probably were influenced by the heart beat of our mother. We respond to the soothing music at later stages in life, perhaps associating it with the safe, relaxing, protective environment provided by our mother.

Music can be one of the most soothing or nerve wracking experiences available. Choosing what will work for any individual is difficult, most will choose something they 'like' instead of what might be beneficial. In doing extensive research on what any given piece of music produces in the physiological response system many unexpected things were found. Many of the so-called Meditation and Relaxation recordings actually produced adverse EEG patterns, just as bad as Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. The surprising thing was many selections of Celtic, Native American as well as various music containing loud drums or flute were extremely soothing. The most profound finding was Any music Performed Live and even at moderately loud volumes even if it was somewhat discordant had very a beneficial response. Whenever the proper sounds were experienced an amazing right/left brain hemisphere synchronization occurred. The normal voltage spiking pattern changed to a smooth sinusoidal waveform and the usual voltage differential equalized. The entire human energetic system is extremely influenced by sounds, the physical body and chakra centers respond specifically to certain tones and frequencies. Special consideration should be given to the positive effects of one actually playing or creating music themselves.

Among the first stress-fighting changes that take place when we hear a tune is an increase in deep breathing. The body's production of serotonin also accelerates. Music was found to reduce the pain during dental procedures.Playing music in the background while we are working, seemingly unaware of the music itself, has been found to reduce the stress.

Music was found to reduce heart rates and to promote higher body temperature - an indication of the onset of relaxation. Combining music with relaxation therapy was more effective than doing relaxation therapy alone.

Maximizing With Music Therapy

As we mentioned before, there is not a single music that is good for everyone. People have different tastes. It is important that you like the music being played.The following are general guidelines to maximize the effectiveness of the music:

• To wash away stress, try taking a 20-minute "sound bath." Put some relaxing music on your stereo, then lie in a comfortable position on a couch or on the floor near the speakers. For a deeper experience, you can wear headphones to focus your attention and to avoid distraction.
  
• Choose music with a slow rhythm - slower than the natural heart beat which is about 72 beats per minute. Music that has repeating or cyclical pattern is found to be effective in most people.
  
• As the music plays, allow it to wash over you, rinsing off the stress from the day. Focus on your breathing, letting it deepen, slow and become regular. Concentrate on the silence between the notes in the music; this keeps you from analyzing the music and makes relaxation more complete.
  
• If you need a stimulation after a day of work, go for a faster music rather than slow calming music.
  
• When going gets tough, go for a music you are familiar with - such as a childhood favorite or favorite oldies. Familiarity often breeds calmness.
  
• Take walks with your favorite music playing on the walkman. Inhale and exhale in tune with the music. Let the music takes you. This is a great stress reliever by combining exercise (brisk walk), imagery and music.
  
• Listening to the sounds of nature, such as ocean waves or the calm of a deep forest, can reduce stress. Try taking a 15- to 20-minute walk if you're near the seashore or a quiet patch of woods. If not, you can buy tapes of these sounds in many music stores.

lovin my new blackberry!

mesti semua cam tak caya out of all people, me; intan alia owning a blackberry... those close to me knows that i'm like at all time blur with phones, gadgets and any other things yang sewaktu dengannya... however ntah macamana tatkala memilih phone so that i can register a new line here in london, the blackberry curve yang menambat hati.

Actually waktu dok survey2 tu cam ader gak tanya wanny what phone I should get. Wanny awal-awal lagi dah cadangkan this phone. My initial alasan was Kak In dah guna... Tapi after much consideration n pikir panjang, 2 weeks to be exact, i made up my mind. Alang-alang baik pilih this phone terus.

At first wanted to register for an orange line, supaya boleh dapat the blackberry in emerald black. Tapi setelah consider the plans and packages plus terdengar cakap mamat Fonehouse tu i decided to sign up for the T-mobile line. Yand kelakarnya, Kak Ip yang patut teman i sign up for the line pun end up balik rumah with a new blackberry as well...So now kat rumah @ 80b Finchley Lane nie ader 3 orang yang using the same phone! Sorry and Thanks for the inspiration Kak In..

Still taking time to explore and getting use to this phone... trust me, it will really take me a long time...heheh...but so far i lovin it! wish me luck...

p/s: fallin in love my the new ipod nano too.. hurmm.. should i?
