Minggu lepas, makan2 sambil lepak2 kat umah Kak Lin aka Madam Syezlin. Kak Lin ni lecturer UIA. Actually, dia ajar kita jugak. Ajar Statistical Methods. Pssst Kak Lin, kita dah tengok dah balik result kita... dapat OK, dapat B je...napelaa tak dapat A ke A- ke? Malas lee ni... Surprisingly!! this is the first subject ever kita ambik masa start Main Camp kat IIUM Gombak. So, kiranye Kak Lin ni antara lecturer pertama yang ajar kita laa..

Kak Lin wat open house since dia dah successfully graduated as a Doctorate. Now, Kak Lin ni dah jadi Dr Syezlin. Congratulations Kak Lin!!!

This time around, kitorang wat Kek Batik and Pandan Chiffon Cake. Actually, nak bawak kek batik je, but then, hubby teringin nak makan Pandan Chiffon Cake. So, dia wat satu for us, and satu untuk bawak ke umah Kak Lin. Jadilah 2 kek....





For those yang still remember Kak Lin and tak ingat pon takpe, Kak Lin send her regards to all her students. I can see that some of you still remember her since I've posted a photo of me and Kak Lin kat Facebook.

Me and Dr Syezlin

Makan sudah, lepak pon sudah... time to go hoooooooooooomee... Esoknye kena kerja.. So, takleh lepak sampai pagi. Nanti masing2 'ponteng' keja karang...

Sempat bergambar bersama2 seme yang balik together2 that day. Kitorang balik sesama, datang pon sesama. Nilaa dia group nye...

Today's entry, saje nak selitkan our dinner meal yang kitorang prepare on 6th July 08. Kitorang masak recipe mama Shahril. Saya penah makan once kat rumah Shahril masa balik Malaysia on May 08. Masa tu balik sensorang coz nak settlekan spouse visa. Sedapnye and teringat-ingat plak. Bila tanye Sayang, dia cakap.. dia rasa2 dia tau kot... So, petang hari tu kitorang call lah Mama Bangi. Tanye recipe.

Kira2 dah ok, dah tau dah... petang tu jugak, kitorang prepare barang2 nak masak for dinner. Saje... kepingin punye pasal. Serious... mmg sedap... tapi, still tak sesedap mama masaklah.

So, enjoy the photo jelah ye...

Ni tomato soup as the gravy:





Ni lah bebola daging. It is big as what you can see. Dibuat from mashed potatoes and inti daging dalamnye. Nak membuatnye, mmg guna baaaaaaaannnyak potatoes.



This is how we ate it. Hmm.....delllllllllliiiiiiiiccccccccccccciiiioooooooouuuuusssssss

Minggu lepas, on 5th July kami ke rumah baru Kak Ayu kat Easfield Crescent, Badger Hill. Kak Ayu buat housewarming and Tahlil. Kak Ayu jemput semua Malaysians yang tinggal kat York ni. This is the first time ever we got to know Malaysians who live here.

Majlis actually start at 2 o'clock. Tapi, kami terlambat 2 jam!!! Kami pi ngan Kak Ina, Abang Azmir and 2 cuties, anak2 kak Ina and abang Azmir, Dina and Sabrina. Abang Azmir ada car problem sket so a bit lewat. Yang paling hebat sekali, tuan rumah, Kak Ayu and Abang Shahar sabar menanti ketibaan kami. Yelah, Malaysian kat York tak ramai mana. So, leh nampak sape yang takde. Kami (Kak Ina's family and us) risau sangat sebab buat orang ternanti2. Tapi, kami tak sengaja. Mintak mahap yee Kak Ayu, Abang Shahar and seme yang dah datang awal2 tu... Terlambat aritu... InsyaAllah, kami tak buat lagi

Haritu jugak, berjumpa lah saya dengan Kak Ida. First time ever borak, kat fotopages ni lah. Sekali jumpa kat umah Kak Ayu. Yelah, Kak Ida pon one of the Malaysians who lives here.

Tak dapat nak snap gambar banyak2 and gambar seme orang coz tak kenal lagi seme orang time tu. So, nak snapping around tu, lom lagi lah. Hopefully, pada gathering akan datang dapat selitkan seme muka2 Malaysians yang ada kat York nih.

Ni lah dia Tuan Rumah, Kak Ayu with the Kids and Leha. Leha ni pandai masak... Bak kata Kak Ayu, "Order saja... nanti Leha prepare kan. Sebut je ape nak makan." Hmm...macam I Dream of Jeanie laa plak... Best gile Kak Ayu and Family dia...



Kami bawak Cakes for Tuan Rumah. My Sayang dia pon nak bake a cake, so dia buat special punye for that Day. Kita buat Chocolate Cake, my family recipe je...



Some of the foods yang kita managed snap before kehabisan. Macam2 menu ada...











My Sayang with Abang Azhar



Last but not least, one of the phD students here was my Lecturer, Madam Shazlin. Kalau tak silap, subject Statistics dulu. Now, panggil Kak Lin je since kat sini.

Congratulations Kak Lin!!! Tomorrow, which is on July, 13th, Kak Lin plak wat makan2 sambil lepak2 kat Rumah dia. So, next entry will be in soooooooooooonnn.... tu pon kalau ada masalaa...

Last Friday we went out to play bowling after Jum'at prayer. It was not a plan activity at all. Suddenly, my hubby said, lets play bowling tomorrow and of course I will agree to it! As long as we go out, thats fine with me. Even just walk out to town, I am okay with that. It was nice to go out during summer. The sun is bright... the weather is not soooo cold... even sometimes it's raining...

We haven't played bowling for quite some time now. So, it's quite excited to play again.



We arrived at the Tenpin Bowl around 3pm and took the Unlimited Bowling Package. We can play up until 6pm for this package. Managed to play 6 games!!That's alot! For this, we only paid GBP25.50 for 3 person. Meaning, GBP8.50/person.

First player - Yik
Look at the style...



Second player - Shahril aka Alin



Loooove this one! Gaya mutu Keunggulan



Last but not least - Me!



3 in 1 : Play, Snack and Snap!






Snackie...



Our scores..
Only managed to capture 5 out of 6 games...




Time to go hoooome... Tenpin Bowl, we'll come again next time!!

First time ever kena tag ni since active berfotopages. Dapat tag from Nazlyn, a friend of mine masa study kat IIUM dulu. Tag ni berkenaan, Sejarah Kali Pertama... Macam2 ada tu..

Bile baca je soklan2 'Kali Pertama' ni, hmm...mencabar gak. Nanti family n relatives seme baca... Malu....

So, mari kita mulakan Sejarah Kali Pertama Saya :

1. Kali pertama naik kapal terbang
Ketika berumur 8 bulan. Tak sedar ape2 pon masa ni. Gambar je jadi kenangan. Masa ni nak pi India, stay sana for about 2 years coz ayah kena bertugas di sana. Gambar kat India tak dapat nak attach coz semenya kat rumah parents.

2.Kali pertama melahirkan zuriat.
Yang ni tak dapat nak menjawabnya... belum ada rezeki lagi.

3. Kali pertama pegi oversea
Ni berbalik kepada soklan no 1 tadi. Pi India. Tapi, time ni tak sedar pape pon... Kalau nak dikira masa dah besar2 ni, pi Sabah kira tak? Family penah stay kat Sabah gak for 2 years. Ni pon ikut ayah bertugas kat sana. Masa ni berumur 22thn, lebih kurang... Kitorang tinggal kat Kem Lok Kawi, KK. Kalau tak kira, dah besar2 ni masa pi Padang, Indonesia tahun 2006.

4. Kali pertama duduk jauh dari keluarga
Masa form 1. Takdelah jauh sangat. Tapi, kira jauh gaklaa.. Kena duk asrama, sebulan skali baru boleh balik umah. Asrama kat Cheras, family kat Seremban.

5. Kali pertama merasakan diri ini gemuk.
Huh! Ni salu... Kali pertama masa form 2. Masa ni parents kat Seremban gak. Masa tu, cuti sekolah. Duduk rumah je, terasa gemuk lak. Asyik makan je keja. Pastu, kita lari dalam rumah. Dari depan, ke bilik, ke dapur banyak kali sampai berpeluh2. Pastu rasa best skit badan.

6. Kali pertama bekerja
Lepas SPM. Masa ni parents hantar kursus komputer kat Kajang coz sambil2 tunggu result tu, pi la wat something yang berfaedah. Pastu, jiran, Kak Ju ada Salon Nutrimetics. Dia ajak tolong dia jaga kedai. So, lepas kursus tu, pi tolong Kak Ju kat Salon dia. Dapatla RM500 sebulan duit poket.

7. Kali pertama bercinta.
Erk...masa cuti sekolah form 2. Kenal pon masa pi berkursus kat Kolej Negeri, N9. Kitorang still baik. Dia pon dah kawin and now expecting first child. Dia tu doctor kat UK ni and wife dia pon doctor, orang Bangladesh-UK. Alaa..cinta2 monyet.

8. Kali pertama merasakan diri ini cantik
Ni tak ingatlah... Tapi, rasa-rasanya masa kecik2 dah start ada peminat. Hahahaha... Kali pertama, masa darjah 6. Tak malunyee...

9. Kali pertama masuk panggung wayang
Masa form 2. Masa ni tengok cite ape ntah. Pi ngan Kak Peanut, kakak sedaraku... Kitorang tengok kat Panggung Wayang Ipoh.

10. Kali pertama masuk wad hospital
Tak penah lagi masuk spital. Nau'zubillah... Tak maula sakit teruk2... Kalau masuk pon, hopefully masa nak bersalin ke.. takpe gak.

OK, thats it from my part. Mangsaku kali ini ialah seperti berikut :

1) Kak Izan
2) Intan Ireland
3) Kak Aimah
4) Shasha Leeds
5) Raja Noor Adilla
6) Watie - New friend

Eti Fairuz ni kawan lama masa study kat Sek Ren Convent Kajang dulu. Mula2 terjumpa kat Facebook. Lama gile tak jumpa minah sorang ni... Tak sangka kita jumpa kat UK kan Eti.
Eti ni rupa2nye kawan kepada Kak Lina. Diorang kawan baik masa study kat Essex dulu buat Masters. Now, sorang buat PhD kat Birmingham (Eti Fairuz) and Kak Lina lak buat PhD kat York.
Eti berada di York dari 19th - 22nd June. Dia tinggal kat rumah Kak Lina & Kak Rita. On Friday, Kak Lina wat plan bawak Eti jalan2 York Town so Kak Lina ajak kita join sekali. Kita okay je coz rumah memang dalam town. Convenient sangatla nak kuar. Lagipon hubby keja, duduk rumah pon tengok tv je. Best gak kuar jalan2 town dengan kawan2. Of course dah mintak izin hubby before went out.

Photos taken on Friday.
upppsss...ada gambar sensored..

On Saturday, kitorang pi The Balloon Tree Farm. Photos dah upload kat entry before this.

Photos taken on the last day Eti in York...
Masa ni kat rumah Kak Lina. Kak Ina & Family pon ada sama coz Kak Lina buat nasi ayam and ajak Kak Ina sefamily join. Thanx to Abang Azmir coz sudi tolong hantarkan Eti balik ke train station. Tak payah Eti naik bas and terkejar2 train dia. Kan Eti kan...
Tapi, Eti takde lak dalam gambar ni. Mane eh Eti masa nih. Huhuhuhu...

Last weekend, we went to The Balloon Tree Farm for fruits picking.
There were 5 of us - Kak Rita, Kak Lina, Eti Fairuz(my long lost friends!! first time we met since we left Convent School), Thariq (my brother) & me.



Lots of fruits to be picked but we have one BIG mission to be fulfilled which is... to fill up our bucket with strawberries!!!



There were cranberries, gooseberries, blueberries & strawberries... we even found hen and goats over there!!! Jinak2 plak tu. The animals don't even feel scared when we came near them to take photos. There is evidence as below where we pose in photos with the hen concentrate eating a strawberry in front of us.



We even had our lunch aka picnic on the Farm. We did this quietly and quickly coz we don't know whether the owner allowed visitors to eat/picnic in the Farm. But, we just did!! We don't think gonna do like this anymore coz it was not a fun picnic although it still fun in its own way. We ate fast and kept on looking around if the staff will come to us and ask us to leave. We even prepared to answer them IF they ask us about it.




After walking around the farm, we went straight to the last area - strawberries park.

After makan-makan, ladies duduk depan lak layan 3 movies!! Seme cite hantu. Cite antu ni best tengok ramai2. Dahlaa lama tak tengok cite melayu. Kitorang layan cite Akhirat (ni bukan cite antu), Congkak & Anak. Kaum lelaki main gitar kat backyard.

Bersama si comey


Lepas kitorang tengok cite antu, kaum laki plak conquer ruang tamu. Diorang tengok bola. Kitorang plak pindah kat belakang, makan lagi.

First week balik to York, dah ada activity bersama kakak2 yang kami rapat di York. Kak Ina and Abang Azmir organize BBQ kat umah dia, Clifton. Seronok!! Masa tu jumpa lah balik Kak Rita (cousin nih), Kak Lina and berkenalan dengan Kak Rainy, Kak Ayu & Family and Kak Shima & Family. Kak Shima actually kawan Kak Ayu from Glasgow.

Hari kami BBQ tu, genaplah sebulan Kak Rainy berada di York. Kak Rainy pon sambung PHD kat sini, lecturer UIA. Kawan kepada Kak Rita.

Enough said, enjoy the photos!!!
