shan't be

Assalamualaikum,

Went to South Shields yesterday, it was a very quiet place, with lots and lots of pretty green grass, and nice houses, a very peaceful town I have to admit. But Mann said there's no way he can survive in such a place if he was to dwell there, because its too quiet? We went there to visit Abang Samsul though, and to pergi ke carnival. Anyway, on top of that, ada beach, where in London or where in Livarpool can you get a beach? Well for your information South Shields is 30 minutes away from Newcastle City at maximum, and went there by metro and I think Jimmy said South Shield is still a part of Newcastle, so its still Newcastle (:

So I have decided not to join going to York on Wednesday, yes a day before leaving for London - but that's not the point lah to why I decided to stay. Cos the whole point of going to York is to go to factory outlets in other words, to "shop" - and I do not want to end up buying things I don't need. And for sure, everyone knows better than to believe me say I won't shop in York, please.

I have been doing Marketing revision over that last one hour. I seriously need to get earplugs. Oh and I have two more parcels coming this month from Amazon - bought two more books (: (:

Newcastle's Raya

Assalamualaikum. It's actually surprisingly AMAZING. The Hari Raya here I mean, it was great. Although it lasted for a day saja, unlike di Brunei - probably masih lagi ada orang open house di Brunei this week. Well, have fun with that, and Selamat Hari Raya (:

This was our open house, at my home masa raya. And these are some of the guys (:

Assalamualaikum!

I finally got an internet connection at home. And yes Alhamdulillah I have been fine, and well (:

Pictures Insyallah when it's a little bit less cold out there for me to actually take my hands out of my pockets and press the shutter button. And a little less busy. I have assignments and notes to read and books to flip through. So bear with me.

It's been cold. And I can officially say it to your faces now, that I hate the cold. It's not pleasant. And I got my self a coat that's actually oversize by a size. Because they don't have my size. Okay whatever. I'll eat more so I can actually fit in it. Haha!

Speaking of eating. I've been eating, eating and eating. Because the guys here know how to cook, and we actually have nothing to do but to commit ourselves to our studies. Okay, and other than that we eat. Study, eat, sleep and pray. Bathe or shower. FO SHO! I'd be loving showers if it's not this cold. They say winter would be twice this cold.

Seriously, I sat right next to the heater with the blanket thrown over it and had it wrapped around me last night - that's my Brunei zone. We got back pretty late after touring the Millennium Bridge at Gateshead, say around 1 in the morning? And you know how it feels like to get in your cars, at noon or at 1400 or 1500 hours after leaving it under the scorching Brunei sun? And yes, that's what it felt like to be under that blanket, and yet - believe me, my feet were still cold. And its not even winter yet. INSANE. And it's been really windy for the past few days.

Will need to buy some more clothes. And our washing machine got screwed. Not funny. Bookmark. Don't click on the link, that's for my personal use only, so I got the hold of where I left. Bookmark.

Okay I've got to go revise and read notes first. Okay, until then. Assalamualaikum, and have a nice day! (:

With a heater sitting right next to me to keep me warm, Assalamualaikum. Good morning, Brunei and good evening Newcastle (:

It's been a while since I last updated. How am I doing? Alhamdulillah. I miss my family and close friends, the boyfriend, and the cats. And I left the extension back at home, so I bought one just now. And then I went to the University as well to check out the Business School - it's the new building, but I sort of like the old buildings more, you know the castle-looking buildings? Lawa. You don't get to see it back at home.

So today, we found a house. Alhamdulillah. We will be moving in either on Wednesday or Thursday. And tomorrow - I seriously need to list out the things I should be doing esok.

• Bangun pagi and gag at the cold
• Ask Ummi if I can keep the bed sheet, and whatever
• Go to the Uni to complete my registration
• Go shopping for clothes
• Open up a bank account

And now I need to check important dates and events that I need to take note of. I have responsibilities now, deal with the bills, with the money, with everything - so don't be an ass and call me a bitch for not being around, because right now, there's a lot to learn and to settle (:

Assalamualaikum! An old friend back in PGGMB Madang uploaded our primary 1 class photo on Facebook and thank you for that. The kid I circled in blue atu is Haziqah Hasnan. Hahaha! She used to cry (a lot?) - And that's how aku ingat ia. But basically almost all those little girls in that class sikit-sikit nangis, and then someone would approach and ask, 'siapa anu kau?' - Aku sekali saja, yes I remember. Haha! And kesian, no one came. HAHAHA! See you tomorrow, Jik! ;)

When I was a kid:

• I wasn't rapat with many girls.
• My childhood friends were mostly boys (until primary three, that's when I moved to Sunshine School and found my real 'girl' friend)
• I used to exchange exercise or note books with Nisa (girl standing on my right, in the photo) to copy whatever's on the board, and tell her I'd copy for her and she copy for me, but sebenarnya, aku malas tulis because my handwriting looked like shit, and hers looked good and neat. So I was demotivated by my own, and almost all the time I returned her book, incomplete (and I don't think pernah complete jua) - But I can say, she was a speedy writer, man..
• I used to have a crush on Azri's (same row macam aku, paling hujung sekali) elder brother Aziz - and ia selalu tolong aku get back up everytime aku terabah masa lari-lari during breaktime. Yes, aku selalu terabah.
• And Wani (girl next to Teacher Junaidah) was the mean one. Sekali masa aku celebrate my birthday (ada Garfield on my cake!), she was really nice to me. And then I remember she pissed me off at one time, and she had my pink bunny chop (chops were the IN thing masa atu) with her, and I 'snatched' it back from her. Wah! Aku ingat. Because I bitched with the IT girl. HAHAH!
• Buang jabat. Jabat. Buang jabat. Jabat.
• Eh wait - SOMEBODY DID APPROACH ME - and said, 'siapa anu kau?' and then aku bagitau lah, then, the girl said, 'kau jua anu ia' - HAHA! Jahat. I forgot who it was.
• Aku inda pernah main the dolls, sekali saja kali pernah- tapi sekajap. Because the girls didn't mingle with me. And I was shy kid, and because aku inda 'click' with girls.
• I used to smuggle books out of the library.
• The music teacher pernah kurung aku belakang pintu. Yes, belakang pintu.
• Aku selalu lari-lari sama si B-Boy (first boy, in the very front row)
• Aku inda suka Azri because he was mean. Rahimi and Azri pernah pulled out the tape from my cassette (dulu cassette ah, classic) - and then daddy-ku datang. Lapas atu si Rahimi nangis.
• I had a crush on Fauzi (guy next to Azri) - and Amalina (where in the photo?) had a crush on him too, and she kept on bragging that Fauzi was her boyfriend. I was dissapointed, because she was pretty. HAHA!

There's more, but I'll stop here. Need to sleep (:

p/s: of course I don't have any grudges or hard-feelings towards any one of them at all, we were all kids (:

I finally got the box, it was surrounded by other boxes, and yes I actually 'climbed' over the boxes to get it. Well my dad helped, like put away the huge, heavy boxes so I can easily slither through and get the box. So what's the big deal? It's a box full of memories ;)

My girls got me this card for my 18th birthday (:

So I practically rummaged the store room, just to get this picture of me, my dad and my brother - actually I forgot my brother was in the picture, cute - And yes I was a kid with a messy, messy hair. Seriously. Haha! So yeah, this is it, the photo that I need to take with me. And also I found my backstage passes, back when I went here and there to dance. And I found this too (:

There are loads of other things too, personal things. At least I shared a few. Haha! Well I planned to take that Polaroid photo pulang saja from the box, but then I ended up taking out other things too, just to smile (:

And by the way, the family, Fauzi and my boyfriend went out for sungkai today. The place was crowded though, but I had a great time (:

Then my dad dropped me and my sister at UBD hostel, cos she left her car sana (cos we picked her up there earlier) - and I went to see her room. Small, but really cozy. She'll be staying at the hostel for her final year. Cos it's tiring to drive, back and forth I guess. Right? Belum pulang lagi, she better wait till I leave. Cos she can't just go missing while I'm still here, a few more days won't hurt (:

LISTS

How do you pack your toiletries in your "one bag for toiletries" -? Because I have some items in glass bottles, so I can't just pack them together, because it's going to knock against one another and possibly crack? Unless I have bubble wraps.

So I went shopping at the Guardian the other day, the bill was horrifying. Anyway, the list of toiletries and whatever is associated with it:

1. Hand and body lotion luggage
   
2. Lip balm hand carry
   
3. Vitamin C unaccompanied luggage
   
4. Multi-vitamin unaccompanied luggage
5. Toothbrush (the folded one, for travelling) hand carry
   
6. Toothpaste hand carry
   
7. Deodorant luggage
   
8. Night toners (2x) luggage
9. Morning toners luggage
10. Face moisturizers (2x) luggage
11. Pads* (2 packs) luggage
12. Hairbrush luggage

19. Shampoo (small amount) luggage
20. Body sponge (2x) luggage new update!
    

Perfume, and some others I can cram them in later. Still in use. And about the pads, yes I'm not going to bring a lifetime supply of pads as recommended, my mom said she didn't have any problem at all looking for pads in UK so, just in case UK refuse to sell pads and sell only tampons. Which is ridiculous? Haha. My mom asked to be informed, so she can DHL me a lifetime supply of those.

Alright, footwear? Basically everything is going to be flat (:

1. Pumps luggage
2. Sneakers*
3. Sports shoes luggage
4. Flip-flops luggage

Ada three pairs lah saja in my luggage, cos I'm going to wear one of them, and still have to decide between pumps and sneakers.

And clothings (luggage only) if you have something to say about the list, please do so, too many, too few, bring it on (:

1. Jeans (4x) luggage
2. Jacket luggage
3. Body towel luggage
4. Face towel luggage
5. Bras (8x) luggage new update!
   
6. Underwears luggage

9. Long pants (2x) luggage
10. Shirts (2x) luggage
11. Blazer
12. Tudongs (7x) luggage
13. Shawls (2x) luggage
14. Baju kurung luggage

And the clothings list will be updated of course. About tudongs - we were supposed to shop for them yesterday, but we were too tired to continue browsing, so I still can't say how many I will bring. done!

And now, my miscellaneous list,

1. Laptop hand carry
2. Camera hand carry
3. Hangers (12x) luggage
4. Hanger with several dangling pegs luggage

6. Telkung hand carry
7. Prayer mat luggage
8. Chargers of number 1 and 2 hand carry
9. Extension socket luggage
10. Adapter luggage
11. Laundry net (3x) luggage
12. Mini ricecooker unaccompanied luggage
13. Electric kettel unaccompanied luggage

I'm still not sure whether to bring my camera or not, which I think I'll bring, sebab it's a DSLR so it's quite bulky. And watch? I lost my watch, so I still need to get a watch soon, before I leave.

And people, you have got to stop multiplying prices by three, if that's the way you think, then you'll find everything expensive, and live in worry. Such as a lifetime supply of stationaries, and women's pads. By the way, tampons don't kill you know.

Basically all of the documents below will be hand carried and aku simpan dalam clear folder - new update!

1. Passport
2. Medical Report
3. X-Ray film
4. Acceptance letter from the University
5. Financial guarantee letter
6. Scholarship offer letter

8. AS level certificate
9. A level certificate
10. Identification Card
11. Student Card

I will also be bringing along all (not all, most of them) letters and booklets (except for the prospectus) from the University sent to me, but those will be in my luggage. Inda jua banyak banar lah.

Food stuff is going to be the unaccompanied luggage, so whatever. And finally, let's just pray everything will be just fine on the 05/09/09 okay? (:

WILL BE UPDATED

Holla beautiful creatures! (:

What's wrong with SL now? Very slow. And my income is from attacking people until they're terminally depressed, and then vote them like I've just given them a basket full of cupcakes. Haha!

Assalamualaikum.
I had a very delicious creamy Oreo pudding this evening ;)
Alhamdulillah I'm 1/3 way through packing. Haven't been out taking shots of the world, maybe I should do that tomorrow? Or maybe Sunday - because I might be going out to shop (again) tomorrow.

I think I should resume packing now, get real.
