reading week

it was wonderful!

spent one nite in london, went to gatwick and everywhere with him. came back to canters and slept over at his aunt's place so i was basically with him 24/7. we have breakfast, lunch and dinner together - i spent more time with him here than in brunei =) and the shopping! his uncle has a car so we got driven to bluewater and tkmax and ystrdy, after sending him off to the airport, we went to bicester village. lama sudah i tak naik kereta, u knw! it was like being back in brunei, going everywhere in a car, except the weather was uber cold. on top of that, i i didnt shop much (so i saved money), and on the things that i did buy, they were really really really good bargains. like the DKNY bag i got from bicester =D

plus (yes, theres more) i got to be with the two most adoooorable little girls who happen to be his cousins. remember i mentioned about little girls in my previous post? well its them. they're so pintar and speak with such cute lilting english accents and its adorable when they talk malay psl lacis2x u knw. lol. i mean, they're 4 and 5 so its cute when they do that. but it is NOT cute if ur over 12 bcoz it just means ur a snob. i beg ppl to differ.

plus plus (haha awu... i reli had fun waah), he got me another pair of swarovski earrings. with no persuasion at all. and he chose them for me too.


arent they pretty?

and thats why i love him. no, not bcoz of the material things he showers on me but the fact that he knows how and when to spoil me. believe me, i usually get a firm 'no' when i ask for something.

its sunday now, and tomoro its back to lectures. but i still got loads of work to do =s altho in my opinion, i spent reading week the best way possible, with no wasted second. i just didnt see reading as much of a priority since the bf only visits like, once in a blue moon. plus, aidah is here for the weekend and its nice. makes the transition of having a bf around to no bf again much easier. but now my feet's back firmly on the ground. its back to reality and listening to nick jackson's lecture that i missed last week. no use in crying over spilt milk. i saw (the boyfren), i spent (money in shopping) and i conquered (reading week).

haha. where was the 'i saw, i spent, i conquered' thing from? some movie or a line in shakespear i tink. bah gtg spend time with aidah now. i promise myself once shes gone i'll go spend time with my law books.

much love,

its time!

the wait is over! my boyfren is here, safe in london! and in about 10minutes i'll be leaving the house to go and meet up with him in londres!!


im gonna go wake anisah up now. shes got a full length mirror. plus i need a pep talk from her. aaand most importantly she told me lastnite i can wake her up just this once, so i knw she wont be pissed.

much love,

aidilfitri happy time

friday nite the raya feel finally sunk in for real. me and housemates plus apip and rezzy had rendang and lemang for supper. we usually dont have supper, but like how we all justify that second (or third) helping during raya, 'hari raya bah. biar tia mkn banyak. nanti baru diet'. haha. speaking of which, i havent done yoga since forever and im hoping to get it done today. see if im still as flexible as ever.

aunty may and uncle mahri had their open house ystrdy, we came over on friday but that was just a get together for first day of raya. but i bonded enuff with their daughter fauzah to make her miss me enough hehe. and their girls are sooo adorable with their english accents. i like little girls! not in any perverse way but bcoz i dont haf sisters so i never knew the joy and pain of growing up with sisters. so there i was, happily plaiting fauzah's hair and layaning her questions and games. tiring, yes. but fun. i soo want kids!

on nother, totally unrelated story... i finally got my boots that i've been eying since wednesday!! there was a little love story in it, mind u, me and the boots being lovers. i've waited and waited for THREE WHOLE DAYS contemplating and thinking whether i shud buy them or not. then ystrdy i found a cheque from uni that i havent cashed in. i mean, that was surely a sign for me to get the boots? so me and apip took a little detour on the way to aunty may's place to get boots. i went in Jones but i couldnt find them! have they dissapeared? somebody bought them alredi? i was like 'noooooooo' and so upset was i that apip had to hold my hand all the way back to aunty may's place.

i cudnt stay depressed for long tho. there was fauzah and sarah to layan and i had to admit, they took my mind of my heartbroken heart. then apip sed she needed new batteries for her camera so off we went again in town. on the way back we passed jones and i was adamantly avoiding the shop window when apip exclaimed 'rabz! bukan atu kan ur boots?'

i cudnt believe my eyes! so i wnet into Jones and announced to a very surprised salesperson

can i please haf those boots (pointing at the window) in a size 4 please?'

im sure my glee and excitement were obvious. the guy said 'treating urself ey?'. i guess they dont get many students shopping there, seeing as the place is quite pricey. but thats why ive been thinking abt the boots so much, whether it was worht buying them or not.

but now, i have the boots safely snuggled in their box inside my closet! i'd like to thank nurairah afifah for her endless support in my endevour for the perfect boots and lending me the money since i left my handbag at aunty may's when we went out for batteries. i'd like to thank the Jones staff for accomodating the boots in my size and last but not least, the maker of the boots for making such a sexy pair.

dramatic much? haha i wish it'll get slightly chilly so i can wear my new boots. haha sudah atu! its been quite warm since first day of raya. faham jua english weather kan raya kali. haha.

on the flip side, i knw the weather's lovely and its raya, BUT i havent done any work at all for 2days in a row and i shud catch up on the work. only one more week till reading week (which i doubt i'll use for reading) and till my sayang comes!

raya, new boots and my sayang. u cudnt blame me for being annoyingly happy and hyper, cud u?

much love,

selamat hari raya

wishing everyone an eid mubarak and maaf zahir dan batin. selamat hari raya to my family, my sayang and my housemates, including bee, who's currently trying to memorise one raya song =) the house is filled with raya songs and everyone's chirpy and happy and the raya feel is slowly sinking in. not the i-wana-cry-and-be-home raya feel but the -im-thankful-for-wat-i-have raya feel.

i've declared today as my public holiday on the basis that its the first day of eid hehe so i didnt go to my lectures today. BUT i did go to my seminar coz attendance is taken.

however, i do miss raya in brunei. im still waiting for my family to call me. i miss the raya lights in brunei..



raya lights~



hehe. bah i wanna be all hyper and prance around the house now. i feel good. haha selamat hari raya again!

much love,
