Before balik (Part 1)

The last few days before berangkat ke London bravisnya busy - lots of dates :P sedih lah esp. to those yg graduating this year or even, students MA yg i got close too..I still can't believe a year is gone already and that i'm actually just a few days away, from boarding the plane back to Brunei.

Rewind balik ahh --

Hmm on the 23rd, went to the Falmouth golf club with durang Nadia and Robert..dari masa atu dah ada ingin kan golfing, ani bru tah kesampaian. Falmouth golf club is located near my fav. beach in Falmouth - Swanpool :D which is quite far from town so we took a taxi there--- We didn't do like golf banar2 lah, driving saja and we end up staying for about 2 hours, nda branti memukul golf balls saja hahahaha bangkak tarus tangan and sakit my back aftr that..tapinya SIOKKKK and the view is absolutely breathtaking, baik jua the weather hot and sunny, kalau nda, it would be a terrible golfing session..

Robert corrected my grip and help me with my swings -- banar2 mcm coach bah ia ah, and oh we used his golf clubs - taylor-made yoo..mahal kali ah, i mean for a beginner, its kinda silly to purchase expensive clubs..i think so plang, ur most welcome to disagree.

Anyways was suppose to meet up with the girls for the last time at Swanpool for serious 'beach-ing' session :) so made our way back on foot..then kami kelaparan so we makan at this amazing seafood restaurant which overlooks the beach :D lawaaaaa the view..arghhhh i will seriously miss the view..

The girls came- rob left - spent 2 hour at the beach, makan Cornish ice-cream :D NYAMAN--- Lapas tu, ran back to town to jumpa Adarsh, i was 30-mins late due to the blister i got from walking too much..baik jua ia ani penyabar, i felt bad though making him wait for so long..yg paling menyasakkan my phone died arghhhh people been telling me to get rid of it and get a new one-- where got money??? and besides, i like it-- i just need to remember to recharge it.. talk about so many things with Adarsh at Spoons -- we even talked about my fav. 'ism' in the world = POST-COLONIALISM :)

It was hard to say goodbye lah..hopefully we will get to see one another lagi..this goes out to all the wonderful people i met in Uni --

Balik rumah at 9ish-- tarus kana tagur oleh my housemates coz i haven't finish packing, cleaning my food items, cleaning my room, drying my clothes arghhhhh hahahaha so like i spent from then on til 2 am just doing all that.. my train to London left like at 9 plus the next morning, i was sooo tired..

Nadia also ke London that morning coz we planning to hang out with Clarisse and her bf before ia balik ke Singapore--

eh sambung next one lah--

Exams and the drama that comes with it

Its 6.11 pm and i'm sitting here - updating my blog in someone else's house :p

my last exam was on last thursday - the paper that we dreaded the most because instead of one essay in 2 hours, we have to write 2 essays for this one particular paper which if its badly enough is the Romanticism paper..but Alhamdulillah, whatever i studied for..came out and was over the moon about it,tapinya kata orang..jgn terlalu confident krg lain jadinya..

Ada jua the fun bits about exam period ani -- esp. if you are with the craziest of people :) for the past 2 weeks of exam, me and my kengkawan blajar di library..kdg2 lama bravis, kdg2 kjap sja but kan its the effort and niat that counts what?..we even ordered chinese one time hahahahah laparz yooo..a day before our last exam, we went to this free concert thingy at the Daphne du Maurier literature festival in Fowey--

IT WAS AWESOMEEEE :D we get to see this amazing british folk singer, Seth Lakeman live and seriously, the night was one that i think i will remember for ages--- the music, the atmosphere, location and of course, the people im with make it a great night for me..

it is kinda sad that there will be no more revision sessions in the library next year..until we are writing our dissertation in our 2nd term coz we don't have any more exams for our 3rd year..

so yes, said plenty of goodbyes and 'hope you have a great summer' to a number of close friends that day and at night, had a surprise advanced bday thing for Felix --- i don't want to say it coz mcm capi2 but its funny really..Nadia & Clare baked a cake shaped like that of a male private part, complete with whipped cream to symbolise..ehem ehem hahaha omg, the look on his face was sooo cali..then malamnya, had my 2nd and somehow last night out with the girls..

i don't think if i should happy about this but smua orang mcm protective of me these days -- i like though that feeling of being taken care of but kdg2, i'm like 'hello, we are of the same age..'..can't deny though im pretty naive in lots of things -- like dating :p just to name a few, not that im considering it..

anywaaayyys baked a choc cheesecake with Jenny just now and atm, m waiting for the boys to be ready so we can go for dinner at 7..

and OH OH
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HJH HAZIRAH HM SALLEH :D yg ke 20+ hahahaha

It is my duty, ain't it? to promote this campus to other prospective International students..I mean, since i currently hold the position for being the Exeter Co-chair for the society and all.. the thing is that i made peace with the things that disappoint me about this campus-- i don't know if others ever will, they would have to eventually..

anyways, we had a photo shoot session for the International prospectus for the cornwall campus last wednesday :) it was tiring, but fun..i get to meet more internationals whom i haven't met before- well 3 of them anyways, the rest i've met before the session..we met up at 9 am arh main reception area on campus, so i had to run to the bus stop at 8.26..coz i stupidly woke up late, around 7.30..i didn't even have time for breakfast..

i felt so under dress that day haha just coz the other girl who's in the photo shoot til afternoon was wearing full-on makeup and body-fitting clothes..she's nice though and pretty friendly..we went around campus til 1-ish, then made our way into town and was treated to lunch and Roskilly's ice-cream..AMAZING :) people who haven't tried cornish ice-cream r missing out..so come and visit me here, will you? ;)

our last location was at Gylly beach :D the sun was out, hues of blues everywhere..ahhhh what a life, i wish i have a car here..so i can go to the beach whenever i feel like it..anyways we had to do this photo shoot of us playing in the water..it was freezinggg..

started at 9 am, finished at 3 pm..a whole day of revision gone, but hey, i had fun :) even though it was pretty tiring n longggg...

and oh oh i invited the girls from my course over for lunch yesterday..made them Nasi lemak though i so failed at making my rice fluffy.it was a tad dry and i felt really bad at making them eat it..hmm but my prawn sambal rules :) well..it rules according to me plang..maybe its not that good ehh? we had a really good time, just hanging out..forgetting for awhile that we have exams next week.. then Lucinda drove us all to campus for some hard core library session..i am so going to miss them over summer..esp. Addy from the 'hood, the catholic girl with a crazy sense of humour..hahaha

i'm all freaked out now about exams...please just let me get a 60 or a 64 at most..i kept on getting 58 for my exams, its not that impressive..i want a 60!!! Mudah2an tah ada rezki this time around..

JIA YOU!!!! to all yg having exams soon..we can do this!! 2 weeks til home :D

Night of My life- Damien Leith

Here we are,

Shooting stars,

Renting time in someone else's space

So unsure

Afraid to fall

I'm standing here

A little scared

But I don't care

'Cos this kind of moment, is only on loan and

I wanna remember the look in your eyes

When it's all over I want you to know that I was with you when I

Had the night of my life...(X2)

So don't let go

You never know

Maybe your whole life's about to change

So let's hold on

Until it's gone

Nothing's made to last forever

Who knows whether

This kind of moment is only on loan and

Sometimes you don't know until it passes you by

And when it's all over I want you to know that I was with you when I

Had the night of my life

Maybe this whole thing comes right down to faith,

And every choice that we think that we make

Has put us right here together

I feel like a 13 year old all over again =) writing down lyrics of my fav songs, arh my diary..then write little notes or doodles at the side. Well, i didn't intend to start doing that on my blog BUT somehow tadi when this song was playing on my playlist- it brought back some good memories of late 2006.

It was the finals of Australian Idol 2006 and i was in Brisbane with my little sister, visiting my mum who was graduating that year. Anyways, we are supposed to watch the finals of AI at my mum punya kawan punya apartment which she pinjamkan to one of their friends..we had beard papa's cream puffs and ordered pizza halal not far from the apartment..durang tinggal di city Brisbane itself, in the CBD area..it was quite a new experience for me =) the noise, the smell, the people and ohh hahaha of course the shops and oh yea i had my first Borders crush there..

this song reminds me of that night-- the city- and that 17 year old version of me..hmm =) i think i would like to put this song in the list of wedding songs =) HAHAHAH remember fellow Paradise Rose?!?! kitani discussing pasal wedding songs, after ordering from either Ideal or McD tu or Jollibee..soooo cali, i still have the list btw arh my multiply blog..

Pokoknya, this song is sweet =) sometimes in life, you found yourself in a perfect moment yg mcm surreal rasanya..and that moment could not be more sweeter, when you are with the right person..

ahhh sorry, i've been quite jiwang lately..its a bit annoying tbh..hehehe//

Bahh kan blajar ku- 10 more days til exams--- 30 days til Home Insyallah..
