:: resolution ::

I don't have one
I have many
I don't remember if I've fulfilled my last year's
But I do know that I have lived the last year well




I don't know if I can call myself successful
But I know I have made good choices that I'm satisfied to live with












I can't say that I'm fully content with my life now
Coz I always know that there are still so many rooms for improvement still..

I don't have to declare my resolutions here or anywhere..
But i do have to promise that I will work hard to get what I want and what i think I deserve for the year ahead.

2009 had been wonderful with strengthen family ties,




Had been joyful with new found friendships,




Had been meaningful with unspoken true love,




Had seen tears with the passing of a close relative..

But most of all 2009 had been well lived [pull stop]

I welcome you, the year 2010.
Another birthday and annyversary, InsyaAllah
Another international scientific presentation, InsyaAllah
The same but a brand new version of ME, ameen.





:: our shadows- they also miss each other.. Hope to see you again in 2010 ::

Cuti2 Australia..Awww!!!

Heya All!!!

Assalamualaikum.. Owh, malunya tak setart dgn semekom dulu.. Neway, time org Len maseh bercuti kismes lagi kat sinih, Ana maseh sabor bekerja.. Wpun kije tetap kije, hatiku maseh tetap mood cuti.. So entry Kali nih pon tentang cuti muti jugerk.. Hehehe..




-wajahku bersama hot chocolate di Perth international airport masa musim sejuk-

Saya student lagi.. Manada duit yg menimbun2 tuk bercuti luor negare nie.. Duit2 kesayanganku telah di simpan ditempat yg selamat..insyaAllah.. Supaya aku tidak boros berbelanja saqan.. Hehehehe..

Maka entry percutian ini adalah ttg holiday my family yg datang melawat diriku di Australia ini.. Cewwah.. Australia ni besar.. Ana tggl kat Perth je.. Cam kampung je perth nie.. Bandar2 Besar kat Australia ni adalah Melbourne, Sydney, gold coast.. etcetera etcetera etcetera ...Perth ranking nombo 4.. Bawak Perth ialah Adelaide. Ana penah jugerk gi Adelaide to bukan tuk bercuti.. Sebalikbya utk tujuan lain. Tp thats another story, kita story another timelah yer...

Keamanan sejagat kat Perth ni mmg tak dapat dinafikan.. Yelah, kawasan kampung.. Org sumer baek2 je.. Berhemah dijalan raya, bersopan santun sumerlah.. Mmg seswai sgt tuk org yg nak menuntut ilmu cam saya.. Tak seswai org cam saya ni belajar di bandar besar2 sbb dikhuatiri Akan leka bershopping..Kikikiki..pengalaman menghabeskan beribu2 ringgit masa j-card day dulu sudah cukop tuk membuktikan tahap shopping saya ni mmg level TERATAS!! Ngeh ngeh ngeh...(ketawa smbil tersengeh..otherwise xkan bleyh wat bunyik cenggitu kan...)

Mak datang melawat Ana bulan 6 tahun lepas. 6-6-09 kot. Smggu je.. Tp itulah smggu yg sggh membahagiakan skali.. ( korg ampunkanlah saya nyer ejaan yg ala2 SMS nih.. Mmg sedang memblogz dalam tepon pon...)

Australia ni terbalik-kot dgn US Dan UK.. Time dorg salji sejuk beku bulan disember tu, sini paneh tak bleh nak cakap.. Bulu kening pun pakat berpeluh tak henti2.. Wa cakap lu, utk mengeluarkan peluh Dari kening secara eksklusif memerlukan suhu luaran mencecah 45 degree celsius tau.. (ngahahahaha.. acah jer), tp manatau mmg betul kan.. =P...Malaysia tak penah paneh cam nie.. Mekah Dan Madinah adalah panassss cenggini..(ckp pasal mekah, Teringin lak nak gi wat umrah.. Ya Allah permudahkanlah.. Ameen)

So time US dan UK tu summer, kitorang kat sini musim sejuks.. Ada 's' kat belakang tu nak menunjukkan yg sejuk tu plural.. Wahahahaha.. Sgt sejuklah maknanya tue.. Tu yang Ana pakai baju sejuk dalam gamba tu.. Time tu tgh tggu org Dari Malaysia nak sampai sini.

Seminggu bukanlah lama sgt tuk melawat seluruh Perth nie. Bak melawat daerah Perth je pun tak sempat, apatah lagi nak melawat daerah2 berdekatan can swan valley or Margaret river.. Tp seminggu dapat jmpe Mak & adik3 ( 3 org adik ikut) adalah sgt menghappykan. Pengalaman yg tak dapat dilupakan. Tatau nak cakap betapa rindunya kat dorg time tu sbb masa tu Ana dah duk perg setagun tp sekali pon xpenah balik mesia lgsg..

Allrite..Mak stay kat umah Ana smggu tu sbb umah Ana pun Besar... Ada 3 bilik.. 2 tingkat.. Bolehlah nak menempatkan 6 org yg dtg tu:
Mak, ayah, adik3 org and mak ngah( kakak emak). [Mak ngah bukan interframe tau, dia mmg Mak jmput ikut sbb dia xpenah gi luar negara lagi ( selain gi hajilah)..]

Lgpun Mak & makngah sgt kamcheng.. Masa Mak muda2 dulu, time baru clash ngan Abah, sblm Mak kawen ngan ayah, Mak ngah yg byk tolong Mak..owh, namun Ana bukanla nak bincangkan hal dolu2 tu skrg..this is suppose to be a happy entry ok..=^.^=

Spjg kat sini ayah sewa kreta No Bird.. Lawak giller Nama kete sewa.. Murah je 25 dollar sehari.. Keretanya pon comeyl je.. Toyota Yaris..ayah sgtlah hepi sbb dapat bersporty sekejap.. Kat mesia dia tak dapat nak naik kete sporty2 nie.. naik family car yg gedabak tu je.. Naza Ria..kikiki.. Ayahku yg sgt kelakar..





Sesampai kat umah Ana ktorg gi shopping kat Coles Claremont Quarter.. Coles nie cam shopping kat jusco lah kot.. Dalam gambar tu Mak (tudung kelabu) Dan Ana (tudung pink) tgh mambaca ingredient kat roti.. Mak ngah sedang memerhatikan Kami dgn khusyuknya... Bukan sng nak beli roti tau.. Ada byk benda xhalal yg org kilang tu letak nak bagi roti tu lembut dan sedap.. Kita sbg pembeli kenela berhati2...




Pas dah makan sarapan sandwich sardin buatan Mak n makngah yg tatau naper rasa sedapnya lain macam.. Hehehe.. Ana pun bw dorg gi jenjalan kat city of Perth. Tmpt shopping yg terkemuka kt sinih.
Nampak tak betapa ramainya org tgh soping saqan.. Hohohoho..Mak pusing 3-4 department store besar2 cam coles, myers, David jones, target.. Tp tak jumpe apa yg dia hendak.. Kami pun ikut je lah.. Smntara tu Mak ngah pakat beli coklat byk2...




Dah puas shopping di siang hari, malamnya hubby cadang bawak family Ana gi makan kat luar.. Penat weyh nak masak... Kitorg makan kat restoran Batavia.. Restoran Indonesia. Kat sini ada gak ayam penyet.. Tp our all tine favourite meal adalah Nasik Kuning Komplit.. Cedap cangat.. Kalo nak tau dtg ar sinih.. Ana bw jenjalan ok..blanja nasi kuning tu skali..

Haa dalam gamba tu, my bro Muhammad Aiman Zulkafli sdg menunggu menu yg diorder nye.. Da lapa sgt ar tue.. Kikiki.. Mak ngan Mak ngah tgh bising2 mempertikaikan ke"halal"an kedai ni.. Puasla Ana ensure yg kedai ni halal.. Sian Pak cik yg jual tu.. Tulah saper suh muka awak cam cina? Seb bek tukang masak n tukang hidang pompuan indon bertudung lagi solehah..kikiki..




Esoknya jenjalan kat swan bell.. Malam pun gi swan bell juga.. Naik eyes on Perth.. Yg kat titiwangsa tu tak naik pun, yg kat Perth pula ktorg sibuk nk naik.








Wajah2 eksaited adik2 ku.. Omar, Aiman Dan Rina. Lampu hijau kat belakang tu adalah bell tower..lawa ek pemandangan bandar Perth wktu mlm..












Time dorg bergamba kt pantai cottesloe ni Ana duk dalam kete je.. Hari tu Ada meeting ngan supervisor.. Padahal masa tu Ana cuti sbb baru abes hanta thesis master.. So takder mood nak bergambar.. Lagipun time tu pukul 7 pg.. Sejuk giler kat pantai. Ana yg duk dalam kete pon sejuk, dorg yg duk posing tu sumenye tgh menggigil.. Naseb bek photographer cekap. Tak nampak Gigi masing2 bergetar. Hehehehe..

Sunyisssssss sgt!!!

We arrived at the department at around 10am. There were few cars parked at the department's parking lot. It means nothig though.. Probably those cars belong to holiday goers that usually have picnic at Matilda Bay during that hour..

The department was very quiet. Eerily quiet. It is amazing that in that kind if silence, the sound of wind blowing as the automatic sliding door closed can give you goosebumps. But I was not alone. My hubby was with me all the times.

He iniially only wanted to help me settle down in the office and will go home afterwards but with the eery silence and no corridor light switched on he felt that I should not be left alone. He was right.

So I did my microscope work for 3 hours non stop. Not much to done in 3 hours but at least I did something. Hubby watched war movie on his iPhone to pass the time.

When I finished, I took some pictures of us Chilling out, if you can say so... In the microscope room. We love it there coz of the air condition. Why? Coz outside is crazy hot with temperature reaching 39 degree celsius ar the moment...fuh!!!





Thanks temankan Ana tadi.. Boleh teman kan Ana lagi pasnie..





Aaa berposing dgn microskop Besar... Ngahahaha..

Kerja time org Len cuti

Pagi ni bangun awal sket sbb hari isnin kene gi kerja. Buwek!! Tak aci btol.. Org len dpt cuti, Ana sowang je keje..hurm, Ingat nak wat pilates dulu tp cam dah tak sempat je.. Balik nanti baru buat lah. Tp sempat plak Ana intai2 harga mesin eliptical kat Internet.. Nak beli ke tak? Aaahh nantilah baru pikir.

Hari ni if bank westpac bukak ingat nak gi bayar deposit rumah percutian kat Claremont tulah.hurm, takut if lambat bayar nanti tuan rumah bagi kat org lain pulak.. Dah la Susah mencarinya.. Takkan nak senang2 lepaskan kat org lain pulak kan...rumah ni tuk Mak n family member yg lain. Dorg nk dtg sini musim sejuk nnti.. Bulan 6 tawun depan. Sbb ramai yg nak dtg, tpaksa Cari rumah lain.. Susah ar kalau Sumer org nak duk kat umah Ana.. Nak menjaga auratnya sgt melecehkan.. Kesian kat Rina nak jg auratnya ngan hubby ana.. And kesian jugak kat Mak ngah (kakak emak) sbb kene jg aurat ngan ayah tiri Ana...so penyelesaian terbaik... Cari rumah lain yg Besar Dan byk bilik supaya at least masa nak tido dorg tak perlu bertudung..

Last year Mak n family yg lain dtg jugak masa musim sejuk.. Masa tu Ana cuti. Dorg dtg smggu je time tu.. Ayah busy sgt.. Dia kan branch manager bank Islam cwgn selayang... Nak cuti sket pun Susah.. Tak bleh harapla assisstant dia tuh..

Tp sbb smggu je smpt shopping je la. Xsmpt nk gi tmpt2 menarik sgt. Zoo pergilah sbb nk tgk kangaroo n koala sgt.. Itu jelah kot.. Hari2 Len samada lepak kat pantai atau kat shopping complex.. Pantai da tak heran da sbb rumah Ana ni tepi pantai.. Tp dorg yg nak amik gmba sgt kat pantai Ana bawak jugaklah.. Bukan bleh Mandi manda pun.. Sejuk giller!! Suhu time tuh 6 degree celsius je tau..

Anyway entry ni sama skali bukan pasal percutian tawun lepas, tp adalah ttg hakikat yg saga kene kerja time org Len cuti.. Xmas cuti 2 mggu kt sinih.. Tp gue amik cuti 3 hari jer.. Hari ni smbg keje. Takperlah kan.. Asalkan keje siap sudahlah.. At least happy sket tak ramai org kat fakulti tu.. Kalau ramai org tp Sumer mabuk n buat bising nak buat apa kan..

Smntara cuti nih Ana amik gmbar campus.. Kwsn berpagar ni tmot student minum beer beramai2.. Ada ke geng2 non Muslim ni ajak Ana lepak kat situ? Haramla Ana nak gi sana.








Rasanya dorg letak pagar bb takut budak2 yg mabuk gi hentak org2 lain yg Jalan kat tepi2 tu kot.





Ni lah campus.. Cantik je biker takder org.. Kalau time busy penuh ngan org duk lepak2 kat Padang tu..







Oraitt Ana nak pen off dulu.. Time tuk gi keje.. Hahaha dah kul 9 ke.. Takper Biar lmbt asalkan slmt.. Hohoho

Food, glorious food

Ahah, our meals today had been salad, more salad, tau fu fah,and a bit of couscous...




The salad was rich in varieties. It was a combination of lettuce, baby spinach, blueberries and tomatoes put together lazily in a bowl. Not to forget crunchy walnuts and cashews. Chicken balls provided the animal based protein in this salad. I also added some chopped crabsticks to add a little bit of variations to the taste. Served with my homemade modified Dijon mustard dressing..
Just can't get enough...







Today's highly vege based meals are most probably a compensation to the heavy dinner we had last
night encompassing 2 large lobsters and a dozen of scrumptio-licious baked oysters..
Nyum!!! So we are officially giving our digestive systems the holiday it desperately needs.

Room improvement

It's gonna be a Cheerfully short entry. Remember I told you that we bought a new airbed? It is now installed! My bed looks as good as new.. It feels as good as new too. I bet some ofbyou might be wondering about it's external appearance.. Knowing me, I am never half hearted when it comes to interior decoration... I think these pictures speak for themselves.






That's the bed. Queen size. Blue cotton slipcover. Pushed all the way to the window... The breeze from the nearby sea eases the hot summer afternoon.








Peeking outside the window, I could see my hubby working on his laptop.. Probably downloading something..

All pictures taken from iPhone 3GS 3 MP camera phone... And edited using photoforge and photodaily applications.
So, I'm sorry for the blurry, less-than-perfect photos...

Till then =^.^=

Boxing day shopping

All these while we have been sleeping on 2 airbeds pile on top of each other making a descent queen sized bed. Despite being extremely particular with the interior of my temporary student accommodation right here in Perth, I don't really mind having to sleep on airbeds a long as it provides the neccessary comfort needed for a good night sleep and it looks like a bed.

But the down side of having airbeds is that it'll only last a year at most. The one that I have desperately needs a replacement so on boxing day (26-12-09), we went out for a typical boxing day shopping in Garden City.

Honestly, I didn't anticipate anything interesting. It was just us going out on a typical shopping. But it turned out awesome.. Hehehehe. The place was crowded with people looking for bargains. And that means trying to look for a parking spot was a chore. I saw loads of Asians buying large stuffs in boxes.. Hurm, probably electrical goods or furnitures...

Well eventhough I know I will not enjoy this particular shopping trip owing to the crowd, nontheless it was necessary. I need a new air bed., hahahahaha. The whole trip turned out to be ok actually..

Firstly becoz I bought myself a new nighties from Peter Alexander!!! I am an absolute nighties fan. Stretchable cottons are my fav but they are usually painfully high priced., especially from Peter Alexander. But because it was boxing day, I was lucky to strike a bargain price of upto 50% off. I was plain 'ol lucky, I guess..




It was such a charming
dress. Peachy pink i colour, with ruffles, very girly..Bought it from David jones, though.. I should just go to the boutique but I was in a hurry. While hurrying home, guess who I bumped into? Out of so many people in this world I bumped into our previous Prime Minister Pak Lah.. Lol!!! I guess everyone loves boxing day shopping..=^.^=
