THEY'RE HERE!!!!

Yesterday evening Lisa, Shafiq and Daddy arrived in good ol' Dunedin. It was so funny because when Lisa texted me telling me to get ready, Debbie, Lily and I were at MacDonalds getting a take away since Debbie can't really cook now that the kitchen is undergoing renovations.

I met them at the Motel and Lisa was laughing at me saying, "Ka.Sha, what happened to your face?" Even Daddy was like, "Bangkak jua your face. What did you do?"
Well, let me keep things short...I was on a mountain bike trail going downhill, my handlebar got caught onto a tree, I flew off still holding on to the bike and scratched the leftside of my face, both arms and legs and bruised myself EVERYWHERE! It was sooo fun (biking, I mean). The falling down part....well, not so much:P
Cromwell and Wanaka Trip still to blog about:P Will post up some pictures some time next week:P

Today, I have Lisa in my room fast asleep. She was so funny asking me if ada fan or something because she felt hot with 3 blankets. We ended up sleeping with just 1 which has 2 blankets in it. She was saying the Kitchen was so cold lastnight and asking me how it's possible when there's no aircon or fan. Not sure what we'll do today since I just found out the Chocolate factory is closed today. Might go sight-seeing or something. So exciting!!!

I love and miss everyone!!!!

When it's over

Tomorrow's the last day of uni. Finally? Not really. Have all that work to do during the break.. seriously not looking forward to it.

But I DO have something to post though. Last night, the Islamic Society held an Eid Party:) It was SO hectic in the beginning, i thought it was going to be a complete flop and that people wouldn't come. But Alhamdullilah:) Slowly people came and soon enough, the place was filled!

This should really be a picture post, so I'll leave it to be one:) BUT, before i do, we had some Nasyeds by Al-Furqan. I think that's what they're called. They're pretty big here within the Muslim communities apparently. I guess i need to start listening to some nasyeeds. We all had a Muslim stand-up comedian come called Prince Abdi. He was GOOD. Need to get the video off one of the sisters...

Enjoy:)

I love and miss you all!

PS: Shaz, I'm very jealous that you're going to see dad in a few hours!

A toute l'heure~

Happy Birthday Mummy Dearest:)

The title says it all:) Though, i'm pretty sure this post will be dated 7th Dec because the settings are on Brunei time... ah wells~

Happy Birthday Mumsy:)

You've no idea how proud i am to be your daughter. You've given us so much love and support all these years. We can always count on you. Thank you for pushing us to do our best in every thing and mostly just giving us so much love:)

Also, since we're on birthdays, it's Aunty Vivi's and Chien's bdays:) So, Happy Birthday to the both of you:) Aunty Vivi, I'm sure you're missing your daughter at the moment. She's all the way in Toronto. Hope both of you have a grrrrrrrreat one this year:)

Lalala. Haven't been upto much. The Bruneians had a tahlil last night. For the first time in a very long time... i pakai tudong and jubah:) I missed those crazy people. The food was great:) When they've posted up photos on facebook, i shall steal them and post them up here. But for your amusement, here's me:

my housemates, Halima and Nawal tried to convince me to start wearing the hijab:P nice try girls. Not my time, yet.

One more week of uni to go:) sigh. loads of work to do during the Winter hols. BIGGER sigh.

A toute l'heure~

Back from London~

Okay, so I missed most.. if not, all of my uni this week. I excused myself on Monday, left on Tuesday.. planned on coming back on Wednesday in the morning and go to my lecture late... but skipped it instead.. had second thoughts about coming back on Wed. So, decided to miss Thursday (today) because I know what the class would be doing in the lecture. And tomorrow? A non-compulsory music concert.. but I'm going anyways. I need to go and practice piano.

So what happened? loads:) I'm so happy I went up to LDN:) I hadn't realised how much I missed the buzzing noises kids make. Too used to the quite of my bedroom and hurried steps of uni students to get to their lecs or make their way home from them.

Tuesday 1 Dec

We had fun:) Waited for Ka Nina and Fiqah at Waterloo when I arrived on Tuesday. We then made our way to Gloucester Rd to look for Aunty Mimi's hotel. Damn, we didn't know what the hell she was saying to us... All three of us heard some along the lines of "Siputdeen" "Coffeebean" "Chepadeen".. it was "Citadine" -.- seriously, we need to get our ears checked, LOL. But Alhamdullillah, we finally found it:) and saw Mama:) and every one else:) headed out to Hyde Park for their Winter Wonderland. It's so pretty. Going back again next week with Ka Nina to go on the rides:D nyahahah~

Wednesday 2 Dec

Us girls were REALLY bored. Just this one photo is enough to get you thinking... I swear, we don't know how we did it.. but, we did. Fiqah's made a video of us.. you should ask her about it:P We stayed at Citadine that night. didn't have the best sleep though. They were so jetlagged... they weren't really sleeping at the correct times.. i kept waking up as well. Ka Nina and I watched Pearl Harbour on TV. Mama was half awake- half asleep... so she intervened every once in a while, lol.

Thursday 3 Dec

Ka Nina and I sent Fiqah to the airport, went back to the hotel to find the rooms empty:S haha. We got worried coz both of our phone batteries died so we couldn't contact aunty mimi at all! so we just stayed in the lobby hoping to see them some how. true enough, we did, lol.

We said our good byes to them and straight after that, Ka and I went to Malaysian Halls for some malay food and after that, we headed off to the underground. We were SO tired. We almost missed our stop. I zoned out thinking about when I should go practice piano because on Monday, I've a keyboard class and we all have to play something. After i realise the train had stopped for quite some time.. we were already at our stop! Ka Nina was sleeping.. I panicked and shouted "EH KA!" and we ran off the train coz it was about to go off.. managed to leave our kantong there too -.- but luckily a lady grabbed it and handed it to us quickly.

So now, I'm in Soton.. too tired to think about work.. so i'm blogging, lol. not even hungry enough to eat. I want water... hmmm, will get that later i suppose, haha. I guess I should be looking at my assignments or practice some conducting.

A toute l'heure~

Sofie:)

Off to London...

I'm working against the clock here, lol. I've to be at my piano class in less than 30 mins... but...

Today's the day! -Dolmio

Halima kept saying that coz i made bolognaise last night:P Apparently it's Dolmio's catch phrase. cute.

Mama and the Shahminan's are here=) Going to go rush off after my piano lesson and running an errand. Wish i didn't have to come back home first though. sigh*

Will have many many photos insyAllah when i get back=) feeling kinda badass for skipping a lecture today but heck.. I've the lecture notes already. I'll read it in my own time=)

A toute l'heure~

Sofie:)

Eid'Il Adha:)

This post is late. Obviously. But better late than never right? So yes,

Happy Eid'Il Adha

Yes, didn't do much. Went to pray with Halima and Nawal. Halima made us all dress up.. in skirts:P goodness... but heck, we all made the effort to look nice atleast. ISoc will be having a celebration for it in 2 weeks time. Hopefully i'll get some good photos from that:)

ALSO, I've been told that the Shazali household has officially moved to Tanjong Nangka. I'm STILL waiting for the internet to be up and running there to have a sneak peek at the house. Can't wait to go home! in what? 7-8 months time? LOL. Bersemangat kan balik~

Things to look forward to next week?

1. Mama and the Shahminan's on wednesday
2. Handing in my MANG 2011 Coursework assignment by Friday
3. Aimen's get-together on Friday
4. BruSton Tahlil on Saturday
5. POSSIBLY Ice Skating on Sunday?

Yup, and it's also the penultimate week of uni. So much to do, so little time. I'm drastically procrastinating atm. Mainly because i'm not feeling well. I've been LemSipping throughout the week:( Not fun. My rubbish bin in my room is filled with mucus-contaminated tissues.. which needs to be thrown away soon... despite me emptying out my bin yesterday:S

Anyways, I'm going to go make a list of things to do work-wise for me to start on and slowly start checking my list:) I need to feel good about myself.

Life... oh, life....

A toute l'heure~

I'm Free!!!

School's out! Summertime....It's my vacation *sings to High School Musical's Summertime*

"I'm freee!!! I'm freee!!", is really what I should be saying. But those words aren't really ringing in my ears just yet.

Yesterday I sat my very last exam, which was physics and today...well, lets just say I'm doing abit of 'spring cleaning'.

I can't begin to tell you guys how dead bored I am not doing anything, i.e, studying or doing homework or even going to school. It's sooooo boring. No wonder someone invented 'School'. hahaha.

I'm just chatting to kaka now. It's 11.16am here and I've already done my washing, cleaned and vaccuumed my room, clean the living room and hang out the washing. So crazy! Haiya~

I can't wait for the family to be here. Counting the days! Woohoo!!
I love and miss you all!

Will be going camping this weekend. So excited about that. Will upload photos:D

Love you!
