Conference at Langkawi

11th till 13th April - I have attend a conference at Langkawi..since I never leave Hasya even for a day, so I decided to bring her along..when I talk about bring her along, it means tok, tokwan and her maksu will tag along too..hehe

Dr N and Dr F are sooo nice and I feel lucky to have them as my SV..Dr F keep pushing me to write paper for that conference and Dr N provide me with free accommodation and told me not to worry about conference fees, only bother about my paper and the presentation.

it took me about 2 weeks to complete the paper, Dr F did the review and Dr N settled the admin stuff..once again, Allah ease my path..Hasya was soo behave, she enjoy riding the ferry and sleep peacefully..and the presentation went well..now I get addicted to conference..lol

well, worried about the presentation is one thing, worried about Hasya is another thing..but she's fine..really fine..Alhamdulillah

now, Literature Review time..I try to be consistent in reading and writing 6 hours daily and library has become my second home! tomorrow will be my appointment with librarian for individual consultation on how to find articles and journals for my research..Hasya, stay dgn tok and tokwan okeh!

minggu ketiga PhD

sekarang dah masuk minggu ketiga cik noni jadi student..still in blurrr mode, tapiiii supervisor dah macam masuk gear 5..

from my observation, PhD is like another world..nothing near to Degree or Master..totally different..

tetiba rindu zaman degree di UIA, walking leisurely to class with Mama Na, Huda, Ifah..yang lain pergi class naik motor, tak geng..hahah

n i miss durham too..walk to bus stop, wait for the bus dalam keadaan menggigil..membebel dgn sabrina sbb bas lambat..n how we wish ada orang datang tumpangkan kitorg ke kelas..rindu!

and now, its like a lonely battle of war...the only friends I have are my sv..Dr F and Dr N..pegi uni, jumpa both of them, then discuss, then balik

9.30pm..tengah standby depan laptop juz in case my sv call request to make any changes to the proposal..oh ya, kitorg in a process to apply grant..tonight is the due date..pray that our application will b approved ya!

..after 2 years

hellooooo everyone!!!

ohho..it's been two years this blog bersawang..it's not like I super damn busy, no no..it juz I don't have any interesting story to share..

ok, let's start again from now on ya..

my life at a glance...
first, i already have a baby..yahooo!!! eh, Alhamdulillah..yes, that is the best part of my life..seriously
second, i quit TM..another best part as well..thanks TM  for the bitter sweet 7 years memories that we shared..i treasure so much
third, i further PhD..this is the process of 'sedang merialisasikan mimpinya satu-persatu' as u can read at your right side..

ok, I'll try to write every day, eh no, once a week, no,,once a month..ermm, regularly..i'll find time

now, susu time for Hasya..bye!

the unorganized me...

1. interview MARA

a day before interview, baru sibuk nak organize all the certificates..then baru perasan sijil SPM and PMR hilang..ciss ciss..luckily interview was at 2pm, so pegi Kementerian Pelajaran awal pagi mintak salinan sijil..nasib baik dalam tempoh sejam dah siap..then sibuk kacau member kat government agency to certify all certs. settle all those things at 11am..interview kat KL which took about 1 hour journey..tu pun kalau tak jem..pukul 1230pm baru keluar rumah..130pm sibuk cari parking which was giler punya susah..dah sepuluh minit pusing cari parking je..150pm baru sampai depan pintu MARA..bercakap dengan receptionist dalam keadaan tercungap-cungap..calon lain sibuk buat last preparation termasuk menghafal saper Ketua Pengarah MARA..but me?? sibuk tenangkan hati sendiri..hadoihhh

2. from KL to UK

visa siap 3hari sebelum terbang..cuak mak noks

hari nak ke UK..flight pukul 545pm from KLIA..pagi tu sibuk kemas barang sebab kena kosongkan bilik sewa..1230pm still lagi duk menyapu rumah and mengemas apa yang patut..instead of excited nak pegi UK, i more felt like want to settle everything cepat2..penatttt!!
sampai KLIA awal..Alhamdulillah I didn't cause any problem here..but have to wait for Sabrina who have a problem with her luggage..aku ni punya la ignorant bole rileks2 lagi tak masuk departure hall even though Sabrina dah pesan suruh masuk dulu..insist jugak nak tunggu dia..dia settle everything at 515pm..another 30mins to go..al-kisahnya, duduk je kt dlm kapal terbang, terus kapal terbang berlepas..we're the last passenger you know!! nasib baik tak kena tinggal..

3. naik cruise to Amsterdam

i did the booking for me and my friends..so everybody rely on me..sampai dekat counter, he double check our tickets...
' Miss, your travel date is tomorrow..not today'
ok, i salah tarikh..maluuuuu!!! seharian aku kena gelak dengan Abg Wan..ciss!!

hari nak balik ke Newcastle from Amsterdam, we should be on the cruise latest by 430pm..bus was provided at Amsterdam city..tapiiii kitorang terlepas bas tu sebab lambat sampai..so kena amek teksi..tengok jam dah pun 420pm..sampai je kat cruise dah 445pm which I was pretty sure we didn't make it...tapiii nak dijadikan cerita, ada sorang makcik ni hilang passport..so dah delay kat situ..thanks aunty sebabkan hilang passport..kalau tak, bye cruise...

4. trip to Korea

a week before fly, tergerak nak cari passport..cari punya cari tak jumpa..siap google macam mana nk buat kalo passport hilang..kena buat police report la, angkat sumpah la which will takes 5 working days..cuak and  almost nak nangis..then call mak nak mengadu, sekali mak cakap my passport ada kat rumah Kedah..fuhh legaaa..so abah tolong poskan..tq abah!

a day before fly, baru ku tahu kena renew passport if the expiry date less than 6 month..korang tau ke? nasib baik Ana bagitau..kalo tak, tak sampai dah Korea..ciss, kalau ku tahu, tak payah nak drama bagai cari passport tak jumpa
petang tu jugak pegi Imigresen, tapiiii..bole la time tu system off..sepanjang hari tu semua passport application can't be processed.

hari nak fly, passport tak renew lagi..flight 1am..so paginya, 730am dah ada depan imigresen Putrajaya..tanya receptionist bole tak siap hari yang sama, saya nk fly malam ni ni..tau aper Encik tu cakap? 'awak doa je la banyak2 ye'..baiklahhhh, saya doa...Alhamdulillah system dah ok..legaaa!!!! sejam passport siap!! wuhuuu..

5. esok nak ke Brunei

harini tak check in lagi..sebab passport tinggal kat rumah..nak check in kat rumah, printer pulak tak der..haruskah cuak jugak?!

ni belum lagi masuk cerita aku sesat kat UK dulu for 3hours sorang2, belum cerita drive sorang2 balik Kedah sehelai sepinggang dengan handphone off and macam-macam lagi laa..

what's wrong with me????

tukar kerja

al-kisahnya, aku dah tukar kerja..tapi bukan la kerja baru sangat pun..still within TM jugak..cumanya dulu di Cyberjaya, sekarang di KL..dulu anak syarikat, sekarang ibu pejabat..tu jer la pun

tapiiiii

tak best!!! sebab, kena tempuh jem tiap-tiap hari..bayar tol, bayar parking..bila nak menyimpan???

satu je yang best..dah tak buat development..bye programming..tataaaaa :D

p/s: better pindah rumah la kan??

sebab...

Ada waktu, apa yang aku pilih untuk lalui, tidak bersebab. Tiada. 
Aku putuskan untuk laluinya sahaja. Redah. 

Mungkin dalam melaluinya itu, aku akan jumpa sebabnya. 
Mungkin. 

Tapi kalau sebabnya aku tak jumpa, juga.

Bermakna. 
Ia. 
Memang. 
Tidak. 
Bersebab.

Sebab aku pilih untuk melaluinya untuk berada di sana.
Dan bukan disini. 

Jadi jangan tanyalah kenapa aku tiada di sini. 
Kerana aku pilih untuk berada disana.

Sebab?

trip to Korea

finally..yeah finallyyyyy!!! cik Noni sampai jugak ke Korea..*lompat bintang!!!*

bertemankan adik my bestfriend, Ani..we both have enjoyed Seoul for a week...
kitorang pergi 23rd till 29th March..punyerlah berhati-hati pilih tarikh so that tak kena time winter, but then still sejuk jugak..baru je jejak kaki kat Incheon Airport, suhu dah -2..hambek ko!

cukuplah setahun kesejukan di Durham dulu..kalau boleh dah tak nak merasa winter dekat mana-mana negara lagi dah..huhu

1st Day
--------

sampai je airport, dalam kebingungan nak cari subway, tetiba ternampak my neighbour depan mata..fuhh, legaaa yang amat!! thank you Lan..sanggup ponteng seminar semata-mata nak jemput Kak Nurul kat airport..terharuuu!!!!

1st thing korang kena buat bila sampai kat airport, silalah beli T-Money card to make your travel easier..naik subway, bus and taxi, touch card tu je..senang kan?

beware, Korea ni kan tak pakai english sangat..so pandai2lah korang cari tourist information center kalau nak tanya pape..kalau tak jumpa, carila muka2 yang agak2 macam budak university, insyaAllah diorang bole speaking..kalau ahjumma or ahjussi, dorang akan explain secara panjang lebar dalam bahasa diorang..melangut la korang kat situ..haha

ok, back to my journey..I have booked guesthouse at Itaewon which takes about an hour and a half from Incheon to Itaewon..bole naik subway je..
sampai je Itaewon, jakun kejap tengok kedai2 skincare..banyak giler..kiri kanan kedai skincare..tony moly, nature republik, etude house, the faceshop etc..the most I look up to tentulah tony moly..sebab model dia JYJ (k-pop mode is ON!) :D...ciss, habis jugak beribu won kat situ..

then, cari guesthouse pulak..bole sesat kat situ setengah jam..terjumpa Korean yang baik hati nak tunjukkan jalan..sekali dengan dia pun sesat..haha
dah la jalan berbukit-bukit, beg pulak berat..sesat lagi..maka exercise la kami turun naik bukit disitu..nasib baik sejuk...

satu benda yang tak best kat Seoul ni..rumah atas bukit dan terlalu banyak tangga..semput!!!
no wonder rakyat diorang slim..out of 1000 people that pass through in front of me, belum tentu akan jumpa sorang yang gemuk or perut ke depan..believe me..kagum!!

ok, sambung later k ;)

-2 degree

new year resolution

you know what? my most ambitious new year resolution is to read 20 books throughout the year..
let's start with this one..

i bought this book since I was still in Durham..it's 4 month back!! but what I did to this book? I just put my laptop on top of it...

yeah, too ambitious rite??

Aziatix!!!

i just found them recently, these three boys are really no joke!!! their music are damn good..listen to them guys..u won't regret..trust me ;)

twenty eight

I just turn 28 last week..to my family members who forgot my birthday, I forgive u..lol

somehow I can feel the different..now, I love to stay home and do my own thing rather than going out for shopping or 'lepak'-ing which I used to enjoy it before..every time my mum calls and ask what I am doing, the answer would be staying home, cooking, reading, watching movies etc..don't you go out with your friends?? those typical questions from my parents..probably it sounds weird for them to know that I didn't go anywhere on weekend..

yeah, thats how I am now..sigh!

frankly speaking...

frankly speaking, I still miss England...
'
'
'
'
'
'
wake up Nurul, wake up!!! dush dush!!!

*meroyan sebab tak pegi convo while few of my friends on their way to Durham now..have fun guys!
take a lot of pics but don't show it to me..hahaha

happy new year

happy new year everyone!! new year, new hope, new life..everything is new right? but it wont be new if we don't change anything..yeah, lets change for the better..fighting!!!

goodbye England

this gonna be my last entry i write from Durham..

a lot to say, a lot to tell..but i have no time..i make a promise to several people that i'll write my europe trip experience but it seems like i gonna break that promise..sorry!!

abah is very excited when he knew i'll be back earlier than expected..ehhe..it's good to make our parents happy isn't it? i keep telling him not to fetch me up at klia, but he still insist to come and wanna be the first person to see me when i landed at the airport..sweet kan abah saya? :D

hmmm...seems like i gonna miss this place so much..eh, definitely gonna miss Durham..miss sleeping in the duvet while its like a freezer outside..miss seeing flowers blooming in the spring, miss 'snow man' during winter, miss eating strawberry like crazy and not to forget, miss all my friends here..when thinking like we might not see each other again, it makes my cry..but, at least few of my friends surveying tickets to come to M'sia now ;)

ok, as usual, few pictures is enough to tell you what i've been up to few weeks before i say goodbye to England...

Man Utd vs Wigan at Old Trafford..4-0 ok!!!

CN Blue concert at Indig02..pekak telinga..

few girls craving for keropok lekor at Malaysian Hall

Harry Potter Studio..

last day with Hannah..you will be missed girl..

diari ramadhan Noni

entry ini ditulis selepas selesai sahur dan solat subuh..memandangkan ramadhan tahun ni jatuh pada musim panas, makanya Subuh masuk pada pukul 230pagi dan Maghrib pada pukul 930malam..19 jam uuu..wuhuu
then, Isyak pukul 11malam, jadinya solat tarawih selepas itu lah..nampak gayanya, tarawih tahun ni kat rumah je la..nak pegi masjid jauh..lagipun, perempuan lebih elok solat dirumah ye dak?

mulai esok, tadarus akan diadakan jam 6ptg..since maghrib 930, bolehla start masuk dapur pukul 8mlm

Malaysia mula puasa hari Sabtu kan? kat sini Jumaat, awal sehari..

sila doakan cik Noni tak pengsan macam tahun lepas..ngahaha (Ana, masihkah kamu ingat peristiwa pitam di bazar itu?)

puasa ni kan, kalau kita betul-betul menganggap ia sebagai bulan Ibadah dan bulan untuk kita lebih mendekatkan diri dengan Allah, insyaAllah lapar dan dahaga tu tak terasa sangat..insyaAllah

pesanan penaja:
1. bersempana bulan yang penuh barakah ini, doakan keselamatan saudara-saudara kita di Palestin, Syria dan Myanmar..mohonkan juga agar Allah hancurkan musuh-musuh Islam
2. buat sahabat-sahabat saya di KICT, doakan agar sahabat kita, Ahmad Naufal dan anak-anaknya agar kuat dan tabah menghadapi dugaan Allah
3. doakan juga agar saya berjaya di sini dengan cemerlang :D

*pssst..doakan ketika di dalam sujud/ketika mengadap Allah..bukan setakat tulis kat wall facebook je..heheh..peace yo!!

Phd

I was talking to few of my lecturer last week and they keep asking me about my future plan after I get my master soon..to be exact, they asked either am interested to pursue Phd or not..

bila dah nak dekat akhir-akhir study ni, am thinking seriously about my future plan..pernah jugak terpikir nak sambung Phd, but not in UK..nak pergi tempat lain pulak..

well, if you discuss with academician, of course they will definitely say yes to Phd..

tapiiii...

me: abah, kakak nak sambung Phd lepas ni boleh?
abah: berapa tahun pulak?
me: dalam 3 ke 4 tahun
abah: nanti lepas akak  dah dapat Phd, abah mak dah tak ada...
mak: kakak tak ingat mak abah ka?


bye Phd..i love my parents more than you!

(hati ada rasa sakit sikit..ouchhh)
