Scenes from BICESTER

Me at BICESTER! THE LAND OF BRANDED GOODS FACTORY OUTLET, where branded things here are cheaper than the stores in London, and PLUS its the winters sale, so its much cheaper


Pretty tree being line up near the stores


"I can't resist anything but temptation"

How umm... partly true... if you have oodles of cash to spend on

Loving the scenery in the car park

Confession: i sense a disturbance in the force

Well actually, I felt that something was a miss today...

gotta study but that nagging feeling....

went out to the post office, got a letter (finally! my railcard arrived) but that feeling of something is amiss... is still there...

went to the travel shop to order a ticket, but didn'y. Because, sure thing i called my sister first, and she told me that she is going to bruhall on that day (thus delaying my travel plans)...


so... what is that feeling....?

I follow my instinct... went to the shop selling the hoodies...

and *gasp!* TINGGAL 2 LAGI SIZE KU! ALAMAK! (2 more left of my size, OHNOES!)

I quickly grab the unopened one (because the other one was opened), and purchase the baby BEFORE it got sold out...

so here it is!



woohooo! BUT WAIT!

lOOKY HERE!



xD I CANNOT RESIST! hehehe

fyi, the feeling is gone... XD

*checks wallet* uh-oh... budget lagi ku ni.... XD

FOODIE UPDATE3! HOMAIGAT! WHAT IS THAT???

this is the part where you say

"HOMAIGAT! WHAT IS THAT???"
"APAKAN TU???"
"NANI O KORE"

feel free to express your "shockness" in the blog

That, family, relatives, friends, lurker, visitor, mr.alien, mr.anderson, pikachu...

is my PATHETIC ATTEMPT to cook an omellette with clams as its uhh... stuffing in the centre.

YES YES, I FAILED in cooking. uwaaaaaaa. And you know what... there is also the taste of BURNT egg on some of the underside of it... ugh... not good to taste...

my review... a 0/5

sure thing john west is there, to satisfy my taste bud



ps: Dont forget to read the previous 2 post XD

FOODIE UPDATE2! Curried lentil soup!

Lunch at my nearby place (the Sainsbury garden, near the Constable Terrace, UEA, Norwich) and I ordered this soup for 1.20 pounds



You know what? It reminds me of the cacah matabak, or izzit nasi briyani di brunei. Hehehe. Not bad the soup though, only... I feel like something is missing... Like, if it had a complementary food to go with it (which is obviously matabak or bread), this soup will be more satisfying

next time, I shall bring along bread (or takeaway), eat as a cacah, and makan style matabak XD)

I gave it 3.5/5

FOODIE UPDATE 1! Roast Turkey Review at UEA, Norwich

Three massive update today, and its all about FOOD FOOD FOOD! XD

FIRST UP! I had a HALAL roast beef during lunch (as usual, I ordered the 4.50pounds one, because for 50pence extra, u get desert/salad and a cup of coke!)

CLICKY THEM PICS!





Ah... it feels good taking good pics using my "thrusty"... oops, I mean my trusty N95.

My review? Ugh, stuffing overload. As usual, the meat to veges ratio is unfair (i want more meat! less veges!) and the taste? still an average 3/5... If only the turkey meat is thicker, juicier AND the gravy more...err.. gravy-er XD

the desert!


doh! I forgot the name of this desert. But its definately chocolate. I have taste better deserts than this though, as this one also average in taste (mebbe I should just pack the salad, and eat it at home)

*note: haven't tried the salad though, so next time.

Ah yes the combo meal!


Hehehehe, sorry dudes, forgotten to take the BEFORE picture XD

I got a confession...

Yeah, I got a confession for you all...






I CANNOT RESIST IT! I MUST HAVE IT!






MUAHAHAHAHAHHAHA! awww man, i was like, buy or not, buy or not, because of the sale, and the blue ones are getting lesser and lesser ><

and thus, I MUST BUY IT before it got sold out ><



FYI, right now, I am battling myself... should I add the red UEA HOODIE to complete the collection... OR not...

UEA HOODIE!

XD woohoo! finally got myself a UEA hoodie. and fyi, i am NOT that good in taking self-potrait photos

NEVERTHELESS! Here it is!





I already got the military green, now i wanna buy the red one and the blue one, as collection XD

CUTE KITTY!!

majlis ramah mesra

Yeah, went to london to attend the 'majlis ramah mesra' or in english, ummm... not sure =D

but basically its the 'meet and greet' session, and its with his masjesty, the sultan of brunei ^^

UNFORTUNATELY, there were too many people, and hard to shake hands with his majesty (i heard its 1500 people altogether)

NEVERTHELESS! picture session has taken place, and here is one of 'em


from left, dunno the guy, mahirah, me, xhu and lilac

I would like to thank his majesty, for giving us the opportunity to continued on our study, to spend some time to meet us, and for the white packet (which many students is truly grateful, as here in uk, everything is 3 times expensive)

why do we read the quran?

received this in the email

Why do we read Qur’an, even if we can't understand a single Arabic word?

This is a beautiful story:
An old American Muslim lived on a farm in the mountains of eastern Kentucky with his young grandson. Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading his Qur'an.

His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to imitate him in every way he could. One day the grandson asked, 'Grandpa! I try to read the Qur'an just like you but I don't understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the Qur'an do?' The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, 'Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.'

The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, 'You'll have to move a little faster next time,' and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home. Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, and he went to get a bucket instead. The old man said, 'I don't want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You're just not trying hard enough,' and he went out the door to watch the boy try again.

At this point, the boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would Leak out before he got back to the house. The boy again dipped the basket into river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandfather the basket was again empty. Out of breathe, he said, 'See Grandpa, it's useless!' 'So you think it is useless?' The old man said, 'Look at the basket.'

The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean, inside and out. 'Son, that's what happens when you read the Qur'an. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you will be changed, inside and out. That is the work of Allah in our lives.'

1 reason why we should be concern about global warming

=O ohnoes! imagine our country (especially the islands) got flooded by the rising seas... the sharks will have a good time XD

upside down house! in poland

go here for the full story!

CLICKY MEEEEEE!!!!!

OR if you are lazy, read this instead ><

The builders lavished attention on every last detail.

First they constructed the house, then they decorated and fitted it out it to the highest specification.

But to the thousands of people who thronged to see this astonishing building in northern Poland, it looks as if a crucial fact escaped their attention.
Perched precariously on its roof, the house is, very definitely, upside down.

Thankfully, the spacious abode is not a building project gone wrong but Poland's latest tourist attraction and has already drawn throngs of people to the tiny village of Szymbark.
Crowds flocked to its opening earlier this week and then queued for hours to troop through the confusing, disorientating rooms.

Many complained of mild seasickness and dizziness after just a few minutes of being in the structure.
Rather than simply being a bizarre tourist attraction, the house is also meant to be a profound statement about the Communist era and the state of the world.

It is the work of Polish businessman and philanthropist Daniel Czapiewski who wanted visitors to consider the wrongdoings of humanity.

source? CLICK ME!!!!

SO! shall we have our own upside down building? or should brunei have the leaning upside down tower of pisa XD

one more time of the house!

darth vader reading....

yup, he is reading that. Even evil jedi need some quick literature fix XD
