: : : Happy Birthday Mak . . . : : :

The thousands of things you did for me
that helped make me happier,
stronger and wiser,
because I had you as a role model.

I'm grateful for all the times
you healed my hurts
and calmed my fears,
so that I could face the world
feeling safe and secure.

I'm thankful for all you showed me
about how to love and give
lessons that now bring
so many blessings to me
each and every day.

Your sacrifices and unselfishness
did not go unnoticed, Mom.
I admire you, I respect you,
I love you.
And I'm so glad you're my mother!

HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY MAK~

: : : tension plak.. : : :

Assalammualaikum....

hmmmm tetiba rasa tension...while marking my students lab report.

almost 40% of the students (total of 90 students) COPY AND PASTE from the previous semester students!!Well, like i don't know...i'm still keeping all the previous sems' reports.

Geramnyeeee....

kenapa attitude budak2 zaman sekarang ni sangat lain if compared to my time??

Seriously i never ever or in other words i dont have any intention to copy and paste...although dah overdue...or almost reaching to the dateline..sanggup sekang mata day and nite siapkan jugak..

and proudly said, all my lab reports were solely from my hard work.

hishhhh hilang pulak mood :(

*off to UPM for my Finite Elemnt class *

: : : 2010 : : :

Assalammualaikum...

Selamat datang 2010...


A new year..new beginning and new resolution...


My journey as a master student continues...and for this semester i'm praying for better results...InsyaAllah....as long as i keep on struggling and never give up.



May ive been surrounded with kind peoples, more friends and nice students too
:)

p/s : just watched Alvin and Chipmunks 2...they're soooo cute!

: : : Can i predict future?? : : :

I know some of you may think that i'm crazy for posting a nonsense topic.

But this lately i got this feeling...a feeling that whatever come across my mind..it will suddenly happens in front of me....

Sounds crazy aite?

Well i'm not sure whether its a norm to everybody or it's just me, feeling this way.

: : : Saya MAHU : : :

Saya SANGAT² mahukan these cute miniature toys a.k.a candy box.

Saw them in Ikano last Friday...A COMPLETE SET for each theme..

Much² more cheaper than in KLCC guess it's due to Christmas Eve...

Ada sapa² nak belanja x?? * kelip²*

I wish i can have them all....

Especially this!

: : ALIYYAH GENERATES PROFESSIONALS : :

My picture appeared in the UNITEN website....

heh ~

Cerita basi sebenarnya..but i totally forgot to mention about this.

There was another cerita basi in which i appeared in Uniten advertisement for postgraduate student ; July intake. ..

Will upload the pic soon as i scan the newspaper.

It appeared in several newspapers.. Utusan, Berita Harian, The Star and New Straits Times and spread all over Malaysia...

That time was the peak time where i received lots of SMS " Alya..muka u masuk iklan UNITEN..." hehehehe...

*Update on me*

I just received a new baby from my beloved baby :">

It's an MP4 player...boleh guna time study...

Bought it in Mines, when both us went for iPod hunting ...

Tapi since iPod wayyyy too expensive so we just have MP4 player by CREATIVE instead.

Thankssss tawfiq!!

err actually i dont intend to have one despite of just being an advisor for tawfiq since dia yg beria nk iPod... tapi bila org dh offer nak bg...takkan nak reject!! hahaha :P

Below is the pic of his late iPod.

Was given by me on his 24th birthday... tapi dah hilangggggg :(

its ok..patah tumbuh hilang berganti :P

Till keyboard meets my fingers again. tata~

WOMAN IN YOUR LIFE ~ very beautiful article.

My mum sent this email to me...it's a note...

A note from a woman to the man soon she gonna marry him :)

While forwarding the message, mum told me .."ask him to read this.. it's related to both of you..."

At first i never bothered to check the email till yesterday...

Tomorrow you may get a working woman,
but you should marry her with these facts as well.

Here is a girl, who is as much educated as you are;
Who is earning almost as much as you do;

One, who has dreams and aspirations just as you have because she is as human as you are.
One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like you or your Sister haven't, as she was busy in studies and competing in a system that gives no special concession to girls for their culinary achievements.
One, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as much as you do for 20-25 years of her life.
One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home, people who love her, to adopt your home, your family, your ways and even your family ,name.

One, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1, while you sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances, environment and that kitchen.

One, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in the morning and cook food at the end of the day, even if she is as tired as you are, maybe more, and yet never ever expected to complain; to be a servant, a cook, a mother, a wife, even if she doesn't want to; and is learning just like you are as to what you want from her; and is clumsy and sloppy at times and knows that you won't like it if she is too demanding, or if she learns faster than you.

One, who has her own set of friends, and that includes boys and even men at her workplace too, those, who she knows from school days and yet is willing to put all that on the back-burners to avoid your irrational jealousy, unnecessary competition and your inherent insecurities;

One, who can be late from work once in a while when deadlines, just like yours, are to be met.

One, who is doing her level best and wants to make this most important, relationship in her entire life a grand success, if you just help her some and trust her.

One, who just wants one thing from you, as you are the only one she knows in your entire house - your unstinted support, your sensitivities and most importantly - your understanding, or love, if you may call it.

But not many guys understand this......

Please appreciate "HER" I hope you will do....

*Facts that all the guys out there SHOULD know :P *

"Aliyyah, kenapa blog ko dah bersarang??"

as usual, my answer'd be "aku busyyyyy"

Sorry peeps for being missing in action. huhuhu There were lots of my friends keep on asking where've u been as there were no any updates since my last post.

Still, i'm not in my mood of writing (urghh my writing skills is decreasing day by day :( )

Listed below are all of my boring-yet-wonderful updates.

1. Salam Aidil Adha to all muslims. My raya was great as i really enjoy staying at home!

2. My result was already out during raya..ALHAMDULILLAH. Saya sangat² bersyukur.

3. New semester in UNITEN has just started, and in UPM on the other hand will start after christmas. Meaning i'm still having few more weeks for my own sweet times before the cracking-head-syndrome started :P

4. I'm handling Mechanics of Materials Laboratory. As for now, i'm not facing any problem with it.

5. My brother, Non bought for me.. Incanto Bliss from Salvatore Ferragamo during his outstation in Singapore. The price is extremely reasonable compared to here, due to Year End Sale. Unfortunately, i didn't get it for freeeee still have to pay him :(

6. I'm in my new mood of reading storybook. I've few collections from Sophie Kinsella, Stephenie Mayer and the list goes on...Thanks azy!

7. I saw some faux cupcakes in the net and it's a must for me to get them. huhuhu...*kena kumpul duit*

8. Lately, i'm craving for desserts such as cake, chocolates, cookies, & anything to be with caremel. Pheww~~ the disadvantage of being a sweet tooth :(

9. DIET MODE has just started * enough said*

10. All in all... what a boring life of mine. However i really appreciate every single second if it. And alhamdulillah thanks to Allah for giving me strength & patience to face all the obstacles. Not forgetting great companionship - family friends and colleagues.

: : : SALAM AIDILFITRI & HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! : : :

Hope it's not to late to wish all Muslims Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir & Batin.

Nothing much special happened on my birthday...Had dinner with Fiq at Manhattan Fish Market. thats all....

To all my friends, thanks for the birthday wishes...
Doakan saya sihat dan berjaya di dunia dan akhirat ye... :)

: : : Homesick i wanna go home :( : : :

I'm homesick....
totally homesick! i wanna go back home.
i know it's just an exaggeration to say that I'm missing my home damn much! But the fact that i am. huhuhu
Can't wait to go home... can't wait to see mak and chit chating till late nite. Can't wait to quarrel with my brothers...and really can't wait to provoke adam till he drives us crazy in the house. hehehe


Spending the whole ramadhan in unit** was unhappy for me...as i have to do my assignment, study for tests, entertain the students, marking their reports which make me torture at the same time and etcetra...

fuhhh another few days to go...
knowing my officemate is moving to her new office makes me feel even worse. huhuhu...
I'll be left alone in the office....
She's the best officemate i ever had.....

*off to bed**

: : : an early raya present : : :

While everybody were very busy with their baju raya and kuih raya hunting, me on the other hand was very busy with my 'car hunting'. hehehe...

Alhamdulillah, finally i've owned one

Million thanks to abah for the downpayment (after how many years of pastoring :P)
To noune, u're such a superb in handling all the procedures. Now i know that it's not that easy to apply for bank loan. haha but i believe with all your persuasive skills i found that it's not that hard ...hehe
and of coz to mak, thanks a bunch for making the immediate decision without my acknowledgement :P
your choice will always bee the best for me!
i'm truly happy, somehow in a meantime i wouldnt have the chance to drive it :(
Still have to wait till my raya break, which will be on next Friday ..

Alrite, this is the best part...

and finally ... to my beloved tawfiq, thanks for helping me throughout my ups and downs.
tQ..tQ..tQ~!!!
I guess now on, it's my time to fetch u everyday in front of your hostel. haha. . .

: : : WISHLISTS : : :

My wishlists : (Updated on 30th August)

1. Refrigerator

DONE!!!!

finally dapat jugak beli fridge. though 1 pintu jek..melayang jugak $700++! *sigh* x pelah just take it as an investment :P. At first i wen t to carrefour, for a 175l capacity, i can get it for $669. Somehow, that model dh out of stock, since i insisted for that model, so we headed to seng heng. adalah jugak...215l, tapi kna extra $100 plak. huhuhu nahh i just grabbed it. malas nk pk dah...pk² duit habis gak..huhu hu.

Nowadays, it's very hard when you have to survive by ur own money. takkan nk mintak parents kut, though i know my parents willing to help me if i desperately need something. . But surely bukan untuk my baju² handbag² etc.. hehe
Yeayyy skrg dah boleh masak....complete! ada induction cooker... ada fridge.. toaster pun ada rice cooker... microwave je x de..
I'm so thankful kat my 2nd brother because he's always lucky, everytime ada familyday UMW, he'll be the lucky person to receive the lucky draw :P

Ok, now my next aim would be as follow:

2. Vacuum Cleaner
3. Water Purifier

ada x org yg baik hati nk bagi 2 mende ni ????.. hihihihi.

Just wait and see till i h ave enough money...

Lama x update blog....i've been occupied with my tight schedules. Especially with my masters commitments. Assignment..tests and etc.. :(
Arini x de mood nak study...abah, non and amat came just now to 'visit' me. Yelah, i cannot go back home till raya due to my master classes which have changed to weekends during fasting month. Sabar jelah. memang menguji tahap kesabaran :(
macam zaman kat asrama pulak..huhuhuh

Did i mentioned in my previous blog that i'm gonna update regarding my vacation last time? Ok, here it goes...

PART 1

On the 1st of July, me and my colleagues went to Bandung to visit our bestfriend Zahiah. Apart from that we went to Yogyakarta as well to visit my beloved cousin, Aishah and of course our beloved friend, Syap.
Here are the stories abou t our visit to bandung :

We reached there at about 4pm. Plane plak delayed for 3 hours!! ni lah yg x bestnye air asia..merugikan duit org. :(
At first we planned to straight away jalan2 tapi due to the delay terpakse cancel. Jeyah wait for us there...mmg excited sangat jumpe jeyah sbb rindu sangat2 kat dia... Jeyah brought us to her hostel. Memula sampai mmg all of us shocked bila dengar dia communicate with the taxi driver using bahasa indonesia. fuhhh mantap sungguh. at first kitaorg tercengang then tergelak giller². hahahah... seriously x pa ham, but we managed to adapt with it. Practise kat pasar baru :P
That day we just went to some factory outlet...adalah jugak i bought few stuffs there.. some blouses rasanye..huuu couldn't reemember....

The next day we went to pasar baru... naik angkut....its a van having no door. Bila jalan jam, mmg adalah "pengamen" yang bertenggek kat van tu..main biola, jual air, jual mainan, and surprisingly ada live band!! hahaha...at first mmg scary giller... org² yang naik turun angkut tu mmg seriously scary jgak.. we really take care of our belonging especially our handbags. When we first reached to pasar baru...seriously rambang mata...terlampau banyak barang² telekung², kebaya² and sangat murah!!. Memang best kat sana.. i managed to grab some stuffs, telekung ... my mum pesan beli baju sembahyang.. alhamdulillah jumpe jugak.. and my dad pesan beli songkok lipat. Ni yg paling p ening...tapi dapat lah jugak... Owh not to forget..nenek pesan beli tudung endon yang "kancingnya di belakang :P" ni mmg sangat susah nak carik. Sbb dah outdated...Jeyah told me that she'll bring me to this one boutique selling varieties type of tudung endon... :). I didnt buy so much stuffs... unlike my friends they really shop till they drop! best tengok diorg shopping.. hehehe. Since pasar baru closed at 4pm, so we've decided to go to some factory outlets after our asar prayer... Ada this one factory outlet, RAFFLES selling some branded man's shirt. Ayyub was really looking forward for lacoste.. fuh...finally jumpe jgak.. it's original with unnoticeable defect RM60 je compared to the original price yang almost RM400++. Last time he ordered from me when i went for my europe tour tapi terbesar pulak...so, i passed it to tawfiq.. hihihi. We came back to jeyah's hostel at about 11pm...mmg kaki mcm nak patah dat time... tapi that's not all, still ada lagi intention nak pg pasar baru next day nye...hihihi because some of my friends nak carik barang2 yang diorg tercicir x habis borong...Friday morning, pak setio came and fetch us...so, managed lah visit some places...shopping² lah jugak...hehehe this time jeyah wasn't feeling well, sian dia...dia ada exam...rasa guilty sangat... tp because of us yg all the way came to pay a visit dia sanggup layan us more than her study :( thanks a lot jeyah. We really appreciate your great hospitality throughout our visit...... sayang jeyah so much!!
Petang tu, we've started to pack, sb b nak amik train plak to jogja.. the journey took about 10hours!! fuhhh mcm nak pg uk jer.... huhuh
Experience naik keretapi kat sana mmg x leh lupe...bila ingat balik serik...tapi kelakar pun ada... hahahaha...
Terkontang kanting kitaorg carik which platform to jogja.. when we asked the guard he spoke using his language yg pekat tu mmg masy aAllah x paham langsung... we wished jeyah was here to help us..tapi sadly she couldnt join us sbb dia ada exam :( at 6pm... cian jeyah.....
But alhamdulillah, everythings went well, dapatlah naik keretapi and selamat sampai kat Jogja.....

JOGJA...here we come!!!
next update will be the story of our visit to jogja... courtesy to my cousin for providing us with a great accomodation :)

Thanks jeyah!!!

Owh~~ did i miss something? yeah ! and this is another version of a geek!!


But this guy doesn't show that he's a geek. Perhaps a pc game freak??? hmmmmm



p/s: Courtesy to tawfiq for capturing the pictures. :D

: : : SUSAHSUSAHSUSAH : : :

Kenapalah rasa suma benda dalam dunia ni susah???

It's hard when nobody cares, nobody understands, nobody provides you with all the strengths u extremely need!

When you keep everything shut, they think that u're OK!, when you start pampering, they think that u're a spoilt brat, and when you start comparing, it shows that you never be grateful.

T_T

i wanna be in the fairytale ......

"and they live happily ever after"

: : Alhamdulillah : :

Alhamdulillah,

Mak and abah just came back from performing Umrah. Actually abah was having a conference at Syria and Madinah. And the package of the conference offered few days extension for those who want to perform their Umrah.
I received an SMS from mak yesterday, she sounded so happy being there, as a first timer. I'm glad to hear that, as long as i know both are doing fine.

Can't wait for my chance to be there. InsyaAllah ~

: : : R A W : : :

Past experience has taught me to be extra careful in life and made me understand what it supposed to be. I turn to be more careful to make my own decision, more careful to choose the true meaning of friends rather than foe and more careful in everything that i've made. I am still fresh and raw. I need to learn a lot and keep on learning throughout the journey. It's hard to stand by my own feet , somehow, i believe when you have your strong determination, nothing is impossible. Endless effort, continuous improvement and never ever give up will make your dreams come true. I've been through the most painful journey in life, and because of that i achieved my dreams.
I believe in faith, everything that happens, there's a reason behind it.
This is me, from a mere raw person will make changes in my life if i never ever give up! InsyaAllah..

**********

Btw, enough from babbling. Last week, i spent my whole Saturday at KLCC, frm 10am to 5pm! Enough to make my feet became swallon. huhuhu. And the next day i just stayed at home and did some housekeeping. When i was at KLCC i went to SASA to have a look at any interesting stuffs. Then the salesgirl came nearby and promoting her perfumes. I admit that the perfumes there are slightly cheaper than Isetan or Parkson, since they are duty-free product. I've attracted to Escada's since it's the one and only having fruity scent which is pleasant to my nose. Well, i don't have any intention to get a new one since i'm still having my beloved Issey Miyaki (this is my top listed perfume with flowery scent that is pleasant to my nose as well). The salesgirl keep on convincing me regarding the price and suddenly she changed her topic, "Miss, we have a promotion on Za Eye Mask, it's only RM10 per box the normal price would be RM49.90... i noticed that u're having bad dark circle around your eyes.. i'm sure u're having stressful time during your woking days.. " huh! this is one of the tactic to attract their customer... Then she added "Ohh.. we have another product, the mask is just for repairing.. i think your eyes cannot help anymore...u have to buy this product for maintaining your eyes.. i'm sure you're working all the times in front of the computer" for this time i couldn't tolerate anymore *sigh* this girl really made me pissed off. (However i still bought the Za eye mask :P) . I went to the cashier, pay for the masks and quickly get rid myself from that shop. huh.. it was sooo annoying.

p/s : tapi ter-influence gak kat si salesgirl tuh.. :P maybe it's about time to take care of my eyes. i noticed about it as well, but i just don't bother . hahaha

: : *&^%$#@ pening *&^%$#@ : :

Arini pening....

pening pikir masalah dunia... -_-"

haihh~ rasa macam dah susahkan semua orang... i'm sorryyyyyyy semua orang :'(

bila buat calculation, i have to have approximately RM150k just to continue my studies abroad!!

Tu baru tuition fees, belum lg accomodation, makan..minum...buku², duit public transport? kat UK tube dia mahal ~

Well, i'm not the only child in my family...

I have another 3 younger brothers who are still need money for their studies..or perhaps DEMAND for money???. huuuuu~

Being the only daughter is not easy. Your parents tend to be extremely-protective!

* X boleh keluar malam sorang²..bahaya... nanti takut ada org ikut~ (ayat my mum since i was little, sampai sekarang..)

* X boleh bawak kereta kat highway... bahaya jugak....

* X boleh pg outstation jauh²... unless uniten provide kan bus..huhu

* X boleh tu...tak boleh ni....

Yet, i'm so grateful to have them. I am who i am now..

hmmmm....

sambung pikir......

Time ni rasa macam best jek... sbb x pikir langsung masalah!! Missed the old good times with my friends. *sigh*
