Hari Pertama..

Since i've been complaining about how bored i am for the last few weeks....doing nothing at home..except my daily routine which includes all house chores activities..apart from hooking on the net..hehehe..n watching my favourite TV sitcom....my abang gave me few alternatives to overcome the boredom crisis..hehehe..

First - dont be a counch potato..wake ur ass up...find urself a job!!..which i've been abstaining myself since we arrived here last October..for the sake of celebrating my freedom from the previous job!!! perhaps, i've been celebrating it for quite sometime till it gave me an urgency to move on onto new challenges or new phases of life here..maybe......arghhh... but now i have given myself a second thought..phewhh...especially when Ikea is going to open its door this coming february..wink..wink ;) i need to generate income if i want to be part of Ikea family.....

Next alternative is to acquire as many skills as i could possibly get or access...Unfortunately in Soton, there are not many community classes being offered compared to Newcastle..They only offer IT and English classes..My main interest would be the art classes and foreign languages such as Spanish, French or Arabic..Rather than doing nothing, so today i attended an english class in Southampton University. .The english class is meant for international student's partners..am i putting it correctly..???..hope so :) They devide the classes into 4 levels..beginner..intermediate..hmm..another one, i forgot..please excuse me eh..n final level is Advance class...so Mrs. Sarah placed me in this Advanced class...haiyaa...

They are 19 students including me..and its like having people from all over the place under one roof..phewwhhh...plus a British..of cozz...Puan Sarah....hehehe....and i'm the only Malaysian...i met new friends from iraq, brazil, germany, korea, china, italy, turkey, japan...n the list continues...perhaps, i can get to know them better in the next class...i really hope that my english will get better and better....and by the time i go back to Malaysia..there would be a tremendous improvement in my English...Insyallah...Amin...Now i am in the process of learning the language...please suppport me...for the better...cyiyok durra!!!!

Singa n naga menari...

Yesterday we went to city centre for our weekend walk..and there were lion dance and dragon shows performed by Chinese Associations for their CNY celebration. Although it was raining..but they managed to attract crowds including us..hehehe....as if we've never seen that kind of performance in Malaysia :P but something is missing in their performance..firecrackers!!!
Since we have nothing else to do apart from window shopping, we joined the crowds
at the Bargate...and once again..one day in Southampton..has passed by :)

Daerah Terasing..........

Di daerah yang terasing ini
Aku menapak membawa haluan
Merintis perjalanan yang x bertepi
Melangkah penuh semangat bertapakkan azam
Merintis lorong-lorong kehidupan dalam pencarian diri

Di daerah yang terasing ini
Ku melihat wajah-wajah kelainan
yang ada kala begitu menjelekkan
Yang mebuatkan ku damba
akan wajah-wajah yang satu itu
dari kejauhan menitip rindu kepada angin

Dahan dan ranting yang kering
Seperti mengerti akan kerisauan hati
maka luruh satu persatu daunannya
Kicauan burung di waktu subuh
Seperti bersorak kepada alam
Mohon dipancarkan cahaya keriangan

Aku mengerti........
Seperti laut ada pasang surutnya
siang yang bersulam dengan malam
Begitu juga dengan putaran alam
Sentiasa berjanji akan ada kesudahannya

Oleh itu...di bumi yang terasing ini
Ku pasakkan azimat biar tersemat erat
Biar arus datang menongkah
Biar badai datang menghempas
Kuasa yang Esa punyai segalaNya
aku pasrah dan redha........bersama-sama 1001 kesyukuran

Nukilan: diri sendiri...yang kebusanan...tahap gaban...melahirkan idea...tahap ultraman....

Sabar je laa banyak2.....

hari nie....aku mmg betul2 kena menahan kemarahan...dan kena make sure tahap kesabaran aku...tahap gaban.....astaghfirullah....banyak2 istighfar nie.....last week...kami g masuk london...n bawak keter mcm biasa...bila masuk....nampak laa sign...Congestion Zone....kena bayar...so kami yg 1st timer masuk London tu...masuk laa...n pikir...mesti ada tempat nak bayar charges tu nanti...dah masuk...dah pusing merata...mmg x jumpa tanda..or tempat nak bayar...so kami pun..ingat...saje letak sign tu kot....so lepak jer laaa.......

Sekali....hari nie dapat surat saman daaa........kata x bayar congestion charges....so kena bayaq saman 60 GBP......adula.....mana laa nak sangka...kena bayar pkai sms...xde laa pulak nampak instruction kat sign tu....mangkuk laa....nie mmg laa kes ignorance...after all....nobody tell us...about congestion charges that once you are entering the city, you need to pay e charges...for sure...ignorance is not the answer...partly, we should be blamed for...because of our ketidak perhatinan itu...partly...why dont u..u..hey u.....e authority...give CLEAR instructions laaa...on how to pay..or what so ever...before we enter the city..bukan semua g london tiap2 hari daaaa...stupiddd.....Bloodyhell...nie aku marah laa...nak jugak ler guna ayat cara org sini...kalo org kita...mangkuk laa kan...hehehehe..asal boleh semua nak amik kesempatan atas public yg x alert....termasuk laa those companies yg provide services.....banyak cekadak betul.....nak penalize org cukup cepat...tang services...macam haram!!! sori laaa....entry kali nie...x sesuai utk bawah umur...utk atas umur pun..kena ada discretion apabila membaca....after all....the main objective of my blog is...luahan hati n perasaan ku...chewahhhh...so...nie sesi meluah perasaan laaa lebih kurang....huhuhu....nak bebel2 kat suami pun....kang dia jem pulak....baik laa aku bebel lebih2 skitt kat dlm entry nie.....hehehehe

So kepada semua pembaca yg dihormati......sayangi laa negara anda...kerana ianya negara yg terbaik!!!!!!! walau pun...ada banyak lagi leh diperbaiki...tp jgn smpai kite pun sama suka amik kesempatan atas org lain....mcm omputih yg dok buat kat sini...sistem ekonomi yg akhirnya lingkup jugak...padan muka bank2 kat sini....huaaahhhaaahaha

Sudah Jatuh....Terpeleot pulaa...

Hasil nya...keluaran jam 12 tgh malam....chinamon rolls - resepi..boleh didapati di videojug.com...selamat mencuba :)
Ku gagahi gak membuat rolls...xleh berdiri...duduk pun masih boleh kacau dough...janji boleh makan...hehehe
Chef bad gembira selepas isterinya sanggup gi beli brg kat Waitrose..walhal, store tu lg 1/2 jam nak tutup..mmg kelam kabut laa g beli bahan2 rolls tu..sebabnya suami tersayang teringin sgt nak buat chinamon rolls tu...huhuhu...
Teman setia my abang semenjak minggu lepas.....gara2 main bola...waktu tu..padang bola pun jadi beku...main dlm cuaca 1-3 celcius daa....akibatnya....teman setia nie laaa..jadi pengiring...dr minggu lepas smpai laa skrng.......


Last week, my abang terkena kecederaan kat kaki kiri...ingat tergeliat biasa jer....so mcm biasa...mengurut la ala kadar....pastu letak ice....sbb lepas sehari lepas main tu..kaki tu membengkak...slalu kalo jadi gitu 2-3 hari..leh subside n leh jalan...tp nampaknya...mcm x turun..turun....n xleh jalan...so g laa sepital...n dapat laa crutches nie....n next week..kena g buat x-ray...so x dpt lagi kepastian..apa yg berlaku..adakah abangku ditimpa nasib seperti kembarnya si Wayne Rooney atau kecederaan biasa??? Harapnya...x teruk...n x perlu smpai operate ke apa ker..apa2 pun...he's been grounded from playing football until further notice ;) (arahan dr nurse durra)

Aktiviti santai yg menjimatkan di hujung minggu

Penunggu tetap MayFlower Park- Helen n Gerard..........
Mencari rezeki di tepi port- Robert n Mary....
Abng ku yg suka sgt nak tengok kapal n cruiseship...hari nie..xde yg berlabuh..kecuali kapal commerce kat depan tu....
Depan museum...............dr jauh kalo x tengok signboard...ingatkan bangsal kuda daaa
Dlm museum...amik gambo curi...machine dlm kapal...zaman dolu2....

Lagi gambar curi - relication of Queen Marry ship....rasanya masih bergerak lagi kapal tu..ada masa berlabuh kat port soton nie....
Gambar ala2..x mau tengok kat camera..citer kapal2 yg berlabuh dan berlayar dr port soton..termasuk e femes Titanic itu.....



Kesimpulannya:

Jarak perjalanan dr rumah = 5 minit
Enterance fees = GBP 2 X 2 pax = GBP 4
Masa berlegar = 2 jam
Input = pasal kapal n citer cruiseship...
Lain-lain hal = jalan2 tepi laut...scenery...jumpa dgn penunggu2 setia port...
Conclusion = sepetang santai di Southampton....bersama my beloved abang :)
