august 2010

month : AUGUST 2010

august turned out to be my super duper hectic month. despite it being the fasting month, i was also struggling with my research work. i had a dateline to catch, plus classes to attend (not to mention the assignments) and lab to assists. 

1. research : most of the hard work (literally) was done in august. it was a full month for me, 8am-5pm. after breaking fast, pengsan depan laptop. haha.
2. classes : a bit annoying cause the lecturer keeps canceling the class at the very last minute. could have gotten work done but ended up with nothing. *sigh*
3. lab : teaching is quite fun (especially if they don't know anything and you know everything :P) first two weeks i was just assisting, but from the 3rd week onwards, i was on my own. was a bit tough at first cause i was caught off-guard, but i got the hang of it. 

fasting month brought back memories during my under graduate years. bazaar was never a miss. oblong, kek batik, murtabak. yum! here in parit buntar, it was a different variety of food all together. in the end, rambang mata jugak la nak makan apa for berbuka. hehe.(i don't have pics tho. was too busy + tired to do so)

towards the end of august, i had two visitors from up north! hihi. what a surprise! ;) they came all the way by bus! (my sister said i was lucky to have them, they traveled all the way from north by bus during fasting month! penat ok??)

our first stop was sg. petani. mission: mencari baju raya alida + tudung raya tapi mission was not a success for alida. I bagged two tudung for myself :P 

 

next stop: jusco perda for berbuka. we had thai food. sedap la jugak. alida found her baju kurung here. lawa ok! balik pon dah lewat malam. super tired from all the walking. but knowing us, even when the lights were out, we were still chit chatting away, just like old times ;) sahur was a different issue all together but i somehow predicted it. bangun minum air je. cet. buat penat je pk nak mkn ape the night before. 

day 2: we went to sunway carnival, watched a movie to kill time before sending them off. wanted to karaoke, but...... puasa lah! pfft! sent them off with a heart full of happiness and sadness. happy for the time we had together even for a short time, sad for the time spent had to end so quickly ;(

fasting month wouldn't be complete without breaking fast with friends. so before everyone left for their hometown, we gathered at this restaurant in kuala juru. seafood restaurant. simply delicious! ;)

anyways, these are basically what happened in august. 

next : september :)

well, along with this entry, i would like to wish everyone a belated

selamat hari raya + maaf zahir batin

(ok tak? hehehehe :P)
