renaissance of a blogger

hey there...=)...its been a while since my last entry...a long long time ago...my last entry was posted on the very first days of my arrival in UK and i have been here safe n sound for almost 3 months! i dont wanna give lame excuses saying that i am too bz to post anythg here simply because the life here is pretty relaxing! i just dont have the mood top write..but few mins before i started writing this, i read few blogs of my fren... most of them keep updating their blog by writing about what they have been doing in negara org and stuffs...it strike my mind with this.."aku kat UK 3 tahun je...xkn la aku nk simpan kenangan aku kat UK ni dlm FB je?"..with that simple thought i become so inspired to starting writing this...yea...this WORD!

Ok..life here is southampton has been pretty smooth...it is just a simple city, without any tourist attraction at all..seriosly, to all my frens, if u wanna come to soton, dont u ever dream to sightseeing, but do come here because of SOTONIANS as we will make ur days here worthy! haha...not to say that we are enjoying our life so much here but we are doing fine so far..alhamdulillah...=)

since my arrival here, one thing that i am proud is of course my cooking skills...haha...thx to our desperation to cook once a week! up to this date, i have cooked ayam masak kurma, soto, all sorts of nasi goreng, chicken stew, bolognese, ayam masak black pepper and mee hoon singapore...cooking is enjoyable for me and it is not really difficult..as long as u have the guts to cook, you will be fine....;)

me in action!

chicken stew!

ayam masak merah + ikn bilis masak kicap n telur dadar

classes have been quite bumpy but i did enjoy myself in class..lectures, turorials, presentation, group discussion, assignments...all of them make myself become a wiser person by now...i did form a discussion group for my ECONs module with matt(english),moid(pakistani) and tafzani (malaysian). we are doing great..the discussions had been very active with evryone contributing their own brilliant ideas..working with non-malaysian really open up ur mind coz they can see what we typical malaysian oversee..they really ambitious and have a very clear idea and dream ahead of them...here is a picture of us..

from left : matt, moid and me

i also form a group for my DEMOGRAPHY presentation..me,together with taf and et pleasantly agreed to join Ling and Michele, 2 brilliant peeps from China to put our brains together for the presentation...we did very well for it and special thanx to Ling for cheering up our group with her bubbly jokes...haha...

Today is my last day of my autumn term and tomorrow is the 1st day of winter holiday! happy holiday peeps! and i am going to Spain this tuesday! hahaha...the route will consist of LONDON-BARCELONA-GRANADA-CORDOBA-MADRID-LONDON....pray for our safe and smooth journey and do wait for lotsa pics to be uploaded...!

owh yea..btw, my other half is enjoying her days so much in States...she is there for her university's academic visit..she was selected for the trip and im pretty sure it is because of her very well performance in studies...alhamdulillah..im very2 proud of her...=)...it seems that her tears at the very first time when she knew that she was accepted to do a course that she never applied at a university that she never thought of has turn into a joyful tears...Allah knows evrythg and absolutely the best for us...to you dear,cepat2la blk malaysia ye... =)

lastly, just to remind you guys that this blog is still alive! haha..adios...;)

a new life.a new hope.but i am still me

wow...it's been a while i haven't updated my old creepy blog..i believe if my blog is a house,there must be a lot of satans n evils living in it ryte now..(rumah kan xleh tgl lame..nnt setan masuk...hehe...)..so peeps, I'm at a new place ryte now...swaythling,southampton....yea..u read it right..=)...i arrived here on breezy morning of 29 september 2009...its kinda a memorable date..290909...let the pics below tell evrything..

with my family at KLIA...miss them soo much....<3

my sistas...

shivering in the flight

touchdown at heathrow,london

first taste of london air


there were some pics upon my arrival at heathrow,london airport..people malaysia and some of my frens in UK asked me, "how's soton?"..well...for me, its too early to comment on that....soton is nothing much compared to london or any other beautiful cities...its just a small town and certainly not a tourist attraction...like any other western cities,people here love to socializing,clubbing,drinking and what not..u name it...but that's only at night..during the day,they are nice...seldomly u can here drivers honking their cars...if u about to enter a room and there is a person in front of u,he will certainly hold the door for you...the politely of locals here were certainly respected..no doubt..

hurmm..but to be honest, my heart is still standing stiffly at malaysia...i miss malaysia soo much eventhough i am just a week here..i miss malaysian foods,hotness,sweat,the people itself and so much more..the weather here is in its mild cold (well,locals say it mild cold but for me,its real cold! cakap pn berasap ok....) its quite unpredictable with drizzles in the morning and suddenly bright sunshine in the afternoon...sweating in UK is very awkward...i can walk 30mins without sweating at all...huhu....how can be slimmer with a bad eating habit due to the coldness and lack of sweat...:(....

cooking has become my routine nowadays...now i knw how hard cooking can be..i thought i am prepared enough to eat my own cook but it is far way tasteless than my mom's...teringat lauk2 yang mak masak eventhough kat umah xdela makan grand mane pn tp cukup rase sume la...kat sini, plg grand penah housemate masak is nasi putih with ayam masak kurma...at least kat uma ade sayur sket,ayam sket,ikan sket..huhu...xpe...tahan2...next summer adalah mase untuk menggemokkan diri...sabar2....

i had my first class today...to conclude it all,they were a great start 4 me...n hoping for it to be continously fine and smooth..insyaAllah...

tgh jalan nk g 1st kelas...drizzles..sejuk gle..


jakun main asap time cakap...tp x nmpk pn dlm pic..huhu

alhamdulillah...hard work pays...

6 july 2009 was a very long day in my life...it was d day dat i've been waiting so much...i did not necessary to be a bright day (or night..haha..) but i was still excited to wait for the moment of 6 july 2009...

i woke up as early as 540 a.m...
after performing my prayers, im still sleepy but i walked straight away to the tv set to watch MHI...my favourite breakfast show...

around 1030 am...
few people got their IB result already...they called their teachers n asked them bout it..my hands and feets shivered and cold...i dont know what to do...i wanted to knw the result so bad but am i ready to face any result?

around 1230pm...
amin got his result! so do andi...! both of them did a great great job! i asked amin,
wan : amin,ko tny sape? pn khuzaimi?
amin : aah..
wan : so bape ko dpt?
amin : 41
wan: gle gempak! so LSE la ko pasni...
amin : insyaAllah...
wan : andi pn da tau eh?
amin : aah..die dpt 40..hebat kan die?
wan : gle la korg..dua2 hebat! congratz amin!

other conversation,
wan : jang, cmne ni, nk tny cikgu ke x? kaki tangan aku dah seram sejuk ni...
jang : damn ar wan...tension aku cmni...i leave it to u la bro...
wan : nk tny jap lg la..cikgu ade meeting skrg...
jang : hurmmm...kiter tggu mlm je la bro...
wan : hurmm..ok gak...tny cikgu pn juz tau overall points je...subject points pntg gak to know we meet requirement or not

around 825pm,
miss aqyn : hello safwan!
wan : hye teacher! how are u?
M.A : im fine here..how are you?
wan : hahaha...im still waiting..dont tell me teacher!
M.A : are u sure u dont want me to tell u??
wan : i guess i still can wait for another 1 hour...=)....i heard dat u told andi bout his result...im so proud of him!
M.A : yea,i did! dont worry safwan...u r gonna b ok...u'll be as proud as him!
wan : thx teacher..definitely i'll call u later after i knew my result..
M.A : bye!

around 914,
i key in my personal code and PIN number...n after dat, i leave my lappy and went to my room...take a deep breath...grabbed my phone and start a stopwatch to count for 1 min...

after a min...
i went to my lappy again and i clicked "log IN"...
few seconds later...
i saw so many numbers...and started counting...at the same time, i scrolled down the page and saw that the total has been calculated for me...

total points : 40 =)

im so happy and couldnt be happier..! thanx so much to the people out there who always there for me when i need u..in sorrow and happy moments...without u guys, i will not be where i am today...special appreciations to all the dedicated teachers in the marvellous KOLEJ MARA BANTING who were not tired to teach us till the very last seconds to the exam hall...insyaAllah u guys will not be forgotten...
now i cant stop smiling and hopefully, this will be a good start for my new life in southampton few months ahead...

love you ayah! mmmwaaahhxx!

i was born in a non-ordinary family....hugs and kisses, its just not us...maybe we dont know how to express our feelings but we do love each other...once again, i wanna stress here, WE DO LOVE EACH OTHER...i love my ayah,emak and all 3 sisters with their husband and kids...n i strongly believe that they love me so much too...hurmmm...but believe it or not,i never hug my dad or kiss him....maybe i did when i was a kid...but as far as i remember,i never do that....its not like i dont love him..but maybe dats my family...we dont know how to show our love to each other...EGO...maybe dats the word...and it's agreed but my kak long too...and plus, we were not tought by our parents to do so...to show our love thru hugs and kisses...we didn't practice that since we were kids...

but sumtimes kan, its not like i dont want to hug and kiss them...sumtimes, when i saw my frens hug their mom and dad everytime they visit their respective child during my days at kmb and mrsm jasin,i become so envious...siyes jeles gle ble tgk my fren dpt bnde2 cmtu but i never get such thing in my life...i wish my mom and dad are like dat...but even if let say, soon they are behaving like dat, no doubt its awkward! coz we are not used to do all the hugging and kissing thingy...sure plek la kalau ttbe my dad hug me....hurmmmm?????

and MAYBE...maybe la,because of they dont teach us to show our love directly, dats y the bond between me n my parents is not that strong....yea..we did laugh sumtimes but..it only happens especially when all of the family members are together...especially during hari raya...i love aidilfitri coz at that tyme,all my 3 sisters,bros in law,niece,me and my parents are together....:)....we would laugh,eat together and stuffs....i miss those moments so much...;(...

certainly, when i have a child, i will ensure that love is in the air of my family...i wanna be a good father and a best friend of all my children....i wish one day, i could HEAR my child says,"love u ayah! mmmwaaahhxx!"...:)...which i cannot afford to say today, but only to WRITE...but at least it's successfully delivered...eventhough the medium is different..:)




to ayah,
thx for everything...:)...love you ayah! mmmwaaahhxx!....:) i can never repay all your sacrifaction..you did a lot for me...seriously...but insyaAllah, i will try my best to make you proud of your only son..happy father's day!

a story to be ponder upon.....

hurmmm....last week i started my work at usual place...it began with a task which is quite challenging yet sumtimes could be a bit boring...controlling a helicopter....it started very well...people came in and out....after few rides, there was sumthing happen....which enlighten my eyes and thoughts....

abg ET a.k.a one : ok ladies and gentlemen, please fasten your seat belt...sila pasangkan tali pinggang keselamatan anda ye.

adik comel : abg2....ni ade brg kat seat saye ni...

*adik comel pun memberikan saye barang itu....

abg ET a.k.a one : owh...ok...thanks adik...

* abg ET a.k.a one a.k.a me then quickly go to the control board and launch the helicopter ride...after that, i quickly examine the "brg" and found that it was an PSP....ermmm...its not pusat sumber pelajaran ye adik2, its portable playstation....looked like a new one coz it shines so well in black...then, i figured out that it must be the previous rider of the helicopter who left it accidentally in the heli....i ran to the next station, to ask the visitors bout the lost of belongings....

abg ET a.k.a one : emm...puan...puan ade tertinggal brg x kat heli td...?

*aunty tu dgn glabahnye check2 la brg die...then she shouted,

aunty : adik where did u put ur PSP?

*ank die ngn tersenyum2 straight away go to me to claim his PSP...

abg ET a.k.a one : r u sure this is yours?

boy : yup2....

abg ET a.k.a one : alrite...next tyme carefull k...

after i passed the PSP back to its owner, i ran back to my control board....n told my partner bout it...

abg ET a.k.a one : wei...td aku jmpe PSP kat dlm heli...br je pulangkan kat tuan die td...

partner : fuyooo...baik gle ko...kalau aku, aku dah rembat dah...

abg ET a.k.a one : ko penah amik brg yg visitor tgl ke?

partner : hurmmmm....slalu gak la....

abg ET a.k.a one : ape yg ko dah penah amik so far...?

partner : so far aku dah penah amik 5 biji handphone...kalau wallet aku x amik la..aku pulangkan...tp ade one time tu...time tu bulan pose...aku jumpe PDA...igt nk amik...tp cm bulan pose kan...cm xbes lak amik...

abg ET a.k.a one : x penah kantoi ke ngn sape?

partner : so far x lagi....aku br brangan2 nk pakai PSP....kalau aku jumpe td, for sure aku amik...agk2 sesak, aku jual la....tp besenye kalau aku jual, duit tu aku x wat bli mknn ar...aku bli bnde lain cam komik....etc...

*hurmmm.....i just pray the best for him, myself, my family, my future family and all my inheritance...hope dijauhkan from all the wrongdoings....amin~

hurmmm...supposedly, now im at sumwhere, hanging around with dina....but it was cancelled yesterday due to unavoidable thing....hurmmm.....i just cant understand myself la...why at the very first moment when i got a sudden bad news, i tend to be emotionally disturbed but actually, the so-called "bad news" was reasonable...i should understand the overall situation and should not think only about myself...it is not like She cancel the date because she loves to do so...there's a reason beneath it and it is REASONABLE! why cant i understand? but that's at the very first moment la...after a while,when the wave become calmer,when the congestion of neurons in my head has eased, everything become rational....i begin to see the problems clearly and accept it as the way it is...hurmmm...but meby that's the nature of human.....plus all the silent whispers from all the laknatullah, it just add more hatred in my heart....hurmmmm..to all people out there yg pernah terkena with my sudden emotionally disturbed, im truly deeply sorry of my wrongdoings...:(



our latest picture....after 4 months x jumpe...:)
LnMysMs....always have,always will :-*

okay! stop all the crappy jiwang thingy.....let's talk bout my new "home", petrosains...haha...supposedly, last saturday, my batch has efficiently planned to do our 2nd batch gathering at pengkalan balak, melaka....it has been planned for months but till the very last day, only 9 people has confirmed to join....out of 41 people in my batch...hurmmm....the plan was about to go on as usual but it was cancelled 2 days before the trip coz from the 9 people, 3 of them cancelled it....az has to put the priority to her family coz she has just become a MAK LANG! congratz az! hehe...while fathi and shuk has some family matters...eventhough at first tu i was like sedey jgk la coz im sooo looking forward for this trip but meby it is not our rezeki just yet to meet up and update all the stories....there's a blessing in disguise im sure..:)....
next monday, on 15 june 09, most probably, i'll join the most awaited event of the year, Volunteer Appreciation Day (VAD)....! ooooppsss....dat's maybe few years back...but not this year....the excitement to attend VAD was not as sparkling as previous year....this year, the budget has been cut....previous VAD was a great event! in 2007, we had it at the zone hotel....in the morning, there was a tresure hunt held at KLCC park and in the afternoon, all of us would boasting ourself with our own costume, according to the theme on that year, 50 years of Malaysia independence....it was such a happening,superb event....! still igt lg time tu, me n my batch has to present a sketch regarding kemerdekaan...i become a "bapak",hubby of elly who is the "emak"...we are the parents of KARIM, si sutun from UPNM...hehe...it was actually a "reverse" version of kasim selamat, a classic movie from P. Ramlee era...don't have to story more, let the pictures below do the talk...;)

my group tyme treasure hunt! kene blindfold...huhu

treasure hunt at KLCC park!


this is the scene where fatin (the who is kneeling) dah kene cucuk with her forks...hehe...from left is raja 'the karim', elly 'the emak' and me 'the bapak'...


time pengisytiharan kemerdekaan by "Tunku Abdul Rahman" a.k.a aiman...hahaha...

all the samseng kampung dusun!



in 2008, the theme was cartoon maniA! haha....we were 'forced' to wear any cartoon character costume and due to the blunderness of idea, i just wear the simplest MIB costume...haha...just put on my dad's suit and a sunglass...tadaaa! done...hehe..n my partner of the day is my cutey KIM POSSIBLE...! hehe...;)...as usual, there is a treasure hunt in the petrosains itself....it was still fun eventhough it is not held at the KLCC park as the previous year..


with my kim possible!


there were flinstone, spiderman and frens....haha...jabbawockeez pn ade??

the witches,darthvader,MIB and wolverine....where's kayla mr. logan?


hurmmm....2009? the theme is "that's 80's show"....hurmmm...but...since the company has reduced the budget for volunteers, including our working hours and events, this year's VAD won't promise any excitement i bet....the event is scheduled to start only at 3pm...there will be no running for treasure hunt whether inside or outside KLCC....no breakfast...just maybe HI-TEA and performances and awards giving ceremony....and it is scheduled to end at 6pm....wut do you expect? people,just dont expect much....and first thing first,i wont waste my money to prepare my costume....

ok then....it seems like the flow starts to overflowing....hehe...see?? sumtimes, ad-hoc work works!...we just don't need to plan....hurmmm...maybe we shud plan and it's good to plan our work...but eventually, HE will decide everything for us...just hoping the best for everyone...till then....have a good day everybody...take care...~
