jury summons

Dalam dok tunggu kad ucapan Aidilfitri.. tup tup.. yang ni pulak sampai..

Haha.. tak pernah termimpi nak kena panggil jadi juri untuk perbicaraan, alih2 duduk kat UK kena panggil pulak yer? Tergamam sekejap, and then I realize that I don’t qualify anyway, as I have only been here for 2 years, whereas you need to be [...]

busy mummy, happy daddy & cheeky Afwan Daniel: the update

After 4 months post-interim assesment, my SV and I have weighed our options and finally came to an agreement to conduct the data collection in Malaysia. We have refined our research questions, tweaked our approach and hopefully will formulate the appropriate tool for our research. Ethical approval [...]

Acar buah utara

Our appetite for sahur is running low, now that Ramadhan has passed its 15 days mark. There are days that we just woke up, and stared at each other not knowing what to eat… padahal makanan bertimbun dlm fridge. And then I remembered, my parents will always have some acar buah in the kitchen during [...]

We have been married for 3 years now, and together for 5 years. Not a day pass me by without me thanking God for bringing my other half into my life. Semoga dipanjangkan lagi jodoh kami berdua hingga ke akhir hayat, Amin.

Happy Anniversary, my love. Thank you for loving me the way I am.

5 hours :)

It has been almost 2 weeks since we decided that Daniel should sleep in his own room… He has been doing well sleeping on his own, but so many things happen (i.e. balik Msia for 6 weeks, then winter, then mummy depressed so must have him near all the time, then mcm2 lagi…) and by [...]

dugaan

Our car gave us a surprise this very morning… on the day it is supposed to get MOT’ed, on the way to the garage.
Right in the middle of the busy Regent Street ok!
Hopefully the mechanic would be able to fix it. I hate to think of what will happen if not.
Dugaan.
Sabarlah wahai hati.

When my parents came, it was really fun to spend time with them each morning, perusing and greeting each [...]

bedtime battles

It has been going on for more than 3 months now. I really had hoped that it is just a phase that Daniel will grow out of eventually, however my endurance to not having a proper night’s sleep is wearing thin.
With the pile of work I have going on in my research, sleep is such [...]

Bon voyage Abah & Mama :)

We bid farewell to Abah & Mama yesterday, after 3 months and 1 week having them stay with us. We then drove 4 hours back to Eccles, while they took a 13 hour flight back to KL. Sebak pulak bila mengenangkan jarak ribuan batu dan betapa susah payahnya Abah & Mama datang jenguk kami 3 [...]
