Ala-ala built in, tapi ukur sendiri.

Curtain plak, masih dalam proses pemasangan.

Lampu, the electrician tak mai pasang lagik yang baru beli tu.

Aircond and stove bakal dibeli.

tak sabar i nak balik tengok rumah cemana!

dr sunshine is moving in bulan april ini, inshaAllah. :)

shopping tak habis habis

the trip to Pandorf yesterday was successful. :)

I berjaya rembat 2 le creuset caserole dishes to match kan dengan my polish ceramic caserole dishes and salt and pepper shaker and 1 spice jar.










Then, I also bought stuff at villeroy and boch: 1 deep serving dish and 4 gourmet plates, at 50per cent off!!!! I have been very interested in this particular design since last year tapi bila tengok harga at the kedai in the city, memang la tak dapat nak beli.Bila dah half off, terus i ambik you!!



i ingat nak tambah 2 bowls. Tapi tak de kat pandorf ittew so mungkin i kena pergi beli kat the store in the city.

what else?

oh...i got my dolce gusto capsules in the city. They had a special pack of 6 +2 for less than 30euros. Maka sangat berbaloi-baloi. I bought 1 special pack tu jer. Am planning to get 1 or 2 more. :)

Other than that, my shopping list has dwindled. I am contmplating nak beli ke tak coffee cups punye set and tall glasses for my ice lattes. Tinggal tu je la kot.

Periuk-periuk ni, mungkin tak beli dah. I think I have enough, for now.

Am going to only make one trip tomorrow to hantar barang because after that, I want to concentrate on reading my thesis' proofread copy. Nak tengok balik and hope I sempat baca everything by tomorrow. After that, ingat nak print out and hantar by end of this month, insyaAllah.

Doakan ai yer, uols. :)

hari ni, i took a break from lugging the luggages. I have made nine trips so far!!! Nanti ai akan ambik gambar of all the stuff I carried, once I finished. Just to let you know, the small room is almost filled with my stuff. I have 6 boxes so far....tu pon sebab dah tak de kotak kosong. So the rest of my stuff will be packed by the movers, i guess.

so, since today rest day, I decided to pergi beli barang yang masih belum dibeli.

I still need to buy
- botol susu
- serving dishes
- coffee capsules
- tall glasses for my cuppacino
- cake stand
- dutch oven

I bought the botol susu already. Coffee capsule tu, dah ada juga, but I want to get 8 more boxes.

Serving dishes and dutch oven tu, I plan to buy esok, since I am going to the outlet. Might get the cake stand there as well. Tall glass tu, I am not sure if nak beli ke tak. If jumpa, i beli. If tak de, i tak beli.

Aside from that, I got my thesis back from my proof reader. I still have yet to read it through. I plan to do it this monday, inshaAllah.

Esok, ingat nak cari kasut as well. And t-shirts. And other nice stuff to wear to work.

And, sedar tak sedar, I only have less than 10 weeks left.

p.s: my biceps are more defined semenjak kerja-kerja angkut barang ni. hih hih.

bibik or no bibik?

Hmm....dah dekat nak balik ni, macam-macam pulak lah idea Dr Sunshine.

Firstly, dia tetiba cakap tak nak hantar Dani to SRAI. There goes my keinginan. :( So, sekolah kebangsaan it is. But, I am going to try and get him placed in one of the smart schools, inshaAllah.

And now, he asked me to think about having a bibik. Sigh. I don't know. His argument (to have bibik) seems to make sense. BUt on the other hand, I don't like to have another person living in my house. So, how?

Why should I have bibik (menurut dr sunshine)
-the amount we are going to fork out for daycare + weekly cleaner is more than what we would fork out if ada bibik (who will be able to clean the house everyday)
- if mak or MIL datang, ada la teman kat rumah
- house will be clean.
- I would not be tired sangat sebab ada orang tolong buat house chores.
- we can go out for late night movies and mamak, without having to carry the boys (yang tengah tidur)
- can go for bike rides.
- senang mak to datang stay with us (we are trying to pujuk her to stay with us..hehe...along with my Along. :))

why i don't feel like having a bibik
- because I don't like having a stranger in the house
- i have trust issues and takut nak tinggalkan my boys with her.

so cemana sekarang ni uols?

to have bibik or not?

i was thinking, if nak ada bibik, Dr Sunshine kena install cctv so that i can see what she is doing.

hmm...if you were in my shoes, nak bibik ke tak??

the husband wants to buy an er6 and minta ai sponsor half of the down payment. I cakap ok. Dan dia amat surprise yang i bagi dia beli motor.

Ai kata: Yes, i tak kisah. Because I am sure you dah fikir betul-betul. Yang pasti, you kena take into account nak hantar anak2 daycare and etc. If you dah kira, and still rasa cukup, go ahead.

Ok tak jawapan i? Prinsip i. sebab motor tu kehendak dan bukan priority. Maka, in my opinion, lepas dah beli motor ni, ai bolehlah lenggang kangkung dan contribute minimal amount sahaja to the household expenses. Kata mampu, kan?

:)

destinasi belajar

i am excited!!!

sebab someone from embassy called me to cakap yang ada sorang malaysian going to pursue her phd here.

excited pasal apa tau? She's coming in April. I am leaving mid/end april. So, saya excited sebab bolehlah dia duduk rumah ai ni.

Dia memang ada suruh i carikan rumah untuk dia. For me, senang lagi if dia duduk sini. Lagipon, its not easy to cari rumah. I lost count of how many houses I viewed before settling on this particular flat.

Anyway, doakan la ye dia agree duduk sini.

Pasal hangkut barang,i have made 5 trips so far. Each time, i hanya larat bawa satu big luggage bag sahaja. I didn't want to strain myself by bringing two luggage bags at once. Sebab tram tu, bukan semua yang baru. If dapat yang lama, nak kena hangkut naik tangga tram lama tu satu hal. So, my strategy so far (dah 2 hari amalkan) is to carry aaron guna carrier tu, and seret cabin size bag filled with stuff. Letak bag and Aaron at friends house and balik rumah ambik beg beg besar pulak, one at a time. Sehari, maximum 3 trips je so far. Sebab nanti kena unpack plak at my friends house and repack masuk kotak. Memang penat.

Esok, I plan nak angkat my books and files and papers, bags and toys. I think first trip will consist of bags and some other bajus. Trips after that baru bawak toys and books. Then nak bawak benda2 kaca pulak.

PAstu the day after nak bawak bouncer, followed with car seat.

Pastu kena pi shop for other stuff like coffee capsules and milk bottles and scan pan knives and serving dishes.

then, have to tengok betul2, apa2 lagi yang mungkin tertinggal.

Hopefully, I will finish everything by the end of the week. And then, can concentrate balik on thesis. Which is, go through proof edited copy, print, bind and submit.

Wish me luck!!

p.s: sapa nak pi kuekenhof dgn i april ni?? Jom???

oh em gee *pekup mulut*

i have started packing my stuff!

OMG. Banyaknya barang nak pack. Can I just pengsan now??? Pack tu satu hal. Nak menghangkut it all the way to my friends house (with anakanda in tow) satu cerita plak. *pengsan lagi sekali*

I only have a week to do this!!!! Maknanya, lagi seminggu, rumah ai bakal jadi 3/4 kosong!!!

Esok, inshaAllah, I will be sending off 3 bags of clothes (in 2 trips). If sempat, I might also pergi kedai villeroy utk beli 2 serving plates to mix and match kan dengan the 2 serving plates I already bought dekat czech tu.

Some other things which I still need to get adalah
1. botol susu
2. scan pan kinves
3. pie maker
4. ice cream maker
5. coffee capsules
6. coffee cups/ tall glasses(tho this one kalau ada ok..if tak de tak apa)
7. bodum tea maker thingy
8. cake/dessert transporter
9. the coffee press coffee maker thingy

esok, i nak pi drop of 2 bags, leave aaron, and head to saturn to check out ada pie maker or ice cream maker. if ada, beli, and drop it off. then balik rumah to get one more bag. drop that off. then balik and maybe head to lutz to get that tea maker thingy and the dessert transporter thingy.

yes. i is very the gigih. haruslaa...

pastu nak kena pack pulaaakkk!!!!!!!!!! and next day kena transport benda2 lagi.

Sampailah semuanya selesai.

thinking about it makes me TIRED. But what to do. Dah nak tumpang orang kan. Kena la buat, by hook or by crook. Dah la my auntie out of town. If ada, can la minta tolong bawak barang2 naik keta. Dah tak ada, makannay, I have to lug the heavy stuff naik turun tram. Well, have to lah kan.

Still loads of things to pack!!!!!!

*pengsan*

sometimes I wonder, how the hell did I manage to accumulate so much stuff and stash it in my closets??

shopping spree

you see, i was planning totumpang a friend's contena to ship my stuff back. She was supposed to balik somewhere in April/ May. Sekali, dia dapat surat transfer few days ago...and her date of transfer is 29feb!!

OMG.

Maka, I pon tumpang panic sekali because this means that I would have to start packing as well. On top of that, there were still a lot of stuff on my to buy list!! And, the thought of transporting my stuff to her place pon agak membuatkan i risau sangat uols!! Yela..dengan nak bawak baby lagi, nak pi hantar-hantar barang lagi. How??

Tapi, nak tak nak, I have to do it. I will start bringing my stuff over to her place this Sundaym by batches.

And, on top of that, I have been shopping. Today je, I spend a lot of money!! errghhh...tapi, nasib tengah sale kan. So thank god for that!!

Today, i bought 1 stock pot, 1 fleisch pot, 1 set of stainless steel knives with the knive block and 1 dolce gusto coffee maker. I tell you, the knives tu, tak de dalam list pon. Tapi tergoda dengan rupa bentuknya. And it won't rust kan. So I thought its a good purchase. hehe. I wanted to buy another pan, tapi decided not to sebab nak kena bajet-bajet juga uols!!!

Pastu, I beli dolce gusto genio. I have been reading a lot of reviews. I was actually torn between getting an espresso machine OR a coffee maker yang guna capsules tu. Bila pikir-pikir, I don't really drink coffee so baik la beli yg guna capsule tu cos ada banyak flavour like chai tea latte, hot cocoa and even iced tea. Pastu, it was on sale (less than 100euros), so, i pon hambik jer la. :) Oh...one thing...dia ada international warranty and there's a service centre in Malaysia. So, ok la kan...dia ada 2 year warranty.

Esok, I plan to beli serving dishes, cake stands, coffee cups.

What else should I buy?

I haven't started packing. Honestly, I dread thinking about it!!!

First, I nak pack baju2, shoes.

Then, nak angkut my electrical appliances and pinggan mangkuk and kitchen stuff

Then buku-buku, toys

Oh....my house will be quite empty after next week.

Alang-alang dah pack bagai, I might as well balik cepat sikit, kan?

p.s: thesis dah dihantar to proof reader! :) InshaAllah dapat balik next week. I'll have to go through it again and then can submit.

p.ps:I am done with courseworks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

p.p.p.s: Lepas dah hantar thesis ingat nk pi holiday. Pastu nak kena tulis paper plak for 2 conferences and 1 book chapter.

pastu boleh balliikkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!

doakan yer uols.

it only takes one stupid bitch to ruin a beautiful relationship.

i can forgive.

but, i never forget.

belum sampai waktu

hello all.

looks like i won't be submitting my thesis this week after all.

i am almost done with the citation thingy. tinggal a few je yang i cannot find the article in my hard drive. and uni library punya website tengah baiki so i cannot access online journals from home. so esok, i plan to go to uni to settlekan the citation thingy, pi pinjam 1 buku to cari citation and lepak kat this coffee shop i have been wanting to go to and edit my thesis.

what is left to do?

1. edit thesis
2. get my abstract translated to deutsch
3. format my thesis
4. last editing before i submit.

who knew, all this nitty gritty stuff actually takes time!! it doesnt help that Aaron is being extra clingy. :( it is almost done. i am almost there.

tapi honestly, i am still waiting for some feedback from my friend. I minta tolong dia to go through my thesis and give some comments. i hope that i would have time to work on her comments ittew. i really nak hantar my thesis. tapi at the back of my head, i fikir i should hantar a SUPERBLY written thesis. sebab kat sini, tak ada dah correction bagai. apa yang you hantar, itulah ur work. tak de konsep correction lepas viva and etc. so i might as well submit something good, kan?

tapi i feel the need to submit cepat because i really hope that i sempat viva before i leave for good.

anyway, i have decided to work on my thesis till friday.

weekend ni, i will have to start working on my paper which i need to submit on feb 15th.


p.s: i think andi misses me la. he has been asking me every day, bila nak datang. tsk. only a few more weeks sayang.

tolong. tolong.

today has been a very super duper trying day!!

nak jugak bagitahu, it is not easy to be a single mom with a baby while doing phd.

baby that is in his seperation anxiety phase. if tidur nak cuddle manjang.

how la am i suppposed to do my work? how? how?

lagi lagi sekarang ni saat genting

i really need to finish this. tinggal sikit je lagi tapi my son is not cooperating! i know he is just a baby. but he doest not want to sleep. does not want to play sorang. why god? why minggu ni dia macam ni???

dah la tu. macam2 nak jadi. air milo tumpah dekat my external!!! nasib external ok.

apa pon. i am so bloody stressed. arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

i need some time to think. alone!

i need peace and quite.

i may sound selfish now. tapi i tell you. siapa yang tak melalui apa yang i rasa, you wont know how i feel.

so, siapa yang ada suami/mak or whoever di sisi masa buat phd, silalah bersyukur banyak-banyak.

i am trying my hardest to finish up my citation thingy. but, as much as i love to say its much easier with google books, i still need to read the chapters/book to jumpa bebetul the page number. so no. its NOT EASY.

sempat ke tak ni habis by jumaat?

i have already sub kan kerja check my reference to orang lain.

i just need to complete my citations thingy AND edit and reedit again.

on top of that, i have a paper due on feb 15th. and paper tu, i tak buat apa langsung lagi!!

help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sedih

sebab apa sedih? sebab iols kengkonon fenfeeling nak suprisekan husband dengan mulberry wallet yang dibeli di Paris (sebab vienna tak de mulberry store uols!). mak rasa dah cantik dah.

tapi.

suami tak berapa suka sebab tak muat duit malaysia. if nak muatkan, kena lipat2 duit. yela..masa beli tu, iols test dengan duit euro ajer. :(

maka, terasa sedikit sedih disitu sebab dia tak suka.

if only dia tahu how jauh i had to walk to find the mulberry store kat rue honorore ittew!!! penat ok. hmm...takpela, pengorbanan.

pastu, i beli juga polo shirt lacoste for him, long sleeve. satu tu belang-belang. satu tu plain colour but it has a pocket kat depan tu. adeke dia kata yg plain colour tu reminded him of his pbsm shirt masa zaman sekolah menengah? apakah motif meng-comparekan shirt lacoste dengan t-shirt pbsm sekolah?

maka, iols adalah upset harini. tapi iols bebuat tak upset la bila dia ala-ala komplen pasal my gifts. :(

logik kan i upset? kan?

p.s: i emailed mulberry to ask if i can exchange the wallet to something else in the KL store. if not, maybe can post it back or something. alang-alang exchange, baik mak beli alexa atau poly push lock sebijik. *oopsss*

p.ps: iols tak sempat update pasal paris trip sebab amat busy nak ngabiskan thesis nieh!! but lets just say, i bought a few bags. hih hih.

to do

1. citations for chapter 6 (tgh nak buat) and 1
2. check list of references (hopefully can sub kan benda ni to someone)
3. print out chapters and abstract
4. edit chapters and also abstract
5. write acknowledgement
6. print everything
7. edit everything, again.
8. print
9. upload on the system
10. bind and SUBMIT!

plan to habiskan no 1 by esok.
no 3 and 4 to be done tomorrow
5,6,7 by wednesday
8,9 and 10, by friday, inshaAllah

ps: assignment bila nak buat?? uwaaaa....*gabra*

i wonder...

is it wrong if a girl tak suka if the husband socialises with his girl colleagues/staffs after office hours?

diskriminasi di ikea smaland

today, dr Sunshine took my boys to ikea. He wanted to pergi survey barang-barang. Sesambil tu, boleh bagi the boys run around and play in the Smaland kan.

Neways, few weeks back, Andi was not allowed to play inside because katanya tak cukup tinggi.

This time around, Dr Sunshine tried his luck, again.

Kali ni, there was this mom of three girls yang q depan dr Sunshine. The girls tu, sorang, bigger than Andi. lagi dua were obviously smaller in size and were not even potty trained!! (ada rules yang kalau nak letak anak kat situ, dah kena potty trained). So, the orang jaga entrance smaland to obviously kenal the mom and three kids from the way she greeted them by name and chit chat lama like oohh...dah lama tak nampak! how are you girls and etc. Needless to say, they got in easily.

Pastu, tiba giliran andi and dani. Dia tanya Dr SUnshine, dah ukur ke height Andi kat the chart to see if he is allowed in. Dr Sunshine kali ni jawab: Well, he is certainly taller than your Fatima and Zahra (Dr Sunshine heard the names..hehe). Pastu, the girl tersenyap. And pandang belakang kat the girls and looked at andi, obviously to compare their height. Finally, dia bg la si andi masuk.

Nasib baik.

apa pon, mmg byk songeh ok! kalau dapat tukang jaga yang mengada,kesian andi.

sharing is caring #7

i jumpa my sv last Tuesday and he told me that he wanted to go through my references, which I had not printed out. The reason I did not print out was because I have yet to properly susun it according to alphabetical order. sigh. Maka, sejurus selepas balik rumah, I set out to arrange the references.

Needless to say, I found the task to be tiring. Its not easy to go through pages of references and susun it accordingly. So I thought, I might as well give some tips to those who are about to embark on a PhD journey or even tengah buat masters.

You see, when are a postgrad student doing research, you are bound to read hundreds of books and articles, some of which you may use in your thesis. The list may be loooonnngggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg and the work it takes to susun it would be quite arduous.

So, I gave an idea to my Dr Sunshine, who is about to embark on this research journey himself, regarding this --compilation of references.

I propose that he creates a file for references in which there are sub files with each alphabets. Maka, there will be 26 sub files altogether. So, whenever he reads an article/book, boleh terus type out or cut and paste the source to the respective alphabet file.

NAnti, at the end of the day, all he needs to do is re arrange the source accordingly in the files, and then combine everything together. I think, this would be a more efficient way dari what I am doing right now. Yela, masa I tulis allmy source,I thought I was being efficient already, but apparently, there's still room for improvement.

MAka, itu saja my tips of the day yang ingin di sharing-is-caring-kan.

hope it will benefit you!!!

february is here

i met my sv yesterday. Pastu, dia finally skimmed through my thesis and asked me to add 5 or 6 pages in my chapter 1, I guess to make my argument clearer. Honestly, I think I just need to re-structure my chapter 1. Tapi tulah...maka ai akan re-work on my chapter 1.

Then, he asked me to add the page numbers for citations yang I tulis. That, my friends, would need a lot of work because I really need to korek balik buku and articles that I reffered to.

So,my list of things to do is:

1. redo chapter 1
2. write abstract and sent it to be translated
3. update reference (citations dengan page numbers)
4. Print everything
5. write cv
6. write acknowledgement
7. edit everything
8. re-edit everything
9. re-edit again
10.print
11. HANTAR!!!!

i hope to finish 1-5 by this weekend.

on top of that, I still have a journal article to write for an assignment, which, sekarang, credit hournya tak diperlukan pon sebab i am done with collecting credits since my contirbution to a book would be given 5 credits. woot woot!!! but, i would still need to write it la kan. deadline adalah 15 feb.

other than that, I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy and bersyukur yang I am done with collecting credit hours. Betul kata orang, biar terover-over ambik courses and ada extra credits in hand, dari sikit dan alih-alih tak cukup pulak!

aside from that, sv finally contacted that prof from Klagenfurt and she agreed to be the second reader of my thesis. Alhamdullillah.

So now, all is left to do adalah no 1-10, and I will be done, well, at least until VIVA.

I can do this right???

InshaAllah.
