these boots are made for walking

in preparation for the upcoming winter and my trip to budapest, saya telah membeli sepasang boots.

boots yg ai beli ni, crocs punye boots. so far, crocs has never failed me. it has always been comfortable and memang my favourite even in KL. So, semasa mencari gummy boots (boots ala-ala PuaChuKang, tapi jauh lebih cantik sebab ada pattern2) online sambil berym dgn kawan, my friend pointed out to me this boots yg lebih kurang mcm the one i wanted.

But, i decided to explore the website and found 1 pair that i LOVE. So, semalam, dgn semangatnya, pergi kedai crocs at this one mall, tried it on, and a few other pairs, and i bought it. it was super comfy and warm!!! me likey!!!!! a bit pricey (for me cos im always looking for a bargain), tapi i think worth the investment.

anyway, the one i bought is the berryessa. :)

cannot wait to wear it to class today, nak test power. baru je selesai menspray dia with that water resistant thingy.

:)

p/s: tp dalam hati ni, tetap ada perasaan nak beli the other boots if its el-cheapo!

jalan-jalan

mood malas tiba lagi. u see. i am already in my holiday mood. seperti tidak sedar diri that i have 1 summary due tomorrow (of which the article is in deutsch) and 4 articles to read for next week. Di samping itu, kena start kumpul bahan-bahan for my papers so that i can start doing it soonest supaya dapat lebih bergumbira semasa cuticutiuk nanti.

anyway, dalam pada itu, i have booked a trip to budapest for this weekend. i have actually been there once but i didnt really get to sightsee as it was a balang-kristal-buying-trip (if which, i incidentally didnt buy any sebab mahal gillos!). i will be going for 3 days, 2 nights. got a good bargain for an apartment for 2 people (going with a surgeon who is here doing her subs) for only 46euros!! so thats just 23 euros a piece. sangat murmurs for me. and tickets pergi balik hanyalah 24euros.

kat budapest nanti, i plan to follow the free walking tour. so it shall not be too pricey la kot kan. sekarang ni, cuma dok pikir nak tukar duit. why la depa tak guna euros??

selain itu, dok berfikir pasal makan di sana. honestly, i am not that fussy. kalau tak confirm restaurant tu halal, ai order seafood. tapi masalah problem nya mungkin surgeon itu tidak bersependapat dgn ai. takpe la labu. yg penting, ai konfiden kan? hehehe

cannot wait for my trip this saturday!!!!

p/s: masih tak de mood nak buat kerja. i blame it on the snow. *matila nak point fingers je!!

babies

my favouritest eldest boy sibuk nak tgk his favouritest tv program of all time, GGK. Oleh itu, tak boleh nak online dgn mama dia. Even papa and my favouritest no 2 also have to teman him because as AD said: tak de orang pon nak duduk dgn Dani. so it has now become a friday night thing for the boys.

favouritest no 2 pulak sekarang can ask for milk.

AA: ayong, nak yuyu

along: bukan yuyu. SU SU

AA: YU YU

Along: tak..bunyi dia macam ni: SU SU

AA: YU YU

hahahahha...i found it so funny. and the thing is, bila along stressed the susu pronounciation, AA pon stress jugak his version of susu. wkakakak.

oh, and one time, he kejut along at 3ish am because dani vomitted.

AA: ayong. ani (sambil persuade along suruh follow him)

along thought AA yg vomit. ghupenya AA kejut along sebab nak suruh along take a look at AD yang tak sehat.

another favourite would be, ani..pi! (read: dani, tepi), dap (sedap..which applies to anything related to food, ie when he sees me eating, when he is eating), nosh (nose), cat, dog, book, baju, pampers, mandi, beyak, (s)akit, (ja)tuh, (pu)sat. its amazing kan to see their development.

oh..pastu i hv to share a good news. Izard is now a proud mummy to a baby boy, Adam. both are doing fine. 3.04kg, normal without epidural. :)

Alhamdulillah, penyelia terchenta telah mereply email i yg kedua dan bersetuju jumpa ai pagi esok. *lega*

harap2, dia boleh terus tulis surat ittew dan dengan itu, bolehlah ai terus berdesup pergi ke opis majistrat untuk menghantar surat dan segala mak nenek dokumen yg diperlukan.

n, esok ai ada presentation. the thing is, i have a partner in doing this presentation. tapi ai sukahati decide nak buat my part in english. i feel like producing the report on my own, kerana susahla uols nanti cemana nak combine report stengah english stengah deutsch? yes, saya dgn pandai akan menambah lagi benda atas pinggan, as if pinggan tu belum penuh, boleh?

anyway, presentation esok marks the last presentation this sem. woot woot! lepas ni, just tinggal 1 summary, 4 compulsory reading and summary and CUTI. yeahoooo............

walaubagaimanapon, sy harus tekankan di sini bahawa, saya masih kena berkerja semasa cuti. iye...ai ada 4 paper utk ditulis. *sob sob*.

bila dah 2 orang anak

today, i got a very upsetting news from my sister regarding AD's habit which i really despise. The thing is, it was sort of 'encouraged' by my very own mother and what upsets me most is, she continues to encourage it depite knowing how much i dont like it. siap suruh my sister hush hush lagi. haih.

so, today, i finally had it. i text-ed my mom to stop doing whatever she is doing and called Dr Sunshine to tell him about this matter. So, masa online tadi, Dr Sunshine and I reprimanded AD for his behaviour. Actually, I just told him to be a good boy, and kalau nak jadi good boy kena behave. kalau behave to, maknanya cannot do some things. pastu, Dr Sunshine talked to him in a garang tone. and next thing u know, AD menangis. tapi tak de la menangis meraung tu..jenis. menangis senyap2 sebab sedih. i felt a bit guilty, but what to do.

lepastu, Dr Sunshine cakap, maybe AD upset sbb dia sorang je kena tegur, so we had to tegur AA as well. I tell you, AA's face was so funny. the papa had to held him up near the camera, and then i just told him to behave (pastu papa dia tambah kat belakang: jangan raba perut...tu kan habit dia..wkakakaka...tak salah pon raba pusat sendiri). pastu, si AA juga jadi upset. wakakakak...

so, Dr Sunshine's solution was, bagi susu and ask them to sleep. So, he made a bug fuss about nak buat susu, only to realize, masa dia masak air, dia lupa nak switch on the plug. wakakakaka....Akibatnya, AA menangis kesedihan sebab nak susu sangat sangat. i think he was sleepy. he cried the whole time sementara tunggu air masak. kesian anak mama. hehehe...

kisah renew visa

hmm..the thing about tinggal dan menetap di sini adalah, visa kena renew setiap tahun. adalah agak leceh disitu kerana, tiap2 tahun kena spend beratus euro, di samping menfotostat dokumen2 yg perlu.

so anyway, i actually was pretty confident that i had all my documents in line pagi tadi semasa me-renew visa. tapi, first, let me tell you, yg i dah byk kali menerima layanan kurang baik dari pekerja2 kat opis visa tu. antara lain, mereka pernah

- membaling pasport ke arah saya (nasib ada kubikel kaca maka passport tak kena kat muka saya tetapi terbounce back)

- dimarah kerana tidak fasih berbahasa german

- di caci sebab ada hati nak berurusan dgn depa walaupun bhs german yg kucar kacir sehingga dorang kata lenkali dan dtg sini, sila bawa translator sebab kami tak layan uols yg cakap english (padahal ada sorang mamat american ni ok je dia layan lemah lembut sambil berbahasa Inggeris, wtf?)

jadi, i was actually quite nervous ok masa pergi pagi tadi. i got ready after subuh and was the second kunden to tekan nombor ittew. ofis pon belum bukak tapi mak semangat uols!!!

anyway, tahu tak, dalam byk2 dokumen that i hv meticulously photostated, ada jugak yg tak cukup!! the thing is, yg tak cukup tu wasnt even stated in the list of things i must provide for them. jadi, adalah agak tidak adil disitu.

despite giving them my guarantee letter which states that i am a fully sponsored student, mereka masih tidak puas hati dan mahukan my bank statements for the last 8 weeks.

selain itu, mereka mempersoalkan kenapa ai tak ambik byk kelas semester sebelum ini? adakah salah ai, ai sakit? adakah salah ai, i tak sempat register utk kelas sebab sakit and hence, i decided to start on writing sikit2? and buat a bit of literature search? i ni doktorat studentin wahai puanmejistret.jadinye, dia nak surat dari penyelia tercinta. Alhamdullillah, penyelia dah reply email and cakap ok..dia akan tulis surat cinta buat puanmejistret.

hmph...i tell you, semasa melalui semua ni, mmg rasa takut..takut tak dapat visa. uols..kat sini birokrasinya melampau ye. dia akan check results uols. if non ado yg passnye, alamat susah la nak continue visa ittew.

anyway kan, i hv a theory. i think, puanmejistrat thinks that i am working instead of studying. tu yg nak tgk bank statement bagai (in case ada gaji masuk kan) and juga surat dari SV (sbb nak tgk betul tak ai work on my thesis). ai honest ok uols!!

neway uols. doakanla yg i will get my visa. insyaAllah.

p/s: pasal bendalah visa ni, terus takde mood nak prepare for presentation. padahal presentation hari kamis ni. *matila.....

- nak dijadikan cerita, i was pickpocket-ed for the second time. not my rezeki, i guess. i lost my atm card and 100euros. dah bukan rezeki ai kot. *sedih*

- had some makan2 in my flat today. i made kuah kacang!!!! sedap pulak tu. hih hih. i also made raspberry jelly and murtabak maggi. there was laksa, nasi impit, lemang and serunding as well. okla kan for sambutan bujangs kat sini.

- i bought a tefal wok and also the pan to buat crepes cos it was on sale. tak sabar nak tunggu wok with cover to be on sale plaks.

- i still have to prepare for my presentation (this thursday), summary (due on tuesday) and documents for my residence permit.

- kena collect some documents from the post office.

- nak kena apply for residence permit. haih...sangatla malas tapi ini perkara yang langsung tidak boleh dielakkan. would do it on tuesday, the day my permit expires.

- esok nak apply for another debit card so that i can beli tiket balik kl. yer, saya ingat nak mensurprisekan husband saya untuk our 5th wedding anny. sweet tak? *matila angkat bakul sendiri

- i feel overwhelmed with my workload. tapi i can do it, kan?? tapi harini no mood. how? should i watch something on the net instead??? i mean i sort of have an idea of what i want to present on thursday, cuma nak kena prepare powerpoint la.

- oh...sifat malas, sila nyah dari sini. i want to feel energetic.

- going to salzburg this december. woot woot!

- i might have some thing to reveal soon. tapi kena tungguuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
