Truth be told my mission to Edin byk betul halangannya...start with all the tiny thing to the big one...hahhaa...after my friend told me that we got 1 week off from class...i say ok...i just join you guys...only to be inform letter that i have classes that week...wah pain to the ass man...coz i am the one that plann all the journey...ecxept booking the train ticket n hotel...so sad at 1st give my friend the copy of my detail artinery plan yg bersusah payah aku buat...dalam hati..its ok not my rezeki i guess...dalam pada dok mencari org refill my seat sampai weekendnya diaorg ckp tak de sapa yg bleh pegi on the date...and the same day i got email from college mention that my class has been reshedule...omg...alhamdulillah...He has plan it all so well for me...hoyeeee...so Edin here i come :)

3 words that i can simply decribe Edin PANORAMIC, SMALL and HISTORIC
 
Day 1 -

Wake up at 4 am and get to King Cross St Pancras Station...with half eye open...dam London dah busy with people at this hour as the bus that we take is full house...

Train journey approximately 4 1/2 hours...view..breathless...mixture of highland, valley, biri2 and ocean baby.

Arrived...start walking to find the central mosque of Edin and have nasik beriani ori with lamb...dasar perut melayu...gi jejauh pun carik nasi...1/2 hour walking and then we notice the new building of Edin University...wow...then we got to know yang Edin Uni is cosist of half of the city...the building scarted around in the city itself...the Medical School looks like Hogwarts man...so cool...

Pergi menyesatkan diri lagi...sbb terpesona dgn all the flowers...smpai tersesat to the Medow...jauh sgt  pergi tu...hehehee...

Then we go back to the hotel dah hilang arah...hahaha...all the sudden a guys tegur n help us out and say he's working at Glasgow Uni and very familir with Malaysian n the guys with him sumpah muka melayu but he is Thailand...so greatfull...then checked in and to our surprise we got 4 beds...the receptionist say its our lucky day...maybe coz its weekdays and not busy seasons yet...

Then continue menyesatkan diri.. at 1st i tought its a short cut...but in the end its a long cut to the Calton Hill...hahhaha...nak habis nyawa...sbb on that day we have climb 2 steap road time sesat cari the centra mosque...kesihan my friend...time ni la i can feel the energy of excersing but still aku kalah dgn old couple infornt of me yg lagi laju mendaki...hebat btl...i bet they age around 60 plus...arghhhh...how come??....kena byk lagi improve la nampaknya...hahhahaa

 But when we reach to the top...its worthed...dam its soo beautiful n breathless...so green...n the bonus part can see the ocean 180 degree...felt like on the top of the world...2 hours speed to go around the hill yg kecik je sebenarnya...but we take our own sweet time enjoying each conner of the hill...hheheeehhee...

And dasar perangai Kampung girl sejati semua benda aku nak buat bergolek, memanjat sesuka hati ku...felt so fresh..can lompat2...

On the above picture are among the 2 iconic monuments lays on top of the hill....the left one is the observatory...and the right one they try to imitate the building at Athens...tp kenapa ada tiang ja???..kalu korang terfikir???...notes this hill bkn rendah...agak parit jgk utk didaki....then how la benda tu wujud??....ikt story org2 Edin they used human labour n setiap kali siap 1 tiang 1 celebration will be done...by the time the 8th piling done the owner dah tak dak duit....mengong...show how pour financial decision making done...

Due to my friend request we go back to tempat we sesat at 1st...St Paul square...sbb nak tgk live exhabition...layan...unique...its involve all the micro picture, medical and NASA collectio...then buy dinner....bread n salad for me...felt so fresh...tp kaki dah start sakit yg amat....

Near to Maghrib we go back to the hotel...nice..watch tv...take bath..solat...then aku tgk 2 org dah tergolek atas katil...

So aku pun join sekali lepas penat tgk tv...around 9 plus dlm mata tertutup aku bebel kat diorg...wanna go out or not???...my feet is still kiling me...if u girls wanna go out wake me up....then aku dah tak sedar apa yg diaorg bebel balik...hahahahaaa....sampai la subuhhhhh

New Hype

Make a wild guess what's on earth is that weird white looking thing???...the green spred below is banana leaves.....yeaaa...@ Malaysia its very famous with Java's people or Indonesian...among the many2 fav condiments that i miss in my beloved homeland

Among the many things that i worried last time when iam thinking of living overseas...far away from our continent is that how on earth i can survive without all my fav food??...fyi i can dream at night missing my brother laksa at my hometown and Ikan Pekasam pelam, masak lemak pisang muda, asam keladi, cencaluk, tapai pulut, rendang pucuk kayu, mee kuah parit bobby...n the list go on...huhuhuhu....miss it soo much....i can cook al of that but..the taste will not be same as my brother n sister own cooking...hehhhee...ok i admit iam adik manja ok..sattle...tp they are the one yg pampared me...so tak salah kan??...hehhee...among the many2 reason why every time i got holiday..my destination gonna be  my kampung instead of other places...hahhahaa...there no place like home :P

Ok lets get to the point of posting this post...opening giler meleret...wanna talk about tempe...reason y i wanna talk about it...sbb 2 days ago my housemate got homemade tempe send from New Castle my by one of future doctor in microb...giler ko nak buat tempe PHD student ok...makngah aku kat Johor sure find its funny....dia buat menatang tu pejam mata je ok...high school pun tak habis...but i bet she's very intelligent if given opportunity...ok sebelum aku lari tajuk...sambung story tempe...sedap la sbb dia guna organic beans..but utk org yg tahu...the parameter of nak tahu tempe tu sedap tak...is the sebyk mana kulat tu cover the beans...sadly the one we got tak berkulat sgt...so tak la tempe tu dpt 5 star dari aku....tp alhamdulillah la at least ade kan???

So aku pun google and tgk utube...among the many ways yg i used if i miss Malaysian food...dpt tgk kat utube pun jadi la...kesian kan???...hahahaha...amazingly tempe is not something that alien at this part of continent...amazingly rupanya they know about it...and its the main source of protien for the vegan here...sgt hype la tempe rupanya....sbb time kat malaysia aku selalu kena perli...girls why r u eating that thing...... soo kampung....hahahaa...selalunya that person mmg tak rapat dgn aku...sbb mgg ko cr pasal namanya tu...definately kena smash la...hello iam a kampung girl so what???..sampai ke bulan pun aku still akan makan benda2 kampung ni ok...hahhaa...nahhh kau ambik tempe is a hype food kat London n US ok...nak tahu how much???...400 grms...GBP3.50....RM18.50 ok!!!!...sakit perut aku nak beli yesterday...kalu kat malaysia silap haribulan 1 guni aku leh dapat....hahhahaa....makngah aku leh kaya buat menatang ni kalu dtg sini...:P

But they call wit H....tempeh...instead of tempe...maybe lidah mat saleh..suka benor menambah2 words....hahaaa...funny....the one that i buy amazingly made from???...ce teka...amazingly its from Belgium...hahaa...kelakar sungguh...ok dah lapar plak bila sebut...lets masak...bon appatite :)

Values...

How we value our self???...based on its face value...market value or what its really worth ??? ....its current state or potential value its will become and brings ???

Have you eve ask how much you are value??...what kind of varable are we putting to make up the end result in the 1st place??

In accounting there is two different way of valuing one asset...book/face value or market value...the one the compay think how much worth there are and the letter how much other people think its valued...it can be overvalue or vice versa....thus i  guess its just the same as how we value human being it self...but we always being bombarded ...do not care how much other value you but how you value your self is the most important part...

Over the few months I have been asking myself....how much am i value???..to my self and others...what kind of variables that i put in to the consideration in order to value my self and subsequently...others???....brain, looks, attitude, believe, behaviour etc?????

In real world there are even professional that take this job....show how difficult the process its need inorder to come out with the result...not only that they even give value to the valuer its self...see my point???

I leave this post with a question still...what and how much is the parameter needed in order to come to the end value itself???....how we value our self..how others value us...and the most important thing how Allah value it???

Review on Mrs Money Penny's Careers Advice Book's

Picture pls refer to my previous2 post...tak jauh rasanya gap 3 to 4...reason tak upload...hahahaa...apa lagi aku tak cukup rajin utk copy n paste balik....n tak reti nak buat link to the previous post....hahhahahaa....lameeee ;P.....

Personally its very2 good for us ladies...to set our prariority right...between our ambition n life..yea mungkin ada yg akan kata perlu ke???....based on my previous experience sgt perlu....byk benda yg she share...selalu org expect perempuan kalu live on top of her careers life must be a "Superwomen"...while sebenarnya ia adalah vice versa...

Theory yg majority women in workplace have....just do our work....dont bother about others n hopping the big gun gonna notice his hardworking staff...hhahaha....sesuatu yg aku selalu buat jgk dulu...no harm to let others know how good you are occationally....need to find a balance...networking n being a good leaders and follwers in the same time are being discuss indept in her book....something that need a lot of practice in order to be perfected insyalllah

At the end of the day...i think do what we felt we passionate about and have the sense/reason why we are doing it the 1st place...coz the end of the day what we do will be question back by Allah in the judgement day...are we gonna be able to give justification in what eva we do in this world????....we all know this life is only an investment phase....insyallah pry that He will guide us all the way and the same time we are becoming a better person each day in everything that we do...regardless what eva we are doing...

2 days ago i saw a very dedicated cleaner from my window...what caught my attention is that how detail he is in his work...even cigar butt yg kecik nak mampus yg ada at the middle of the busy road he will carefully cross it and pick it up...in deed impressed!!!..okkk...night...hope we will do better in every thing we do each single day and become a more productive muslim insyallah ;)

p/s: oh lupa hari ni tahun lompat...happy 29 Feb...lg 4 yrs baru kita jumpa lagi insyallah :)

Masam Manis

Lately aku kengkadang rasa mcm ada ribuan perasa dalam hidup...dah macam lagi over dari flavour ikan 3 rasa ikutnya...heemmmm...its life...just deal with it.....smile...and +ve kan otak...everything will be fine insyallah...jgn diberatkan kepala dgn things yg tak bawa nilai dalam hidup...

In my heart berdoa yg hati ni akan lebih tenang n jiwa ni akan lebih bersemanggat dari hari ke hari...i need it...i have too!!!....usaha..usaha...usaha...n the rest serahkan kepada yg lebih berkuasa untuk menentukan segalanya...amen.

Benda yg aku teringin skg ni...huuhuhu...nasik kerabu dgn solok ikan...muhhaahahaa....sedapnya..ok until next time...mar kita pergi berlari2 di park di hari yg indah ini :)

Lots have change...

When i look back at the few years back....lots have change...from every espect of life...particularly myself...i am becoming more conserve n private...dont really understand why...i dont have the answer...seriously.

May be due to few events that happend that i try very much to forget just did not go away as it should be...i know people will say that i am ungreatfull what so eva...but i am tired being known to people...there are no more mystries about me...i felt like an open book....i just dont favour it.

I start to grow loving my own space too much lately...the beauty of not answering anything to anybody is a bless...i know people are concern...but seriously are there???....or they just being nosie???...i know we need to think +ve with people...but my sceptical level have just outgrown me over these recent years...my dear stop blaming others....its your life...you lead it...or someone alse will....and remember the main existence of you in this world in the first place...

Oh well these is me wining again...been a while not doing it..hehheee
