Departure, then arrival..

My family is going back in 7 hours time Hmmmmm…. i am feeling a little blue now. I wish they could stay a little longer, as Ive enjoyed their visit this time around. Our final dinner tonight was at Inn Noodle in Bayswater. After been convinced by Yan that they have the best duck rice and such, I managed to persuade my family to have our final dinner there.

Yan you were right, they have the bestest duck feast ever!!! I love my noodle too! I had Beef something Chilli Oil.. hhahaha..Cant remember the name.. but all of our food were as tasty as it looks. Trust me, worth the money you pay. Thank you Yan for convincing me. Yuummm…I definitely will go again!

It is two am.. and i am still awake. What’s wrong?

Sighhh…

3 43 .. still awake…

hmmm…

Its gloomy, dull but end up being EXCITING :D

What a gloomy morning..  I am wearing black, well black stripy shirtla.. mourning for yesterday’s lost. As most of you know, Man U lost, sighhh I am utterly disappointed but what can I do about it? I did not manage to convince my family to come back home quicker yesterday and yeah, thank god for that!! Barca won in the end but it is alright, we already have three titles :D and Barca played well .. You know, you cant have everything in this world :P . Oh man.. poor my dearest Ronaldo. He looks distraught in this picture but it is OK, There are more matches in the future… We can TAKE our title back, aaaarrrrr!!!

ronaldo

Oh my poor Ronaldo :(

Anyway, yesterday’s dinner was fun! We went to eat at my dads restaurant in Westfield, LoL, I wish!!! The restaurant’s called Del Aziz, so we made jokes the whole time, acting as if it belongs to my dads. The food was excellent as always. Just look at the food, delicious?

After work, i went straight to H&M to grab the shirts designed by these selected artists : Katy Perry, Dita Von Teese and Yoko Ono amongst others for Fashion Against Aids campaign. This is my May Charity work, hahah yes i am doing it in style (Who said you cant do charity in many ways huhh??) I went to Regent’s Street branch and i managed to buy 3 tops by Dita Von Teese, Estelle and DAA t-shirt. But i was so sad, there was no more Katy Perry’s, feeling slightly down, i walked slowly towards Oxford Street tube station. And then, jeng jeng jeng… I saw another Oxford Street H&M branch, *slapped forehead*, you silly little girl, there is always another branch du-uhhh (this is why you love high street shopping)! Went in and grabbed straight away the first size 8 Katy Perry top.. O.M.G. best nyerrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!! I see smiley face on the shirt and on my face too :D .. yeayyyy! Now i am a happy bunny..

Got to Sloane Square by 6.30 pm, got lost for half and hour (my iPhone keeps crashing every now and again, grrr!!) then finally made it to Awana restaurant, thank you to Top Table, for the first time i was able to treate my family to a fine dining dinner. Alhamdulillah, i can say i am proud of myself for being able to do that,  I’ve made it this far, and i think my family is proud of me too AMIN! I love me family !! Anyway, did you know that Drog, Natte and I have been in the OK magazine? If you don’t believe me, go to Awana restaurant, you can see our picture with Dato’ Jimmy Choo.. haaaa.. tak tipu!! (ni muka innocent k!) LOL.. We were dancing for Bernard Chandran’s launching for his London Branch. It was a great event, we danced for 15 minutes for the guests. It was one of our best performance, right girls?! I think I have been utilizing my time in the UK the best that I could, hehe well, hopefully there are more to come……

Awana 1Awana’s dessert: Pulut hitam, sorry was too hungry and ate all the food in like 20 minutes? hahaha

Awana 3That’s us with Dato’ Jimmy Choo! :D yes yes.. second from the right ..

Then we drove around London Town, and Ara was sooooooooo excited, from day 1 she kept on wanting to ride on a bus, so today my very kind brother parked the car and Arief, Kak Za and myself took Ara on a bus ride. She was soooo quiet in the bus, trying to savour the moments, i guess.. but it was nice to see her, even a 2 year old can appreciate a bus ride, how fascinating :D . 2 more days and 2 more nights left, time flies isn’t it when you are having fun and I’ve started to miss them :( .. well its ok, ill be back home for another 64 days (i am counting)! Till then, i am off to lala land ..

Go Red Devils!

I never have liked watching football as much as I do now If I’ve never met Ifham. Before i met him, I used to get bored or quickly change the channel when it’s on (haha id rather watch cartoon honestly).But now, it is only 12:15pm and I am already nervous for tonight’s match between Manchester United and Barcelona. Come on Man U, you can do it! I think it will be a good match :D . I can’t deny both teams are very strong, and I do think both teams deserve to be in the final. Anyway, my family and I will be in Westfield this late afternoon to get some more goodies. I hope I can convince them to come back earlier for the match (ehhee, ill try and trick them one way or another, shhhh, our little secret). It will be a very very very HANGAT night. Dina is a Barca supporter and obviously la I MAN U kan! I remembered asking Azim if I can watch the match at his house and he replied (somewhere along those lines) : This house can only support Barca.. ahhaha takut kalah la tu :P *uwekkk* .. Well, we will see, GAMBATTE KUDASAI!…

On a funnier side, today for some reason, all of my tops that I’m wearing has at least 1 button dropped off. Geram betul! I don’t really mind my shirt but my new cardigannnn.. whyyyyy?? I only realised it when I was in the bus.. Shucksss… Oh well, I will have to make do with what I have.. Perhaps I now have a reason to get another new cardigan, hmmmm SPOIL BRAT! No la.. ill try and jahit another button.

Anyway, GO MAN U!!!!! Ok everyone pray for our success!!

Love,

Full weekend, with love

At the moment my life is just a bowl of cherries, although I can’t deny the weather is driving me insane. My brother (+his family) and my dad are here, they have been here for only 3 days but we have done quite a lot. We went to Canterbury, Whitstable and Dover in Kent on Saturday for a little sight seeing and today we managed to go to Oxford and Bicester Village for a little indulgence. Oh and yes, I did shop again without fail. I told my brother that I will not shop this time but I end up buying the most .. LOL.. and I was made fun of my brother the whole journey back home. But it was all worth it!

Anyway, while I was in Kent, it reminds me a lot of my beau since we spend most of our courting time in Kent but it was alright, I managed. Canterbury was quite lovely, the aim was to appreciate the old buildings, Dover was to visit history (used to be a battle field?), pretty but people there are not very friendly (my opinion). And Whitstable is my oh my god favouritest :D , the pebble beach and seafood!!!! I wished ifham had brought me there much earlier.. hahaha takde222 gurau :P .

yummmm.. the wheeler seafood barThis is the seafood bar Ifham recommended. I asked for a dozen oyster thought that everyone will have one or two. I ended up eating half a dozen and the rest is now donated to other people. But the oyster was fresh and yummy!!

oyster yummOyster yumm.. but i wouldn’t recommend to you Natte. Tak de la best sgt pon!

Dover portThe port, view from White Cliff, gorgeous.. I want to go on a CRUISE!! anyone fancy a trip?

Today, we drove through Oxford. My father loves the old buildings and since he is a historian, he also loves the fact that the university is about 600 years old. Hmmm.. Obviously, Bicester Village was my sister in law and my favourite stop~ as I have said, bought more than I should have  (senanya tak banyak  pon but still!!) The new part of Bicester Village is now open, hence more shops, more options: crazy.  But my favourite shop was Cath Kidston. YANNNN ITS AMAZINNGGGLY CHEAPPP!  I bought a new towel, passport case, tea cosy and oven mitt. Love love love Cath Kidston, thanks to Kelly for introducing!

By the way, Dina has moved in to our house. She has only been here for a week but we have done so much together. Since my happy family is here, all three of us end up crashing into Dina’s room. Thank you Deens and Darling, they have been very helpful and understanding. Well, my family will be here for a few more days and Natte is finishing her exams soon. I cant wait to see Yas and herself. Good luck korang! Gambatte ne! Natte sikit lagi.. then can rest and enjoy Yas pampering you .. yeay!

Save a penny.. no save a lot!

Its Thursday again, time flies so quickly isn’t it? Well as usual another Thursday that i have my Tinnitus Cognitive Behavioural Therapy course in Birmingham ( half way through, yippie!) So on my way to Euston station i read Metro and i saw an article about M&S penny Bazaar. Too lazy to read through but i saw a line saying ” Customers were angry as they had to que for hours and had be asked to leave as no more stocks available” .. Duhhhh if everything is a penny its ecstatic isnt it???

So on our (kerry and myself) to Aston Uni i saw people queing up in front of M&S and that was 9 am. Damnnn i was tempted to join the que but obviously im meant to be learning!!! (yawnnnn)!! But you can only buy 5 items per entry, hmmm and only 5p???just great.. Is is worth it?

M&S near bull ring, Birmingham

So on my way back i saw at the door it says the bazaar ends tomorrow 22nd May, so if you are NOT WORKING and needs a little retail therapy.. Go for it, it wont do much damage to ure wallet i promise :D

Penny Bazaar

Penat…

I have so much to write about whats going on and what is going to happen, there is too much on my plate!!

I am knackered, god knows. I dont know if i can do this .. I hope i can seriously.

I miss home and i miss my boo..

Unfortunately, the only positive thing for me to look forward to this week is My dads visit this Friday, yeay.

I think i will have to retire now.. *yawn*

Friday’s the best!

FRIDAY.. I love Fridays

Lunch time:

It’s a good day.. I love Fridays. Today particularly, is going to be an exciting one for me *raising both eye brows*. Abang will be arriving today (excited!!) and I will be spending more time with Ili and Nik Yan tonight. Yan, Ili and myself used to be in the same class in standard 1 (1 delima) in Convent Bukit Nanas (1). We were quite an amusing bunch of kids: Ili was the cool gangster one, Yan was the sweet sarcastic one and I was the snobbish perasan one…hahaha.. this is it, looking back at those old times makes us laugh and the best part is, we can still talk about each other with each other as if we have been good friends forever (Ili and Yan are best friends anyways, hopefully for life ;) ). We’ve all grown up to be a wonderful person (I think, ala I kan the perasan one.. let me be!). But seriously, I am very proud of my friends, both of them are successful and doing really well in life, InsyaAllah.

Anyway, I am supposed to be having lunch now. Look what im having… yum yum~~

Jacket potato with tuna and cheese with salad.. Mana tak GOMOK!

p/s: I will update later with pictures :D

Love

Shasa Aziz
