♥ Alhamdulillah..
Alhamdulillah, praise be to Allah for all the countless blessings bestowed upon me. I have finished what I started earlier and am TREMENDOUSLY happy with the results.
Last week, I flew way up to the UK again to officially receive the certificate marking my work for the past year (even though at first I was a bit reluctant and there was something behind it. I'll blog about it in a different entry) . I always prayed that I could have the chance to meet with 'Mr. Snow' again since I did not have much time with him the last time. And guess what, my prayers were answered. The first day landing in Amsterdam, there it was. In front on my eyes, the airport was blanketed in white. Pure white. Even though I was just there on transit, the scenery was breathtaking. Imagine me from Malaysia with the cotton thin clothing, arriving in Amsterdam at -8 degrees. Brrr.. went to the ladies to put on my thermal clothing + jumper + coat. The thing is that the flight to Humberside does not use the aerotunnel (whatever it is called - the thingy to board the aircraft from the departure gate) since the plane is a small focker and will need the passengers to use the bus provided to reach the aircraft. It was a bit cold indeed but I found the weather somewhat familiar.. hahaha..
Arrived in Hull and left my bags at a friend's house and went straight to town. First thing's first = SHOPPING. Hahaha.. nah.. just wanted to kill time and exhaust myself to make sure that I get enough sleep that night to ensure a fresh me the next day. And I did sleep like a log that night!
Woke up feeling fresh and excited. Got ready and walked to the university. Felt like I was still studying there. Only the dressing is a bit different today since usually I'd be wearing jeans. Was expecting to take tonnes of photos, but no one is familiar with my camera. :-( . In the end, only a few shots were captured. None of them in the hall. And after the ceremony, I had to attend another simple ceremony but my friends went to grab lunch with my camera. Huhu.. met other people, but again, no photos captured to cherish the memories. Only today, I remembered that I should have snapped pics using my phone. Too late!
The second day there, it started snowing again. Wuhuuu!! And after my friend's session, we went straight to London. And guess what? It was snowing!! Again!! The following morning, boarded a plane to Nice. The first day, brought my friend to Monaco. That night, my youngest brother joined us for dinner. The second day in Nice, we actually wanted to go skiing. But I wasn't feeling that well. We changed plans and went to Cannes and Grasse instead. And guess what, it was snowing AGAIN!!
After the trip to France, we stayed in London for 2 nights. And when it came to going back to Hull, it snowed!! In Hull, not London. The last night, before heading back to Malaysia for good, we put a night in Amsterdam. Got to visit the Red Light District! Strange enough, halal food was everywhere on that part of Amsterdam! Actually we kind of accidentally found it in search of halal food. Don't worry, I am still innocent. Still consider myself underage for that sort of thing. Hahaha..
Anyway, all in all, it was a splendid journey. Wish I could make it a yearly event or just permanently reside in the UK. Haha.. how I wish i could do that.

♥ You know you are a workaholic when...
1. You are bored to DEATH when you have no work to do.
2. You dream about your boss almost every single day.
3. You have no time to eat, drink or even go to the loo during office hours.
4. You never realize the time. You only realize it when the office is quiet and the
last person going back tells you that the person is leaving.
5. Your annual leave is always being carried forward for next year or you apply for
leave just to do your work without any interruption.
6. You find yourself happy during workdays and lonely during weekends.
Most of the symptoms mentioned above is what I feel like. So, there, I admit that I AM A WORKAHOLIC!

♥ It has been 3 weeks...
Wooaa.. it's already the 3rd week of 2010. How time flies. It has also been the third month for me after coming back here. And next week, I'll report duty in my new department. Eager? I guess.. Looking forward to it?? Maybe.. At least I hope that I don't have to wait for work. Anyway, will be flying back to UK Tuesday next week for my graduation ceremony. Meaning that I will only be in my new office for 2 days before my 2 week break to the UK. Haha
Anyway, I have no excited feeling to fly back. But I know that I wanted to attend the ceremony and maybe travel a bit. But That feeling has vanished. Don't know what to expect and don't know what to feel. Hahaha.. Happy? Excited? Thrilled to meet my friends? Or looking forward to meet 'Winter' again? I don't really know. It feels different in a way. It doesn't feel like the time I first went there.
Anyway, hoping for the best and hope I'll enjoy the trip (better do so because the trip itself costs a FORTUNE!)

♥ Goodbye 2009, Welcome 2010....
2009 has reached the end. This evening, as the sun sets, will be the end of the sunshine for 2009. As the clock strikes midnight, a new year has begun. Time flies sooo fast. I can't believe that it'll be 2010 in just a couple of hours. I feel as though 2009 has just arrived. And yet, it has reached it's end.
This year started with fun and excitement after being able to continue my studies abroad which has been my dream since I was little. Having the dream of my life come true (even though not at the time that I wanted to - meaning the dream to continue studies abroad) was kind of an achievement for me. And at the time too, I kind of took the opportunity to gather my thoughts and mend my broken heart which I shoved waaayy back of my brain (hahaha.. like it's true).
I became more independent, stronger and found the little kid in me again after having it being locked for sooo long. This year also I traveled to countries I have only dreamed of going to, where some of them I never thought that I could go to! This year also gave me the chance to meet wonderful people along the way and supported be and cheered me up through my ups and downs. And this year also, I managed to prove myself to my own self.
There were times that I wished that what happened, should have been the other way around. I nearly gave up. There were the down days and I kept it all to myself, waiting it to burst and pull me down to the lowest level. But I am grateful to have wonderful friends around me and my family to support me and cheer me up when I feel down.
Alhamdulillah, 2009 has been a wonderful journey all together. The down times have been hard, where I did hit rock bottom, but managed to held my head high and climb back from the bottom with of course the wonderful people around me and with the blessing from the Almighty.
This day, the last day of 2009 is my mum's 56th birthday. Happy birthday Mama.. Love you sooo much and I hope that I have made you proud.
Just a couple of hours till a new year starts. I wish that next year will be better than this year. Goodbye 2009 and Hello 2010.

♥ I hate this part right here...
I have nothing much to say nor elaborate. Just that I have this feeling that I hate. Really extremely hate. Something done that cannot be undone but can be learned from in the future. Think before doing it AGAIN in the future, because I hate this part right here.
