♥ The new thing in town..
Currently I am into baking. I bake and the taste is kind of good according to those who have tasted my cakes. One thing that I have yet to master is the decorating part. As I am not talented in arts, it takes time and LOADS of practice.
I have noticed that nowadays, people are so into MACAROONS. I was really curious of the hassle about those colourful eye catching dessert. So yesterday, I got a chance to grab some to taste. As I predicted, I don't fancy the taste. It's a bit too sweet to my liking. But people have their own preferences. Maybe one day I'd like to make my own macaroons because the colours are sooo tempting!
Well, we'll just wait and see.

♥ 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.

♥ Butterflies in my stomach..
It has been a hectic week, no, month for me. A lot has to be done and I am burried in tonnes of work. To organize a trip for my own self has been put aside.
Anyway, you know this feeling when you have someone you admire, and is trying to persuade you on business matters, and you feel that you are kind of obligated to accept the project? Well that kind of happened to me. I mean if it was not for the 'face-to-face' encounter today, I wouldn't have butterflies in my tummy. Since knowing that this person, whom I admire due to his capability in making my legs go weak every time he smiles (though I'd say frankly here that he is NOT HANDSOME), but just because of his charisma, I went hay-wire! Can you believe that? Furthermore, he is the GM of a company and who am I in my organization? Just an ordinary staff!
So there I was today, explaining why his company's proposal was rejected eventhough it did not even go into the management meeting. I sweated profusely eventhough my office is fully air-conditioned and the room had a separate air-condition unit trying to explain the reason why the proposal was rejected by me. He understood and presented his idea well enough to convince me that his new proposal might get the consideration from the top management. And he was willing to rewrite the proposal and discuss it with me for ammendments if there were any.
Knowing that he was coming to see me, an ordinary person in my organization, I read my horoscope for the day. I know that we cannot believe in anything that the horoscope says, but it was kind of like a coincident. Here was what my horoscope said about me today:
Scorpio
A very persuasive person will arrive on the scene, and what they say makes sense.
I guess it is true indeed.

♥ I left my heart in Indonesia... (Cintaku Tertinggal di Indonesia..)
Have you listened to the song by Dewa - Cintaku Tertinggal di Malaysia? Mine is the other way around. I left my heart in Indonesia. No, this is not the first time I've been there. But this is the 3rd time.
A spectacular view from Restoran Sederhana, Padang
I was there for approximately 2 weeks on an official visit. And I found that I left my heart there once I boarded the plane heading back to Malaysia *sigh*.

♥ A Special Dedication for A Special Person...
11th of August 2007. A special day to be remembered.
I fell in 'a trance' on the first day I saw you. And I couldn't believe it that you were enrolling in the PhD program since you looked so young and boyish. But it's true. And that boyish face and smile made my heart melt each and every time I saw you.
My colleagues were very sporting knowing that I fancied you and they would always find ways to make me entertain your matters. But it was very seldom. Either I was very busy or had no time.
So today IS the day.
Congratulations on being awarded the Doctor of Philosophy degree today. You have worked hard and deserve the degree at a young age. And the best part is that the convocation ceremony this year (especially for PhD graduates) falls on your birthday. Two big events in one day! How lucky!
Congratulations again and happy birthday Dr. Teruaki Yoshida!! Hope to see you again one day.

♥ My mind is in tangles
Inside my mind - full of tangles...
It's been a hectic week and month for me. I have something coming up which is important and takes up a lot of my time. I mean a lot has to be sorted out and with the work pressure and all, I am quite thankful that I can still breathe!
Anyway, I still managed to watch the finale of What Women Want and felt happy as Hafiz won the contest. He really deserves the title.

♥ Dr. Quinn, The Medicine Woman; Chicago Hope; ER;Grey's Anatomy; House
The man of my dreams.. yeah.. get real!!Recently, I have been extremely hooked on tv shows and drama about the medical world. In my years in school, I would love watching The Medicine Woman starring Jane Seymour. Just watching that series is like having my dinner.
Although I am not fond of seeing blood gushing everywhere on the hands and human organs, I wouldn't mind watching them in a drama. But if it was a documentary, I would just change the channel since I'd feel as if the operation was done on me. That was one of the reasons I did not take Biology as a subject in SPM but took accounts instead.
After the Medicine Woman, came Chicago Hope. It was kind of a more modern medicine world and a bit of drama here and there. Followed by E.R. with the gorgeous George Clooney in the first season (am drooling here). Speaking of George Clooney, there is another handsome hunk in the show - Noah Wyle. I'd really daydream of meeting a boyfriend with the looks of Noah Wyle (well at that time, I would be attracted to foreign men and it was no problem for me) and get attracted to pan-asian looking guys.
This series also reminded me of a friend who told me that her father thought that this was a ghost and a thriller because the of the title -ER (which he pronounced as err and not e.r.). Pe' , if you're reading this, I want you to know that I miss those days. Same goes to Cha, Cik Tun, I'm and Za.
What is it that attracts me?Today, there are 2 competing series about medicine world - Grey's Anatomy and House. Both series are different in the attraction. I mean Grey's Anatomy is more of the medical college love drama between the residents and the interns. House on the other hand is a series about a kind of a weirdo doctor but has a brilliant mind and solves cases just by sitting in his office and letting his staff do all the check up and he'll figure out what the patients have and cure them by his staff's report. Dr. Gregory House is a heartless doctor on the outside and is a total weirdo. But nevertheless, I am so in love with his character. And very attracted too.
Anyway, in the recently in the Golden Globe Awards on Tuesday, 16th of January, the lovable Dr. House or his real name Hugh Laurie was named as the best actor in a drama. Grey's Anatomy was also awarded the best drama or mini series in the Golden Globe Award.
The season 2 finale of House was aired yesterday on AXN. House was shot twice by his patient and he was hallucinating. I was kind of shocked and said to myself, are they discontinuing the series? I woke up this morning and was thrilled to get to the office so I could check the website. And pheww.. what a relief, there is a 3rd season.
Congratulations to the directors and producers of Grey's Anatomy and House. And to you too, Hugh Laurie.
