Of Delayed London Post, Classes, Presentations, Students' Reports and Dissertation..

I wish I'm a superwoman.

The one that is so super she doesn't need to eat, drink, sleep and rest.

I have dissertation I need to finish by September,
classes of Academic Discourse, Statistics and ESP I need to attend to three days a week,
students' presentations and reports that I have to grade,
and my forever unfinished delayed London post to write about.
Not forgetting my room is a complete mess with my new-and-fabulous-not-yet-updated-collection for The e-Beautique.

The only thing I managed to do well last week was checking all my shoes for possible mold or insects or torns.
Thankfully, everything is still wearable and nicely kept in boxes.

*still have rooms for more shoes!*

Yes, I wish I have more time.
Time to do just about everything.

Delayed Post: London Day 1 (020610)

I have so many things to write about but I just couldn't find the right time.

Writing surely needs you to be in the "mood" or you'll end writing about crappy things.
My M.Ed classes are starting next week so I thought, "let's get this done and over with".
I know I want to write about my trip because whenever I'm feeling down or exhausted from work, I can read the posts again and again to remind myself of the super great time I had there.
Super great time.

So, let us begin.

*boarding pass*
*daddy in tourist-mode. haha*
*dinner at mcd klia. i thought this picture is adorable*

We took a flight from KLIA around 9.20pm with Etihad Airways.
It was a 2-4-2 seating arrangement and every seat is provided with a cute pillow, blanket, headphone and "TV" set. The monitor was a touch screen but passengers' were also provided with remote control.
Ours were just economy class so in terms of comfort, I'd give 5/10.
Poor my daddy and mommy, they couldn't really sleep well.
Luckily I managed to sleep most of the time throughout the flight and only got up for meals.
Seriously, holidays may ease my mind and heart of any problem but it's definitely not helping me losing weight.

*mommy and daddy eating dinner*
*aish playing 'timon and pumbaa' game*
*me watching "Shutter Island". again*

We arrived in Abu Dhabi at 12am (their time or 4am M'sian time), approximately six hours after we departed.
Our flight to London would be at 2am so basically we killed the time by going to washroom (airplane's toilet is never comfortable) and took snacks.
It wasn't a really big airport but it was very crowded and neat.
And I was too tired to take any picture.

*mr. cloud*
*that's london darling!*

To cut things short, we arrived at Heathrow at around 7am (London time) and despite feeling exhausted and dehydrated, we just couldn't hide our excitement.
I remember myself praising Allah for so many times upon landing, thanking Him for giving our family this great opportunity.
And being a crybaby, I almost cried.
Kalau pergi Tanah Suci ni tentu menangis kaw kaw.
The weather was nice. Breezy. It's already summer so it's not really cold but the air was cool enough that we could walk for about 2km to our apartment without sweating.
That's what I love so much, you'll never sweat.
I tell you, I don't mind taking tubes everyday if I were to live in London.
If it's in Malaysia, forget it. You'll be sweating like a pig after waiting for the train in just 15mins.

So for the first day, we walked around Egdware Road, took lunch at Chicken Cottage, bought Oyster Card and headed to Oxford Street!
I swear I don't mind sleeping on Oxford St.!
hahaha
It was beautiful. Crowded. But beautiful.
I fell in love with London in London.
duhh!
I must admit, what really caught my eyes would be the structure of the buildings.
I'm not sure if it's the authentic buildings but they've turned them into shopping heaven!
I went to the famous Primark and I was stunned looking at the price tag.
It's safe to say that I had officially spent my first 50Pounds in Primark. On the first I arrived in London. And I still have a week in London.
Darn you Primark!
hahaha

*magnificent!*

So after Primark we went home, it was only 5pm but we were so jetlagged, everyone had already slept.
And so I had missed my first sunset in London, which should be at around 9pm.
Well, more great things to come.
=)

Ian Somerhalder

He's been described to be "hotter than lava" by Perez Hilton.
Enough said.

*i must be terribly nervous to start my M.Ed final sem because all i do during my spare time is looking at things that calm me down, e.g., as pic above & below. darn*

Yay! New Eye Candy!

I never thought I would watch 'She's Out of My League'.

It's just not the types of movie I usually watch.
But I am waaayyy so glad that I watched it!

Mike Vogel.
He's not even the main actor.
But he's the cutest!
All of us -me, K.Mirs, Zurs & Lisa were drooling over him the entire movie.

He's definitely the types I would have crush on.
He has that one thing.
*refer here*
The fact that's he's married with two children doesn't bother me at all.
hahahaha
lalalalalala

I still can't get over Adam Lambert, by the way.

Urbanscapes 2010!

The e-Beautique will be joining Urbanscapes tomorrow!
It's gonna be a blast!
There's Tilu, Yuna, SevenCollar T-Shirt, Liyana Fizi and many more indie artists!
And KLPac is a great place to relax, it's a beauty!
I so cannot wait!
^_^

BTW, I've been missing out so much. There's a lot I wanna write about. Maybe after Urbanscapes 2010.
I highly hope so.

I Miss You...

...my dear blog!

I have so many things I wanna share with you!
London was great! I could live in London, seriously.
Paris, on the other hand, did not impress me much.
Will elaborate more on that later.

*me and the famous red telephone booth!*

My whole family is down with flu at the moment.
Jetlagged.
London is eight hours later than Malaysia, so basically for this whole week since we got back, we all go to sleep at 4am.
We just can't sleep at night.
And THANK GOD my students are on their BTN this whole week, I can rest a bit.
Poor daddy and my brothers who have to work during the day.
I tell you, they all come back home during lunch hour not for lunch, but for a short nap.

My daddy said it's only the first time abroad and everyone is already sick, so no more overseas vacation for us.
I disagree.
I told daddy this means we have to go abroad more often to make sure our bodies can work well with the different weather or temperature or season of the other countries.
And daddy gave me an evil laugh.
I still can't figure out what daddy's evil laugh is about.

And oh, London is a shopping heaven!
Everything is, if not a lot more, much cheaper than Malaysian retails, especially for British names.
Well, you definitely have to look around first.
Some places offer cheaper price tags, just like shops here.

Darn, I hate it when I have flu.
My nose is blocked and therefore, I have to breathe through my mouth.
And that makes my lips go all dry and chappy.

Flu, flu go away.
Come again another day.

Oh wait, on second thought,
just don't come ever again.

Saying Goodbye to the Big L

Damn I don't wanna go home.

Summer Holidays!

Right.

As if I can never get enough of 'summer' in Malaysia.
But anyway, I'm super excited!
It's my first time there, so I'm gonna be so 'jakun' like nobody cares.
I'm so blessed and lucky to be having this opportunity.
Alhamdulillah, praise to Allah.

I haven't finished packing yet.
And yes, I'm bringing my heels, too!
Fly with style!
hahahaha

Hopefully there's Internet connection at the apartment so I can update this blog.
I miss long babbling about nothing.

So sayonara, will write again soon!
*wink*
