Another fun day with friends~

First of all, I hope that all of my family and friends had a wonderful Eid celebration. I had a splendid one! In the morning, with some of my friends and juniors, we convoyed to Uni of Queensland for the prayer. Then, Hanis, Erma and I went to Brisbane International Airport to fetch Hanis's brother who was just arrived from Auckland. Had breakfast at home and then started our journey to Harbor Town, Gold Coast. The weather was quite hot and we had some problem with the car. But, luckily we managed to arrived Harbor Town safely. It's shopping time! Spent about 4 hours and then went to Surfers Paradise. Spent most of the time by playing by the beach. Then, shopping time again where some of us bought souvenirs and shirts from Hard Rock Cafe. Quite a tiring day, yet it was fun and memorable. Thank you friends!

Salam Aidiladha~

It's 12.00am in the morning and I'm still awake. I know, I should have been sleeping right now but I think I should write what has happened tonight. Sempena menyambut Aidiladha, saya dan sahabat-sahabat yang masih berada di Herston berkumpul dan bersama-sama mengerjakan solat Isyak secara berjemaah dan bertakbir. Rasa tersentuh hati bila mengalunkan takbir tadi. Terfikir bila lagi saya akan berkesempatan untuk bersama-sama menyambut hari raya dengan sahabat-sahabat yang saya anggap sebagai sebahagian dari keluarga sendiri. Terkenang juga saat indah wukuf bersama arwah abah, mama, mak ana dan kakak-kakak di arafah sewaktu menunaikan haji dulu. Terima kasih Ya Allah kerana memberi dan mengurniakan saya peluang itu dan sahabat-sahabat yang begitu baik. Then I went to Mount Coo-tha Point Lookout with some of my friends (Hanis, Fariha, Bella, Jemi, Faidz, Zam and Izzat) to see the view of Brisbane city at night. The view was really beautiful. Even though it was quite cold there, we really enjoyed the scenery, chatting and laughing with each other. Thank you my friends tonight, for the very wonderful memory. Since this is the first and the last time of me celebrating Aidiladha in Brisbane, I am surely will treasure the moments that we have spent together. Selamat Menyambut Hari Raya Aidiladha buat keluarga serta semua sahabat :) Mendoakan juga buat umat Islam yang berada di bumi anbiya, supaya mereka diberi kekuatan yang luar biasa untuk mengerjakan haji. Insyaallah~

lovely day, lovely people~

Last Thursday (11-11-10), I went to Uni. It was a memorable day. It was a day when I had a one-to-one conversation with our Mum. I felt quite sad when thinking of that it might be the last time for me to have a chat with her individually (even though I know that I am always welcome to meet her at anytime). Since I am extremely worried about my results, talking with her made me feel better. Her inspiring words, her soft voice, the confidence that she has when she said that everything will be okay at least able to soothe the feeling of anxious in me. It's so good to know her and to be able to work with her and Jan as well. Working with both of them is a pleasure. Jo Carr, to me she in not only as the coordinator, but is a mother. She always concern and give advice regarding our academic performance and daily life here. It's so wonderful to know that you'll always be with us even though you are going to retire soon. While Jan Harvey, she takes care of us too. She have contributed and put a lot of efforts in helping us to complete assignments and always be there for us especially during the tough time we had here. Ah, both of them are so kind to me and all of us. They always motivate us in these two years time. Yes, they mean a lot to us. Thanks very much Jo and Jan, for all your love, support and guidance while we are here. Thank you for everything.

What my heart feels~

It feels like a short while staying here in Brisbane. The first time I arrived here, I thought, “it’s going to be a long time”. But then, now that it already comes to an end, it was like only a few days of me staying here. It’s just like yesterday when waved my hand and said goodbye to everybody in Malaysia. Well, this is life. This is reality. I’m going back for good to Malaysia soon. After almost two years staying here, I’ve gone through, experienced and learned many new things. And it was all enjoyable yet memorable ones. I am sad to leave this land. I have a big wonderful happy family here. All the lecturers and friends here are just like my own family. We are very close to each other. Yes, I love them very much. I’m sure, I’m gonna miss everything that I did here with them. But yes, I have to admit, it’s time for me to go home. I will miss you Brissy.
