Hahah this was planned way before exams started! Heheh and guess who initiated it..?! dear nisa of course! The girl who knows how to enjoy food.. most of us would be content with eating what we have or felt like having that particular day…
But this girl, plans what to cook the day before.. and she’ll contemplate again on the morning itself.. I was so stressed out by her!

Anyways.. we invited a couple of frds over.. just to have like a mini dinner kinda thing to celebrate exams being over!
So there were about 7 of us.. all from Latrobe uni and staying on campus.. hehehe!

THE DAY BEFORE:
We got up at about 11am to shower and get dressed. Trust me.. after exams, waking up at 11am is no easy feat due to the constant late hours that we held onto. So we went to the market and the supermarket to get the stuff..
Thanks to karina, we didn’t have to lug everything home taking the bus and tram. =)
So after the marketing trip, we got home. Me and nisa bummed around on the couch to watch a hindi movie and we both fell aslp! Hahah I fell aslp first and we both happened to wake up at around 7pm. I think..
After that we were marinating the lambs, so that by tmr the marinating sauce would have penetrated the lamb well and it’ll taste GOOD!
So for some reason, nisa asked me to blend all the stuff needed for marinating the lamb. And I must say, it turned out well and I’m proud of myself.. hehehehe
So yeah.. even while marinating the lamb, we had fun. With nonsensical jokes and all.. as seen by the pictures below!






ON THE DAY:
So on the day itself.. we roasted the lamb and all and karina make her chocolate cake which was good! And I’ve got the recipe.. maybe could try it out soon.. =P
And again, me and nisa were being experimental with the gravy for the lamb.. we added this and that.. this and that being oyster sauce, pepper and chicken stock.. so we added them till the taste of the gravy was tasty within reason..
Then karina also made her salad which was tasty as well!
So when everybody came, it was time to dig in! and it was good! Heheh
It was a good day.. =)







so.. till the next exciting event!

xoxo

So with exams being over, of course it was time to let our hair down.. despite being very concerned about whether we will pass the exams or not.. each of us have respective papers that we could do very badly..

So on the day that I finished my paper.. we went out for dinner at nando’s and because we couldn’t decide on a movie to watch, nadia didn’t really fancy Narnia and nisa couldn’t nisa which movie she wanted to watch and I was okie with whatever decision, cos I was just so glad papers are over and that now I can catch up on slp!
You would be shocked at how much chicken we could eat! We had 4 chicken wings ordered, 4 slices of chicken tenderloins or smth like that and one whole chicken.. not forgetting a bowl of chips (fries)… I still couldn’t believe that 3 of us ate that much! Maybe cos most of us didn’t eat the whole day…






So then we went for pancakes.. they are so heavenly! Ameerah and family.. u should have gone to this place man! Mak dek would agree.. they are very nice! Melt in your mouth kinda nice.. anyways come again and then we can bring you to the pancake parlour! Hehehe..

So we thought we were just gonna have one serving of the pancakes since we had dinner just before going to the pancake parlour.. but guess what?! We had two servings.. prolly cause we were sitting for atleast 2 hours and couldn’t resist having another serving of pancakes.. hehe =P so the first one was buttermilk pancake with ice cream, strawberries and home-made hot fudge.. YUM!

And after that we just talked for a bit and then decided that we should have another one cos we were doing nothing and just thought we should try another pancake instead.. =p and we ordered raspberry and rhubarb.. which wasn’t as nice as the strawberry one that we tried..


So we just pretty much hung out and talked.. talked about life and made jokes out of our silliness and of course.. PICTURES! Hahahha below were some of the pictures that we took when we were bored..










So today the plan for the day is:
Having a few people over for dinner. Faiza my long lost cousin is coming.. hahah.. We’re roasting leg of lamb! And karina’s baking a chocolate pudding! And I did the marinating of the lamb! HAHAHAHHA
So anyways I gotta get back to nisa’s to help with any preparation that is left to be done.. I’ll update another time.. =)

Oh and I’m going TOBOGANNING at the end of my july break! Smth that has to do with snow.. *winks* google it if u wanna know what it is.. hehehhe
You guys should come over when it’s winter!

Miss you guys at home. The birthdays that I’ve missed.. the crazy things that u guys have prolly done or said.. I wish I can fly back like what my frds are doing..
But I guess I’ll just see you guys in December then.. MUACKS!

Things have a way of coming back to you..
Sometimes for the good but sometimes for the bad..and u will never know, till you go through with it again..
Some things cant be taken at face value cos they seem too good to be true..
And when they don’t come to you, they disappear and are nowhere in sight.
And sometimes, u just cant figure out which one to let go and which one to embrace and hang on to.
Just a little thought.

On another note!
Exams are here again and it’s always a pain to have to study and go through with them..in anycase, I hope that all will turn out well.. insya’allah..
So far I’ve done 2 papers.. 3 more to go!!
Pray for me, u guys! Heheh thank you! =)

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others" - Marianne Williamson


How nice would it be to affect change of that sort to the world. Cos I think the world is in need of certain values to make the environment more humane and peaceful.

*All I know is, I will be ok.

Hey people.

As of this moment, on Monday 2nd june at 5.46pm, I’m very restless and cant seem to continue studying.
so I decided to type a blog entry onto Microsoft word. Hahah
that’s what I’ve been doing so far.. typing entries onto Microsoft and then just cutting and paste onto blogger.. Hhehehhe

Anyways, to those who tagged before the revamp, sorry I couldn’t see the tags and now that I can see them, I shall reply to them.

Atiqah: yes atiqah, they’re saying you did a good job!

Hudy: no worries, just chat with me whenever u feel like it. Don’t care if I’m busy or away, just type everything, if I’m not there then I’ll not reply. But if I am then I would..

Ameerah: yes ameerah, save up money and then come here and shop! The winter sales are coming up soon! Hehehe

Elithia: where are you back from? From being MIA? Hehehe =P anyways, yeah my exams are starting.. craapy time of the year.

Mak dek: rub-ons were bought from plaza sing. Name of shop is made with love and it’s near swensen’s, the same level.. the whole shop is full of stuff used for scrap-booking.. and I think alphabets only come in the form of stickers and not rub-ons..

Cik nani: thank you! Hope everyone is well, me and cicik miss irfan too! And yes I’m trying to study! Hahahha

Zee: well driving you around Melbourne will be about in another yr’s time.. hahah provided that I have a car by then =P

Anyways was over at cicik’s during the weekend..and on the way back home..
nisa wanted to have coffee and some cheesecake in the city.
Just to chill before we actually start intense studying.. so I said okie, since I had nowhere to go.. So me and nisa met each other at starbucks at ard 3pm..
and then after awhile, nadia returned my missed call and then we asked her if she wanted to join us..
she said she would go on home cos she has quite abit of studying to do..
but abt 10mins later, she called and said that what the heck, I had a bad weekend so I’m gonna join you guys.. ehehe
so all of us chilled at starbucks till abt 7.30pm and we were on the way home cos we wanted to catch grey’s anatomy. Hahhaha
Ended up watching grey’s anatomy on nisa’s laptop..
watched all of the remaining episodes.. haha..





Anyways gtg practice my skills with my frd now..will update soon
