Bonjour Paris!

Tengok blog Catz yg asyik jalan-jalan, tetiba rasa jeles plak. Kenapa lah aku malas sgt nak memblog pasal trip aku lebih 8 minggu yg lalu. Dah basi pun dah.

Kononnya tangguh sbb ingat nak share detail experience on it. It was fun indeed. 4 countries, 4 languages, 2 currencies in 2 weeks. I'm just plain lazy actually. Yes, a lazy blogger, I am. Prefer to membebel & merepek jer dlm blog ni. Even the pics were edited during the trip. Masa tu semangat sikit. Tapi still malas nak memblog wlupun ada Internet connection. Now, too lazy to select & edit more pics.

Lupakan niat nak menulis panjang lebar about the trip, let the pics do the talking then. The first pit stop - PARIS!


We were lucky because we were the first group yg naik Eiffel Tower that day. Pukul 9:30am bukak, pukul 9:00 kitorang dah beratur. Beratur tak berapa panjang. So tak penat & buang masa.

Eiffel Tower from different angles.

I like Disneyland very much! Tengok Minnie menyanyi & menari... so cute! Watched the parade... it was great. The place is colorful & happening. Time Christmas plak tu. Bought the tixs online sehari sebelum pegi Paris. Masa tu ada promosi 2 parks per day. Kat UK website, harga tiket untuk promosi 2 parks per day ni GBP36, klu kat Europe website Euro60. Memandangkan pound dah lebih kurang sama dgn euro, aku beli tiket kat UK website. Bila convert, save banyak gak tu.



I love this pic very much! Thanx a lot D for giving the idea & snapping it for me. Love you. Muahhhh.

We spent 4 nights in Paris.

Next pit stop - Milan, Italy.

Is't Snowing or Raining??

... Antara soalan bodoh yg aku tanya sejak berada di sini.

Sometimes it just hard to distinguish between raining & snowfall here. I would say in the middle... a very thin snow that would melt right away when it reaches the ground.

I'm not sure is't UK or Liverpool, but snowfall is rare here.

Tapi pada Feb 2 yg lalu, telah menyaksikan salji turun sepanjang hari di Liverpool. At last, it was snowy the whole day. At last gak I made this post.

Menurut berita, ini salji yg paling lebat sejak 18 tahun. Just imagine that. Kat London, banyak sekolah & pejabat tutup. Di Liverpool walaupun salji turun sepanjang hari, tapi tak selebat di London, so aktiviti berjalan seperti biasa. I went out for lunch & go to the lab.

Macam pesta plak. Bukan foreigner jer kemaruk, local pun sama. Took photos & had a snow ball fight. Yg lebih bersemangat, gigih buat snowman.

I think the temperature starts to increase. So, I guess no more snowfall. I'm looking forward for the spring! Bosan ah tengok pokok botak.

14 Perkara

Rasanya mcm dah lama giler Saira tag aku with this tag...

Arahannya:

* List these rules on your blog.
* Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog.
* Tell 7 unspectacular quirks on yours.
* Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
* Link the person who tagged you.
* Leave a comment for each blogger.


So, now I'll list 14 random things about me... & this MSc program. Kira boleh lah kan, walaupun tak berapa mengikut arahan. Kalau exam ni, maybe fail.


1. Aku sgt sibuk. Cliche kan. 3 assignment, 1 presentation & 1 homework dalam tangan sekarang.

2. I have to stay at the lab to finish 2 of the assignments. So, it's like i juggle with them. Both have to be submitted next week. Usually, before starting doing the assignments in the lab, I would take a deep breath, it's like I'm going to dive. Memang rasa macam menyelam pun, kadang2 rasa macam tak cukup udara. Panic attack ke?

3. Wow, Integrated Circuit is very tough. Guess what, for the assignment not only we have to design the schematic & consider the fan out whatsoever, we have to design the layout as well. Dah lah guna software yg aku tak pernah guna. I even thought that Ca^dence would generate the layout automatically & I was kinda shocked to find out that I have to draw it myself.

4. Damn, the above subject really gives me nerve. But I think I'm on the right track now. Orang kata, malu bertanya sesat jalan. Yeap, that's my strategy. Tanya pelajar2 lain. Kadang2 tanya soalan yg sama kepada pelajar yg berlainan, just to compare. Takde malu2 dah, wlupun actually aku tak tau pun nama pelajar yg aku tanya tu. Boleh tanya demonstrator, tp it doesn't help much sebab accent dia sukar difahami. Dah lah tu, cakap meleret ala2 berbisik. Setakat tanya pasal software jer lah. Bila dia terangkn lebih2, aku lost.

5. Masih berkenaan subjek di atas. Aku jeles dgn budak Telecommunication! Semua subjek sama, kecuali diorang wajib amik telecommunication & kitorg wajib amik the killer subject mentioned above. Telecommunication takde assignment. So depa rilek lah... more time to study other subjects. Tak macam kitorg yg terperuk kat lab dr pg sampai ptg. Isk jeles hokay.

6. Aku rasa ni lah salah satu keputusan yg salah yg aku dah buat dalam hidup aku. Aku dapat dua2 tawaran, MSc Microelectronics dan juga MSc Microelectronics & Telecommunication. Memang confuse gak lah masa nak buat keputusan tu. Nak accept yg mana satu. Tapi aku salahkan University sebab buku program yg diorang hantar tu tak tepat. Aku kind of tertipu lah.

7. Ok lah, aku admit aku memang bodoh subjek ni sejak undergraduate lagi. So with a very weak basic, suddenly kene gi tahap design plak, memang aku gabra babe. Apa lagi bila tau kene lukis sendiri layout. WTH??? Bukan nak hantar fabricate pun.

8. Aku dah dapat result semester 1! Aku tak excited pun nak tau. Tapi setelah dipujuk oleh member aku & I thought yes, I have to get over it, lagipun aku nak my assessment on project specification, so aku pun gi lah jupe supervisor aku Isnin lepas. Alhamdulillah. 2 subjek memang aku dah tau, just nak tau 2 subjek je lagi.

9. Regarding to this post, I was surprised that I got a good mark on this subject. 1 subjek lagi, aku gagal dapat A. Isk... 2 markah jer lagi. Memang aku tak target A pun. So tak lah sedih, cuma rasa frust sikit sebab member2 aku semua dapat A, at least 3 org lah. Tp depa pun lebih around 5 markah jer drp aku. Cuma bezanya, I'm at different side of the boundary. But I think I deserve it & couldn't ask for more, so still I'm in the mood to celebrate the results. Yay!

10. Walaupun semester lepas 7 subjek, hanya 4 subjek yg dah complete, so tau result utk 4 subjek jer lah. 3 subjek lagi bersambung semester ni with 3 new subjects. Subjek yg aku paling kurang bijak tu antara yg bersambung semester ni. See, how much I suffer. Dari semester lepas lagi tau. & it's getting tougher & tougher.

11. Actually the result belum finalized. Jumaat ni baru publish. Tapi aku tak harap any changes pun.

12. I'm kinda stress rite now due to the first fact. So, I'm not in the mood to talk to anyone unless regarding the assignments. Sometimes this stress get the best of me. I reach the boiling point easily. I should slap myself take a break. But there's no such thing in this program. Fight, you can do it. That's it. Actually menulis ni pun salah satu cara aku cuba utk reduce the stress.

13. There's a time I think I'm too old for this kind of program. The hectic schedule, lotsa assignments etc. Klu camni lah cara aku bekerja, I deserve award RO of the year ok.

14. Dulu masa undergraduate, bila kene stay up & tak cukup tido especially masa time nak kene submit final year project report, aku suka dengar lagu So Young by The Corrs. Tapi masa tu memang muda kan. Sekarang pun aku still layan lagu ni bila rasa tak cukup tido & tak cukup makan. 30 is still so young rite... so it doesn't really matter that we don't sleep ;-).

Really, we're so young & somehow we can do it...



We are chasing the moon
Just running wild and free
We are following through every dream and every need

And it really doesn't matter if we don't eat
And it really doesn't matter if we not sleep
No, it really doesn't matter, really doesn't matter at all

'Cause we are so young now
We are so young, so young now
And when tomorrow comes we can do it all again...


Anyway, it's time to sleep!

Here in my heart...

... is my home.

Enjoy this YouTube...



Great clip on bringing Malaysians towards unity despite the different of race & political preference. Some of the video responses are amusing.

No matter where I roam this is home sweet home.

Owh... I'm feeling sick. Homesick! Hahaa.

Yeah, rite now, I have only 1 assignment. So enough time for myself to feel unexpectedly-emotionally disturbed & so be it.
