Veron

eventually Veron agreed to have a last quick outing together. last night she told me not to be 'too puntual' hahaha.. Veron, you know that is quite a challenge for me. haha it turned out i waited for her for more than an hour~ due to the feeling of guilt, she sponsored my lunch at Insan Restaurant. Ron~ just admit that you love this place.. haha you have been mentioning this place everytime we were hungry.. hehe

i'm going to miss you Ron~ "so hot can die" attitude of yours haha..

we've been wanting to take pictures of the same set of slippers both of us bought, but you didn't wear it today, so we took picture of our footwears anyways~

sleepover

around 6.15pm, Senada (correction; i miss-spelled her name last time - Senida) picked me up from the city. i said goodbye to Ron when i follow Senada home.

Senada's beautiful family.

little brother, Leise

i told her mom that the room is too big for a guest. she replied "this is your room". i was flattered.

Fluffy, Senada's cat woke me up several times in the morning; 4.15am for subuh prayers, 7am and every 10minutes in the morning.

he sometimes jumped on to me then dashed away. haha cute. he also bit my legs.. naughty Fluffy~

one of the residents asked me at dinner what i did all day. my mind went blank. honestly, i didn't know. did i do much? did i do nothing? seriously, i had no idea. maybe my day went like any other days; went out for a bit, brisk walking, went online. actually yes, that was what i was doing. and just know i watched StarDust movie. it is great. i enjoy it very much

one beautiful thing happened today. late afternoon, my brother Darussani msged me saying that my sister, Dahlia safely gave birth to a beautiful daughter. congrates sis!!! ehem ehem, may i add, my mom told me that she looks like me :) she is SO lucky if that is true. hehehee

owh yea, apparently, one of my niece, Hannan (Darussani's daughter) is celebrating her 1st birthday today. wow.. 2 nieces sharing birthdays. this is awesome. may i recall that i now share birthdays with my nephew. i don't know his name yet because mum gave him a nick name, Israk because he was born on Israk Mikraj. haha.

being scholars of Brunei Government, we have to complete a 'Semester Results' form and submit it to the Brunei High Commission. as i was filling in the form for two semesters, i had to track down the details of exam dates and the date of results released. boy i was glad i blogged about my exams and when results were released. this sure does make my life easier if i have to back in time.. hehe thanks Hjh Siti Nurliayana a.k.a. alai/ally for 'forcing' me to create a blog.

owh yea.. i've watched Fred Claus.. the first Cristmas movie that i really enjoy watching. it was funny, and relaxing.

my sister told me that i should buy my mum a nice blouse. that is quite a challenge because the elderly tops here are so translucent, i wonder why. planned to just pamper my mom back home. then last night, i kept on thinking. i have to buy something for my mum because it is just so wrong not to buy anything for her from Perth. so YES, i msned Veron~ hehehee.. we meet up in the City~ so i bought something for her, fiuh.. suprisingly, Veron was shopping too~ hehe we are two non-stop-shoppers. she bought some more summer T's.

and Ron, aren't we suppose to be broke by now?.. seriously.. THREE.DAYS.IN.A.ROW??? AGAIN!! HAHA.. i know i'm suppose to work, well that is actually the reason why i stay back for a bit longer. but it is really hard to get a shift during summer break. EVERYONE.IS.FREE. hahaha.. oh boy. well, look at the bright side Ron.. at least you are not bored this break, you have me to annoy you. aren't you glad Ron??? you better say YES!!! hahaha..

owh Ron... when you are hungry, please say before i do, because i don't want to feel i am an eating machine everytime i go out with you :p

one

the day has come, went to Fremantle with Veron~ well forgot to take lots of picture here.. i've took alot last time when i went there... i bought lots of stuff for family there. since it was a hhHHoot day.. we gave Boost Juice a visit

a jar of yumness with my name on it~~

so this is how the Boost cup looks like~

then, we headed to the city (we don't elsewhere much Ron~ hahah)

Roc Candy store

this is where i always buy the yummy candies that i always bring home for my nieces and nephews. after had a dinner at Jaws, Japanese Restaurant. we decided to call it a day

in the bus. click to see why i took a shot of this

two

i phoned mom tonight. it has been more than a week since i last phoned her. the first 15minutes or so was good; asking how is everybody doing there.

three

after that 15minutes of talking to mum, i asked about my babies, Baby and Friskies. my mum tried to speculate what was going on but in the end she said that one of my babies was 'maybe' hit by a car. i didn't cry when i was still holding the conversation with her. my dad insisted to replace on of my babies because my babies never been alone and separated before. i told mum to wait till i get back then decide what to do next. after the conversation ended. my heart just "......"

i burst into tears

i msged Agus, my driver and also the person who takes care of my babies. i want to know what exactly happened and which one of my babies being hit by a car. it.was.baby.

tribute to baby.

on the 2nd of April 2005, Arifin msged me that he had a suprise gift for me. when he arrived at my place. there were these two beautiful creatures. 2 adorable cats.

from the moment i layed my eyes on the smaller one, i just knew his name is Baby, and the other one, it was hard to use this name again -Friskies - because i lost a cat before but in the end i named the him Friskies because that name is close to my heart, still.

baby, friskies [2/4/2005]

initially they stayed in a small portable cage just outside my room. so that i can hear them whenever they need my attention.

few months later, they live in the cage outside. my dad decided to build this big cage since all of us grow up adoring cats.

friskies, baby

baby had always accompanied me when i was studying

although sometimes, he 'stopped' me from studying.

in June, you felt sick. you had a cut around your neck by some sharp wire from the outside cage

i cried and prayed for you to get well, you couldn't eat, you were getting thinner, you couldn't swallow the pills the doctor gave you. it was hard for me but i didn't give up on you.

after few months, you recovered. you started to eat alot.

you grew up so fast Baby, and beautiful.

Friskies always be there for you

though at times you boys had rough times

both of you always had each other, unseparable

you grew fatter and fatter

baby, i remember when Friskies was jumping up to the window, you tried to follow him but you couldn't because you were too fat :) you were so cute and lovable.

when i was sleeping, you threw your heavy body against my back to wake me up. you don't like me lifting you up because your tummy is too heavy.. hehe..

when you ran towards me whenever i call your name, your tummy swing sideways. cute. i love you both, how i wish you could live abit longer. thanks for the opportunity to be your mother for almost three years. i know Baby won't read this but at least i have it written and you are always be remembered. say hi to my old Friskies for me.

Friskies, i hope you are doing well there in Brunei, i heard you are getting fatter. wait for me ok.. mum will be home soon..

p/s call me silly talking about my cats as if there are human. i don't care what you peps might think of me regarding this post. i grew up with cats, cats never rejected me as many people out there might've. furthermore, they are not just any cats, Arifin gave them to me.
