talk abot marriage

   In my entire life, I have never imagined that one day, one of my friends or someone in my circle of friends would be getting married and has kids. I mean, I feel so young that I never thought that one fine day, I will actually received wedding invitations from fellow friends. I thought that time will not come at least in the near future. But yeah, it's actually time I should get use to it.

   Anyway, not that most of my friends are married now. As far as I could remember, there are only two or three friends of mine are already married right now and one of them is currently pregnant. Can you believe that? We went to school together, went for competitions, games and did what teenagers always do together. 5 years spent together in a boarding school and now, she is already carrying a baby of her own. Gosh, I still couldn't believe it. Don't get me wrong, she's married not because she has nothing to do or no longer studying. Infact, she and her husband are studying medicine in Czech Repulic.

   And yeah, I have two of my freinds here who are married to each other last summer. And the wedding feast itself was held at my rented house here, in the UK.

   Suddenly, I feel like everyone is getting married. And everyone is talking about marriage and stuffs. Even when I am together with friends, out of the blue these kind of questions usually popped out, "When are you getting married?", "When are you going to get engaged?". even my sisters asked me this very same questions sometimes. and when I say sisters, of course that includes my younger sister. Gosh, kids nowadays, they grow up so fast. Well, she is 17 but, even when she was younger, she can afford to talk about marriage. Advanced huh?

   Not that marriage is a bad thing, it is indeed a good thing and is actually encouraged by Islam. But, we can't deny the fact that there are a lot of factors that need to be taken into consideration once you starting to feel like you want to settle down.

   and one more thing just to stress here, not that this is a 'gatal' age for people my age or what but lets face is, at a certain point in a young woman's life, she begins to think about marriage and family. She plans the big day, dreams of her future husband, and wants to settle down. Unfortunately for many women, that day arrives when she's fourteen. I mean, let's be honest, ladies. Some of us have been planning our weddings for a loooooong time.

    Hihi. But at the moment, I just hope to focus on my study so that when it's time for me to get married, both my partner and I are already stable financially and ready in all aspects.

   Oh and yeah, to tell you the truth, I am urged to write about this topic as we just passed 11.11.2011 (although it has been two days), when most of the people are getting married due to the nice combination of date to be remembered. Plus, I feel the need to write and I don't really know what to write about since my life has been so dull yet challenging with loads of work.

   Infact, look at these pictures...

Definitely not a soon to be wife material.

and a bad influence AT THE MOMENT(note the capital letters)

most of all, cute beyond reason. Baby type cute that my baby will be jealous of me . KIDDING. LOL

Since 'you' asked for it

Hello world!

   Yeah, yeah, I know. It's been a while. I am just freaking busy since the very first day of my third year. Really. On the first day itself I already had to attend a course related briefing as well as my dissertation briefing. Gosh. I was like, give me a break. It's just the first day. (mind you, this was said after I have had my 3 months break) LOL. 

   Every month now, I have to submit part after part of my dissertation. It's too much of a hassle I tell you. But yeah, not that I have any other choices but to do it. I literally have no time for myself at all. with all the ongoing assignments. Seriously, they just keep on coming. I need a break. gaahhh.

   I've just submitted one assignment last month as well as the 2 parts of my dissertation. But, I have another 5 assignments that are crying for my attention right now. oh and yeah, I'd just sat for my closed analysis test last Tuesday. What the heck, right? exam in the middle of nowhere. But, I have to admit. That's just life. Nothing comes easy, right?

   And by the way, I know I told you that I am busy with my study life right now, so I am excused. What about summer holiday? Teheee. Was busy as well. Too busy 'jalan-ing'. LOL. Went to some places. Will  upload some pictures later =) eventhough nobody ask me to do so. Oh and if I am 'rajin', will tell about my raya experience this year. Clue, it was nothing like all my previous raya. This raya was my very first raya feeling quite pathetic but funny. Till then, astalavista baby!!

look. one of my holiday destinations :P

Lets go latin!

   I wish that I can learn salsa. Not the food, but the dance. Gosh, I really love to see the moves. But not really sure I'll be able to sway and dance that good. But, what if I can? haha.

   People often say if you can walk, you can salsa. Hey, I can walk! now, lets find a place to learn salsa! A good way to do something I think I like or will like and at the same time, lose some weight. Yayyy!

if I can do this, that'd be aweeesomeeee =)

So this is how you make the movies jealous.

   To those who haven't watch this, you should be doing so then. Especially GIRLS. It's about a guy who wishes to marry his girlfriend and went to ask for the girl's father permission. And once he has got the father's approval, he quickly drove to the cinema where his girlfriend actually was, watching the whole thing.

   You don't get it, don't you? The girl was actually with her brother at the local cinema to watch a 'movie'. But she was then surprised by the trailer titled 'Making the movies jealous' where she actually watched the whole thing, where her boyfriend asks her father's permission up until the moment when her boyfriend actually went into the cinema and finally proposed her.

   Well, if you still can't understand what I'm talking about, it'd be better if you watch it for yourself. If you don't, well then it's your loss, sweetheart. =)

   I can't even think of this kind of proposal. Very creative. Luckily I am a girl, if not, my girlfriend would not be the luckiest girl. I can assure that.

   Credit to this guy who went extra mile to give his girlfriend a proposal to remember. Movie trailer marriage proposal. Who would have thought about it? Well, he did. =)

Girls' bestfriend

   I was in the library studying with Zack today and I told her how I was sad and upset yesterday. Fyi, I actually cried. Reason? Because I think that I'm fat and I look ugly. Not that I was attractive before. Why now? Well, this is what Mr. Danny told me when I cried infront him last night. "Susah kan bile PMS ni.." He will always feels at a loss for words each time my "best friend" visits me. Nothing he says will be able to make me feel better. Because apparently, I will always have ways to object him. Zero tolerate T___T 

   I wonder how men feel each and every time they have to deal with this syndrome. Guess that you just have to deal with it, huh? ngeee.

   So anyways, this was what Zack asked me then, "Tell me, how do you differentiate between PMS women and terrorist?"

   What kind of question is this? I wondered how this question was even relevant. I couldn't even  think of any relationship between women and terrorists. Then she smiled and say, "We can negotiate with terrorists." haha. Very tricky. Really? I don't know. But I think that was a good one. Smart huh? 

So, what do you think?

Going on a battle!

   yes! I'm going on a battle, tomorrow! my first paper for my second year exams. 

   and of course, I'm in an agitation mood. Who won't be this time of the year? I'm glad you said that. But unlike what people normally feel, which is this kind of fear for exams, I'm scared that I don't even know and don't even feel like reading/ studying. 

   OMG! What is wrong with me? Have I went berserk? Yeah. In fact, you always are, Issy.

   This is so different from last year when I actually studied extremely hard for my exams. 

   Yes, I read. oh, yes, did I not mention that I revise? 

   well, that's about it. because, in a way I kinda feel that what went inside my head straight away went out. what a waste, huh?

   not that my parents didn't tell me to be prepared and go to the exam hall with a peace mind. fortunately, they did! REPETITIVELY.to tell you the truth, I am shockingly calm however I'm not certain that I'm prepared. hope I am.

   well, the point is not that I can't even and don't even feel like studying. I am actually in a very tranquil mind right now.and this is worrying me!

   and now, I decided to put my exams schedule here because, whenever people asked me, I can't even tell when is the exact date and time of exams. I never bother looking at the exams' timetable. I tell you, this is irrefutably bizarre. I have never felt like this during exams my entire life.

this picture makes me feel like I'm actually studying somehow.

but, looks can be very deceiving. pictures too.

Pictures speak a thousand words. agree!

shall we?

   my lecturer, Mark asked us today how do we say "shall we get on to this?" of course, most of my friends tried to say it and they all sounded the same, nothing different from the way Mark said it, "shall we get on to this". but, funnily they were trying to hard which made it sound all Malaysian and a little weird I must say. sorry guys. I'm proud to tell you, I didn't try saying it at all because I was still trying to think, "really, what do you expect us to say?" I simply didn't understand the main purpose of Mark's question. (I'm that slow ) And before the class got more chaotic with almost everyone attempting to say and pronounce the sentence, hoping to say it the way he would want us to, he then told us: "this is how you say it;

"shwi get on to this". 

   Ladies and gentlemen, and that's how the native would say it. silly enough, I answered him, "Yes, we shhh" omitting the we or 'wi'. to those who didn't get it, I was trying to say, "yes, we shall". I know, it wasn't even funny. but I'm glad zack laughed (not sure whether it was genuine or she was just being a good friend but it did make me smile). hehe. Danny, if you are reading this, LAUGH! THIS IS AN ORDER.

Spring is here!

Spring is here! why doesn't my heart go dancing? lalalala~ yeah, because of the assignments! Gosh, how could you forget that?

3 down anyway.

yet, I have 1 more to go.

and ofcourse, a lot more to come. exams, of course. *eyes drooling*

so, nothing is new I think.

but I'm glad to share with you some of the pictures.

how spring is here, in Canterbury.

in case you are wondering, I'm the one holding the camera. ngee :D

the Brits, they just love sunshine.

this is the path I take everyday

my neighbour's house. isn't it pretty?

the view from my room.

zekzek, performing her zohor prayer :)

I'm not really sure what they call this place but it's there. hehe

look at the messy table. we were working so hard, ok.

that day, Ivon restrained herself from checking her facebook and mail. she told me she was 'fasting'.

and the two last pictures up here are something extra for you. I meant, for IVON. been begging asking me to upload her pictures and write about her many many times. she just love the publicity. haha. so Ivon, if you are reading this, then the debt is paid. in fact, you owe me for the publicity, howkey!

and I think, Mr Danny might have some other interesting places to share with us here. I'll ask him to if he refuses. :)
