To Canterbury, Kent today :)

Hello everyone,

How are you doing?  Thank you so much for dropping in this week.  Finally, it’s Saturday.  I was in school for the whole week. Yuhu!!!!  I am so proud of myself.  Working on my research, of course. Even though I went to my office for couple of hours every day, but I loved to work in the library.  When I do something, I prefer views, spacious place, and love the smell of books. hahahhaha..how silly is that?!! 

Today,  I am going to Canterbury in Kent.  It’s near to the sea.  A lot of history about King Henry IV (if I am not mistaken) with his wives’ stories, with the Church of England story, etc.  Can’t wait.  I hope it’s not raining today.  The forecast says this weekend will be cold, wet, and cold and cold!  Anyway, yesterday I bought a book called ‘The Other Boleyn Girl’ after heard stories from my colleagues.  Oh yeah, my first supervisor lives here. She always asks me to go to Canterbury.  Finally..hehehe…

Ok..will try to take lots of pictures. heheh..

Take care and have a good weekend ahead.

Love,

Emma xx.

NB: Oh, I woke so early today..around 5ish. hehhee..I guess, had good sleep last night.  Take care!

Snow oh Snow

Hello everyone,

It was snowing this morning. Even though it was not settled, but hey, it was a pleasant surprise though, because we didn’t get any snow in November last year!  This is a good sign, isn’t it?  God Almighty

I took some snow videos, but i don’t know how to upload the file.  So, I took my backyard’s photo. 

It’s really freezing especially when the show is melting.  So, don’t forget your snow cap, a pair of gloves, thick jackets, turtle neck (i love this turtle neck), muffler, and a pair of socks and boots.  Also, don’t forget to wear your thermal clothes underneath ur outwear.  Have I told you that, I bought a pair of boots that covers my calves?  I feel sexy! LOL. 

I wonder whether we can have a white Christmas this year in London? 

It’s time for bed. Good night everyone. See you tomorrow. Tomorrow is my first day of school after one week on- leaves. 

Sweet dreams. Hugs and kisses from me always.

Love,

Emma xx.

New resolution ;)

Hey all,

Good morning Hows you?  I am doing fine today. Bright and shine today in the UK.  Can’t miss the day, and that’s why I was up early today.  Well, still cold though.  No doubts!

Alright, I’d like to share you my new resolution besides my studying. 

I want to diet. heheheh…I hope to see the result in 6 months from now.  What am I going to achieve this resolution?  I have several alternatives:

1.  I am taking Herbalife products as my food supplement.

2.  Be a gym member at school. Will go to gym during lunch hours.

3. Be a leisure center member in my home area. So that I can follow the exercise program, swimming program, and other program in the evenings and weekends. 

My challenges are:

1. the weather.

2. My ‘LAZY’ attitude.

3. I need to discipline myself. 

So guys, check on me always.  Don’t pressure me at the same time.  Motivate me.  LOL.

Good luck to me and those who want to reduce weight or put on weight.

Homesick :-/

Dear all,

I feel homesick since I came back from Malaysia last Thursday.  Especially on last Friday morning. About two months ago, I was surrounded by my family at home and friends, companied by my beloved ones.  Suddenly, in ‘one second’, they are not with me again.  That’s life, isn’t it?  I am grateful that I still have opportunity to see and visit them. 

From this life, I realize that I am a people-oriented person.  I need people around me to motivate me move on.  I realize that. I can do lot and more with people around me.  I also realize, I have had enough by living by myself. Previous life of mine, I was alright to be by myself.  Went out by myself. Travelled by myself.  Everything was by myself. And now, I discovered something- I want to be with family and friends and do many things together.  I guess, the more I get older, the more I want companionships.  I love hugs and kisses.  I have had enough with virtual hugs and kisses.  I have to change that.  PhD is really teaching me a lot here.   The true life..the true love..the true people, the true challenges, and  the truth of me. 

Anyway, I have to stop now.  Hoping my homesick feeling, jetlag, will go away soon. 

To my family: Mak, Bapak, Aspa, Usu Laki, Usu Ompuan, Boy, Baby, & Girl, Kak Coryina & Aldrin, Kak Shirley, Biri & Danial, Faisal, Shima, Shasha, & Balqis & Shima’s family, Auntie Bee Lan, Auntie Hilda & Uncle Johan, Lina & family – I MISS YOU ALL LOADS. LOVE YOU ALL.  HUGS AND KISSES FOR U ALL. 

To my loved one: Thank you so much for your time and companionship.  I know you were busy with your work, but still you could spend time with me.  Thank you for your love and care.  I miss you. Hugs and kisses for u.  Till we meet again. xxxx

To my best friend, Atika – Thank you for your time I enjoyed our Friday afternoon outing session. hehehe..FYI, we went to the Spring almost on Friday afternoon. hehehe… So, I guess you know where will I be on every Friday afternoon after I completed my phd…I’ll be with Atika. hahahaha..No, just kidding. 

To Kak Sal – Thanks for your time as well.  Thanks for your ears.  Every time I talk to you, I feel like I am back to my own feet again. You are a just a good sister to me.  I wish you all the best. 

To Najidah- Thanks for your TLC.  May Allah always be with us. amin… xxx.. 

To my friends, thanks for everything.  I hope to see you all again.

To Auntie Zu- it was a pleasure to see you again.  Take care auntie. You are one of the persons who I’d love to visit everytime I go back.  Thanks for your prayers, love and care. 

Alright..it’s enough.  Wanna watching movie ‘Just dessert’ on Five US. hehe..I don’t want to be so emotional. Need to relax and sleep. hahahha…

Take care and till we meet again.

Love,

Emma xx.

I am back to London :) xx.

Hi Guys,

I am back!!!    Happy to be home. :D Sad when I left my beloved ones though. 

Trust me..it’s not easy to leave someone we love back home.  Many of my friends told me, “Emma, you are a strong lady”, “Emma, you are a superwoman”, “Emma, you can do it” etc.  I am grateful that my friends see me like that. I take those comments as my motivation to move on in this part of world.  To be honest, it’s not easy be myself in London, living at home by myself, sometimes my landlord comes over to check on me, friends also. 

Am I scared? Yes, of couse I am!  I read one book when I was in Malaysia. Fear is inside us.  So, get rid of that fear, we shall see the hidden goodnesses. I agree with the author.  However, it’s not easy to get rid the fear!  My biggest fear is FAILURE.  I am scared if I face anyfailure, I cannot face it or I cannot find ways to ‘wake up’. Nauzubillah..Yes, I will try my best to work harder and smarter.  I believe that every problem has its own way to solve it.  So, I hope Allah gives me strength to ‘lift’ my life struggles and light to torch my ways.  Amen..

To my beloved ones- family and friends, I thank you from bottom of my heart for your time, your companion, your love, your TLC, your attention, and your prayers.  Without you, I won’t be here. I may not see your kindness, I hope it’s not to late to say thank you for your love. 

Alright..enough with the drama..hahahh I shall stop now.  Take care all.  I miss you and love you all always.  

PLease do keep in touch with me. Remind me of my purpose of life. Talk to me if I choose the wrong way.  Listen to my sorrow and encourage, motivate me.  Remind me of God.  Remind me that I have beloved ones who are waiting for me back home.  I can’t wait to complete my PhD. (sshhh…) Just secret between ‘us’ – I want to settle down..LOL. I have the need to settle down.  hehhhe..May my destiny and faith lead me to the true happiness with people that I want to be with! Amen.

Love always from Thamesmead ~ Emma xx.

Count down… 2 more days..

Hello everyone,

How’s everyone?  I am counting down. Doing mental preparation before leaving to London, especially relating to my study, the weather, life in London, GBP, research and etc. 

I will do my best and try to be a better Emma!  I set up some goals – short term goals and long term goals.  My big question now is “HOW TO BE VOCALIZE IN MY AREA?”  This is my big challenge.  I have no time to ‘play around’.  I need to utilize all my time with activities. 

Pray for me.  May my life journey goes smoothly. Amin. 

To all my parents, families- aunts, uncles, cousins, thank you so much for your TLC, blesses, and will miss you as usual. 

To Kak Shirley, Kak Coryina, Biri, you guys are awesome.  Thanks for the lovely dinner at the Ah Seng restaurant last Saturday night. It was so lovely and thank you. 

To Sister Swee Lan, thank you so much for taking care of my hair. hahahah…For those out there in Kuching or wherever you are, my Sis Swee Lan runs a hair saloon.  I RECKON you.  Sis Swee Lan, thanks for all the time- shopping, breakfasts, and lunch. And of course, durians..hahahah…I loved the durians.  Nyum nyum nyum…

To all my friends, thank you so much for your support, care, and love. Without your kindness friendship, I won’t be here (wherever I am- heheh )

Ehem..I shall continue this post later.  Wanna go out for a while.    I haven’t quite finished yet… hehehe…

Love you always,

Emma xxx.

Oh Lord..give me strength.. amin..

Dear all,

Another 6 days to London… I don’t know what to say.  Separation with my beloved ones…that is hard, isn’t it?

Guys,

This feeling always occurs whenever I want to be apart with them.  The feeling of “Am I going to see them again? Will they be alright without me? What will happen to them when I am away?” These are my questions (may be more) when I am not in Malaysia. 

And this is my feeling about me living in London. I will be living by myself.  Alone.  Boring. Fear. Need someone around me to support me. The weather, gosh!  I am afraid if I fall sick again.  I hope my body will cope with the weather. 

Ya Allah, please guide me to Your path..Give me strength..Protect me, my family, my sisters and brothers around the world from any danger, hardness, bad people, bad intentions, etc…amin…

Till then, have a nice evening.

It’s 10 at night, shall go to bed soon.

Love always from Kuching ~ Emma xx.
