KFC Muenchen

Salam All,
While watching tv3online last tuesday,keluar pulak iklan KFC.
So hubby terus ajak pegi Muenchen(Munich),ade KFC halal hehe.KFC might be nothing to some of you,but it's a BIG thing for us here:p
Halal food susah nak cari,unless you choose to *katok,which is a big NO for me.
If you have friends studying abroad,ask them about this term,for sure tau hehe.
*katok-eating non-zabiha meat
Ok back to the KFC trip.Gosh the weather was soooo beautiful so to the park first lah!
Englische Garten was pretty under the sun but it didnot last long.I almost threw out seeing a few naked bodies tgh sunbathing,tgh berjalan2 lagi.Makcik Pakcik ok haiyooo.**jgn imagine,geli**
In Germany,nudism is a common thing,there's even a movement called (FKK) and allocated park for nudism.
My german teacher and hubby dah mention about this before so I was not that surprised butttt i didnot expect to see those in a public park. Jadi bolehkah anda berehat rehat dengan suami kesayangan dikelilingi makcik pakcik yg tidak berbaju?Harus la beredar kan hehhh.
Muenchen Rathaus(Town Hall)

Schoener Fruehling...

Salam All,

Spring is finally here!
The temperature has been constantly above 15Celcius since the last 2 days,best sgt!!
Hubby pon bawak la the wifey keluar-pegi pasar,beli groceries,lepak kat park mkn ice cream!hahaha

potted herbs,i wantt!
cantik kan?

On another note,i received an email from my supervisor,asking me the progress of project :(
Sakit perut bila pikir,dgn exam lagi huuuu takotttttt.Tapi i freak out for 5 mins jer:pThanks to M*RA!My flight ticket reimbursement dah clear!Mind you,i bought the ticket(KL-London by MAS)2 days before departure okie :DSo that one-way ticket is even more expensive than a return ticket,kalau tak approve tatau la,mmg tak tido mlm:p Tapi my allowance for this month is still pending,hopefully they will clear out next week.Then boleh settlekan all the Paris train tix,hotel booking insyaAllah.We're heading to Paris this June,along with my 2 sisters.Hmm i heard quite a lot of bad review about Paris,especially from my European-celup friends.So i suggested Barcelona and Rome instead.Tapi tak diapproved,so Paris it is!


Orait gtg,hubby will be back in an hour,kene prepare lunch.
Take care!

Hello from Augsburg

Salam All,
Melaporkan diri from Augsburg hehe.
No picnic whatsoever (sob sob)since the Augsburg's weather doesnot permit.Went to visit Augsburg's new clan jugak,baby nadhirah,kene beratur ok nak jumpa nadhirah nie.Ramai sgt peminat!!And i just knew that baby kat sini is advised(by Paed) to bath once a week jer,ooo.

Isteri mithali ikut hubby pegi sekolah tapi malas nak masak bleh?

Since i'm in the revision mode(hee study la konon2:p),i munch a lot!
Abg dgn baik hatinya buat this Muesli slice.Thanks dek!
Orait,back to my study desk!15 mins break is over :p
Tschuss,take care!

Goodbye London,Hello again Deutschland!

Salam All,

Alhamdulillah,esok dah Friday:)My flight is at 3pm esok,tapi class habis 12pm!Harus bawak luggage ke sekolah,habis class terus lari to South Kensington tube station.Augsburg is my 2nd home,so packing is easy.Bawak bekal chilli sauce and some other junkie from Oriental Market jer.Owh plus my notes, exam kan is right after the break :(Things you'll never find in Augsburg but berlambak in London nie.


Ma ckp hubby and I nie dok ulang alik Augsburg-London macam pegi Kota Bharu huhu.Sounds seronok eh travelling here and there but I envy those of you who have your hubby twenty-four-seven by your side.Long distance marriage is tough i tell you huuuu.
Our marriage cert~Translated from Jawi to English by a Court Legal Translator,then endorsed by Wisma Putra barulah translated to German by a translator appointed by German Embassy.

Got tons of plan this weekend with hubby,will see how it goes.
Tschuss!Schoenes Wochenende ;)

Wuduk Zahir Batin

Salam All,
Got this from email.
A very good sharing,at least for myself sebab sometimes semayang pon hujung2 waktu,cepat2 pulak tue sebab nak sambung keje la ape lah :(

Seorang ahli ibadah bernama Isam Bin Yusuf, sangat warak dan khusyuk solatnya.
Namun, dia selalu khuatir kalau-kalau ibadahnya kurang khusyuk dan selalu bertanya kepada orang yang dianggapnya lebih ibadahnya, demi untuk memperbaiki dirinya yang selalu dirasainya kurang khusyuk.
Pada suatu hari, Isam menghadiri majlis seorang abid bernama Hatim Al-Assam dan bertanya,
"Wahai Aba Abdurrahman, bagaimanakah caranya tuan solat?"
Hatim berkata, "Apabila masuk waktu solat, aku berwudhu' zahir dan batin."
Isam bertanya, "Bagaimana wudhu' zahir dan batin itu?"
Hatim berkata, "Wudhu' zahir sebagaimana biasa iaitu membasuh semua anggota wudhu' dengan air".
Sementara wudhu' batin ialah membasuh anggota dengan tujuh perkara :-
* Bertaubat
* Menyesali dosa yang telah dilakukan
* Tidak tergila-gilakan dunia
* Tidak mencari/mengharap pujian orang (riya')
* Tinggalkan sifat berbangga
* Tinggalkan sifat khianat dan menipu
* Meninggalkan sifat dengki.

Seterusnya Hatim berkata, "Kemudian aku pergi ke masjid, aku kemaskan semua anggotaku dan menghadap kiblat
. Aku berdiri dengan penuh kewaspadaan dan aku rasakan:
1.aku sedang berhadapan dengan Allah,
2.Syurga di sebelah kananku,
3.Neraka di sebelah kiriku,
4.Malaikat Maut berada di belakangku, dan
5.aku bayangkan pula aku seolah-olah berdiri di atas titian 'Siratal mustaqim' dan menganggap bahawa solatku kali ini adalah solat terakhir bagiku, kemudian aku berniat dan bertakbir dengan baik."

"Setiap bacaan dan doa didalam solat, aku faham maknanya kemudian aku rukuk dan sujud dengan tawadhuk, aku bertasyahud dengan penuh pengharapan dan aku memberi salam dengan ikhlas. Beginilah aku bersolat selama 30 tahun."

Apabila Isam mendengar, menangislah dia kerana membayangkan ibadahnya yang kurang baik bila dibandingkan dengan Hatim.

Baby booo

Salam All,
How's your weekend?Mine was macam-biasa ;p
Over the weekend juga,hubby and i had this discussion on how early should we get baby's stuff.
Ok,i am not yet pregnant,but it's good to plan ahead kan?
Tapi is it wise kalau beli barang tapi pregnant pon belum lagi?Huhuhu dibuat org kah?
Semlm survey 3 Wheelers online,but it will come later on i guess,macam terover plok hahaha.
Since this one is sale,beli yg nie dulu huhu,hubby la nih!
Next weekend's agenda insyaAllah-->
Berpicnic di Muenchen Englischer Garten oder by die Lechrain,shall we abg?
Need to find a cheapo picnic mat lah.

Ich vermiesse.......

My sister just sent these photos.
I miss this kucing gemok,he is everybody's favorite,manja kedek but careful,he bites strangers ok,aummm

Boboy's waiting for his bfast.Nyum nyum,chicken flavor cookies.He hates fish,cookies must be chic or lamb shj,and from Eagle Pack please.Iams and Royal Canin tak layan,mengada!

Playtime!Meet Mr Snack ,his fav mangsa buli.Enough for today,sambung tido plak!
Tido and makan,weighs 8.5kg,he's one real Garfield =).

Exam Mode( yer ker?)

Grrr,exam schedule is out!
Balik Augsburg kene bawak buku huhu.

One thing for sure,we wont be travelling out of Bayern this Easter Break.
Enough with Muenchen utk kesian kalinya.
9 papers in 3 weeks haiyoo.
Viel Glueck Pn Ami!

I really need to start revising,dah almost 3.5 yrs tak exam nie :p
Tapi on Sunday plannye to Car Boot Sale(if the weather permits).
I've never been to one,yard sale kat US dulu pernah lah.
Heard a lot about it,so yeah why not kan?Jalan2 hujung minggu :)
Enjoy your weekend all!

Another lazy Wed?

Hihi baru wed dah malas,apa lah kan?

I should be doing some reading and running some circuit simulation but ended up?
-->sunbathing sampai tertido ok hahaha.
Erkk bukan sunbathing kat park or even kat rooftop garden,tapi atas katil ;p
I love it when it's sunny because it's really rare!!

Chelsea under the sun hehe

I guess Spring is finally here,pashmina baru pon tak guna lagi.Yerp,from Tie Rack and i got it for 1.60GBP each!!
They were on promotion last 2 weeks!
Just get the coupon(from the DailyTelegraph) and you'll get the pashmina for free.
I was lucky to get to the store early when all the nice colors were still available.
Well it's worth 20GBP,sape tamau kan.

And so it's time to shop for Spring clothes!
Enough of boots and winter jackets hehe.
I'd love to have one of these ballet pumps from FrenchSole, but my feet is size 3.5 yer kawan2:p.
I can fit into size 4 for trainers,but not ballerinas.
So tiap2 hari lalu tgk saje sambil gigit jari,kesian kan?:p

Bosan

Rindunye Mr.Bunny nie.
Kalau die bace this post,mesti die ckp "eiii jgnla letak gambar abg besar2 kat blog" huhuhu :p.
Tapi sekarang die pegi jalan2 to Viking Ship Museum or sth,bila die balik nanti tgk la,mesti ckp macam tue.

Weekend was bosan.
I was praying it's going to be bright and sunny,tapi mane ade,London macam biasa,gloomy saje.
I was in my room most of the time except on Sat morning,was out to Victoria Station and South Ken,beli Ben's cookies lagi,bleh tak?It's the time of the month,when body hormones change,semua bende rase nak mkn kan?

On another note,my dissertation topic has been finalized and approved,hopefully boleh siap on time,pray for me!

Of Cookies and what not

I love cookies(at least since i come here,kat msia mkn tat nenas jer:p)

First it was M&S cookies,then Cadbury's then Fox's,but on top of all,it's Ben's Cookies(and Millie's) that i love most.Yummeeeyyyy yummyyy!!!
The smell,sedapp sgt2,i'm sending a box to my family through my housemate.tapi sendiri makan pulak dah,anak durhaka sungguh.So esok pagi2 kene gi Ben's lagi nak topup.
Selalu macam tue,hari tue bawak balik Krispy Kreme for hubby,sendiri makan jugak :p


My favourite-Triple Choc!Anyway,London Fashion Week is finally over.
I have nothing to do with it, except that i passed through the exhibition every day on the way to the college
(itu pon nak kire ye:p)If you're lucky,you might get some free fashion magazines( i got 2!!).
When they started building up the tent,i thought it was for a concert :p
Well,who can expect an event like that at the National History Museum kan?
Dinosour? and fashion?
That's the NH Museum at the back,the admission is free so yerp if you're visiting London especially with kids,
bring them here!

Few days back,i woke up in the middle of the night and had a hard time going back to sleep.

Tapi mase kat Bath and Oxford,it rained cats and dogs!So tak jalan pon,pusing town dgn kete jer hehehe.
Back in London,we went to Buckingham Palace to see the changing of the guards.I have been here for half a year,but that was my first time to the palace :p.Over excited pulak tue,the event start at 1130am,tapi 1045am kecoh keluar rumah,even naik bus 15 mins jer to the palace,hubby ckp nie sapa tourist nie :p.

London in the Snow

It's snowyy in London huhu.Why is that a big deal?

Because it's in LONDON,not in West Lafayette,IN huhu.
Last nite all the bus were suspended.And some are still withdrawn from service this morning.
Camne nak gi sekolah nie?
Owh tak payah pegi since the head of department announced all classes are cancelled today :p!!
So,yours truly and her housemates pon went out to the Battersea Park depan rumah
to join other Londoners layan snow:p
I love it when it snows but i'm praying for warmer weather towards the weekend sebab....

Goodbye Deutschland,Hello again London :(

Sudah balik London :(

Eh tak boleh sedih2 as i'm going to see hubby again in 4 weeks insyaAllah:)

Boleh tak the immigration officer at Munich Airport tue ckp,
"i guess you'll be visiting Munich again in February right"?
Sebab die tgk history,i have been traveling in and out of Munich every month since Oct,
and that was my 9th trip to Munich sebenarnya.
But no Mr Officer,i wont be traveling next month.
InsyaAllah February is hubby's turn:)
Ich vermisse dich!

We have been on long distance relationship since 2002 (Msia/USA,USA/Germany,Msia/Germany and currently Germany/UK) .InsyaAllah if our plans run smoothly,end of the year nie dah boleh join hubby hurray!Being apart makes a marriage really challenging but alhamdulillah we make it through.

Some sharing from the nets on maintaining a long distance marriage:

Main keys are communication,commitment,discipline and trust :)

1. Keep the lines of communication open on a daily basis.
2. Being committed to one another and truly believing that your spouse belives in the marriage commitment is vital.
3. A long distance marriage will fail if there is a lack of trust between the partners.
4. Although you are apart from one another, make time for one another.You can do this with instant messaging service--Skyping is the best!!
   
5. Share your expectations about being apart from one another. Also share your expectations when you are close to being together again.
6. Be honest about your concerns and fears about your separation.
7. Give one another a scented pillow case or shirt to help keep your presence with them->i cant sleep w/o hubby's kain pelikat kehkeh
   
8. Plan a trip or some fun activity to do when the two of you are back together.
9. Surprise each other once in a while . Send care cards/packages to each other now and then.-->owh you gotta ask my hubby how many cards did i send him,especially when i was in the States!I love Hallmark's card collection hihi
   

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year all!
Whoops lmbt eh,3rd Jan baru nak wish hehe.

We didnt join the crowd for New Year count down,saye takot fireworks jatuh atas kepala lagi huhu.Macam biase in Deutschland nie,kalau on public holidays,semua kedai including shopping mall akan tutup.So we just stayed indoor,tgk tv,masak and study!
Hee kate students kan,hubster's exam starts in 2 weeks while yours truly cam biase lah,buat coursework!

Wokie,2009's plan:

-To complete my MSc by end of Sept insyaAllah
-To get preggy.Hee dah 2 yrs+ jeolous tgk org lain ade baby :p!
-If hubby succeeds his plan A,i need to polish my Deutsch kot:p
-Mau balik msia end of the year!Be it just for holiday or for good,tgk rezeki.
-To save more and spend less since there're going to be a lot of travelling between London and Munich(and other parts of Europe i hope!)
