Cabaran

Life is hard maa..

You think those rich dudes living in penthouses and driving Ferrari are always having fun, jumping around in nightclubs?

Most of the time maybe, but not all the time

The bigger your 'periuk', the bigger your 'kerak' la (did i just made my own proverb?)

..which means, they can have even bigger problems@obstacles than us mere mortals

Example:-

..they can lose millions in stock trends

..or what if the Ferrari got stolen

..or worse, their wife can leave them for a gigolo

so yes, life is difficult for everybody

even for me (especially for me!)

exam was over@done@finish@ 'khatam' today (finally..now i can get a break until another repeat exam in November)

but can you believe what i have to go through the past 2 days?

i drove all the way up to Belfast! (Belfast is the capital of Northern Ireland. It is part of UK, not Ireland. Need passport to travel here folks) with the 'new to me' car! alone!

i cannot stress this word enough..ALONE!

my God! Once upon a time i would not even trust myself to ride a bike..and the next thing i was driving to another country with the help of GPS (Bravo to whoever invented GPS. I'm sure u are richer than rich by now)

And guess what? The GPS is outdated! I went offtrack into some woodlands on the thingy while i was actually driving on the highway

I made it to the hotel of course..it was only 3 hours journey but my God it felt like forever. I ended with a headache because i was focusing so hard on the road (and kudos to u mister by inventing GPS, but i would not count my life on it. I lost track of how many times i went into the wrong junction or missed my turns. Perhaps the thingy will get cleverer 10 years from now)




taking pictures of oneself like a sad old sod


                                                                                  

suka hati la nak gelek ke apa, bukan ada orang pon..




this was lunch. Cannot finish it no matter hard i try. So simpan la in the hope of making it dinner. Harapan!





In the end i settled with this: Linguine with roasted vegetables, accompanied by grated cheese and garlic bread. Yummy!





First thing i do everytime in a hotel: check the bathroom





Could not live without them





Decent bed. Hmmph, a bit weird sleeping alone. I slept only on one side of the bed..old habit.






Red and white..macam pelamin pulak





Beg sapa cantek ni? Opps, it's mine la. ROFL!

ToTally



ToTally in LoVe!

i think this bag is multifunctional, affordable and simple yet elegant..

i have been reading views about this bag online for a LONG time

some people call it the diaper bag, which i think sungguh menjatuhkan saham beg ini

hello, this is LV ok?







hohoho! i want to wear this bag with a black sunglasses jugak!

i already have a list of things that i can put in the side pockets (i think they are genius thinking! x payah bukak zip, dah boleh simpan barang. haha)

OK. some of the things i think can fit in them:
1. tissues
2. bottle susu mia-chan
3. minyak yu yii mia-chan
4. lipstick and lip glosses
5. handphone (iphone x muat kot)
..x larat nak tulis dah. Point being, sangat berguna nyer beg ini!

Pastu, i also of things i can use it for, such as:
1. Shopping (of course, senang nak bawak. Ini nak pegang plastik beg lagi, nak pegang beg lagi. Seronok je peragut tengok)
2. Travelling
3. Berjalan ke rumah kekawan
4. Picnic
5. Makan gulai @ nasi minyak

Most of all, i think ToTally is very comfy to carry. Most of my bags are pretty but some are not practical. (Itulah, don't judge a book by it's cover) Lenguh bahu memikulnya

So, tunggu apa lagi? Saper nak volunteer beli untuk saya? huhuhu..duit gaji habis dah la

Study lagik

Mummy mia-chan is not her best in recent days

so blog pun x ter'update'

bilik bersepah

muka berjerawat

...

have an upcoming exam the day after next..but so not in the mood for one! tak masuk exam hall lagi pon i can safety bet x pass punyer

aiyoo there goes my hundreds of euros again! kalau tahu macam ni aku pegi beli LV lagi sebijik!

currently i am locking myself in the room trying to force some studying into my brain..the result? hampeh, lagi hampeh dari semalam (spend the whole day sleeping-kononnya ganti tidur sebab postcall)

it's not like i don't have enough motivation. Friends were posting up pictures of their graduation and announcing  kejayaan masing-masing on facebook. sangat depress duh! Fine. Jealous kot aku ni, tapi kalau jealous why not study harder? Tak nak. Tak mahu. Bukak one page then i bukak purseblog, tengok collection LV mat saleh2 yang x dikenali

OK lah

Tawakkal je lah..

birmingham!

guess what? never been there before. heard stories, but never was tempted to book a flight and visit.

until i found out about this...




BICESTER VILLAGE!

it's filled with outlet stores from various designers ie GUCCI, PRADA, BURBERRY, FENDI, etc. seriously, u can get really good bargains here.. some of them are 50% off their original price. why oh why is it not in Ireland? if so, i will go everyday la






would u believe it?their 2-storey parking is full, we were lucky we arrived midday, so still some spaces left.

it's summer and also the school holiday, so i can't blame them.







The Village opening hours...and what's great, no dogs allowed. although i can't imagine why would u bring one shopping with u









the shops are individuals and are in these cute houses. (almost like visiting your friends houses during raya)





Jimmy Choo. OK. Went in for half a second and quickly retreat..EXPENSIVE! Plus their bags are not my taste. Macam Mak Datin punyer stail (sorry Jimmy!)





GUCCI. I thought i would go crazy inside their store, but strangely NO. A lot of people were though..macam kat pasar malam pulak aku nengok.Not much choice, possibly because the good ones were snapped already. People were picking up stuffs like they were in 1 pound shop. Hello, that bag u're holding is thousands of Ringgits, at least pretend to think before handing over your credit card.












This one, i like. Kudos to PRADA. Good bargain here. BUT, i nearly bought a bag with pig skin lining inside..not cool. Luckily one of the sales girl was nice enough to point that out to me. Nasib baik x pegang, if not kat mana lah nak cari tanah nak samak kat sini





All in all, i'm HAPPY. Didn't get a lot of goodies, but the ones that i caught that day was well worth the flight ticket to Birmingham.





and Big Thank You to mia-chan who let mummy shop to her heart's content..she was truly exhausted by the time we reach the hotel. You can borrow mummy punyer bags when u reach 18 ok?

New Zealand

Aiyoo..

this heart needs to be sent to a workshop..prompt!

have u reach a point where u lose the will to do anything?

in medicine we call it DEPRESSION..

patients often will describe it in these words..

..'Doctor, i just don't see a point in living anymore'..

..'sometimes i just want to sleep and never wake up'..

..'there's no light at the end of the tunnel'..

and you would know things are BAD when they avoid eye contacts and trying to hide the wound on their wrist from self-mutilating oneself

(at which point, you should call the Psychiatrist to assess them PRONTO!)

but life is indeed a WHEEL

you could be the doctor at one time.. and what do you know, you might be the one to swallow Paracetamol tablets like Smarties the next day? (God forbid la!)

i don't feel great today..well actually i haven't been feeling good for quite a while

tried looking for exciting, fun, creative ways to perk myself up(bags, vacation, eating out)..of course they haven't been working, because i'm feeling worse worse than before

i wish for drops of rain to cure this drought, but there's no quick fix..this will be long and painful

and there's no other way through it-blood, sweat and tears as they say

but i was thinking..maybe what i need right now is a nice, quiet (and very long) break!

i don't think i NEED to do medicine..in the beginning it started as a 'why don't u try and see how u fit in?'..passed a few exams and then just get on from that

but God knows my path in medicine is not easy..at one point, i just went=just gimme a break, will ya??

.. still, i went on and finished it

4 years on after graduation day, i still have DOUBTS about it.. maybe this is not what i wanted to be my next 40 years

i see my seniors above me, and yet i don't aspire to become them-living with  a stethoscope around your neck is a burden

and that glorious day where u can shout and yell at your underlings only happens to a few

..the rest of u will continue to be yelled at

suddenly that future that i so look forward to is not that bright anymore

in another word, i don't want to do medicine anymore!

maybe what i want really is to stay at home and produce more mia-chans (well, that might not be the best solution either)

..gimme a year of holiday-ing and travelling in New Zealand and i might change my mind..

my babies...





if i'm rajin, this is where my babies sleep (not mia-chan of course... she sleeps next to daddy)

if i'm malas, they would be anywhere from the living-room, the kitchen or sometimes even under the bed

anyway, they just got a new sister! (will post up pics soon..)

i try to keep them balanced..50% for going out to dinners, 50% to hold my stethoscope, papers and lunch box.. these are my going out babies, my go-to-work babies are in different cupboard. They are not decent yet, so let's not take pictures

looking at them makes me long for a house of my own, where they will sleep in the walk-in closet husband promised to built me (yeah, right! i'll be lucky to even get a cupboard)

i'm making plans to go home. .(hence the obsession of buying bags, because there's no way i can afford to buy them at home, with the expensive living cost and all) please God everything goes smoothly, but i still can't get my head around where to live and where to work. KL or Kelantan?

These 2 places can't be more different.. as different as Ireland and Malaysia

i've been away from home so long i want to be as close to family as possible..BUT as always, things are not easy as they look

at the moment, i'm leaning towards KL..(traffics jams, small and tight flat as a home and expensive groceries.what's there not to like?)

but tomorrow, i might change my mind again
