The days of our lives

The tittle actually sounds abit too big for what I am about to write, but I like it, so don't judge :p

Soo, i've been spending my 10 days of December, overseas and it's been an amazing experience. It's probably my third time being away from my family. This time i'm with the J.C (inside joke :p) and one of the M.C (again...inside joke) family. Experiencing the student life overseas which me, Dani and Abg Afiq will hopefully be going through ourselves in years to come...Amin...

Anyway, the first day we arrived, it was abit of a suprise since we didn't think it would be that 'hot' and before we came here, me and Abg Afiq thought that what the parents meant by 'no airconditioner' was like saying, 'it's just not working' but instead it was literally saying 'THERE IS NO AIRCONDITIONER'. First night was something to get used too, and as days go on, the weather, the heat was just another thing we get by throughout each day. We do still say it's hot but we don't complain, there's nothing we can do about it anyway. HAHA.

We travel by foot most of the time, bus as well, not forgetting the city cat (person-ferry) and the train. Walking TO our destination always seem fast as we get all hyped up thinking of the things we'll get and the "BOOST" (a smoothie bar) drinks we'll be drinking, although walking BACK home seems never-ending...tired, aching foots as well as the chilly weather on certain nights. Nonetheless, it's always fun having your family as company, the laughters, the tease, the 'speaking in Malay because they all don't understand' thing we do. HAHA. The worst part about being here is missing the people back home, family members of course (:

We spend most of our days shopping...more shopping and even more... We came here, invited, to attend our beloved cousin, Mohd. Zunnurain Haji Zaini's graduation on the 10th of December 2008 at University of Queensland due to his achievement in Multimedia Design. CONGRATUALTIONS. Jangan LADIS-LADIS (inside joke...HAHA). Another memorable day I could say was the day we went to the Art Musuem which Hamdi insisted in going. It wasn't 'THAT' bad, it would've been better if we went to the Scientific Museum but oh well... I could say that on the 15th December would be 'a day well spent', we went to the LONE PINE KOALA SANCTUARY where we saw, touched, fed, took photos with as well as SMELT smelly animals. Some of the animals will be shown below, so enjoy:

and there's plenty more...

That late evening, we went down to Gold Coast, a tourist attraction. We ate at this Malaysian restaurant, we had the KING CRAB~ Seriously HUGE! A meal that I would say, as a 'never could be forgotten' dish, (there's a story behind it) just simply crazy but in the end, I guess it was all worth-it.

Tonight, my last day being here, I can honestly say it is/was definitely a memorable experience, another chapter to be added in the book of 'life'. I'd have to say thousands of Thank yous to Mummy and Babah for letting me go, Amit and Pamit for inviting me over and taking good care of me, for everything of course, (providing us food, shelter as well as showing us a good time). It surely is something I appreciate. Thank youuu...Thank you...and Thank you...

At times, days just seem longer but now it's time to go home. The 10 days are over, no more waking up fighting for the toilet to take a bath first, 'who's things are these?' questions to hear, seeing Hamdi's tummy bouncing as he constantly flashes it to us, seeing it jiggle up and down (and all those things his tummy can do. HAHA), no more late night movies we watch just to make us fall asleep, no more waiting on bus stops and making fun of the woman standing next to us just because she's on the phone and talking as if the other person on the other line was deaf. HAHA)...just all these little things we do is something memorable.

I end this, Finally making a post after such a long time of being in Hiatus. Congratulations to Abg Zun, thank you to the loving parents and we'll be seeing everyone later this evening. We'll be flying off around noon so, i'm signing off now. It's around 3am here and we're watching "Saw V" soo... good night and sweet dreams!

Love,
Fifah.
