Hanging Still...

Helo helo...!

Yup, aku masih di sini... It's Friday afternoon, and I'm still working hard at the lab hehe.. Miraculously, while a part of my brain is already being consumed by the festivities of it all, my other half of the brain is still working and even excited utk siapkan this one piece of work before the end of today. Judging by my trusted YM friends' list, I gather that most people in Malaysia have already gone back to hometown, or at least have taken Friday off from work. Raya is so around the corner! You can feel it in the air, even in Plymouth!

Nak update sket aje la, nak bgtau perkembangan Aisyah. Alhamdulillah, she is feeling a lot better, tp still ada hingus and needs the odd CalRub rubbing on her chest and back at night. Kali ni dia punya la x suka mkn Calpol, susah sgt, compared to the last time mcm langit dgn bumi - dulu sampai tahap nak minum sebotol pon bole agaknya. Ntah la, budak2 ni, sekejap aje selera nya bertukar. Apa2 lah....

Jap lg nak gi amik Aisyah daripada Ayah dia sementara Hubs nak gi Solat Jumaat. Harus remind Hubs utk byr Zakat Fitrah. Sini rate dia GBP 4 sorg. So 3 kepala GBP 12 lah. Not bad. Hopefully, the wind x menjadikan selsema nya lebih teruk. The weather is slowly changing. Autumn is creeping in. Angin laut dah mula kuat. Pokok2 pon mula kuning sket2 daun dia. And yet we are all still clinging to the last bit of Summer yg masih ada.

Kat lab ni org masih penuh. Tiada sapa pon menyambut Aidilfitri, so pada mereka it's just another Friday. Selain berhenti memblogging kejap, aku tgh troubleshoot apasal la webcam aku x jalan ni *panik!* X tau ke org nak video conferencing masa raya nnt, masa ni plak nak wat hal. Cukup2 la org serata UK ni yg demam sbb pertukaran cuaca dah, webcam pon ikut nak sakit sama kah. Hiii.... Doa2 kan la benda ni work after this.

Anyway, kat luar sedikit bising, sbb Freshers dah masuk (OMG, is it the last week of Sept already? Come October dah nak masuk 1 year aku di sini!). Kurg syok sket la, sbb dah jd sesak dah Uni, (toilet pon penuh nak amik wudhu kena tgk2 n budget x de org masuk baru leh basuh kaki dlm sinki hehe). Plak tu ada aktiviti apa ntah tgh berkompang betul2 kat court yard dpn bangunan aku. Acah je, bkn la berkompang tp ntah la apa aktiviti diorg, mcm bergendang2 plak kat luar tu. Sakit kepala aku mendgr nya. Even pasang lagu raya kuat2 kat headphone pon x dpt menangkis bunyi yg annoying tu.

Tp x pe la, faham... Masa ni la budak2 baru masuk nak have a little fun mengenali Uni kan? Teringat zaman I muda remaja and how fun it was jadi Fasilitator and organized loads of activities n ragging (just kidding) budak2 baru. I can really say it was the best time of my life la --- pre-marriage la kan, of course. X leh la nak lawan after-marriage, what with the wedding, the pregnancy, the childbirth apa semua.

Ok, ok, melalut. Nak bgtau we are doing fine and trying to be strong la this raya. We thank all your wishes and prayers baru2 ni. Di Plymouth ni, aku agak la, the celebration will be minimalistic as far as raya is concernedd, kalo nak compare ngan area2 di UK yg ramai Melayu lainnya, spt Nottingham ke, Manchester ke, Bristol ke. Hopefully, raya is still raya la... Sedih la plak kalo it's not any different than any other days.... *closing eyes real hard and praying*

Oh ya, mlm ni rakyat Melayu Plymouth akan makan2 di Restoran Al-Busyar. Katanya, utk diskas2 arrangement hari raya ni, umah sapa, bila, apa, etc... Sadly, aku sefamily x ikut kot, bcoz it's a bit too late for strolling and berembun to the said restaurant in the cold autumn night. Biar lah yg rakyat2 di umah aku kurg sihat itu recuperate kat rumah dulu. Hopefully, by the time Aidilfitri is here, they will all be 100% sihat and ceria. Don't want to risk it :)

Ok la, keep checking this area out. I won't be off just for raya. Maybe even updating more often sbb x de keja / places utk ziarah this raya T_T. Later!
