Ahli Lab Sudah Mula Balik Kampung

Td dpt kad Xmas yg pertama daripada rakan lab yg akan bertolak balik kampung dia kat Germany esok. Bab2 kad ni, payah sket la, sbb ada pendapat kata berdosa kalo bg and wish Merry Xmas, sbb mcm approve kan agama org kafir. Tp kalo x balas kang, mmg anti-social, and silap2 org kafir pandang serong plak dkt org Islam sbb hina sambutan dia.

Jalan tgh aku ambik ialah bg kad 'Happy Holidays', or 'Happy New Year', or 'Seasons Greeting'. Tp ada catch dia la. Kad2 khas sebegini mahal, semuanya berharga lebih drpd GBP1 sekeping, berbanding kad Xmas beli bundle GBP1 sekotak dpt 40 kpg pon ada. Masak la nak beli utk semua pakai kad non-Xmas. SV dan co-SV dah sah kena bg, lg nak balas yg org2 dah bg. Tahun lps I survived la, sbb nya beli dalam 5 kpg je. Ala, baru sampai... bkn kenal sapa2 sgt pon... Skang? Dah tahun dua (cheh cheh, masih nak gloat x padan report 1st year x siap lg tu uwekkk), people that I know and have made friends with pon bertambah, so lain la plak cerita nya. Tgk la mcm mana nnt...

Kalo nak beli kena beli cpt jg, sbb 18hb ni plak Anna akan balik Italy. 20hb plak si Leo yg dah selamat bergelar Doktor Falsafah itu akan bungkus balik Brazil for good. Lab dah semakin sunyi. Hari ni sorg lagi dah bertolak balik, Peter balik ke Austria, x padan tahun satu, awal gila babeng amik cuti ko ye? Aku dah 3 kali beraya sekali pon x pernah balik tau... Huh ... ---> nada org tahun dua yg teramat jaki :P

Nanti akan tggal aku and Al je kot dlm lab. Hubs tanya, 'Al x balik raya ke?'. Jawab aku, 'X, sbb Al org Plymouth.' Hehe... kalo x, mau nya tggal aku sorg2 la kat sini hehe..

Aku? Konfem duk lab la. Makin busy ada. Anyway, ni catatan utk diri sendiri supaya aku x lupa. Malas nak tulis dlm planner dah sbb dah nak akhir tahun kan. Can't wait to get my hands on a new one hehe...

So far itu la yg ada, tiba2 je agenda mcm penuh. Ni lg smgt nak beli planner for new year. Actually I never lived without a planner, dari masa buat O Levels dulu2 lg. How else are you going to remember everything kan? (Jgn insert some fancy software tool yg bole ganti buku planner -- I for one, am very old skool). Pastu sepjg zaman degree, never lived without. Same goes utk masa MSc. So I need a new one now. Dah scout2 dah, and yg paling berkenan di hati ialah a boring, black, faux leather cover A5 Filofax from Ryman, at GBP7.99. Not bad. Believe me I've checked almost all types that there is, the cute ones, the sarcastic ones, the kiddie ones, the sexy ones, the funny ones, the I'm-a-superMom ones, and even the crude ones too, tp satu pon x melekat di hati. Yg praktikal itu la jg menjadi pojaan hati ku... Adoi la...

Yg buat benda tu best is because dia A5 in size, an inch thick, tp luas ruang tulis (satu A5 sheet a day). And ada slot2 ikut hours, and 3 extra slots for side notes. Usually, I would put down in those side notes: (1) Things to Do / Places to Go (i.e. Post surat / Post Office), (2) Things to Buy, and (3) What's For Dinner ---> yg ni lps dah duduk UK baru add hehe. Masa duk Msia x pernah pikir :P

Ok la, byk dah membebel. Sbnarnya nak cerita psl outing ngan Aisyah n Hubs sekejap sat ni, tp nya tertinggal kamera ngan Hubs, so esok2 la entry yg tu. Nak solat Maghrib then sambung tulis report. Doakan smg siap report ni, it's already Thursday evening people!!!!!!! *panic! panic!*
