Putrajaya Walk 081209 007

Most tourists only see the front view of the Masjid Putra.They don't have the time to go around it.For a local like me,I love to walk around around it and savour its beauty..

Many a time, the front part looks nicer than the back part.The back portion gets lesser attention to be cleaned more regularly and properly maintained.Similarly with life.

By the way,I took this shot as my wife and me taking a morning walk here yesterday.I love the view!

It's been a while since I've had such a busy weekend. Every day something new to pack or buy... or receive. I've finished packing up all of my essentials now and have been counting up the kilos (of my checked baggage, mind you :P) and going shopping for travel-sized bottles, vac-seal bags and some bits and bobs so basically I'm all set for my trip to London tomorrow.

Last Friday I went to the Community farm again - though it rained all day I still had an awesome time. I fed the animals this time and boy were they happy to see me... and the little paper bag of treats in my hand. Rabbits and Guinea pigs/hamsters are so adorable; and their fur is soooo soft... Sheep and goats are very greedy... But they are so cute it's really difficult to tell them off. I fed a cow too - she licked my hand and oh my goodness that tickled me to bits! There was slobber everywhere! I had to stop there and then, because I couldn't stop laughing from the tickling. I really enjoyed myself. Click on the photo below to look at more pictures at the farm:

During the evening I decorated a door plaque for Naomi's horse, Ruby. She really loved my design... I did too - funnily enough... it was the first time I'd done something like that. I don't know if I did good... I think I did... For a beginner anyway. I should put these pictures in my CV:

Ruby Stuff

The next day I went to Cardiff again to pick up a hard-case for my guitar and to make an exchange on one of my previous purchases. I received quite a lot of presents that day and I must say I did feel very indulged... The first gift, or should I say gifts; since they were given together, were a retro Space Hopper and a Swatch from Nana, then Jay bought me a Sony DCR-SX30 in Cardiff and later that night I received a book from Naomi! Aww... thank you so much! I really don't know how I can repay you for all this...

And as if all of that wasn't enough... we also had a meal at Tenkaichi... my favourite place in Cardiff... Ahh the good times....

The Last Supper

I am leaving tomorrow and I don't know if I'm ever coming back again to study here in the UK but I do know this: this country will always have a special place in my heart.

..But I can leave the country now... My personal tutor went through the first two chapters of my second draft and she was pleased with the improvements however she suggested that I finish the rest of the work in Brunei because she doesn't want me to rush the dissertation... I wouldn't want to either, seeing that I actually work better under calmer situations (I don't really know many people who can work under pressure, really).

So I spent the last week, after seeing my lecturer, shopping for presents for my family and all the essentials before going back home. Yesterday I spent the whole day in Cardiff with my boyfriend Jay; we went inside St. David's 2; that place is HUGE, well... huge for Cardiff anyway... and it so reminded me of the BullRing - Hey Mel! I found something that my little sister asked me to give; and two things I think my brother would like. The place was pretty busy.... including Borders, which was closing down. A shame really, I liked that place. Well to be honest, I didn't shop for much... And I don't think it would've been good for me to buy so much either - mostly because my suitcase is already quite full (even after pulling up the extension bit).

Which reminds me... what should I do with this blog if I don't get to study in the UK anymore? Should I change the name? Or should I just leave it as it is and make a new one? I haven't really decided yet. It's always good to try something new - but then again, I'm a nostalgic type who likes to cling to old memories. Happy memories though.

Never mind... I'll come up with a decision soon (and yes... I can hear you snickering Mel :P)

Since I moved to Bangi more than a month ago, this is my new destination for nasi padang-tasty and not expensive.I can eat almost what I wanted for less than RM10(plus drink).In term of management,it is the same as Rasa at KLCC Suria.

By the way, on weekends,this place is packed with people.I think I may not be wrong that most Malaysians don't cook breakfast or dinners on weekends;-)
