One week to raya..2 weeks to exam

Yeay yeay raya is near........I've just come off the phone with my family who were about to buka puasa and having the "raya blues syndrome".....:(

Ramadhan is nearly over.....this month has flown by...the first week of puasa I was on an outstation job..luckily my colleague was also fasting so we could buka puasa together.

Last weekend, went for a weekend trip with Meem and Bobby to Leeds and stayed at Abang Nas's family house. We wanted to check out Cheshire Oaks factory outlet store near Manchester.
I'm not a big shopper but I do like a good bargain when I see one. Cheshire Oaks is cool! It's one of the McArthur Glen Designer Outlet stores which you can find all over UK but Cheshire Oaks branch is one of the biggest ones I've seen. It's mostly high street shops ranging from Gap, Oasis, La Senza , Nike , Puma , TM Lewin, FCUK, NEXT and many others......
All of us managed to do some bargain shopping......as it was Sunday the shops closed early at five.. so we didn't get to cover all of the shops...may have to do a return trip...need to start saving some more shopping cash hehehe

We decided to buka puasa in Manchester. I haven't been to Manchester before so didnt really know what to expect. We decided to check out this Malaysian restaurant called Jati...it was like Malaysian hall but it turned out to be quite disappointing.....
Service was slow and food was disappointing considering the price we had to pay.......I think if they had better management the place would be a profitable place.....

It is now the third week of puasa......and my exam is in two weeks ..aaarghhh a week after raya! I have been revising for it but this case study paper is different from any other exam paper I've come across....it's not a highly technical paper so the only way u can revise is by getting ur planning technique right. I haven't been able to get time off from work before the exam but insya-allah a few days before the exam will help get me focused.

I still can't believe it will be raya end of next week...It's another raya for me in London..I wish I could be back home for raya but it's not meant to be...So those of u who are back home spare a thought for us in London who are celebrating yet another raya di rantau orang.....


Wishing all of u Selamat Hari Raya & Maaf Zahir Batin if ade tersilap cakap or any wrongdoings I may have caused u............
