Holidays are near...

Last Sunday , I had my first "mini" Raya open house in my flat in London....

There was a different feeling this year in the open house compared to last year....
Firstly, my lil sis is not here this year and secondly we had more space in our place in Slough last year....
This year was limited in space but with Kak Rahayu interior design help we managed to accomodate everyone hehehehe....
Thanks to everyone who came..... :)

So now raya is finally over and everyone in UK are looking forward to the Xmas period...
I will be spending the Xmas hols and New Year's in Roma and visiting Naples this year...booked tickets online with Ryanair for 45GBP return...bargain!!!!

Last time I went to Italy was with my family about ten years ago when we did a Europe road trip...so it's been a while....
And this will be my first holiday for three years since holidays have been taken up by study leave and exams thse last few years....*sigh*
So I'm really looking forward to this Italy break....especially since I'm dreading my exam results coming out before Xmas so at least this is something to look forward to drown my sorrows and disappointments...(Apologies for the depressing tone guys)....

This week is pay day so Viv, K Rahayu and I are going on a shopping trip to Bicester this weekend.....
I'm hoping to get some good bargains....... :)


Laters......

Sport updates......

This week's blog has a sports theme to it...

Last Sat, I went to my first Notts Games...throughout my whole uni life I've never actually been to the Notts games. So it was a bit strange to go when most of the people there are at least 5 years younger than me...
I was supporting the Seven Kings crew from London....the weather was good and met people I haven't seen in a while......unfortunately the team didn't do so well..hard luck guys...better luck next year!



Last Wednesday I went to my first English football game. I'm a Liverpool fan but since Liverpool is too far away and difficult to get tickets......went to the Carling Cup Chelsea vs Aston Villa game at Stamford Bridge.
I left straight from work travelling from up north in Elstree so was tired but excited to see a live match....we got seats facing the middle pitch so it was a good spot to see all the players.
My fav Chelsea players are Shevchenko ( so comel! ), Lampard and Joe Cole.
Chelsea played well...Aston Villa were outclassed that night...the final score was 4-0 so Chelsea have cruised through the last 16..So have Liverpool! Yeay!!!

I would love to go to a Liverpool match so if there are any spare tickets out there contact me kay! :)

Lastly, the Ashes series is coming in a week's time...I hope English team can reproduce their performance from the Summer Ashes series last year......
I want Sky Sports so I can follow the cricket...but I think I will have to make do with Channel 5's daily cricket summary updates.

I have also updated my pics thanks to my photographer Ms Shameem ..hehehehe....click on the My Photo Albums link. :)

Waiting game

Exam is over and the waiting game starts..not feeling too confident with the final case study. People who have gone through the ICAS case study will know that the key to passing it is luck on the day, enough time off to spend time to practice case study techniques and hoping the examination marker is kind and lenient when marking your paper.
I don't think I have either of these but I can only hope now... I have another two attempts at this...but after three years of slaving away in audit work I can only wonder how long I can cope with it...
Might have to rethink a change of career but who knows.......


I have four weeks until results come out so thinking of ways to keep my mind off it. I was intending to go to Rome but I had to postpone it cuz I left booking tickets too late...might go in December instead.

I'm intending to go back home in July...my two good uni mates will be getting married..so I have two weddings to attend to....looking forward to it... :)
It's a weird feeling that friends back home are gradually settling down...I think when we're in London we're all sorta of in a time warp whereby time kinda stops...it's only when u go home that u realise people are moving on to settling down, starting a family etc etc....I'm hoping my time will come soon!!! Insya-allah.... :)

On to other things...I asked my bro to pass me his dvd prison break season 1 dvd set and started watching it last month and been addicted since.......
For those who haven't seen it....i ask u why not???!!! It's wicked....genius script and Michael Schofield is sooo cute!!!! The series is a bit of action, mystery and romance...
Season 2 is halfway through so I'm waiting for the next dvd set... yeay!!!!
If anyone dah copy let me know yah!!!!!
