My £5 Photobook

✼  ✼  ✼  ✼  ✼  ✼  ✼  ✼  ✼  ✼  ✼  ✼

Bought a 80% discount coupon for albelli photobook from groupon d(⌒o⌒)b  

So instead of the original prices of £25, I only have to pay £5! 

Huge bargain no? ♥ ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ

Here's the photo book product I received (21cm x 21cm). 

The cover looks pretty plain and simple but it's made of high-quality linen, so its good :P 

The quality of the photo printed is pretty good too. 

I get to put as much photo as I want into a total of 24 pages :) 

Except for the Japan photos, the others were all taken in 2010.

Pretty awesome yes? ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ

Super rare event - Chatted with Zai 2 times this week! ♥

Unbelievable╭(⫪∀⫪;)╮She's usually too busy with her med studies, plus our time difference are, like, freakin' HUGE!

♥ Lots of love ♥

Let me tell you a story..

When my family were away to study in uk at my very young age,

my grandparents took care of me in Brunei. 

As a result, I got really attached to my mum's side of the family and kept on staying over at their place in Jerudong.  

 I used to follow my grandparents everywhere and listened to their stories. 

My grandfather had a lot of things to tell about his life. They were always so interesting.  I especially love listening to his childhood stories, life was really hard during his time. 

Back then, my world seemed to be timeless. 

At times I would spent all day sitting on my grandparent's verandah.. 

and stare into the distant field. 

And then I started to daydream....

that I would be there, walking through that long grass field.

Then I saw a boy.

It was my grandfather, as a child. 

  I went back in time...

And so I approached him.

We became best of friends. 

I showed him the latest gadgets I had, and he was so amazed. 

That time there were no such things.   

At the end of the day, I told him that, 

"Im actually your granddaughter who came from the future!

One day you will become an amazing grandfather!"

I don't remember what was his reaction. 

But one thing for sure, I knew it was something I longed for. 

I loved my grandfather so much to the point I wished we were the same age.

I would imagine about our meeting over and over again. 

Til now...

Everytime I look at the distant field, I would still remember.

..as if it really happened in the past. 

My grandfather, Haji Noorkhan... 

passed away yesterday morning.

I am devastated cause I am here in Aberdeen :'( But it is his time to go.

Semoga Allah mencucuri rahmat keatas roh Nini. Amin. 

I looked into the sky and remember all the great memories..

Funny enough, the grass field was the first thing that popped up in my mind.

I love you always Nini Jerudong. 

Playing with slow shutter speed

Before I start, I would like to make special greetings to my two youngest brother and sister.

Their birthdays are 3 weeks apart actually :P so Im doing for both in one go.

All the best, may Allah bless you both. Study hard ahh.

Lots of love. o(^▽^)o☆彡

╰(◉ω◉)╯～♪

Like some other nights, 

I would spent some time with my flatmates in the living room with our laptops. 

Since we all use macbooks, 

I thought that it would be cool to take a picture. 

"Awesome" ╰( ≥ ∀ ≤ )╯

Shall we take another one? Okay

But then, I accidentally switched the camera into a slow shutter speed mode.

and this is the outcome. ╰(￣Д￣;)╮

Nano was like ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ"so cool, lets take more photos with that mode" 

and so...

We spent the night taking slow shutter speed shots.

Light source? Iphone. ヽ(◉ ∀ ◉)ノ

Atleast we found it somewhat amusing. ヽ(◠ ∀ ◠)ノ

♥ The end ♥

I'm not ready to go back!

I'm flying back to Aberdeen tonight T_T

Owh how I'm going to miss home~...

Sorry for not updating my blog much nowadays. It's just that I don't wanna miss any opportunity I have with my family and friends. If I get to blog about it, there's definitely loads.. but nyehhh.

Do you know that I've changed my look again?

Not liking it much, I look very naughty!

I guess this will be the last time I colour and curled my hair :P 

  

Raya - with Love

The annual family photo

Great family gathering

...and amazingly-delicious festive food

Me and my ugly face

Had fever for a few days, Alhamdulillah Im feeling better now.

But a problem is still there.. 

Giant pimples! Arrggghh

I haven't met many of my friends ever since I arrived home. Either that im busy or I just don't feel like it.

Come on, I can't even stand looking at myself in the mirror at the moment!

Im very self-cautious now. Everytime I talked with people, it felt like they were just staring at my pimples! 

I even prayed hoping that I wont encounter anyone who knows me everytime I go out........Well, that already happened by the way. 

It doesn't feel nice at all = =

What do you usually do when this happens?

(or it never happen to you at all.. = =)

Yes, I tried to cover it with makeup and concealer, but it doesn't work!

 SO big and SO red! (LOL)

Its amazing how pimples can affect my self-esteem.

Im going to Sandakan in Sabah Malaysia in an hour. 

Let me post a recent picture that put a smile on my face :P

My li'l cousin, Alai Nor using a torchlight to play with the cats ^^

17 hours in London Heathrow Airport

I flew from Aberdeen in the afternoon and reach London at 5pm.

Saw a magnificent view of Aberdeen from the plane.

Then I meet up with my good friend Zoel at Terminal 4.

Zoel and I have been friends since high school (^_^) let's say we clicked because of our drawing interest.

There's not much to see in Terminal 4, and we didn't bother to go out into London.

We just hungout and did every random things we could before Sungkai (fast break).

Random things such as writing postcards, drawing, colouring, teasing and of course, chatting. 

Writing a postcard especially for someone *wink*

Then it's Sungkai dinner time! (Around 8.30pm I think)

 Around 2am..

If you're asking whether it was comfortable... Ugh, what do you think?
The thing is - I slept through the whole night! 
I mean the reason why I didn't plan to go out and stay in Brunei Hall is because I prefer spending the night hanging out with my friend! 
But I ended up leaving Zoel alone taking care of my stuffs while I was asleep T_T I tried to stay awake everytime I woke up, but I fell back asleep! 
I mean Zoel came the whole way to accompany me bahh (of course I paid for his transport),  Im so sorry Zoel~ T_T


Zoel woke me up like 7.20am in the morning to make sure I check in for my 9.40am flight. I then realised he didn't sleep at all! So I asked him to sleep while I queue to check in.
When I came back, he was really sleeping.

It must have been a boring lonely night for you T_T Im glad you brought your laptop, but this was not what we planned right?! 
Ahhhhhh
Although you look so ganas and mentel, I think you're one of the sweetest guy I've ever known :') 
Bah girls? Anyone interested? :P Go ahead! He's single and available! ;) *wink wink*


 I am very grateful Zoel!

Then, the 16hours flight. 
Arrived home in Brunei 10am in the morning. 
Home Sweet Home ^_^

Finally be able to meet my lovely family!...Except for my other younger sister Yana, who just enrolled in Lim Kok Wing University in Kuala Lumpur. 


Happy happy ending.


To end this post, 
Here's photo of my two youngest sibblings... yang perasan kiut berabez. (@o@) *puke*

You must be wondering why my li'l sister wore her tudong and I didnt. :P
*Blushes* I should practice it now that its Ramadhan.
