Cupcakes

Good morning! It's Saturday and I've decided to spend it in the library... Mostly because they have internet connection here haha. and also I really need to start researching for my assignments... (Not fun). I'm into my third week here in Macquarie. So far I think I'm okay...I'm quite enjoying all my classes...Starting to make new friends, starting to get used to life here, and slowly (very slowly) falling in love with this place I guess.
The new place is starting to really feel like home. I can't wait to get a washing machine and for our TV to arrive. So far only the kitchen and our rooms are quite complete... the living room is still pretty much empty but that's alright. I love the house anyways.
Oh the surprise that I arranged for him went as planned. It's nothing big... I ordered customised lego cupcakes to be delivered to him... (because I know how much he loves lego and I just thought I'd do something special for him...no special occassion...) I asked my sister in law if she knows anyone who does customised cakes and deliver them as well...and she suggested Sugarcandy by TengkuAlianna. So I texted Alianna and she said she could do that for me...and on Friday, he was surprised to receive this:
I specifically asked that one of the cupcakes has his initials, AJ. I was hoping that there were more colors for the lego blocks but oh well. I'm quite happy that she could do this in such short notice (plus to deliver it as well even though she doesn't really do deliveries).

It was quite hard not to be excited... I didn't have any classes on Friday so I went to the library to do some work. At around 5 pm the internet connection was being mengada so I decided to go home. On my way out of the library, I saw Jo on level 3 reading Rebecca so I decided to say Hi to her. I sat and talked to her for a bit when I received a text from him...


I pretended not to know anything but I guess Tengku Alianna told him who the sender was. Anyway, I'm really happy that I could make him smile... And quite bersyukur that everything went as planned. The cute thing about yesterday was that he was actually angry at me before he received the cupcakes because of the pendrive that I lost (it was a gift from him). I was terasa with what he said (even though I know it was my fault for losing it) so I told him I wanted to do some work and that I would talk to him later. He tried to pujuk? I guess by changing the topic...he said sorry if he sounded angry, maybe he was just hungry. I replied with a smiley and continued with my work.

It was after Jumaat prayers that I received his text above. :) He later said that he felt guilty for getting angry at me before. Haha so I guess he did notice that I wasn't OK. Decided to put everything behind and everything was okay again.

Awak, hope you like the cupcakes. ;)

Home soon.

In two days, I'll be going home for good and I am actually feeling quite sad. It's quite funny because when I came here 10 months ago, I did not like this place at all. It's expensive, it's hard to get around, and I kept comparing it with Wellington and how I wished I was in Wellington instead of Sydney. But slowly, I grew to like living here but now I have to come home. Oh well, that's life I guess. Maybe in the future ada rezeki I get to go somewhere else? InshaaAllah.  I'm so not looking forward to go back to work haha. Can I just be a student forever please?

Hypnobirthing

When I first found out I was pregnant, one of the first people I told was a colleague here in UniKL. Her name is Dr. A. I knew her because we had to attend a meeting together at one of the institutes. We were talking about random stuff when I suddenly told her about my pregnancy (I have no idea why I told her). She told me how much she loves the process of being pregnant and urged me to find out about Hypnobirthing/Gentlebirthing. She then told me how she made the decision to give birth to her second child using HVBAC - Home Vaginal Birth After Caesarian (read her story here: My HBVAC Hypnobirth Story   One of the reasons she made this decision was because of her traumatic first child birth experience. She, however, stressed the importance of being well informed about the process of childbirth etc. Anyway, a few days later she emailed me two e-books on gentle birthing and told me that I must read it!  I recently got around to start reading the books she emailed me (Th...

Alhamdulillah

Just a quick post- I just received back my marks for two of my units. Alhamdulillah, I think I did pretty well. I managed to get a Distinction (which is equivalent to an A grade) for Sociology and Education, which is still a huge surprise for me because I sucked at Sociology during my Alevel years (not even kidding, I used to get Cs all the time and my final result for Sociology for Alevels was also a C). Alhamdulillah a Distiction is more than I had expected so I'm very happy! I was actually very worried about this particular unit because the context is very Australian. All my assignments had to do with the Australian education system so I had to learn it from scratch. The unit also only had three on-campus classes and most of the time we had to do a lot of independent learning and listen to online lectures. Anyway, Alhamdulillah I am glad it is over and I did well. As for the other unit (Advanced Pedagogy), I only got a Credit for it (equivalent to a B) but I am st...
