Kaput ler....

Less than a year left for us to stay here in down under.... lots of our things went kaput on us.... adoi ler, among those:
  1. our fridge - few mths back.... luckily it's easy to buy 2nd hands goods here... so just buy Quokka (papers that list all the 2nd hands items) n ring the seller... if the thing is gud buy it if not....
  2. our car - luckily we got the 2nd car... but it needs to be repaired shortly cos it'll be winter soon n our 2nd car doesn't have heater....
  3. our microwave - susah tak der microwave nih.... luckily the problem fix... had the 2nd hand replacement
  4. my lappy - maybe i need to change to the new hardisk.... ye lah nearly 4 yrs i'm using it n this is the first time it had a problem.... luckily (luckily lg hehehehe....) Peter (my SV) lend me his old lappy when i request that from him, for me to use at home.... sib baik...

What else huh..... hopefully no more ler after this.... n all that relates to $$$$$$.... so need to do/repair one at a time.... dah ler i'm no longer on scholarships.... when we talking bout all the things went kaput one by one.... hubby said....'tu ler suppose 3 1/2 yrs jer kat sini, so sume brg2 tu dah do their best'.... ops sy lg yg kena.... adoi lah....

why?

I have to finish my thesis,
but why I can't focus,
I have my deadlines,
but why I can't stick to it,
I have my timelines,
but why I can't be bothered,
oh why?...why?...why?...
grrrrrr........

In the headlines

Apart from the commonwealth games, in the headlines of all medias in Oz at the moment is about the Cyclone Larry that hit part of the Queensland..... the area that thumped by Larry is the major growing areas for bananas here in Oz.... so it was predicted that the price of bananas per kg will be skyrocketing up to 7 dollar somethin.... even now pun the price in the market dah 4 doller somethin', whereas before dis the price is in between 1 to 3 dollar/kg.... dah ler aliff mmg suka banana for his lunch box... so need to switch to orange lah kot since lately he seems likes the orange... hopefully all involved with larry will recovered soon....

Now tgh fenin sungguh ngan data analysis, tadi jumpa SV lg.... biasa ler during the meeting when he explained.... cam faham jer then bila discuss ngan member fenin balik... hmmm cam dah boring jer.... opsss... where's my FOCUS!!!!........ sigh...

Commanwealth

Now it's all about commonwealth games here in Oz... n till now they still leading the games... kat kampung diaorg lg lah plak kan.... but the support that they get from their people are tremendous.... every places where the games held... full with supporters... cayalah... tak keja ker diaorg ahaks....

But the feeling of me when I saw Malaysian competes, and with me now staying outside of the country.... hmmm fill in with the feeling of proud n excitement especially when we in the final round... like the other nights when Hidayat tried to put himself for the gold medal n he contended with the Oz guy... lg ler....

So we'll see in few days time... our beloved country in which places.... hmmmmm

One happy boy....

Yesterday Aliff received his overdue birthday gift from Ani (my mak angkat daughter).... of course he's more than happy with the gift n he don't even bothered to go next door (normally when we get to makcik's house he'll stay for a while n then asked to go next door to k idah's house, to play games with k idah's son)... why? cos he get a Nintendo DH complete set games from Ani.... actually he's been asking for this for quite some times... tp mn blh dah ada PS2 kan.... so mmg happy sakan ler dia....

Last night he doesn't have a chance to play with it.. cos it need to be charged.... supposed he can't play games on school days... tp kesian plak cos baru dpt kan... dia pun cam excited smcm jer, so pagi td tu ler yg di pegangnya... he asked to bring it to school for news... n i told him that he can't bring that to school but he can bring his pix with the Nintendo... so sibuk ler asked ibu to snap his pix then asked me where is the pix... laaa tak sabo2....

hmmm blh ler ibu tumpang main sekaki... since the console only comes with mario games... blh carik games yg more interesting hehehehe...

the series

After so many times during my bloghopping i've stumbled about this shopaholic series by sophie kinsella, so yesterday after picking up aliff from school we went to the public library nearby my house cos i need to return some books and dvd borrowed before.

At the library I searched for the author, and there is 6 items under her name.... all in all got 5 book titles.... unfortunately it's all on loan and 1 on reserved. Hmmm so maybe it's true enough that this series is fun n good to read. So I reserved 2 book. Kerja bertimbun sempat ker nak baca hehehehe... entah ler.... maybe dis is the book that my lil sis told me is very fun, easy n good, why?....cos she can finish reading it albeit it's in english.

Well we'll see.... till then..........

Time to lift

I so loved this song.... performed by 1st runner up Aussie Idol 1st season.... the lyrics a lil bit motivate.... so it's really time to lift everythin' up.....
"Lift"
by: Shannon Noll
I know you're hurting
Feels like you're learning
'Bout life the hard way
And it ain't working
Seems like forever
That you've been falling
It's time to move on
You're life is calling, yeah
This was never meant to be the end
Close the book and start again
[CHORUS]
Cause I know how hard it can get
But you gotta lift
You gotta lift
And sometimes that's how it is
But I know you're stronger
Stronger than this
You gotta liftYou gotta lift
When you can feel your
Whole body's aching
What's left of your heart
It won't stop breaking
You gotta let go
You took a hit
Time to pick up now
Move on from this
This was never meant to be the end
Close the book and start again
[CHORUS]
Cause I know how hard it can get
But you gotta lift
You gotta lift
And sometimes that's how it is
But I know you're stronger
Stronger than this
You gotta
Lift yourself up above all the hurt
Don't give it
Wipe your eyes and remember
You're better than this
Let them know
That they took their best shot
And missed
C'mon and lift
This was never meant to be the end
Close the book and start again
[CHORUS]
Cause I know how hard it can get
But you gotta lift
You gotta lift
And sometimes that's how it is
But I know you're stronger
Stronger than this
You gotta lift
You gotta lift
Pick up now...
Pick up now...

the difference

I read Utusan few days back.. n there's a story bout our politicians being urged to change their lifesytle (example given in the paper: berbelanja besar n melancong ke luar negara) as well due to the increasing in the fuel prices... heheheheh lawaknya kan.... and i remembered when flipping around malay's magazine few mths back.... gaya mak2 datin in their matching ferragamo shoes n bags...... but honestly speaking i can see the difference with the politicians here in WA....

Early this year if i'm not mistaken... there's a headline in the newspaper here about one of the female minister wearing a designer handbag (Channel rasanya)... n people dok argue maybe the minister's wages are too much kot that's why she can afford expensive handbags... can u imagine... she's not minister's wifey but she herself a minister.... lawak kan... n WA just appointed a new premier... when the press interviewed him at his home.... i asked hubby...'eh camtu jer umah dia....' tp tu ler the difference that i can see with the politicians here n back home.... kat sini menteri 'keja' tuk rakyat... entah ler....

Ops time to go... till then....

cite wiken....

Actually we planned to go for crabbing and camping as well yesterday, but since the weather is too hot (nearly 40 degrees) the trip was cancelled. So yesterday I justwent out for a swimming with my two frens. After isyak, hubby's turn went out for fishingwith his fren. Camtu ler kat sini, day in and day out..... klu tak de plan apa2 with frens... lepak kat rumah jer lah.

Ptg tadi sempat bawak the kids to Bunnings (kedai jual hardware, garden tools etc) I just got to know that during weekend they had a special workshop for kids.... n guess what, it's for FREE... hari nie depa buat tool box... seronok ler Aliff n Aisyah td dpt main ngan hammer n nails segala... nie bkn yg olok2 tau but the real one ler.... maybe that's part of the shop's community service kot.... hubby went for fishing nie.... he did ask me to go for a fishing... malas ler plak nak ikut....

Hmmm nak buat 'neng' tuk cik kak tu.... dah merengek2 tu..... bila nak neng dia mulalah cakap ...'i'm a little girl'....'see..my leg is too small' (sambil dok compare her feet to mine....ada ka camtu).... k lah next time mengomel lg.....

Somethin' to share

While browsing around today, I got to know about this book. Then I googled and found this link
http://www.cs.umb.edu/~eb/joan/diss15/index.html
Luckily my uni library have a copy of the book, however it was held in one of Curtin's campus. So I need to wait for 3/4 days to pick up the book from the main campus lib. If it's good as claimed, I might get my own copy.

So my fellow frens who's in the same boat... do check out ya.
And hopefully with the guidance/motivation from the book I can finish on the dot.......
