Oh my beloved Garden

Ever enchanting...

I was SOooooOOOooooooOOoo HAPPY to be able to be in iium again!? I jumped at kak Gie's invitation to visit her there. Tho' I've never drove there myself, I was willing to go there at the same time experimented with my fon's GPS. I was quite happy with it. It was a long drive.

We spent time doing work at the library, shopped at the bazaar in front of the mosque, solat at the mosque (i soOOo miss this :"| ) , ate at engineering, education and HS depts... did i mention i slept there? no, i did not ;p

I'm in it again!

Sweet Chat's

Midvalley's food court

Fried Broccoli Flower

Stir-fry pucuk paku & Fatoosh

We also went out together to Jusco in Wangsa Maju ;p & spent one whole day at Times Square & Midvalley. I swore I'd get sick on being in the LRTs as it's been so long since I last been on one!? I followed kak Gie in her search for some Lit. books. Kak Gie amazes me in her jihad on that. At the end of the day, we were confident that we've surpassed the government's call on 10,000 steps per day, haha.. I just wish I had the right shoes on..

Borders

Oh, our time together also got us into trying out some Arabian (Labib's) , Chinese (de templer's),Turkish (Sweet Chat's - love the Soy bean jelly with kiwi topping!), and Korean food (Midvalley's food court) :) Apart from the Malay food of course, kak Gie couldn't abstain herself from indulging into veges dishes. She brought home asparagus, sweet beans & some blueberries to Jengka, for goodness sake! hehee...

Throughout our journey, we reminisced on the old days as iium students. After this, insha Allah more visits to come! ;)

Unperturbed

Unperturbed

You let that song play

Until I realize what it means

Until I hear the voice that runs

Peace in my soul

Will a drought ever drain this drizzling tranquility?

Will a storm ever shatter this summer hope?

We continue to wonder, knowing

With faith to accept

HIS decree

That it is you, that it is I, that it is us

Natrah Musical Theatre

Went to watch Natrah with RS & her friends at IB last 27 Nov. We got lost a bit & traffic was quite bad, due to MAHA I supposed. Well, I don't really have the time to narrate it all here. So here's a snippet of my conversation with a friend on it.

p/s: a bit disturbed with;

1. seeing too many blondes & highlights during the kampung people scenes
2. incomplete jawi calligraphy of the letter 'sin' on the banners (huruf 'sin' dalam tulisan jawi yang tak cukup 'rumah' pada beberapa kain rentang demonstrasi kes Natrah)
