Memory lane end of 2006

Something which I had in my archieve in Dec, 2006

1) Dato A's special treat in Temerloh (the stall near Sungai Pahang at Pekan Temerloh)...gulai ikan paten tempoyak ...so yummy..(only pic of banner here) .

Everytime I am back to Msia, Dato A's will treat me and my uncle cum family with Ikan Paten Temerloh. We drove all the way from KL to Temerloh for lunch with Dato A and his family. Dato A is my uncle's best friend. I met him during his visit to Edin for official trip last 2 years. I had opportunity to get to know most of my uncle's friend who travelled to where I was before. That is the beauty of being faraway..

2) Investment for health ---still very useful at least until now...The machine massage us from head to toe whenever needed or 15 minutes a day. Surely this cannot replace a conventional massage, ...but but..we can't affort to have that too frequent.

3) Cinta adalah anugerah yang Esa...re-watch movie in the car during long distance travelling from KL to kampung to celebrate Hari Raya Qurban. As we took turn driving, we have a choice to sleep or watch movie while sitting on the passenger's side.

4) My late grandma's sister (Innallillah...She passed away 2 weeks after this picture was taken. I was back to UK at that time)

5)Believe it or not..My first grandchild, I am a grandma now! My lil man holding my niece's son (grandson of big man's cousin)... and that makes "uncle lil man"

My plate is full....

The beauty of balik kampung....Kampung style cooking...so yummy...

Mak being mak, as usual, always fill up table with so many lauk-pauk until we don't know what to eat first or after seing too many, stomach feel full already...

Mak and others know that I love all sort of ulam..so this one is what I target first to put on my plate.

Pics taken during raya qurban last year.

p/s, did I notice that I gain 4 kilos within 2 months since I am back to Msia.....errr....now..I need to control my makan because I feel heavier ...and most of my office attire left in closet for 4 years dah macam sarung nangka.... :-).

Most people I met told me that I look better (actually other terms was used...which if I wrote here might enhance further the expanded part of my body i.e. kembang b**t*t...hahaha.) since I put on weight. I was too skinny before. It is a compliment indeed to feel young, radiant and energetic.

But but....will it keep growing even if I don't eat much? Will wait and see. Exercise must go on, cycling that is for big man and I every opportunity we get during weekdays and a must during weekend...to stay healthy, fit and young forever...

Marissa Atifah's special pose ...my little niece and my child prodeigy (we share the same birthday, July 23)

Big eyes and serious face ( I love this face!)

The Murai's special pose (my cousin's son - Fawas)

I posted pictures of these lovely innocent faces so that I could come back and see (and talk to them also...) when needed. They make me smile and feel relax when I am tired of re-writing, re-thinking and reshuffling for correcting my T.

Oh my my...I felt so stupid on some part of my writing as I could not see or interpret as my Prof can see it.... Obviously I don't visualise much on the images and results I had in hand....Well it was in the sponsor's report & presented some years ago. Yes...I am lost in the maze for sometimes..in my own world.... Hence, I could not clarify what could be possible explanation on the phenomena observed....

Grrrrr...I need my imagination & visualisation mind back..... But all in all, I am so happy that my sup spent time to go through my T, as he always been busy in the past and difficult to find time...My spirit shoot up to the sky as things are clearer in my mind as we discuss and help to refine my boring & mundane writing. He reminded me again that I am always good at talking and can explain very well and sometimes difficult to stop me...but my writing didn't reflect that.... Hahaha..I reminded him that 10 presentations equivalent to 1 writing for me... Aha...have to brush up my writing skill to higher degree...

I must come out from my writing to see things....I guess, I was so much worry about not having a perfect/repeatable data etc etc..Obviously I have to forget it because much of work done in my T is exploring possible various novel methods for early warning and also explaining mechanism / phenomena which not well understood by many and what I discovered by plan or chance from my tedious & delicate experiments. Hence..."novel approaches" is the theme. Others who will carry on with this research have to make them perfect later... My work should be enough to set the foundation for further research in this area and expalining some phenomena....

Finally, I have to be well prepared to convince my examiner the major contribution from my work....Amin.

To all my friends in similar boat with me..let us kept going to the end...

Especially to Atenah on the other side of the land...we keep that promise of sitting down for teh tarik to laugh & smile about our journey...

My time "OFF" from blogging for a wee while!
