Double Happiness

PART 1

Sometimes, pictures speak louder than words. Malas nak cite panjang2, tgk je la gambar2 ni. Masa terhad sebenarnya coz I'm still in d lab, waiting for my samples.

a. Besday Hubby ke 26. Celebrate kat Lake Ontario ngn Kak Ila n Azri n lupe lak 'budak kecik'. hehehe.. Moga dipanjangkan umur, dimurahkan rezeki n jadi papa yg baik utk 'budak kecik' tau.

Menu kami: bihun goreng siap ngn bwg goreng, sambal belacan n satay..

Kek besday boy from Dairy Queen.. sgt sedap.. lapisan aiskrim coklat kat bawah, coklat caramel tgh2 n aiskrim vanila kat atas. Bukan sponge cake mcm kat Msia. hehehhe.. lupa daratan lak.

masa ni masih lg morning sickness, tp sebab makan ramai2 jadi selera lak.

Ni la Msian kat Queens. Very small community.. Tp xpe, hubungan kami erat.

Gambar kami 'bertiga' kat depan umah kak ila. banyak sgt bunga.. jeles ngn kak ila.

2009-04-19T15:15:00.000-07:00

Entry kali ni actually nak kenalkan my supervisor (Prof J. HUgh Horton) or lebih mesra kami panggil Hugh. Ni permintaan dari Kak Hanis la, nak sgt tgk kecomelan Hugh yg mmg xleh disangkal lg, tp malangnye i xde gmbar baru. huhu..

Masa mula2 'berkenalan' dgn Hugh ni, dah terasa dia ni sangat la baik orangnye. Sa mesti setuju punye. Dari hal belajar sampai la urusan nak dapatkan apartment, nak amik kat airport sume die yg uruskan. Malangnye, i tolak tawaran dia nak amik kat airport coz Kak Ila pun offer gak. Ms tu pk lg comfortable kalo org kite yg amik kat airport. Dah sampai cni ngn cuaca yg extreme sejuk (max -35C) masa winter, dia dah pesan awal2 u should have more clothes and just let me know if you need something. Alamak terharunye...

Utk research, 2 bulan pertama mmg i x masuk lab coz nak focus pd coursework tp masa tu Hugh banyak bg buku for d introduction of colloid and surface science. Tiap2 minggu kami akan ada individual meeting n dari situ la dia akan pantau progress kami. So, x la melencong dari research plan. Sampai la skrg, Hugh ni jenis yg conduct kami step by step. Tiap kali nak pakai alat dia akan bg training dulu termasuk la bile nak pakai penunu bunsen. hehhe...

Lab meeting ngn Hugh, dia bgtau dia naik pangkat to Dean of Applied Science start July 1st, 09 so dia akan sangat la bz. n dah pesan awal2 pd kami kalo ade apa2 masalah bincang ngan group dulu coz nnt kami dah susah nak jumpa dia macam sekarang. Always available kat bilik. Ada masalah kecik2 pun gatal g ngadu kat dia. hehe..

xtau la gambar zaman bila ni.Hugh nampak tua. Sebenarnya sgt la smart..

Gambar ngn ex-students.. sume x kenal.. kena bgtau Hugh suh update website dia. Ni gmbar amik kat website.

Dr Crudden (baju merah kat depan tu) sgt la banyak tolong i utk sintesis. Thanks.. Tp dia salah sorang killer kat Queens ni. huhu

Ni la Steve, kawan baik sepanjang nak sintesis. Student Dr Crudden yg dah 5tahun wat phD. mmg terer giler bab2 sintesis ni (n ensem guy too). Slalu pandang muka dia, mane tau nnt baby kuar mata biru macam Steve. hehe

Summary for a month!

2009-04-16T14:37:00.001-07:00

It has been a long long time since my last post on March 09. About a month I left my blog smp dah bersawang. huhu.. A lot of big things happened to us but I just don't have time to update my blog. Biase lah, hidup sebagai student phd ni sungguh menyiksakan. haha.. and having 3 presentations in 2 weeks really make me like crazy. last week I'm finished with the course, means that 40% of the evaluation goes to final exam. Gosh, I'm not doing well since I skip the class for 3 times out of 7 classes. It was so boring, 3 hours lecture is not good for me because I only can focus on the lecture for half an hour. After that, ape lg berdrama la... I know the fact that, I can get a lot of benefit from this course since my research also in material and surface science. I will get involve with instruments like AFM, SEM, Auger and so on, but it's too late to regret. haha..

14, 15 March 09:

That was our first wedding anniversary. Same pulak ngan besday Sabeq. Memang xleh lari la seumur hidup. Mesti ingat punye..Dah setahun rupenye kawin, x sedar mase berlalu.. ceewaahh... Utk celebrate anniversary kami, we went to Mango Restaurant with Kak Ila (Thai foods), Malaysian Restaurant xde, Thai pun boleh la, jiran Malaysia. huhu.. I didn't snap any pictures there, (rugi2!!). But makanan boleh la tahan, shrimp tom yam with mango salad (org melayu panggil kerabu mangga) and banana fried with honey.. nyam2...

The next day, we went to the mall and Walmart.. saje jalan2 makan angin. dah penat rayau2, berhenti makan jap kat Chinese Restaurant and then sambung balik g wallmart sebab nak beli langsir baru. Rupa-rupanya bukan langsir je yang dibeli, finally we spent almost $250 at Wallmart. huhu.. Plan balik nak naik bas tukar naik teksi. Banyak sangat barang nak bawak. Siap beli toto baru lg. haha.. Makin lena la tidur...

Balik dari bandar, I got a big surprise... Attention guys.. I'm ready now to announced that!

single line: not pregnant

Double: pregnant

Mine was double, so what else to say.. This is our big present for 1st anniversary. So, to make it confirmed we went to Student Health Centre and get another test by doctor. Yeah, that's right, I'm pregnant. Mmg hepi giler and all the doctors and stuff there keep saying congratulation, enjoy your moment and sudahnye x pasal2 satu klinik tu tahu.

Start from there, I'm having a very bad morning sickness, loya n muntah tu jadi perkara biase. I can't eat or smell foods, so I'm just living on fruits for a couple of the weeks. But now, dah ok skit.. Dipermudahkan Allah, my supervisor sgt la baik, xde nak marah coz getting pregnant just after 3 months I cames here. He's very supportive and his routine question now changed from 'how are you' to 'how's your baby?'.. cute eh?

Easter day 09

It was a long holiday for the Easter day. We were planning to have some good activities, hang out with friends but keadaan x mengizinkan bila I muntah2 teruk. So, duduk umah je la. Kesian kat hubby sebenarnya, boring duk umah.. Ape nak wat..

So, here is our activities in the evening..

Jam

Gelang kawin

Cincin risik n tunang

Ni Full House versi Melayu.. hehe.. Cik Sabiqah jangan jeles... HAHAHA..Al-maklum lah, dah lame x pakai barang emas, duk kat lab je watpe nak pakai..

Last one, g berkelah kat Lake Ontario pagi td sebab suhu dah tak sejuk.. Mat saleh pun dah ramai bersidai. kalau UMT campus by the sea, Queen's ni campus by the lake. Mcm UMT gak, jalan belakang ni dah dekat sangat ngan Lake. Ingat nak tgk bunga tp malangnya tulipbelum tumbuh. Baru nampak daun. huhu

Bekal muffin n coklat.

Thats all for now. Cau..

The Chicken Rice.. Bukan Sekadar Nasi Ayam

2009-03-08T05:44:00.000-07:00

Smlm kami bertiga wat nasi ayam special.. hahhaha.. mengidam kot. Actually dari mggu lps plan ngn kak ila nak wat nasi ayam, tapi memandangkan Kak Ila tersangat la sibuk, so kami wat la mggu ni. Dulu mase duk Msia x pernah wat langsung nasi ayam, tau makan je. Bile dtg cni, macam2 teringin nak makan. Nasi ayam la, nasi dagang, nasi lemak, tempoyak n budu. huhu.. nasib baik la budu tu x reti nak wat.kalo pandai try gak agaknye. Otak dah beku sbb dah lame x mkn budu. hihi.. Banyak giler teringin nak makan, n yg terbaru my hubby teringin nak makan sate sbb aritu g Food Basic jumpe satay segera. Best je nampak, kalo la halal kan best.... so pesanan kpd sape2 yg lum fly tu, mkn ape yg rase nak mkn kat Msia, xpun belajar la masak ur fav foods, senang nnt. huhu

Ok, back to d story, sbb teringin sangat nak makan, tanye la mak mertua i cara2 nak wat nasi ayam. tergelak je dia. Mane xnye, mak mertua pandai masak tp menantu die bute kayu pasal masak. Mcm langit ngn bumi.haha.. Dah dpt resepi, ari Khamis lepas hubby g downtown cari barang. Tp lupe pulok nak beli ayam.. bahan yg plg utama. hahaha.. so bncg2, decide wat ari Ahad sbb ari Sabtu tu leh g cari ayam dulu kat Masala. Nak g ari Jumaat mmg xsempat la.. banyak keje beb. But then, sabtu pagi Kak Ila call ckp nak wat nasi ayam arini coz Ahad dia bz nak masuk lab. Sbb ayam xde, kak ila pun bawak la ayam.. hehe..klakar ek.. Tetamu yg bwk ayam.

Start masak kul 12 lbh, kul 3 baru leh makan. lame giler duk dapur. bukan nye ape sebenarnye.. Byk bergosip. huhu.

dah siap.. dah boleh makan..

Ni dia buktinya.... siap wat bergedil lg. Sedap....

Cite pasal snow skit n ketensionan

2009-03-05T15:38:00.000-08:00

entry sa n ila pasal salji kali ni.. hahaha.. i pun nak cite pasal salji gak. xpe kan?? hahahah..
not much to say, we're still in winter mood, cume alhamdulillah winter kat cni xla sesejuk di Alberta. Tabik spring la kat Sa, kulit ehem2 rupenye..

Minggu ni weather x menentu, ari isnin n selase aritu sgt la sejuk (-19c bt feels like -25c sbb windy).. dah kire sejuk la kat sini, sampai mase tggu bas meleleh2 air mata. arini sgt la warm suhu x minus, salji dah mencair. tp dlm umah ni lak yg makin sejuk coz bile suhu let say 5c and above, diorg akn slowkan heater kononnye takut kite panas. aiih... esok n smp ujung mggu ni suhu dijangka in range 5c to 11c. suhu tertinggi dicatat sepanjang duk cni. harap2 ramalan ni tepat.

enough with that, nak cite pasal lab lak. agak nye ni la dugaan pertama for my phd study. igtkan dah settle ngn masalah nak sintesis yg sgt rumit tu, rupenye x. huhu.. mggu lepas baru je order my starting material for sonogashira rxn which is C12 alkyne with alcohol-terminated. mase nak search company tu dah la susah,at last ade la 1 company dari US. igtkan leh la start lab dlm mggu ni, then i dpt email dari Chemistry Store pasal mende alah tu. harge die $16000 for 100mL. xkan la Hugh nak belikan. bincang punye bincang hugh suruh sintesis sendiri bende tu. then i terfikir, kalo bende tu sng2 nak sintesis xkan harga dia smp $16000 ek? Or what do u think? Dr Crudden bg idea about the syhthesis, n hugh setuju, so ape nak wat.... the new route for the synthesis skrg dah jd 9 steps instead of 4 or 5 at the beginning.

Hopefully mggu dpn dah leh mulekan lab. Doakan mg dipermudahkan segalanye n tetap hati dlm menempuh dugaan wat phd ni. I'm really not in a good mood now. Nasib baik la ade suami. hahaha.. Ni la rahmat nye.. Thanks hubby and thanks to Allah swt for this very precious 'gift'.

Thats all for now. bye!

Things to do:

2009-02-21T05:11:00.000-08:00

1. A new plan for synthesis:

It tooks me about one and half month just to think about a new route for the synthesis of ----. I need to change the procedure for 3 times before it does begin. The first one is to used t-BuLi to substitute Br- group at C4 benzene ring. T-BuLi is very dangerous since it can blow out in a second because of limited handling efficiency and nak dijadikan cite, a grad student from California died because of that. So, Hugh decides not to take any risk and asked me to think a new route to replace t-BuLi. Gosh… The second plan was to used Grignard Reagent, pun xjadi due to my target compound is C12 (long chain) and low yield percentage. Finally, I try to proposed sonagashira rxn that involved aryl bromides and alkynes terminated by alcohol group. Seems like it can be done, so kene la list down ape chemicals nak pakai n order it.

2. NMR training:

I should go to NMR training since I’ll used it in short time to for my starting material. It should be today, and xde sebab yg kukuh I g batalkan training tu. Bodo giler.

3. Report Mass-Spec:

Due date for this report is Feb 28th tp skrg baru siap 1 muka surat. Xtau la apesal slow sgt.

4. Problem Set Mass-Spec:

Problem set is another assignment carried 30% of the total score. It has 9 killer questions and nmpk gayenye baru ade 1 soalan yg leh dijawab. Damn... I really need someone’s help. Sape yg power rangers dlm Mass spec, tlg la hulurkan pertolongan.

5. Present meeting group:

It’s probably on March 23rd. Hugh asked me to give a talk about my research and share with other group members especially about the synthesis. Adei… x nmpk bayang lg nih!

6. Presentation for scientific Communication:

It’s on March 27th, 4 days after meeting group. Campur ni 4 presentation dah within 3 months. Giler btl.. Tu la, dah ni jalan yg dipilih, ikut je la.. (Ayat mek sarah).

7. Submit Seminar Critiques and abstract:

This is for Scientific communication course where we need to give some critiques about the seminar department in terms of their slides, skills and so on. Masalahnye, yg bg presrentation tu sume prof2 yg mmg dah expert. Slide pun cantik2. so the comment is: Very good presentation. Tp xkan same je utk sume??

8. Conference??

There will be a Conference on Surface Chemistry (end of May) and will be held in MCMaster University, Hamilton. Hurrreeeeeyyy.. This is my first conference.

1st & 2nd Presentation: Done

2009-02-11T13:57:00.001-08:00

It seems like a very big relieved after 2 presentations in a week. I get started as earlier as I can so that I can be well prepared. Well, my supervisor is very concern about the presentation, so in last week group meeting he decided to give me an opportunity to talk in front of four others member group (Mohammad, Peiling, Nicole and Ying) and give me some comments about my slide and so on. That's a great idea, I know but at the same time I got very nervous actually not because to speak in front of other people (kat Msia pun same je) but the topic is not familiar to me. It's about a desorption technique in Mass-Spec and this is my first time to know DESI-MS (Desorption Electrospray Ionization).

The pesentation has been done on Monday and as usual, kene tegur skit2 tu biase la. Banyak komen membina yg i dpt. Yg plg xtahan skali kene tukar template because i guna template UMT. hahaha... Hugh said, 'well alyza, i know u're from Universiti Msia..(die xpndai nak sebut Terengganu), but u should also be proud as a Queen's student'.. hehe.. ngn selambe nye i pun jawab la, 'i'm sorry, i don't have any Queen's templates'.. Mohammad lak angkat tangan, u can get it from me if u want. hehe.. sah, confirm kene tukar templates.. well, it's not my intention to use UMT's template. I don't have any idea how to create a white background slide and play with the colors to look nice but still formal. I love to have a colorful backgound macam budak2 tadika in my slide. So, i try to ask Kak Erin either is it compulsory to used a white background and she said its much better to used white sbb nmpk formal. So, ape lg, i gune je la template UMT, dah itu je yg ade. hehe..

The real presentation in front of 30 students on Wednesday was went well. Xbanyak soalan yg ditanya maybe because of I'm the last person out of four, and realized that they all hungry, I just try to make the presentation look simple. it tooks about 20minutes and 1 question from Prof Richard Oleschuk about the ionization mode. Then, done...

Seronok2... n ari khamis tu i decide to go to the mall (Cataraqui Centre) jalan2 makan angin sambil shopping baju n beli coat for coming spring. Xsesuai la pulak nak pkai baju bubble dah, suhu dah x extreme sgt. dah nyaman sekarang. Snow dah mula cair n Lake Ontario pun dah biru. Baru nmpk dunia, sebenarnye Kingston ni cantik.

Ari Sabtu kami ade perjumpaan ngn Puan Zalilah from MSD and ari Ahad kami plan nak masak for Kak Ila n Azri, ade tetamu nak bertandang ke rumah. Mggu depan lak ade seminar WHMIS (Safety), siap ade online kuiz lg. Kalo xlulus xdpt sijil. WHMIS ni one of the phD requirement, so kene wat elok2. Harap2 sumenye berjalan lancar.

Thats all for now. Cau..

Ye..Ye... NAk kawin

2009-02-04T14:17:00.000-08:00

Seronoknye dengar berita Kak Syara (a.k.a. Percayalahhhh) nak kawin. Hmmmm.. i sgt2 memahami keadaan kak syara skrg, seriously dah tinggal sebulan seelum kawin mmg xleh wat keje ape dah. Mcm2 pk. hahhahah.. Well kak syara, pk skit2 je. Jgn lebih2 lak.

Td boring xde ape nak wat, tgk gmbar kawin n gmbr kat bwh ni btl2 wat i tersenyum. rupe2 nye kat dlm gmbr ni sume dah 'maju setapak ke hadapan'. hehehe.. (ila pun skali la, ntah2 blk aritu wat majlis, sj xnak bgtau.) hehe.. Amik berkat pengantin, naik pelamin mmg cepat bertemu jdh.

I dah kat setahun kawin, Mek sarah bulan 5 ni, darah masam2 manis tu. Cik Sabiqah, emmm... hehhehehe.., ila dah ade poje tunggu. KAK SYARA bulan 3 ni. fuhhh... giler ah.. cepatnye mase berlalu.

Kawan2 i xde dah yg single mingle.. sume dah berdua.

Cik Sabiqah???... emmmmm... heheheehe.. dah ade gak...

Black, yellow, black, yellow, HELLO....

Kak Syara, Selamat Pengantin Baru, selamat menempuh alam berumah tangga. Moga berkekalan hingga ke akhir hayat n moga kasih sayang kalian kekal selamanya. Amin..

Kisah Kicap ngan Coke

2009-01-30T04:35:00.000-08:00

Actually malam Rabu aritu I dah plan ngan hubby nak g uruskan segala hal yg tergendala hari khamis memandangkan xde kelas.. (sebenarnye malas nak masuk kampus lg, xnak terserempak ngan Hugh. Nnt mesti dia ty pasal sintesis tu. I masih lg tgh kumpul maklumat. Sabar ye Hugh...) hehehe..

So pagi semalam lepas breakfast kami tggu bas nak masuk kampus, nak scan boarding pas sbb nak bg ke kat zue utk elaun spouse. try la ty kat pejabat am kat mane nak gune scanner? Guess what, dia jawab just give it to me, I can help u!. c.... i dah ckp canadian mmg baik, kalo kat Msia ni pandai2 la ko nak cari scanner. hmmm.. Dah settle 1 hal.

then, kami ke LeSalle Building untuk antar surat dari International Office. Kat LeSalle ni macam tempat kaunseling la. Ade masalah sakit jiwa leh la wat appointment kat cni. Settle lg 1 hal..

Pastu, naik bas balik ke Kingston Centre untuk pos surat ke Embassy n ke KPT. Sa pesan kene wat cepat2, kang elaun lambat masuk. huhu.. Dah pos surat tu, kami ke Lowlaws utk beli barang2 dapur skit. Nak cari beger, ayam madu, coklat, hot choc Tim Horton's, sayur2 skit n cili api. Aritu g ade, semalam g xde dah. hampeh tul.. Tengahari gak la settle sume, perut mmg dah lapar giler. Mase tggu bas nak balik apartment ade lak minah saleh ni makan fries.. Bau mcm KFC lak. Adeii.. dugaan.

Dalam bas duk bncang ngan hubby nak masak ape? Dah lapar giler ni.. Hubby ckp masak simple je la. So, I decide nak goreng ikan bilis, ltk bwg skit, cili skit... ooo best...., pastu goreng sayur kacang buncis. Cukup menyelerakan tmbah2 makan ngan nasi panas2. Hingga menjilat jari. hehehe.. Masak pun cepat2 je, seriously mmg lapar giler..

Dah siap masak, hubby pun hidang nak makan.. Amik kicap (dari Msia, dah tinggal skit kene jimat ni!), air masak n air coke, pinggan2... i pun duduk nak makan. Rase dahaga giler, nmpak botol coke depan mate. Terus bukak penutup n minum.... Mase nak telan tu, apesal pekat semacam? Masin lak tu.. Rupe2 nye terminum kicap. Ni la padahnye letak kicap dalam botol coke. Konon xnak pecah masa letak dalam laggage dulu. Pulak tu, botol coke Msia ngan Canada same je, beza penutup je. Msia punye merah, Canada putih. HAHAHAHHA!! Ape lg, ngan pantas la g kumur2. pikir2 balik rase rugi giler, dah la kicap dah tinggal skit, g buang lak. hmm.. kepada sape2 kat Msia yg baik hati tu, kalo rajin tlg la pos kicap. I can't live without u kicap kipas udang. Org Ireland pun xpe, dgr kat sane ade kicap kipas udang. hehehe

Lebih kurang je kan? Yg sikit tu la kicap.. huhu..sedey

ok la, sampai situ je. Nak wat sarap lak.. pasni nak g kampus. malas nye nak g, kat luar ribut dah 2 ari x henti2. Sejuk kaki, ni la sebabnye nape I xsuke snow. xbest pun. cauuuwww for now.. bye!

Am I phD student? Oh God...

2009-01-27T13:07:00.000-08:00

Hari Isnin i g kampus utk registration ditemani hubby. hehehe... Masa mula2 masuk Chernoff Hall berdebar giler. Mane x nye, first time nak jumpe DrHugh Horton face to face. Kami tggu kat bawah je since bilik dia kunci.

At last, hubby yg perasan Dr Horton n dia pun macam dah kenal je.. Hi alyza (u know how he pronounced my name? Sounds like alaiza), here u are. I'm so worry about u. U didn't email me or... bla..bla.bla...hmmmm... baik giler hugh ni. Registration siap dlm kul 2pm n dapat student card. So leh naik bas free. hehehe

Esoknye, I ada taklimat ngn hugh berkaitan safety dlm lab n hari Rabu dan seterusnya i dah start kelas. Rasa bersalah lak tinggal hubby kat umah sorg2.. but this is my sacrifice.. pasni dah keje xla boring sgt.

I love u...

Merpati 2 sejoli. Macam kami la ni. Jealous ke Cik Sabiqoh? hehe

Kak Ila yg banyak berjasa kat kitorang.. Toce...

Hugh pun ada terang research plan selama 4tahun ni. But for the first step he want me to find some literature about synthesis of diphenol group and some other reading about the basic of colloid and surface chemistry since I'm totally new in this field.

First assignment from Hugh. How to synthesis this compound?

A New Life Begin

2009-01-27T12:53:00.000-08:00

Hari pertama kat Kingston, Kak ila bawa kami ke Kingston Centre utk beli barang2 makanan n bahan mentah nak masak. Masa tu igt lg Kak Ila pesan pkai bj 2 3 lapis sbb suhu skrg -25C. Gosh...Kami ke Loblaws n kak ila tunjuk kat kami mane barang makanan yg blh dimakan n x. Kebanyakan barang2 kat cni hampir sama mcm Malaysia. Hotdog halal pun ade. Suka la tu hubby. Kami g nak daftar Rogers for cellphone malangnye xleh coz xde student card n bank account. Terpakse la tggu sampai ari Isnin. Malam tu Kak Ila bg pnjm phone dia incase nak call famili or org airport call laggage dah sampai. Nasib baik cepat dpt laggege, Jumaat mlm tu dah dpt. kalo x, susah gak. Baju dah xde. hehehe

Keesokkannye Kak Ila bawak kami ke Dollarama kat Downtown. Nak g Downtown kena lalu kampus, so Kak Ila tunjuk terus department i utk registration ari Isnin. Kak Ila xdpt teman coz dia bz ari Isnin. KAt Dollarama kami beli sume kelengkapan umah mcm pinggan mangkuk, periuk, n sume la ngan harga $1. Best ek??Dari Dollarama kami ke Wall-mart kat Cataraqui Centre utk beli winter boot n barang2 lain. Pendek kata shopping sakan laa.

bla..bla...bla....

Mula2 sampai Canada susah nak sesuaikan diri ngan masa kat sana sbb terikut masa kat Msia lagi. Kalo dah kul 4ptg mesti dah ngantuk giler sbb kat Msia dah kul 5pg. hehe.. Tp skrg ni dah biase, dah xde masalah..

bab2 i homesick xyah cite la eh... hehehhe... just for 2 days.

Leaving for Canada

2009-01-27T12:20:00.000-08:00

PART 3: VANCOUVER

Masa kami check in kat Jepun tu, sekali lagi kami ada masalah. Flight kami sepatutnya Narita-Toronto, tapi ada masalah teknikal kami terpaksa transit di Vancouver n kami terpaksa kuarkan sume barang n check in lg skali ke Kingston. Study permit pun terpaksa amik kat Vancouver,bukan kat Toronto seperti yang sepatutnya. Alhamdulillah sume urusan senang n x amik masa yg lama. Lepas siap2 sume kami pun naik balik flight yg sama td untuk ke Toronto.

Tiket Narita-Toronto-Kingston

Air Canada yg kami naik. sempit, xbest.. MAS lg best. Peramugari lak tua2 n garang.

Gambar last yg sempat diambil. Dah nak gerak ke Toronto mase ni.

PART 4: TORONTO

Sampai Toronto kul 630mlm n flight ke Kingston kul 720mlm. Badan pun dah penat, dah xde mood nak amik gmbr. Terus je check-in n naik Canada Jazz yg sgt kecik n comey. hehe.. seriusly, mmg kecik, kalah Fire-fly. Peramugari pun seorang je. Masa nak naik flight tu la first time pijak snow coz dia x connect to bangunan.. kena jalan kaki sendiri je. hahhaha..

Sampai kat airport Kingston, beg kami lak yang x sampai. Mungkin masa transit kat Toronto tu kejap sgt. xsempat org tu nak punggah barang kami masuk Canada Jazz. Probably.. xtau la betul ke x... Kak Ila yg amik kami kat airport ngn teksi. Masa dalam teksi, tergamam dengar kak Ila speaking ngan driver teksi tu, cair gilos beb. Cayalah Kak Ila..

Ok, dah abis bab dlm flight.. Jom kira total jarak n masa yg diambil nak sampai cni.

KL-NARITA: 5600km 6h

NARITA-VANCOUVER: 9000km 8h

VANCOUVER-TORONTO: 3000km 3h

TORONTO-KINGSTON: 500km 1h

____________________________

TOTAL: 18100km 18h

* tak termasuk waiting for connecting flight around 11h

Leaving for Canada

2009-01-27T11:43:00.000-08:00

PART 2: NARITA JAPAN

Perjalanan dari KL ke Narita sejauh 5636km mengambil masa selama 6jam. So, kami sampai di Narita pada jam 720am and the next connecting flight to Toronto was on 530pm. Lebih kurang 10 jam jugak la menapak kat airport.

sampai2 je kat Narita, kami dah terkejut. Sejuk giler.. Suhu masa tu dlm 3C. Kami tiba di Terminal 2 so kene naik bas ke Terminal 1 coz flight To Toronto kat Terminal 1.Org2 Jepun pun baik tp susah skit nak comunicate sbb diorg x berapa pandai cakap Bi. Kalo ade yg speaking pun x paham sgt. huhu..

Masa ni baru je sampai kat Terminal 1. Tengah terkejut lg. Masa ni tiba2 dtg perasaan nak patah balik Malaysia. huhu..xmalu.. macam budak2.

Hubby masih blh senyum. Tp macam senyum tawar je.. Rindu mak la tu!

Seriusly, masa sampai tu dah xde igt ape. Ngantuk sgt. Dlm flight mana leh tidur sangat. Asyik kena kacau ngn peramugari2 cantik tu je. Jap2 kang.. miss, miss nak ape? Miss nak air? Miss nak makan? Adei.. Tp layanan diorg mmg first class. Plg best n cantik n ensem2. hehe.. So, ape lg, masa kat Narita tu sempat la lelapkan mata atas kerusi. Tidur pun gilir2 coz sorang nak kena jaga hand laggage. Yela... mana tau, something could happened kalo dua-dua tidur.

Bangun je tidur, kami g basah2kan badan n salin pakaian. Masa tu igt nak wat call ke Malaysia tp xpandai lak nak pakai telefon kat situ. Arahan pun dalam bahasa Jepun. Pelik lak, cmne sabiqoh kate leh paham instruction tuh. Pengaruh Super Junior kot.. (Super Junior dari Jepun ke). So, dah bosan sangat xde ape nak wat kami pun g money changer tukar duit. Kami tukar $CAN50 dapat dlm 3500yen. Boleh la makan n beli barang2 kenangan dari jepun. hehe..

Hubby minum chocolate truffle and veggie sandwich. Cukup untuk alas perut.

Transit kat Narita memang memenatkan.. Masa check-in kat Air Canada kami diberitahu flight delay sampai kul 6pm. hmm.. bertambah lama menunggu. Masa nak naik flight pun leceh giler. Nak kena beratur panjang2, panggil nama, jerit2 kat org suruh beratur. Not nice eh? Tu je la kot skali transit kat Jepun. Lain kali kalo balik nak try transit kat Hong Kong or China lak.

Ni gambar kat dlm terowong masa nak check in kat Air Canada.

Leaving for Canada

2009-01-25T05:24:00.000-08:00

Hi there.. Long time no see.. hahahaaha.. I'm so sorry for neglecting my blog for more than a month. I'm so busy preparing myself and other stuff to bring to Canada. Well, now.. I'm here in Canada or in more specific QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY, KINGSTON, ONTARIO, CANADA. Just like a dream. hehee

hehe..xtau lak nak start cite dari mane.

PART 1: KLIA

Kami berlepas dari KLIA hari Rabu 7hb Jan 09. Mase on d way nak check in tu, biase la.. kelam kabut. Almaklumlah xpernah kuar dari Malaysia,tu pun nasib baik Cik Sabiqah dah ajar skit2. huhu.. Lepas wrap 3 beg kami yg besar2 tu, kami terus menuju ke kaunter check in. Suddenly, my hubby tanye.." sayg, mane jaket abg?". Berderau darah mase tu coz pasport hubby dalam jaket tu! Ape lg, berlari la g kat parking kete tgk jaket, nasib baik ade. Igt kan dah tinggal kat umah. Kalo tinggal tu, sayonara la.. heheheehhe..

Pastu mase nak check-in kat kaunter MAS, kami mntk nak direct laggage ke Kingston coz dlm beg tu actually byk sgt brg2 makanan. Takut kene rampas. Mule2 diorg kate xleh coz tansit kat Narita lebih dari 10jam. ape lg, kami ni wat la muke kesian.. blh la akak.....ni first time kami ni.... kami takut... heheheheh.. die pun g bncg ngn bos die, then br blh.. Lega skit. Lepas 1 masalah. Tp masalah baru timbul lak, beg kami ade 3, lum lebih berat tp mslhnye ade 1beg yg bapak besar tu overweight coz spatutnye leh bwk 2 beg sorg n each bag do not exceed 26kg.. Punye la rugi kitorg. Igt kan cmpur2 beg sume xleh lbh 40kg. Kalo tau cmtu, baik bwk 2beg sorg..leh bwk budu,belacan, ape2 lg makanan yg confirm xde kat Canada. huhu.. xpela.. think positive, xde rzki. Lgpun xtau.

Berbalik kpd cite td, kami tanya akak tu, kalo overweight cmne? Ngan selambe je die jwb, kene repack balik la. G la beli beg yg kecik2 kat kdai tu transfer skit spya kurang dari 26kg. Terperanjat giler kami, nak beli beg dah 1 hal, kami dah wrap sume beg2 tu. Kali ni kami merayu xlayan lak. Dia takut masalah akan timbul bila tukar plane. Air Canada rasenye lagi kecik dari MAS. Dah lame sgt duk kat kaunter check-in tu, mak mertua i pun dtg. Kami cite la masalah beg tu besar sgt n biase lah pujuk rayu mak mertua i lg hebat sampai org MAS tu kate ok! huhu.. i kena blajar lg la dari mak mertua i. hehee... Tabik spring la...

Sambil2 nak tggu kul 11,mak mertua i dah berapa kali nangis. huhu.. asik pesan, jangan gaduh2 kat tmpt org.korg berdua je.mak tau uda tu degil skit (bukan skit, byk sbnrnye. tp i lg degil.huhu), kalo uda dgl bagitau mak. Jgn tggl sembahyang.. Huuuhh igt la sampai skrg.

Kul 11 kami pun masuk, adegan nangis2 pun seperti yg dijangka berlaku. Actually sehari sebelum fly tu i tanye kat hubby." Nanti mase salam2 abg nak nangis x? Sayg xnak nangis sbb kalo dah start susah nak berhenti". Hubby i xcaye yg i xnangis, siap bertaruh ngn die sape yg nangis die kalah. yg mng leh duk tepi tingkap dlm flight nnt. Definately i kalah. Mase salam2 ngan yang lain tu rase leh tahan lg air mate, smp kat mak mertua i dah xleh tahan.. terus banjir.. waaaaaaaaaaawaaaaaa......

Cukup la tu kat KLIA... Have a look at this pictures first. Sorry gambar x clear sgt coz pkai handset je.

Sorry for neglecting my blog for almost a month.. ke lebih ek? hehehe.. I'm just don't know what to share with you guys. Nothing special happened and I keep waiting for the offer letter from Queen's. So, today finally, it's here.. God, I'm so happy.. Thank you so much. Right now, I need to wait for the offer from KPT and proceed with visa application. For the meantime, I think I can do all the preparation, baju2, n ape nak bawak ke Canada nnt.

Kak Syaralicious also dah dapat sokongan daripada vc utk tukar universiti. From Queen's to Cork. Double hapiness for me.. Tapi sedih gak coz xdpt g same2 n shopping kat US same2. Kami bertiga je la. hehehe... Tp xpe, kami tetap mendoakan yg terbaik utk akak.

Well, kat cni dah 3 ari ujan je. Harap2 cpt la matahari akan muncul coz makin rmai kawan2 ku yg menjadi korban di jalan raya. kesian giler, leper dah. Td masa jumpe Kak Zue pun ade sekor yg dah leper.Igt nak amik gmbr masuk kat blog tp xsmp hati. Ari2 tgk gmbr tu nnt confirm sedey je.. So, sebagai memperingati katak2 yg dah terkorban tu, I letak la gmbr2 katak kat blog ni. hehehhe.. Jgn geli tau.. Comey sbnrnye katak ni. Cube tgk betul2...

Comeynye....

always be my second hero. hehehe

Nice outfits eh?

A step ahead

After almost a week from my Hari Raya holiday, now I'm back sitting here in front of my laptop and searching for nothing.. hahaha... my usual routine: checking my inbox email, and blogging. So bored.. Although I have a tones of story to share about Hari Raya, but just forget it first since there were more sad story instead of happy one.. hmmm..

Today, Sabiqah called me from Canada just after I told her that I really need her now. Yeah.. thats what I feel. I really missed all the moment when we were going out together to Wangsa Maju (slalu xigt name kedai tu), chatting and have our favorite corn porridge.. nyam2... After a mere 30 minutes conversation (sesi meluahkan perasaan) baru la rase lega skit. Now I can take a deep breathe, ignored everything in front of me and thinking logically. The conclusion is ikut je jalan yg Allah dah tetapkan ni, jangan rase berbelah bagi. Bkn senang nak dpt peluang belajar cmni. Pedulikan ape orang nak cakap, whatever they prayed for us, although they are so-called apart of important person in my life (maybe not). oh damn.. This is me, and I was born to be ready for anything. Anyway, thanks Sa.. I really appreciate it.

After that, I have a YM conversation with Farisa.. seronok dgr cite they celebrate Hari Raya at Toronto with Malaysian kat sane. meriah je.. n Cik Farisa ni dah digelar Paris (Hilton) di sane kerana kegedikannye. I don't know what she means by that. It's not comes from my tongue, farisa yg cakap snd. heheheh.. Sabar ye sis..

Well, personally I must tell you that my heart is no longer here in Malaysia. I'm too excited and can't wait to leaving for Canada. But for now, there are lots of things to do as a preparation. Farisa said house rental in Ontario in much higher than apartment and it cost me twice since I can't consider room rental. Pretty much if I found an apartment with 1 or 2 bedrooms only and that will cost me around $CAN500. aiiiyyyaa.. farisa also reminds me to have a winter coat, shoes n sock for the winter and I will a little bit stress out to find all these things in Malaysia. Of course the price is higher compared to Canada.

Got to go now. Take care everyone... cau..

7.0 is not reachable

2008-09-25T20:00:00.000-07:00

Today is 26th September 2008, the day which I and Kak Syara waiting for almost 2 weeks. You know what, IELTS result is coming out.... hehhehee...

And finally, I did it after the second time. At the first time I got 6.0 and now it is increased o.5... kire la sendiri berape.. walaupun xdpt 7.0 (kononnye reachable) but I'm glad to have 6.5 in my hand. OMG.. I cant believe it's happened to me. Thanks God.

Sa, waiting for me at Canada.. I'll be there as soon as posible. NY is waiting for us. hahaha

Don't have much to say.. Just thank u. Always believed that well-placed effort is always rewarded and of course practice make perfect. oh yeahhh..

To all, lg 4hari nak raya.. Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir dan Batin. To my bestest friends, raye di perantauan elok2. jangan sedey2...

Take care everyone.. cau..

p/s: Sa, aku dah post kuih tart n i have a little bit surprise inside there. So, watch out.. Tell me when u get it.

Raya punye pasal..

2008-09-23T19:23:00.000-07:00

It's too bad to tell you that all ATMs in UMT are out of service.. and it's too bad for me since I have a long to-do list as a preparation for Hari Raya. Nak tau ape i nak wat? Take a good look at this:

Renew driving license. Actually, it was expired on 28th August 2008 but I never noticed it until my husband remind me about that. aiiiiyyyyaaa... banyak makan semut ke?? Sume lupe daa...
Amik baju raya kat ummi. hmmm..guna duit gak tu.
Tukar tayar kete memandangkan nak jalan jauh untuk balik kg.
Amik karipap mini kat Kak Zue. heheheh.. Kak Zue dah jd interpreneur utk raye ni.. Murah je. 100 bijik only cost u rm7.. promote karipap mini Kak Zue skit.
Nak 20 keping duit rm10 utk duit raya.. Dgr kate hy bank tertentu je yg leh tkr duit. Apelah.. tension tul..

Hmmm.. since the bank has no more money, so I need to postponed all my to-do list until tomorrow. Hope that everything will going well tomorrow..

Cau for now..

Finally,I am a blogger..

2008-09-21T23:55:00.000-07:00

This is the way to kill my boredom in a square ofis. So bored... xde ape nak wat melainkan sitting in front of my laptop n surfing to the internet. So, why not I try to blogging even though tok guru x sempat nak ajar lg. Miss Syara...sori.. I learned it myself. Nak tggu akak lmbt sgt.. dah x sabar nak memblog kan diri ni... But, I'll need your help in terms of to create my layout n so on.. Malu lak nak tulis byk2 kat blog. Xbiase.. hehehehe..

Thats all folks...

C yaa...

P/s: Cik Sabiqah jangan jeles eh.. I pun dah ade blog. hahhahaha.. walawey..
