Ice Prince and Ice Princess...

Ice skating at Katsuyama

Once upon a time in a land called...Sanjo Machi...ermm inilah padahnya apabila suka baca/tengok cerita2 fairytale a.k.a dongeng dan fantasi. But i really enjoyed Disney stories as well as others such as Cindarella, Snow White, Rapunzel, Mermaid..etc..what's ur favourite one? And then cartoon yang moden2 seperti Finding Nemo, Monster Inc, Shreck..etc..pun best jugak.
I bet u can guess from the topic that......we went ice skating yesterday. Yey..akhirnya dapat jugak merasa main ice skating. Before i start my story...let me just recall a bit about my impian nak try out ice skating ni..sebenarnya dah lama since i was a little girl, after i watched ice skating at olympic games. But of course..where can i try that...when i grow up..i heard that ada ice skating at sunway pyramid..tapi tak pernah try out, just watch all those peoples have fun. Kali pertama jejakkan kaki at sunway pyramid, i was scared and shy to try. The second time i went there...ada urusan lain so tak sempat pun menjenguk ke tempat ice skting tu. After that i totally forgot and vanished it out from my mind. After i got married..several time my love and i went to KL but we didn't even drop by there since we went there due to other matter that we need to settle.
My dream kembali after i saw a place for ice skating during Christmas at the park near Mitsukoshi. It is an open place to skate..full of people..one weekend we dropped by and i thought my love wanted to try it out with me skali my love tak nak..huu i dont want to play and fall alone..i need him..i want to have a memorable ice skating tryout with him and not just by myself... and then once again hancur luluh my dream. My love had a...not so good experience with roller blade so he assume that he will have the same one with ice skating..since the concept is the same cuma yang tu atas jalan yang ni plak atas ice...
Harapan ku kembali bersinar after we went bowling with Malaysian student coz i saw at the same place with the same owner (i guess) there is skating club..wow wiii..i like..the next process is invite love to play together with me...susah juga..but at last love agreed..yey..alhamdulillah so we decided to try it out yesterday...we paid 1200 yen plus 500 yen (for shoes) per person and can play as long as we like..of course we cant play it all day since we need to pray but we did use all the time that we have. After paying and take the shoes..we went inside..wheww..sejuknya..nasib baik dah pakai down siap2..and we saw a lot of people...they provide chair and cone untuk hold on to while playing...wah seronoknya..we changed our shoes...and walked slowly the the ice area. Selepas itu bermulalah saat berpegangan di border of the place..memang tak lepas ni..we were trying reallu hard to balance our body. We cant hold on to each other..nanti both of us will fall. After that we took the cones..semua kerusi budak2 pakai so terpaksa guna cone tu..we tried to get the flow, the rhythm and after we are confident enough we let it go. After that slowly we can manage to control and move smoother..erm..masa mula2 nak balancing ni sangat berhati2 and we didn't fell. Tapi bila dah boleh laju2 sket we had a problem to stop or brake..and we fell several times..adeii..sakit jugak..but we really enjoyed ourselves yesterday. I asked love which did he enjoyed..ski, snowboard or ice skating and he said definitely ice skating...dalam hati..i said to myself (told ya so we will enjoy this...hehe) and i'm glad my love change his mind from no ice skating to yes ice skating. As usual tak sah kalau tak posing2 so here are some pictures that we captured during ice skating.

beginners...balancing..

masa ni dah teror sket..macam2 posing..ala2 menari pun ada..ballroom dance hehe..

huu takmo balik..tapi dah penat and i think we fell coz we are tired

ye ker tired..padahal cover hehe ..it was fun..and kalau ada masa lapang for sure we will go there again. The end... :-)

Dementia Test

Received an email from my long lost junior..Ayu..last time i used to call her Ayuwuhuu..coz its her email's name..cute..i have many fun and happy memories with Ayu. Quite sad coz i cant attend her wedding last year. But i'm happy coz she showed me how beautiful she was on her wedding day. Erm..we used to spend lots of time together..tak kering gusi dgn si Ayu ni mcm2 stories, gossips, nicknames yang kitaorg reka..memang besh la..ada je benda or stuff for us to discuss...satu kepala..
Later around 3.30 pm i will use SEM, i've prepared my sample..instead of reading articles or browsing more papers..i ended up reading and forwarding emails, and suddenly feels like blogging..takpe la skali skala..by the time i wrote this my love tgh lunch with the guys at Zamzam i have no idea at all where is that place. Kalau besh bleh la bawa i plak next time hehe. Here is the email forwarded by Ayu...

Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As we grow older, it's important to keep mentally alert. If you don't use it, you lose it! Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of intelligence.
Take the test presented here to determine if you're losing it or not. The spaces below are so you don't see the answers until you've made your answer.
OK, relax, clear your mind and begin.

1. What do you put in a toaster?

Answer: 'bread.' If you said 'toast,' give up now and do something else.
Try not to hurt yourself. If you said, bread, go to Question 2.



2. Say 'silk' five times. Now spell 'silk.' What do cows drink?





Answer: Cows drink water. If you said 'milk,' don't attempt the next question. Your brain is over-stressed and may even overheat.. Content yourself with reading a more appropriate literature such as Auto World. However, if you said 'water', proceed to question 3

3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is made from black bricks, what is a green house made from?




Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said 'green bricks,' why the hell are you still reading these???
If you said 'glass,' go on to Question 4




4. It's twenty years ago, and a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over Germany (If you will recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany .) Anyway, during the flight, two engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the engine fails before he can do so and the plane fatally crashes smack in the middle of 'no man's land' between East Germany and West Germany . Where would you bury the survivors? East Germany, West Germany , or no man's land'?






Answer: You don't bury survivors.
If you said ANYTHING else, you're a dunce and you must stop. If you said, 'You don't bury survivors', proceed to the next question.



5. Without using a calculator - You are driving a bus from London to Milford Haven in Wales .. In London , 17 people get on the bus. In Reading , six people get off the bus and nine people get on. In Swindon , two people get off and four get on. In Cardiff , 1 1 people get off and 16 people get on. In Swansea , three people get off and five people get on . In Carmathen, six people get off and three get on. You then arrive at Milford Haven.
What was the name of the bus driver?

Answer: Oh, for crying out loud!
Don't you re member your own name? It was YOU!!

Well guys how was it? btw..i'm sure Nini model pass it with flying colors since now she is 'educated and specky' hehe. Guwau jer tau.. Dearie Ayuwuhuu keep sending me nice and fun emails k. Tried to find pictures of Ayu n me but it's not in my current collection. Nak kena buka balik buku lama, dunno if it's still there since my laptop corrupt after my Msc.

Nichiyoubi...

our lunch for today

Kore wa nan nichiyoubi? Nichiyuobi wa Sunday desu..hehe..itu jer la yang tahu, ayat-ayat basic. More complex sentence, i don't know..maybe sooner or later..hopefully..Usually on Sunday we just stay at home, resting or shopping stock makanan or went out for sightseeing. But today..erm..way far from our usual chores..by the time i write this post it is nearly 11.30 pm i'm alone in the lab..waiting for my sample..while love is busy writing some sort proposal...this is our fisrt time balik lambat..and masuk lab on Sunday. Everybody has gone home including Fukumura sensei..huu..there's another 3 scan and i can't wait to go home..tak sabar nak balik rest. Usually before eating breakfast/lunch/dinner..i just setup the table and eat but today feels like taking picture of my lunch..he..hari ni my love and i makan our favourite dish, sambal paru..nyum2..and another lauk is ayam goreng kunyit..menu simple2 jer...plus we r also in a rush to campus. Everyday other day pun rushing pergi campus that's why i really love to receive a simple recipe..a.k.a fast cooking....Yang extra dish tu pancake that we had for breakfast..buat banyak so bawa bekal untuk tea break today..biasala..petang2 mesti lapar and want to munch something...i'm soo tired..finished my measurement..i wanna go home..yey..

Penilaian Pensyarah...

Yesterday i received a buzz from Zul (dia ni hampir nak jadi peserta akademi fanta'sia..hehe jgn marah eh zul) berbunyi "aniss ko dah check email lum?" I was like huh..email? So I replied his ym and ask him what's the matter. Is there any unfinished job at the depertment which i should complete it before coming here? huhu cuak jugak. Buka la email umt and then i noticed a link to penilaian pensyarah...zul pun replied again.."penilaian pensyarah dah kuwa..ko dpt baper? aku baik je." I link to the file (dlm hati risau kut2 dpt memuaskan) alhamdulillah baik takpe la tak cemerlang pun..i'll try again bila dah balik mesia nanti hehe.

Matsushima

parking at Katahira campus

ermm..not about my lab mate Matsushima-san, bukan tokok tambah nama my friend..Shima d Tganu hehe..but it's one of the famous place for sight seeing in Miyagi malah one of the most visited place in Japan..(menurut Mori-san). Masa mula-mula sampai sini dulu Mori-san dah rekemen pergi Matsushima...masa tu sibuk nak settle down, kelas, lab, seminar..macam2 la plus both of us belum mahir dgn selok belok Sendai ni apatah lagi di luar Sendai. Tempat ni tepi laut..tapi tak ada pantai berpasir macam Malaysia..cuma ada banyak batu2 besar and japanese people really love this place untuk vacation tapi kesian tak boleh nak mandi manda and bersiar2 like our beach. Last January love ada seminar di Matsushima so my love and his gengster.. oppss..kawan2 satu department hehe..went together by densya (train). So my love dah tahu selok belok ke Matsushima and he promised to bring me there one day. I forgot for awhile about Matsushima...busy with lab..etc..and suddenly out of blue last Friday my love telah memberi cadangan pergi ke Matsushima..jalan2 release tension..kalau ikutkan nak jer pergi on Saturday but as usual Saturday masuk campus. Sunday morning after breakfast duk bermalas-malasan depan tv...erm..macam mana ni jadi ke kita ke Matsushima? Jadi jerla alang2 dah buat plan pastu bersiap cepat2 and off we go...parking kat sini semua berbayar and expensive nasib baik parking sekarang free sebab stay at Tohoku Univ house..Mori-san told us satu2nya parking free di bandar adalah di Katahira campus tapi kena jalan jauh jugak la..tapi takpe we used to walk a lot last time during ulang alik dgn bas. So parking free punya pasal we parked at that place and walk to Sendai station.
From that car park it took us about..maybe 15 minutes to Sendai station. Post surat jap and pergi beli tiket...tapi sesat..my love lupa which way to go down to the JR train to Matsushima last2 pilih untuk naik di Aoba Dori next to Sendai station. Harga tiket pergi balik 800 yen per person, ambil train route ke Ishinomaki (last stop) and Matsushima (2nd last stop). It took about 35 minutes by densya to Matsushima. Alhamdulillah panas tapi masih lagi sejuk. huu.. Our first visit is the temple..tak masuk pun dalam temple just viewing the garden..very nice garden.. nak masuk temple bayar 700 yen..huhu sama mahal tiket return train. Lagipun ada apa sangat kat dalam temple tu..tak menarik rasanya..pusing2 viewing garden yang sangat menyamankan itu we went to buy ticket for sightseeing pulau2 kecil around Matsushima. While waiting for the boat we went to see other garden and small temple..ada dua jambatan which connects to smaller islands..one is short and the other one is a bit far...so we went to the first one and enjoying the view and of course snap some pictures.

garden at Zuiganji Temple

around Matsushima..jetty and bridge-1

After that..we went boat sightseeing..yang peliknya tengok nearly everybody bawa prawn snack ala2 double decker perisa udang tu hehe..rupa2nya after bot jalan ada gruop of birds will follow and the tourist akan baling snack tu..seronok sangat see that bird up close..macam2 ragam those birds are very tame siap datang ngap kat tangan and kalau jatuh dlm air siap turun berebut2 to grab that snack..ishh canggih burung makan "cikedis" hehe..erm..walaupun japanese and other foreigner really love the view..(and of course we also love it too) tapi sayang the beach doesnt have sand kalau ada pun sikit sangat..full with rocks...but the best part boleh tgk ternak oyster.. kewl..

boat cruising with the birds.. :-)

Next visit is the second bridge..a bit far from 1st bridge while walking my love and i discussed if the entrance is expensive we wont go there walaupun dah sampai di depan gate jambatan..nasib baik 200 yen..not as expensive as we thought. Nampak macam jauh sangat tapi bila jalan and enjoying the view sekejap je dah sampai. At that island there is some spot..to sit down..ada tangga nak turun ke pantai yang pasirnya sikit and comot..but my love and i enjoy it..and at that time tiba2 teringat masa masuk hutan di BTN US dulu..pusing2..and bila tengok peta there is one more place to go which is "aquarium" so we imagine penuh dengan ikan etc..the best part is on our way back..we notice the same bird from the boat cruise..jinak sangat..dia duduk diam je so i approached it..and ask love to snap a picture..geram..so cute..bersih jer..nak pegang takut..makin dekat dia jalan makin jauh..and suddenly i got an idea..memandangkan this bird is foodlistik so i took out our bekal and take out the cake and show it to the bird..terkejut..cepat2 dia datang sambar...i gave 2 cubit jer..banyak2 nanti tuan punya bekal tak cukup makan hehe..i really enjoy that moment..

bridge-2 and the small island

here..birdy

"Aquarium" ..we dont really know the real name since in the map it is written like that..nasib baik boleh guna student card so dapat tiket murah and..it is the only place in Matsushima where we can use student id for discount ticket..huhu..unfortunately bateri camera dah habis and we manage to snap one with Mr. Seal yang chumel hehe..the rest there were mr pingu, mr beaver, lots of fish species..octopus, mr crabby crab, jellyfish..dolphin..croco..erm banyak sangat..my love and i really enjoy that place..since our camera is just kamera biasa so the view that i tried to share is limited..so we end up took each other's picture a lot..hehe..i guess that's all for now time is limited and here are some pictures...to share..

last picture of the day

For someone..somewhere..in Edmonton!

Today is March 14, 2009 (in Sendai). What is so special about this day? Not all people know why..only the chosen one may know i suppose so..hehe..Happy birthday to dearest Cik Sabiqah...di Edmonton. I dont know what she's doing right now...I guess by the time i write this post,it is maybe around 11.++ pm..and it is still March 13 at her place...maybe she's sleeping..or doing her lab work or outing with her friends or maybe waiting for a surprise from her family..housemates..or maybe someone special? What ever she's doing right now, i just hope she's enjoying her day of being one year older..hehe..may success be with u alwiz and may u find your prince charming soon..

Riadah??

Bowling..malaysian team..ehehe..

Yesterday was love's birthday..today is someone's birthday...Happy Birthday my dearie Fadhilah, semoga sentiasa diberkati dan dirahmati oleh-Nya...sowi takder hadiah, belated present k..hehe. Hopefully u will enjoy ur day with ur dearest friends or dearest one...wedding wishes plak..
Selamat Pengantin Baru buat Puan Syara..semoga berbahagia ke anak cucu...sorry cant make it to ur wedding (07 March 2009)...hadiah wedding posto ke Ireland ker? Pesan kat Ila jer la hehe... cant wait to see your wedding pictures..been through that moment and it is a very wonderful moment and for sure an unforgettable one..I dont know when is your akad nikah, whether the day before or on the same day.. tapi..sewaktu syara dah sah bergelar seorang isteri ataupun tengah dupdap dupdap menanti hari bahagia or maybe she's enjoying her last bachelorette's night...my love and i pergi beriadah..hehe.. is bowling one of riadah?hmm i wonder..
Friday..8pm..love received a call from Akmal..maybe sounds sort of.."Jom bowling dengan budak2 ni..dalam kul 9 kitaorg main". Masa tu I just came back from my outing with Mori-san, Love haven' decided and kebetulan on that day kena balik awal from campus since we ordered halal food from internet, we waited until 8.30 pm..(tapi until today tak sampai2..kena pergi majumder jugak la nampak gayanya..huhu)..so love decided to join them..i ikut aja.. tapi kalau pergi ice skating lagi seronok..maybe next time for that..tapi apa salahnya gather with them and at the same time can release our tension..and it did, hehe tapi penat la jugak..tak pernah2 main 4 game in a row huhu.
I'm not good at bowling..sangat2 tidak pandai..tried it twice during my study time tapi gitu2 jer masuk longkang almost all the time..and i forgot about it for awhile sehingga bertemu cinta hati ku ini di UMT. Ada tournament bowling anjuran Mutiara i'm in the same group with love.. last minute..disebabkan tak cukup korum i telah diheret oleh Che Imran utk join group dia..at that time very few people know about my relationship with love...so masa main tu malu2 and cover2 gitu duduk pun jauh2 jer..those old days...and after that there are several tournaments but i just joined it once since i am a terrible player and the rest of it just jadi pom2 girl supporting my love...my love ni sangat suka main bowling..its erm..quite irresistible to him...sebab tu dia seronok bila bro akmal ajak main bowling.
The place is Katsuyama bowling..dekat jer dengan kaikan, kat situ ada internet, ice skating, bowling and also supermarket Seiyu (nasib baik bukan sinyu kawan Miss Sa tu hehe). Besar la jugak...this is our first time there, if they didnt invited us..we wouldn't know the existence of that place... Khas buat Che Imran (bakal ayah) and Apok (kaki bowling-setelah dihasut oleh Che Imran..hehe)..bukan apa both of them ni memang sangat suka bermain bowling sampai hampir every night main bowling d stadium Gong Badak iteww siap q lagi tunggu giliran..and before we come here sempat la outing with them...my love still remember che imran said, "nanti tak boleh main bowling dah..ntah ada ntah tidak bowling kat sendai nun"(of course setelah ditranslate from klate to bm)..hehe..rupa-rupanya kat sini pun ada bowling jugak..besar dan besh..bayar about 1000 yen..main la sampai bowling ni tutup..unlimited, sewa kasut plak very systematic dia letak dalam locker banyak2 mengikut saiz..so just go to the desired size and put in coins 300 yen ambil kasut..after main just put it inside the box provided. Bola plak kena simpan balik kat tempat asal and dia susun mengikut saiz..kalau kat tganu dulu bersepah2 nak cari desired size dr hujung sini ke hujung sana cari huhu..

dah penat main..yey..supper at saize

Surprisingly, i can play that night..meaning..just one 'longkang' and the rest hit the pin eventhough tak strike..in my lane, i played with Love, Naex and Akmal..i dpat no.3 usually i will gain the lowest score but that night banyak kali jugak dapat jatuhkan 10 pin hehe..i like..boleh la main lagi lepas ni..but i'm really looking forward for ice skating...
after bowling, we had supper at saizeriya..yummy...but we didnt snap any pictures..tired plus ngantuk and ralit berbual. This is our first time balik lambat..gosh we went back around 1 plus.. the next day nagntuk2 nak pergi lab hehe..but we did enjoy the outing with them...thanks guys.

Happy Birthday LOVE...

Today is my love's birthday..he's 27...kami dah sebaya..yey..but just for a few months until July. Well age is just a number rite?..Sejak zaman bercinta lagi selalu imagine nak surprise my love on he's birthday or other occasion...last month i thought of baking cake on his birthday..but we dont have oven, i am not really good at cooking esp..kari, kurma, masak lemak cili api, kuzi..dan yang sewaktu dengannya erm.. i did keep on trying to improve my cooking...hehe..but i love baking cake, biscuits..etc..biasa klu time raya perkara wajib at my house is chocolate cake and it is my annual chores..macam telah tertulis..termaktub..that i have to bake at least one chocolate cake..ala tapi chocolate cake kampung jer tak grand and sesedap kedai but at least my love and family enjoy eating the cake.
Last valentine, Mori-san and Ishida-san made something..there are only 3 females in the lab.. Mori-san baked a chocolate cake which looks really nice and taste really good (mcm kat kedai) and Ishida-san made sort of brownies and also delicious..which makes me..the only female who didn't do anything hehe..mana nak tahu valentine kena masak2 macam tu..but i dont think i will cook for next year's valentine..busy with experiment (alasan je tu..).. erm..malas la nanti confirm tak sedap..
Whomever familiar with desperate housewives...can imagined what i'm writing...i would describe Mori-san as Bree (played by Marcia Cross)..she's such a perfectionist..pantang nampak senget sikit susunan..or sliding tutup tak rapat..rambut kena sentiasa kemas..baju tak boleh terlipat sikit...she's just like Bree...So when i look at her cake..tiba2 terlintas nak buat that cake for my love..so i asked her about the recipe..she said she will give me and even borrowed me her scale and mixer..berbunga-bunga la hati ini..coz this is the first time nak try recipe cam ala2 kedai kek gitu..recipe orang puntihs..bley tak panggil gitu..TETAPI..huu tak kesampaian..maybe it's sort of family recipe so confidential la kuts..and Mori-san cari dalam internet sebagai ganti..you will see the outcome later..it's very terrible..huu..and then last Friday keluarlah kami berdua untuk mencari bahan and also alat2 untuk buat cake coz satu benda poms i tak ada...tak boleh nak buat surprise pun..takkan nak tipu my love konon nak beli benda lain..of course he will see all the things i buy. So he knows that i'm making cake on his birthday..
We went to 100yen shop..(as usual pergi kedai paling murah nak cari barang..hehe) and then to Daiei to buy the ingredients..on the way to Daiei..Mori-san ajak i masuk kedai game ni..ala..yang masuk coin and try to grab what you want tu..ada yang paling murah, put in 100 yen and try to grab the chocs as many as u can..banyak kali Mori-san try unfortunately she only got one.... but Mori-san really want me to try..at first tak nak but she seems really hoping so i tried..hehe..as i expected..tak dapat langsung..tapi takperla..and suddenly i saw this machine yang ambil gambar buat sticker..erm..dah lama tak masuk dlm kotak ni and ambil gambar..last time masa zaman muda-mudi dulu ketika di UTM Skudai with my coursemate..tapi this one is really big and lots of function..skali i plak beria2 ajak Mori-san untuk ambil gambr dalam tu..coz i know kalau ajak my love..mesti dia tak nak hehe..Mori-san was quite surprise tapi dia plak tetiba beria-ria she choose one machine and tengok cermin and started to betul2kan her hair, baju..etc..semua aksi Mori-san ala2 sopan santun gitu (just like Bree) and me...semua ala2 ceria..funky..etc..check out the photos..kelakar.. Mori-san did all the editing with names..cartoons..hairbands..etc.. After that at Daiei..i saw the same chocs that Mori-san tried to grab at the machine.. 100yen for 10-12 pieces..apa lagi terus ambil..i paid 100yen and got nothing at that game parlor? betul ker parlor "suka suki je (style Ila)"...

camera..rolling..action..

chocs..yang Mori-san tried to grab..oishii and cute patut la dia suka sangat

Ok..move on to birthday love..start buat cake yesterday evening..kalau ikut recipe kena start cooking on saturday since i have to leave the cake for one night takper la hantam saja hehe..tapi terdelay coz pagi tu baru beli oven (yey akhirnya dapat jugak beli microwave oven) and then masuk campus jap balik rumah pasang oven baru..and then i started to make the cake...i wish to myself..hopefully everything will goes well..i want to make it a memorable one..first part is done..tapi macam 'kureng' je..tapi takpelah asalkan nampak rupa kek hehe..kena stop jap coz we planned to visit April..our indonesian friend..we want to see her house..since she will move out, and we have to move from kaikan too so we need to find a nice and cheap house. Lama jugak di ruma April, her house is old fashioned but just nice and reasonable..we are considering but she will move out in May and we have to move out from kaikan by September..hmm..kalau keluar awal rugi..coz kaikan is very cheap..tapi kalau tak start sewa awal nanti tak dapat cari rumah..huu we are confused..apa pun we must try to nego with the owner and we really need to bring a translater.
Arrived home around 9 pm..cook dinner..since we have oven, so we tried roast beef, resipi Kak Dhi di Valladolid..simple and easy renjis2 jer rempah pastu masuk oven..and it is oishii..thanks Kak Dhi...pastu sambung buat cake topping..my love tengah khusyuk tgk movie at Channel BS2 so i finished up my job and decorate it and put it inside the oven..sorok from love..hehe..by the time i finished, it is about 11.15 pm..hmm tired and sleepy..i force my self to wait until 12 midnight...watch tv and borak2 dengan love..and tepat jam 12 i wished him Happy Birthday and setup the cake..boh of us dah ngantuk..tapi sempat lagi untuk posing. Hadiah dah beli via internet tapi tak sampai2 lagi huhu..belated birthday present la nampak gayanya..sabar eh love...Alhamdulillah love cakap sedap..tapi i rasa macam erm..entahla he....previous recipe is better huhu..ada masa nanti nak try buat lagi..maybe cheese cake..or recipe Kak Su ke..(Kak Su ia very marvellous in cooking-all type of foods) tabik spring..sponge cake, pizza, roti..huu berangan..entah bila la boleh buat ni..kena berguru dengan Kak Su dulu..hehe.. takperla bak kata Alice in wonderkingston..one step at a time..

excited...ada bakat untuk jadi model jam.. ;-)

(11th March 2009)

Love's present arrived safely yesterday (10.03.09), came back from campus..both of us are so eager to check the mail box..while walking i was really hoping that it has arrived and it did..yey..it seems i'm the one who is over excited about it instead of love..hehe..tapi dia pun seronok jugak coz lama betul belek2 present tu even masa makan,..duk tilik lagi hehe..several months ago when we just arrived here love's swatch rosak (love has 2 watches, 1-swatch, 1-hantaran), yang swatch ni untuk harian and hantaran for outing or formal wear. Seems that jam hantaran tu a bit loose and it's not very comfortable for him to wear it daily so it just came to my mind to find him another watch and he seems to be a fan of swatch so i bought another swatch for him. At first nak cari sekitar Sendai..but before that i tried to browse through the model/collection at the internet and coincidentally i found one, when i look at it my instinct says that love will definitely love this one..harga pun reasonable and it is purely Swiss made, and as i expected he did..he really3 likes it...fuhh lega..hari ni ada orang tu bergaya dengan jam baru..hehe..

International Party..

with my love

We were invited to a party..for international student. Yesterday i have to attend 2 parties, one is the International Party and the other one is Dept of Chem party. But i only choose one since my love cant join me in the 2nd party since he is in Dept of Maths. For the Int Party, every sensei yang ada international student/s must bring their student and introduce to whomever they know. Takde la best mana party tu biasa2 je..On monday Fukumura sensei reminded me about the party and i asked him about the dress code. He said not too formal but not casual..means..no jeans..ish my love and i tak biasa pergi party macam ni..biasa dinner standard la baju batik..so i asked Mori-san usually kat sini pakai macam mana pergi party. and she said suit..nasib baik la bawa satu suit..and my love yang dah sekian lama tak pakai kemeja and slack kena pakai la smalam. Skima habis la both of us.
We didnt know the way to the hotel so i kinda suggested to Fukumura sensei why dont he come with us..tapi malu la plak naik kete antik sket kalau nak dibandingkan dgn mazda sport 2 pintu dia tu huhu..so he said meet at his room at 5 pm. The party will start at 6 pm. Smalam pergi kampus macam biasa tapi around 4 pm dah balik untuk bersiap2..and we arrived on time. When he headed to the car..Fukumura sensei mention that he will go with cab and we can go with him but he wont be long at that party since he must attend the other party..we were quite confused and sunddenly he snap..and said.."u guys wanted to go with car because u dont drink right..oo this is great..then just follow me to my house i'll park my car and go with you"..erkk at last baru la faham..yesterday night my love ask me are we going together in one car or follow his car. I already told Fukumura sensei maybe we can go together with our car bu i didnt get a clear answer he kept mentioning cab..huu takper la maybe i didnt understand..rupa-rupanya he will drink at the party and of coz la dont drink and drive..no wonder dia macam pelik why we are insisted to go by car.
So folo la dia back to his apt. Very near from campus. When he parked his car my love cari tempat untuk u-turn alih2 dia dah ada tepi pintu..tak sempat i nak keluar and let him seat in front. huu dia memang jalan laju..selalu kena lari kejar dia if i want to keep up with him. He sat at the back and suddenly ask..do you have navigator..huhu mana la ada navi kete antik kami ni..so tersengih la jawab..no..and he said its ok..and start to give direction. Bila sampai satu traffic light ni..we are heading to the right and dah stay in the right lane..usually kat mesia once traffic light hijau or nak hijau baru bagi signal..biasa la org jepun kan skima so Fukumura sensei mentioning about indicator..u should give indicator..my love and i ni fikirla..apa la indicator ni..rupa-rupanya signal..huu mana biasa sebut indicator..so we turn on the signal walaupun lampu masih merah and line masih panjang di depan..kena praktis..sebab tak lama lagi nak amek lesen jepun.
Dah sampai hotel..parking at basement..wah..my sensei siap puji lagi the way love drive.."very good driving skill"..i turut rasa tempiasnya..ehehe..

with my dearest sensei

We headed to level 3, register ambil sort of ribbon and masuk..met a few professors and nampak la geng mesia..nafis, fadhil, achoo and ab a.k.a kak ab. Huhu penat jer pakai skima2 ramai jer student with their jeans and casual wear, takperla kena jaga jugak air muka sensei kan..kan.. Party ni biasa2 jer..ada meja2 pastu makanan kat tengah, tak ada kerusi..'nada'(ala2 cite spanyol)..makan berdiri..huu..tapi yang best siap ada sudut makanan halal for muslim..bagus2 i like..tapi tak banyak sangat pilihan..but it is still ok..Boss tohoku univ bagi ucapan and derang ada toast..yang angkat gelas tu..my love and i angkat la sket tapi tak laga2 gelas cheers tu..not really into it..and then makan time. Fukumura sensei didnt eat dia bergegas untuk ke next party which start at the same time..after bid farewell to both of us he headed out to take the cab. Ada persembahan sket but we didnt even bother..food is more interesting..borak2 dgn diaorg and when we are full say goodbye and headed home..penat..berdiri..hehe..

Fadhil, Nafis and Achoo..

Before the party start we met this Bangladesh guy from Kawauchi campus if i'm not mistaken. He is sooo funny..his accent and the way he talk..siap tak percaya we are legally married dia ingat we lied during application in order to get thru to family house. We were confused he said it's hard for him to bring his wife and suddenly My love saja acah you can find many japanese girl here and he started bercerita pasal japanese gilfren..huh?!! tadi cakap susah nak bawa wifey huhu..maybe silap dengar agaknya.. he did tried several relationships with japs girl..he said "at first it was ok but after that boring..they are not romantic and like robot, sumimase, sumimasen and always baito, baiti, baito" dengan gaya and lenggok badan dia..mata siap terbalik2..hu..we just cant stop loughing sampai sakit perut huhu..lepas tu lesap ntah ke mana tak sempat ambil gambar kalau tak boleh tunjuk he..

Zoo...

2 in 1. The first plan was to practice driving around Sendai..sebab tak lama lagi international license is not valid anymore and we have to take Japanese license. Alang2 practice i ajak love ke zoo..he..Dah lama sebenarnya nak ke tempat ni..i love animals and i was hoping ada panda bear..teringin sangat nak tengok in real. But there is no panda bear...red panda ada la..a bit smaller and totally different. It was a cold day..animals pun tak berapa aktif and we just snap some pictures. And then lupa nak charge battery so we only manage to snap some of it. Luckily there is one attraction..polar bear..hiperaktif and tak duduk diam and really knows how to attract people..sooo adorable..sampai sekarang pun masih teringat2 lagi aksi polar bear tu...dulu pernah ke zoo johor..when i studied in UTM tapi tak banyak haiwan and kesian tgk haiwan tu terbiar and kotor..huhu...ok back to the story...
After zuhur we headed out from home..biasa la panaskan kete dulu..last time it was full with snow..so limited nak ambil gambar kereta..so today we took some more pictures of the car..tapi comot sikit..
The zoo is called Yagiyama Zoo..dekat sangat2 from campus..so ambil same route to campus atas sket dari Faculty of Engineering around 20 mins dah sampai. Memula pening gak nak cari coz nampak signboard tapi dia tak tunjuk pun exact location of the zoo..kiri or kanan. Nampak ada small theme park near a traffic light but we just cant figure out where is the zoo..terlajak la pulak..so terpaksa cari somewhere untuk u-turn..kat sini susah nak cari tempat for u-turn coz of rumah n bangunan yang padat2 kena cari kombini shop baru ada space parking and boleh u-turn..once dah u turn and pergi balik kat traffic light tadi and nampak zoo tu sebelah theme park tu jer..huhu..entrance tak nampak macam zoo pun..cover line la tu..nasib baik ada tempat parking and off to the zoo.
This is my love's first time pergi zoo. I pernah la jugak jejakkan kaki ke zoo yang hampeh itu suatu masa dulu..so i am expecting this will be much more better..rasanya ok la jugak zoo ni..luas..bersih..tapi tak byk sangat animals..lagi satu most of the animals bermalas-malasan coz of the cold weather.takpe2 nanti musim bunga or panas pegi lagi..tgk macam mana karakter haiwan2 ni...dekat jer..anytime boleh datang.

some of the view

Yang kelakar masa tengok mr hippo a.k.a blue hyppo tmnet tu..besarnyer yg amat..pastu membelakangi visitors..dia duk sondol2 pintu..nak masuk..sejuk agaknya..tak tahan duk luar..we waited several minutes nak tengok muka dia..duk tang tu jugak..at last malas nak tunggu so we move on to other animals. Yang ada potensi untuk jadi model (camera friendly) goes to pingu and polar bear..pingu posing sisi, jeling2 and came nearer to the gate..yg polar plak tak benti2 beraksi..(action kamen sin chan miss sa..he)

kawaii polar bear

The other unforgettable would be Mr elephant...soooo okii n smart..pandai dia follow instruction and look very tame especially female..yg male tu degil sket..tapi kami cuma tengok dari cermin..not really up close..yerla dibuatnya naik minyak..huu kaki dia yang besar dan lebar tu kalau pijak mau patang tulang belakang.
I am really glad my love seems to enjoy it..igntkan dia ni tak suka haiwan..rupa-rupanya excited and "ralit" jugak dia tengok..i'm totally surprised. Kaki and tangan dah sejuk..rasa dah tawaf satu zoo..kalau belum maybe next time..we are really tired and sooo cold..plus nanti tak sempat nak solat asar.
We headed home around 3 plus..ingt nak singgah theme park..entrace fee pun dah mahal..nak main kena bayar lagi huhu..some other time la nampak gayanya..balik plak silap amek jalan jauh siap jumpa jalan shortcut exit highway ke Yamagata..mcm nak pergi ski/snowboard jer ni hehe..tapi klu nak lalu next time kompem tak ignt. Singgah Seiyu beli makanan sket and balik.. i really enjoyed my kelas memandu that day...
