It has been 4 years I left the study desk and now I am fully at desk munching materials that I supposed to munch 4 years ago (how fool I was at that time...sigh**). I just had my drilling too much and I think I would go for another subject tomorrow. This morning we had session with SHELL on FDP project...very interesting, I like it as it gave me the actual picture of subsurface team on a project, However, I still don't get the true life of PETROLEUM ENGINEER onhand.
There will be 4 subjects for the exams. I'll be sitting separately from mr hubby as i think it's good, pressure for me to see him because he is very struggling with the subjects (asyik study ajer pehtu dengki2 kt org pulak...grrr)..I just going to recover from my bad 2 days flu, fever and cough...which I haven't had time to study as i feel very sore these three days..hopefully I am still can remember what've studied or heard in the class before because I don't to push so hard or else I'll become tyrant at home...hahha..
Being a wife cum mom cum student is very big challenge for me.Frankly, I do not have sufficient time to study at full fuel.I only make use the time at school, and after class as I send my son to nursery from 8.30 to 5.30. Weekend is very hard and at home, due to cold weather, I can't concentrate very well on the material.But I did try to ensure that i cover everything in the course notes or i'll regret it later (this is my practice eversince!). I really hope i can study hard like mr hubby but I can't because everytime i push so hard, I became headache like a big bump on my head.
My expectation is above average, as usual, I expect more but realistic to what I have struggle for and what i believe.I believe in faith in everyday prayer.I believe in God that He will help me in anyway whenever I find difficulties.That is my strongest belief ever.I don't compete with mr hubby or friends, i do it for my personal achievement and happy if everyone score with flying colors..I really hope I'll be among them...AMeen...

Short Update
Have been very occupied with classes and studies lately. Exam is coming in 3 weeks time. Hopefully i can do it very well with the hurdles i am facing here right now.
Aqil was caught with fever+cough+flu last two weeks which made him very uneasy and stressed. He cried whenever we left him at the nursery. Even after he was already cured, he was still grumpy and it took a week for him to restart his mood for school. Now, he is ok with that and very cheerful in which he received lots of stickers from his teachers for good behavior at nursery.
My study is coming to the finale where exam is around the corner. My body is always aching since i carry Aqil morning and evening back and forth to and from his nursery 5 days a week. Imagine that, I've to carry him and run to get on the bus or else have to wait for another one. There was sometimes I feel like my joint is separating and I could not hold the weight anymore which I feel like crying. Aqil just doesn't have strong chemistry with his dad and he doesn't want him to carry him If i'm there. Dad refused to send or pick up Aqil alone and I HAVE to follow and the ache is always there everyday non-stop. I only can wish for good health from GOD.
We planned to buy a car for bringing back home. We did test drive a car but, at the end we have to cancel the deal as Mr Hubby did not like the old engine the car is having. For myself, I'm more esctatic, there were dents and chips at the exterior. So, in conclusion, we are still looking for a nice car with an attractive price of course. I wish we will find one.
Scared Aqil...
We went to Deep Sea World this morning and happy to linger around with other Malaysian.BEST! Eventhough the Deep Sea World is not that exciting. I think, AQUARIA is much better and CHEAPER of course. I'll definitely will go and visit AQUARIA straight away after returning home. At Deep Sea World which is located just 20 minutes from my place, we watch shark feeding.That is my first time seeing live shark live in an aquarium.I get to see the seal which I believed the same as I saw at the North sea beaches during my field trip visit, the COMMON SEAL. I did not see the frog because I don't like them though..GELI!!!
Aqil With his doughnut...
Now, I'm begging for a nice swatch watch from Mr Hubby for exam purposes. I hope we will granted that.I don't care whether it is a used one or where he bought but i really need one and i want SWATCH made. I kept saying this to him from Malaysia and currently I am actually quite dissapointed since he did not take seriously on my request....

Registration Day
We went to Heriot Watt early in the morning together with our beloved son. We have to bring him as we couldn't get anyone to take care of him for that time being. We preferred offer instead of asking for help. Therefore, we just bring him over to our registration day and wished he behaved well that day.
We went to our uni by bus. From Kak Yani's, it just took us 7-8 minutes to arrive. All the briefing was attended by Mr Hubby as it seems unappropriate to bring kid in.I just waited at the entrance with Aqil. The staffs also recognise me as they passed through me to get to the briefing room. We were given a key to enter the classroom building and a set of stationery like calculator, writing pad and guidance book.
Since Aqil didn't want his dad to carry him, I had to carry him from 9 to 4pm.It was really tiring and all I can do was wishing that I got full strength in the ramadhan to get through the day and Alhamdulillah, with the inner courage that I have, I managed to get through that day.
The messy thing happened during the matriculation card processing. We had problem with the medical registration (they just didn't see me carrying a cranky boy because it was late afternoon, most kids are getting restless...the staff consumed my time and i just passed the dental registration as being pushed by Mr Hubby (he is very pushy here).We went back home straight after that.
The next day, I stayed at home and missed the class. Anyway, Mr Hubby brought back 2 bagfull of lecture notes. Seeing the bulky notes, I wonder how I am going to get through all of that with the limitations and difficulties that I am facing here...

Continuation....
We rested to release our bodyache throughout the night. Luckily my son easily adapted with the situation. The next day, we started our house hunting. We waited at the said location but the agent did not appear (this was flat leased under university student welfare, quiet frustrating!!!). However, we did not feel to much frustrated because i don't really like the surrounding eventhough the house is really close to the bus stop and just take 5-7 minutes on the bus to the campus. After waiting for an hour (nearly!), we went back home and rested. We searched through the internet for new ones. Other friends also helping us whenever they heard or found new advert on house for rent.
In summary, we did went to some houses but couldn't make when we couldn't find the said address, the agent did not bring the house keys (apedaa!), the landlord was too picky, and also we've been cheated by agency as we were foreigner (whey got kidse've been told the house was taken while we just about to fill in the form!!!). I felt that were valuable experience to share with my friends who wanted to go abroad, just be strong and careful with the locals! One must be easily adapted with the environment or else you will feel lost all the time.
When we just about to reach one week staying over abg jamal's, we feel it is not proper for us to stay on more than that since they got kids and only two beds in their house. We hope for another home to stay over until we find our home. We've been parasit for almost 3 weeks in edinburgh but that's fate we have to accept. Luckily, there a sis wanting to return to Malaysia for Eid and she allow us to stay in her house Thank you very much Kak Yani, you are really our saviour at the time we really need help. Her house is fully equipped since it has been rented by 3 or 4 Malaysian continuously. We celebrated our Eid there with small Malaysian dishes that I know how to cook eventhough there was missing ingredients!!!
At Kak Yani's, we thouroughly hunt for house and nursery. We got some houses but, as my husband went, there was one nearby but small and only 1 room. And it is very far from the bus stop. As for nursery, my husband went to one in Juniper Green and already filled in the form, then, late evening, we received a phonecall from Pinocchio, a nursery in our campus saying there is place for my son. We decided to send him there instead of Juniper Green. When we looked at the price, we were shocked but my husband preferred there since we plan not to buy a car.
We found our home now a week after we stayed in edinburgh.We met the landlord at night after we break fast and I just said we take the house and nego on the rental. We glad to have a very nice landlord so far and not picky. That is why we picked this house although it is smaller than kak yani's and more expensive than kak yani's.When about to move on, my husband refused to ask for help from our friends here, he did but the help did not turn up maybe due to buziness. So we migrated by taxi and carried ourselves the stuffs we can carry. It was very tiring night that I will remember for the rest of my life.

Finally..
It has been a long time idling in writing this blog. I've been very busy throughout september 2008 arranging my studies stuff. What a hassle i've went through which i feel i'll never want to mess up my life with it again. Lots of grieves and stresses on me.At one point i feel like my head is like a overpressurized vessel and waiting to blow up.And it releases as I looked into my son cute face (i'll never can be more stress than that, and it means, my son is my cure!!). I guess it happens to all mothers, the children are their cure.
Back to what happen in the past few months, my VISA readied on the 10th Sept, we straight went to the MAS office and bought tickets for 3 with our OWN money since MARA said they could not attend last minute ticketing for 2 of us. (i don;t know what will make them CAN'T do that now since everything is done online and ticketless) And we struggling to find the correct form to refund our money, have contacted them in MARA London, haven't reply (well, this is typical, hassle!)...We afraid they refused to refund as they have promised us to refund our money 100%.
So , we flew on the 10th, at 11.45 pm, we checked in early as i want to have meals in the MAS golden lounge (this was my wish ever to my hubby, as i can't enjoy the time in that lounge during my trip to paris last time). We went in and eat a lot...haha...but i guess last time was better since they served nasi goreng...
In the flight, at first we've been given front seat with the baby bassinet attached point.But, there was other family who in need of the baby bassinet so we moved to the back and have the four middle seat for us..MAS staffs were very kind to us..Thanks guys..we really appreciate that..and lucky, on that day, the flight wasn't that full. My son slept through the journey to london and it took almost 12 hours. I couldn't sleep though (very usual). We also had our sahur in the flight.
We arrived Heathrow in the early morning and my son was very fresh (u can expect how he behaved then,).lucky,we didn't go so much hassle at the immigration.There we waited for transfer flight to edinburgh at 11 am. Well, the process for immigration took longer than expected as our flight from kl had a slight delayed.From thre, we really appreciate that kl airport is much better (proud of Malaysia).
We arrived Edinburgh around 12.30 pm, we were brought to penghulu house before abg jamal's (our petronas senior). We rested a few hours than went to abg jamal's.we met his wife, kak g and kids (3 of them). They are really kind to us and we can't have the right word to express how much we thanked them..thanx abg jamal & kak g!
