Long Time No See

Apologies to all - KI and Che Nah included - for not updating earlier...
As many have suspected, I have been 'melepek' due to vomiting/nausea/headaches.
Sorry for abandoning this blog for some time...
I've been away from blogosphere for so long that I don't know where to start...

Condolences

... to Kak Shaz and Akhi Amin on the loss of their beloved son, Amir Ashraf.
Kak Shaz, one of the kindest, gentlest souls I've ever met, used to be in the same dorm with me back in high school. It's been ages since we last met so the news was really shocking. Her first born is austistic, so Amir Ashraf, the second child used to play the role of the first born - a protective, caring big brother who enjoyed making toys from recycled materials for his siblings. Too often we think of children as gifts from the above - but they are only temporary loans from The Creator - it must had been hard to return this particular loan back to the rightful Owner, but then we are only humans, and we all belong to The AlMighty...
Our doa for the family and the innocent child...

... to Kak Lela on the loss of her beloved mother.
May Allah place her among those blessed by Him always.

Congratulations

... to Rosli and family on the arrival of the latest member of the family, a healthy baby boy and to Kamarul and family on the birth of Adia's baby sister. Mabruk, and may they both grow up as anak soleh/ah

Thesis?

Got five questions during the oral examination - two each from the second and third examiner, and one from my own sensei, the chief examiner. Got some critics and comments from the third examiner too - he seemed to be the only one who actually read the thesis in full. When the second examiner asked a question I didn't expected (as I believed it had been discussed in details in my thesis), the third examiner actually defended me by saying something along the line of "she had written one whole chapter on that..."
Heh.

More later, insya Allah... I really want to share the story of the jeruk kelubi thief...
