1st week of January

Since 2008,i always remember the first week of January...both me (Eryna in my tummy) and faizal just arrived in Durham...it was on the 5th of Janaury at about 11 am we touch down at Newcastle Airport...I can still feel the anxious moment getting through the visa checking and meeting new Malaysian friends in Durham...it was a new beginning for our family...it was a memory that I will not forget...

For 2010, we are still here and its our 2nd year...with god's willing, 2011 will be anoher memorable year for all of us...as for 2010, me and faizal have to work very hard to complete our studies...do pray for us...

Another date that i will remember starting this year will the 14th January, it is the date one of my best friend, TERK @ Aznita will be leaving Malaysia to accompany her husband in Jeddah...will miss you girl...as I told her, all things happen for a reason and you have to be brave to overcome all obstacles...be brave my friend...with the new technology,we can easily chat...so just buzz me...i am always here for you...

Let's hope 2010 will be a better year for all of us...

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010

A HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010
Hope this New Year brings you....
Hopes for a bright future,
Affection and Love,
Peace for the heart,
Prosperity that’s unlimited,
Year-round fun........

010809 till 090809

My cousin, Aan came to Durham for 9 days after her Euro trip...we were excited to meet her as it has been quite a while not seeing her...we fetched her at the train station and good girl Eryna was happy to meet her aunty :)...on her arrival day, we did not do much as we know she was tired except bringing her to our friends birthday celebration...the next day we managed to bring her to Dalton Park for her to do her shopping and thereafter to Seaham...on 030809, we decided to just laze around in the house and the day after we went to Durham town...the following day we went to Newcastle...brought her to Metrocentre, Millenium Bridge and had fish and chips for lunch... we wanted to also bring her to Angle of the North but due to the road works which closed the junction, she  had to just wave from far...maybe next time around will be bring you Aan...after two days of relaxing, we went for rasberry picking and to the park...the weather was fine and all of us had fun...090809, we said goodbye to Aan and we sent her off at the train station...

We hope Aan had fun staying with us and enjoyed all the food that i cooked...
