Photo of my love

I challenge myself to post 1 photo of my love, Khayr Sufyan every week starting this week.

Kitchen

Kitchen at my office

This is where me and my colleagues have our lunch or fika together

Small but enough for all.

With free-flow coffea machine. I'm not coffea's lover. But since I came to Stockholm, saya minum kopi. Heee. My favs is cappucino and of course hot chocolate  

   

 

Fridge and freezer to store the food. Also stove to cook.

Microwave to heat the food. 

Dishwasher. 

and of course duty list! Heeee. Each week 2 people will be responsible to take care of the kitchen. Water the plant. Start the dishwashers. You know.. task like that. 

Next time I will share picture of my office. InsyaAllah :)

Ikan ooo ikan

Sakit belakang
Back pain

Those two words

Sebenarnya dah lama sakit belakang. Since pregnant kan Khayr. Sejak 7 bulan. Masa tu perut dah nampak dan memang dah membulat.
Tiap2 malam memang En kam kena letak minyak panas or urut or apa2 la nak bagi kurangkan sakit tu
Ingatkan lepas delivered..sakit belakang ni pun hilang. Tapi TAK!!!
sampai sekarang sakit tu..

Sekarang makin teruk pula sakit ni
Bila duduk.. nak bangun.. sakit!
Dari berdiri nak duduk.. sakit!
Bila buat kerja .. nak baring tido.. sakit!
Sakit macamana?
Tak tau nak explain mcmana.. tapi rasa tegang sangat dan sakit kat bahagian belakang pinggang
So tadi telefon vardcentral.. dapat appointment doc 10 Feb ni
Lambat betul rasa nak tunggu 10 feb!
Meanwhile.. nurse cakap kalau sakit sangat boleh makan voltaren pill.. which is mmg tak kan la nak makan
Tahan je la sakit ni

Sekarang pula  eksperimen guna zebra-fish. Embryos to be exact
So memang kocik... everything was done under microscope. So pepaham je la
When it comes to microscope.. stress to my eyes and also my back!!
Dah memang sakit belakang.. so bertambah lagi la sakitnya huuuuu.

Walaupun sakit... suka pula eksperimen guna zebra-fish ni. Sebab nya tak busuk mcm rodent. Bila guna embryos.. bila tak jadi tu.. embryos mati.. tak la rasa bersalah sangat macam tikus. Huhuuuu. Pastu bunyi air dari aquarium tu macam music tau. Rasa tenang je  buat kerja sambil dengar bunyi air dari aquarium tu.. terus berangan nak ada aquarium kat rumah comel kat sini. Heheh!!
Siap dah survey kedai nak beli ikan n aquarium... tapi bila tengok harga dapat beli  jaket satu.. terus xjadi! Hahaha.  Baik i shopling jacket. Dasar kedekut.kekkekekeeke

Owh tadi sbb stress .. i masak lontong siap sambal ikan bilis lagi. Khayr makan banyak! Dia memang suka nasi impit :))
Sebab stress??
So much things to do.... so little time ;(
Selalu azam nak sambung kerja at hone
Bila balik rumah... angan2 jer la. Bila tgk kahyr xjadi nak buat . Rasa kesian kalau dia ajak kita main.. kita xnak.
Khayr tu dah la jenis xmain sorang2... mesti nak ajak abah or ibu main sama. Semalam dia tnya ibu buat apa tu?? Kenapa ibu tulis banyak? Kenapa kertas ibu banyak?
So hari ni memang plan nak layan dia je :)

Okla.. nak tido. Esok angan2 nk bangun pagi. Doa2 terjaga lahhhh.
Good nite world!

Half-time control

This year is my third year in KI as a Ph.D student.
So it is time for the half time review.
In Karolinska Institutet, all registered Ph.D students need to do the half time review.
Basically it is all about to review your study progress.
Does it progress according to the schedule or not.

The process is first you need to choose who is the reviewers for the your study.
Or litterally it is not you who choose the reviewers, but your supervisors (obviously)
Usually, 3 reviewers will be chosen
All the reviewers should NOT have any collaboration with all of your supervisor, but have to bhe in the field of your research
So it sound difficult to me for the first time
Because one of my supervisor is the former  of head of department, and a famous proffessor
She has collaborations with many people... i told you hehehehe
But of course we managed to find 3 people in the diabetic nephropathy field
Whom suitable to be the reviewer for my study... fuhhhhh

So yesterday, my supervisor sent out the invitation to all the potential reviewers
Hoping they will be agreed
Fingers crossed.

If all of them agree, half time control would be on the last day of February :)
And I should start to be busy by that time.
Beforehand, I need to prepare the manuscript to be send out to all the reviewers
And also the formal application form to the department.

And obviously, I need to prepare the slides for the presentation
Student needs to give 20 minutes presentations
Basically what we have been done, or what is the future plans
Followed by  Q&A session
After all the reviewres satisfied with the answers, all the supervisors, student and reviewers will have a closed meeting to further discuss about the study progress

So wish me luck. Hope I could do my best for the half time control :)

PS/ gambar semalam... ambil Khayr balik sekolah naik pulka... punya seronok dia. sampai senyum lebar.. hehe

Snowing

Sushi

Last Monday, I didn't bring my lunch. So from the morning I started to think what to eat for lunch.
So I text-ed my friend early in the morning. Punya semangat.. heeee.
I asked her whether she would like to have lunch together.
She replied exactly before I started my zebra-fish experiments.
So not really have time to set up the proper date.
At last we agreed to have sushi for lunch.
Since on Saturday we tried sushi at Kak jah's home.. and of course it was not enough! hahaha
So we decided to try the new (for us) sushi restaurant owns by Pattani family here in Stockholm.

Kak Hani text-ed me the address of the restaurant.
Somewhere in Hornsberg Strand 97.
About 18 mins from KI

I finished the experiments exactly 5 mins before 12pm
And I saw a few messages from my firnes. Ohmy.. she must be waiting for my reply.Too bad.
I was about to call my friend when I received her call.
So we decided to meet up at the restaurant itself.
After performed my Zuhur prayer, I immediately took bus no 69 to St Eriksplan to take Tbana to Stadshagen.

At first I was little bit confused when I entered the restaurant.
Because the workers looks like Chinese or Korean..
No other customer
Suddenly ada orang bagi salam dari belakang
Rupanya owner restaurant tu
Baru lega sikit rasa hati, confident sikit nak makan

Later, my friend arrived, so we order the sushi
SEK90 for 12 bitar sushi , ok la kan..
The sushi quite sedap..ada jelly hijau and octopus tu.. suka
Lama jugak kami lepak kat situ sebab seronok makan mengadap air hehe
Before balik, tapau sushi untuk En Kam

We plan to go again because nak try other menu
They have Korean food also
Should try that next time :)

Last Sunday before New Year kami ke Heron City
Ibu shopping kasut jogging
Owh itu antara azam tahun baru saya heee
Abah beli fishing rod.. konon2 untuk ice fishing.. tapi event cancelled last minute. Aob sob

Khayr excited sebab dok tgk replika ikan
Apa ye nama nya.. yang umpan untuk letak kat rod tu.
Untuk tarik perhatian ikan.
Bising dia pilih kejap ikan besar.. kejap yang kecik
Pusing satu bahagian fishing tu dok pilih ikan

Lepas bayar tu abah pergi solat
Ibu boring tunggu... so pergi beli ice cream yeayy
Khayr bukan peminat ice cream
But once in awhile dia makan juga
Plain ice cream.. vanilla
He is not choc's fan! But his ibu does hehe
Tengok la gambar dia makan ice cream tu hehe

Raya Aidiladha 2014

This year we celebrate Eidul Adha at the Malaysian Embassy. The hari raya was on the weekday, so asked my supervisor for 1 day leave. Fortunately he agreed. Yeayyy. hehe.

So early in the morning, we took pendeltåg (Commuter) from our apartment to Centralen. We met kak Hani in the train at Huddinge station. So off we go heee. The solat raya was scheduled to be at 9 o'clock in the morning. Therefore we left our home early. And the pendeltåg was full that morning because it was peak hours. People rushing to work. In Centralen, we need to change to tunnelbana (metro) to Stadion station. We missed the train like 3 times because the trains were full. At last we managed to hop in the 5th train.

 

Fortunately we arrived in the embassy just in time. The challenged begin when we wanted to change Khayr's clothes to baju melayu. Hahaha. En Kam asked me to put baju melayu for Khayr at home. But I insisted to change the baju melayu at the embassy. So served your right. Hahahaha. We chased him all around the embassy because he refused to wear baju melayu. NICE!! haha.
BUt finally taraaaa... hehe yup mom power!

The food were prepared by all the Malaysians. It was a potluck. So we brought the food and share with others. I cooked rendang ayam ala nogori style hahahaa. It was requested by En Kam. Memang every year kena masak. If I cooked other dishes, he will aksed me to cooked the rendang later. So to make my life easier, I just cooked the rendang ayam for him and for the potluck. Clever kan haha. Tapi boleh pulak lupa letak serai. aiyoooo. Even without serai pun,the rendang ayam finished. if with serai mesti tak cukup kan. kahkahkahkah. ok tak funny hahaha. Owh and i baked banana cake also. Terlebih rajin that morning. Semangat nak raya kot!

The kids spent their time playing games and running around the embassy. While the parents *read me* busy eating the delicious food. 

 

And finally our family potrait. So patriotic hahaha

 

PS/ I was wearing Hatta Dolmat Ready to wear collection. On that morning, ramai yang puji baju raya saya cantik. hehehe. Kembang semangkuk kejap ^^

Tahun baru 2014

Selamat tahun baru 2014. Alhamdulillah syukur pada Dia.
Atas semua nikmat yang diberikan.
Dapat sampai ke tahun 2014.

Selamat tinggal 2013
For all the sweet memories
For all the bitter memories
Which would never been forgotten

Recap untuk tahun 2013

1. Ice fishing 

For the first time in our life, we experienced the ice fishing in Falun.
It was about 3 hour by car from Stockholm, first time experience drove in the Winter and snowy road. We really enjoyed the event, even though no fishing could be caught. It's fine. Khayr enjoyed pulka on the frozen lake, although he had fever after we came back from Falun. Looking forward for ice fishing again! j

2. Anniversary in Italy

In March, we celebrated our anniversary in Italy. We took flight from Stockholm to Rome, spent 2 nights in Rome, then headed to Pisa by Italia train. We just spent like half a day in Pisa before went to Florence again by Italia train. Florence is beautiful. Highly recommended. From Florence we went to Venice!! My most favourite part of Italy. It's like mysterious but amazing place. We spent 2 nights in in Venice before went to Milano. City of shopping. But we didn't do shopping hahaha just sightseeing. In summary, the trip was amazing and unforgettable. Wish i can go to Italy again next time. InsyaAllah.

3. Attend International conference

I have been accepted for the international conference in Barcelona Spain. I was so excited because that was the first International Conference that I attended. The meeting was about the Diabet*c Nephropat*y , field that what my Ph.D about. My supervisor was really nice, when he offered me to bring along my family members since I'm alone attended that meeting. The meeting was held in the 5* hotel, which all the participants provided with food and free accommodation. So basically it was like a free vacations for us. HEHEHE. When I'm attending the meeting, En Kam and Khayr were having a good time in the city centre or in the beach. So unfair huh? hehe. We stayed for another 2 nights after the conference ends for holidays. I love Barcelona, it is a nice city. We had been to Barcelona before, but this time we managed to go to the Barcelona Aquarium to entertain Khayr. Alhamdulillah it was a wise decision because Khayr love it :)

4. Celebrate Hari Raya in Malaysia!! :)

After 2 years raya di perantauan, we decided to celebrate raya with families in Malaysia. We took Turkish Airlines from Stockholm, transit in Istanbul and continue another 10 hours to kuala Lumpur. Ijat, Ekin, Alin, kakcik and kak Uda fetch us in the airport. Ijat brought us berbuka puasa somewhere in Kajang. I was very happy although after 14 hours flight, alhamdulillah Khayr was very good dalam flight. Tak buat perangai sangat. Most of the time dia tidur :)

We celebrated our first day raya in Kulim, then heading to Paka to visit our first niece from my side. Auni Aqilah :) Khayr sempat mandi sungai for the first time.. yeayyyy.

Then we celebrated raya in rembau, my father abah followed us raya in Rembau and Melaka, rumah abg nua. Beautiful moments. 

Mak buat kenduri doa selamat sikit di rembau, after that we went to Melaka and took the river cruise. Not bad.. the view during the night quite nice with the kights akong the river. It just the smell from the water make me sick! Hahaha. Owh we also had An opportunity to bring Khayr to the Zoo Negara! We had fun there.  This year most probably raya di sini je. Last raya di perantauan. InsyaAllah. :)

Thats all about 2013 which i can recalled! Yup it just 8 days of 2014, and i almost forget 50% of 2013 memories. Haha. 

Wish a wonderful year ahead and many happy return! 

Love
