Words can never tell

Dear all,

To all prayers, goodluck wishes, congratulation messages and complimenting praises, I don't know any other best way to express my gratitude except a THANK YOU message.

Semoga semua doa dan ucapan tahniah berpanjangan sehingga ke akhir hayat dan saya doakan segala yang terbaik juga untuk kalian.

With sincere appreciation,

"Terima Kasih"  "Xie Xie"  "Nandri"

Happy first month dear Fiancé!

Here without you

Dear diary,

It is 6 o'clock in the morning and I still find myself wide awake. Hati rasa tak berapa tenang bagaikan ada sesuatu yang mencuit perasaan.

I went out with friends last night when suddenly something triggered my feelings. I tried very hard not to care, but still, I had tears rolled down my cheeks. 

Rasa macam semua serba tak kena. I grabbed a few things to buy dengan harapan boleh menghiburkan hati, somehow it didn't work very well to ease that uncontrollable feelings.

I know mental control is the best solution so far. Although the other emotion may still linger, it will fade and eventually I won't feel it that much. Hopefully.

Otw balik tu, kitorang singgah McD and I had Strawberry Hotcakes with a cup of chocolate for supper. Real strawberry sauce and a dollop of fresh yogurt make it so irresistable that I hardly can refuse.

Fake smile. hehehe.

Sambil makan tu jugak kebetulan they had this song playing on the air. Here Without You by 3 Doors Down. Fyi, this is one of my all time favourite song yang I akan dengar almost everyday kat office. Tapi I suka version yang Boyce Avenue cover. 

Favourite. Sangat-sangat. 

A love is born

Dear diary,

It is his birthday today. Ohh, I should best address him as my fiance now I. I just turned 26 two months ago while he is celebrating his 27th birthday now. This makes him 9 months and 10 days older than me. Isn't that ironic? =)

I was actually planning to stay in Malaysia until today's date. Tapi malangnya semua ticket sempena Chinese New Year dah sold out. So I have got no other choice but to come back a week earlier than I planned.

Ni dah masuk tahun yang entah ke berapa kitorang tak dapat nak celebrate events sama-sama. Eh, cuba sabo sikit. Kalau dah kawen nanti sambut lah hari pape je yang nak. Hari lahir ke, hari cabut gigi ke, hari jatuh kerusi ke, ape-ape hari je pon bolehhh. 

Pendek kata boleh sambut hari special hari-hari.hehehe. Tapi kena tunggu duduk sekali lah baru boleh kan. So sekarang tengah jauh-jauh ni tak payah nak emo-emo sangat okeh! Appreciate apa yang ada..=))

I'm sorry for not being there today. I guess this is the price I need to pay when I am still a full time student living 4000++ miles away from my fiance. Hopefully this situation wouldn't have to be any much longer. 

Dear sayang, 

We may be far apart but never far enough to forget the start of a bright new relationship that lived in our hearts. I'm glad we are one step closer now. Happy Birthday! 

Love,
amri_mira

Chubby cheeks grow with love

Assalamualaikum semua,

Sedar tak sedar hari ni dah masuk hari ke-4 I balik ke Wollongong. I felt very awkward at first and everything seems not to fall into the right place. It took me some time to get back to the old routine. I found it very hard to get out from my house and go to uni, and it is even harder to sit down at my workplace and start working.

I also missed the time when I can walk energetically to uni EVERYDAY. Sekarang ni cuaca panas sikit buat I malas nak menapak. Silap hari bulan cuaca macam ni boleh buat I tukar warna jadi dayang senandung. So I terpaksa tukar routine lah rasanya lepas ni. Pergi uni naik bas, balik uni jalan kaki. 

You know what, balik Malaysia baru-baru ni I dah kumpul extra lemak sebanyak 2kg. Seriously I boleh rasa pipi kembang semangkuk, perut kembang sebesen. Ingatkan balik sini boleh control makan. Tapi harapan aje lah. Makin sehatttt ade laaaa. Aimy punya pasal la ni sape suruh masak sedap-sedap!! Aiyooo. Dear fatss, please go away from me fast!! Rasa berat sangat dah ni.huhu.

Me and my sister, Fatin.
Ada hati ni nak camwhore tak sedar diri ada sugar bun 2 bijik.

Me and my forever bestie, Emy.
Yang ni obvious pipi dah terkeluar dari landasan tudung.
Nangessss.. T____T

Having chubby cheeks in your childhood is quite a delight. Cute gila hokayy tengok budak-budak pipi tembam rasa nak cubit-cubit, rasa nak gigit-gigit. But when you are in your twenties or thirties,  you might want to think twice. Hellooooo?? Who wants chubby cheeks in their photos?? Me no likey but I already got one. Aaaaaa!! Tensi tensi!! Kunyah bubble gum boleh kuruskan pipi tak ehhh??

Goodbye Penang, I will miss you

Dear diary,

Time passes without me noticing and now I need to go back to Australia in short. As I am counting days and weeks as they passed,  now I just need to look forward to the time when I am going to come back again. For good.

With a ring on my finger, and promises forever together, here come the challenging days ahead that both of us need to treasure. Hopefully we will be alright. We sure will. InsyaAllah.

His and hers

Ohh by the way, today is going to be my last day in Penang. Hmm, tak best tak best! I'm so gonna miss this place like very badly. I have been spending my pleasant time here for the past few days, and tiba-tiba esok dah gerak ke KL. Mencik!

Tapi semalam I puas hati sebab dah dapat melunaskan keinginan tekak nak makan Mee Sotong Padang Kota. Or we just call it Mee Pata instead. I believe most people will like it especially to all food lover. Dengan gabungan Coconut Milkshake and Cendol semangkuk, memang jadi hidangan terbaik lagi-lagi masa cuaca panas! 

Thirst quencher
Coconut Milkshake & Cendol

The famous Mee Pata
You try it then you know it

Perfect much??

Lepas dah puas makan kat situ, boleh jalan-jalan dekat Gurney Drive. Then kalau nak shopping boleh pegi Gurney Plaza dekat jeee. Hamboi kau promote tak ingat ye Mira. hahaha. So if you happen to go to this area, please please please la singgah yea! Tapi jangan lupa ajak I sekali!! =))

Mee Pata, checked!!=))

Okay, that's all I guess. Kalau sempat before balik I update lagi, if I don't, see you in Wollongong!! Till then, tata.. :)

From "Will you marry me?" to "I do"

Dear diary,

It has been four days after 2012, and here I am, sitting here without any new resolution just like the previous years. There are actually a lot to be listed! Really. But I have no idea why I never wrote them down like what other people always do.

Anyway, 2011 has been quite good to me. Alhamdulillah. Though I have been emotionally, and psychologically challenged throughout the year, but thank you Allah for granting me with the strength to sturdily get through them all. Despite all the challenges, I ended my 2011 with the sweetest moment that I could possibly forget in my whole life.

As the continuation of our love story in here and here, from "Will you marry me?" to "I do", Amri and Amirah are now officially engaged. Embracing the sanctity of matrimony, the spirit in the family, and the pride in our ancestry, it is our promise to upgrade our relation to the next level, which is sacred marriage.

Forgive me if I kept the news low. It is not that I want to keep it as a secret, but more to let my life remains low profile. But I know there are some of you whom I believe will always support me no matter what happen in my life. So now I would like to share the happiness with my dearly loyal readers, the beautiful moments when I officially became Faizal Amri's fiance.

His mom, lovely and kind.

My mum, she means everything to me

We are an item now.. :)

Love is here to stay

Assalamualaikum,

Amboi lama sungguh tak report duty dekat Encik Diari. Busy tak terkata mengalahkan Datin Seri. Kadang-kadang sempat curi-curi online je. Nak duduk mengadap komputer 24jam macam dekat Wollongong memang tidak la.

What makes me so busy? I think the previous photo posted in this entry tells everything. My hectic life will at least continue until my last day in Malaysia which will be on 16th of January.

Walaupun penat asyik ke hulu ke hilir, I rasa cuti kali ni sungguh eventful. Setiap hari I keluar, pusing-pusing entah ke mana-mana, bila tengok jam, eh, tetiba dah petang. Esoknya pun macam tu jugak. Sedar tak sedar dah dekat 3 minggu I kat tanah air tercinta. How time flies~~

Whenever I am at home, I feel like not wanting to leave any more. Everything seems to be so perfect especially when I spend a little extra time with my dearest littlest sister. She could be a wee bit annoying at times, but this spoiled little brat has always be the apple of our eyes.

Hari-hari musti mau carik gadoh dengan Cheq
Eh, kitorang ada 2 bijik gigi kapak yang gedabak lah.haha.. :p

Main teka-teka benda masa bosan tunggu order dinner yang super lambat

Wordless Wednesday #1

It says so much that it doesn't need any description.. ;)

There is no place like home

Hi everybody!!

Here is a little update on my journey back home from Wollongong to Sydney to Kuala Lumpur and finally to Penang. They were all good and I'm now back at my lovely home safe and sound.

To make it short, I think I'm gonna shower you with heaps and heaps of pictures and let them do the talking. I believe they will best describe everything.

1) Before leaving Australia

Coffee time with my housemate, Kak Ean

They are whom I would call sisters forever, Kak Fish & Kak Ean

At the airport with Aimy and Mala. Thank you for sending me off.
Happy graduating both of you!!

2) Transit in Kuala Lumpur

After more than a year, amri_mira reunited.
Dah selebet gila time ni after long flight. haha.

Thanks.. :)

Lapor diri pertama kat McD KLIA. Prosperity Burger. Nyam!!
Macam mana nak pupuk budaya kemas meja and buang sampah sendiri  lepas makan dekat fast food eh?
We need that culture like very seriously.

3) Penang the great

Lapor diri ke-2 dekat Nasi Kandar Pokok Ketapang. Nasi+Ayam Madu Sedap Gila+Kuah Campur
Double heavy dinner malam tu!! Ayo ammaa!! ;O

Masuk je gate rumah, dari jauh dah nampak ni tertampal dekat pintu.
Dah boleh agak dah siapa punya kerja.

There she is. Masuk je pintu terus nampak gantung-gantung ni.
Terharuuuuuu!! Huda, kakak loves you so much!!

And I got this some more. Also from Huda.
Mana la I tak sentiasa rindu kat budak kecik ni. Haihhh.

Love love love!!

Lapor diri ke-3. Sambal cencaru belah belakang.
I know, makan non-stop. Do I care? Not at all. kehkehkeh.

So these are basically all the things that I have been throughout my journey. And I love every single moment I had so far. Sejauh mana pun kita merantau, tanah air sendiri tetap menjadi pujaan hati. Ni baru setahun I tak balik. Kalau yang dah merantau berpuluh-puluh tahun tu macam mana la agaknya perasaan diorang ye? Hmmm..

Hello Malaysia!! See you in 24 hours!!

Dear diary,

The time is finally here. Tomorrow night I will set my feet in Kuala Lumpur for a few hours and continue flying back to Penang on the same night. And then my summer holiday will officially start. InsyaAllah.

In the midst of my own hectic schedule, with so many tasks need to vitally be completed, I hope my short break will provide me with something rewarding in any possible way. Rewarding here means very deep to me and only myself will understand.

Tak sabar nak balik peluk cium mak and bapak. It has been more than a year. Rasa macam kurang je keberkatan bila dah lama tak balik salam cium tangan parents. Rasulullah Saw pernah bersabda, Keredhaan Allah terdapat pada keredhaan ibu bapa, dan kemurkaan Allah terletak pada kemurkaan ibu bapa. 

So, to those yang ada peluang salam parents hari-hari, sila la gunakan sebaik-baiknya. Rebutlah peluang nak dapat keberkatan tu. Cukup dengan buat parents kita redha dan bahagia dengan apa yang kita buat setiap hari. And I'm pretty sure that I am lack of that very lately. When I look back and think, I know that I need to go home and gain back the strength all over again.

Pray for my safe journey home. 

Wait for more updates from Malaysia. 

Till then, Sayonara! =))

Love from the land down under,

WhiteAdmiral
