Time to start a new day.....

Not much of exciting activity this weekend, but I did enjoyed it. Relaxing, nice walking in the city on Saturday with a nice weather too. Warm, 29C to be exact. Today had a bit of cooking as usual. Made noodles, grill fish and buns.

Thanks Jo for last night message. Sure you had a great weekend too, :-) cooking and eating.

Eid is coming soon. Another week to go. Hmmm what should I cook for Eid. Wait and see, I will keep as a secret.

I had energized myself now and ready to start a new day tomorrow. Hope to have a nice week this time round.

Looking forward for Weekend

Finally last day of the week, Friday. Yeah..After all the hard work through out the week. Wake up really early in the morning and came back home late and with all those stressful moment, now I can have a relaxing time, mind body and soul and get ready for next week. Had a great day today, both of the students who helping me in the gym came on time, I had plenty of time in the clinic to recruit more participants. Fortunately I had 2 possible candidate today and going to meet them in the gym next week. Nice. Feel so so grateful. Finish all my work early and get off to CBD. I am looking forward for a nice rest this weekend.

Love this song; Like it Like that

Love this song and the video clip.
Catchy and entertaining
Relaxing.
what I needed most.

Appreciation

At least somebody made my day today. After a disappointed day yesterday, today somebody really had almost made me 'cry' not because of some sad news, but praised and appreciate my work. My new patient whom committed with my study, his 84 years old (frankly he didn't look as if he is in his 80's I should say he look more in his 60's) came to his second exercise session today. During the exercise session, he always respect me and praised so much with my research work and pray that I will get the degree as a reward of my good deed. I was flattered and almost drop to tears but I compose myself not to do so. He even told his private cardiologist 2 days ago after his first session with me that I have done a good job. I don't know what to say just said thank you.

Even though I was not fully recovered totally after yesterday incident ,at least there is something to cheer me up.

I am nobody

I was really upset, bit sad and my mood has dropped. Like a glass broken into a small pieces all over the floor. I felt like I am a beggar or something. Don't know how to describe my feeling, only Allah knows. One after another. Pray to Allah to give me patience and try to finish the research as soon as possible and get out from this Hospital.

Ramadan gathering with Cinnamon Rolls

I decided to bring Cinnamon Rolls for Ramadan gathering at Adel's house yesterday. I took me more than two hours to get it done. From kneading the Dough and until it ready to serve. I didn't make the icing tough because it will be too sweet. The rolls itself is already sweet by adding the icing it will be too much (I did modified slightly from the original recipe) . Smells nice and yummy. Jo told me she got a Cinnamon Rolls recipe without using any sugar. Hope Jo wouldn't mind to give me the recipe, ;-)

So so long....

Gosh...I think, I didn't update my blog for more than a month. Received lots of emails and ask, 'hey when are you going to update your blog??!!'. :-) .
Thanks guys, it means that there are somebody out there still visiting the blog.

Don't know why, August - September I was not in the mood in writing stories.....Think I did the same thing last year. Anyway way I am back...

I was really hook up with my work intensely for the last one month. Got up early and catch 5.12 am train and gone back home by 7pm from Austin. Definitely I was really drained out when I got home and need to go to bed early. while my weekend is my resting day, recovering.

Anyway last Friday for the first time during Ramadan I can reach the city early and had dinner (breaking fast) on time. (Most of the time either I break my fast at Austin or on the train). Alhamdulillah I had been fasting till now, the weather and fasting duration here in Melbourne make the whole day fasting much easier and still active.
