Night Life at Toulouse

Dear diary,

Ok, let's start customly. its been 2 weeks already that i'm (er no, its been just 2 weeks that im) here in toulouse, but so many firsts that i faced already. ok, i know im fatigue. i've arrived at home (kak zati's home) just now, after sending ustaz saif and his wife to my house where they would stay over the nights through out this programme. guess what, i walked all along from my residence insa until i arrived here, which took me 45 minutes, started at 00h30. ok, why not taking the so-glamourous-yeah-toulouse-has-metro-too? because after midnight no more metro. ok then, you have money, taxi would be understandable rite, since it's really far between these 2 houses? i've called hundreds of times, if not millions (ok i lied, i called 6 times;p). so then, with the internet in the palm (read: illymithics 3g, unlimited internet access via nset;p) i've then chosen to walk home. internet? is there any reason? yeah you have google maps so can get directions to walk. why not? what they call it again, 1 of those 10 muwasofat tarbiyah, qawiyul jism aint it? here goes. walking in the middle of night, lonely beside la garonne (read: among 5 biggest river in france), i've nevertheless watched the night life of this city of Toulouse. there were people and activities, unlike Angouleme (er i cant compare with tours because tours has night life too, if not as active) couples, cyclists, naturalists, etc2. i feared however that i might get kidnapped or worse, raped; but the temptation of appreciating the night surrounding really urge me to keep walking. 45 minutes of walking wasnt really too bad. i've even taken the shorter time to arrive (comparing to the indicator in the google maps i've searched in my nset, which showed 46 minutes to arrive). ok its 1.55 am in the morning already. i've got to wake up my company (to paris) at 4 in the morning (which reminds me of gwen stefani's song: 4 in the morning), thus i really think having an overnight wouldnt be a really bad idea, would it? i can still cover the sleep in the train, tkt;) ok2. sorry abah for not having time to call you. but these 2 days really got me to the top of my nerve. 2 days of educations and heavy things, it's the time for enjoy then. paris, here i come! oh yeah!! lie on the grass at the feet of Eiffel Tower, i can hardly wait for that! what else? anything! 2 hours more to 4 am. my train will be at 06h08. i've got to leave the house at 05h15 if i do not want to watch the train leaving me. hmm full stop.

ps: flight to Malaysia in less than 48 hours!!

Separating the way

Every start has its end. But the friendship built within these 2 years remains, aint it?

Thanx.

ps: back to Malaysia in 4 days.
pps: written in Bordeaux (city of shoping thats what they said), and will be leaving for Toulouse in 2 hours.

Toulouse, first look.

1. My room:

20m², 4 times smaller than my apartment last year, fine la.

2. Les Toulousains:

I BELIEVE I CAN TOUCH THE SKY!! what the heck with their english (label found at Toulouse's centre ville Quick) ? english, and so does french. geez i need serious training with my hearing. they speak an alien french to me.

Goodbye Tours

I quit Tours this morning, exactly at 07h45, heading to Toulouse where lies my future, my bright future, leaving back all the sweet memories with my dearests here.

I may not come back until there's a family gathering here. *isk3*

wishing raf a safe journey

Woke up 4 in the morning just to send raf off (he took tgv at 5.30 am to paris who then will take off to Malaysia), stayed all morning watching this tiny little rectangle (i mean my laptop display)

i've done already with this. step out into the fresh air.

Happy Pre-Birthday Amin!!

We'll hold the friendship till we are meant to be separated. Let's be the great persons who generate even more great persons;)

...ps: sorry for the early surprise cake:P

2 years preparation is officially over!!

Assalamualaikum wbt.

It's been a month this blog in hiatus. Normal. End of year, there's lots of exams to withstand (you believe that?:P) Finally, it ends in a natural fashion; a meal with Gwenaelle yet cherishable and filled with sort-of-saying-goodbye conversation.

Awang Gong story had finally been published, after 6 months of hard work. i mean 6 months! Alhamdulillah. i'm so pleased of that.

ummu and i, and hizami, last editing of the kinda-novel

The very last meeting with professor is set to be at 16 June 2009, 18h30: the dinner confirmed by Armel to be full-claimable to SFERE. So, there will be a spot for a pyramid of Ferrero Rocher and Haagen Dasz, sure it is; which confirm that we'll be busy this weekend preparing up all the stuffes.

I got l'INSA Toulouse, admission for first year classe preparatoire beginning this September. They said life will be hard, but with the thorough time management, insyaAllah everything will be fine. School holiday had started, and it continues until 1 September. People might say that is a really long holiday, but for me, i learned that the word "holiday" is never mentioned in any of the dictionnary i've looked.

I want to go to Royan. I want to go to Paris. I want to go to Blois. I want all that to be done this weekend. Can i? With all the dinner preparation? Also, one special day is coming really soon, i'm planning that day for that special person.

Everyone will leave soon. I want to have the great time with them here. I want to know Tours as much as i never did before.

wearied

Maths papers caused me a brainwreck. TP chimie too - exhausting. On top of everything, Barca was too great for us.

I'm tired. Really need a rest.

S'arranger

Solution: Avoid practicing last minute study:P

Milka Addict:P

when we back from Europapark that day, we had to wait for 2 hours at Offenburg, a city at the border of Germany connected with Strasbourg, to enter France. a transit, yep.

you guessed it right! haha. so i wandered, looking for chocolate! cz it's well known that they are cheaper than in France. voila2.

still wondering, how am i going to finish all this up. i grabbed up almost all the type of milka i managed to find:P

Dila

Think about the memories
Passing years can never mar,
Experiences great and small
That have made you who you are.

Another year isn't just another year
It's the gift from Allah, appreciate it;
"Instead of counting birthdays,
I count blessings every day"

Happy Birthday!!
^^

Having Sofwan around

3 days Sofwan in Tours. 3 times he's been here. sorry to disappoint you for not having so much walk at town. we've been busy ourselves too :(

anyway here goes one of the greatest evening of the holiday:

hanging around at the bank of La Loire

waiting for Place Plumereau's ice-cream. yam yam!:P

having kak aishah's shot style:P

I'm weak. i need les 4 glaives sacrés to cheer me, i always do, coz they are the ones that never give up giving me spirits. especially Amin.

Tomorrow i'll be off to Germany, like Amin said; kembara ilmu.

Bilan à Tours

Yesterday i received my kinda result of all preparation year here (in Tours).

Well. overall it was ok. when i took a look from the header to the last line, everything was positive except for the one of Na-e-jus:

« Il se contente de faire un minimum pour s'assurer un 14/20 »

I knew it would be this sort of comment. I got critics with the same sentence all year. Dear prof.

Anyway, all that i can say, everything i got until now, all credits go to Allah. Alhamdulillah:D

ps: let me know if you cant understand what naejus had said.

Afifa

guess when was it? it was our explorace team when we was all young at intec. hehehe. and in the middle of the photo, there goes the birthday girl, Afifa. its so smoothing, to look back at time, and watch back on how the friendship started.

Take a deep breath
Make a wish
Very happy birthday to you!
