IIE Banquet

The best night as an IE: We (IE department) had our banquet last night, to celebrate the outstanding seniors and faculty members, as well as the graduating seniors this year. It was held in Days Inn last night from about 7pm to 9.30pm. How was it? Unbelievably fun! It's really nice you know, having your classmates around you..socialize with them..and see them all dress up! hehe..pictures time??!!

The best times of the whole evening were when we, the IE students had our own little gathering before and after the banquet. Some sort of pre- and post- banquet. Where did we go? Heh..somewhere for a lil' gathering party..

On top of all this, however, I CANNOT deny the fact that the fun I had was not complete..without him wimme..I really wish that he was there..!!

3 more weeks to go!

I have 3 more weeks to the final week and 5 more weeks to commencement. How do I feel about it? Clueless..!! I am missing a whole bunch of stuff back home..and I am very sure that I will be missing a lot of people and stuff after I leave..but well..life isn't fun without sweet memories..right??

10 things that I miss back home:

1. My mother (duh!) who doesn't know that??!!

Come to think of it..I have many, many things that I am gonna leave behind here..but..yerp..I gotta be ready to face all these stuff sooner or later..for now, let's just enjoy life and live it to the fullest..!!

4 wonderful years..

Today..after 4 years..I am still in love with him, Aimran Hakim..this entry might be as cheesy as it may sound..but this is dedicated to us both..on our 4 year anniversary..hopefully InsyaAllah we both will get to celebrate our anniversaries for many years to come. I want us to grow old together and adore each other until the end of time..~amin..

Hm..Nothing fancy for the day..both of us will be busy and jammed with work (as usual)..but hopefully tonight we will get to take some time enjoying our nice little dinner at some nice restaurant together...

Come to think of it, it's like being on a long journey..I myself have never thought that we will get this far when we first started dating..it's funny how two people who used to argue and hate each other's guts can end up loving each other this much. He is always full of surprises and that makes it still exciting even after couple years. Of course there are times that you feel like punching each other in the face.. but.. that is a part of the whole excitement, isn't it?

I don't know how else to say it, but from the bottom of my heart, I am very blessed to have him by my side...No words can describe how thankful I am for having someone like him in my life..

Here's couple pictures..for you guys to see..

Oowwhh..a shout out to Kak Ani and Bang Asri..

HAPPY 4 YEAR (wedding) ANNIVERSARY!!!
