back in fukui

i'm back in fukui ...tackling the kitchen...area paling susah nak pack...ari is here for the weekend...coz i needed someone to make me pack....hahahaha...klakar tak...well in my case..when there is someone around things get done faster...so there are boxes all over the place and while he's taking a little nap i decided to do a bit of blogging...

today is the starting of a 3 week marathon of driving, packing, legal stuff, and sigthseeing...and just now i happened to read my seniors blog and she wrote about the AP(approved permit) and the trouble that she has been through to bring her come home...it seems that people who have the 'dependent' status on their visa can't bring home a  car...unless you're the spouse of a government servant who is currently working in the country where you are residing...

we were originally thinking of bringing back a car next year, but by then my status would be that of a dependant...and since there are only a few weeks left to get everything done..it seems almost impossible to bring a car back now...with my family coming and what not...

anyway....the family visit is also causing me headaches...they just told me  they don't want to go to usj..whaaattt...so now i have think of stuff to do in osaka...where to go ye people? any ideas...kaiyukan is also out of the picture...namba? please sape ada idea what to do kat osaka please tell me..

using my hands

yes...sekarang dah ada free time sikit...i was looking forward to this...being able to spend time doing things i like...

i've been alternating novel reading , recipe hunting and knitting (yes...project tergendala sejak time kosen )....and now i need to get back to planning my parents visit...oooohh but it's torture to tear myself away from my hobbies..

yesterday..while figuring out how to finish up my knitting project ( pening sebab tatau cam ne nak attach the pieces...this is what happens when you get over ambitious and make up your own pattern) i decided to look into crochet...my mother has been doing it even before we were born but no matter how many times she tried to teach me i never could pick it up... but then thinking bout my project ..nekad jugak try

and so yesterday..looked it up on the internet and started to teach my self..and today i have learned 4 types of stitches...i'm not great at it yet...but in the world of knitting and crocheting ..practice makes perfect...

which makes me think...apasal dulu dulu tak jadi2 bila try...maybe because dulu2 i just wanted to try...and now...i really need to learn it if i wanna get that project done...so maybe if i really needed to learn how to make ketupat i could....hahaha...

but seriously ...lepas try buat tu sakit kepala dia cam study untuk exam ...but it was fun..that's the difference...

looking forward to seeing my mom so i can get some pointers....
