New Addition To The Family...

Hari ni, Puteri Balqis Binti Muhammad Akramshah, seberat 3.14 kg, telah selamat dilahirkan pada jam 6:45 pm di Hospital Queens Medical Centre, Nottingham, UK. Alhamdullilah, mommy & baby sihat. Sekarang Atie dah berada di rumah setelah keluar dari wad dan sedang berpantang dengan bantuan To'Mi & To'Ki pula menjaga Puteri. Moga Puteri menjadi anak yang solehah & penyejuk mata kami.

“Allah Maha Lembut kepada hamba-Nya; Dia memberi rezeki kepada sesiapa yang Dia kehendaki, dan Dialah Yang Maha Kuat, lagi Maha Kuasa.”

“Wahai Tuhan kami, berilah kami beroleh daripada isteri dan zuriat keturunan kami perkara-perkara yang menyukakan hati melihatnya, dan jadikanlah kami imam ikutan bagi orang yang (mahu) bertakwa.”

Papa & Mama Arrives In Loughborough...

Today, after changing their flight plan from afternoon flight to the midnight flight, Papa, mama, adik & faiz finally arrives in UK. I was suppose to pick them up from the airport but as I was stuck with Atie at the delivery suite, they have to come to Nottingham by themselves. At 11.30 am, they finally arrive at Nottingham train station and went straight to Queens Medical Centre.

Antenatal Class...

Today we attended the antenatal class provided by the NHS for first time mommies. The midwife explained to us what we should expect and how to cope with labour. The class was held at Barrow Upon Soar Medical Centre (10 minutes drive from Lboro). It starts at 2pm and lasts for 3 hours. After the class we went for a buffet dinner at Al-Mashriq in Leicester. The food was nice (Mediterranean theme), especially their dessert (rice pudding and bread & butter pudding). Yum yum...

Loughborough Bonfire Night...

Today Loughborough University held its annual bonfire night at Tower's rugby field. We arrived there around 5 pm and was greeted with many funfair attractions. Most of it are for children. The main attraction is the fireworks display. Everybody come with their professional camera while we only use the compact digital ones. It not how big the equipment you got, its how you use it.

Firework in action.

1st Year PhD Transfer Viva...

Alhamdulillah... syukur kepada Allah kerana memudahakan segala usaha kami sepanjang kami berada di bumi asing ini. Syukur juga kerana rahmatnya saya dapat menukar status dari MPhil kepada PhD. Viva mengambil masa 30 minit dan external examiner banyak bertanyakan soalan dari report yang dihasilkan. Sekarang dah bergelar pelajar PhD banyak perkara yang perlu disiapkan. Top priority sekarang ialah menyiapkan conference paper yang akan dibentang di San Jose, USA pada 19-22 January 2009.

1 year done, 2 more to go...
