The pangkor island holiday fever

Its a long time since my family went on a holiday. So on may, last month, we went to Pangkor. huhu actually the original plan was to go to Redang but all the hotels was fully booked. Then we tried Kapas and Tioman but they were full too. So our last resort was to go to Pangkor. It wasnt bad..Actually it wasnt bad at all=) check out the pictures~

This is at the Lumut jetty. We were were one of the first to enter the ferry.

It takes us a 30minute ride to reach the island. We arrived at the hotel at 11a.m. and went snorkeling at 12. huhu


Haha this is my brother in his snorkeling equipment. From the beach we had to pay rm10 per person for the boat ride to the snorkeling place.

This was the boat that took us to the island.

The water is not that clear but if you have a bread in hand, seriously you will be surrounded by beautiful fishes. I even found nemo=) huhu..The best thing was i caught a crab. but my leg got injured badly because i had to be near the rocks to catch it and the waves were rough.



my foot after i got hit by a wave to a rock just to catch a crab..haha got me in pretty bad shape.




I dont know about Redang but this place isnt half bad. Anyway we snorkeled until evening. We were hungry after that so we went to a stall that sells jagong bakar=) yummy corn!!



The next stop was to eat seafood.=) so we ordered udang n sotong tepung, chicken lemon, ikan 3rase..huhu


we did the same thing the next day. It was a 3day 2 night trip. The next day we enjoyed the beach of pangkor. The waves are rough.huhu so we jumped in everytime the big waves hit shore=)

i.fly.=)

and this is where i let go of the crab i cought..




On the third day we head for home but my grandmother wanted some gifts from pangkor. But we just decided to buy sotong kering at lumut for her. huhu..well not a bad holiday right?=)

The Room in which I Dwell

Its been long since i wrote an entry in my blog. Ive been busy with classes and my research proposal this semester. But now the long awaited semester break has finally arrived. In this post, i'l show u my room in IIUM and the stuff i keep in it. I stayed in room 3.5 Mahallah ALI. I'l start with my study table.


1. TABLE
well, the table is meant for a pc. As u can see it has a place for the keyboard but i dont have a pc so i put my reference books there haha. The table has only one drawer which is where i placed my iron.


2. The Mysterious Flower

The flower in a coke cup on the left corner of the table is something that was already there when i checked in the room. It is somewhat creepy and sad so i didnt touch it at all. Nothing special about it really.hehehe~


3. The Blue Board

I never really used it, i just pinned my check in slip on it and nothing else till the end of the semester. hehe such a waste actually~

4. Do the Dew

Its my favorite carbonate drink. I drank this bitch since i was a kid. In New Zealand where i stayed as a child, it was very famous and i was happy to find them selling it at the kiosk downstairs. I would buy a bottle a day huhu=)


5. The Glorious Holy Quran

Its the guide of mankind=) so of course i have one. Actually, i have two. Well my arabic is bad and i dont like when i dont understand what i read so i have a translation. I will read its beautiful verses after maghrib without fail.


6. My Acer Aspire 4520

My lappy that has been with me since i first entered the main campus of IIUM. Many say that Acer isnt a good brand for a laptop but i thin otherwise. It hasnt caused any trouble for me since i brought it. huhu such a good boy arent ya?=)


7. The Upper shelf

This is where i keep my F&N rutbeer cordial, Maggi, and aslo my 3 in 1 Milo=)


8. The Green Locker

Its the locker without a lock.haha i never brought one. Anyway, i dont keep anything valuable inside except my clothing.


9. The bags Threesome

I have 3bags. In the picture below u can see, the middle is my echolac laptop bag. It cost me Rm230 to get one. I bought it at a pc fair at KLCC. The bag on the right is my armadillo bag. I usually bring it to classes. It cost Rm99.90. The one on the left is my green sling bag that i seldom use. Its very cheap, i think around rm50.


10. The Bed=)

This is where it all happens..haha i usually spend 99.9% of time here where i will shut my eyes motionless=p very cozy hehe


well, basicly, thats it. My room which i stay n sleep every semester. But im not always in my room cause my work requires very big tables and are available only at my kulliyyah. huhu

Tickets to Freedom!

I am HAPPY to tell you that today, me and my brothers went to Shah Alam to get our passports=). This is the first step to our biggest family vacation at the end of the year. It was very tiring, we had to wake up at 8a.m. and we had bits of problems.


1. We didnt know that we have to bring our birth certificates so we had to go back home to get it.

We were lucky that our home was not that far from Shah Alam, but still the fact that we arrived and had to go back was very frustrating. Bless my father for driving us with patience=) Love you dad! haha

2. All of my brothers including me has damaged the chip of our I.C..hahaha

If the chip is damaged then it is impossible to get a passport so we had to get new I.C's first and retrieve an 'I.C sementara'. hahaha Our I.C will be ready after 2weeks.

3. My 2nd brother is born in New Zealand and can't get a passport without my mothers official oath to a witness. what kinda crap is that?? haha

so my brother couldnt get his passport today because my mother has work and couldnt join us. Thats why in the picture there are only the four of us holding passports.

Me and my brother eating lunch at KFC after we left Shah Alam.

Wish List : Things to do before I die

Im almost 22 and i consider myself still young. I appreciate what God has given me and i hope i live long enough to complete a few things that i really really want to do in my short life. The things that i want is not impossible to accomplish so I will try my best to achieve ALL of them. Of course only with His permission. Insyaallah~

1. To have a pet Albino python.

Haha I know its weird but I really want a python as a pet which I wont keep in a cage. I want it to be laying around in my room. haha that would be totally awesome! but maybe I still have to buy a cage by the fact that it might just one day swallow me in my sleep or something.haha.LOL

2. I want a basement to keep my favorite music instruments where I can play them.

I want a keyboard, a Les paul electric guitar, an acoustic guitar, a bass guitar and of course amplifiers and mikes. haha then i can invite my friends home to play songs in the basement for a little jamming underground concert!! =)

3. To go to the Amazon jungle.

Im an animal lover. Reptiles are my favorite and I also like exotic animals that you dont see that often. I really want to go hiking in the Amazon and hire a professional guide to follow me and bring me deep in the jungle. I want to see an anaconda if possible.hahaha Thats my dream. Weird? well thats just so ME=)

4. Travel alone to Rome, Paris and London with a D90 in hand.

Actually I want to travel the world if I can but these 3 big cities are main priority. I want to take a million pictures and pick my favorite ones to upload in my blog.=)

5. To do my Hajj =)

Well I still have many things that i want to do besides the things that Ive listed above such as getting married, buy a nice house bla bla bla but these 5 are the greatest desires in my earthly life. If i really do get to achieve them, you will definitely get the news if you follow my blogs=)

Snack time

One day my father just brought a snake home. My mother was furious because she hated snakes more than anything. It was a tree snake but i tried to search about tree snakes trough the web but the pictures that google showed had diffrent eye pattern. therefore im not sure is it realy a tree snake.haha.lol.

Yesterday was the first time we fed the snake which only eats lizards and geckos. At first, i wasnt sure the snake could eat the lizard that we gave because the lizard was very big compared to the snake. To our surprise, the snake stared the lizard and for a split second the lizard was already bitten and grabbed by the neck. Still alive the lizard was swallowed whole. It was awesome=p check out the pictures.

adorable creatures

our pet rabbit ..male & female. its kind of funny that we didnt even give them names despite how cute they are..lol

The brown rabbit is a diffrent kind of breed than the white one. The brown is bigger and has long ears. But they fit well together and maybe we can expect some baby rabbits soon. If they do have babies later on, i'l make sure to share some pictures in this blog=)

my name is Shukri
