Miss J's Farewell Party

6 December 2008

I couldn't believe it. Today was the last whole day Miss J would be in Cambridge. She's actually leaving tomorrow afternoon! I feel so sad as we are very close here, like sisters...

I cooked some food for this event. The food was not really that fancy as I was busy lately with the genome sequences and spent most of my time 'playing' with bioinformatics software. Still struggling to figure out the best way to process the sequences.

The normal vegetables salad and my rose chicken, suitable to have with briyani rice....

I took a taxi to go to Mdm Zett's new place, Southacre Flat at 12 pm. Too lazy to cycle as her place is quite far from my college and I'd to bring the food.

The hostesses - Mdm Zett and Ms Zee were busy preparing some drink. Miss J was trying to join the fun...

Mr Izud was the first to arrive, and then me. Mdm Zett's place is quite spacious and nice. Check out their living room....

And they have a very nice garden outside which would be perfect for BBQ in summer. And a large tree which I would die to climb! Perhaps in summer....

More people came after 12.30 pm and more food was placed on the table.

The guys were so deeply engrossed in their interesting discussion....


And the girls...somehow they always manage to give a pose even though the were heavily talking just before. So responsive and alert to cameras!!

Main dish :

Briyani rice, beef kurma, Rose chicken, pajeri nenas, jelatah (two version-mine and Mdm Zett!), nasi himpit and peanut sauce.

Dessert :

Bread pudding, tiramisu, muffins, peach pie and ice cream.

Peach pie brought by Mr. Khairul


Muffins brought by Mr. Izud

Bread pudding made by Mr. Hef and Mdm Zett


Miss J was given the honor to start the eating session. Bon appetite!


The girls and food...What a combination! With me in my Christmas mood (so red ya). Hehe!!

Then, the cake session! Mr. Hef's belated birthday.

We sang him the "Allah Selamatkan Kamu" song. He was so surprised of our birthday song selection (Mr. Kimi fault actually!) but made a joke about it.

Chocolate cake from Fitzbillies

Check out Mr. Hef hands when we sang him the "Islamic" version of his birthday song. So very the like when we sing nasyid la....

Many Happy Returns Mr. Hef. May You Be Blessed with Your Life - a Hubby and PhD Student!!

Miss J and her farewell cake...

And it was from Fitzbillies too...

Wish You All The Best in Your Future Undertakings. No Matter What You Decide, We'll Be Behind You All The Way....

We watched Mdm Zett and Mr Hef's wedding DVD, the one that took place at Mdm Zett's house in KL. Everyone cheered Mr Hef for succeeded in saying his wedding vow (akad) only once! Excellent job bro...

Everyone was so focus watching the wedding DVD.....

Miss J received a number of farewell presents from some of us. She was very happy (and sad too as she's leaving us and Cambridge).

A cute Cambridge grad teddy bear from Mr. T!

And a nice love-shaped pocket mirror from Mdm Airina which will definitely lift Miss J spirit as she's obsessed with mirrors - of any size and shape!

Mdm Zett, Mr. Hef and Ms ZZ gave her a nice green pendant and a bracellet but I didn't have the pictures. I stole the picture from Mr. Hef's album in Facebook! Hehe!

Miss J gave us (closest friends of hers) a red bracelet each as her farewell gift. I love it and will always treasure the bracelet with my heart....

And we couldn't resist to pose with our bracelet (tried to pose like pro model but it didn't work!)

Photo session followed before most of the people left the place :

All the credits should go to Mr. Hef for all the nice pictures below.....

And my favourite among all!

Our 'pandang-pandang, jeling-jeling' (Mr. T gave it this title!) picture

Ms ZZ, me and Mdm Zett waved Miss J our last goodbye...

And my potrait picture which I adore so much. Thanks Mr. Hef!

Then, the rest of us watched Mamma Mia together and sang together at the parts when the lyrics were given. Everyone seemed to be enjoying ourselves with the songs.

Then, we all left for Wolfson (Miss J's college) as we had to collect our thing from her room. She sold/gave away some of her belongings.

Then, we parted as Ms Fatimah and I took a taxi back to St Ed.

I bought an acuostic guitar from Miss J. Hopefully, I'll be able to play something after some practice...

Now, time to sleep. ZZZzzzzz.....
