Country life?

I've roughly got 30% more to write for my thesis. But that's not counting the corrections my supervisor highlighted after his first reading of the thesis. Although I anticipate finishing all the corrections within a week or so. Thus, I'm on my way to finising my thesis and submitting it. So to whomever is reading this, please pray that everything goes as planned for me ok? I really need them.

It's Saturday evening and I'm taking abreak today from writing. So here I am making an entry that is long overdue. Since I last put in a post nothing mcuh has happened. We didn't do anything much last weekend (3 & 4 April). That Saturday (3 Apr) we went to the city centre with the main intention of buying lots and lots of books. We ended up buying 7 books. Shah got himself a 'Chambers Encyclopedia' which only cost him £1. I got myself 5 books for £1 each- one novel ('Spellbound' by Jane Green) and 4 books on interior decorations (creating creatve spaces for kids, 100 ideas for the kitchen, 100 ideas for the bathrom and a book on New Country style living).

I must confess that everytime I go the the Bargain Bookstire in Nottingham I'm sure to get at least 1 book on interior decorations. It's become a hobby or probably an obsession. I also have to confess that I haven't read them all but I will read them once I am done with my studies. Home interior decoration has started to become an interest of mine since about 6 months ago and I hope it's not something that I'll lose interest in. Tak nak la hangat hangat tahi ayam je. From the books that I've bought I think I'm starting to get an idea on the room concepts that I like. Generally I love the idea of a New Country style home with pastel shade colours on the wall and floral furnishings. An of course I'll need a country kitchen to match. Bu in truth I'm torn between a country kitchen and a sleek modern kitchen with all the stailess steel appliances. Hmm....maybe I can find a way to amalgamate both styles? I'll guess I'll just have to do more research on this. But with all these ideas running in my mind I know that I'll have to take my time to create my dream home. There are other priorities in life which I need to concentrate on. A dream house is nothing if it's just filled with the 2 of us.

The final book we bought last Saturday was 'Lets Go Europe' travel guide. We actually got it for a mega bargain price of £2 from The Works. I guess the main reason it was so cheap was because it's the 2004 edition. But who cares right? We just want ideas on the places to visit and what to do there. We're planning to travel across Europe after I've finished my PhD and after Shah has finished his postdoc job, insyaAllah. So we've got to start planning our itenarary and start budgeting for the trip. I'm really hoping we will be able to tour Europe so I've got to work hard and finish my thesis+viva+corrections by the end of July.

I guess that's enough of an update. Got to go have some apple pie dessert. So till next time...take care!
