A gift to my FYP supervisor

Posted in Good Things, Just For Fun by

I received my FYP marks. I got 83. That’s an A. Although my GPA is in progress, I am already thrilled and elated with my scores. I felt that my hard work and unintentional breakdown episodes were justified.

The first person I thought of was my supervisor, Dr Juliana. I wanted to give her something as a token of appreciation for the relentless support and motivation given to me throughout my 1-year journey of doing FYP. It was no easy feat. Even in medical school, there was no similar concept of FYP involved. However, I do have to note that the final exams for medical school were killing me. Ha ha. Even then, FYP was a different ballgame altogether.

I searched for florists and gift shops within Dr Ju’s campus. My brain was finding it very difficult to fathom the geography of KL and Selangor. I had to use Google Maps to see if the shop was within acceptable delivery distance ranges. Finally, I spotted a place called Petals & Chocs at Seri Kembangan. An order was placed and I had it delivered to my supervisor at her campus.

I added another 3 roses to this gift selection.

Alhamdulilah, my supervisor received it well. It was the least I could do for her constant guidance and prayers.

Ramadan is coming soon. I have started searching for suitable gifts for my friends and family.

Parcel Kasih Sayang (PKS) 2024

Posted in Good Things by

It has become an annual activity to get my family members and close friends a gift for Ramadan. Nowadays, it has become easier for me as I just need to select them from Shopee and have them delivered to their homes. This year the PKS theme is healthy fruits and nuts as opposed to the Tiffins last year.

I also ordered my favourite cookies from an online baker. These cookies are for my siblings, in-laws and neighbours. I even put money packets inside for those who are celebrating Eid outside Melaka next week.

I went to Jonker Street last weekend and got 50 boxes of Beryl cookies. Those are for my relatives and random people in my thoughts. For example, our security guard at the workplace and at my kid’s school. I think I spent just above RM500 at Beryl’s. Parking at Jonker is a nightmare.

I have also been getting a few Ramadan gifts as well. For example, the Medjool dates that I look forward to every year from my bestie Mimie. Then there was a cute mug set from Waniraul and a Mahnaz gift box from Lily Tensai. I love Ramadan because of this. Connecting with old friends and family just to tell them that they are in my thoughts forever.
