Of having a week left in Kuantan and a new cousin

Assalamualaikum and good morning!

It's 9.00 a.m now and I don't have any paper today and I just finished studying for the next paper. I have 2 days gap, today and tomorrow because my next paper is on Sunday afternoon. It's such a bummer having to sit for your exam on Sunday afternoon, no? So 3 papers down, and another 3 to go. Sikit je lagi, lepas tu dah lega. Can't wait til the day the exam finishes. I swear it's too much pressure being put on me though. I need to get it right this time. I need to get higher pointer. Mama is asking for 3.2 and above, and I'm not sure if I can get it. Sorry ma :/ My course marks has came out this week, and Alhamdulillah it's quite satisfying. It's just depends on my final exam now. If it is good, then my pointer will, if Allah wills, be good as well. This exam is really putting me in great stress. Pimples are all over my face now, I swear. Takpe, sikit je lagi. Lepas tu cuti 6 bulan. I miss home, I miss my family and I miss my lalilu. I want to be able to see them everyday like we used to back in high school. But they are all busy with studies now, and Hudda will be leaving to Canada next year to pursue her dream. It will be just the 5 of us after this, in Malaysia. 

So my aunt just delivered a baby girl on Monday night, and her name is Maryam Arissa bt Muhammad Syamsuri. She is so cute and small and I seriously can't wait to see her and hug her and hold her. I just looooove babies so much. Babies are my addiction. No, everyone's addiction. Welcome to the world, Maryam Arissa. Be a good little angel and may your presence brings more happiness and love to our family. 

Mata sepet mcm anak cina. Geraaaam!

Malaysians' hearts are grieving

Assalamualaikum everyone!

I'm sure that all Malaysians right now are not in the mood of doing and posting anything, because of the tragedy that hits us regarding the MAS flight MH 370. I'm in the middle of my final examination, when the news broke out that the flight ended at the Southern part of Indian Ocean. Allahu. I cannot imagine how sad their families are right now. It's like a nightmare becomes a reality. Hearing that our family members died without the proof of their dead body, I swear it is too heartbreaking. So heartbreaking that I cried watching the news and updates on the tv. The incident however has brought so many speculation from all over the world regarding the main direction of the flight. Only Allah and those in the flight know what actually happened, but sadly the people are all gone. So much love, thoughts and prayers are dedicated and served to the victims even though we don't even know them personally. They have brought people all across the globe to pray for them and keep them in our thoughts. Masha Allah. This tragedy really shows that Allah wants to test us, especially the Muslims of what we are lacking of. This is surely something to ponder upon. Nevertheless, I still hope that all the passengers and crews will come home to their families. If not, if only it has been written that Allah love them more, I pray that Allah bless their soul in the hereafter and provide enough strength and sabr to their families to handle this huge test. I believe everything happens for a reason, even though we don't know what the reason might be. Everything has been written nicely and beautifully. Wallahu'alam. 
Inalillahi wainailaihiraji'un..

Of my study week and final examination

Assalamualaikum and good morning!

My final exam has started yesterday with psychology paper (law 039). That means 1 down, 5 to go. I don't have any paper today, the next paper will be tomorrow afternoon with ctu 086 (Islamic Studies). It's been a while since I last updated anything I guess. I've been a lil bit busy studying and trying to focus on the exam. Alhamdulillah, the first paper went well yesterday. Though it was bit confusing here and there, but overall it was an easy paper. 

Anyways, I spent my weekends very productively with my housemates. On Friday, we had lunch at mamak restaurant outside ECM. After Zohor, we went to Pahang public library to study there since it is so conducive and comfortable and cold. Ok. Studied there for 2 hours or so, then we went to masjid negeri for Asar prayer. After that, we went to Domino's for dinner. Early dinner. Su and Aina never tried Domino's so they wanted it so bad. We were like "okaylah okaylah Domino's". Haha. Ordered two pizzas; beef pepperoni and classic chicken. I only ate two slices of them since I'm not a big fan of pizzas. After that, we went to UTC for Maghrib prayer and studied at the library inside there. Unfortunately, the library wasn't so comfortable because there were so many kids playing in the library nearby our study table. So we went out an hour after we got in, and went back to the campus at 10 p.m. Before going home, we went to the stalls beside our campus to have dinner. 

On Saturday, we went out early in the  morning at 9 a.m to have our breakfast at Padang Lalang nearby the boys' campus. Then we went to the public library again to study. We love it there because it's so comfortable. Very. The library is closed at 12 p.m every Saturday, so we had to go out when the ball rang that indicates the time is up. After that, we went to Teluk Chempedak because we just love going there and Su wanted Chatime and we wanted to lepak. After prayer, we went to ECM to have our lunch at the food court. I just ordered sizzling since I already had nasi lemak for breakfast. After that, we went to Teluk Chempedak again because we thought of studying there at Mcd, but Su wanted to go home at her sister' house, so we decided to go back to the campus. We reached the campus at 9 p.m, it was very exhausting, but fun. I'm not sure if we can do the same thing during degree years. So sad.. On Sunday, we just chillled in the room because we woke up very late. Kehkeh. Memasing kepenatan. After lunch, we studied together in the room and later at 6 p.m, we went out to the bank and had dinner  at food court ECM again. 

Wish me luck for another 5 papers. Pray for my success. I can't wait to be home tbh.

Of the barbecue dinner

Assalamualaikum. Hello. Good morning everyone.

It's Friday and it's 3 days more to my final exam and I'm nervous and I couldn't stop thinking of my future. I want to pursue law so so bad. Pronto. Just two weeks left in Kuantan, no more and no less. After that, I'm done with my foundation and I'm out of here. Surely I'm gonna miss everything here. Especially my friends and my lecturers. Sedih sangat Ya Allah.

On Wednesday night, I went to Teluk Chempedak for my debate club's barbecue dinner. At first we wanted to organise a dinner in a restaurant, but then it's gonna be awkward as everyone would just sit and eat and talk for awhile and go home. So we decided to make it more informal, thus a barbecue dinner it was. Everyone can come and enjoy the beach and eat and take photos etc. As one of the high-coms, I had to settle a few things for the dinner and wash having a few problems regarding the fund, attendance and such. Despite the shortcomings, we managed to pull through the dinner successfully. I can say that more than half of the club members came to support and enjoyed the dinner. Those whom I don't even know their membership also came to join us. 

Overall, it was a successful event and the very last activity for the club. That's sad.. After this, there'll be no more Kelab Debat dan Orator UiTM Kuantan sesi 2013/2014. After this, there's no more activities for the club and no more the committees. I hope everyone enjoyed and satisfied with those activities that the club has organised. If Allah wills, we'll see each other again during degree years.

19032014

Assalamualaikum. Good morning!

It's the third day of my study week leave and I am nowhere near prepared for the final exam. H e l p. I am here sitting like a boss with my laptop on, blogging and listening to songs. I need a motivation to study. Like seriously. I cannot live my life like this anymore, IF I want to purse degree in law. Pronto. I went out almost everyday last week. I procrastinate on my work. Those need to stop, otherwise I'm doomed! Anyways, my roommates are still asleep because it's early and we have no classes and the weather is kinda cold. So yeah. Haha. I'm a loner, who is trying to entertain herself by blogging and tumblring.

I don't know why but I keep missing home and my family. Walaupun dah bukan rumah lama, tp still rase rindu rumah and the people in the house. The closer I am to the end of my studies, the more I miss them. Gosh. I'll be done with my exam on 3rd April, then I will stay here for another 2 nights until 5th to spend some time with my friends here, and then I'm going home. Can't wait! It's sad to leave my friends especially Su because she lives so far away in Terengganu and she MIGHT not be in UiTM during our degree later. Hana and Kina live in Kajang as well so it's not that hard to see them after foundation ends. 
I'm sad. 

Photo session with classmates







Law foundation group D (PI0052D). Two semesters with them, we got closer and closer each day. We do have some disputes along the way, but we patched it up real quick. Alhamdullilah for all the good things that I went through with all of them. Amazing people, they are.

Of the last week of my foundation studies #2

Getting into the second semester, so many things have changed. Especially the people. I got new housemates and I gotta admit that it's way different from the previous ones. Too different. But despite the changes, we still stick to each other. We went out for lunch and dinner together, went to the mall together and such. Even though we are not under one roof, we are still close to each other and we tell everything to everyone. Alhamdulillah for that strong friendship. 

Not until recently, the changes are getting more obvious. A lot of people that I knew since the first semester, have changed. At least not into the person I hope them to be. I have to admit that we can't expect people to be the person we wish them to be, but they've changed into someone that I no longer know. Be it in class or in general, a lot of them have changed. A heck lot. When we have some disputes (problems) with someone, we don't tell them to the whole world, no? We don't tweet negative things about that person just to make that person feel offended by our tweets, no? I just think that's too immature. Such immaturity should just be thrown away, if we talk about living in this era. Knowing that this twitter thingy has brought many negative outcomes and caused negative effects on people, I would rather live without it than having those negative effects on me. And through twitter, people tend to spread assumptions and accusations about someone. So not cool..

Despite all the changes in this semester, I still survived until the very last week. I gotta thank the Almighty for giving me such strength to continue living even though I had been in the lowest position recently. I was too weak and depressed and sad, BUT I didn't show it on the outside. Only people who are close to me, know how I was like. Especially my roommates, because they are here with me all the time. Nevertheless, I want to leave Kuantan peacefully, with a warm heart and a great feeling. I have so many sweet memories regardless of my sadness and sorrow here, so I want to enjoy the last couple weeks that I have here. 

I would like to thank EVERYONE that I know throughout these two semesters. Everyone has been great and amazing in their own way, for making me happy and for making my 10 months in Kuantan becomes very meaningful. It's impossible for me to list down one by one, because it's a lot! Thank you for these beautiful and priceless 10 months. Thank you for everything. It's definitely one of the most memorable period in life, that is law foundation UiTM Kuantan 2013/2014. 

Keeping the hopes up

Assalamualaikum!

It's been 10 days since Malaysian aircraft MH 370 went missing. It's getting more and more excruciating and it gets scarier each time I think about it. Everyone has been asking the same question "where could it be?" and hijacking becomes more likely as the reason now. If only it's true, I hope everyone who's in the aircraft is doing fine and safe. I cannot imagine if my family members are in the plane. There's nothing more we can do except for non-stop doa and patience. Everything happens for a reason and there is definitely a reason behind the disappearance of the flight. Allah is testing the Muslims. Allah is testing our faith towards Him. There's still no updates about the missing flight though the press conference is held every evening. I can't picture how devastated their family members must be. Ya Allah, please keep them safe, be it dunya or akhira. Shower them with Your blessings. Amin. Let us all keep MH 370 in our thoughts and prayers, always. In Sha Allah.

Study week

Assalamualaikum. Hello everyone!

I'm on my study week leave, since the exam starts next week. So there's no more classes after this, except for tomorrow, where I have an extra class for law 087 with Madam Farah. I'm alone in the room, because both Hana and Su have classes, and Dayah is at her classmate's house. Wtv. Since I'm done with all of the assignments and presentation as well as the assessments, it's time for me to start studying for finals. I wish to get better pointer and better grades for this semester, if Allah wills. Law subjects are crazy, not even kidding. So I have to start focusing on finals right now. Better late than never, they say. Eceh. Pray for me. Hope everything goes smoothly. Amin

Hectic week

Assalamualaikum and good morning!

I have a lot of things to blog about lately, but I had so little time to even turn my computer on. It's been a hectic week, yet fun for me last week. As I had mentioned, last week was the final week of my foundation year. It marked the last week of us going to classes, getting up early in the morning and such. My final exam starts next Monday with social psychology (law 039) and ends on 3rd April with law 087. Besides, last week was the dateline for most of our group assignments, that's why I was quite busy with those stuffs. Alhamdulillah, I'm now free from any assignments and assessments for 6 months. Kehkeh. Last Thursday was my last day of classes, because on Friday we had a meet and greet session with Dean from Law Faculty in UiTM Shah Alam. It was interesting, but quite devastating to hear the strict qualifications to enter degree in law. The new qualification for degree in law is we have to pass the interview apart from getting cgpa 3.0 and above and muet band 4. I really hope I can get through the interview, if Allah wills.

So last Thursday, we had photo sessions with classmates and lecturers as it was the last day of classes. It's sad because we might not meet again in the future. It's not just the end of the semester, but it's also the end of our foundation year. Not until September do we get to see each other again, IF AND ONLY IF we meet again. Anything could happen in this 6 months, no? Nevertheless, I thank Allah for this beautiful experiences within a year in Kuantan. In some ways, it does make me become more matured that I was before. I become more independent without my family and value the friendship that I have. After all, friends are all I have here. Friends come and go, they say. But the REAL ones stay. I hope the friendship that I made will stay forever. Within a year, we've known so many people and we can see who are good and otherwise for us. We are who our friends are. Experiences that I had in Kuantan really have opened my eyes to see the real world. They have taught me a lot about life. I can never be thankful enough for everything that I've learnt here. 

Okay.

Last Friday, Su asked me and Hana to accompany her to her sister's house because her niece was sick. So her sister has asked her to stay at her house at look after her niece. Tapiiiii since anak kakak dia tu dah kluar hospital and dah okay sikit, suddenly her dad called her and asked her to balik Terengganu. And in that instance, the three of us naik kereta balik Terengganu. Su drove her car and we accompanied her. We stopped at Kemaman to find something to eat because all of us were hungry. We reached her house at about 2.30 p.m and had lunch because Su has asked her bibik to cook for us. Hehe. After that, we chilled in her room and it was raining. At 5 p.m, we headed to the stadium to watch the match between Terengganu and Jdt, together with Kina since she was also in Terengganu. Su bought the tickets for us from her friend. It was loud and there were so many guys and it was my first time watching football match at the stadium and it was very uncomfortable and the smell of cigarette smoke was so disturbing and etc. After all, it was a good game because Terengganu won. Kah. After the match, we headed out and looked for a restaurant to have our dinner. Then we went home and sleep. 

Yesterday morning, we had breakfast at Mcd at about 10.30 a.m before we left Terengganu. After that, at 12.30 p.m, we left Su's house and headed to Dungun to pick Aina up. Oh yes, Kina and Aina were with us too. Stopped by at Aina's house for prayers, then went back to Kuantan. We reached here at 6.40 p.m, Su and Aina were rushing because they had dinner to attend. All in all, it was a good weekend with good company. Alhamdulillah.

Boring night

Assalamualaikum!

I'm all alone in my room now, because Hana, Su and Dayah have night classes. I'm officially a loner right now. Kah. I have a discussion about my debate presentation later at 9 p.m. I have debate presentation tomorrow morning, which would be the last assessment for elc 092 subject. Yayyy us! In the afternoon, all of us will have a career talk from an outsider who comes to give a talk about our career path in the future. That means we won't have any classes after Zohor prayer. The program will start at 2 p.m till 3.30 p.m if I'm not mistaken. Whatever it is, I hope it will be interesting because talks always bore people especially the students, no? Hmm. 

Of the last week of my foundation studies #1

Assalamualaikum!

It's pretty crazy how fast time is flying without us noticing, no? In a blink of an eye, it has been nearly a year since I'm in Kuantan. Since June last year till now, it has been 9 months. And that 9 months has gone by really really fast. And now, I'm in my last week of my foundation year. MashaAllah I just can't believe it! Everything is coming to an end, but I hope my friendship with the amazing people that I met here won't end. I hope it lasts forever, even though forever doesn't exist. 

Throughout semester 1, I made new friends, I learnt new things and experienced new challenges. Being a student in law foundation, I had to go through so many challenges and had to face them by myself. Even though I had my friends helping me along the way, in the end I only had myself to depend on. They are very helpful though, seriously. But I can't depend on them too much because I am the only who wants to learn, I am the one who wants to succeed. So I had to do this on my own. The assignments that I got during the first semester was tough, but I managed to get through them. I managed to complete them within the time given. Alhamdulillah the lecturers were very supportive, and were willing to help if I had any problems regarding that particular subject. 

During semester 1, I registered myself in two clubs; Global Islamic Art (GIA) and also Kelab Debat dan Orator. Up until now, I'm still in those two clubs, as a member. I don't have any position in GIA, but I hold the position for special task committee in Kelab Debat dan Orator. It is actually a combination of both debat and debate. I'm so passionate about debating. I love debate because I think it's easy and interesting. I'm nowhere near a pro in debate though. I'm still learning from those who are more experienced than I am. Even though I didn't manage to join any tournaments outside the campus, at least I've contributed something for the club. The club has held several meetings and trainings, to train "virgin" debaters to be better in debating. I love this club, though I'm not a pro. I hope during degree time, I would have the time to join such activities and clubs. 

I came here on the 8th of June last year. I had 12 housemates altogether in a house. Our house is at the 4th floor, on the last building. Including myself, there were 13 of us living under one roof. Within an instance, we became so close. In about couple weeks, we became close to each other. Even though some were still shy and quiet, but most of us had clicked to one another within that particular month. I had two of my housemates who were also my classmates, so we went to classes together every single day. But in July, one of my roommates from Terengganu, Su's schoolmate, got an offer in IPG Samarahan. Since that is her dream since highschool, she accepted the offer and left UiTM. We were sad and happy for her at the same time, but had to accept that the offer is the best for her. The luck was on her side. The rest of us continued being so close to each other until the end of the semester. We had lunch and dinner together, hung out together, and did a lot of things together. I am so thankful to be blessed with such good friends like them. Not until Uni life do I realise the value of friendship when I am far from my family. 

Unfortunately, nothing ever stays. Time changed, things changed, people also changed. "All good things come to an end".

To be continued....

Sunday morning

Assalamualaikum and good morning!

I'm officially moving out today. You may think that "sempat lg kau blogging time tgh busy pindah eh amy?" haha actually we are all waiting for the lorry to come to load the things. My house now is like a medan perang. So many things are in the hall, I swear. We need to clear out this house by tonight because people are coming in tomorrow. So I'm going back to Kuantan this afternoon at 2.30 p.m. I know that's too early, I should've bought the ticket for 10.30 p.m bus, but Hana is having a presentation tomorrow morning, so I can't be selfish to myself, I have to think of her too, no? After we finish unpacking the things at the house, I'll be off to Kuantan again and only be back next month, after the final exam. I gotta go now, because the lorry is coming. 

Till then, may Allah bless! xx

Pray for MH370

Save them, Ya Allah. I beg You, please save them. Even if they can't be saved, keep them in Your blessings, always and forever. Semua yang terjadi ada hikmah. Ada sebab. Semua yang berlaku atas kehendak Allah. Whatever happens, have faith in Him. Hold on to Him. Only He can help. Only He can protect. We never know if this could happen to us. So be kind & have some respect. Don't speculate things because it will only make things worse. Pray to Him, that's the best for now. We haven't got any news up until now, but they are still searching for the aircraft. I can't imagine if it happens to my family members. Nauzubillah. Please Ya Allah, save them. Keep them away from harm.

Going home for the last time

Assalamualaikum!

Home is where the heart is. 
The fact that I'll be going back to my current house for the last time, kills. After I've finished my foundation, I'll be going back to my new house, which is also in Kajang. But the feeling's different, you know. The environment, the neighbourhood. Everything will be different later. I'm going home this evening at 5.30 p.m, for the last time. It hurts and it's sad to leave the place where you call home for nearly 10 years. Semua yang berlaku ada hikmahnya. Everything happens for a reason. I wish I know what the reason is. Ya Allah, ease everything. Amin. 

People are like seasons

Assalamualaikum!


It's amazing how people can change in a split second, no? It's crazy how they can be another person just without apparent reason. It's crazy how they can leave their stands and be another person that they said they would never be. It's like a miracle, but a disastrous one. They are becoming into another person that we never expect they would be. Like seasons, people also change. Seasons may change gradually, but people can change very drastically. I respect people who manage to change themselves from bad to a better person. But for otherwise, I'm not sure what to feel. What to say. What to respond.

Too bad that they've change. Into a bad person. Not to say bad, but into a person they said they would never be. "Time change, people change", they say. But if we limit ourselves into certain things, we would never be a person whom we promised we never be. Setiap orang tu lain lain amy, you have to accept it. I think it's true though. No matter how hard it is to accept, I just have to. We just have to accept that people can change. No matter how often they promise that they won't change, they will. 

Lesson learnt. The people whom we knew before, are different now. People whom we respected before, have lost our respect now. People whom we think so nice and decent and whatnot, are not so nice now. I'm not saying I'm nice and decent and perfect. No. I have flaws. But I won't change because of people. I won't change because of my surroundings. I never have a culture shock. And In Sha Allah never will. I pray to Allah to protect my iman, my strength to go through a few weeks left here. I pray so that they will come to their senses that life is not just about them. Their lives don't revolve around them. Wallahu'alam.

Shine bright like a diamond

Assalamualaikum and good morning!


I'm back in Kuantan since Monday morning, because I arrived here at 3 a.m. I'll be back in Kajang on Friday for the weekend since me and my family are moving out so I gotta help them pack and unpack. So my days have been normal (lol) I mean they passed by as usual. I have 4 classes today ( I know that's a handful), which starts at 9 a.m afterwards, and ends at 4 p.m. Aaaand I have a replacement class tonight at 8.10 p.m. We're going to watch a movie but I do not know what movie we're watching because we are joining the other class which is a bummer. I dislike joining other classes. T_T So let's hope that the movie won't be so boring or I might fall asleep during the movie. Eheh. 



It's been a while since I updated anything on my blog. It's just that I've been busy with my presentations and also the term paper. I'm done with 2 presentations on Monday, so that means I'm left with another one on Islamic Studies. And my term paper is done and has to be submitted tomorrow. It is exactly 19 days to my final exam people. 19 days are not long, it is only about 2 weeks and a half more. Thinking about finishing my foundation and leaving Kuantan as well my friends here makes me sad. Even though I want to be home as soon as possible, deep in my heart I feel half-hearted to say goodbye. Anything can happen and we do not what the future holds, no? I hope everything will go smoothly and may degree years bring us back together. Kalau ada jodoh mesti jumpa lagi. In Sha Allah.
