A special entry :)

I'm taking this opportunity to post a new entry on a special date which comes once in four years! Woohoo!!! About me? Sorry, today's post is not about me, it's about the special date, naughty you! :P Well, err, hmm... *thinking hard* i honestly don't know what to write. Okay, okay, I lied to you, this entry is about me after all! *gedik giggle* Had an awesome (reunion) day with my ex-housemates. :) Anddd, alhamdulillah, abang edy's loan has been approved and we are waiting anxiously for the new car! *if you're happy and you know it clap your hand*clap*clap* And I guess that's all la kot? Maybe after I got my offer letter, I will have more story for you guys, hope so? :)

Wait for me

Hi everyone! How long has it been? A month, i guess? Well, things have been busy lately. NO, I am still not working or studying. :P Alaa, busy with my family laaa. Anyway, I have applied formally to UM for the Masters research program, and I am still waiting for the outcome. Sighh. I dont know how long will this take. But hopefully I can start in March! Because I need my allowance badlyyyy!!! :P Except for that, there's nothing much to update. Owh, abang edy's car loan has been approved but he needs a guarantor from his parents with at least 3 months' pay slip but his parents are both rubber tappers. :( I dont know how hes going to solve this. Hope everything will be okay. And owhhh, Fia's brought her new bf home. Well, I guess he's okay, not sure about my parents, but so far, all us siblings are okay with him. :) And Fia's will start working permanently at YL Chee firm in March. Congrates!! Ida hasn't find her luck yet, but Im sure she will soon! :) Usaha tangga kejayaan! Or in english effort is the way to success!! (Btoi ka?? hahaha). I guess there's still a lot to update huh? Anyway byeeee. Have a nice day!

Statistics and Hope

I am now fully realized that I do not trust anything unless I experience things myself. I know, this is kinda stubborn, but the truth is, there is NO TRUTH!! For example, this person says I know this place called ____ is the best in the world, and then I asked, have u been to ____? and he/she answered, 'nope, never been there before'. So tell me, honestly, how can I trust that his/her statement is true? This might sounds like a discrimination, but this is from my point of view, so I also realized that there can be no truth because two persons can do the same thing, but can experience it differently. For example, I studied in Sydney and has been to Melbourne before, and I still think Sydney is the best! But some of my friends that studied in Sydney and has been to Melbourne, think that Melbourne is the best! See? If I have not experienced this myself, I might think that Melbourne is the best city in the world til the day I die even though I haven't actually been there. Tricky huh? Well that's why I never trust what people said or what the newspaper wrote or what the statistics told me. Because even if it says 99%, if you are one of the lucky person in the 1% group, this statistic does not apply to you, and hence you can say the statistics is somewhat irrelevant.

Well, the reason I blabbered this much about percentage and statistics, is because I know someone who reads a lot of these knowledgeable (I doubt that now!) articles, and thinks his/her common knowledge is outstanding, and hence he/she has the right to judge other people's personality or mentality or whatever. There will never be two beings that are 100% similar. Someone is calling me. So I'll stop now. Byeee. :)

Now and Then

I guess most people will be posting about the new year coming. :)

Year 2011. Alhamdulillah, I graduated from Sydney Uni. Travelled to a lot of places. Things move slowly, but alhamdulillah, I managed to get scholarship(s) to do my Masters degree. A year that I managed to experience working environment (although not for long, :p). A year that him and I are able to plan on taking a big step in our relationship. So Alhamdulillah for all that. :) Haa, and you know, a year where my sis started to wear hijab permanently, insyaAllah.

But I am still welcoming 2012. I will start pursuing my Masters degree. Will start saving money drastically for our ehem*engagement*ehem. And I want to get slimmer if possible!!! :(

Just hoping to be a better muslimah, a better student, a better person and a better daughter. I am not perfect, but I am hoping to make people around me happier each days. Arguments and fights and misunderstandings happen, so I truly apologize for any mistakes or misdoings. And dear Allah, Kau ampunkanlah dosa-dosaku, jauhilah aku dari kejahatan manusia, bencana dan gangguan syaitan, berkatilah perjalanan hidupku dan tunjukkanlah hidayahMu. Ameen.

I have this issue in mind. Ade seorang la hamba Allah ni, dia kate lebih baik bace tahlil sorang-sorang daripada beramai-ramai, sebab kalau semua orang bace yassin, siapa yang nak amik pahala mendengar. Pada pendapat saya la kan, mustahil kita tak mendengar bacaan kita sendiri setiap kali membaca. kecuali orang yang da ditarik nikmat mendengarnya la kan. betul tak? Pendapat saya boleh je bace beramai2, still dapat pahala. pahala membaca dapat, pahala mendengar pon dapat. cuma tak silap saya adabnya kena baca serentak la, tak leh tunggang langgang. ade orang mengambil mudah ayat ni. pahala mendengar da sama dengan membaca al-Quran, tak payah la nak baca. tapi kalau kita membaca, dua-dua pahala pon dapat kan? Lagipun mungkin ayat tu untuk orang yang contohnya, bisu? tak dapat membaca, so dapat la pahala mendengar. ataupun yang pekak? tak dapat pahala mendengar, dapat pahala membaca. Ini cuma pendapat saya je la. Cuma saya rasakan kalau nak buat ibadah tu, mungkin buat je la, nawaitunye kerana Allah. Pahala tu kan belakang cerita, sebab bukan kita decide berapa banyak pahala kita dapat, tetapi Dia yang menentukan. Islam itu tidak menyusahkan. :)

Okay, with this, I will end my post with HAPPY NEW YEAR! :))))

What do you want from me?

It was uncontrollable. I just dont know what do you want from me? You said to me like 10000 times how you prefer USM over UITM scholarship. Okay, I'll follow your words. And the head of cluster decided for me to choose UM to pursue my Masters, then okay. True, she replied my email quite late, and she had a lot of work to do so she will be busy for these two weeks, understandable. I totally understand her situation. Then what is the problem? Why are you asking me to choose UITM now? Why are you asking me what if she quits her job? She's a lecturer, a professor lagi tu, why would she just quits when she gives me a lot of proposal examples plus one of her student thesis for me to do my proposal? Why would you say you dont want me to be too dependent on her? I am not too dependent on her. It's natural to finalize my proposal with her. I did the proposal myself. I dont understand. What exactly do you want from me? It's not like I can apply for research degree with everyone, and just reject after they have discussed their projects with me. That's not the way. I know it's getting late, and the progress is slow, but it's getting there. BE PATIENT. I dont understand how the world works 100 years ago, but it sure is not the same now. Maybe I overreacted a bit, but the truth is, I still dont know what do you want from me. Maybe you hate my existence? I'm tired, seriously.

Warm wishes

Facebook is full with surprises. Truly happy for my schoolmate who is married and getting married. I guess, it is time for our era huh? :) Been invited by lots of samurian, but had to turn them down mostly due to transport problem, and the time restriction (betui ka ni?). But wishes all of you the best in your relationship. The recent ones are Kamal Iqraam and Muhd Haidar, my classmates back in Sri Kelana. Kecik-kecik dulu mentah main bagai nak rak, da kawin da rupanye. Hehehehe. Tahniah korang! :) Ape perasaanye ek apabila dah bergelar seorang suami/isteri? Again, congrats!

Underground and Beyond II

Heee. Okay this entry is about my trip in Wrexham, Wales. A very nice place, kinda reminds me of Adelaide, a bit. :) It's not that modern, but it's not that kampung-ish as well. Just nice. ;)

25th October 2011

Arrived like 1500-ish in Wrexham. We stayed in Holt Lodge Hotel. Had to admit that it is a very nice hotel! Nice room, nice building, nice landscape - all in one NICE! :) Was tired from the ride, so we did not go anywhere.

See I've told you! A very nice place. :)

26th October 2011

Went to Ida's university (Glyndwr Uni) because Ida and friends wanted to clear things up on their convocation. Oh forgot to tell you that yesterday Linda and Dodo joined us. :) Then waited for the rental cars. Went straight to the town, and did a bit of shopping. Heaven! I bought 3 handbags for myself! Woohoo! Did not even cause me more than 10 pounds. Just when I finished shopping, my stomach growled. (Waktu shopping lupa diri, lepas tu baru lapar! Hehehe) Ida took us to Chicken's Cottage and I had lamb burger - I know it's kinda weird to hear someone eating lamb at a chicken-named restaurant. :P Then we went to Chirk Castle - MasyaAllah what a beautiful scenery. But we did not stay there for too long, Mak rasa tak sedap hati because dah nak maghrib. Then, we went to Ruben's house for dinner, but I have not eaten anything as Mak already felt sleepy, so Ida took us back to the hotel.

At Glyndwr University

In the town of Wrexham - notice the Clarks outlet behind us. *drooling*

At Chirk Castle - a picturesque scenery

At different angle but still magnificent the way it is.

27th October 2011

Today is the day! Ida and her friends were very excited. Why? Because it was their graduation day! So congrats! If people say you do not deserve it, ignore them because you know how hard you worked to be on that stage, to earn the applause. Hehehe. So congrats again! After that, later at night, we went celebrating at a fancy Indian restaurant. Love the food! And someone asked me 'Yang adik ni umur berapa?' Woohoo mudakah aku. Hehehe. *whistling*

Congrats ida! I want to upload two more pics, but because of the pain-in-the-ass internet and I dont know how to rotate the pic, gomenasai ida!

28th October 2011

Awesome day! Because it's shopping day! Gila3! Well, mostly window shopping je. Went back to Wrexham to get souvenirs. And more handbags! *evil grin* Well the day ended just like that. But everyone has this feeling like 'Im the richest person in the world'. Yup, totally satisfied.

29th October 2011
Departed from Manchester Airport at 0900ish. Transit at Abu Dhabi again, had McD which was super expensive. Arrived at 1500-ish on the next day.

Gave up with the photo upload tool. 10 kali nak upload baru nak dapat perfect upload. Huhu. Just want to show how magnificent the design was, just like that. I thought of this design similar to plant cells - how it shapes the plant into what it is - the same with the airport. Hehehe. Too much, I agree. :)

Alhamdulillah, a wonderful journey and experience. Pengalaman yang tidak manis itu tidak bermaksud yang ia tidak bermakna, kerana ia masih boleh membentuk kita menjadi insan yang lebih baik. That is how I appreciate experience. No matter how bitter or sweet the memories/experiences are, never complain about it! There is always something you can achieve out of them, be it small or big. Live life positively. :)
