2nd Day. September 3, 2008

Sept 2, 7.30 am. I was laying lazily on my bed in my sweet old home in Kota Bharu. After refreshing myself with some bath, my fellow classmate called me on the phone, telling me to get ready by 9 am because he was gonna pick me up. Oh yeah, we were going back to KL today. I was quite satisfied because I managed to spend the 1st of Ramadhan with my parents and my little brother.

By 11 am, we were already doing a 120km/hour on the highway. Gile laju, but it was nothing for me, really. My classmate/friend who is about 12 years older than me, was happy enough to share some of his personal stories as we strolled along the highway. I, on the other hand, was sporting enough to listen to his stories as I sat on the back seat.

Vroom vroom vroom, by 3 pm we had arrived at our beloved apartment. It was a non-stop journey, you know. In fact we had a lecture session on 6pm, that was why I was so eager to arrive quickly here.

One must say, I had been weather-shocked. It was really hot in Kota Bharu, and there was no single raindrops at all. I guess I was blessed with this cloudy, breezy weather in my place here.. which was very convenient for my fasting condition. Alhamdulillah. Haha. May the good weather continues. Had a very nice buka puasa with my fellow classmates, which were about 30 of them at the mamak’s joint next to our class.

As I’m writing now, my fingers are all freezing. Gile sejuk. I’m sure I’ll go straight to the bed after this. After all, I have got class on 5 pm today. Alright then. See ya soon.

Momento June 24, 2008

This evening I will have my last paper for the 3rd semester final exam. And on Thursday, I will go back to Kota Bharu. What a relief. This semester started with me and some of my fellow classmates came a week late and ended up being warned by our lecturers. Not to mention, I had skipped lots of classes for this semester. Let’s say that this semester was my worst record. Haha

Still 3 semesters to go before our practical posting. We have been impatiently waiting for that. We used to always nagging about being in the college. But deep in my heart, I’m so gonna miss all of my classmates then. Well, it is still another year to go.

One thing for sure, we are gonna do something that will make us never forget this time of our lives. My classmates have organized a trip to Kota Bharu on August. At first, I laughed off the plan but when I was told about the trip’s objectives, I did not hesitate to go. It is going to be fun, I suppose.

On the other hand, I should admit that I don’t really like this college but I’m so glad that I’ve been given a bunch of superb cool classmates that always make me smile and laugh. Thumbs up to those guys. I could never ask for another set of classmates. Never ever. I’m so gonna miss them, till we meet again next month. Cheers guys.

I finally got my last semester’s final exam result on Tuesday. My GPA slightly decreased compared to the previous semester. Do you want to know how much I got? Em.. Last semester’s subjects were lot tougher than before. Probably the most stressful semester ever, so far. In fact, I wasn’t studying seriously at that time. I devoted myself to having fun every weekends and only did my revisions on the study week. I’m a very lazy person, you know. Oh well, do you still want to know? I think I’ve had enough with all that reasons. No, I won’t tell you. But it is 3.5 above so I wouldn’t complain much about it because 3.5 is my personal minimum target.

Taken with my good old Nokia 6600.

I’m gonna go to Lowyat Plaza this Saturday. Went there last month to help my friend looking for her new laptop. And now I’m gonna get one for myself. Full credit to my far away sister and my parents for the financial help. I owe you guys lots! Speaking of my sister, she called me last week from Glasgow. I wanted to hear my nephew, Danial, speaking in English. I got to speak to him, and asked him to talk to me in English but he told me that he couldn’t do it. Maybe he was a bit shy. Or maybe it was what my sister told me that he was busy concentrating on playing Playstation. Oh how I miss that thick Penang accent. Still fresh in my mind when he used to always come into my room and asked me if he could play the computer games. I also got to talk to his little bro, Demyan. The cutest boy in the world. Aahh.. I was so happy to hear their voices, while knowing the fact that they are thousands miles away.

Oh I will sit for my final exam next week. But hey, I don’t have an idea when will I start to do some revision. I hope to get 4.00 though, because as a matter of fact, this semester’s subjects are all about what I used to learn when I was in my SPM. Yeah, it is boring you know. I even skipped lots of lectures session, mostly in last week. No way, I have to think decently. I got too much things to care about this coming weeks, particularly the Euro 2008 tournament and lots of TV shows to catch. Man, what should I do? LOL. See ya later.

Skipper Inc. May 12, 2008

Forgive me because I’m totally lazy to blog completely in English this time. Mungkin sebab tadi baru abis klas Bahasa Kebangsaan. Lecturer tu bersungguh-sungguh mengajar even hari dah lewat petang. Aku pulak, sangat sangap.. kelas pagi tadi aku tak pegi. Klas sejarah rasanya. Nevermind. Rasa letih seluruh badan bile aku bangun pukul 10 pagi tadi. Very Unusual. Tapi tak terlalu letih untuk taip mesej to my friend, Zila. Told her to sign my attendance. So sweet of her. Kesalahan disiplin aku yang entah kali keberapa. Sigh.

Nothing to tell about my day today. Mampu bergerak untuk ke kelas jam 2 petang. Kelas ape eh.. oh kelas English. Classmates yang perihatin tentunya akan bertanya. “Yaya, nape kau tak datang kelas? Yaya, hang kuat ponteng la.. hang pi mana? Yaya, hang tido tak bangun apa?” And lots of questions. I just smiled and told them that I was not feeling well. Meanwhile, Zila wasn’t around at that time. I guess die pulak tukar shift ponteng dengan aku. Sally wasn’t there also, I thought she was still back at her kampung, join the upacara penghantaran menantu. Aku duduk paling belakang dalam kelas so bile lecturer suruh someone tutup pintu bilik kuliah, budak-budak laki kelas aku sesedap rasa bagi sokongan moral a.k.a big applauses for me. Padahal bukan aku yang duduk paling dekat dengan pintu. I was so sorry, just didn’t have the mood to bergurau with them.

Next class, the Bahasa Kebangsaan. Lecturer tu mengingatkan kami tentang Hari Ibu yesterday dan satu lagi hari istimewa yang bakal menjelma pada 16 Mei iaitu Hari Guru. Hello Miss.. Itu hari besday saya la! Hoped to say it out loud. She did ask me to sing a song for my mom. I wasn’t sporting enough to do it. Class ended at 6 pm. I was going to ask some of my classmates to go lepak-lepak tepi swimming pool. Tapi, dah ada segerombolan students dah ambik tempat. Cesh. So I ended up watching my classmates guys playing football. Wargh. Lemah satu badan rasanya. The last time aku rasa camni ialah bila time nak ambik result final exam hari tu. Tak bermaya. And so I think I’m gonna take some time to rest.

See you later. The title of this entry seems to suggest something else. I just can’t survive any semester without skipping the classes. Tabiat semulajadi. One of my Indulgences. Please allow this young woman her indulgences. Yeah.

I’m gonna come up with Teacher’s Day entry or Birthday Girl entry soon. Or both. See you then.

Starry Night April 8, 2008

Several posts ago, I told everyone that I wouldn’t attend the dinner gala of Health Ministry sponsored students. I was proudly being the one who pushed everyone to boycott the event. Now please allow me to show you some photos of the event. You may find me in some of the photos. Yes, I did attend the so-called glamorous event. Haha. Enjoy viewing those pictures. You can see hilarious gestures of my friends a.k.a classmates. Taken using Mr Nikon.

Hang Out March 31, 2008

Oh April March 29, 2008

I’m on a very stressful mood today. It is all about me being here living as a student. The most gruesome thing is my lecturer has rejected my report on Global Warming. I have to do it all over again. I don’t know what he was thinking. He gave me questions about global warming which I had to answer with lots of agreements, arguments, and disputes. I’m still puzzled; don’t know how to figure it out.

Meanwhile, we are fast approaching the month of April. Many big things are gonna happen. On 6^th of April, there will be an annual dinner function of Health Ministry students scheduled at Hotel De Palma Ampang. I’m about 80% not sure about attending it. Most probably I’ll not go. Even though my name is on the Best Students Award list. However, I’ll try to think about it. The truth is I don’t really like to be at a certain function where people wearing fancy clothes doing nothing but seeing other people doing nothing. It is somewhat dumb, you know. What they will be doing apart of eating fancy food and watching other people? It is not that I’m an anti-social, it is what we called wasting our time and money. No offense though. Haha.

10th till 16th will be a week of final exam. I’m not well-prepared yet. There are so much thing to memorize. Blah blah blah.

The most anticipated thing is that on the night of 16th, I’ll be on the bus to Kuala Terengganu to visit my brother’s place at Akademi Bomba. I’ll meet the cutest kid alive, El-Arshad, my nephew. Also looking forward to visit some nice places in Terengganu if I’m lucky enough. Maybe I’ll spend a day or two there before going back to Kota Bharu.

The next best thing would be meeting my family, especially my parents. Gonna spend the whole 2 weeks to distract them with my presence in the house a.k.a perabih beras. Haha.

Tired March 22, 2008

The last 3 days were the most tiring days of my life. Had to submit 2 assignments in a day. And had to deal with 3 exams in 2 days. I didn’t get enough sleep but never mind. Had to juggle those things in a matter of a week. And most importantly, I didn’t get the chance to go back to my hometown because of them. Damn.

I spent my free time going to watch a movie on Thursday. Watched a new horror movie, “Shutter”, based on a photographer, starring Joshua Jackson. And then, on Friday I was about to go to Serdang Hospital and I canceled it at the very last minute due to the delayed train to Serdang. I was a bit sad because my dad was also there and I didn’t manage to meet him. Gotta wait til next month.

I was waiting for the train when my dad called and told me not to come to the hospital as it was about to rain. All I did then was buying an LRT ticket to Sogo to meet my friend. And there I was looking on my potential new boyfriend. Don’t get me wrong, dude. I was looking at digicams at Pertama Complex and Maju Junction. Found some decent models at decent price tags there. Can’t wait to get my hands on one of them. But I’ll be looking elsewhere first.

Gotta pen-off for now. I’m hungry. I would like to wish a “Selamat Pengantin Baru” to my friend, Kak Natrah who is getting hitched today in Johor. Sorry I couldn’t attend the ceremony. Wish u the happiest life. Lpas ni x bleh lepak same2 lagi. Haha.

3 Guys, A Girl and A Sewage System. March 14, 2008

I should be able to go back to my hometown next Wednesday. Really looking forward to it. But now the chance seems to be gone slowly when my “beloved” lecturer of Water Supply and Sewage System subject gave me a group assignment. I got 3 guys as my partners. No, actually those 3 guys chose me as their partners. They told everyone that anything with me in it would be a major success. Haha. That was a great compliment. I was quite flattered. tq.

We are scheduled to present our group assignment on Monday,24th of March. So that is kind of bothering me now. If we managed to finish it before next Wednesday, then I would be happily go back to Kota Bharu.

Let me spare some details about the assignment and also my..er..partners.We were told to complete necessary informations on an equipment called “Rotating Biological Contactor” which is used in wastewater treatment process. We never learn about it though. But there is a place called the Internet where we can get a scoop on the subject. My partners, Shahrul, Feroh and Abg Tajul will put all their hopes on me as they are not an Internet expert. Fine, I’ll do the work alone.

The guys will be useful in some other tasks. Shahrul maybe will assist me in compiling the PowerPoint slide and writing reports. Abg Tajul and Feroh will be the man to finance our project.

Oh2 ok.. i should start looking for some raw materials now. Be back later. And lastly, i would like to dedicate an Al-Fatihah to my friend’s dad who passed away peacefully last week ago in Kota Bharu due to lung cancer. Amin.

Old Memories. March 10, 2008
