A visit to the other family’s.

above is the picture of me and the sister-like BFF of mine, years ago. we were so damn close back then that i often spend time with her kindred too, especially the siblings. though she is studying abroad now, i always find time to pay them a visit but obviously I rarely managed to do so.

my favorite; Nur 'Uzma Nabihah.

another sweethearts;

Nur Fatini Zahirah and Nur Irdina Fasihah.

plus the one-year-and-a-half-old youngest;

Hafiz Hakimi.

^-^

i'm so freaking glad to always be welcomed with open arms by this family. fyi, the BFF, Annis Athirah is the eldest out of 10. and i'm lovin' it; kids never fail to please me ;).

.

Even the second youngest thought that i'm actually her real sister who is abroad now and called me 'Along'. that was deeply moving for me T_T. but don't worry Along, nobody can ever replace you!

These people have become a part of my life. thus i wish the relationship will remain forever.

i miss you fucking much, Along! Loves~

my current daily-to-do list.

these have been my daily routine since last two days. but i still wake up late though. *gulp*. the tasks are undeniably simple but such skills are still needed to complete 'em.

and yea, im on diet. am on diet. (starting tomorrow haha). seeing the old photos taken about two years ago (particularly those captured during secondary school) really gave me great heartache. urrggh, i've becoming uglier these days ;( i'll only be having a plate of oat for breakfast and two scoops of rice with veggies for lunch + dinner. no more herbalife. have gotten poorer these days. aihhh~

Let's learn Poetry!

Selamat siang!

.

it's 10.33am and i just woke up from bed. well, when it comes to holidays, i just can't differentiate days and nights. *chuckle*

.

btw, going back to the point, since i rarely go back home, the feeling is somehow slight odd. seeing the furnitures be re-arranged, sometimes i feel like staying at strangers'. so, once im home, i often look around and check things out as if i never saw 'em before. and most crazily, they are actually mine. aigo~ so in a conclusion, as result of my 'penggeledahan' today, i found these old assignments i did during the era of foundation studies a.k.a. matriculation and just got attracted to the one i did for Poetry class back then. owh, i really miss that moments. we often learnt new things from the lecturer; Miss Hanita Hanim and most importantly we were trained to be such creative and critical thinker. her ideas always made me amazed. yes, really.

.

okay, leaving behind those thoughts, im so inspired to recall back things we learnt back then. for the assignment i mentioned just now, the task was to compose about 20 poems with various types. there is a LOT of them. but we just got to learn some which are not hard to be remembered. and i got to learn some more during my first semester at the main camp. here are they and the points below each are the characteristics;

.

Miss you so much my sweetheart

.

.

enough for today. in other words, i kinda already got bored. but mind you, not getting bored of these amazing kinds of poem, but to type them in an organize way. i bet u already got bored too. btw, it is noticable that all those examples made by me a year ago were quite 'childish' and aren't 'artistic' at all. well, its because they were composed for the sake of learning. so instead of using bombastic words, they were just meant to at least fulfill the characteristics, or else, we'd get no marks.

.

see ya next time with more lessons.

adios!

.

.

Hepy hols, loves!

,

it's been about 20 hours since i arrived home last night. the feeling is so undescribable. seriously. for someone like me, though living not so far away from the campus, mind you, i rarely go back home. the last time i went home was during eid, which was about two months ago. but its not that im kinda hardworking girl whose principal priority is study. its just that if going home would not let me spend all the time with the family, i prefer to just stay at campus. i hate being home while there is a bunch of works to be done. and since the ASEAN Logics Conference is postponed to February 2010, i don't have to go back to campus earlier and surely will be having more time to just be home ;)

.

and yea, will be learning to cook this hols! -just because i am 20 years old and of the awareness that i'll be a wife and mother in about 3 years time-

.

btw, my first day of this semester break has been spent by assisting my parents at school. they had that Quality Day thing this morning. i've been doing this since years ago, mind you. but this time, the experience was much nicer since both my parents are working at the same school and my ayah angkat too ;) it was pleasant to get to talk to him. ayah angkat is actually my best friend a.k.a Along's father. since we used to be so close, i was unofficially accepted as the second daughter of the family. Abah is so inspiring. he lectured me on job markets thigy; supported me to always look for good chances and grab any oppurtinities for the sake of bright future. had so much fun during that 'matured' conversation. already reached 20 after all, aihhhhh~

.

back to the point, unlike previous years, instead of being in charge of price giving, i was with the pre-school kids all the time. and as expected, kids are AMAZING. love 'em all. and the most enjoyable thing was that they all welcomed and accepted me. we got closer in no time. the feeling was damn incredible! i love kids so damn much. there is an american proverb which says;

.

"the heart is healed by being with children"

.

and i seriously believe it! though it was so much tiring but i had so much fun there. they made me recall on things i rarely think of;

.

How will i raise my kids in the future?

How can i make sure they grow up excellently?

What are the right ways to let them excellent in both religious and worldly affairs?

Shall i be strict to them?

How can i encourage and inspire them to always be the best since the very beginning? (unlike me)

Is it okay to teach them 3 languages; Malay, English, Arabic at the same time?

Is the decision to send them to chinese school good?

.

and bla bla bla...

.

owh, i guess i thought too much. like i said, the number has changed to 20, after all. suddenly became mature in no time. eceh~

.

can't wait to finish the degree, btw. about 3 more years to go. the father said that he will financially support me to further study in Master of TESL once i graduate later. heart this so much ;)

.

oh yea, congratulations to those UPSR candidates who passed with flying colors! to those who didn't make it, don't worry, chances are a lot more in the future. and good luck to all SPM-ers!

...

.....

alright then. enough of it. will be updating on my cats' story later.

.

again, have a nice hols, IIUMers! :)

.

see ya next semester. will be missing the adorable BFFs! *hugs*

a sigh of disappointment.

Two weeks have passed.
Apparently there was nothing to be content with.
Up till now, I keep on wondering why.

Oh, life is so complex.

The pain is much more unbearable though.
Nothing is more painful than realizing that you are actually nobody to people who you thought and called ‘good friends’.

Aih, wish I was given options. Wish I could turn back time.
Shouldn't have wanted to be this way in the first place.

Being altruistic is much more tiring than I expected.

Oh what did I do that I deserve this. Never wished to ;(

Now I have to bear it for few more years. and keep pretending like I am living such a heavenly life.

Aihhhh~

the most hateful weeks to go through.

good day, people.
frankly speaking, i do dislike examinations. really. if i have zillion of words to express it, i would have listed each of them.

fine then, call me ridiculous. well, that's me. i hate doing revisions. i prefer learning in class, finishing assignments and showing off during presentations. haha. the besties would surely call me hypocrite for saying this. haha. because i did occassionaly fall asleep in some classes especially ones that i disliked. shall i be more specific? okay, they were Dr Serdar's and Dr Affandi's.

however, no matter how much i hate exams, nothing will change. i won't be graduating if i don't pass all courses, after all.
i surely don't wanna waste my age here though i do love uia that much. *chuckle*

i've just recovered from high fever, btw. 3-day sufferings were enough to kill me. *cough* (but i do prefer suffering from fever than having to cram for good grades like crazy)

already done with Presentation Skills & Critical Thinking exam last saturday. sigh, still can't expect for an A though owning the highest carry mark among classmates.

bla bla bla... *when will you stop babbling, and start revising, little rascal?*

fine. enough for now. it's past 12am and i only have covered a quarter of Grammatical Analysis syllabuses and the exam will take place in about 14 hours from now.

warm hugs for all :)

toodles~
