what i like about short semester i'm taking.

short semester has just begun. though it's boring for some people, it's a pleasure for me. yeah, honestly though it's only one subject; Arabic language level 3.

.

.

i like it because i have more free time to study.

.

i like it bacause i get to do things i couldn't do on previous hectic long semester.

.

i like it because the new environment is silent and peaceful.

.

i like it because the new room mates are all nice.

.

i like it because the class is enjoyable and fun.

.

i like it because the lecturer is cool.

.

i like it because i can always go home :)

.

i like it because i don't really have to rush for classes.

.

i like it because the time is just nice for me to be on diet. i likeee!

.

i like it because i love Arabic :)

.

i like it because i won't be stressful again.

.

and so much more things...

.

a new post, finally!

it's been a while, huh. after some times (let me count...71 days?..) i eventually got the guts to continue writing here.

ohh, i just remembered how i loved blogging but due to a few events to be handled, tests, assignments, presentations, class projects and final exams, the favorite pastime just needed to be forgotten for a while.

yeah, the second semester has just ended last Friday.

so goodbye to the holy land but hell, will be hi-ing it back in 2 weeks time. sigh.

home now. ahh, what a relief. i just love being home. wish i won't have to go back to uia. staying with the beloved family and the lovely cats, i won't have anything more to ask.

plus the latest wonderful additions in my family, i'd never deny the arabic phrase; 'baiti jannati'.

as mentioned before, the short semester will begin in 2 weeks time. what i love the most is that i'll be taking an Arabic class ONLY. *grin* but hell, guess i've forgotten almost all Arabic vocabularies i've learnt during school times.

hmm since it's been a while since i last wrote here, i kind of have nothing to say.

eh no, i actually have loadss to say. there are so many things i missed to keep them here.

but yeah, im not that rajin jugak to write everything up here so lets just have some photos as recaps of what i've been doing, having and going through in previous time :)

IMCDW 2010

.

good day people. it's 1.48 in the morning, and, it's Saturday, January 30. and, i'm already at IIUM. and, the class will begin on Monday but i came back about 3 days earlier. duh?. and, instead of working on English Lit assignment or even preparing for Psychology mid term exam, i am now doing some stuffs for the coming IMCDW. the mid semester break which was not more than 5 days has been spent at home. yea, just home. during those heavenly days, i was just sleeping, eating, and relaxing. maybe i should just use the word 'hibernate'. works? they were never being unpacked. untouched. remained in the bag till end of the hols. gahh, gile pemalas. noooo, i was just tired of facing those things. my days at IIUM before were already killing me. thus i no longer wanted to see those books, documents at home or i'd vomit. ohh please. fine, done with mid sem break since it's already OVER.
.

now i'm back to the busiest plus melancholic days, at the hellish place. okay, stop babbling.
.

though ASEAN LOGICS has not begin yet i'd like to post about the IMCDW which will take place 2 days after it. well it's surely because i surely won't be having much time for such things like internet surfing, sleeping, and sleeping, and sleeping, bla bla. bukan lah nak kecoh ape kan but it's just my responsibility to promote this as Asiah's MRC and also my definite job as Asst. Head Comm for Publicity and Promotion bureau.

Asiah's Special USC '09 Appreciation Dinner Night

(February 12, 2010.)

23rd december night- a night of satisfaction.

it's finally over.
our marching team didn't make it to the first place ;(
but homg we are the overall champion!
what a great satisfaction :)

thanks a LOT and congratulations to the hardworking VIPs; the Principal herself, the fellows who were also the advisors, the MRCs and BRCs who worked as working committees and game managers, the athletes, & any anyone involved!

.

after waiting for years, after being the second place for few times, we finally brought back the champion trophy! lols.

while were on duty at the FSC for basketball game. (it was raining at that time. so instead of capturing the players' or even the court itself, we were in the frame :) muke gile oily okayy )

the marchers during rehearsal night.

the bestie pun nak menyibuk jugak being my assistant for a night. lol.

except for the left one, these are the backbones for marching team; the mascot aka the ass. manager, the team manager, & kak Husna the trainer.

yeah, we made it!

MAHALLAH ASIAH the Champion!

.

"Look up, Get up, but Never Give up.

Together We Fight, Together We Win!"

.

special msg to the marchers;

.

congratulations, people. i really had a great time with all of you.

thanks a lot for everything. thanks a lot for the amazing moments.

HEART you so much :)

best of luck in everything and see you again next year, perhaps? lol :)

.

University Sport Carnival 2009

UNIVERSITY SPORT CARNIVAL 2009

.

17th to 23rd December 2009

.

i love the motto; "Reveal Your Talent, Be A Champion"

.

.

and as usual, i am not excluded from being involved in this event. im not the athlete though, but one of the working committees who have been working hard since last semester.

.

im in charge of Marching for the mahallah or in other words, the manager for the game. handling 30 people isn't that easy. fortunately i got an assistant. the training has been started every night; 9 to 12, since last week and will keep going until the last day a.k.a the closing ceremony of this event which is on the 23rd december. my night is being spent at the basketball court these days. lol.

.

for the centre level, i'll be in charge of the preparation and technical bureau for basketball game.

.

the 'best' part is that i'll be skipping class. HELLLLLLLLLLL.

.

wish i won't be missing a lot ;(

.

do come and support us, IIUM-ers!

.

RLSC 2009; another tiring day.

We just had this small event this morning till about 2 hours ago. It was the Room Leaders Short Course, Mahallah Asiah, 2009.

.

As one of the MRCs, I was apparently not excluded. Yeah, for sure. The worst part was that I was the MC for the event. With all mistakes I did, plus the clumsiness, I’d be one of the best nominees to receive ‘the worst MC’ award. Sucks. Me.

.

the MRCs.

the doesn't-deserve-a-caption one.

a great combo :]

.

But still, it was obviously fun. and i did eat a LOT. Full stop.

it's such a good start. i guess.

lThe new semester has just started about 6 days, 1 hour and 58 minutes ago. As usual, most classes have already begun. It’s only four days per week but the schedule seems to be full. Got only 15 contact hours this semester; am not to be narrow-minded but I don’t think I’d make good grades with loads of curricular activities. (what the hell, study lagi penting kott). Whatever~

anyway, I dropped Public Speaking and Contemporary Issues class just because I wanna have a break from having night classes this semester. Night classes are horrible. They just make me sick; my schedule gets mixed up when there are night classes. Fine, I’ll be taking the subject next semester.

Another subject that was successfully dropped is Creative Thinking and Problem Solving. And the reason is because it’s been my dream since years ago to have only one class in a day. So basically, my class schedule for Mondays and Wednesdays is so full while Tuesdays and Thursdays will be the heavenly days. Owh, no classes on Friday. Hoorayyyyy~

There are 3 BIG events coming and I got such a BIG commitment to all of them. University Sport Carnival on 17th to 23rd December, Inter-Mahallat Cultural and Debate Week on early January, and ASEAN Logics Conference on coming 2nd February.

Apparently I am damn hectic these days. This semester will be the busiest one that I’ve ever had so far.

however, these photos are obviously a contradiction to everything I just posted.

'2012', KLCC, Dec 10, 2009

the babes; Ruqayyah, Sha, Sakinah, Fatin, & me.

This is just the way I live. to be specific, the way i prefer to live. No matter how busy I am, I’d never put off the dates with the besties. Lol.

into the new beginning.

"If you can imagine it, you can achieve it.

If you can dream it, you can become it"

-William Arthur-

the final examination result is already out. thank God though it's not with flying colors but at least i managed to pass the worst subject ever; History of The English Language. opps, correction. the subject isn't worst, it was me who had so much troubles in handling this subject. it is an amazing one for those who love history and can remember all those phonetics whatever stuffs. the lecturer is amazing too. gonna miss you, Dr Normala.

the rest is just owh-kayyy. most unexpectable is Islamic Ethics. got A- for that. i didn't study well for the test but mind you, i did goreng2 like crazy in the exam hall. so i guess it worked ;)

but the one i'm happy with is that i got A for the Presentation Skills & Critical Thinking class. you'd have no idea how hard it was for me. preparing a speech about every two weeks wasn't as easy as ABC for someone who is damn lazy and loves to procrastinate like me. so yea, im extremely excited and just can't wait for the next level- Public Speaking and Contemporary Issues. will this clumsy plus nervous-to-death girl be a good public speaker? we'll see :)

done with the result, the new semester will be beginning in about 4 days from now. though i don't want to go back so badly, i also can't wait to start everything all over again.

i wanna do my very best. this time will be the VERY VERY BEST. that's a PROMISE. a promise to God, to the beloved parents and to myself.

though this coming semester will be the busiest one ever- loads of BIG events waiting, but insyaAllah i'll face them properly. wish the love ones will always be by my side, supporting me. you guys know who and how important you are to me.

fly high. be extremely great!

and reach the happily-ever-after ending! :)

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;

.

.

LIMERICKS

-short

-sometimes bawdy and humorous

-consists of 5 Anapaestic lines

-line 1,2,5 have 7-10 syllables and rhyme with each other

-line 3,4 have 7 syllables and rhyme with each other

.

eg: "I Love You"

.

I'm not supposed to love you

I'm not supposed to think of you

I shouldn't care

Wishing you'll always be there

But I'm sorry cause I'm in love with you

.

.

HAIKU

-3 unrhymed lines of 5,7 and 5 syllables

-reflects on some aspects and creates images

.

eg:. "Women in Islam"

.

Women in Islam

Are like the thorny roses

Risky but precious

.

.

CINQUAIN

-has 5 lines

-line 1 is one word (the title)

-line 2 is two words that describe the title

-line 3 is three words that tell the action

-line 4 is four words that express the feeling

-line 5 is one word that recalls the title

.

eg: "Didie"

.

Didie

My adorable buddy

Talking so calmly

Always amazes me

Diddie

.

.

TANKA

-has 5 lines

-first and third lines composed of 5 syllables

-the rest composed of 7 syllables

.

eg: "My Sweetheart"

.

I love you so much

I need you near by my side

Be close to my heart

Only death does us apart

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~
