Adulting

 You know the phase between 17 and 18?  Where you have to choose which pathway you wanna go. Like will it be Science stream, art stream, matriculations, asasi, etc?  I thought that phase was not really hard as I already kinda now what I wanna do and where I wanna go. However, the phase of leaping between being an undergrad student and a working adult at the age of 23 is frightening for me!  Like one day, you woke up at 7 to go to a class at 8am, then suddenly you need to wake up at 6 to go to work at 8 because there'll be traffic jam on your way to work. Shisshh And during undergrad studies, your class may finish at 1pm or even 3pm but not everyday. Then suddenly now, your whole life evolves in your 8-5 working hours and you need to search for that extra time for your me-time session.  These transition phase is one of the phase that I am scared of for several reasons; 1. There's no one that I am close with in the negeri where I'm going to work. Literally none. O...

BEING INDEPENT - LEGIT

 Hey and Assalamualaikum, all Lama gila tak tulis here. Lolz (who's even reading.. 👀😂) Anyways, just wanna share some memories and stories with anyone and no one..  So, I am legit living by myself in Melaka. 22 year old girl living in Melaka without friends, without family 😢 Time my parents drop me off at Melaka, I was telling myself not to cry in front of them cause taknak diorang pun sedih and risau! Nailed it! But then, balik bilik , nangis sorang2 sambil kemas baju and it hit me again that I AM LEGIT ALONE! FOR THE FIRST TIME!  Macam before this time pergi sekolah asrama, at least I know it's a school. I'm safe in there with the teachers, wardens and new friends. Even time masuk university, my sister is in the same uni and it's a university. There's lots of new people there as well. But now, in Melaka. I am the only new person to this not so big negeri.  huhu, the first few days, of course nangis dowh.. Like it suddenly came to me that I'm working (intern...

WHAT ONE YEAR IN COVID TAUGHT ME

 Hey, guys. Lama tak tulis kan 😅 So, after one year of going through Covid. What is your conclusion? What have you learnt? What have Covid make you into? For me, and I guess for you too, it must have made you stronger in some ways. But for me personally, it made me love my family more. It taught me that wherever I am, my family is my 'home', my 'safe heaven' and my joy. When Covid was bad in March until July, I could not go back to my hometown, and I cried a lot! I cried cause I miss my house, I miss my parents, my family, I can't really study, everything seems dull and boring to me. I kept getting mad at my surrounding especially the politicians and how my university handle this pandemic throughout the times I was there, in the university. What made me go through it is my flatmates, 7 of us are all in this together. Everyone could not go back, so we rely on one another.  It felt really overwhelming when you can't go anywhere, your parents are in another state ...

사랑한다구 (I love you)

 Hi. I feel like writing tonight.  Do you ever feel like Malay words are really sincere when you use it properly? For example, everyone can say "I love you", but when someone said, "saya Sayang awak". Doesn't it bring an extra warmth and security to it. Like the person really mean it from their heart. That's the meaning of today's topic, ì‚¬ëž‘한다구 (I love you) in Hangul/Korean. I watched a kdrama and just finished it today. Hence, I want to write what I learned from this story. You know that when you've been married for too long, sometimes you feel like you hate your partner for the little things he/she did. It annoys the hell out of you. Well, I learned that it's okay to take a time off from each other. It's okay to hate each other for the things s/he forgets. It's okay to feel disappointed towards your partner. But at the end of the day, remember that your partner is the one who's always been there for you from the beginning of your mar...

Saying sorry

Hi. It's been a long time since I wrote something here 😅 I just can't find any interesting news to share to you all But tonight I have one..  You know when people make you feel mad, you want an apology as soon as possible And when that particular person does not give any apology, you started saying that s/he doesn't even have any common sense at all.. Hurm.. To this I disagree..  You know, this world doesn't evolve around you! That's a fact! Either you like it or not. You're not the center of it.. You're not the center of anyone's world except yours.. So, when people suddenly make you feel mad and did not say sorry.  There's a lot of reasons to it: 1. S/He does not even know that they're doing something wrong For instance, I said something that scarred your ego. But to me, that is a fact about you.  I'm not telling a lie or saying something out of the blue.. That's your trait.. That's who you are.. So, in my mind, I don't find it...

WORKING AT A FOOD COURT (POV)

 Hi and Assalamuaikum, guys.  So, just wanna share my stories and also my experience working as a food court worker for 2 months during my semester break..  As you all may or may not know, I am an undergrad student in University of Malaya (not bragging or anything kay).. Am entering my third year next semester with (Alhamdulillah) dean list award since semester 1 until semester 4 (May it be until semester 8, aamiin!) So, I was, am and will still be wondering why some people have this kind of mentality; Always bragging bout your lifestyle to other people Always look down to other people who you think are below you Always comparing your achievements with others Like okay, there's nothing wrong if you wanna compare between me and you, but for god sake, why?  What satisfaction does it bring to you to know that you are above anyone? So, here's a story..  One day while I was working with my coworker in the kiosk (we're selling roti john), There's one aunty who stand l...

Studying in Mechanical Engineering, University of Malaya

Image
Assalamualaikum and hi, guys! 👋 So, today aq rasa cam nak tulis bout pengalaman aq study kt UM under course MEng (Mechanical Engineering.. Cause sekarang kan covid.. Mana tau memang tak akan balik UM dah kan 😔😔 So, aq nak tulis sebagai kenangan and cerita untuk korang yang nak apply masuk course ni in UM. *This is just my personal experience okayy. Setiap orang ada experience masing2.* 😊 Okay.. So, one thing before we start.. Aq nak tanya korg kenapa korg nak apply Mechy? Untuk aq la.. Even dah nak masuk third year ni, aq akan still jawab: 1. sebab aq suka machine 2. sebab aq tak nak medic, and aq tak tau nak apply apa 3. sebab ... mechy cam nampak cool gitu main machine (😂) 4. sebab memang tak tau.. Mechy nampak macam wide job scope Okay, ni answers yang aq selalu bagitau orang time first2 aq nak apply Mechy dulu..  Fyi, mechy bukan first choice aq time isi UPU.. Its actually actuary, tapi I can't thank God enough sebab bagi aq masuk Mechy. Ofc He knows best and mmg patut dia...

MOM, DAD. I LOVE YOU!

Assalamualaikum and hai.. Happy 27th day of Ramadan. As every Ramadan, of course kita ada our own goals kan? This year,, mine was to accomplish what I had begun last year. Which is, Qiamulail as much as I could, especially during the last 10 days of Ramadan read Quran every day after Subuh and Maghrib Lessen my time with perkara-perkara yang tak patut, for example drama and songs Read tafsir Quran Terawih every night And to my surprise, Alhamdulillah this year I almost got to achieve my target compared to last year.  And this is my first time fasting for 30 days in my own house, after 5 years fasting in school/university.  So, it was a great experience and memories. So, in a way, I should thanks Covid-19 right? 😅😅 Every cloud has a silver lining right.. So, I guess this is it for me..  Okay,, back to the topic..  Since I've not been staying home during Ramadan for the past 5 years,  So, this means a lot to me.  To be here wit...

THOUGHTS ON E-LEARNING

Hi and Assalamulaikum :) So, as we all know, all the students are learning via online right now. So, of course there's gonna be some pros and cons, even for me as an undergrad student. And tbh, at the first thought of e-learning, I can't even see my future for this semester. Lolz! So, here's some pros and cons of e-learning.. (please bear with all my cons!) Cons: 1. Internet connection Eventhough the government had gave free 1GB internet per day (which we really appreciate!), but tbh, it isn't enough to watch a video lecture which is like 1 hour long for each subject per day. And we have like 2/3 lectures per day, so the internet connection is a big problem here.. Even for school students as well.. We need to take into account students who have siblings and do not have enough gadgets at home to be shared around. Some people have only 1/2 phones with internet connection at home, but they have like 4/5 siblings, so we need to understand this. Teachers shoul...

COVID-19

Assalamualaikum and hi, guys.. It has been 6 days of RMO (Restricted Movement Order) for Malaysia and yet the number of cases are still increasing, the number of death tolls keep on rising. This is a very sad news for Malaysia and the world as well.. To get to hear about the RMO and the usage of military to get the people to stay indoors is such a sad feeling. Like, why are we asking other people to sacrifice their lives while we are still ignorant as always? Our PM had stated, duduk dekat rumah. Stay indoors. And yet, there's a lot of people who still went out just because you're bored of staying indoors. Guys, this is not just about you! Don't be selfish!!nThis may not be war, but it is worse than that.. We're fighting with something that we can't even see and it is very dangerous! Looking at the viral videos of the frontliner, I felt really sad.. How much they've been sacrificing themselves for us, and yet there's still some people who took it li...

GROUPWORK

Hai, guys.. Aq tak tau la dengan korg kan, tapi aq paling rimas dengan certain people yang sumpah tak reti work as a group.. Therefore, here's a list of things yg aq rasa kita boleh ubah (I'm not perfect, so this is for me as well!) 1. Jangan acah macam banyak kerja sangat Guys, groupwork/assignment dalam group ni is not a one man thing.. If it is that easy, buat apa lecturer nak bagi buat group, if benda tu senang sangat and boleh buat by one people.. Everyone ada kerja lain gak, ada assignment lain juga, and ada certain people yang kerja part time.. But they took time untuk datang discussion, compared to some people yang tak reti untuk manage their time.. Pastu time discussion la dia busy gila tahap menteri. Halaah!! Cmon geng. Kita dah besar, dah masuk U, dah nak kahwin dah.. Takkan nanti bab kerja rumah pun susah nak tolong sbb alasan busy kerja.. Mati la wife kau balik kerja, pastu nak buat kerja kt rumah lagi.. We learn from now! Prioritise and manage your tim...

SPEAK OUT

Assalamualaikum and Hi, guys.. So, I had just finished one of my projects in the college. It's a project where we collaborate with an NGO and also another university in Johor. It was really fun tbh.. During the event day,, but the process towards it. Ma Shaa Allah.. How I dread it soo much Although it teached me a lot of lessons along the way, but tbh, I wouldn't want to repeat it again for anything! So, we collaborate with an NGO which is an expert in humanitarian and volunteering, our main idea is to learn how to handle big events with the crowd, but little did we know, we actually learn more by our own team compared from the NGO and also the other university.. So, what I learned is : 1. DON'T MAKE LIFE HARD ON OTHER PEOPLE So, basically we of course need to go on a site visit beforehand.. So, we went.. My team from UM and the other team is from Johor.. But the thing is, the NGO didn't even came.. Like cmon guys, people from Johor sacrifice their tim...

ITS TIME TO PONDER ABOUT THE FUTURE

Hey. We're in our 20s already. Lolz.. 😂 How time really pass by and suddenly you're living on your own, driving yourself around by your own, get to buy all the things you wanted with your own money, thinking about the free time to plan to get the ticket back to your hometown. And yeah, you're also on the verge of people asking, "dah berpunya ke?" 😅😅 Well, to some people, it may be bothersome. Like why do your aunt/uncle need to ask those questions, well because they care for you. So, just answer.. If you already have someone, just say YES. If not, then NO. Why bother getting irritated and angry for 🙅🙅 They're just asking out of curiosity kann.. Even now, my parents had been asking if I'm meeting someone right now.. And tbh, I've moved on from all the crushes/day dreaming 😂😂 I've watched a story before, and it quite teached me something unexpectedly. It teaches me that, coupling now during your study years may be fun, but are yo...

BUSY? IS IT ALL WORTH IT?

Hey.. So, someone told me that I am too busy as a student. I joined way too many projects until sometimes I have no time to study and etc. How about my assignments and tutorials? My lab reports? My ME time? Well, geng. Here's the thing that you might want to ponder.. I am busy... but I chose this life I chose this 'busy' life cause I like it. I like to be able to help a community/people in any way possible I get excited to meet people of different background and socialize. Some people complained about their workload and so on. Yes, we are all busy! You and I, we both chose this 'busy' life (as you stated), But the different is, I took some time to think about my priorities and limit before I said yes.. Compared to some people who took all the chances given and in the end s/he collapsed and said that this is all soo tiring.. For me, student life is when you give your all out!! Learn a lot through joining projects/camps/talks and soo on Socialize, ...

GRATEFUL

Hey.. Pernah tak you dapat something unexpectedly? Like kau tak study teruk2 pun.. Tapi kau dapat A, dapat Dean's List. Kau tak pernah aim pun untuk dapat something. Tapi tiba2 kau dpt.. Pernah tak? I came across one tweet ni, Dia kata.. Selama ni dia ingat dia bijak gilaa Study biasa2, tup tup dpt Dean's List.. Rupanya baru dia sedar, tula power of a mother's Doa And memang kita tak expect pun, tpi sbb you mom doakan for you, so Allah bagi Aq takut tau nak apply JPA dlu.. Sebab aq rasa aq x sepandai itu utk dpt JPA.. Tapi, know what? Aq dpt.. Not scholarship, tapi still pinjaman pun dah Alhamdulillah 😇😇 Tbh, aq pun x igt aq ada apply JPA cause mmg aq igt aq tkt nk apply sbb aq rasa aq x pandai..

Sape je tak Tapi sometimes aq x expect result aq se'good' itu Tula one of the kebaika...

LIVING WITH A DOWN SYNDROME

Hey.. So, as you may or may not know, I have an uncle who's down syndrome He's not a kid okay, he's nearly 50 (49 to be exact) And yet, he can't do anything on his own! He can't wash his own clothes in the washing machine cause he don't know which button to push He can't wash his own dishes without spilling water and food all over the sink and floor He can't pour his own drink without spilling and won't clean it back up He can't drive, can't walk alone And trillion other things that he can't do because of his disabilities So, here I am enjoying my not even one month holiday with him staying with us Well, tbh if he's normal. I won't really care soo much cause he can eat/wash dishes by himself But because he can't, so my holidays actually consist of me babysitting him 😒 It's different when you babysit a kid/toddler, cause you know they'll listen to you Even if there's tantrum/screaming, you know an ic...

Emo

Hey As a girl, I don't think that having your period is a golden ticket to be extra mad/emo to other people. But damn girl, I feel it now 😭😭 I becamepun extra emo, extra moody.. Its not something that I planned to do  But if things aren't going my way.. If people keep on being late and not on time If people keep on not doing their work and not taking it responsibly I became extra emotional this past few days! Yes! I agree that this is all hormonal stuffs And you should not be too emo cause everyone have feelings too Not just you But geng, this is call common sense You made a date/appointment with a person, make sure you're 100% free at that time If you aren't, at least tell them a day before so that s/he can have another plan.. Change the timing or change your schedule. Its not that hard! Do your job as you should You get all the fame, all the title But in the end, your contribution is only 30%. Where's the other 70%.. Its made by other pe...

IS IT A CRIME TO BE NICE?

Image
Hi. So, yesterday me and my friends lepak kt Nasi Lemak Anjing till like 2am... One of our stories were about love and crushes.. So then, we begin talking bout trust issues and some people are just too nice in this life and we can't really be too nice with people cause this world is harsh.. Although I know that thats the truth, but I asked them a question, " If we know that this world is evil and harsh, then why can't we be the nice one?" Like... Kenapa kita x start dlu? Kenapa we have to be like other people? Why kita nk sama dgn diorg?? Allah said, " be nice to other people even when they're not nice to you!" Thats how Islam teaches us to be! Right now, I am a secretary for one one of UM's project.. So, what I learned from this things is that.. We know our limit! And basically everyone should know that all people have their patience limit. You should know until when can you push him/her until she bursts.. And also, before you think...

LONER?

Hey... So, just feel like wanna write something down. You know when someone is alone and you think that s/he is a loner Well guys. Think again Sometimes some people (including me) need some me time or some time alone We just would like to have some time for us to think, or to sit around and enjoy the nature alone It doesn't have to be a frequent thing to do.. Like for me, I need some me time especially when I am deeply stressed out/had just finished a tiring week/day It just some time to make me recharged my battery and enjoy my life again We may seem like we do not have much friends at that moment But we do We are the ones who choose to be alone at that time to feel our presence. To appreciate ourselves cause who else will appreciate us? Am i right? There's no such things as being called as a loner when you're walking/eating alone Its just your thoughts/feelings No one really cares if you eat alone Its just your insecurities Thats all. Seriously! I...
