after 4 long months, i finally got a chance to write with a calm mind. hhahaha..
yeah, my third semester was very2 tough. i can't believe that i had survived the catastrophes.
it's true that i've learnt a lot. besides the knowledge of pragmatics, cross-cultural interaction and prof. comm, i'd also gained knowledge on using mcromedia director, dreamweaver, photoshop, and swishmax. i've never expected that i will learn to create my own website using dreamweaver. the last time i heard the word dreamweaver was during asasi and i had no idea what that thing is. huhu..
my emotions had run very wild and so did others'.... upon reading fatin 'izzati's blog recently, i was surprised to see how this third semester had also affected her. i believe that u know that unlike me, fatin is very good at managing time. her works were always done much earlier than the submission date whilst i usually would only start doing my assignmnt during the early hours of the submission date. pkul 8.30 pagi nk antar, pkul 2-3 pagi bru bngun bwat. gile btul! ooooh, i've tried to change this bad attitude but failed. the work stress was the only force that make my brain moves. i was usually too tired by things that always come around me.
however, nearing the final exam and DURING the exam, the work tense transformed into a very huge workload when it also involved producing own website with three photoshop artworks, three swishmax banners, resume, and other many many things..(you will not be able to guess how many hours that i've spent on the comp. doing this tiring work). adoi!
thank god i have a very2 collaborative, supportive, productive, and creative group for mip! if not, i would possibly die. thank u so much ninie, hasinah, tun, and kak ita. i'm looking forward towards producing a complete multimedia instructional package (mip) with you guys. (hoho, just be positive alia).
having no study week made things worst and.. finally, i only managed to gather 2-3 hours to study the book before every examination except for the last paper. i repeat, every! it's a miracle if i can get B for all the subjects, don't mention about getting an A.
i'd also met with a terrible car accident on the 1st of october (i'd rather not tell the whole story) but dont worry, i, with the other two passenger -hasinah n kak ita- were not injured. though the wira car that hit us was terribly damaged-it had to be towed. it was a nightmare and still is.
believe it or not, the cats in kenanga (the block where most of my classes are located) play significant roles in giving me a terrible semester.
like fatin, i would also like to declare that this semester was the most depressing, tiring, and frustrating semester. the only think i can do is, i will try my best to make my fourth semester a brighter one.
two
will be travelling to parit buntar tomorrow. i'm very excited because this will be the second time i travel in a train (the first was when i was six). i miss my grandparents soo much and my family wouldn't be able to come back during raye haji since Atiya will be sitting for her spm. also desperately need to get away from shah alam for a while.
three
for graduating my third semester, i bought myself a new laptop. (xboleh blah, i know. haha..) i finished my last exam on friday and bought the new comp on saturday. yeay for me! it's an asus that has a cool touch pad. 25% cooler than body temperature, it says.
four
insyaallah i will be attending a camp on 23-25 of Nov. in PD together with fatin, tun, ida n other apb students (apb is my faculty's name). it's a leadership camp and the camp will surely reminds me of BTN n u guys-the asasians :)
also, when i checked my mail just now, i read an email that is burdening my mind..

alaaaaa......why? oh whhhyyy??? i will definitely have the outgroup feeling. i'm not smart like THEM! what will the smart kids and i be discussing? die die die. ~yeah, i'm not a positive girl i used to be anymore.
p/s: i went to watch 2012 with all my siblings (they ponteng! haha). my rate: 4/5! a must-watch-movie :)
p/ss: ATIYA, all the best for your SPM. You have worked hard already dear, just give your best shot girl!
hello everyone! i've just reached ptar 1 with the intention to do some dr o's work but knowing me, u know that i would not be able to do much. huhu~~
why? 1. i'm not good at dreamweaver, swishmax, photoshop 2. because i don't like doing these 3. i'm alone (my sis n her friend is studying in the other section of the lib.), so the tendency to merapu is very high
i'll try my best though.. alia, jngn malas!!
anyway, these are the blooming flowers that i planted myself :) i forgot to tell u that gardening is my new passion..hehe my house is now surrounded with all kinds of trees these plants is the new medicine 4 my worries i love all of u!! haha..
i have been thinking of many things since this afternoon n these three thoughts are very very disturbing...
1. life is short. very short 2. i have to do many more things before i died 3. losing someone is terrifying and i don't want to lose anyone
however to determine life and death is far beyond my power.
so what can i do? what can i do to protect people's life? i can barely do anything to save my decent life if H1N1 attacks me except for swallowing medicine. how pathetic.
feeling helpless is a feeling that i hate the most.
recently my parents booked 4 places 4 umrah trip and i am not included in the list. reason given by them: i hv to take care of nwfal n ayman i had been there already. my reaction: what!!!!!! xkire alia nk ikot jgak!! alia blanjala diorg 2 org p'gi sane. xnak kene tinggal!! wuuu.. the response: awk nk blanje ngn ape? (gadoh2 lagi.......)
i was frustrated giler bcos the feeling of being left is certainly not good. i mean the feeling is very bad. (secretly praying that they would cancel the trip if they really wnt 2 exclude me. )
To begin with, i can sense the future procrastination and self pampering that i will soon be doing throughout the whole semester. AND THIS IS NOT GOOD! n much too dangerous for my CGPA.
~~~oh, please believe me that living in own house is the biggest dugaan ever!
Starting from now, i will make it a point to do the given assignment FIRST before heading home. (as mama has suggested)
p/s: berasa ketakutan hanya setelah mendengar penerangan dr othman tentang subjek WEB-ENABLED MULTIMEDIA E-LANGUAGE PRODUCTION
We finally got a class at kenanga..all the classes there used 2 be the students' dorms. it's fortunate that this old building had been painted new. if not..haish
The best thing about uitm is its libraries. i'm not sure yet how many libraries r there in the campus but all i can say is: there are practically books on everything that u can ever think of. i guess that is one of the benefits learning in a university which offers endless list of courses. many courses=maaany people+maaaaaaaany books! =) heaven!
Talking about Shah Alam main campus, today is my first day driving on my own to class. The experience was quite scary as i'm not an expert..huhu.. there were soo many cars and i'm sure the number will never decreased.. so i've to just live with it (unless i want 2 take the bus which would be very inconvenient as the 15 mnutes journey might end up to 2 hours or more)
There are so many things that i want to explore and i just cant wait to jump into the olympic size swimming pool..hehe.. (planning 2 go with tun as soon as she brings her swimmng suit frm PD ;))
I am currently trying my best to adapt myself to this new hectic environment and is really hoping that things will get much better 4 all of us :)
from left: joel, hazman, azahana, meera, khadijah, maryam, farah, me, and fareha dining together b4 going back to school~ good luck guys! all the best 2 all of u :)
why? because a new semester is about to begin..yeay!! (haha.. i'm practising positive thinking ok) in fact, i'll officially be a third semester student in the next 3 days. wow!!
a new semester means - i'm nearer 2 the graduation..lol - i can meet my friends again :) - i'll stop myself from wasting more time (alaaaaaa...) - new exciting subjects to be explored =D - new learning environment to be experienced..wuhhuw
a new semester also marks - the end of this lovely vacation - new challenges and problems to be faced
in all, i'll do my best for this new coming semester :) ....work harder, be stronger (it's a must!), avoid last minute work!!! (or should i just play more in class?? hmm...*grin*) LETS ACHIEVE SUCCESS TOGETHER!!

1. the confusion of what to tell first 2. a very long post. haha..
hmm... to put them all in a sentence
The past 2 weeks were a blast!
6 june 2008 Happy b'day to me! haha.. (no cake this year) as u can see, they r taller than me (any good supplements to suggest? ..huhu)
First thing first, thank you so much for these nice people who had wished me Happy Birthday. U know who u are..n i really. i mean REALLY appreciate the fact that some of you do remember my birth date. With all my heart, thanks!
This is the last year that i can include the number 1 in my age as in '19' ..after this..i have to say i'm 20 when people ask. hoho.. when i was little, i always think people who r in their twenties are very matured and all.. OK! lets not think about it now.
we even had a breakfast with dr mazli on my b'day (it's another long story).
i hope..really hope that i can be as happy as i am forever and ever. which is sadly..impossible. therefore, i will definitely treasure every moment in my life =)
8 june 2009
alhamdulillah (the last award by SD, in regards to my asasi result)
9-11 june 2009 Family days! (this is only the small part of the large family)
yes. considering that Tok Timah has 9 children and 5 step children who are all married and have their own children, this family days had managed to gather 4 children and a stepdaughter..which is only a small part i should say.
however, we had succeeded in giving a good headache to the house caretaker, thanks to me and my cousins! ;)

I must admit that i felt a little awkward looking at the gate of a school that doesn't belong to me anymore.. but this feelings faded easily upon looking at my schoolmates. izuana, fareha, maryam, irfan n syanidzam. p/s: the others came late..haha..we had to go out and usher them in. and us..even though we are now students from various universities studying different courses. we will always have a similarity.
we share the same school experience :)
yeah, once again i felt that i'm still a part of this school thanks to the warm welcome from the teachers. hehe
the teachers' day assembly was held at the new tapak perhimpunan, located at the new block and the place was quite crowded.
a special performance by5 talented teachers *can u recognise ur teachers from their backs?..hehe* p/s: syanidz's brother performed too, he played guitar
sitting from left is en zainal and miss chandrika *as usual, he sang a song that day :)*
we met a lot of teachers, of course i'm glad to see that many of my lovely teachers are still teaching here. now i'm sure that my sister is in good hands.
it is amazing that most of the teachers that i met don't look a day older than before especially pn rafidah and pn hanizah.hmm how did they do that?
one of the interesting remarks was made by pn hanezah "eh, macam mati hidup balik jumpe kamu semua ni. ingat dah lupe kat kte dah." (therefore, to all my friends: go and visit ur teachers, i'm sure that some of them must be missing u..hehe)
haish, i'll never ever forget my teachers. insyaallah, will do my best to make them proud.
after having a good chat with all teachers *feeling very happy* we went for a drink.
location: Ali's corner, section 20 not in the pictures: alia. why? because i'm the cameragirl =)
*3 mischievous boy are secretly planning something*
*izuana n meera, dctrs wannabe*
i'm glad that i came..i'm glad that i asked them to come too! hehe.. __________________________________________________________________________
a little something for u 2:
i'd accidentally came across a book with ur names at the backcover.. and i have to say that you 2 should buy this book. it's not everyday that both of u become heroes right? in the same story plak tuh.
Last year, on this exact date i was still struggling damn hard learning how to drive a manual kancil car. I was too tensed at that time and there were so many reasons that led to a serious hatred towards the driving instructor haha.. It's really kind of funny to think about my driving experience now. In one of the YM conversations with hud, he had even suggested a plan to sabotage the kancil car bypatahkan tongkol gear tu ke or langgar kreta kat dpn utk bgi instructor tu plak tension.haha *thank God i didn't execute any of the plans. * now i realise that my instructor ridiculously harsh method of teaching is vital so that i would be extra careful on the road. Thank u uncle tee :), my driving teacher. Happy teacher's day!
keadaan sbnr di Seri Muda learning center..uncle tee sdg mngambil angin di luar. *mungkin dia juga sdg tertekan*
Reminiscing on my childhood time learning in taski abim, i still remember 1 of my young teachers cikgu ina. She was very nice and kind and i know that she loves me as i can still feel her love up until now. She gave me a big pencil box as a present for getting the 1st place in class. And 1 fine sunny day, she even had took me for jalan2 naik komuter!! (the commuter service had just been introduced at that time) n treat me for kfc. Ya allah, i was very excited and happy to be by her side! If only she knew that i miss her so much.. Happy teacher's day Cikgu Ina:)
I can not describe my feelings on the first day that i entered into 5 Intelek (the second class in sks20). I was in a very confused state . The people that i know (my PTS friends) were not that many and they seemed lost too in the sea of unknown new classmates.
SUDDENLY came in a woman with a loud voice and garang face. "kamu semua kemas beg sekarang jugak pindah ke kelas sebelah!" "huh?? ape yg telah berlaku ni? ade rompakan ke?" that might be what i may be thinking at that time.
The result of that incident was, all students from 5 intelek were placed in 5 Cemerlang (the first class in sks20) and all students who were supposed to be learning in the first class were placed in the second class. That is Pn saadiah, she would do anything as she pleases and please do not go against her words if you want to be alive. haha.. At last i found out that the reason she switched us was she wanted to give more attention to 5 intelek students as all budak lompat were placed in that class. However, the school had assigned her to teach maths n bm to the students in the first class and only maths subject to the second class. Therefore she did the drastic action. woo owh!
In her class, i had been given denda for so many times among the denda:
+ kne pindah gi klas yang pling last sbb xsiapkan hmwork (ingatkan pindah gi klas tu slame-lamenye.. dah nangis cm org giler dh, nasib baik utk 1 hari saje) + pindah lagi utk kali ke2 sbb xsiap hmwork jgk tpi utk 2 jam je. pastu cikgu dtg peluk and bwk gi klas btul balik :') + kne rotan together with the entire class sbb bising (sakit giler!! pecah berderai jdi pendek pembaris panjang tu apb smua org tlah dirotan) + pastu kne rotan lagi ramai2 sbb bising kat bilik KH. wawawa..
pn saadiah jaafar ialah orang yang bertanggungjawab dalam membentuk saya menjadi insan yang berusaha keras di dalam hidup.
she had also shown me the right direction in life and most important, she remains to be one of the teachers that i admire a lot even though years have passed by. Selamat Hari Guru Cikgu Saadiah.
Gambar hiasan :)
things became much harder when i entered menengah tinggi. it was quite difficult for me to learn something that i couldn't figure out the purpose.
therefore i often asked questions like these to my teachers:
cikgu, knape kne blaja pengamiran? kte guna ni utk ape? (addmath) cikgu, mol dgn molekul ape beza dia? (kimia)
because life was difficult for me, i try my best to make others life difficult too! (xdela, gurau je)
therefore i would like to give my highest gratitude to the wonderful people who have saved me from drowning.
Pn. Naaimah-cikgu bio form 5 yg dirindui. sngt penyayang, dedikasi serta sentiasa mnasihati. Cikgu Jai-my young indian tuition teacher who loves to laugh at my questions. A very hardworking and determined teacher. Pn. Kamisah-my class teacher. a wonderful ustazah who would always sooth my heart dgn cahaya keimanan in pendidikan islam class. Pn. Maimunah-the addmath teacher who always showed a calm and relax expression when teaching difficult addmath equation and solution. she did give the idea that addmath is easy..but when i went back and tried the exercises given, adoiiii. stngh jam 1 soalan. En. Kamali-the straightforward physics teacher. eventhough he didn't chatter much in class, i know that he's very concern about us. Cikgu Samy-my physics tuition teacher who often blamed me for delaying his teaching schedule. i only asked many questions, nothing else..hihi.. his step-by-step explanation sometimes made simple things seemed complicated. however, i had understood many things with his help as i could ask maaaaany questions to him. also to my classmates who had done a huge favor for me by being tutors without salary:- thanks a lot guys! seriously, u'r all great teachers :) nurul ashikin amran yap hoong yun ameera ashyila kamaruzzaman prakas palanichamy ___________________________________________________________________________________ there are so many super people that i really want to thank to but then this post would be 10 pages long altogether. Therefore to abah and mama my kindergarten teachers my school teachers my uitm melaka tesl lecturers my uitm shah alam epc lecturers my asasi friends, u know who u r :) my present classmates andall the people who had taught me and shaped me to be the person i'm right now, only Allah can repay your kindness.
From the bottom of my heart i would like to say thank you soo much andhappyteachers'day! i love you!!
