The greatest award that i've ever received..

p/s:this post has been saved as a draft for over a month now..haha

The greatest award that i've ever received in my entire life is... my family!

This is the truth.

More than anything in the world, I love them most.

Because of them, I believe I can achieve almost everything in the world.

Abah and opah believe that I'm better than anyone else in the world

...although i'm obviously not.

Mama and tok believe that I can do all kind of tasks

..although i'm clueless most of the time

To be honest..I know that of my carelessness or lazyness, i've failed to meet their

expectations quite sometimes..

But because of their positive vision, high hope, i have always always pushed myself and worked hard. Even at kindergarten I worked hard taw..haha..

Until one day, Abah's & Mama's doa has been granted.

I'm just a language student and receiving the award is like a dream. Alhamdulillah. Thank you Allah for everything that you have awarded me with. I'm begging you, please3 dont take anything back from me.

Anugerah Cemerlang Tan Sri Arshad Ayub

will always be the prove that I have the greatest support system in the world consisting of: family, friends, lecturers, school teachers, juniors, seniors, relatives, internship supervisor & colleague and all the people around

If I were to list all the members in My Support System (MSS), the list would be 10 pages long. Thus, I really really hope that you know who you are :)

Opah, Tok and Mama..before entering the main hall

in the changing room with rafeeza (Law) and zuhairi (OM)

while waiting for our turn, i was tortured by the wall which emits freezing cold air

(the wall is actually air-cond in disguise. xtipu.)

my view from the third last row

Receiving the award from the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan, we were the last group to be on the stage that day. Tuanku looked very tired but he managed to give me a smile. 'Tahniah', he said. tu je yg best kot...haha

IT'S MARCH ALREADY!

I'm blogging from the office since I have no work to do yet :D


Yes my friend, it's march already.



So far my internship has progressed quite well and I had learnt so many things. Have I mentioned that the food here are very nice and cheap.. hehe.. that' what I like most about this place. The food.
(Sorry no picture, I just noticed that my Sony USB cable is broken..i mean 'putus'. Lucky that I can borrow the cable from my brother later.)

Being a student, there is always a never ending list of things that I'm worried about. How about sharing some with you? haha

Worry number 1: My research evaluation tool (need to be corrected and distributed to several language experts)

Worry number 2: The research progress as a whole is veeeerry slow. For goodness sake its March already dear Alia!

Worry number 3: The Long Report for practical training-which I haven't started yet.

Worry number 4: My 'Penyelia' is Dr. P! :( And I'm not quite sure what should I do during her visit later. Do I need to show my log book and all the works that I have done here??

Worry number 5: Too much interesting movies and series in my computer. Should I just delete these distractions?

Worry number 6: The crazy cat at my rental house. Why should I worry about the adorable harmless creature? Because it loves to chase me! I'm going crazy as well. Silly me for being scared of cats, but I can't control myself you know.

Worry number 7: Why do I have so much too worry about? This is worrying me as well.

Hahaha.. I think I should stop worrying and start working on those things I'm worried about.

Live a carefree life, no more!

That's my update for now. Take care friends, and work hard :)

It was indeed a surprise. Alhamdulillah.

First and foremost, thank u Allah. thank u mama and thank u abah. I LOVE U!

"Yesterday evening i was in a bad mood."

to make it short, The presentation...was not one of my bests. quite disappointing actually.

"Never did i expect something 'big' will happen to me that night."

"Never had i received so many things in just a few hours."

Thank u Allah, for giving many friends that i can rely on. Thank u Allah, for giving me the opportunity to learn from these kindhearted lecturers. Thank u Allah.

"Ya Allah, please give me and my friends strength to achieve our dreams."

"and ya Allah, please2..let happiness be with me always..don't retract any of ur gifts ya Allah"

because i don't think i can be where i am, neither can i survive without them.. the people that i love.

Thank u Allah.



*while writing this, i'm thinking of many many people that i know and love..from asasi, my parents & siblings, my lecturers, my clasmates/bestfriends, my juniors, and my big family.*

i used to love blogging

It's funny reading my older posts. Especially posts that had been written when i was in asasi. I used to love blogging, summarising my not-very-interesting life and posting pictures. But now, somehow, the passion has disappeared. Hmm, maybe I should cultivate the passion again now. Now, i am extremely busy with Bahasa & Budaya 1 Malaysia Project. Being the "Biro Tajaan & Publisiti", i really really need to work hard for the benefit of the school students. No sponsor means, no present, no cenderahati and no goodies!

To all my future juniors, taking LG220: Bachelor of Applied Lang. Studies (Hons.) English for Professional Communication or LG221 : Bachelor of Applied Lang. Studies (Hons.) Malay Language for Professional Communication , WELCOME TO APB! I'm your 'Biro Akademik' in APB's Sekretariat Mahasiswa Fakulti (SMF). If you need to know more about these courses and its challenges, feel free to contact me :)
my email:littlemushroom_90@yahoo.com
u can also find me in facebook

p/s: ex-Asasi TESLians 2007-2008, i miss u ALL!

p/ss: to all my schoolfriends (smks19), i'm looking forward to meet u all soon! (at Kedai Anggerik ke..haha..)

one, two, three, and four!

one

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..

4 us in uitm, there r only 2 more papers coming.
and we would be set free..hooray!!

pray the best 4 me bcos, i always pray for u in my daily prayers.

currently missing the MELAKA teslians A LOT!

trying my best is just not enough

i need passion!

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 dedicated this red rose 2 all my friends :)

The fourth day of class

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 :)

dining together b4 going back to school~
good luck guys! all the best 2 all of u :)

counting days..

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!!

more pictures that i just found in my laptop files~

nice bending tree that we met on the journey to terengganu

it's good to have the 'i-am-tall' feeling..haha

i'm still trying to figure out what the boys were doing..lol

this is the sweetest lychee that i'd ever tasted

my last words: transformers is soo cool!
(haha.. tiade kaitan)

finally

there are actually three main reasons of putting 'finally' as the title for this particular post.

1) finally, we will be moving from puncak perdana (the one of the most 'ulu'est area in shah alam, perfect place for studying purposes) to the Shah Alam Main Campus.

I must say that i've mixed feelings upon hearing this news. Mind you, this is a BIG news!
we are MOVING!

Staying in puncak for 2 semesters has taught me many things.

• i've learned the skills of long distance driving by travelling to and fro puncak and now i'm a confident young driver (i don't dare call my self a good driver yet based on my brothers and sister destructive comments..haha..)
• i've learned that doing last minute assignments are better than doing them early without giving enough focus (do not follow this act).
  
• information system is an interesting area to study in (most of my housemates are students of this faculty)
• nothing is free except for friendship. you can be friend with all the people you met and none of them will charge you for being your friends. seriously i love you guys. in fact, my housemates are one of the reasons that make me feel sad to move.

a special dedication to my companions during the two semesters in puncak
toa special dedication to:

kak farahiyah: i love u, i love u, i love u. thank u for being such a wonderful friend, tolerant roommate, and understanding sister. u're unique in your own way and i'm going to miss u a lot. u must update me on ur relationship development with dear CJ7 :)

kak farahana: i think u're the 'supergirl' of the house. u've motivated me a lot by being strong despite of having to face many many difficulties. kak farah, stay strong. i love u!

kak zahirah: hehe.. i insist to call u kakak here, u'r my kakak! :) thanks for everything, the activity coupons, the energy used to wake me up to continue doing my assignments, and the love and concern that u have given to us. i love u!

hanisah: the girl of few words. take care of your health and plug in the mosquito liquid thing to chase the aedes mosquitos away :). i love u!

ainol: always the most problematic person in the house. haha.. just kidding :) no, you are a gifted person that can make people laugh until their stomachs burst just by telling a story. don't be stressed over small matters k. i love u!


i'll be missing you guys a lot.
i'm so sorry if i've done anything wrong to any of you.

leaving puncak perdana is a sad thing
...but it couldn't be avoided as we do not belong here. as you've been informed, our faculty is actually located in the main campus.
for the sake of learning convenience and accessibility to more books and references, we have to pay a very high price. being distanced from u guys, the wonderful friends that i love.
wuu =(

2) finally, i will sit for my last exam paper (language and society) this monday. this will be the end of my second semester. hurray!!! holiday is heavenly great :)

and

3) finally, I WILL BE LIVING IN MY OWN HOUSE
together with all my family members of course as my housemates..haha


yes, since before i entered Asasi TESL, this was the main reason of choosing uitm as my university .. i want to stay here in shah alam to be exact, in my house. and it seems to be that i have finally achieved that objective.

haha.. what to do.. i was very childish at that time.

dear readers, i really hope that you can feel the mixed feelings that i'm having. i've never expected that i'll feel sad upon leaving puncak. but then i feel extremely sad..

though in writing books we must end a chapter first before a new chapter can begin, i choose to be a disorganised writer in arranging the story of my life. i would not divide the episodes in my life as in chapters in books where i've to end a story before a new story can actually be written. but i will just store all the memories about the past and the present together. with lots of commas, but no fullstop.

(not in the picture: kak farahana)
