Giving up

Sometimes I really feel like giving up :(

But then..

Dua

I know everyone have had enough updates on current situation in Egypt

Yes, the chaos

I am worried, very worried

I know everyone do especially when we think of our friends and relatives there

Let us pray for them, Allah knows the best

Kenduri kahwin di Archie Griffin

Alhamdulillah akhirnya berlangsung juga majlis kami

Minta maaflah tak dapat nak jemput ramai orang, kecil kecilan je

Tapi nasi minyak adalah, dah kata majlis Melayu

Terima kasih kepada kugiran yang memeriahkan suasana

Tapi itulah, muda lagi, bajet tak cukup, mak andam pun tak dapat nak gaji

Doakan semoga jodoh kami berpanjangan yee xD

Sorry merepek, anyway ini adalah 'Taste of OSU 2011'
Kami student Malaysia jual nasi minyak, ayam percik, kuih lapis, seri muka
Sedapppp seriously hehe
Nak buat wedding kat Archie Griffin Ballroom ni boleh tak?
Macam best je :D

Out of sudden, bila tengok slide show keluar gambar klcc, tiba tiba rindu rumah. Hebat betul klcc yee. Padanlah famous satu dunia. =.=

Two books in One day

I was excited when I read e-mail that the book I requested is ready to be picked up
So, as I finished Electric Circuit class, I rushed to SEL (Science and Engineering Library) and picked it up. This is the book: Winter in Arabia.
It looks old right? Indeed it is. It was published on 1940.

When I reached home, another good thing happened
The book I have been waiting for few days is in my mailbox!
It is a used book. I bought it for $0.01 and $3.99 for shipping
Guess what, this is my first biography collection and I am so excited about it since people rated the book as excellent. That is the reason why I decided to buy it instead of borrowing from library
Introducing, Passionate Nomad : The Life of Freya Stark

Ohh actually I need to write a short research paper about Western explorer in my English class and I chose to write about Freya Stark, the writer of the first book as well as the woman on the cover of the second book

I have never heard of her before, but what captured my interest toward her was her location of exploration, Arabia - the land I have been longing to know more for its language and history
However it turns out that the more I read about her, the more I feel that I am just like her and started to sentimentalize everything

Two books in one day, they really made my day
Hopefully I am gonna write a good paper, amin :)

Post-spm

Sejak sejak ni aku ada terlihat status beberapa adik adik muda lepasan spm 2010
Ada yang bosan tinggal di rumah, yang kerja, yang busy belajar nak dapatkan lesen memandu, tak kurang juga yang pergi melepak dengan kawan tak habis-habis

So ni nak cerita sikit
Dulu lepas spm, as expected, aku memang takkan boleh bekerja di luar
Jadi kerjalah dekat office ibu tolong tolong buat kerja akaun
Sambil tu, aku pun belajar kereta, lepas dapat lesen jadi driver amik adik sekolah pulak
Ohh bosankan? but itu bukan point hari ini, pointnya ada di bawah

Satu lagi aktiviti aku waktu cuti panjang tu adalah pergi pameran IPT dan kareer
Boleh dikatakan hampir semua pameran yang keluar surat khabar aku pergi
Dari Education Fair The Star, IPTA, IPTS semua aku redah, sama ada dgn ayah atau the-only-and-easiest-friend yang ayah akan izinkan aku keluar, Aisyah hehe
Sebab aku pergi pameran tu mudah je, nak mencari ilmu
Waktu itu aku tak tahu nak ambil course apa
Tak tahu nak pergi universiti mana
Dunia ni jadi luas tiba tiba
Anehkan? tapi aku memang buntu waktu tu

Macam macam aku fikir time tu
Nak amik veterinary, dentistry, biotech, QS, architecture, accountancy
Dulu siap ada buat list panjang lagi, siap nombor telefon universiti nak tanya
Sebabnya waktu tu aku dapat banyak exposure tiba tiba, dari luar dan dalam
Yes, dari kecil jawapan aku sentiasa nak jadi engineer, tapi Mak Ngah, lecturer dekat upm, tiba tiba buat aku berminat dgn bio-based course even aku agak lemah Bio
Ayah pulak bawak pergi jumpa kawan kawan dia dari macam macam jenis bidang, mintak bagi cadangan dekat aku
Jadi masa free beberapa bulan tu aku gunakan sepenuhnya mencari, mana tau ada benda lain yang betul betul untuk aku

Dan akhirnya result keluar, aku bagitau Mak Ngah Bio dapat A2, terus dia kata,
"Buatlah engineering," kelakar bila ingat balik
Tapi tanpa kesabaran Mak Ngah ulang alik serdang subang ajar aku, silap silap aku boleh failed Bio hehe xD
Tapi memang waktu tu aku dah decide nak amik engineering pun, bukan sebab result chehh

Dekat sini aku nak emphasized, kalau boleh, bila ada adik adik lepas spm, bagilah mereka pendedahan dengan dunia kareer di luar
Jangan dipaksa apa yang kena ambil tapi suggest
Yang penting tu niat dan minat, bukan glamour
Bukan nak sama dengan kawan, boyfriend, girlfriend, tu takkan ke mana
Ini soal kareer yang inshaallah dekat 30 tahun kau akan hadap hari hari
Kalau takde pendedahan dalam keluarga, pergi tanya pendapat, pergi exhibition
Bukan apa, dulu bila aku pergi pameran pameran pendidikan ni
Pelik tengok sikitnya bangsa aku
Tak berminat ke nak tau benda macamni? Jom Heboh ramai pulak pergikan

Dan yang last bila dah ada decision, paling penting, jangan lupa Istikharah
Allah tahu apa yang terbaik untuk kita
Good luck adik adik yang tunggu result spm, moga dipermudahkah :)

Aiskrim

Safiyyah Adnan ni baru 9 tahun tapi dia ada facebook sebab Asmaa buatkan
Mula mula profile picture dia letak gambar spongebob ye
Tapi sekarang dah maju, pandai pilih gambar dia suka, then mintak orang cropkan
Maju betul budak-budak zaman sekarang
Aku dulu sebaya dia main solitaire je hari hari

Ohh bukan kesan facebook terhadap kanak kanak yang ingin dibincangkan hari ini
Si Safiyyah ni tak buka pun facebook dia, kakak dia yang register sebab nak buat main Farmville (kakak dia pun budak jugak, tak faham betul)
Cuma hari ni tiba tiba dia tegur dekat chat facebook
She started her conversation with : "Along apa khabar?"
Rasa nak gelak, sopan betul budak sorang ni hahaha

To be true, lama gila ni nak tunggu dia taip tapi berbaloi

Ohh bacalah atas ni, aiskrim
Kitorang satu family sangatlah suka makan aiskrim
Si Safiyyah ni selalu jadi teman aku nak beli aiskrim petang petang
Ambil je dia sekolah, selalu singgah kedai, aku belanja dia aiskrim
Tadi bila chat, piah mintak duit "4quot;
Bila tanya nak buat apa rupa rupanya nak beli aiskrim
And see, dia concern aku sejuk tak boleh makan aiskrim hehe

Mungkinkah budak berusia 9 tahun faham erti rindu?
Entahlah, aku pun tak pasti, tapi yang aku yakin yang:
Rasa sangat tak sabar nak belanja Safiyyah aiskrim! :)

Patut atau tidak?

It is Monday and I am relieved that it is holiday :)
I have few homeworks to finish but I am still here, merepek in this blog
Hmm actually my heart is kinda 'berbolak-balik'
Sama ada nak balik Malaysia or not this summer
Hari tu decide nak balik, then tak jadi, then nak balik, then tak jadi, and malam tadi rasa nak balik pulak
Entah ape ape kannn?

Homesick is not the main reason here, I am good enough to handle it I guess
Honestly I am surprised with my achievement so far, but I know I am good now
I miss them, they miss me, but we know the fact that : we are separated by distance but not love :)
The only thing that made me feel like going back is the change in OSU from quarter system to semester system which will start on 2012
See, this year, Spring ends on June 9 and Fall starts on Sept 21 (Raya : Aug 30)
But on 2012, Spring ends on June 7 but Fall starts on Aug 22! (Raya : Aug 19)
I have planned to take class in Summer, short class maybe but I am not sure now
Since nak balik rumah mahal, mestilah nak balik yang berkualiti kan?
(Still, raya is not the main reason tho, but MONEY is :D)

Ohh last week I watched two movies
 Tron 3D and Fair Game
 Okay Tron best la jugak, hero kacak, even 3D dia tak la gempak sangat
 Idk, maybe dah banyak sangat tengok 3D and 4D dekat disneyland
 So rasa 3D Tron sedang sedang je xD

But Fair Game, ohhh
 I like that movie, not only because the movie is 'my type'
 But there are few shots taken at Malaysia
 Start je, terus tunjuk menara kl and klcc
 Kinda excited jugaklahh dapat tengok movie dekat Us filmed at Malaysia

Haa another thing
Yesterday, for the first time in my life, I played squash

And now I am falling in love with it!
I keep on thinking about it, nak main lagi
Look, dah dapat hobi baru hihi
Ohh yeah, today is Martin Luther King Jr.
Since I was in school, I always like his quotes
But just now terajin nak google and found this one

Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

It is good to ponder, kan? :)
Okay back to the thesis statement, macam mana ni? Nak balik ke tak? +.+
