Challenge - Day 17

sorry again for the late post. recently i am so busy with so many assignments (not that many though but yeah one assignment i need to do thorough research so it quite takes lots of my times).

today i will write about my Public Speaking class.

i like this class. i like to speak actually but my English proficiency is not that really good so when it comes to deliver a speech, i will feel a bit intimidated. but that's not really gonna stop me to stand in front of a big crowd (basically my own classmates which is not a really big crowd so there i exaggerated like always) and speak confidently. i would feel good if i am really prepared for that speech, i mean i have all those materials that i can deliver competently and get the crowd to be interested with what i'm talking in front.

so basically, it is about confident. i have a friend whose fluency in English speaking is not that really good (i mean worse that me) but her confident level is higher than the stars. she could speak with bad grammar but that's not gonna stop her to continue speaking.

i found it as a good way to improve speaking ability because when we get used to speak especially in front of big crowd who of course gonna judge and criticize us or worse, mocking us, we will gather more experience rather than just speaking behind the curtain. we need feedback from others for further improvement as they see what is wrong with our speech and our speaking ability.

public speaking is a very powerful tool to move other people's hearts. especially when you have the ability to persuade people and to let people listen to your speech with full interest. for example, a powerful politician uses public speaking to deliver his or her messages when campaigning and he or she would make full use of the speech to persuade people in order to raise votes on him or her.

with that, i hope i can improve my speaking ability during this class and be a little less nervous when i am appointed to give an impromptu speech in front of the others. i am pretty sure getting used to speak in front of public gonna help me in my English proficiency.

bye for now.

so, adios azizos.

Challenge - Day 16

again, i was late to post a blog according to the challenge. i am so sorry. hooked up with pretty much things at night though. but, this is it, here's the post.

i want to write about something i do, or did, during my A-Level year.

during the time, i held a position in one of the departments in ALUK Society - The Academic Department - as the Head of Department.

the department comprised of 8 people from ALUK Society including me and 2 additional girls from ALMEC Society.

the history of the Academic Department:
before the formation of the department, all the applicants for any position in the society needed to go through the interview by the seniors. there were only E'zzati and i applying for the position of the Head of Academic Department. so, we did the interview quite well as there was only some talks and chats, sharing some experiences moment and all.

after Coronation Day - where the High Committee (HICOM) being announced for all their positions - and all ALUK people being told about their new organizing structure, there was the very first meeting for the new society. we were all assigned to respective departments. E'zzati and i were the only members of the Academic Department. but then, due to the lack of people for the most important department of the society, Nazura volunteered herself to be the member of my department, changing from the Religious Department. and so, there were me with those two girls.

some days after, i thought that we need to get to know each other, so i held a meeting - our very first meeting of the department. so at the meeting, other than getting know of each other, we planned to add up our members of department so that it would be much easier to organize any event. afterwards, we promoted the plan through social media - Facebook and WhatsApp mainly - asking them to join our department but we didn't get much response (ALUK people are so dull and not supportive at all). luckily, Jamalina and Hisyam turned up for the interview (yeah, we held an interview session to get to know the applicants) and since there were only two of them and they were good enough for our department, so we accepted them in.

but then, we still in need of more members. so i asked all of the current members - E'zzati, Nazura, Hisyam and Jamalina - to ask any of their friends to join our department as none of my friends were good enough for my department and i didn't prefer to work with people i know much, afraid they would not act professionally. fortunately, E'zzati's friend, Shariff willing to join our department while Jamalina got two of her friends, Aina and Nadira to join us too.

some days after, i held a meeting to acknowledge each other and form an organizing structure. at the meeting we elected Nazura as my assistant, E'zzati and the treasurer and Hisyam and Nadira as the secretaries. as for Jamalina and Shariff, they were the designers for any of the department's projects that require any designing task and Aina as the social communicator who needs to communicate to ALUK people by giving out promotions and stuffs like that through social media.

we held so many (notice that i exaggerated but quite true actually) events ever since and working with them is so much fun. they are easy to work with and they listen to me (though not at all time but they are good). i am really glad that we had the chance to get to know each other through this department. so many predicaments we faced, and we faced them together. i am so happy to work with them and acknowledge myself, my department, The Academic Department of ALUK Society is the best department in the society (hahaa quite a true statement actually).

actually, we had two additional girls from ALMEC named Syafiqah and Nadiah. they bacame part of our team since if there is any collaborative energy needed for any event especially the Study Group project with ALMEC Society, there would be easy to discuss about it (but then, not so much collaboration we did hahaaa).

to summarize up the whole essay, at the beginning of the formation of the department, there were only me and E'zzati. the we added Nazura in. right after interview session for new incoming members, we added Jamalina and Hisyam. then, we added another three members, Shariff, Aina and Nadira before the additional two girls, Syafiqah and Nadiah from the ALMEC.

p/s: we are actually planning to hold out a dinner as the last gathering before the department members officially dismissed since we are now in the third semester in INTEC and the positions are need to be passed to the juniors. so, hopefully there would not be any drama during the dinner hahaa especially from me.

i think that is all for now.

so, adios azizos.

Challenge - Day 15

so, i have completed a half of a month of the September's Challenge "A Blog A Day". although, having some posts being posted the day after (or some days after), alhamdulillah, up til now, i still could keep up with the challenge despite the delay.

reaching this half milestone, i admit that it is actually quite hard keeping up with the challenge. since i am still a novice in this blogging world and having this kind of challenge at the beginning stage, i think it is quite an achievement to reach this far (applause to me...yayyy!).

in spite having nothing to tell and most of the times, i posted stupid things and ridiculous to the limit that i can't even bear to read, but i still put on the effort to write even those stupid things just to adhere to the challenge, please you my readers and satisfy myself for the hard work (though not so hard).

i am looking forward for this challenge to be completed successfully just in time with the expected date. by the time, i hope that i would develop much better quality in writing and my perception on writing essays would be changed towards the positive view that i can do it very easily whenever and wherever especially when being asked by lecturers for assignments.

it is actually my interest and fascination in writing are kinda developing by keeping up with this challenge as i am getting used to write and write and write for every single day for every single thing happen in my life for every single time (i like those "for every single ..." keep repeating like shit).

i know that i am still lacking in some major parts of writing essays such as the organization, the language, the grammar, and the most importantly the contribution of ideas. those things still troubling me in producing good essays. however, i did use some methods or ways to overcome these problems such as referring to Google, reading other blogger's posts, checking out the dictionary and thesaurus and some more. so, you could imagine how terrible my essays are before i joined in the blogging world. as mentioned before, i really hate doing essays but not anymore. in fact, my mind keeps arranging words into good phrases and imagining myself composing an essay to be posted in my blog. i'm so nerd,yeah i know but i don't care.

thank God i have developed interest in this new hobby before i got enroll to the university which of course would require me to write about basically anything on every course that i would take. it is not a big deal for me now. in fact, i kinda love to do it every now and then.

you too should encourage yourself to write even a short note or a journal to practice writing as it is actually kinda fun to read it back at some later times. you would find it amusing and maybe funny (just if you have a sense of humor though) and would cheer up your life whenever you feel stressful at that moment. or you can always read mine hahaa.

i think that's all for now.

so adios azizos.

Challenge - Day 14

i know i should have posted early, but i didn't because i can (muahahahahaa....)

no, it's actually i got a midnight watch with Hazmi, Afiq and Adam yesterday. it's been so long since i haven't watched that series. i missed so many cycles already.

well, let's just get started.

it is a good thing to do something to shift your attention over one thing you are not really like to do. in my case, i hate doing essays - i mean personal statement. it is so ironic to say that that i even have my own blog and and i write stuffs in it, right? but that is how i feel actually.

to fully understand this paradoxical circumstance is that by knowing the source of the complication; PASSION. yes, it is true that i have passion for my blogging activity but hatred (LOL such a big word maybe it is more to "dislike", i guess?) for the personal statement.

there are many reasons that i could list them down and have you get the exact details for why this is happening.

firstly, blogging is my hobby and crafting remarkable personal statement is certainly not. as the definition of hobby tells, blogging is an activity that i do regularly in my leisure time for pleasure. how can i be amused doing personal statement which to emphasize my inner qualities and characters that are interesting for the admission officers to admit me into their universities? i don't even think i have something unique in myself that is fascinating to share. or maybe there are some yet to be discovered.

secondly, blogging is a type of essays that i could write casually and having no one to criticize the outcome of it (or maybe you may critic and comment me but it doesn't really gonna effect me much in my life). contradicts to the personal statement, i have to write something about me that could spark interests in the officers' cold hearts (hehe i don't mean it that way but yeah...) and if i don't, i could not enter the university and my life will be ruined.

thirdly, blogging does not require me to brainstorm ideas - i just need to think of something even a stupid one and write about it for all i want but it is a different story for personal statement. for the personal statement, i need to think very deeply of things that i have to write to produce an astounding essay - or maybe a magnum opus - which could be cumbersome and it is really annoying to do so. i hate to do things that force me to ponder very very very deeply because i don't want to and i hate it and i don't want to (bitchy huh?).

fourthly, i don't want to write more because it gets irritating even to think about it more and more and more. i think that's it for the reasons.

as for the conclusion, maybe doing personal statement is something that i hate the most, but to look at it positively, i think that is one way for me to know more about myself. i mean, when else i would contemplate myself to extract out my personal, unique qualities and to put them in the form of written masterpiece? at least by doing so, i would know myself more and appreciate what do i have in me. doing personal statement also teaches me to do something very carefully and that is one of the life skills that i need to have to be excellent.

it think that summarizes up everything. in the end, we have to be positive and face the predicaments with smile and joy.

so, adios azizos.

Challenge - Day 13

so i spent the entire day in front of my laptop. doing in-depth research for universities i am planning to apply. but mostly, i went to Seattle, Washington. hurmm...i like the study plan. i mean, my study plan if i am studying over there. i don't really up to Ivy League but my heart keeps thumping hard for Brown. 

i don't have any idea why is that so. i mean, going for those prestigious schools is really difficult even just to apply. yeah, so many things to do such as personal statement, essays, recommendation letters, academic transcripts, some sort of evaluations and so much more. 

but that don't really stops me actually. the one thing i'm afraid of is that if i get the chance to enter such schools, i don't think i could keep up with their academic environment. i mean, of course all of the students are super genius (considering i am one of them) and the urge to compete among them just to prove that we are so much better than the rest is an impossible task for me even to think of. it will definitely give me headache, or worse - my brain could explode. even you will be thinking of committing suicide just to get rid yourselves out of the stressful surrounding. 

but mainly, those are just my overly exaggerated point of view. if we holding on our own strong virtues and trying the best to get rid of negative thoughts, insha Allah everything will be just fine. 

i don't really up to write right now. 

i'll make sure i have something interesting to share with you tomorrow. 

so, adios azizos.

Challenge - Day 12

currently i am in a dilemma to choose university.

mainly because of my performance. i'm lacking in several areas.

i don't know if i can even enter certain schools that i really interested in.

should i feel that way? should i feel intimidated?

sometimes i feel it is okay to feel that way because it gives me motivation to strive to be better.

but most of the times, i will keep asking myself this kind of questions;
"do you really wanna go to this school?", "do you think you can manage to get into this school?", "does this school is a good fit for you?"

to think about, none of them are good for me. i don't even know my forte. i don't even think i have one.

i don't have something in me that is intriguing enough for those admission officers to admit me into their schools. i basically don't have anything.

i don't feel to write even.

i think that's it.

so, adios azizos.

Challenge - Day 11

i am so sorry everyone. i forgot to blog for yesterday event. i was outside meeting up my friends, chatting until late midnight.

so, about yesterday's event. what has happened?

I CHANGED MY CLASS AGAIN....LIKE AGAIN??!!

let me start with the beginning of the semester. this semester!

after one-month plus holidays, i returned to the college to continue my study in A-Level for the third semester. we already got the result of the second semester (which i failed to pass the cutoff point) and so i needed to repeat some papers and so i did, and alhamdulillah i passed. then, i continue the study until the Raya break. my class for that moment was Nevada.

during that moment, there was a proposal to ask for a change for Accounting A2 to Accounting AS and Psychology AS to Psychology A2. the proposal was started by Nadine but got rejected since the end of the second semester but was continued by Wan and it passed (maybe because the changed of Head of Program). so, i changed my Accounting A2 to AS (which is less difficult and less cumbersome for me to carry though i still didn't like it) and Psychology AS to A2 (it was more fun to learn more about psychology). and because of that, i had to change my class. all the students who did the same as me was grouped in one class named New York. so, we began the lecture right after that until Raya break.

after Raya, there was two weeks (or more) of lecture and starting the week after, i heard the rumors that US-bound A-Level students will change the program to ACTP. and soon after that, we did. so now, i am an ACTP student and my class was changed back to Nevada with the same old people.

yesterday, surprisingly, there was a news pasted on the noticeboard at the Academic Affairs Office stated that i and along with the students who will be majoring in these particular areas such as Business, Business Administration, Accounting, Economics and Finance will be grouped in one class, learning the same courses under the same track; the Business track. and our class is New York. so, i need to change my class, like again and again and again. it supposedly be started today but my Psychology lecturer is on leave so there is no class for today.

during those periods, i have undergone too many changes that is too confounding for me to comprehend. but i take those changes as the challenges in need to overcome as an American-program student who needs to be flexible and easily adapted to immediate changes. although it is confusing and i am now need to breath a little bit, but i know that, those changes are for my own benefits. i will try to embrace this predicament with an open heart but i am not hoping for any changes again, at least not in this very recent.

i think that is all for now.

so adios azizos.

Challenge - Day 10

so today was a plain day to me.

regret for the afternoon sleep.

dragged me until evening.

i hate to sleep.

it is a form of pleasurable torture.

i used quarter of the day doing nothing.

just because of that damn sleep.

but then, i still feel sleepy.

even when i'm writing this post.

but then, i have to do revision.

for tomorrow's test.

and it is CTES40.

about law.

i hate dealing with law.

it makes me sleepy.

HOW CAN I DO THE REVISION THEN ??!

it is all because of that damn sleep.

screw you bed.

you attracted me to indulge you.

your comfy look was really tempting though.

but still i hate you.

i don't know what am i writing right now.

pretty much just a stupid confession.

i am sorry everyone.

have you wasting your time.

reading this piece of shit.

still i hate to go to sleep.

but i have to sleep.

what can i do now?

the world is unfair.

i don't wanna sleep.

i should get back to do the revision.

"stop babbling, Aziz".

yeah i should go now.

but i am very sleepy.

oh god, why do i feel like this?

in this very moment.

i need to do that damn revision.

my eyelids wanting to lie down.

my brain wanting to rest.

"you said you wanna go revising"

okay, bitch. i'm going off now.

that bitch though.

probably i should go now.

or should i sleep instead?

but what about my test tomorrow?

actually i already took the test before.

before changing to ACTP.

but i wanna retaking it.

because i wasn't doing so good for the test.

since in A-Level, CTES40 is not a credited course.

but in ACTP, it is a different story.

"STOP BABBLING AND DO THE REVISON NOW!!"

okay okay okay. don't be so mad.

chill, dude.

"don't dude me"

whatever.

i think i should go.

my inner self keeps yelling me.

it's deafening.

so, adios azizos.

Challenge - Day 9

as mentioned in the previous posts, i am now an ACTP student - the American preparation program.

so, today is my first day studying in the program. well, i looked forward for economics but the lecturer was absent. since i will be majoring in Economics, so i really looking forward for economics class even when i was studying in A-Level (what is A-Level again?? haha). and so the time that i had i used to do revision on upcoming English test that supposed to be right after Economics class.

during the test, i was kinda blurry and dumbstruck by the questions as i wasn't told (i didn't ask actually) how the questions would come out but alhamdulillah, it went pretty well (i really hope so for the result too).

after lunch, we were having an accounting class (i told you i hate...i mean, i not really like accounting right?). i was so surprised that my friend, Hanna who was in the engineering class joined my class for accounting since she is actually will be taking Actuarial Science as her major so she have to learn accounting or so she said (i don't really understand but whatever). the class went pretty bored as expected but i wasn't sleeping (a great achievement to me yay!).

the classes wasn't so bad..YET! so far, i am still enjoying myself through this transfer. not getting lots of assignments..YET! hopefully, i can cope with this program. pray for me ok?

here's the classes that i am taking for this Fall semester (though not so Fall but that's the name in here following the four seasons in the States..konon)

Fall Semester (September – December) 14 Weeks

CODE	COURSES	CONTACT HOURS	CREDIT VALUES
CTES40	Contemporary Legal Issues	2	2
USEC11	Introduction to Business	4	3
USAC20	Principles of Accounting	4	3
USSP11	Introduction to Psychology	3	3
USMT21	Finite Mathematics	4	3
USEL23	Fundamentals of Speech Communication	4	3
TOTAL		21	17

i think that's all for now.

so, adios azizos.

Challenge - Day 8

so today is the day which i officially leaving A-Level and joining ACTP program. or so to say, i am now a degree student. starting from tomorrow, i'll be starting my freshman year at INTEC Education College. it was so overwhelming and confounding at the same time. i am afraid i will be having a cultural shock(??) changing from exam-oriented A-Level program to continuously learned and assessed ACTP program.

the meeting was fine. alhamdulillah, the lecturers were very welcoming. we had a warm welcome from them especially from the Head of Program herself. i thought she was like a lioness, looking so wild hunting for prey. but it was so not true. she is very entertaining as a person and i could see she is serious when it comes to work. after this, i will be meeting her a lot more often. with this changed mind-set, sure it is a "NO PROBLEM".

i am really glad to know that i will be a lot more closer to Miss Asma after this. i don't even know why i really like her. she got a bitchy style and friendly. i think that is why i like her. and generally, i like those bitchy characters. i find it funny and amusing being around with people like this.

so, tomorrow will be my first class as an ACTP student. people say lots of things about this program i'll be in but it's me who gonna face, so i'm gonna face it strong. act like i don't care, because i really don't care - credit to Demi Lovato, Really Don't Care (i like her so much).

and to my dismay, tomorrow too, there will be my first ever test as an ACTP student (can you imagine having a test in your first class???) ..hahaa it was actually a continuation class from my A-Level class but still, i need time to adjust myself what. i don't really mind with the test actually. pretty sure i gonna succeed. well, at least i need this confident. LOL.

guess i should go studying now as i haven't touched anything since like forever(?). i was having a post mortem meeting regarding the i-CEF thing. and i need to submit a short report before this Wednesday at 10 pm. *blergh* going into different program or not, work is still there awaiting me.

so, adios azizos.

Challenge - Day 7

continuing the late post of the challenge. LOL.

the SECOND day of i-CEF.

after one day of event,

dropped out one tent.

hoping for a big number of people,

turned out to be not even a multiple.

putting that blame on me,

you can say it was a tragedy.

to have that kind of guilt,

pretty sure i ain't a slut.

disappointment was the day's quintessence,

sure i gonna learn from this experience.

making sure everything is in hand,

for the result not to be bland.

appreciation for the ones who came,

though it was a real lame.

thanks again for participating,

may your life will be rewarding.

although i was really tired,

but at the same time i felt elated.

for now i put my hands down,

focus on study so i won't be a clown.

that's all about today's post,

so adios azizos.

Challenge - Day 6

continuing for the late post (refer Challenge - Day 5).

6 September 2014:

this was the FIRST day of i-CEF.

since this is a late post, so i would write the summary of the event.

Booth: 
the decoration of the booths was amazing. i didn't anticipate that. they put so much effort in decorating the booths though in the beginning i thought this gonna be a disaster. it was quite a relief that they managed to adorn the booths with their own unique decorations resembling their program and the placement. i felt like i was in all over the world, travelling in one day.

Performances:
the performances were really astounding. they performed really well and though some of the performances were from the Inpro Night performances, but they did a really good by improvising the moves and styles into something more memorable. the best thing was, the crowd joined in the performances too. applaud for them for making the day.

Participation:
knowing that the schools that my volunteers and invited would not be coming to this event due to the lateness of the invitation (but it wasn't our fault to be exact), so i anticipated not so big crowd. i didn't even expected it to be more than 500 people would be there. but to my dismay, the registered participants were more than 500 and it only limited to those who registered (who wanted to enter the hall they must register first). so, it was a success, albeit a small one for the first time holding a big event like this.

Sales:
the food and drinks were absolutely delicious and cheap. i thought they would be quite pricey since there was a number of outside vendors selling the food and drinks. luckily, it didn't really a disappointment because as we were reported, the food and drinks are all sold out. another achievement for us.

i think that's it for the Day One.

so, adios azizos.

Challenge - Day 5

i am so sorry everyone for not fulfilling my responsibility to adhere to the Challenge (refer The Blogging Challenge). i was so busy this last three days (more to "so tired" though). but i will redeem it by posting three posts for each day that i left.

5 September 2014:

there was not so much to talk about. but this date remarked a memorable night to me; the Inpro Night, the closing ceremony.

after finishing my job - setting up i-CEF booths for the next day - that morning, i have to accompany Adam to the capital city of my beautiful homeland because he got a problem with his phone - THE SAME PROBLEM THAT HE HAD ONCE BEFORE AND I WAS SO FURIOUS THAT HE REPEATED THE SAME MISTAKE ALL OVER AGAIN - to repair his phone. so half of my day i spent with Adam in Kuala Lumpur. he was so amazed with this vibrant city like "an Amish going into New York City" or so as he said to me when i looked at him with strange faces. imagine he was so amused by the magnificently tall, concrete buildings - not like he's never seen them before - and how the people of KL living up their lives. but, that is actually how i feel when i see those paddy fields and green countryside area. it was fair enough and so i let him drown in his amusement.

right after the amusing experience Adam had, we went back to INTEC to check out the preparation that has been made. Adam has several things to do but my job was basically finished, just to wait for the club representatives to decorate their booths. since Adam had other things to settle, i decided to go back to Cemara with Hazmi (i had to call him to pick me up since the Inpro Night was about two hours or less and i had not prepared a thing).

so i went back to Cemara with Hazmi and we were getting ready for the anticipated night. we went to UiTM Shah Alam's stadium quite early since we wanted to do the Maghrib prayer over there as we wouldn't have to be rushing right after. then, as soon as we finished praying, we had to use the GPS to navigate us to the stadium as the university compound is amazingly huge and the signage was not that really clear during nighttime. finally, we arrived the stadium - that i thought was really big turned to be not-so big.

to our dismay, we found that those A-Level peers were still not coming, i wondered why they were so late. so, Hazmi and i were lingering around finding anyone to talk to (more to to gossip with). we found Hazshafira and Syakila who were - same like us - lingering around, not knowing what to do and sitting was too mainstream that moment. LOL. we had some chatter at the empty chairs below the VVIP viewing spot. so we talked and did some backbiting to anyone who passed by (haha sorry guys).

suddenly, Sadiid came to us asking Haz (who was the volunteer for the Inpro event) to join the Volunteer Parade. since there were not so many people in the parade, he invited Syakila, Hazmi and i to join the parade too. we were so embarrassed at first but then, it diminished as the all the volunteers are all our friends so we talked and talked and talked until the parade was about to start. after the announcement by the Master of Ceremony, the parade started and it was the volunteers to lead the parade (as a sign of appreciation to them for doing so much work during the Inpro week voluntarily). and of course, Hazmi and i grabbed that once-in-blue-moon opportunity by walking like supermodels. we were waving at the crowd like how the Miss Universe does. even, Miss Farrah who was sitting at top of the crowd sitting area saw us. i bet she was laughing at us hahaa...

the Inpro Night went really well and it was an exhilarating night for all of us, at least to me. every societies showed astounding parade and amazing performances. but i can say that the highlight of the night was the performance by the group of PM - the Xi Shua Shua - led by Hanna. it was the highlight to me because i was performing too and the rest in spite of being in different programs and whatnot, came together with us performed the dance wholehearted and it was a lot of fun doing that.

and then, of course, selfie time! everyone keeps taking picture for their memories of life.

it was so thrilling and i was so happy that night.

i think that's all for now.

so, adios azizos.

Challenge - Day 4

another day up for challenge. one statement you need to know; i like to exaggerate, so bear with this post.

for this post, i would like to write about my very special friend, a female friend (a bitch i would say hahaa) named Erni Sosilasari Probowo Suhartoyo Wak Doyok also known as Arni.

Arni lives in Johor Bahru with her beautiful loving family. she is from an affluent family. she keeps changing her boyfriend (she has a lot of ex-boyfriends that i even lost count for how many of them - yeah i like to exaggerate) from time to time but currently she is with an old-looking-but-very-rich boy named Mike (bukan nama sebenar). but there is one trait in her that i like to emphasize; shopaholic.

she is a girl who shops a lot, i mean a lot as A LOT LOT LOT ! ! ! everyday (or at least most frequently) she will come up with (at least) one thing to buy and ask all of us (those in the picture below) whether this one particular thing that she wants to buy is good or not. she will of course say "it is cheap", "there is sale", "where can i get the price this cheap" and more... but when we ask the price, "it is from RM400 to RM300" would kinda be the answer. in my mind, that is so typical Arni.

price cutting down for just RM50 is already cheap for her though it is actually approaching to RM500 even after discount. luckily, all of her choices are not that bad. she is good at picking good things to buy. so, it is quite an advantage to have her around since she kinda the queen of fashion. i like her style though. however, sometimes she can be very elegant but some other rare times, she can be hideous horrifying horrible monster who looks like a shit being kicked out of the toilet (how can even that be happened??).

whatever it is, she is a good friend to keep (yeah, i keep friends). whenever you have trouble, she will be there, comforting you, giving you advice and sometimes bitching you around to cheer you up. she cannot see any of her friends being sad and sorrow. she will try her very best to change the heavy thunderstorm into a beautiful rainbow.

i wish her all the best in her life and hopefully she being a shopaholic won't lead her to bankruptcy in later days. hahaa...nauzubillah.

that's all about now.

so, adios azizos.

Challenge - Day 3

reaching the Day 3 of the challenge, i already lost to it. haha i couldn't keep up with it since this new entry posted on 4th September instead of the day before while it is actually for the 3rd September's post. yeah i couldn't make it into time since i was out and came back late. it was almost midnight. let me tell you why.

my day started with me, waking up at my usual prime waking time; 10.30 am. of course it was quite early to me since i didn't have class that day - in fact throughout this week - so waking up that very early in the morning is not the choice that i would take haha (although while writing up this post entry i woke up at 6.38 am). so, it was actually at that time, it was only my open-my-eyes time, at 11.30 am was my get-up-from-bed time (yeah i know i am that lazybones)

right after that, i checked on my phone to see all those text messages - WhatsApp everything - and found that lots of messages in my inbox and that already ruined my day since most of it came from i-CEF group (i am so not tired thinking of that). found out that i need to update about the invitation of the schools, i opened my laptop and print out several forms and checked on emails for updates.

then, i rushed my myself for shower and straight away go to INTEC to meet Kak Gee. imagine it was scorching hot outside and i have to wait for the bus to come from the campus to the hostel and all i had for lunch was only a cheese bun (thank God that bun was okay). so after sweaty minutes of waiting, the damn bus came and i got into it that luckily in the inside, it was like i was in the fridge. well, it was worth to wait.

reached the campus, i walked hastily (i should have run but i am not a running person okay) to the Student Affairs Building only to find out that Kak Gee was on leave. oh yeah, i (maybe) cursed in my heart. but then, her assistant helped me for the things that i wanted to do so it was quite a relief. settled the case, i remembered that Maisarah wanted me to accompany her to watch a basketball match for InPro since her crush was in the team that would be playing.

she arrived late since she just had a meeting but thank God i had someone to talk to while waiting for her so i wasn't alone in the middle of the crowd that i had forgiven her. we have reaching the integral part of the story.

during the match, Maisarah got a call from her Mom saying that her Grandma was gone. we were so shocked (actually it was not that really shocking to me since i have not experienced the death of my close ones so i don't know how to feel empathy about that) for the news and she scolded me for being indifferent about that. we were actually laughing for my nonchalance. she was crying that i needed to cover her face with my bag (of course i needed to do that since it was in the middle of the crowd and i didn't want people regarded us or especially me, doing something bad to her that her cried). but then, she said that she'd stay for the game until her crush's team finished the qualifying level. and then, we went back to Section 18 by Adam who had to drive from Cemara to INTEC and back to Cemara again since there was no bus available and the plan to take a cab was screwed by the taxi drivers' unwillingness to drive us unless we pay double the original fare. we were with two other girls - Syifa's, a new friend who i met while we were the PMs for INTEC's MDS, and her friend - who told us about the non-availability of the bus.

reached Cemara residence, Maisarah packed her things since she needed to go back to her house at Setiawangsa, Kuala Lumpur and go back to her hometown. Adam and I along with Aifaa and Arni agreed to send her home. so after grabbed a quick meal from a newly-opened fast food restaurant, Adam drove us to the capital city of Malaysia. but instead of sending her straight away to her house, we dropped by a famous restaurant in her housing area to grab a supper. so the supper was on her since she insisted so badly that arguing her was not an option. but Arni paid some of the amount back but the rest didn't including me since i love free food but i plan to treat her dinner or something later (hopefully you are not reading this Maisarah, hihi).

right after, we stopped her at her house and she - again - insisted us to go into the house though we refused for so many times but to no avail, we eventually got into her beautiful house. Aifaa was playing the piano with a good melody that i did a little not-so ballet dance while waiting for Arni did the poo-poo.

after wished her condolences and everything, we went back to Shah Alam at 11 pm and arrived shortly passed the curfew time; 11.30 pm. luckily, all of us got into the hostel without any interrogation from the security. after did the Isyak prayer, i remembered that i needed to buy the InPro jerseys for my classmates and so i went to Izwan's house which is at the highest level of the neighborhood block. reluctantly, i went to house and grabbed those jerseys and went back to my room within minutes. later, i planned to continue to write this blog for September 3rd's post, but my eyes couldn't stay any longer. and that's why this post ended up to be written today's morning.

that's all about what happen in my day of September 3rd. sorry for the late post.

so, adios azizos.

Challenge - Day 2

so i would like to share about major event happened today. as mentioned, EVENT. singular. only one important event in my life today because i wasn't trying to be productive today since i feel so free without any classes throughout the week so i decide to let this groundbreaking freedom be spent without doing nothing (actually i'm quite busy with iCEF so i am not actually that free though - what am i talking about??). put that thing away for awhile.

okay. what is the EVENT that happened today? sorry for the babble up there, it is just my way to express the feeling *sigh*.

so, i met up with my sponsor at 3.30 pm (supposedly but of course "Janji Melayu" so it went up to be started around 4 pm). the meeting was meant to discuss about the changing of the program that i am currently enrolled in which is A-Level that need to be changed to ACTP (refer Interchange Conundrum). the officer told us about what we will face and those new requirements, new program structure and those things that made me perplexed eventually.

just before the meeting, Adam and i went to the Islamic Center (well it is a "surau" - nama nak gempak je..) to pray and right after that we did a little talk. he was actually went to the meeting to ask the officer to change his placement country which is from Australia to the States. so, he decided to go with me to the meeting as he could not do that alone and well, i didn't have anyone to go to, so we agreed to go together.

during the meeting, there were so many butterflies happily flying in my stomach. i didn't even know why. Adam said that (i paraphrase as) "you are nervous because you love me right". of course, i said "NO". but i wasn't sure myself. i wanted Adam to go to the US so badly because (i) it is his dream to study in prominent universities in America and (ii) at least i have someone to talk to about university application (yeah, i don't have anyone to talk about the thing that i even get envy to my current best friends - those people who are in the picture below - when they say this and that about Australian university application because they can share it among them and i am like a loner listen sorrowfully that slowly i cry in my heart longing for people who i can talk to about my university application, but i put that thing away as it is just some trivial thing that i should not think about too much)

back to the meeting thingy. i felt very confused and dumbfounded by the officer's explanation regarding our changing of program. at first, he said that we will be quitting A-Level and continuing our study as ADFP students (meaning that we will have 1 year foundation studies in INTEC + 4 years Bachelor's degree in the US - if and only if we pass the cutoff point which is getting CGPA 3.50) or not, we have to continue as ACTP students (1 year foundation + 1 year degree in INTEC + 3 years degree in the US). and then the Head of ADP Program said that we will continue the studies in INTEC as ACTP. if you get confuse too then we can become friends. although so many questions were being asked, i still got lost in the middle of the discussion. i just don't get it up til now that i decide maybe i need to attend another meeting next Monday for the briefing of my new program.

right after the meeting, i was so stressed out (it is very rare for me to experience stress) that i decided to go have early dinner with Adam (it was 5 pm i guess). even Adam who failed in his pursuit of changing his placement country felt so relaxed and happy though being stressful is kinda his hobby. but then, i was able to diminish my mental pressure after having good food.

that's all about today's event. pretty bland yeah i know but i am glad i can still continue the challenge - posting up new entry everyday. i will try to keep it up and may the odds be in my favor. hehehe

so, adios azizos.

Challenge - Day 1

so this is the beginning of the Blogging Challenge.

i didn't really do much thing today, yeah stuck in my room for most of the day in Cemara. but it was still quite productive to me since i did much more thing just for this blogging challenge which is so unusual to me to be productive especially on holidays.

surprisingly, i woke up quite early today ( i was planning to have my Sahoor but yeah...). very unusual to me though because i often wake up at 7 in the morning for Subuh prayer (...yeah i know i'm a bad Muslim) but today i woke up at 6.30 (not that early though but still early what... at least for someone like me)

right after the prayer, i stayed up until 11.00. just did some random internet browsing - Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, all that kind of stuffs - and i played Pokemon eventually hahaa...

and then i feel asleep. my eyes couldn't stand any longer. pity them. so i slept until i heard the call for Zohor prayer (yeah, nowadays my alarm is the azan). sleepily, i got up from my bed and head for the pantry and do some dishwashing. it was so messy in the sink and i not that kind of person who can tolerate messiness.

right after that, i showered and prayed for Zohor prayer that was past an hour ago (i tried to improve this behavior but it still went on and on but i will still trying). and then, to my regret, i played Pokemon for the second time *sigh*

until Syahmi came back to Cemara from Malacca that evening, i was still playing and i kept playing it until 7 pm that we went for nearby Pasar Malam (night market) to buy something for our dinner (in my case for my break fast). i grabbed a Cendol filled with stuff that should be put for ABC but yeah whatever, i basically eat everything.

oh yeah, i forgot to mention for my frustration of doing laundry. it is really suck when you found out that you don't have enough coins for the washing machine and the dryer. so i scavenged the entire house for coins that might be hidden somewhere but to no avail. so i asked my friends through WhatsApp but i got negative responses. so then i asked Syahmi after his arrival and alhamdulillah he got some thogh still not enough. after some transactions at the Pasar Malam, finally i have enough coins for the dryer that cost me RM4.00. but i was worth it because i'm not that diligent enough to dry my clothes under the scorching sun.

but then, Arni offered me some of her coins (i was like, after i did all the trouble for that damn coins???). well, i still received her offer and exchange the coins with two Ringgit notes.

later, i had a meeting for iCEF. well, i am in charge for academic booth inside the Great Hall of INTEC Education College (my college) so i went for the meeting nonchalantly. it was a lengthy discussion as there are so many problems arose that dragged me until 11 pm.

that is why i couldn't write before the time. i am so sorry for myself and all of you.

those were what i did on the first day of beautiful September. stay with me for more to come.

so, adios azizos.
