1st Impression

Finally, 1 week of orientation is over and I'm officially KMBian. These are my so called 1st impression;

1. Location
We got lost when first coming here. KMB's surrounded by estates and situated in rural area- Bkt. Changgang. and not to mention, hundreds km away from K'tan. Huh. I miss K'tan and the people there. Banting is quite ok. Pekan Banting is ok. I like Kota Bharu more :)

2. People (fellow kmbians)
Genius! I feel very inferior here. They talk in advanced English and look very charismatic. The students here mostly from MRSM,SBP and majority, taking medicine. There's sb, who kinda stutter when pronouncing MAAHAD MUHAMMADI. I was =.=. The worst part is I'm hella ALONE! 7 days here like attending tamrin at maahad. I was totally exhausted with the orientation activities (mostly b'cause 7 month of honeymoon at home, doing nothing, basically just eating and sleeping.. - just exaggeration. )

3. Food
The food is ok but beverages is kinda "cair". Tak rasa milo, horlick pun. Haha. (makan free pun x bersyukur :P) Still, I miss my mom's cooking. Dewan Selera (DS) serves food 5 times a day. We also can buy food from KFC (Food court) and kiosk.

4. Hostel
2 students per room. I got a roommate from Cheras.

Actually, I just want to highlight the #2. But at the same time, I don't want to post something sad here.

I've choose to take IB
There's no turning back.
I can do it, InsyaAllah.

HECTIC

Loads of things and stories to be told.
But I'm gonna post about those later.
Everything's new here. new environment, new friends. (but the college's isn't new. It's just the same :P)
I'll say, its HECTIC. Enough said!

Till then :)

Short update

Hi there! What's up?

I'm going to Banting tomorrow.

The holidays will be a few days before Eid..

Wish me luck.

Seriously, I'm so scared =.=

P/S:packing belum siap. xmao tinggal buffy & stappie. uwaa!

Bicycle riding- get fit, stay fit and save money

Yesterday, about 6.30 pm, I went out for bicycle riding. Yippie. It's been a long time i didn't ride bicycle. It was fun, no doubt and the gale- force wind blew as if it was about raining. gale- force? Ok, it's hyperbola. :)

I still remembered a moment when i was a little child. I used to play bicycle in my house (our former house had a spacious living room) There's one day, I was about to show my act of bravado to mommy, as if I could fly with that bicycle from upstairs. and guess what, it came for a real. I fell from the stairs with my so called flying bicycle. boom ! pity me, heh?

lets see a few pictures I've googled :)

bicycles in ancient time..

Romantic, is it? 1st person in mind when seeing this is Rain. "Full house" auwww~~

weird and unique.

Now, technologies is so advance.
The bicycle can be even folded, especially for facilitating storage.

Ps:I used to ride tandem bicycle with een and we fell -.-

Cuak

CUAK?

Yep, I'm very cuak right now.

According to urbandictionary,

Cuak is an onomatopoeic word used to ridicule a bad joke, or a bizzare situation.

- What is the difference between a duck an a dog?
- What?
- The name, idiot!
- Cuak..

Please note that, I'm not talking about that kind of cuak. Cuak (that I'm taking about) means a feeling of nervous, scared, yadda yadda. Enough said! Check kamus dewan on your own, ok? (:

To be honest, these days, I'm overwhelmed with anxiety..

Actually, I'm thinking about future and it makes me shuddering to no extend. Have you ever thought that you'd made an unwise decision, that probably ruins your dreams? And there's no other way to change that kind of decision. Haven't you?

We sometimes should take risks in our life, right? or else, our dreams wont come true. Am I right?

But what if ..... ? (I wonder why there's always that kind of question)

Ya Allah, bantulah aku menggapai cita- citaku..

It's okay to be afraid. It's normal, human. Bravery is being afraid but doing the right thing anyway. Be brave. Believe in yourself. Take risks. Face your fear and don't look back.

There's no turning back. Embrace the future, face your fear. I can do it, I can do it.

Just now, I talked with Adnin. (Only God knows how I miss her, and the others also) I know I'm not the only one who scared bout future. Everyone does. Thanks for your words and sorry, I'm not really a good adviser.

Last but not least, be positive Atikah, POSITIVE!

Till then :)


Ps: I really wanna talk to my friends; but at the same time I don't want to disturb them.

RC

05 June : Rachel Corrie's seized by Israeli. Huh.

I feel like sharing one of the articles i read. *link*

___________________________

Semalam Razali Awang, pemberita TV3 yang pergi ke Gaza baru-baru ni, datang ke syarikat kami untuk berkongsi pengalamannya pergi ke Gaza baru-baru ini. Persatuan Islam Pekerja yang anjurkan. Razali ni tiap kali dia bercerita, mesti tersekat-sekat sebab dia kata dia tak dapat lupakan pengalaman yang dia akan kenang sampai mati.

Ada beberapa perkara yang mahu saya kongsi bersama kerana ianya membuatkan tidur saya tidak lena...

Mesir

Razali kata, ini Firaun moden. Nama je Islam tapi dah terlalu sekular. Sanggup kencing di dinding-dinding masjid.

Mesir sekat sempadan sedangkan hanya itu sahaja jalan darat hendak ke Gaza . Makanan dan ubat-ubatan semuanya rosak di sempadan Mesir-Gaza. Sempadan Mesir-Gaza berada dalam kawasan sepanjang 14 kilometer. Kalau lah tiada sekatan, rakyat Palestin takkan kebuluran...

"Mesir lebih rela bersempadan dengan Israel daripada bersempadan dengan Hamas, Apa punya manusia ni..!", kata Razali Awang.

Khutbah Jumaat di Mesir mengharamkan khutbah mengenai keganasan di Gaza . Razali beritahu rakyat Palestin yang dia interview, di Malaysia, tiap Jumaat kami bacakan Qunut Nazilah dan bersolat hajat demi kesejahteraan rakyat Palestin…

Berapa banyak checkpoint dia kena lalui di Mesir… tapi dengan pertolongan Allah SWT, semuanya berjaya dilepasi... tapi perit nya... yang mintak rasuah… charge naik bas sejauh 500 meter ialah RM70!!!

Memang sekutu kuat Amerika and Israel (Eee…tak ingin hantar anak gi Al Azhar... lebih baik hantar ke negara Islam lain... UIA pun dah bagus!!!)

Gaza (Palestine)

Terbahagi kepada 2 – Hamas dan Fatah… Belah Fatah ada Kasino!

Kata wartawan dari Belgium dan Itali, the best strawberry in the world comes from Gaza !

Imam Shafie lahir di sini (sebak pulak bila dengar yang ni).

Razali kata rakyat Palestin sangat berpegang teguh kepada ajaran Islam dan mazhab Shafie. Orang Palestin sangat baik dan peramah jika dibandingkan dengan Pak Arab di Mesir tu.. Moyang Rasulullah SAW dikebumikan dia sini (lupa nama... tapi dia mention Hashim…).

Beautiful country, iklim Mediterranean. boleh kalahkan Los Angeles kalau tak kerana peperangan..

Hamas

Memang kalangan yang rela mati sebab mati syahid. Rela mati bila-bila masa. Bila bersalam perpisahan dengan Razali dia orang ucap "Kalau anda datang lagi ke sini, adakah kita akan bertemu lagi?"…macam mereka tahu yang mereka akan mati bila-bila masa sahaja.

Tulang-temulang manusia yang melekat di dinding bangunan-bangunan yang rosak akibat dibom Yahudi/Zionis, tak busuk walau dah berminggu!

Mayat tak reput langsung, bila kubur dibedil oleh Israel… punyalah jahat bangsa Yahudi/Zionis, kubur pun dibedil konon tempat simpan senjata.

Hamas ada 25,000 org... tak de senjata canggih tapi yang mati hanya 100 lebih je!!!

Hamas ni beroperasi di bawah tanah dan mereka berada dimana-mana saja. mereka beroperasi dalam kumpulan-kumpulan kecil.

Isteri-isteri kepada yang mati syahid, hanya ada satu misi, untuk berperang dan mati syahid supaya dapat jumpa semula suami masing-masing di syurga...

Bagi mereka, kanak-kanak yang mati berada di sisi Allah SWT.

Menurut seorang ibu yang anaknya mati syahid, hari ni sorang mati, esok pasti lahir seorang lagi bayi yang bakal menjadi pejuang Islam...

Israel

Memang pengecut sebab tak berani berperang secara berhadapan dengan Hamas. di darat hanya duduk dalam kereta kebal. lepastu serang dengan bom pintar atau bom fosforus dari jarak jauh.

Dia org tau Hamas ada penembak tepat! jadi mereka takut nak turun dari kereta kebal.

Kereta kebal Israel musnahkan tanaman seperti anggur dan pokok zaitun sebab tanaman ni makan masa bertahun untuk tumbuh balik. Biar rakyat Palestin kebulur dan tak de sumber pendapatan.

Semua resolusi PBB, satu pun Israel tak ikut!!! Ada back-up besar lah katakan...

Rakyat Palestine

Sedih Razali tengok dia orang rebus rumput sebab dah tak de makanan.

Kanak-kanak tiada cita-cita lain selain dari ingin menjadi pengebom berani mati kerana trauma melihat ahli keluarga dibunuh di depan mata sendiri!

Di hospital - pembedahan, jahit kulit ke apa ke… terpaksa dibuat tanpa bius. Sebab - ubat dah tak de.

Razali kata dia tak tahan dia tengok budak-budak menjerit-menjerit kesakitan bila kepala di jahit!

Dia jugak pergi sendiri ke dewan bedah yang telah dibedil dengan bom fosforus... sebelum serangan ada beberapa orang doktor sedang bedah pesakit… Razali kata tak de apa yang tinggal... semua dah jadi abu!!! Ada la nampak serpihan tulang sikit-sikit disana-sini… Fosforus ni dia hancurkan kulit dan tulang… Nauzubillah.

Ada banyak lagi... tapi terlalu panjang untuk ditulis. Razali Awang memang volunteer nak pergi ke Gaza... jadi, inilah yang diceritakan oleh beliau.

Satu lagi antara pembekal rifle ke Israel selain dari USA ialah negara jiran kita yang paling dekat iaitu SINGAPURA! jadi Razali kata kalau kita shopping dekat sana macam kita sokong Israel.

Jadi kawan-kawan, kita terus berdoa dan berdoa untuk keselamatan saudara Islam kita di mana jua mereka berada..

Wassalam

Mix & Match

See above? It's my 1st try and I really don't know much about fashion, so I'm just trying to mix and match. but the result is @#$%^&

#1 Im not gonna comment much bout the 1st one ( black). The stilettoe mesmerizes me as it's t0o high -.-

#2 I like the L'est rose dress. it give a feminine touch for those who wear it. As it's short sleeve, a cardigan 's just nice or maybe you can wear it with a long sleeved tops.

I'm not a fashion consultant, so I think, it's better for me to stop. Hehe

Till then :)

News

IPOH: Mara will only provide scholarships to students who secured places in top foreign universities or colleges, equivalent to Cambridge and Oxford universities in the United Kingdom or Harvard University in the United States from next year.
Currently, it offers scholarships to students pursuing courses at other higher institutions of learning overseas.

Rural and Regional Development Minister Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal said the move was to promote local universities which also offered courses and facilities at par with their foreign counterparts.
This was discussed in the cabinet meeting and it will be implemented next year," he said.
"Some of our universities such as Universiti Malaya are at par with many foreign universities. We should take advantage of our own resources before turning to foreign universities," he said after visiting University Kuala Lumpur Royal College of Medicine Perak ( yesterday.

"Why waste funds by sponsoring expensive foreign education that eventually produces the same quality as our own local graduates?"

Source: NST

As far as I concerned, Mara wants to cut down the number students sent to overseas. Some people see it as a good news but I don't think so. What say you?

D-18

Ahmad amirul :))

Till now, I haven't received the offer letter yet. I'm kinda worried but hopefully this thingy would be settled as soon as possible. The registration of my college getting closer and heck no, I haven't prepared as much. I really need to revive myself after 6 MONTH of holidays. So when? I'll never be prepared unless the college's start. Enough said! ( I wonder when will I enjoy this kind of holidays again)

I don't know if there's any Maahadian will be studying at the college and hopefully, I able to adapt the environment very soon after the admission. Most of friends already started attending lectures and tutorials; seems everybody's starting to "enjoy" a new phase of life. All the best for your future endeavour.

Gaza

1st post of June and I wonder what should I write.

Lets talk about recent news; Gaza. Gaza issue's not a new issue actually but it's been ages and yet, this issue still remains the same; not yet to be solved. People keep blogging about this recently especially after the Israel's attack of Gaza Aid Convoy. Not to mention, there 're demonstration all over the world about this.

Here's a picture I've copied from NST.

MOUNTING ANGER... About 3,000 demonstrators belonging to Indonesia's Islam-based Prosperous and Justice Party carry flags and wave placards reading "Israel the real terrorists" and "save our Palestine" march in Jakarta today to condemn Israel's deadly raid on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla in which nine activists were killed and scores wounded. International pressure mounted on Israel to conduct independent inquiry into the bloody raid when Israeli commandos clashed with international activists as they attempted to turn back the aid flotilla in line with Israel's blockade of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip. Photo by AFP.

The question is, where is the "humanity"? I know, this question will remain as an unsolved conundrum as ever. Thousand of innocent civilians 're killed and they became victims of the atrocious, barbarous and merciless Israeli acts. I'm very thankful to be a Malaysian and live here; in harmonious environment (ignore some racial and political matters)

Hopefully, Rachel Corrie will be able to complete its passage unimpeded and discharge its humanitarian cargo in Gaza. (RC 's expected to reach there this late evening or Saturday's morning)

Doa seorang saudara terhadap saudaranya di luar pengetahuan (saudara tersebut) adalah doa yang diperkenankan, di sisinya seorang malaikat yang diwakilkan. Setiap kali beliau mendoakan kebaikan untuk saudaranya malaikat yang diwakilkan itu akan berkata: “Amin dan bagimu juga seperti itu”.
(Hadith riwayat muslim daripada Abu Darda’)

Lets pray and solat hajat hajat for them. And not to forget; Qunut nazilah as well.

Till then :)
