Had been having some clashes with the services here. There was the problem of registering my DG number. I did three times of registration and till the “tenat” moments, my number was still unregistered and they kept sms-ing me and urging me to register! Your HEAD ah!!! If dg has a head! How can my three registrations was not approved?? First was quite some time ago, a long time ago, I remembered registering with Za at Midvalley. And being unregistered, during last semester’s exam week, my roomie registered for me at the post office, STILL NOT registered, and finally last thursday night, I tried to register online at the last minute,submitted the form and immediately received a message from dg that my form was accepted and to go to any dg dealers for comfirmation. The next day I went, on my way to Pudu, to the booth at the Putra Gombak terminal, and what a bitchy service I received!! The two women kept saying they don’t know if it’s registered or not, I bet they don’t even understand the English sms!! I could accepted they no-nothing-about-anything if it’s conveyed in a polite manner. They have this rude air between them. I left.

Called the customer service. I don’t know why the tooottt do they have to repeat those ‘press 1 for blablabla press2 for blablabla’ twice. The exact same message twice!!! It seems to go on for minutes!! Got a lady operator, good, she speaks English but still have this rude air, like look-i-know-what i’m doing- and you’re not!! She said since I don’t remember the exact time, date and day of my past registrations, she couldn’t help me. WHAT THE!!! It’s your UNEFFICIENT services, for God’s sake.How can not even ONE of my THREE registrations did not reach those ‘holy’ bureaucratic authority!!!! and you’re blaming for my insufficient info. It was a LONG TIME AGO, damn it. That I have to wait for five working days to confirm my registration, and if it’s still not registered, I have to do some other procedures. With the tone she’s using on me, I felt like throwing my phone hard!! And it so happens, the ever worse network, the line got cut off. And this customer service don’t even try to call me back. So I tried again, got disconnected again, and tried a third time, a male operator answered and he gave a much better service!! POLITE and HELPFUL!! He registered me immediately without any of those 5-working-days thingy, and that I only need to confirm my passport at any of the dg dealers, any time. HOW EASY can that be!! See when you work with a good heart, you’ll get good customers, BAD SERVICE= BAD CUSTOMERS.

And another thing, there’s the bus-driver this morning, who have the ‘good’ heart of letting us down at PUDU, instead of IIUM as usual! And taxi drivers who’s trying to ‘rob’ us poor students early in the morning, and the wasted time waiting for the bus which took a very long time to get started!! They just like to waste time and take things for granted and so the lemau.

These make me more appreciative of SINGAPORE. My good old island!

Despite the high expectations from classes and the work done to strive for satisfaction, there is always some goodness that happens, especially when it’s done with my girls, they don’t fail to bring smiles. Shoutouts to Aili, Shasha, Qzai and Syah Spec…not forgetting Far and Yaya and Liana…..for the most coolest -done in 2 1/3 days-perfectly shot- best soundtrack ever video we did so far!!! I truly enjoyed making the movie, it was a symbol of friendship and hardwork, commitment and creativity at its best. Ok I’m exaggerating, but yeah, I truly am proud of our work, and it’s more sweet when friends came up to us and congratulated us on the spectacular performance, that they enjoy watching it many times……*sigh* it’s euphoric. Even I can’t get enough of watching it several times. I LOVE IT!!! Can’t wait to let my family watch it!! It was worth the hard work. Congratulations girls!!! Upcoming movie on the way!!!

And life comes back to normality for the moment.

In this gift of life unabated
Shall I be in waiting for
The only one who will hold my hand
The only one for unbroken heart
The only one who shares this path
The only one who prays for eternity
Unencumbered words flowering
Shade me and don’t let me fade
For I’m in waiting for my Only One

it’s only been one week and I’m really exhausted. Apart from waking up early for the morning classes which start at 8, five times a week, soon to be 6 days a week when skills started, the readings have started to pile up already and have two meetings with Assiium and mrc for upcoming programmes. And already worrying about my grades because of killer lecturers, still assured by my fortunate ability to speak and write well in English and that it’s the hard work that counts. So Help me LORD, I have around 15 more weeks to go and I have to strive hard if I am to get any As at all. Help me LORD.

Went out with the girls yesterday to watch Cinta. It was a nice movie, one of the quality ones, nice, funny and teary all in one. One minute we’re crying, and the next we’re laughing, a good combination of different stories in one.I can say there are not much script in the movie, emphasizing on expressions and the actors/actresses manage to show their emotions through their faces and excellent soundtrack.You’ll see all kinds of love in Cinta. Though one missing to me, an adult’s love towards parents, there is a little’s girl love to her divorced parents, and grandson’s love to his alzheimer grandfather, an elder sister towards her younger brother, but yes, no portrayal of a grown person loving his/her old parents.

Nevertheless, am most touched by the love a husband has towards his wife, though betrayed by her and the love of a sacrifying sister for her sick brother. Very good. I can say it’s not RM11 wasted.

so what about my love story? Am still waiting for the Only One.
It’s a dear scary thought.

or rather the third hello…why?? Because I’ve went back to my room, change into my usual garb of pants and kurta, amazed that the change brings a whole new perspective to life(exaggeration noted)and was happily blogging at the same nice Apple PC, when puhff!! BLACKOUT!!! is there anything left to say??
..To IIU with love…. YOUR HEAD ah!!

Is there a conspiracy somehow today? Am I banned from blogging or what? (paranoia noted)

Third day of skool and getting a headache already as I’ve just realised that there’s a tremendous amount of READING needs to be done this semester if I were to get any A-s!! And I am already preparing myself for the worst. Seriously, I have eccentric lecturers who are exceptional geniuses and expect more from us with a rigid approval of GOOD PROPER ENGLISH. I’m feeling like an English failure already. But life has to go on and LORD, please help me to endure this semester and let me do my very best. Please.

And hopefully this post works.

And do testimonials in friendster matters?? I mean I’ve been reading two persons’ testimonials, and these two persons do have an impact on me and my unmended broken heart and the testimonials they receive are disturbing!!! Do I have to be sensitive to those testimonials?? To the number of GIRLS they have as friends? To the number of GIRLS WHO SEND testimonials to them?? To the number of TESTIMONIALS SENT BY GIRLS? (redundancy?? noted) Does it really matter? Especially when they stated themselves, to know them better – read the testimonials…. Do I have to be thinking about these? LORD, what a bother.

Fret not, if you have been reading the post this far, it must be pretty obvious that I might NOT HAVE ANY TIME to be thinking about any testimonials or people, with the readings that awaits my pretty eyes and fragile heart, and the forever-too-much-thinking mind. So all’s well, I’m happy.~

It’s a fine day today and am finished for the day, at 9 am!! Have an hour class today which starts at 8 just now and suprisingly unsleepy despite staying up till late yesternight. And am wearing a skirt and shirt and I DO NOT feel comfortable at all and more than willing to return back to my room and change to something else, more willing than ever to wear jeans even if I might get compounded for that. In fact I’m doing it right after this! Am going back to change, even though I have a couple of things to do, like looking for some VERY important books in the library and I fear that some other people will get hold of them first but my discomfort annoys me more and it cannot wait!! It desperately cannot wait. And even though I will be letting go of this nice Apple PC and having some ideas for my blogs, but no. I’m leaving right now.

i’ll be what i’ve designed i’ll be

misunderstood but perfectly clear

a fantasy yet so real

the circle of beauty in flaws

shade me and don’t let me fade

i’ll tread on the withered paths

for a place in this gift of life

The first day of school and same old same old, I am feeling hyped for the new semester. Meeting other Singaporean friends and seeing other people who have always brought smiles in me upon meeting them. Grateful to them for the colours they brought to my life. Classes haven’t really started yet, it’s the first week, nothing to rush yet.

Pray for another good semester and many happy memories!

What a life. But before I start on anything else, I have to point out that IIUM virtual world has blocked BLOGGER. What the!!!! Seriously, I went back to IIU for the Taaruf as my mahallah was the host, and one of the days, I got the chance to spend some time at the ITD, I wrote a rather long post and be greeted with “the page cannot be opened”..or something like that. WHAT THE!!! I cannot live without blog. It’s my own personal space, my right to be able to express my thoughts. IIU is violating my rights!!!

So I’m in Singapore now, and have a few minutes more in Netforce, so let’s be brief.

1/RESULTS

Alhamdulillah, amidst the busi-ness, with unisports and ummatic week and having presentations back to back and 6 assignments completed, big thanks to my roomie Anna for lending me her laptop two nights in a row, yeah not sleeping those two nights to complete two assignments…along with dealing with some stupid person disorder and difficult people. Berkat Syawal… I was born in the month of Syawal…so yeah berkat Syawal…I’m really grateful and still can’t quite believe my results. ALHAMDULILLAH is all I can say. My parents were happy, in fact me and my siblings have been doing very well indeed this year. Khidhir passed his PSLE and managed to go to Normal academic, Nuri has been in the top 5 in her class, Siti has academic improvements, have yet to know her n levels result. A dream came true at last, for me. THANK LORD.

2/To and fro to IIU during this break. Dah macam pergi geylang!! MRC has to help the office during the first day of Ta’aruf week welcoming the new students to Halimah, and I have to say we were really needed and the taaruf committee should be grateful with us for helping them. Heck we did more than them. PIty the taaruf committee for the miscommunications they had among themselves. And grateful to the mrcs who actually sacrificed their break coming back to IIU a week earlier than the rest. And we bonded more than ever now. Love them.

3/New semester officially starts on this monday. Missed the girls already though I’ve met Aisyah spec and shasha at the appreciation night last night, looking forward to meeting qzai and aili! And we have to start bonding with the new girls before any clique begins, especially by some particular girl.. what’s her problem??
And yeah rather eager to start learning. going to be my last long semester there. A bit more patience.

4/Matters of the heart never ends. I have been thinking about a childhood friend lately, my mother actually approving this friend. At the same time, hoping to something uncertain and always have been clouded with questions unanswered, and hoping still.

hate me today hate me tomorrow hate me for all the things I didn’t do for you
