Again, collective events and added to my blog only after a few days later~
Well…this happens last 2 saturdays…10th december, i guess? I can’t remember the date even! I followed the girls to Times Square with the initial plan of watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I was excited about it, getting to watch that movie at last!! So we went and what do we know, but met another singaporean group, all guys and a girl (ours were all girls and a guy) already in queue to buy the tickets. Looking at the tv screen for the movies of the day…jeng3, Harry Potter’s next screening was at 10 pm!!! and we’re already there at 2!!
The alternative was to see The Chronicles of Narnia.~ at 6. 3 more hours to go!
No matter, we prayed Zohr and had lunch and the most unexpected thing to do! There was this compartment small rooms for Karaoke-ing called Q-box. I never know it exist. And the girls were excited to try, there are 6 of us in a room fit for four, but who cares! We tried 3 songs =RM3 – A malay ska song (can’t remember the title), Peter pan’s song!!! -Mungkin nanti (gee we couldn’t sing that deep voiced song but..who cares!) and the best of all, Cranberries’ Zombie!! (too bad no Cranberries in the vid, rather some greenery documentary-like vid showing lakes and nothings, SpoILer!) We had tremendous fun just letting out, and it’s all only us girls.

When all songs done, we went out, and looking at the next room, a irony ‘picture’! A guy having his hand over his girl’s shoulder and singing to, oh my god, an Islamic nasyid song!! I mean, what was that all about??

Then we saw a capoeira performance, and as usual, we were quite loud applausing the performances and sang along to the capoeira song. It was for the global peace forum.

And at last the much anticipated movie event of the day!! We watched Narnia and guess what, we got the second row from the front!!! We now know that cinemas in KL have their seating rows arranged with the A seats at the very back. Unlike in Singapore, we have the A rows at the front!! I personally felt cheated, because…NOW I KNOW~ But Narnia did not disappoint us! It was a cool movie, the fantasy movie with the likes of lord of the rings, so I love it!!!

It’s a great day after all, for a start of the semester, well, we had fun while we still can, the later days of the semester will be very busy and oh yeah, financially disabled.

Thank you girls for the sweet memorable day.
Shoutouts to : Shasha, K. Dewi, Aisyah Spec, Aili, Ilham and Za and not forgetting darwis, for the willingness to go with the girls —>yeah2, that’s for shasha ; )

The problem with not having an internet connection back home is the not updating my blog when there’s alot of things happening in my life…and i ended up having to wait for some fine day to go to Netforcegames and spent around 2hours and paid $4 for that and not able to add anything in my blog because i spent the hours playing online games with brother or with whoever’s willing to join my need for speed races.

And now that I’m back in IIUM, still with my blog un-updated on the happenings during the semester break, like the jalan raya with the girls, welcoming the new studs @students, watching the movies and meeting dyan and mahir. But no matter…there’ll be some day that I can add something on these…because the start of the semester, only the first week, and my schedule’s full with meetings. ASSIIUM’s prog next wednesday – need to do the minute meetings and some leaflets that i have to design. MRC’s big event, the inter mahallah cultural week, and my mahallah is in charge of the sub-programme which is the inter-cultural performance. And oh yeah we had a meeting at 9 am, for God’s sake!!

The most important things that needed to be highlighted is my last semester’s final exams. The fact that I actually delayed myself in checking out the results because I had no net connection and honestly scared and nervous to check them out, you know, because i spent more time with programmes and suchs. So first thing I did on Monday, after adjusting my time-table was to check out my results. I was squeezing my eyes shut while the page was loading and when I opened my eyes, I had the biggest shock!! I actually did very well in my exams! It was really unexpected, seriously. Managed to get an A, 3 A-s and the rest are B/ B+ / B-. It was good enough for me, considering I was expecting to see not a single A in my result slip. 3 A-s is a bonus. I managed to prove to myself that I can still get good grades even though I was busy with so many other things to do, that I had not slackened in my studies. NOT AT ALL. Take that, to those people who found excuses in their studies and tests and assignments for not helping out or not joining the progs that some of the singaporeans committed so heart -and- soully. OK, I’m being too emotional about this. Enough said. Alhamdulillah, I am happy and truly satisfied with the grades. Especially with Social Change and Comparative subjects. Truly happy with them. Thank you Lord.

Listening to Finch- Letters to you. Gee, miss them so much!! Wonder when’s the next album? What have the days been like?? A lot of things. For one, have been going out with the girls, jalan raya! Best ah, thank god for Kak Mizah and her van. She’s been driving us around.

-to be continued

It’s already the 9th day of Syawal. And I just got this opportunity to go online. Been busy yes and at the same time, no online connection at home, TOO BAD. I can’t live without the net!!

A recap of what had happened in my life for the past week…Went back home on the 1st of November. My last paper on that day – Creative Thinking and surprisingly easy, Alhamdulillah. I actually finished it earlier and went out 30 minutes before the exam ends.. One of the papers that I hoped I get good grades for. So a day before Raya I reached home and I was hyped to go to Geylang Bazaar, but disappointed because my mother was working…and instant no go. Bazaar’s last year at geylang but hmmm, heck.

And first day of raya, had a surprise visit from PETER PAN!!!! Haha yeah right!! Nnaahh, actually we have new neighbours next door, 4 Indonesian guys who will be studying- working here for 6 months. They’re on attachment or something. Young and cute, reminds me of Indo actors. Seriously! And what’s almost embarassing was when i came out from my room and immediately mother introduced me, and all 3 pairs of eyes on me…I mean wwoohhh.(3 out of 4 of the guys came) and one of them was like actually giving this some kind of a look and keep asking questions about me. Flattered? yeah of course!! He’s cute. Hah, our own Peter pan next door~

You are New Found Glory!

You are a really good person and you have really good friends.You are a shy person, so why not get out there more often! Show people your stuff!

My first paper…in English. Two previous papers were in Arab and I did not put high hopes on either and today’s Social Change and Development paper, in the language that I feel I can express better but still…I’m kind of disappointed with myself. Wallahua’lam how I answered the questions and I think I’m just babbling nothing on the paper. I’m hoping for the generosity of the lecturer. I don’t know what is happening to my academic progress this semester. Had been too busy with IRKHS Soc and MRC and ASSIIUM, too busy with those. I’m beginning to resent ever being associated with these. Then again, I love my progs. It’s just that it’s affecting my studies worst than I had expected. 4 more papers to go, and life have to move on since I can’t turn back time to the start of the semester. Hope for a better one next semester.

I just had my first final exam paper – Usuludddin 1 and I think I sucked and what’s making it worst was the questions were damn easy and I know I could have done better if only I have better vocabulary and more time reading the notes. I guess I did what I afford to do within this damn chaotic semester. Seriously I could have done better, but God knows what the results will be. I’m praying for the best, for what I deserve to get, for balancing the programmes and knowledge for Allah. Wallahu a’lam.

Please God, I will do better for the rest of my papers. No hope for A’s but there’s still plenty for A-‘s.

It’s ramadhan already! I actually can’t wait to start fasting… don’t ask me why. But one thing that quite saddened me was that I might have to fast the whole month away from family and I won’t have the chance to break fast with my family and no baking cookies and no shopping at Bazaar Geylang(which happened that this year will be the last of bazaar geylang, no more next year!!) and no terawih at en-naeem / istiqamah mosque!! And oh yeah, no bubur masjid!!! So many things that I’ll be missing…. It’s a sacrifice I guess, hehe…the ‘sweetness’ of studying ‘overseas.’
But heck I think I’ll just go back home next weekend. I know there’s a LOT of catching up to do and some unfinished business, but, Yeah I will still GO BACK.

Ahlan wa sahlan Ramadhan!!!
