A few minutes of bliss...before hell breaks loose!

My room consists of 3 people; me, Qba, n Shafwan.

But when it comes to studying time, usually in the room there will be me, john, n Qba.

From 8 onwards it is studying time.

I call it peace n tranquility time. Nothing but music on john's computer and the constant beep from Qba's phone...(not constant; frequent! no, always!)

That's peace n tranquility, to me of course.

We don't talk. We don't speak to each other. We don't communicate.

But

BUT

Only for the first 5-7 minutes!

After that hell breaks loose!

There will be singing, laughing, shouting due to mounting tension n the seldom sound of John playing PES (he's LOUD and unruly when playing that game...)

I don't mind.

This is why I decided to stay here.

I HATE peace n tranquility. I HATE quiet.

I can never sit quietly for more than 10 minutes. Studying is a stressful activity. I have to let off steam frequently or i'll blow up.

Boys in general have a short attention span.

We can't stand sitting n study for a few hours straight. We don't do that. We CAN NEVER do that.

This is how I study. This is how we study. This is how BOYS study.

That is a fact.

BOYS WILL BE BOYS, there's a huge gap of differences between us n the girls with our behaviour n attitude towards study.

If you're saying that's why the boys are left so far behind by the girls i have to disagree. We believe our youths should not be spent on studying only.

Unlike the girls who thinks their lives depend on their results, we boys think that experience is the most important thing. It doesn't mean we abandon studying completely, we just study CASUALLY. What's the point of stressing yourself when you can have fun at the same time?

Look, it's 110 am, have classes at 1030 am n i need to catch my precious 5 hours sleep. We'd love to sleep more than that, but our fear of lecturers deterred us from extending them. Besides, they made us do labor work by giving ridiculous amounts of assignments to complete in a short period of time.

I love sleeping.

Ciao.

Racial unity

Tadi pagi aku bangun lambat, pukul 8! Selalu aku pegi kelas pukul 730.
Aku x sedar alarm hp aku, mak aku plak ingat aku punye kelas pukul 1030!
Bangun2 tu terus mandi pastu blah x sarapan.
Gelabah punye pasal, sampai kt jejantas SS19, jam macam ape, aku pusing balik. haha!

Tetibe rasa lapar, ye la x sempat sarapan, pegi kedai mamak Fawwaz kt SS14. Mee Goreng mamak die sedap.
Kat sane terpikir plak pasal orang yang selalu kate Malaysia ni ade racial harmony.
Ade jugak yang kate racial disunity ataupun unfair treatment to minority (hal bumiputra semua tu)

Aku kate Malaysia ade racial harmony.
Buktinya?
Ade beberapa tempat yang patut dilawat untuk membuktikannya:
1-Kedai mamak - kita order benda sama, makan benda sama, minum benda sama, kadang2 duduk pun sama2. Terima kasih kat mamak!
2-Kedai gunting rambut - kat Subang Jaya, banyak kedai dipunyai orang india. Yang gunting rambut aku semua orang india. Barber favourite aku pon orang india! Kat kedai 2, melayu, cina, india, mat salleh pon ade lawat.
3-Sekolah Kebangsaaan - contoh terbaik la. Kat sane la kita dididik untuk berinteraksi sesama kaum berlainan jenis. Belajar bersama2, main bersama2, gelak bersama2; semua bersama2! Aku ada banyak kawan bukan melayu. Diorang jugak antara faktor utama aku ace English. Thanks pals!

Mungkin ada lagi tempat yang x disebut tetapi memainkan peranan yang sama. Kalau korang ada tempat yang aku x sebut, sila2 lah beritahu.
Lain tempat, lain demografi penduduk dia kan?
Kira x semua dapat merasai bergaul dengan pelbagai kaum seperti aku. Alhamdulillah aku membesar di Subang Jaya di mana Melayu adalah kaum minoriti! Membuat aku berasa patriotik pulak.

Bersatu kita teguh, bercerai kita roboh.
Malaysia Boleyyyyy!

ps - tahniah kepada Erin sbb dapat masuk ASWARA. Akhirnya aku ade kawan penari! Ada gaya!

She killed me. With her words...

Words hurt. Truth are painful.
You combine those two, you get a killer combination.
I'll give you an example:

Me :Puan, saye kene masuk 3 kelas berbeza sebab ade pertembungan jadual.
PnShuk :Ok, biar saye tengok. X boleh. Kamu ambil 8? PSA? Kamu CGPA berape?
Me :2.54
PnShuk :kamu kena amik teras 6 subjek teras je. x boleh 7. buang 1 subjek.


Shocked! Knees start to tremble. Why? I want to take 8!

Me :tapi kredit saye cukup.
PnShuk :kalau pandai sangat xpe! ambik 7 je. improve your cgpa.

"kalau pandai sangat xpe!" a smack in the face doesn't hurt this much. damn. Words that hurt. It is also the truth.

that's the death kneel for me. 2nd blow after rejecting my 8 subject application.

"Class A,B and C are those who failed FAR400" What?! 'We' are grouped now, eh?
"Stupid people to the left. Bright students to my right please." (imaginary dialogue)
That's a kick on the shin. (that's the most painful. Trust me)

If its Pn Roszila, she would consider my application. She knew me better. She's the one who granted my application to take 9 (yes! 9!) subjects in my final Diploma year. I repaid her faith by not failing any paper at all! 2 killer subjects, passed!

Seems can't blame Pn Shukriah though. She knows nought about me. She is also right. damn...

I don't know why i'm so weak in FAR. Failed TWICE.
I don't know why i'm so weak in my studies either!

Was an excellent student in Secondary School, before I went to MRSM.
That's when it went downhill perhaps.
Culture shock. Fast pace. Surrounded by excellent individuals. Just too much for me.

Now i've lost my faith in accountancy. Can I be an accountant? With results like this?
What would the interviewer think? "wow! C's and F's. Will be an excellent employee!"

Get my Degree, done. Join me fly a plane, anyone?

Nak ke baca pengalaman umrah pertama aku?

Baiklah.
Korang xnak pon aku nak tulis gak. Saje. Hehe
Aku pegi ngan mak aku je. 2 orang.
Bertolak 11/6. Berapa hari? 14 rasenye.
Haha! Tu la pasal. Da lambat2 camni baru nk cerita balik. Lupe la.
Kami berdua ikut rombongan Zahafiz. Ibu pejabat die kt Shah Alam. Femes jugak la.
Ahli rombongan tu penuh ngan lecturer dan pelajar UiTM, di antaranya keluarga En Juhari; lecturer QMT yang tercinta! (haha!)
Kami naik kapalterbang Boeing 777 (1st time gak!) milik MAS.
Bertolak malam, sampai di Jeddah pon malam. 8 jam.
Sampai di Jeddah, naik bas pula ke Madinah al-Munawwarah. 6 jam dalam bas. haha!

Madinah?
Alhamdulillah! Cantik! Bandar tersusun dan terjaga.
Hotel pon agak mewah. 3 bintang rasenya.
Subuh dapat sembahyang kt Masjid Nabawi besok paginya.
Masjid Nabawi dekat aje. Kat belakang hotel. haha!
Masjid Nabawi?
Ya Allah! Cantik x ingat! Dalam sejuk! Fully air-conditioned! Carpet! (mestila, ye x?)
Bersih!
Sedap betul sembahyang kat situ.
Pastu waktu Zuhur, Ustaz kami bawak lelaki lawat makam Nabi Muhammad kt dalam.
Kat sebelah makam, Taman Syurga! iaitu Raudhah!
Sempat la jugak ak sembahyang hajat kt situ.
Tempat mujarab doa.
Alhamdulillah. Korang di dalam ingatan dalam hajat tu...
MasyaAllah, bukan senang nak sembahyang situ! Sesak!
Pandai2 je aku mencelah. Tunggu giliran. Ustaz tolong banyak sekali.
Raudhah ni kalau x silap aku laluan Nabi nak ke Masjid dari rumah setiap hari.
Kat situ la ade Mimbar Nabi, Mihrab Nabi.
Masa sembahyang hajat tu, posisi aku seperti berikut:
Kiri - makam Nabi
Belakang - tiang taubat
Depan - Mimbar Nabi (x silap la. sori)
Alhamdulillah...

Kat Madinah;
Lawat masjid pertama dibina, Masjid Quba'.
Pastu Jabal Uhud (tempat perang Uhud)
Maqam Syuhada (syahid perang Uhud, ada juga kubur Saidina Hamzah)
Masjid Qiblatain ataupun Masjid Dua Qiblat. Tempat Nabi disuruh tukar qiblat dari Masjid Ansar ke Kaabah masa sembahyang.
3 hari 2 malam je kat Madinah.

Pergi Mekah al Mukarramah.
Lepas Zuhur kt masjid, aku mula berpakaian ihram dan kami bertolak ke Mekah.
Berniat ihram/umrah di Bir Ali.
Perjalanan 6 jam.
Sampai lepas waktu Isyak.
Lepas bersihkan diri (masih dlm ihram), ustaz bawa kami umrah.
1st time, mmg gelabah takut buat silap!
Ya Allah, ramainya makhluk Allah beribadat sekali!
1st time nampak Kaabah. (Alhamdulillah. Ingat 'x nampak'!)
Tawaf 7 kali, Sai'e 7 kali, balik hotel!
Penat tuh!

Umrah
Aku dpt umrah 6 kali, mak aku 7 (jgn tye knape. heheh!)
Tawaf sunat dpt la 2 kali kot.
1st time tu p ikut ustaz, kali yg len bwat sendiri.
Nk p Miqat tu slalu plan awal2. Geng sape nk p skali.
Sebab p slalu nek van, klu cukup 12 org dpt la 5 Riyal sorg (RM1=1.08 Riyal)
Miqat slalu kt Tana'im sbb plg dekat.
Kt sane, 1 bde je driver paham; "Haram!" (maksudnya Masjidil Haram la)
Time umrah, Alhamdulillah dpt sembahyang kt Hijir Ismail (mujarab doa), belakang makam Nabi Ibrahim, cium Kaabah (Hajarul Aswad x dpt, ramai sgt)
Org Malaysia dilyn mcm VIP, guard arab kaabah suka jemaah kite sbb x amal bidaah (raba2 kiswah, cium makam, lap baju kt makam/kaabah/hajarul aswad)
Jdk senang aje klu nk p tgk Makam Ibrahim, dpt pusing 3/4 kali nk tgk puas2. Klu ngr len kene halau dah! x kasik dekat pon!

Selain drpd umrah ngan ibadat sunat, byk jugak aktiviti ktorg ikut serta.
Pegi ladang kurma (penuh 1 kotak produk kurma mak aku beli! berat!)
Ladang unta (susu die sedap, kulit unta kasar...sbb kuar dari batu kn??)
Muzdalifah, Mina, Arafah...byk khemah tetap. Ustaz kate 'berpenghuni' sbb lame sgt tggl kosong!
P Jeddah; lawat Masjid Terapung, Masjid Qisas (tempat laksana hukum Qisas; seram woo!), pasar2 die, kubur Hawa...
Jeddah ni bandar artistik, byk arca. Byk filipino gak (org gaji pak arab)

So, ape bde yg menarik perhatian aku kt sane??
1-driver arab bwk kete mcm x p klas memandu! Gle woo bwk! seram jdk penumpang! x pki signal pon, pki hooooooooooooooon je!
2-Madinah bersih n lawa, Mekah berhabuk n kotor
3-Org Madinah manis n lemah lembut. Org Mekah kasar.
4-Perempuan arab cantik. (aku x nampak sbb pki purdah, mak ak ckp...)
5-xde peniaga/driver/pekerja perempuan. Isk3...
6-peniaga sana tau ckp Melayu/indon. Nombor smp 10 je la...
7-diorg x tau jage kete. mentang2 murah...byk kemek2.
8-kereta plg fofuler, Toyota. pastu Chevy, GMC, Honda. xde pon Wira...heh.
9-Mekah sgt panas! max 49C!
10-jemaah Iraq, Iran bwat kaabah mcm sdiri pye. sukati je nk langgar/halang org...
11-Pas sembahyang xde doa pas sembahyang. tgu solat jenazah.

Hmm...
