mkderwish…

Just got a call from IDP Australia.

Alhamdulillah I’ve got full offer from the Uni of Melbourne.

InsyaAllah, I will go to KL this wednesday, to settle a couple of things with the ministry and also IDP…

Then, BTN (Biro Tata Negara) this 9th December till 13th Dec…

Holiday is great …

I will put mostly photos in this entry. Suddenly I thought maybe I don’t actually need a blog. I need something more like fotopages, or flickr or something like that. Because I just like posting photos. Haha. Anyway, will think about that later. Graduation Night’s story, first.

The event went well I guess. But from the eyes of the organizer, I, of course saw many many flaws. Rase malas pulak nak story about the night. Nak put photos ajer… heh…

-all pics removed Dec 1st-

Gambar yang tidak jelas ini ialah semua 36 graduating students with VIP and 2 kepale orang… huhu. This is after the cert giving ceremony. Tak jelas la… anyone has better quality photos of this??? naaaak

My family, n macam biasela, without hasanah..

Ni mase presentation, nyanyi kenangan terindah jer… meh kat blakang.. naseb baik! malu seh

Ok, pic dari atas, clockwise.. me wif esther, tak nampak pulak me pegang sweater PPOU (yg saye suke sangat!).. then the next pic, some of us.. then bwh tu, me dgn the one and only Mr Joe! (hehe, seriously gonna miss his class.. wuhu..).. then, me and syida.. hehe.. jejak kasih ka?…then bwh tuh, meh n azu.. (azu, gamba ni je kite sesame! dlm my cam la.. ade gamba lain? naaak!) and atas sket…Me, and 2 of my housemates and dvdkorea-mate.. huhu.

Oh, PPOU life has ended…. seriously surreal…

um, my blogging mood hasnt arrived yet actually….

I guess this will be the last post written and published from my humble room in uniten. Starting tomorrow, because the uniten students have started their semester break already, the internet connection in our apartment will be terminated. Yes, this is a very sad news indeed. Because we all will only be leaving on next Friday. Imagine, a week, with nothing particular to do, no classes whatsoever, without internet connection! I’m going to die of boredom.

We all have prepared lots of ‘bekal’ though. Loads and loads of dramas and movies. But then again, I’ll be bored in no time, too. I cannot live with just watching dramas…. muak, dan muntah… overloaded with plots and twists and mysteries konon-konon. Oh no… I sound like a person who doesn’t have anything better to do. Mai! there are lots and lots of educational and tarbiyah books that you have yet to finished! A week left, you need to go and meet all the kakak-kakak and makcik-makcik who have done many-many things for you here… say thank you… buy appreciation gifts or something…. but how, aa? I.Dun.Have.A.Car.And.I.Am.Such.A.Pokai…. we’ll figure out something!

Suddenly, a week left.

If any of you notice, in this blog, I have written ‘a year to go’ , ‘6 months left’ , ‘4 months left’ and so on… and now, so suddenly it’s a week! Seriously, HOW TIME FLIES… am I gonna miss uniten? maybe… but I don’t want to re-live it. Give me a million dollar even .. (eh, a million dollar? I’ll reconsider… haha .. materialistic meh).

Hmm, think again. How time flies. Kiamat sudah dekat. Tapi kenapa ramai masih tak bertobat. Pardon me, I don’t remember the lyrics because I only watched one episode of it but at least I get it rhymed (kiamat sudah dekat the series opening theme)… oh, I don’t watch tv anymore nowadays, which is a good thing, I hope. I have the internet, and I don’t think I miss anything. Or did I?? So far I don’t sound like a total oblivious girl from, uh, some hidden cave or something, kan… but the sad part is, I won’t have the internet anymore… Oh, I cannot wait to go back home and enjoy the fast broadband. It better behaves when I’m home!

When I browsed through the online newspaper, I wondered where did all the important news gone to? (I only scanned through the headlines though, because I think the headlines supposed to be the most important la kan?). Read the ‘Dunia’ part.. the top highlight is “Pondan lebih berjaya kutip cukai…” .. I was like, “oh….., so dunia, indeed……” and under that is a smaller headlines “150,000 warga Iraq mati semenjak penaklukan…”

I think, half of this world (maybe more) has mis-prioritized their priority in life… but maybe that’s just the media.. you know, a way of catching people’s attention. But this is the nation newspaper and it reflects the nation’s mindset, too, right?? Suddenly I feel ashamed. What happened to our people….. pathetic.
and people are bored of talking about this already, you know… this particular problem with our people nih, seems like an unsolved mystery….over-discussed pon… with no specific and practical solution….balik-balik, it all comes to moneeeey….

Ntahla…

Hmm, today I watched some interesting clips at YouTube. Oh, yes, YouTube. Watching youtube here in uniten was impossible…because the very slow connection speed. But now that only us PPOU students left today (most of students went back yesterday), so the internet speed is superb. But sadly, only for today… (Mr computer centre,can we have it just for another day?? tomorrow je….pls?….)

Honestly, there are full of creative people out there…. I envy them.

…..

I guess, I’ll be going to the University of Melbourne.

but UNSW sounds intriguing. UWA is nearer to Malaysia (can go back more often since the air ticket is cheaper.. the thing is, I miss my family already, but I’m still here.. waaa).

this 2 Unis that I won’t reconsider -> UQ, sounds too hot and far far away.. (haha).. Monash, too many people already.

…..

I want to write more in this last entry. But somehow I’m feeling too tired already. Huhu..

Maybe I’ll continue at home.. or maybe if I’m in the mood, at the library… haha very unlikely..

till then, bye everyone…SAYONARA my room …and I’m sorry for everything I’ve done that might hurt you all…

dunno when I’ll be able to update again…

Frankly, I was not sad neither excited (happy) about my result. I was like “okay…” when I received the slip. But I didn’t know how to react. From my past experiences, I am quite certain now that I have some problems when it comes to reacting.

All in all, Alhamdulillah. Thank You Allah.

Personally I think I don’t deserve this kind of result, but I want it. And I want it better. Sounds like such an ungrateful brat. Tak reti bersyukur. But, I’m mere human…. dan bukankah semua manusia mahukan yang terbaik?

But of course. Like what I’ve written in a post before, with this never-changing-attitude of mine, keep on dreaminglah to get a perfect score…

Well, at least I got A in physics and that’s the most important thing right now. To show that I’m in the right major.

There are some problems regarding our CGPA. It was calculated wrongly. All of ours. Somehow the administration people ignored our 1st semester GPA. Only took into account 2nd & 3rd sem. So, right now, my cgpa is not yet finalised.

But anyhow, to anyone who is so eager to know, I can only say that I’m doing all right. It seems a bit weird to announce my GPA here, kan? huhu. Nak tau jugak, approach me personally… I’ll most probably tell.

Oh, I need to get some sleep now… I sound like a retard… writing in short2 sentences…..

Honestly, nothing much to update.

CGPA will be out tomorrow. (Oh,I’m so scared)…

Grad nite preparation is gearing up. Some problems occur. Stupid situations… gaduh-gaduh.. haha..but everything can settle, I know. People are getting nervous now that the night is getting nearer.

My program book will be printed this thursday, InsyaAllah. Stamping the cover, over-budget!

Too free, feeling guilty :p

Where’d you go..
I miss you so..
Seems like it’s been forever
Since you’ve been gone

Sebenarnye, hati macam dah tawar nak pi Uni of Melbourne… I’m not sure why.
Right now I don’t know which uni I’ll choose… Melb/Monash/UNSW/UWA/UQ …
Dilemma.. huhu

Rase macam dah malas dah nak fly… dok UTM je la, amek degree lain.. or cikai2 pon kat MPTI jela.. huhu… dekat ngan umah, n i wont miss anything..

Ni tgh demotivated actually.. yela, GPA keluar esok. And I heard semua nya not so good….

PPOU 05/06 Graduating Class
Ministry of Education Scholars

By the way, ‘A Touch of Greatness’ is the motto for the graduation night.

(It’s 12.20 am… our coordinator wants to see the ‘dummy’ program book tomorrow. It’s still not finish… a long way to go.. bye bye sleep for tonight… waaaa)

Raya holiday has passed. Today, wednesday, is 3 days after classes supposedly commencing again. But I reached uni on Monday night. Some of my friends, yesterday. And some, even today. How convenient! Well, after all, there’s no more formal classes. The graduation night is getting nearer and nearer; that is less than 3 weeks! and my program book is still progressing slowly…

Suddenly (right this very instant), I feel nervous. Lots to do! yet so little time.

Anyway, actually I have such an eventful day today. Very very eventful indeed.

I woke up at 5.15 am. I didn’t know what woke me up (probably the coldness) exactly but I realized then that my handphone battery has drained. The bad news is, I forgot to bring my charger back here. The good news, alhamdulillah I woke up at that time. If not, I think I would’ve slept until12 pm. Because you see, my alarm clock is my handphone. And also my watch, and also my organizer, and also handy calculator….etc2. I thought I would’ve a hard time waking up because I turned in to bed quite late the night before.

So, I didn’t go back to sleep after that because I was afraid of not waking up at all; we had to go out at 6:45 am to do our passports. So, I showered… organized my files… do someother things etc2…

We went out (all my housemates) at 6:45 am and waited the bus… took the bus.. reached Kajang Imigration Office at around 7.15 am. Then, we queued up until 9 am (when the office hour started). The line was quite long when it was only 7.15 am! (and by 9 am, the floor was so full of people). Then after the gate was opened, we queued up for about another 45 minutes, just to find that the immigration officer didn’t want to accept our photocopied letter of discount (50%) of the fees. We argued, negotiated and decided one person should go and certify our letters as the true copies of the original letter.

But in the mean time, our forms and all photocopied stuff (birth cert/ic/offer letter etc2) were collected one by one. And when my turn came, the officer saw my W Form (birth certificate for those born outside Malaysia) and said something like

“Awak balik malaysia naik apa?” I was like “Huh??”
and the officer said “Pakai laut ka?” and I was again “Huh????”
and then he said “Mestila pakai plane.. haa.. mana passport dulu?”
and I suddenly remembered my mum’s passport with all of us siblings under her’s.
I said “Tapi tu mak saye punye… saye ingat tak payah coz tu bukan saya punye.. kat sini tak suruh pulak bwk…… yada yada yada ”
Then the officer said “Tak boleh, tak boleh! awak ni pendatang haram ka? mana boleh takde passport tuh. Kene bawak. Mana tau awak ni orang palsu ka”
I tried to argue…. but I’m so not good at defending my points….
SO… I couldnt process my passport today…
SO… what a waste of time.. queueing up and withstand the pain at my knees and legs and feet…. for nothing!

But anyway, 2 friends of ours went to the Ministry and certify the letter. I decided to just wait and accompany all my friends there at the immigration. By the time they reached the Immigration Office, it was already 12 noon. Then, the officer decided to let all of our applications processed after lunch break… yes at 2 pm.

SO there was too much of free time. And it happened to be that the Immigration is situated in a shopping complex, that situated in the middle of the so-called Kajang town. And we went shopping, lah….

I bought a travel charger (a-must… I feel handicapped without my mobile), a tudung (to match with my baju kurung for graduation dinner.. haha), 2 brooches (one for casual wear, one for the grad night.. again, haha), a novel (Entitled: The Memory Keeper’s Daughter by Kim Edwards), a birthday and an appreciation cards, and some edible stuff for my survival here… hehe (like tuna, bread, corn flakes, milks in carton, and panadol..haha).

I hate it when I spent too much money……

Guess what time the bus came to bring us ‘home’? 5.55 pm….

I hate it when I spent too much of time, wasting it!! Half-day, man….

So I have to go back to JB, pick my mom’s passport at home (dunno if it still exist. If not, have to make ’surat sumpah’ la.. lecehnye). I guess I’ll only do the passport in JB.

I was thinking of just stay at Uni until graduation night because going back home, and back here again is a painful process for me.. hahaha.. But I have to go back because of this matter… (maybe I can just my mom to post the passport here… but, quite risky la… tak tau la… still thinking, actually).

Hmm… I am so tired. What a tiring day! Yet, until right now (1.16 am) I’m still not asleep….

Hmm… what a day… I learned something (valuable) too… and have to accept that everything happens for a reason / reasons, right?

And this whole day was spent with friends. So it was a nice way of getting to know them better… eventhough only 4 weeks left for us to be together… because taaruf is an on-going process… we’ll never know our friends really really really, kan?? So, each second spent with a friend is a chance for us to know him/her more….

And most important lesson…. like my dad always says “Assobrun Jameel……”

Wallahua’lam…
