Up-close and Personal

Assalamualaikum

I'm currently stuck at Alin's cc because she's away for a holiday. But I need to get home tomorrow if I want to be in time for Dina's wedding.

Semalam yang super penat. Amek komuter ke Seremban at 9 something. Sampai Seremban jek breakfast roti telur dengan teh ais. Alone. Kat kedai depan Seremban Parade. Kadang-kadang tersenyum sendiri bila teringat kegilaan kitorang cuti winter lepas. Dek kerana takde parking nak breakfast kat situ, maen parking jek tengah dunia. And then makan laju-laju sebab tanak kne saman. Ehe. One more bite to finish, Moshitta called, saying dia dah sampai. Then kitorg ke Jusco, hantar iPod Akmar. Sorry to her I couldn't be long sebab Moshitta was just supposed to fetch me home (that is to say his home). Asam pedas ikan parang, daging masak ungkep and sayur goreng for lunch. And durian as dessert. Yes. I ate it. One ulas. No further comment.

After Zuhur, Moshitta, Pkah, Along and I went to MidValley. Spent quite sometimes running our hands along the rows of books lining the racks at the PMR section, searching for 1 book. I wondered why weren't the books arranged according to the subject? Why just randomly? Kan sangat susah nak manage kalau camtu. And there's no rack number. So even if the books showed up when you look up the inventory in the computer, you don't even know where to search for it. It might even be in the stores kan?

Then go to a bunch of other places as well. Dinner was at Burger King. You might think Moshitta and I would be sick with Burger King already considering it's the one fast food we eat most during the semester, but no. Not when we can order more than just fish burgers. After a bit more walking and buying, we go home boarding the train at 10+. Setakat ni paling lewat saya pernah balik waktu di Malaysia. Saya tak pernah balik lewat tau kalau kat Malaysia =p

I am extremely fond with my new handbag. A gift from Along. I said previously that I badly need a new one. This one is just the style I want and is veerryy spacious, which means lots of rooms for gadgets and small notebooks and my dear shaker and glasses and calculator. Weee~ Now I don't need to crammed everything into my black Accessorize's anymore. It's already worn out. And so the next gadget on my wishlist would be a new digicam plix plox. Because I now have rooms for more gadgets to carry around =p. Er tapi Kak Irin tanya saya tadi. Macam mana kalau satu beg tu hilang semua? Err.. ehehe~

Assalamualaikum

I just landed yesterday. Cathay Pacific is fabulous because of 2 reasons. It arrived at both destinations (Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur) well ahead of schedule and it has got fabulous food (esp the caramel pudding is awesome). But tell the captain if I want a roller coaster ride, I'll probably go to everland. Not boarding some aircraft. I had to struggle and breathe a huuuge amount of air in just so to stop the feeling of nausea.

Mekdi was having a tough time adjusting to the slow speed of the internet. She'll miss Korea terribly. I accidentally did something to her lens when we were waiting for Huda so I think I'll buy her a new one when we get back.

I mixed up time a lot today. Woke up extremely early because my Touchie showed 4 or 5 something in the morning. And after Subuh prayer and a bit of playing with Anini before she was sent off to the babysitter I slept more. Woke up. Glance at my Touchie. 10.45 a.m. I started bashing Kiki who was next to me sleeping and asked didn't she want to get up. It's nearly 11 and she's got class at 3. And turned out it was only 9.45. I clearly forgot to reset the clock.

The hot day makes me feel sleeeeeepy. After lunch of Subway's Chicken Teriyaki at Mines, I slept the whole way Alin was driving back. Not much to do today. Especially since no one is available to entertain me currently. Wonder when am I meeting Dina.

Assalamualaikum

1. Now come to think of it, I don't think Abeek is a bad idea after all. To a lot others it might be a waste of time and money, but to me it's an opportunity of learning. And learning is the only thing I at least am good at.

2. I was in the middle of screaming on top of my lungs silently to the song playing on my Touchie when it ran out of battery. Crap.

3. Today is laundry day. I threw away an old black tshirt I don't quite use anymore because I'm too lazy to wash it clean and I turned a whole batch of washing green when I mixed that dark green top I rarely wear with other clothes.

5. I'm listening to a song which I think is the perfect summer song of all time. 비행기 by 거북이.

Assalamualaikum

Er. Bukan malas update. Bukan sama sekali. Er tapi things just got a little too busy around here. Busy preparation nak balik.

Er well, tak pergi mana pun. Tapi hari hujan yang menyebabkan kadar kengantukan dan keletihan badan lebih tinggi dari biasa. Lagipun tak ada cerita best nak kongsi. Maka tak update.

Namdaemun. Destinasi paling tak best setiap kali prepare nak balik. Beli brooch sampai muak-muak. Sampai rasa nak muntah darah kalau dengar lagi perkataan brooch. Horror seh Namdaemun nih. Dulu-dulu selalu terfikir sapa la yang bina bangunan brooch kat Namdaemun tu. Memang menyeksakan jek.

Pagi pergi Namdaemun lagi. Ganti brooch yang tidak mencapai standard piawai. 불량 le tu. Balik ke Yongsan. Survey Wii. Sampai rumah letih gila.

Iaitu semalam. Result summer semester keluar. Alhamdulillah. Boleh la buat mengcover pointer mana-mana yang tak cukup. After Zuhur ke Myeongdong. Jalan-jalan sana sini. Belikan P-kah baju. Saya nak beli baju, tapi duit tak ada sudah. Haih~

Tahukah. Malam tadi ada satu berita horror. JPA and Board of Engineering decided kitorang wajib ambil ABEEK sebagai salah satu syarat graduate dari universiti-universiti di Korea. Read : Pihak JPA juga bersedia menanggung extension pelajar-pelajar dalam proses menamatkan pembelajaran melalui program ABEEK. Oh wah hebat. Baru jek 2-3 hari lepas berbuai dengan Moshitta kat Canmore bercerita tentang perancangan masa depan. Kerjakah. Masterkah. Turned out that will still be ages away. Untuk complete abeek, kalau cukup terer dan cukup laju dan cukup tak kisah berapakah pointer yang dapat di akhirnya, bolehlah habis dalam satu semester kot. Tapi kalau mahu mengikut slow and steady dan dengan perancangan yang sistematik akan ambil satu tahun. Baik extend setahun. Grad bulan 2 gak.

1. Berpeluang mengumpul lebih banyak duit sebelum terpaksa bertemu dunia luar yang tidak tahu akan kecukupan duit kah. Oh, agak materialistik di situ. Bukan. Ini dinamakan persediaan sebelum menjadi seorang dewasa yang berdikari dan tidak ditanggung atau ditaja sesiapa.

2. Berpeluang menceburkan diri secara serius dalam bidang jual-menjual brooch. Aik? Haha. Perniagaan yang banyak mengkayakan student dan orang lain tapi saya tak berapa ada minat. Brooch mana yang lawa pun saya tak pernah tahu. Er, to kak Zaret : Kalau kita pilihkan brooch tu tak lawa, mintak sorry banyak-banyak T.T

3. Berpeluang merancang masa depan dengan lebih teliti dan mencari bidang manakah yang saya benar-benar suka sebenarnya. Robotic memang best tapi susah. Previously saya suka heavy construction. But setelah satu semester di Kodae bidang Security Engineering macam gila best.

4. Berpeluang mendelay waktu untuk pulang ke Malaysia yang menakutkan. Don't get me wrong. Saya suka Malaysia. Saya sayang Malaysia. Dan saya mahu kerja di Malaysia. Tapi situasi Malaysia sekarang macam sangat menakutkan. Jadi bolehkah menanti keadaan sedikit stabil baru pulang?

5. Berpeluang mendelay adulthood. Haha. Hidup di sini memang semacam sangat muda remaja lah. Tak terasa langsung ketuaan. Hari-hari boleh ke sekolah dengan seluar jeans dan baggy t-shirt. Tak payah susah-susah melawa sana dan melaram sini. Apa lagi Chika. Kalau nak remaja, meh la datang.

6. Berpeluang annual dinner lagi setahun. Ahaha. Hari muhibbah lagi setahun? Tak payah lah. Saya sudah super duper senior nih. Tak main la hari muhibbah. Berpeluang melepak dengan hubae 67 lagi setahun. Hubae 83 tak berapa main.

7. Berpeluang hidup ditaja lagi setahun. Er. Tak dapat la mewariskan rumah kepada junior. Duduk 3 tahunkah dalam rumah nih? Terpaksalah memforge relationship yang baik dengan nenek atas tu. Er lagi setahun tidur tanpa katil?

Anyways, tahukah walau apa pun, abeek is not easy. Leceh sebab ada dua final project. Repeat la balik semua subjek major yang ada. Dalam ertikata lain, daripada seorang budak 3rd year, kita kembali menjadi budak 2nd year. Wah. Semakin muda. Semakin remaja. Ok mulai sekarang makan buku lah saya.

Assalamualaikum

Er tahukah lepas subuh tadi saya mimpi apa? Waiceh. Mimpi drama di mana Mekdi direbut dua lelaki. Dua-dua hensem gile plak tu. Dua-dua kaya. Dua-dua super pandai. Er haha. Cerita bermula di mana hari itu hujan. Waktu hendak pulang Mekdi tidak membawa payung. Lalu beliau dijemput oleh salah seorang lelaki tersebut. Lelaki tu payung kan. Er haha. Lepas tu time Mekdi dah blah, datang lagi seorang lelaki kacak hendak menjemput beliau. Er tapi confirm la Mekdi dah balik dengan lelaki sorang lagi tu kan. Ahahah. Gile hot Mekdi. 매력 있어. Ahaha =))

Tapi belum sempat cerita berkesudahan, saya terjaga sebab Moshitta call. Dia baru lepas hantar Timi amek bas balik Malaysia. Duh. Tak sempat nak tau mane satu yang dipilih.

Assalamualaikum

Woh. Bahang kebosanan cuti dah makin terasa. Rumah senyap gila. Zatul tidur. Moshitta tidur. Perut lapar udang goreng outback. Woh woh. Saya sudah habis baca chapter Template. Sekarang tengah terpusing-pusing baca Fundamentals of Electric Circuits. See. Lepas sebulan tak belajar subjek saintifik, terasa rindu pulak. Rindu nak tekan calculator tahu?

Er tahukah? Saya berjaya menulis essay dengan cemerlang dalam midterm paper untuk Reading and Discussion of American Popular Culture. Yup, I'm practically gloating. Bukan sebab saya suka subjek tu, (oh well, subjek tu makin hari makin mengarut) tapi sebab saya perlu grade itu untuk cover CGPA. Er sebab CGPA ade banyak sikit jatuh semester ni. Maka terpaksa kerja keras. Sikit.

Moshitta tanya saya, kenapakah secara tiba-tiba saya jadi moody bila Dina nak kahwin. Sedangkan sebelum ni tak pernah pulak saya bercerita tentang Dina atau sibuk nak jumpa dia waktu balik cuti. Er that is precisely the reason why. Human tend to take things for granted kan. Always saya kata, never mind, nanti-nanti boleh jumpa lagi. I planted in my head the thought that we will forever be best friends. And then suddenly there is no more nanti. And Mekdi's word came tumbling off my head. Jangan kawin dulu, nanti tak boleh gossip sama. Er ok. Saya kahwin lambat la macam ni. Saja kasik can kat korang make up for those time that you have took me for granted. Haha.

Assalamualaikum

아무래도 saya still rasa 210 words untuk creative writing macam sangat impossible. Saya baru tulis introduction. Tak bagitau lagi what is the travel plan, writings dah exceed 100 words. Ke cikgu tu memang nak menguji sejauh mana kitorang boleh tulis secara kreatif dalam limit yang sikit. Oo. Agak mencabar di situ. Duh~ Guling-guling. Kan dah. Makan banyak masa kena tulis padam tulis padam.

Assalamualaikum

Er haha. Private sudah. Kerana tak mahu hidup menjadi beban kepada orang lain. Maka menghilangkan diri dari dunia yang ramai orang. Maka marilah kita-kita yang berada dalam ni hidup bersama. Macam satu keluarga. Saya dan kamu. Orait?

Cerita Satu
Hari tu, saya ke sekolah dengan skirt. S.K.I.R.T. Percaya tak? Kali pertama woo sepanjang bergelar student. Ahaha. Dan skirt tu pulak walaupun telah dibeli berzaman waktu itu baru kali kedua dipakai. Punya la tak pernahnye melaram ke sekolah, oppa yang satu course dengan saya tanya saya nak ke mana-mana ke. Siap pikir saya nak balik Malaysia after kelas. Gila ke? Sebab berskirt? Err.. cuaca terlalu panas untuk memakai jeans. Skirt semacam sikit berangin. Er dan yang bestnya skirt tu, sebab sangat besar habis, klu angin bertiup pun sikit tak terselak. Keselamatan di tahap tinggi. Er.. tapi pada hari yang sama saya pakai skirt tu, keluar kat news mengenai serangga yang memenuhi sekolah selama ni sebenarnya membawa a kind of skin disease. So pagi tu pihak sekolah bertindak membunuh semua serangga tersebut. And after kelas American Popular Culture, waktu jalan di Squirrel Tread, ada ratusan serangga tersebut bergelimpangan di tengah jalan. Ada yang masih nyawa2 ikan sedang terlompat2. Err.. what if dia masuk dalam skirt saya? Aaaaaa~ Tak rela~~~

Cerita Dua
Saya ke Idae semalam. Seorang. Ye la. Seorang. Kan dah kata tak mahu jadi beban pada orang lain. Waiceh. Padahal sebenarnya orang lain ada kelas di Jumaat pagi. Haha. Breakfast rotiboy dengan ice choco. Nyum! Saya suka Idae waktu pagi. Sebab tak banyak orang. Kedai pun tak berapa banyak lagi bukak. Rambang mata tengok long t-shirt. Sangat mahu. Tapi sangat malas pakai baju 2 lapis tahu? Masuk Clue. Kosney. Accessorize. Teenie Weenie. Ended up dengan 7 batang pen. Tu pun sebab orang kirim. Haha. Er kira semua matlamat ke Idae tak tercapai. Saya ke Teenie Weenie tengok beg. Handbag to be specific. Turned out handbag tu kecik. Sangat. Besar sikit jek dari wallet saya. Macam mana saya nak sumbat semua gadget yang lain2 tu? Even Accessorize ade sale 50% tak ade satu pun yang saya suka. Er ok. Tipu. Saya suka satu beg tu. But it isn't really something you use for casual occasion. It's more for something formal. Dan saya sedang cari something yang casual. Something yang sesuai untuk semua jenis occasion. Sesuatu yang tak terlalu kecik dan selesa. Sesuatu yang boleh menggantikan my black old Accessorize. Note that it's old because I bought it 2 years ago. And I realized, saya seorang yang cerewet rupanya dalam memilih beg. Er and NO! I'M NOT BUYING A GUESS. Satu : Sebab semua orang wear Guess nowadays. So, no! Dua : Guess is just soo not me. Mungkin orang lain nampak lawa pakai. Tapi untuk saya, design itu akan nampak sangat tua kot. Maybe luxurious just isn't me.

Cerita Tiga
Saya ada 2 creative writing, 1 advertisement analysis, 1 powerpoint slide to be done before summer semester end. I love creative writing but we were only allowed a maximum of 210 words. Er, it's hard not to get carried away, right? Plus, in english, even a simple one character 'a' is already count as 1 word. Gila membazir. Btw, kenapa bdak group ni tak reply2 lagi message pagi tadi? How was I supposed to get on with the advertisement analysis?

Cerita Empat

Hadiah sape?? Ada orang sudah mahu tua =p

Saya ingat cable cellphone-computer memang dah betul2 hilang lah. Rupanya ada di depan mata selama ni. Er let's sekeping dua picture ni yang saya sangat suka. Taken during spring. At school.

It was one of the firsts bloom of the spring. In front of the building opposite of Innovation Hall.

Till then =)

Assalamualaikum

I think it's about time I take my leave from the crowd

4 years back I chose to be on my own, living my own world

But then I didn't know how did I get myself in

But now I realize the same thing I did then

The open world is still terrifying

And never inviting enough

And soon I'm setting this private

And don't discuss why I write a blog and keep it private

It's because I just want to keep it to the people in my line

And that is definitely not you

Assalamualaikum

Tiba-tiba saya rasa saya suka perkataan 싫어요.

Semacam berkata tidak dengan cara yang paling comel.

Anyways,

Idae jom esok!

Assalamualaikum

Assalamualaikum

Conversation 1.
English Reading and Discussion Class, discussing Hollywood movies and stock response.

Lecturer : Always in a romantic movie there is the guy riding a bicycle down some slope and a girl carrying quite heavy books or papers. And then what happened?
Me : They crashed into each other?
Lecturer : Yeah right. They crashed just lightly into each other and usually the paper the girl carrying fell and the guys helped him pick it up. And in this kind of movie, what is usually the girl's major?
Me : Err..
Lecturer : Definitely NOT Mechanical Engineering.
Me : Slam my face on the desk.

Clearly a heroine majoring in Mechanical Engineering isn't anybody's idea of a romantic movie.



Conversation 2
Yongsan, buying my PSP

Diyana : Farini, ko memang pengumpul gadget kan?
Me : Biasa la. Aku kan bdak Kigyae (Mechanical). Kne la beli banyak sikit gadget, baru nampak Kigyae (Mechanical)

Um.. actually electronics gadgets are more symbolized the electric and electronics student. But then tak kan saya nak bli tukul besi plak kn? Er ok. Maybe I'll buy a robot arm instead.




Conversation 3
Photocopy and printing shop at Hana Square, printing Moshitta's class handouts.

Me : Kenapa tak leh masuk portal pun. Logging in result-checking page.
Moshitta : Lag kot wak.
Me : Gasp.

Tata physcis. I'll miss having to frustrate over you dearly =)

First semester is over and I cannot say I'm not satisfied with my result coz I greatly am. Kelas musim panas has been extremely boring lately. American Popular Culture is fun when there are lots of discussion but since everybody was reluctant to speak, it sometimes become dead. I personally thought the same of every classes I take. Students were just reluctant to answer the professors questions. Maybe at DY it's because they don't know the answer but I expected KU students to be a bit more courageous to try answering according to their knowledge.

Erm, saya tak boleh bercakap tentang kelas Bahasa Inggeris di Kolej saya dalam bahasa Inggeris kerana kalau professor saya found this, habislah saya. Tapi kelas itu siryes bosan gila. Semacam dah berzaman saya tak ada cikgu perempuan. Except cikgu bahasa Jepun di DY. And even kalau cikgu bahasa Jepun itu bosan pun, it's a new language and I was never bored to learn it. Tapi cikgu ini super bosan. Dia mengambil masa sejam lebih membaca dan membincangkan kerja rumah dalam buku teks sahaja. Dia suruh orang baca dan dia akan mengexplain satu persatu perenggan tersebut. Dan tidak meminta kami bercakap langsung sebaliknya menyuruh kami mendengar dia drools on and on pasal ini dan itu. Maka ngantuk gile. Tips Moshitta : Sebelum kelas, jangan bukak langsung buku teks. Sebab time kelas akan menghadap buku tu selama 2 jam. Cikgu perempuan memang selalunya bosan kah? Saya tak mahu jadi cikgu la. Nanti saya membosankan para pelajar. Er cop. Ada seorang cikgu perempuan tak bosan. Cik Sham..... Urghh~ Miss her~~
