Up-close and Personal

Assalamualaikum

Yay dah siap sketching. Maka dah boleh raya. Tapi perut telah lapar selepas membuat design. Confirmlah bukan. Siapakah yang tak lapar selepas drawing? Oh tak payah berasa seronok dan bercakap macam baguslah bukan Farini. Padahal membuat design secara cukup makan tak sampai 2 jam dah siap.

Kerja saya sangat banyak melambak-lambak sehingga berasa macam terpaksa cancel untuk hadir majlis khatam al-Quran di embassy esok. Betul serius banyak macam dah nak terpenyek under workload. Teringat ketika packing barang di Malaysia, saya kat pada emak, "Boleh la kot masak-masak time raya sebab baru minggu ketiga. Belum busy lagi." Sekarang saat ni apabila minggu ketiga tersebut sampai, saya dah rasa macam nak give up. Eh eh bukan give up abeek. Tak mungkin give up abeek lah bukan? Terasa nak give up graduating on time. Nak extend buleh? Er tapi tak berapa boleh. Sebab terkenangkan kata-kata Mekdi, "Jalan biar ke hadapan."

Esok will be another hectic day. Dan kalau saya mahu a nice brooch di atas tudung saya menjelang lebaran nanti, esok harus bangun jam 6 dan keluar rumah jam 7 ke Namdaemun sebab perlu be back at school before 9 untuk make-up class.

Saya rindu rumah dan isi rumah. Sebab cuti lepas setiap kali makan berteman, sekarang disuruh makan kerepek sorang-sorang pun tak mahu. Tengok. Siapa salah?

Selamat Hari Raya

Maaf Zahir Batin

Assalamualaikum

Let's not talk about today much. Instead let's talk about last night. Ehe.

Saya berbuka puasa di Bilik Malaysia KU. Round 2 ialah ice creams kat Baskin Robbins with two of my most favorite people in the world : Moshitta and Mekdi. Sebab semester dah start, most talked topics are of course pasal school. Especially since all of us are graduating after this semester. Mekdi briefed me a bit on coffee and the differences between coffees from the vending machine and coffees from coffee house. Bila saya kata saya tak tahu beza, beliau kata no wonder since saya cuma minum lattes and macchiatos and both with caramel. The aroma of the coffee has long gone with the cream, milk and sugar. Beliau berkata nak tahu taste of coffee yang sebenar, mesti minum americanos or iced coffees and espressos.

Sitting across the table, watching Mekdi talk, I wonder how come there exist a person so lovable like her. Despite having the born-with-it talent of taking great photographs, being well-educated in general knowledge, universal culture, gadgets and technology, and having fabulous sense of her own styles, Mekdi macam sangat cool and kind to everybody that I can't think of anybody that could ever hate her. And when I think more about it, saya rasa hidup saya macam sangat penuh dengan those kind of people. Take my dear housemate, Zatul, for example. She's extremely pretty, she's smart, she's kind, she's very rajin with the house chores, she cooks well, she's good at socializing even with older people, she's alim etc. I have to say it's hard not to like her. And yeah, there's a whole bunch of other examples it's hard to give out every names.

Alhamdulillah, although I have lots of flaws, Allah kurniakan pada saya teman-teman yang hebat untuk menemani saya dalam perjalanan dunia :)

Assalamualaikum

Everyday I reminisce with the past

Of the love that we thought would last

How it used to be when it was you and me

How did it all disappear so fast

There are days that I can't forget

There are things that I now regret

I was there for you and you were there for me

And I was thinking we were set

Every night when I'm laying in my bed

I hear your voice going round in my head

Think of all the things I could've done

And all those things I could've said

I really will make it up to you

I know now what I've gotta do

It took time but now I've realized how much I'm missing you

Sepuluh minit lagi buka puasa. Cepat update laju-laju. Baru 3 hari sekolah homework dah melonggok. Maka sebab terasa obligation untuk mula membaca buku teks, saya telah mencari lagu yang sesuai untuk dimain pada latar belakang bacaan saya. Kan dah kata Farini adalah seorang pelik yang tak boleh baca buku dalam keadaan senyap. Maka tiba-tiba telah menggali lagu 5ive and landed on Closer to Me. Saya dan adik beradik perempuan lain memang pernah menjadi peminat 5ive. Mungkin juga masih. Tapi saya remember Closer to Me as my all-time favorite. You just have to say that the song really captured the feelings of losing people that are dear to us because of our stupid mistakes. I remember once sending the above prose to one close friend of mine masa sekolah.

Assalamualaikum

Ha. Cikgu dah suruh pergi observe coffee machine. Nak observe coffee machine mesti la kena pergi coffee house. Dah pergi coffee house tu mesti la kena beli coffee dia secawan dua baru boleh mintak tengok coffee machine dia kan kan? Macamane?

Ehe :D Farini memang pandai cari alasan untuk spend RM15 for a cup of coffee kan?

Selepas 4 kelas dari pagi sampai ke malam hari ini, Farini telah makan separuh periuk nasi. Nasi ok bukan periuk. Saida Munira pasti berasa gembira. Haha.

Sabtu lalu waktu saya awal pagi ke kelas ganti, seorang pakcik menahan saya lalu bertanya itu ini. Soalan lazim yang dilontar pada foreigner aneh macam saya. Dari negara mana, belajar apa etc etc. Kenapa saya kategorikan saya sebagai foreigner aneh? Sebab pakcik dan makcik Korea semua macam lebih berminat menahan kami student Malaysia dan bertanya itu ini dari menahan mana-mana foreigner berupa paras orang Barat. See. Sangat aneh. Padahal sama foreigner lah bukan? Anyway, beliau bertanyakan major saya. Bila saya kata major saya ialah Mechanical Engineering, beliau berkata sesuatu yang saya rasa semua orang lain pun fikir tentang saya : macam mana begini punya kecik boleh major in Mechanical Engineering. Ya ya. Saya memang kecik, saya tahu. Suara pun kecik juga serupa budak Menengah Rendah. Hei hei, tapi saya super senior tahu. Tapi bila pakcik tersebut berkata demikian, saya pun cuma tergelak kecil dengan sopan. Tak tahu nak kata apa.

ABEEK non-extending memang social suicide lah. Semalam saya berjumpa student Malaysia di Kodae yang mengaku tak pernah nampak saya. Lol. Farini dah makin tidak popular. Macamane? Tapi pun akhir-akhir ni macam telah kembali menjadi introvert yang amat, iaitu tidak berapa menggemari keluar bersosial dan berjumpa kenalan mahupun junior-junior kesayangan sekalian. Entah kenapa entah.

Su Yeon bercuti semester ini. Something about learning English more before facing the cruel world of working. Saya berasa sedikit sedih. Sebab it means I won't be graduating with her. And she is spending the semester in Busan which kind of mean tak tahu bilakah akan bersua muka lagi.

Eh mari beritahu kamu semua suatu perkara kelakar yang di post kan oleh Kiki a.k.a Bibik di facebook wall saya. Saya tahu kamu semua jarang2 melawat wall saya. Tapi tak apa. Saya copy sini. Apparently, Adini memang pandai membuat kelakar yang innocent betul. Iaitu dia tak tahu apakah yang betul dan salah untuk dicakap. Macam bercakap mengikut suka hati apa-apa saja yang terlintas dalam kepala.

Beliau mesti berasa yakin beliau dah dapat perumpamaan yang tepat. Lol. Salah la Ardini. Cantik bukan macam lembu. Pergi belajar Bahasa Melayu dengan nenek lagi.

Entah macam mana dia boleh compare lampu raya dengan peti surat. Mesti dia pikir ada apa benda yang bergantung depan rumah dia. Dan entah mana dia belajar perkataan peti surat.

Sekian macam sangat banyak cakap bukan.

Assalamualaikum

Aik tiba-tiba. Ayat intro yang tak ada kaitan langsung dengan post. Or dengan apa-apa pun for that matter. Saya cuma sedang mendengar lagu 가슴이 어떻게 됐나 봐 pada waktu ni :p.

Beberapa minggu lepas bila some students dari course mana entah said that "a team of engineer is not a good team because they are not business-minded" or something along that line, saya hurriedly looked at the girl next to me who is a civil engineering major and sent her a mental message that I disapprove that statement. Beberapa hari lepas, waktu saya sedang buat reading assignment involving an article of how important innovation is in business nowadays, penulis tersebut menyamakan teaching managers the dynamics of innovation to teaching the elephants how to dance. And I laughed at that. Honestly, while managers make fun of how engineers are not business-minded, engineers make fun of how managers are not creative or innovative. Tapi tapi tapi, cikgu saya kata a lot of the lecturers over at the business school of our university have bachelor degrees in engineering. Turned out lots of engineering-graduated people got their MBAs and started out their own companies.

Sedang menolong Hanim menyiapkan portfolio padahal portfolio saya pun tak siap-siap. Portfolio itu leceh tahu. Kena struggle berfikir nak isi apa kat mana. Hanim pun kata beliau dah nak muntah buat portfolio tersebut. Kan dah kata. Leceh kemain.

Eh eh. Hari ni tiba-tiba berasa nak berbuka dengan telur puyuh rebus. Kena ke kedai ni.

Assalamualaikum

Does getting to know coffee and coffee machines involve trying every single coffee at coffee beans ek? Coz I am more than happy to do so. Haha. Honestly, saya rasa sangat happy knowing we are making coffee machine this semester. Yayy. At least it is something I have interest in. Unlike some IOS arm in some dental clinic. Tapi still have zero idea of how I'm going to build an army of transformers that can fight enemies, defend themselves, climb some hills and ring a bell. Isn't that kind of too much for a second year ek? And how come the juniors and seniors got an easier task?

I have make up class on 5, 19 and 26th September. Make up di situ bermaksud kelas tambahan. BUKAN kelas belajar bersolek. Ya, saya tahu saya tinggal lebih kurang 180 hari untuk kelihatan dewasa, tapi pun belum berasa nak belajar bersolek.

Eh eh. Rupanya baru hari Khamis lah bukan. Belum sampai seminggu pun meninggalkan Malaysia. Kenapakah berasa sangat macam sudah lama.

Ok. Perlu ke Itaewon membeli keperluan sedikit. Jumpa kamu nanti.
