SO WHAT?!

Assalamualaikum...

Yesterday, I went to the main campus to join the forum called "Bicara Cinta Sebelum, Semasa & Selepas" or it was called love before, in present and after (the marriage I guess..). When I arrived around 8.30 p.m., the forum already has started, and I missed the opening show presented by nasheed group. 3 panels have been brought from Kuala Lumpur that night. They are Mr. Amin Idris, Mr. Najdi or famous by the name of Imam Muda Najdi, and the only female panel, Miss Nur Mastura Mansor.

Mr. Amin Idris

Imam Muda Najdi

Miss Nur Mastura @ Kak Mas

I'm not really interested to join the forum at first. The title really don't interest me at all because I can guess what they gonna say. But what interests me is that, meeting Kak Mas, my senior at Perak Matriculation College. Even look at far, it is enough for me. However, my time there were not gone waste. They are really good in giving counselling and sure, they've got many experiences in life. I was amazed by the Kak Mas's principal and how firm she is when dealing a love problem in her life. She is rather live alone than live with the man that can't even make a decision who he wants to be with. She's not worried as she leaves all to Allah to decide. "Kalau ada, ada lah...kalau takde, takde lah"~~Kak Mas.

Another speech that caught my ears is from Mr. Amin Idris. According to him, we have to have a dream to success. We will not going anywhere if we don't. He told us his story. Years ago, he told his friend about his dreams. His dreams are to get rich from RM5000 per month increase to RM1.5 million per month, writes 30 books that will translate to 30 languages and so and so....(can't remember all his dreams..too many). His friend could not believe him. He think it was ridiculous and said something like, "You are crazy". And he, Mr. Amin teaches us if there are people who underestimate our dreams, just replied with a short, simple and concise answer, "SO WHAT?!" Because they don't deserve to underestimate/laugh at our BIG dreams because they themselves don't have one.

I was quite lucky that night. After the forum has ended, instead of planning just to see her from far, I got a chance to see Kak Mas, my senior face-to-face, talk to her and hug her. =) I also got a chance to take a picture with all the panels but unfortunately, I don't have a copy...yet..will try to ask somebody who have it..

That's all for now...see ya~~

Gonna miss Serian...

Assalamualaikum...

Get posting in Serian for 3 weeks seems to be long at first but the time flew by so fast that the 3 weeks feels like 3 days. Many of my friends that already posted in Serian told me the famous story of the hostel that they lived in when I asked them how the Serian is. They told me the creepy story behind the wall of the hostel...or it is more like a dorm to me. They heard that the tables and chairs being dragged by 'someone' almost every night. Sometimes during the day. Sometimes they heard a women's voice...and of course, that kind of story scared out of me! to some extent, I hope that I will not be posted in Serian! but that is not possible though...huhu

But everything is changed when I stepped my feet in Serian. For me, Serian is quite a nice place to lived in..its just a small town less better than Sibu, but its still a nice place. Our hostel (or a dorm..hehe) just beside the KFC. So you can imagine how our daily life was affected by the tempting KFC smells??and because of that, I eat KFC every week! I know it is bad..very bad.. =(

Everything seems to be okay with me, except that the people of Serian looks a bit weird. They looked at us like they never meet a person before! and that make we feel like we are the aliens!

And to my surprise, I never heard or experienced a weird sounds like what my friends told me until, my last night at Serian. That night, I was already slept for about 1 and a half hour before I woke up again at 10.50pm. Thinking that I haven't finished my seminar slides, I hurriedly wake up, perform my Isya' prayer and start my work. At 12.00a.m, the sounds of tables and chairs being dragged touched my ear. I was not afraid at that time as some of my friends are still awake. Finishing my work that was ended at 1.30a.m. leave me the only person that still awake at that time as my seminar-presenter-partner has jumped up on her bed. Aware of that situation, I also prepared to sleep even though my eyes were not sleepy because I already has slept beforehand. I closed my eyes, put the pillow over my face and try to sleep which I know it's not working as I still can hear the 'sounds' for another 30-60 minutes. I only know that I fall asleep when I wake up at 6.20a.m.

At last! I got to experienced the most 'famous' story of Serian even though I only got the chance during my last night here..hehe..even though it is creepy to some people and its not a good thing to hope for, but having experience something that is 'common' in our hostel in Serian is quite fortunate, don't you think?

See ya! Jaa-ne~~ =)

Nur Amalina Che Bakri...she's really a bright girl!

Assalamualaikum...

Last Sunday i watched Nona on TV3 talking about this excellent ex-SPM candidate which scored 17A1 in 2004, Nur Amalina Che Bakri. Currently, she is studying medicine at University of Edinburgh, UK in year 4. More surprisingly, she do double degrees! (besides medicine, she do a degree in pharmacology). The opportunity that only offered to those in top 90 students. But what is most surprising me is that, she wrote a book together with her lecturer titled, "ABC to the Unknown Symptoms" (if I'm not mistaken) when she is still a student!! Wowww...that was very impressive! 'O' That book will be published in UK on June or July this year and maybe will be sell at Malaysia later on. Are you jealous?? okey, I admit..I am jealous!haha..

But that was not long okey! because I think she deserved it..really deserved it...every success comes with hardship. She is very hardworking and studious person. She is working hard to achieve her dreams..and now, Allah granted her wishes: have excellent grades in studies and have a good scholarship from Bank Negara. In naked eye, she looks perfect with great intelligence, money and know how to fashion...but one thing that she lacked. She does not wearing hijab even though she is a moslem..I'm not stressed out the point here to humiliate her or want to make fun of her, but I want to show you that everyone has their advantages and disadvantages. Maybe some of you Allah has given the intelligence without the money, and some of you Allah has given money but without the intelligence, and maybe some of you Allah does not grant you both the intelligence and the money, but He give you His guidance to live your life.

The morale of the story is: it is useless to get jealous of what others have but you don't. Instead, be grateful with what you have and not resentful with what you don't. ~credited to my friend Ubai, for this beautiful quote =) ~

So now, let's us pray together for Amalina's success and may He open her heart to start wearing hijab one day! =D

Till we meet again..jaa ne~

Sunday's story...

Assalamualaikum...how's your day guys?

Now i've been quite lazy to do things, struggling to fight against procrastination! its not easy though...you have to be strong MENTALLY to do so..i guess strong physically here is useless..err, okey its not enough because feel tired all day can lead to procrastination as well..hehe..

I'm gonna talk about DREAMS...i'm pretty sure all of you have dreams right..if not many, one dream is acceptable...i also have many dreams. I want to have excellent grades and be a successful doctor, I want to travel all around the world, I want to have properties on my own, I want to be respected by people, I want to bla...bla...bla......... but deep inside my heart, I want to be independent. I want to be able to stand on my own feet, I want to be the daughter that gives benefit to her parents and her family and I wanna flyyyy! =)

But dreams are only dreams if there is no single action is taken to fulfill it. its okay if you cannot do much effort in fulfilling your dream (if you are a student like me..), maybe you can start saving right now, even 10 or 20 cents per day is acceptable as long as it is continuously doing. In fact, many can be done as a student also...i take an example to achieve high grade in exam. All you have to do is study. Once you have a high grade, you indirectly make your parents and other family members happy...got it??

But life is unpredictable. Why? because it involved the karma..sometimes you have struggle enough and you have done what it is need to be done in order to get higher marks in exam but still...the result was not satisfied. It happens to me though. Don't be sad! you don't know the future as much as He knows it..and you don't know what He already prepared for you..life is a journey, life is not a destination...so keep your motivation high, live your life with His guidance and you will find your beautiful destination. =D

See you next time~~ jaa ne~ =)
