Lucky ke murah rezeki?

 Assalamualaikum,


Hey, I have been abandoning this blog for months. Not a new thing, but thought I should mention it lol. Thing is, banyak jee draft tapi tak post sebab tak habis tulis. 

I've had quite eventful months since I last wrote here. In July, randomly decided to challenge myself. Yang menang phone tu. Gila. Entered a quiz contest, in which I had to do a quiz every Saturday & Sunday at 12 pm for 4 weeks. Somewhere deep inside my gut, I do think I will win. Sebab the amount of efforts that I gave was, I think, huge. Kau bayangkanlah setiap weekend 12 tengahari dah tercatuk depan laptop & perah otak jawab soalan & tulis essay after essay. Mungkin ini yang dipanggil rezeki kerana usaha. 

Lepas tu dapat good news one after another. One of them was being chosen to receive seed funding for my lil business. Ya Allah, I was basically overwhelmed at the time, and when all of these were being presented in front of me, tak ada fikir lain but thankful that they came at the right time. Like Allah was showing me, or even 'telling me' that He got my back. Keep going. And so I did. Sekarang dah half way through the 3 months for the Make It Happen program. I have made so much progress. A lot of which I may not even make as fast as I did if there wasn't this program. Yang ini, rezeki kerana usaha juga, rasanya. Entahlah, I think it is more than just usaha. Kena include doa & tawakal sekali. Kalau mat saleh panggil 'manifesting'. In which, yes, I did just that. Envisioning myself getting it before I even get it. 

Someday, I will write more about what this program is about. Walaupun aku memang continuously  share about it in my Instagram stories sebab I now know someone is watching. By someone, I mean my juniors yang specifically said that they followed me and was inspired by my sharings. One even went so far as interviewing me and writing about my lil business in her final assignment before she graduated. What the heck. I may have fantasies of these kind of things happening (manifesting, remember?), but I did not expect it to happen this fast, or even happen at all. Tak cukup dengan tu, I am also invited to be a speaker for this program that they are doing next month, organized by my residential college at my alma mater. A freaking huge deal by the way. Mind blowing. I might write about that later. We'll see.

Anyway, the program is a bit like the tv show Shark Tank, only milder, I think. Side note: I have never watched a full episode of Shark Tank, but I know the drill. 


So, lucky ke murah rezeki? Tak cukup. Kena ada usaha sendiri. Kalau tak, memang tak jadi.


Cakap pasal rezeki, this was something I just shared to my family semalam actually. You know how I have been staying home? Because of that, my driving skills have been reduced, much to my chagrin. Bukannya aku dah tak reti drive langsung. It's just that I am not as alert as I used to be when I drive. 

Dulu kan I drove every day for my work. Travel pergi all over Melaka and Johor every month. My driving skills were stellar! No doubt.

Now, though, let me just say, I am a threat to my own life. Twice, I almost got into car accidents fairly recently. Yang satu tu dengan lori eh. Allahu. The only thing that separated me from life threatening accidents was the other driver's warning. 

Yang first tu, the lorry honked when he saw me not slowing down before changing my lane. It was a 16 tire lorry agaknya, it was that huge.

The other one, I do not remember exactly, but I nearly bump into the car in front of me, but someone honked or something. Got me out of my reverie.

Which brings us to the conversation that I had yesterday. I was like, 

"Was it something I did? A deed or a religious practice that I do that saved me? Was it doa ibu? Doa ayah? Was it just dumb luck? Or was someone protecting me?"

Izzat said, "Dummy, of course someone was protecting you. That someone is Allah." 

Obvious answer is obvious, but I guess I really am just curious what exactly made me deserving of being protected like that? What did I do right so that I can keep continue doing it? That was my point of asking.  



You know what? Let's just strive to be a better human every day. 

Semoga kita semua sentiasa di bawah lindungan Allah. Aamiin ya rabbal a'lamin.

Redang Mutiara Beach Resort: A Review (July 2017)

Image
Assalamualaikum, I promised to write about the expenses for our trip to Redang and would also give some useful tips for those of you who are looking to go for a holiday there. So, here you go. We stayed for a night at a hotel in Kuala Terengganu before going to Redang Island because we had to catch our ferry in the morning, which we could not possibly do on the same day we had our journey from KL to Terengganu. That would be such a rushed trip. It was a budget hotel, Hotel Kenangan. We took 2 rooms for 3 and 4 people. The rate was RM18.30 per person per night, which was affordable for students like us. The room condition was fairly acceptable relative to the price. I mean, we were only in need of a place to sleep at. Not a luxurious room to lavish in. We took a RM300 per head package (not including GST, RM16.50) at Redang Mutiara Beach Resort. It is the rate for weekdays. We went there from Wednesday (12th July) until Friday (14th July). Since there were 7 of

First Year Dietetics: Subject Summary

Image
This is not a typical short and sweet update. It’s going to be a long one which is kind of rare for me these days. Okay, I know I’ve been writing about my undergraduate life a lot but this post is strictly to talk about my program, Bachelor Science (Dietetics). As I just recently finished my first year, I’m going to talk about what I’ve basically learnt.              Before we start, let me just give some facts. I am an undergraduate in Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), currently studying Dietetics. I went to an interview in May 2015. There were 2000 applicants, about 100 of them were called to be interviewed and eventually only 29 of us were chosen before another 3 were brought in for the second intake. So, there are 32 of us. I did go to another interview for the same program at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) which I obviously flunked. This was surprising because I found the interview at UPM to be much harder and thorough. The interview took 30 minutes when in contra

Special Unit: Institut Jantung Negara

Assalamualaikum, I am currently at home, holding the title fresh graduate. So, I am not bind to anything. Patutnya aku dah lama taip pasal ni tapi mood tu tak ada haha. Ni baru rasa macam ada mood sikit. So, here goes, walaupun I do not think this would be a long post. Just simple and sweet. We will see. Masa dapat tahu aku dapat placement kat sini, I was quite literally scared. Awat? Weh, ni IJN kot. Kena attach directly dengan dietitians kat sana. Bukan lagi dengan CI kita yang dah masak dengan perangai 32 orang ni. Yes, aku pernah pergi hospital luar which were Hospital Kajang & Hospital Putrajaya, tapi kat dua2 hospital ni, mostly memang attach dengan CI, bukan dengan dietitian kat hospital. The sheer terror was also because I am a bit of a shy person (walaupun kalau cakap benda ni kat sesiapa, depa takkan percaya sebab dah biasa dengan aku yang banyak cakap ni xD). The prospect of meeting new people usually gives me anxiety.  Dah lah special unit ni rotation terak
