Assalamualaikum, It's study week right now. How lucky are we to be able to go home for Ramadhan this year? The first day of the study week was the first day of Ramadhan. So, clearly I am where I needed to be right now. Home. Um, studying is going pretty well. I don't know if this is the correct pace that I should study but I have like lots of time left until my next paper. So, I try not to be too stressed out.  Sem 2 is coming to an end real soon. Like, about 2 weeks time. I know I've done amazingly good for my first year as an undergrad student. I was involved. Very involved, in fact. It was my goal after our Minggu Perkasa Putra. Everyone who gave speech during MPP stated about how one shouldn't be 'too studious'. One should be involved in as many activities outside of class as he/she can. Gain new skills and harvest experience. So, I did and it was wonderful. Take the advice, kids. Don't be too studious. Unfortunately, be

Assalamualaikum, I think this is the very first time that I update a post while I'm in college. Reason; We've got ourselves a new wifi now, everybody! Applause! Finally *sighs* Uspot was a complete and utter disgrace as I can't even use it once since I came to UPM. Hopefully this wifi will continue to not disappoint. For someone with so many stuffs being cramped in her head, I have nothing to really write about. This semester is coming to an end in about a month. Clearly, I'm hoping time would pass faster because of the stack of works I'm obligated to finish but I don't quite want my first year as an undergraduate student to be over. I just don't, for some reasons. Not going to list 'em out. Go figure.  . . . . . No matter the outcomes, whether they are good or relatively bad, you know you've tried. I'd rather have a life of 'oh wells' instead of a life of 'what ifs' because in the end we only reg

Assalamualaikum, So far, the second semester was one hell of a semester. Even before the semester started, I was told to go back to college earlier than I should as I was involved in the college dinner, the most prestigious of all college events. My college that is. At the same time, I was involved in my course family day as an ajk that required continuous practices for senamrobik routine. So, I had two practices to attend to for about 3 weeks. Mind you the rehearsals were not just once but almost every night and sometimes evening, my time was not mine. In addition to those events, my class schedule this time is bizarre. From Monday until Thursday, I start my day at 8 a.m. and ends it at 5 or 7 in the evening. I totally have limited time to even rest properly.  After those two events were done, I decided to join another one. It's a sport-related event. No one would believe this at first but I am now one of the futsal representatives for my college. Training is to

Assalamualaikum, Sooo, thing's been going rather slowly after that camp. I am surely glad I made the decision to join because at least I know I'd spent part of my sem break doing stuffs I am definitely proud of. I also gained lots. So yeah. My best decision I've ever made as undergraduate so far. Nenek's not well. I hate that she's not as active and healthy as before. Of course she was not perfectly healthy but she was very much alive back before she had that 'fall'. Hm. Now, she's aching everywhere.  Today Ibu sent her for a massage and left me to cook for those young'uns before they get to school. I don't mind because I am always searching for the chance to cook before sem 2 starts in which I'll be cooking based on what I was told. Just now I had my dinner with nenek. I was eating like usual when suddenly nenek took the dish that I cooked and ate it. Em, wow. I felt goosebumps all over me. Usually I'm the o

Assalamualaikum, I'm currently in my study week. How different it is with when I was in PALAM. How so you may ask? Hm, I don't remember having so much time on my hand to NOT think about studying and procrastinate. I never did that there. Maybe the fact that our study week was non-existent at that time could be the reason why. Hah. I think it was because of the flood that hit the country at the time. We extended our midsem break and there goes our one week of studying period. It's quite hard to believe that a semester is almost over. How fast does this Earth rotates, seriously? Time is going past so fast, I might stop blinking to savour every second of it but of course that's impossible, aite? The year is also almost over. Just a few days more.  Even so, I think a lot of stuffs happened in just one semester. I mean it. A LOT. Need not to tell in details about those, yeah? (No one really cares, Hannysa. Just so you know). Uh, I'm looking fo

Assalamualaikum, It's been quite a while. I'm officially, for more than 2 months now, a degree student. Freedom is something that's hard to look out for. To make yourself in control and not go overboard. Pray that I can keep being the me that I always am but at the same time giving space for a better me to surface. It isn't easy. Degree life is definitely different from Asasi life, I can assure you that. I don't know if it's the place but UPM taught me, in the small amount of time that I'm there, I am worth every people's time and effort and they are too. How important each and every one of us are, that no one is worthless. In K17, we are like a big family. It reminds me of high school, where I recognise everyone especially those in my batch. That's how we are here. I feel like if I were to be in the 'asrama' during school days, this would be how I lived. Surrounded by people with varying personalities and me exposing my

Assalamualaikum, Although I've been using Blogger for almost 2 years now, I don't actually know how it works. At least not completely. I mean, I can do things but there are some tasks that I have no idea how to do. For example, getting a notification when someone leave a comment on any of my blog post. So, how do I know when a person commented? I don't. Haha. Unless I notice something strange about the total number of comments. Usually that happens when suddenly my sense is perfectly senseful. Basically that happened last night. I accidentally looked at the total number  of comments and felt curious. So, I checked and found this comment; I know I shouldn't be too worked up over a random comment from an anonymous but I actually felt delighted reading it. You may ask me why? Well, in the negativity-filled internet where people hide behind their computer screens and send hate to other people, I am quite surprised there are still this kind of people.
