Assalamualaikum, I have just noticed that I did not write 'Midsem Break the Third'. Oh well. I was probably too busy to even have a break at that time, or I just did not remember to update. Anyhow, it is now my fourth mid-semester break. I must tell that the fourth semester is by far the most crazy semester and it is not actually over yet. Only the first half did. I have another 7 weeks of it to go through. I do not know whether it was because I chose to be involved in so many activities at once or was the semester meant to be this hard.  Our seniors did tell us that the 4th and the 5th semester were the busiest semester ever. So, yeah, I will be as busy if not busier for the next one too. It seemed like the lecturers would not stop giving us assignments to finish. Presentations after presentations, reports after reports. It was a miracle I succeeded in submitting them all before the due dates. KSAJ took away three days of my break and I only ha

Assalamualaikum, The break is almost over. I will be starting my 4th semester in about a week. Funnily enough, I have not finish all my business this sem break and I am anticipating a very busy semester. Of course, my study is one thing. There will be heaps of assignments and such but the things that will make me massively busy are actually outside of the classroom activities. Even before entering the new semester, I am now booked for 5 events. One of them is an event that involves a large scale of participants from the universities all over Malaysia, two dinner events, an entirely new area I am trying out and one event that I do not actually care for much but needs to since I am one of the board members.  I will be an assistant director, the head of protocol, registration committee member, equipment committee member and a secret role for that new area of interest.  Apart from that, I will be taking part in SUKOL, womens' futsal team of K17. I wil

Assalamualaikum, The world is very confusing. How could a publicly-hated-on-a-massive-scale person be elected as president? A racist mysogynist white supremacist with bad hair too. *Sighing for the millionth time*  . . . My lil sister is playing The Sims. I am kind of stressed watching the way she plays it. Eventhough the family had low funds, she bought the most expensive television set, relatively expensive showers, sofas and even an aquarium. Now, she's buying the most expensive windows, lots of them, actually xD I've always love this game and have played it more times than I can remember. In fact, it's my favourite game ever. It started from the first pc version, which I was so obsessed with and wish I can still play it on this laptop but it's too oldschool for today's technology, I suppose. Then, I played The Sims 2, The Sims Pets and The Sims Castaway on Playstation 2. Was sooo obsessed with them too. It's like playing with dol

Assalamualaikum, I hope it's not too late to say happy new year. It's already 2017. If Allah wills it, I'll be turning 21 this year. That means I'm obligated to vote for the next PRU. Fuh. Totally not looking forward to that. I hope now that we (us 90s kids) are allowed to vote for our nation's leaders, Malaysia can finally be saved. From what you may assume? Corrupted governments or basically those who are not FTR, fit to rule. Look, maybe I should stop talking politics. Let's have a review on 2016. Yep, I'll refrain from talking about all those 'worldly' events. Just going to talk 'bout me. Promise. Hee. After exploring on many aspects of life (ceh), I learnt that I'm a flexible person. It's a great trait to have but I also got to identify my weaknesses on which I hope, no, I will improve on. My level of maturity is telling me to start doing this and stop doing that but my inner childishness is tell

Assalamualaikum, It's hard to believe that the third sem is almost over. I'm in my study week now. I feel like it's now a must for me to write something here every study week since I rarely even update this blog. Been extra busy with everything. How's life?  Yup, STILL trying out all sort of stuffs. I'm such a lucky girl for having many chances to do the things not everyone can even dream of. Something that I learnt, Allah always has the best plan for you. What you have to do is just live your life accordingly. Don't let go of the chances given to you. People thought I would be chosen as an MTM for the 16/17 session but surprisingly I didn't. At first, I really did question it. Was I not worthy enough ? But then, as the semester starts, I got to be involved in much bigger events that I wouldn't have participated in if I was an MTM. I got to be a 'penyambut tetamu' during the convocation season,  I also went to Thaila

Assalamualaikum, Yup, I've posted more chapters. Realising that I am such a brat for not posting them for so long, I just think this is the least that I can do. Furthermore, I found out that someone are still reading them and this makes me touched, a bit, okay no, like a lot. Thanks to those people who are still loyal and sorry from the bottom of my heart for not posting frequently. I'm literally a bad person. Don't worry, there are not much chapters left. You'll get your ending soon, I promise ;) The writing is not that magnificent, right? But hey, I'm a beginner, so please do cut me some slack. In just a few days time, I'll be starting my second year as a Dietetic student. Yes, I spent more than 2 months at home. I thought I got over the nerves but turned out I am still anxious about college life. When will I ever gain enough self-confidence?  Um, I already know my second year roommate but that's not the case for hou

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
