Assalamualaikum, I forgot that I have always updated this blog every study week. Patutlah tiba-tiba felt an urge to update. Sebab bila kau dah jadikan habit, ada biological clock yang akan ingatkan kau yang kau kena buat habit kau tu. So, kali ni punya final exam ada 4 paper je. Je. Apa kau fikir 4 paper tu, sebab sikit, senang? Haha. Tak. Added to the fact 3 paper 2 hari berturut-turut, lepas tu gap 10 hari nak sampai last paper. Hah, amik. Study lah sampai muntah xD Tapi sebab last paper tu MNT, aku terima dengan hati terbuka. Banyak weh nak kena master untuk subjek tu. Try to look at the positive side ni. 3 hari aku jimba tak pegang lecture notes. Tapi I am satisfied with my progress by far. Sebab the 4th day tu, I finished reading all the lecture notes for Nutrition Counselling. A bit of a challenge to divide my time for settling my FYP chapters yang kena hantar by 29 December (which is esok) & study for finals jugak.   Sekejap je dah n...

Assalamualaikum, I am currently stalling. Kerja banyak sangat sampai tak tahu nak capai yang mana dulu. Kerja apa? -3 jenis presentation Foodservice -FYP proposal slides -FYP chapter 2 & 3 -Study MNT- test Jumaat ni -Plan a visit to welfare house -Plan untuk masak Hipster Cafe next week -Practice untuk Nutrition Counseling So, I came to you lah bloggie. Sepanjang sem 1 third year ni rasa okay je lagi. Tiba2 nak habis sem, semua benda langgar aku one by one. Tak sempat nak ambil nafas, kena langgar lagi. Gila kalau cakap aku tak pernah persoalkan kebolehan aku. Bodoh. Kadang2 rasa macam tu. Betul ke ada potensi? Ke memang tu kata-kata penyedap hati? Mungkin kena ingat balik kenapa kau kat sini. Niat kau. Betulkan balik. Jangan rasa terbeban, asyik mengeluh. Padahal kau yang nak sangat course ni. Ingat balik macam mana susah kau datang sini semata-mata nak pergi interview belajar kat sini. Berapa ramai yang tak diterima, kau pulak lemah longlai mac...

Assalamualaikum, This is a sad post. If you do not wish to be sad, do stop reading. If you are curious, go on. Continue reading. Imagine you just met someone and about a week later, she suddenly die. No signs of sickness, no signs of weakness, she just died. And you remember every single bit of the last moments you were with that person. Every little thing that she did, every single word she said to you, her mannerisms, her laugh, her smile. Everything.  "Angah, nanti balik kampung amik jus delima Mak La. Mak La dah tak boleh minum sebab tengah buat chemo. Jus tu bagus, Alos dah minum." Then, she said this to an acquaintance sitting next to her, "Dr cakap, dengan keadaan aku sekarang ni kena banyak sedekah." and even after she died, I have not taken the juice yet. My mom told me yesterday that the bottle of juices were already packed in plastics, waiting to be taken by me. The fact she was so persistent asking me to go back to my hometown ...

Assalamualaikum, Fifth semester, guys. Wow, I am half way there. This week, I saw many of my friends' convocation pictures on their social medias (yang amik diploma). I can't wait for that to eventually happen to me. But until then, I want to cherish every second of it all, with the people that I care about, whom I will not be seeing as much after we graduate (maybe not at all tsk). It is sad to think as such, but it is the reality. That is what I think of when I see their posts about their graduation. What else do I think about? How happy would my parents be, how relieved but at the same time scared would I be, because I will start a new life. Literally. Kak Long punya konvo bulan ni jugak. Minggu depan. Gosh, how I wish arwah nenek ada kat sini, tengok cucu first dia pegang ijazah. Al-fatihah untuk nenek.  Tadi scroll ig & dapat tahu a high school  junior yang muda 3 tahun daripada aku baru kahwin pagi tadi. Tiba2 rasa macam "hm, k wow". Betul la...

Assalamualaikum, It is the 4th week of the 5th semester. Next week ada 2 test. PA dengan MNT 2. Baru habis baca 2 lecture notes PA tadi. Roommate aku balik, nak basuh baju katanya. Untunglah rumah dekat *sarcastic smile emoji* Hari tu punya post duk cakap pasal fyp, kali ni pun nak cakap pasal benda yang sama. Bear with me talking about fyp for a year, okay? Memanglah masa cuti semester tu sv aku tak reply email. Naik sem, aku Jaz Zul jumpa sv. Dr puji sebab dia kata fyp students dia sebelum2 ni tak pernah approach dia dulu, masa cuti pulak tu, instead, dia yang kena approach diorang.  Tak tipu, aku rasa tenang lepas dapat jumpa dia. Bila dapat tahu yang fyp kitorang ni more to helping Master and pHD students Dr. Bila dengar Dr explain yang most of the data had been collected. Memanglah tak dapat rasa sangat data collection tu macam mana, tapi at least takdelah rasa macam hidup tak teratur sangat setahun ni. Lagi satu, Dr suruh kitorang publish paper. I admit th...

Assalamualaikum, In a few days, my semester break of 3 months will be over. It is always intimidating to start another new year as a degree student because you know what to expect, but then things will never go as planned, but you planned ahead anyway.  It's 7.54 p.m. and oh the rain is getting heavier outside. Fisha tengah membebel kat bawah. Sampai bilik aku kat atas ni pun boleh dengar haih budak ni. I'm scared. Final year project ni menakutkan sangat. Baru sekarang nak menyesal sebab tak betul2 fokus masa biostatistik dulu. I mean, I did focus in class tapi entahlah. Sebab memang tak minat research stuffs, the subject was not interesting to me. More of a bore. Lagi2 sebab ada perkataan 'statistik' tu. Why lah kena ada final year project ni? Hm.    I was trying so hard to try and read more journals, but my procrastination got the best of me. Esoklah aku baca. Tengok2 esok aku buat benda lain. Okay2, esok. Ehh, malas pulak. Kisahnya sampai habis cu...

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...

Assalamualaikum, I am currently enjoying my semester break. About 1 month left until I need to start my third year of Bachelor's degree. Is trying to savor the moments despacito. Hahah, okay I'll stop.  One day, after finishing the last paper for 3rd semester's finals, me and 7 of my friends had a lunch at a cafeteria in UPM. While eating, we talked and suddenly one of us had an idea, we should go on a holiday together. So, we sort of discussed about where to go on that holiday, when, who is in charge etc. When we finished our lunches, we had established a mini organisation consisting of a President, an Asst. President, two Treasurers, Transportation Committee, and Accommodation Committee. That was the start of this trip planning. After much Google-ing and reviewing, we decided to go to Pulau Redang. So, those who were responsible for the booking of hotels and flight tickets did their work all through the semester. Our fourth semester could not pass by any slow...
