Here it goes again.

8 semester worth of studying. 3 semester of foundation, 5 semester of undergraduate.

Here i am. Facing the end of another semester.

One more step, 7 more days, 4 more papers.

Countless effort.

May we have the best luck for this exam tomorrow, and the paper after it until the end.

Bismillahirrahmanirahim.

feels like...

Hi, hope you guys been in a pink of health this festive season.

*sigh*

Despite having the "time of my life" now, studying for my final, i was a little heart break just now. and why is that. Well, here's the story.

My day started as early as 5 a.m. in the morning.

Today is gonna be my first day of puasa 6, so  need to take my sahur so that i can have enough energy to study all day long. and not until 8.30 a.m that i went to IRC(library) to do my revision for the final exam. But along the way, i got caught with the project report that i have to submit, just 30 minutes after i get to the library. So because i'm a good leader :p i took the responsibility and finished compiling, binding and sending the report to our supervisor. By the time i got back, it was already 11a.m. and i've only done 30 minutes worth of revision.

So i get to my favorite spot near the end of the left side, 2 floor above the security counter. and i spend about 3 more hours until about 2.30 p.m and then i decided to leave since i'm tired and it's prove to be useless to stayed any longer. and the rest is history. Games, movies, and then breaking fast and so on.

So what's the problem?

If you notice, out of the 12 hours that i had, from 6 a.m up to 6 p.m, i've only dedicated only 4 hours for studying. and the rest of the 8 hours??? Gone? It's like it disappear, just like that. Like a wind. With no traces of memory, no traces of action that i can recall of. None of the matters.

It's like i really wasted a lot of time today.

and that's making me feel bad :(

but spending quality time writing this somewhat make me a little relief. Now that i know my mistake, tomorrow going to be a loooooong day for me. and InsyaAllah, i'll use up all the time i had to do revision.

Sa yo na ra.

Real definition of Hari Raya

It's not to late to wish a Happy Hari Raya Aidilfitri to all of you that despite having a time of your life, stuffing you face with kueh raya, rendang and what not.

So, hows Raya?

Mine was great. I've celebrate 1st of Syawal at my father hometown, all the way at the east of Malaysia at Jertih, Terengganu. Haven't got so many photo's that i take by myself, but don't worry, ill try to upload them later on :)

As for raya, this year a few thing catches my attention.



Oh my English!

Yea i know the show is lame, but each time the kids open the tv for the show, i just can't get my eyes out of the way. Something about the show that is interesting, stupid and entertaining at the same time. and yes, it is quite educational. I've learn something watching this show. and the song by Liyana Jasmay is quite cute too (:

Kee-way RKV 200

I think it's already time for me to actually own a vehicle for myself. I've waited so long, then the desire is lost. Then i found it again, then lost again. Maybe due to the fact that buying a vehicle is a serious thing to do and yesss, it involve a lot of monehhhh, which obviously im short off.

and because the price of this little bastard is way cheaper than the likes of Yamaha and Kawasaki, it managed to get on the list. But since it's new and not yet out in the market at the mean time, i should just laid back, relax and wait for people to review it. and money didn't just fall of from the sky. lol.

Final Exam

*shrugs*

My final exam will start on 1st of September and ends at 7th of September * shoots *  So i am now in a serious phase of focusing on the final exam papers, all 4 of them. And i have about 6 days to cover a whole semester worth of  material and Alhamdulillah, all the required preparation has been done. (hope so) Neeewayyy, wish me best of luck for this final. Although this is the last hope of securing a great CGPA for my internship application, i didn't hope much. But of course i'll do my best to get atleast more than 3.00!!!


So that's it for now. I might be still active blogging these few days, but hopefully i'll spend more time writing note than a post. hahaha.

It went better than expected.

Alhamdulillah, I've managed to overcome one of the most hectic, most tiring, most difficult week I've experienced in my life in UTP. 2 Test, Project reports, and 3 presentation. All in 2 days time. It's crazy. Trust me. Even up to this point, i haven't had my sleep yet. And last time i slept was yesterday evening. I woke up few minutes before breaking fast. and breaking fast is no longer than an hour from now.

Anyyyyyyyway, gonna be heading home ETD about 10 p.m tonight, then after settling for some time, will continue on to my father hometown at Jertih, Terengganu. Hope the road is not busy and jammed, so that we can arrive around noon. Just nice for a nice evening nap with the Kampung environment. hehe

Wish me a safe journey, home and back. May the Almighty blessed this journey. (i wish the same for you too. )

Now that i have some space to breathe, let's turn that Raya Song already!!

1 more miserable day.

So hectic.

So stressful.

Just one more day O'Allah.

Give me strength to overcome this.

2 presentation, a replacement test and a report to be submitted.

Bismillah.

Hectic hectic

Good Saturday!

Today was a little to unproductive. Why so? because it's 3 in the evening and i just happen to wake up from my deep sleep. zzzz.

Just fyi, next week i wont probably write anything here since i will be pretty much occupy with stuff. Hmmm. Let's see, 2 test, 3 projects, 1 final report. All cramped into next week. *dies* and all to be done last minute(like usual. haha) *dies again*

Anyway, will be starting my holiday on 16th August and will be probably back to the campus on 26th or maybe 27th. Depending on when i'm coming home from my hometown. and this year i'm going to celebrate Raya at my father kampung, at Jertih, Terengganu. hooray for a long trip back to hometown :D

So that's all peeps. Happy assignment'ting and early Hari Raya to you!


p/s: Still haven't got the time to shop for Raya.okayguy.jpg

Silver lining.

What a tiring day is today. Didn't managed to break fast on time because fall asleep right after closing ceremony ended.

****

Alhamdulillah, SEDEX 30 already end by the closing ceremony this evening. and guess what? My team managed to secure a silver medal!!!! It wasn't in my expectation to receive any medal since we are competing with far more superior projects which truly is magnificent in term of innovation. Now i know, each and every participant(group) that are chosen from ETP will have medal. But the result from the judge will determine whether it's Gold, Silver or Bronze medal you'll take home.

Although i target gold medal earlier in the semester, i'm already satisfy even with this Silver medal. At least we can give something to our supervisor, Ir. Idris for all his help and guidance. (and maybe this will help in getting good placement for internship maybe? hehe)

Special thanks to all the member of Group 47, Fong, Aida, Mien, Hariz and Khaled for all your effort and time in making this project a success, as a team.

On the side note, im glad that you decided to write again Izzatul.( wanted to comment on the blog, but cannot find any button for comment -.-) May you find what you're looking for.



p/s: will upload more photo. Soon.

SEDEX oh SEDEX!

SEDEX stands for Science and Engineering Design Exhibition, an event that first introduced in 1997, as a platform for student of UTP to showcase their creative innovation and projects. Happening twice a year, this semester SEDEX is the 30th installment. Which means it's been 15 years since it's started :O

So yeah, i've managed to get into SEDEX. Just what i hoped in the early of the semester. Although throughout the semester, with studies and Robocon in mind, i've lost my interest in this exhibition. Even until the day of evaluation, we are pretty much occupied by test and such, we didn't focus much on the presentation.

But Alhamdulillah, we managed to secure a position in the top 30 of the overall 80 teams that fight for the postition. Maybe it's pure luck, maybe it's because we deserve it, maybe because of both.

Well, my team project is simple actually. We make a device that can cool the interior of the car when the car is parked under direct sunlight. You know how weather in Malaysia right? So hot. So that each time you want to get into your car, you need to wait for quite some time before getting in due to the excessive heat inside the car, and also due to chemical particles airborne from the dashboard and such.

my group project, Chill Zephyr :p

Although i didn't really anticipate to compete in the competition, we are lucky to get in nevertheless. The result will be out tomorrow. Whether it's Gold Medal, Silver, or none at all i don't really mind. Because we have tried our best with this project, and as a team leader, im already satisfy with this achievement :D

Come to our booth to see the real thing!

It's kind of a funny story.

I just done watching this movie, despite having a test tomorrow evening. But luckily I've prepared early. So i give myself a little leisure time while others is having difficult time fighting their laziness just to finish reading notes that are coming out  for the test tomorrow.

Anyway, the title is It's Kind of A Funny Story, out in 2010. Yeah i know it's already 2 years since it came out, but maybe because the story isn't really what i was always looking for.(I'm always looking for action and depressed sad love story btw)

And to sum up, it's a story of a teenage boy, struggle with his life of teenager, you know, crap like love, college entry, future jobs and also peer pressure. And this boy, volunteered  into a Mentally-ill ward. Along with many other nut-head that are stuck in there. And from there he learn how to stand up again, to face the world.

I tell you, it's a good movie. Especially for adolescent. and there's the super lovely Emma Roberts too :3

Yeah, definitely have to check it out.

and here's some of my personal favorite piece of OST from the movie. Enjoy.

Difficult part of growing up.

We all grow up at some point of our life.

This already my third year studying for my degree. At this certain point it seems that the joy and fun of being a teenager is slowly to decrease. Bit by bit. Swallows by the burden of pile of assignment and projects that are needed to be completed in short amount of time. At some point we stop having fun together.

This semester alone, i've only went for a movie outing only once. The most is twice. Not more than that. When we were on our first year, going out to Ipoh is like a weekend must-do list. Now it's difficult. It's troublesome. We are all busy. Too busy i think.

***

We'll today is Nuzul Quran and an official holiday here in UTP. This morning i took a stroll around the campus. It was nice, the weather. It's a typical Monday morning where the sun is up, yet the atmosphere felt so cold down to the bone. Luckily i managed to strap on my favorite Giordano sweater before heading out.

The campus is truly beautiful. But after some time, we all lose that sight toward our campus. Only the negative thing about the campus came out. The politics. The bad people in the society. and so on. Oh how i wish to go back to the simpler version of life, 3 years ago.

3 years ago when we are still teenager who will just go with it.

Just Go With It.

Dream

This morning is the second time i've dream of cuddling and having a nice chit chat with a girl, and i assume its my girlfriend? Because in reality i don't have any. But in my dream just now, she is flawless like i would imagine my ftre second half would be. and It was good. Maybe because i never had a girlfriend before, i might not have that feeling. haha silly.

But, maybe this is a way Allah wanted to say to me, wait for it, your time will come. and as i woke up to the sound of my alarm clock, i've smiled like a little boy on his birthday, eagerly wanting to open the present box.
 
Dream could be sweet.

Too sweet sometimes :)

How does this story ends?

Can we all agree that living a life as a teenager is hard? Yet, the transition state from a teenager to a grown up, responsible and matured grown up is even difficult.

Especially if you are me. Someone with a decent social skills, decent intelligence level, more or less decent in every way.

Meh, at some point you start to become decent and without you knowing it, you become normal to the world. Someone who would not stand up among the crowd.

and that what's been happening to be these few month.

*Sigh*
