Student Life

Salam readers :)

I just got back from KLCC. Two of my friends from school, Mujahid and Malik invited me to join them to go there for lunch and watch a movie! We had lunch at Burger King and it was fantasticly delicious! One of the best fast food restaurants ever. The portion is so much that even until now (11pm) I'm still feeling full! After lunch we immediately went to TGV cinema there and watched TRON: Legacy! OMG the movie was awesome!! The actors were amazing and the special effects and graphics and all were outstanding! The 2 hour-long movie was worth it :) Then after the movie we just don't have any idea where to go to next. So we checked out the Harley-Davidson shop right next to the cinema. We saw a big 1580CC superbike! Radical!!

Then a sudden thought came to my mind. I actually already thought of it for a long time that i want to buy myself a camera. I used to have a camera phone buy my phone was stolen -.- And i want a decent digital camera so that I can record my journey of life in pictures because memories won't last forever inside our brains. Capturing pictures of the moments we love.. and when we see it in the future, it will make us say that, "Ohh.. those were the days.. sweet times..... ;)" And also i can post more pictures in my blog!

Ok so we didn't survey a lot of stores for the camera, I just decided that i want a Canon camera because... Canon's the best camera brand I believe! My sister used to have a canon digital camera! So we went to the Canon store and got my eye hooked on the IXUS 105 that was on display. Its price is right at the peak of my budget line hehe. So i asked the salesgirl about the features and all. It was a 12.1mp digital cam with 4x optical zoom. A very decent digital cam. But it didn't take me too long to decide that I WANT IT! Yes i'm very bad at shopping. So she asked me which colour do I want. There were 5 to choose from, I can only remember 4, pink, white, light blue and this brown-ish black. So i asked the guys which one should I choose. And of course, they say that i should go for the pink -.- What a waste of time asking for their recommendation -.- So I just chose the brown-ish black colour!

This is the one! Exact model and colour that I chose!

Then she went at the back of the store to get the camera that i wanted and not for long she came back with the box and some other stuff. She said that i was supposed to get a free IXUS recycling bag but it was out of stock so i got a free mini tripod instead! Alhamdulillah i think that i won't even bother if i got the freaking recycling bag! But a mini tripod yeah!! Then she showed me the 4GB SD card, the battery, the cables and those stuff and i asked her to show me how to use this device because this is my first time ever having my very own digital camera! So she explained briefly about all the functions like flash, macro, zoom and ISO stuff. And then she handed the camera to me to give it a try. So i shot some pictures of Mujahid, Malik and myself!

The three of us! From left, me, Malik our Sudanese friend from highschool and Mujahid the random white guy  xD The salesgirl took this photo using my new camera. The quality's good isn't it xD

Then i made the payment using my UIA student card which is also my Muamalat ATM card. Yeah i'm paying using my scholarship money. No scholarship = No money to buy camera :( She was quite skeptical at first, looking at the student card. Then she flipped the card and saw the word MEPS written at the back of it and she said, "OK, let's give it a try". She asked me to come to back of the counter and key in my pin number to that 'device' where u insert the card in and then press the green button. Amazingly it works! The amount that i have to pay is directly deducted from my savings account! Technology these days will bring u wonder :)

Then she loaded all of the camera stuff into a small brown canon recycling bag and handed it to me and said Thank You and wished me New Year! So i smiled and replied back to her nicely :) I left the store happily and my smile maintained even on the way walking back to the LRT, in the LRT, in Mujahid's car until my house :)

My smile :) Hair's a bit messy though :/

Now i got a new camera!! I'm so excited! I just finished installing the product cd on my laptop and i transferred the pictures that i took throughout the day. Now i'm charging the battery for 8 hours. I thank Allah for giving me the opportunity to buy this camera. One of my biggest achievement in life xD For the first time i bought an item which costs me this much using my very own cash! I'm not a small boy anymore ok mama and abah!

Ok now i wanna get some sleep. Been quite a day :) Salam and thanks for reading :)

Yeshh.. I'm finally home. The last time i went home is 4 weeks ago. So that makes 4 weeks my longest record of not-going-home so far as i'm a student in cfs :D This is also my second time going back home during this semester. Yeah2 so some of u might say, "4 weeks only?? I never went home even once during this whole sem!!". Well I happened to live in Ampang which is only 30-45 minutes from Nilai!! So that's my best excuse for my frequency of going home :)

Owwkay.. so in this post i want to tell u why on some weekends i go home and why some weekends i prefer to stay at campus.

At Home

1. Family. Yeah obviously home is where family is. My mom, brothers and our maid who have been with us for almost (or over) 15 years i believe. Nothing's better than spending time with my family :)
2. My cats!! I love my cats! I have five of them. Everytime i go home, they will come to me, jump on my lap and expect me to cuddle them. If u show love and affection to animals, they will show love and affection to u :) 
3. Free and High-speed internet! Yup i'm talking about Streamyx. Of course when i say free i meant there is no cost for me using it :) Comparing than when i have to pay RM10 for 18 hours of slow Murni Hotspot :/ At home is usually where i download movies, watch youtube, chatting, play online games and all other.. internet... stuff...

There are lots more reasons why i like to stay at home like meeting with friends, etc, but i'd like to keep this post nice and short :)

At Campus

1. Studies. This is the major reason why i prefer to stay at campus. This is where i study, revise, read and do assignments. Don't expect me to open my books at home because there are too many distractions at home, for me that is. Some people prefer to study at home but i really don't get them. Sorry >.<
2. The feeling of being independent. Yeah at campus, u're away from ur family, u're economically independent for the weekends, U got to buy your own food, do your own laundry and stuff like that. And i kinda like being independent because u're not gonna stay with ur family for the rest of ur life right?

Ok. I have to admit that i don't have any other reasons for staying at campus besides these 2 reasons.. But we are students right? Studies have to be our no.1 priority at this time :) After i have completed this sem i will be having holiday for HALF A YEAR! I will enjoy my stay at home during that period. Just a few more weeks of study pressure and then I'm freeeeeee!!

Ok bye. Salam. And thanks for reading :)

I am now enjoying a hot cup of Maggi curry flavoured because Alhamdulillah I am left with only one more mid-term paper! Just finished Maths 2 paper a few hours ago. It's not as easy as the exercises in past year questions, but its bearable :) I managed to answer all the questions. I was stuck at answering this one question!! I took like 15 minutes staring at it! At the last minute before the exam finishes, it struck me. Oooo. It requires the knowledge of conjugating the fraction so that the square roots at the numerator can be removed! YEAH I'm nerd! That method never crossed my mind until the last minute of the exam -.- Maybe Allah is trying to tell me something. Maybe its because i always perform my prayers late, hence the Ilham too comes to me late.. Oook don't need to believe in that.

Economics paper last Monday was Oww Kayy... No seriously. Easier than i imagined it. And i was a bit relieved because right after the exam finishes and we have submitted our papers to the front, a lecturer lent the ANSWER SCHEME to my friend who is sitting in front of me. He peeked through the paper so i wanted to peek too! Then i asked the paper from him and he gave it to me. I looked through the answers for MCQ and Alhamdulillah! I got 9/10! Our mcq for this paper carries 2 marks each. So that already assures me that i at least have gotten 18/40 for the econs mid-term paper. Yeah!! I didn't have time to look at the rest of the answers because the lecturer already wanted the answer scheme back :(

Understanding Islam last Monday was kind of a pain in the N-E-C-K! And i thought Economics was my weakest course this sem. But this paper made me feel that UI is the toughest course!! The MCQ part was ok... but the TRUE and FALSE part!! We didn't just have to write if the statement is TRUE or FALSE, but we also have to justify it! It was already hard trying to state if the statement is TRUE OR FALSE!! Haih.. Just wish me all the best with this course guys..

Accounting is a bit relief. Its one of our earliest mid term paper. So my group have gotten back the results!! and Alhamdulillah i got 53/60 (86%). Two girls share the highest mark of 87% Damn!! A little bit more.. I'm not worrying much about my accounting because i already learnt most of our accounting syllabus in English during my high-school.. Accounting is just like revision to me here at cfs.. Weee~

My last paper tomorrow is going to be Computer 2 practical. My venue will be at Lab 2 at 3.15pm. Computer 2 is a privilege only to Econs students hehehe. And i think it is way easier than Comp 1. Comp 1 requires a lot of reading and memorising.. Comp 2 is more to hands-on stuff. I like! In Comp 2 we only work using MS Office Access 2007. Doing database stuff. Quite simple because i already learn using Access in high-school as well. The mid-term for computer 2 comprises of two papers, written and practical. Practical is going to be on tomorrow. We already did written last 2 weeks and my group have gotten back the results! I'm proud to say that i got the highest in class of 54/60!!! Hahahah i'm so happy!!

All right. I have finished my Maggi Hot Cup and my throat is feeling sore. You know that feeling you got in your throat when u drank the Maggi Curry soup too much? Yeah that one. Ok i got to go do a bit more exercise on computer. Wish me all the best. And Happy Holidays to all my CFS friends!! Most of my friends are already celebrating their mid-break  -.- Only a few econs students who are graduating this sem have Comp 2 tomorrow. Oh well. The good thing is we're going to graduate before u guys! HAHAHA!! Ok Bye. Salam :)

Salam all. I had quite an adventure last night. I wanna write a post about it but apparently i don't have the time to.. This coming week is going to be a busy one. I still got some unfinished assignments and 3 more mid-term papers need to be done.. Maybe i'll write a post about last night during our mid-break later.. Sorry >.<

Salam all. We'll we be having our last rehearsal in a few minutes so i'm gonna write this post quick. Tonight i will be playing the keyboard for a nasyid group named 6:30. Yup, 6 pillars of iman and 30 Juz of the Qur'an. The members of this group are students of cfs just like me. They have really good vocals :O Tonight will be the finals and the winner will get a cash prize!!

Pray and provide us a lot of du'a for this competition. This will be my first time performing in front of an audience hehe :) I'm quite anxious and excited. OK that's all. Thanks guys :)

I have a hidden interest. I like to play music. Currently i can play the keyboard and guitar. Decent skills on the former but only basic skills on the latter..

I started playing the keyboard during Form 3 i believe.. My elder brother started playing the keyboard first and as i listen to him playing it, the nice rhythm and all, me myself got interested in playing the keyboard! So i started playing it and my bro teaches me a bit too but mostly i learn by myself.. That's why u have the Internet right?? U can find enormous amounts of tutorials and guides to play musical instruments on the net. I never go to music classes nor pay for any.

Oh wow tonight became really unexpected. I volunteered myself to be in a Nasyid group. At first i was chosen to play the guitar but then they found out that i was better at playing the keyboard so i ended up playing the keyboard while a 2nd year senior plays the guitar. What do u guys expect? Me vocals?? Bluek.. He also happens to be the leader of the nasyid group. The training just now was good. I already know most of the chords that i'm going to play for their song. And its great :D

There will be a Nasyid competition this saturday. And there will be a cash prize for winning the competition!! I was kinda angry because i was shortnoticed.. but its ok.. I'm kinda anxious actually :X This will be the first time i disclose my musical talents in front of an audience. I play music more because of a personal interest. I never once thought that i would be performing in front of an audience @.@

I don't want music to interfere with my career.. I wanna be an Islamic Financial Planner insyaAllah. Music is just a side interest. U know.. things u do when u get bored or during your free time.. Oh or maybe i could be a part-time musician?? Hahahahah......

Aduhh.. pinggul cramp.. tapak kaki melecet.. Tapi memang puas and worth it ahh..

My first mid-term paper which is QKM2243: Accounting 2 will be held in less than 4 hours!! And i still have the time to write a short blog post! Heheheh.

Aku tau lah yg aku ni x sepandai mana.

I want to share with u guys a story.
