never think that ur COMB is ur best friend!

ok. don't panic. i can do this. it's just a matter of twisting it to the right and voila, everything will be back to normal....

ughh.....

this is harder than i thought. hurm... let's try with the hair dryer. it might help the hair to untangle.

tik tok tik tok.... the time is ticking but the big amount of hair is still stuck to the hair brush... huwaaaa~ i feel like giving up...

it all happened when i offered to wash my mother's hair, and also to dry it up... well, trying to be a helpful daughter... that's what i thought, at least! but somehow, when my mother tried to teach me to use a comb while drying the hair, some of my mother's hair got stuck on the comb's brush.... fuhh~ it was a real mistake to think that it's not a big deal... after almost half an hour, and still not a sign of success, my mother almost wanted me to just cut off her hair...

oh no no no... i won't let that happen mummy!

thus, with such difficulties and lots of conditioner involved, i somehow managed to let the hair off the hook!! huh!!! that was such a relief!!!

hurm... at the end of the day, we really had a great laugh.... well, i really had my lessons! never to play with combs ever again...!

only GOD knows

one news after another... just before i went to bed yesterday, i was shocked to know that my friend from primary school was admitted to hospital... as i read the sms, i remembered well enough that he had some serious problem concerning his health... due to the problem, his studies were affected too... from what i can recall, he was a bright student, and he shared the same birthday as mine... 26th november... he didn't miss to wish me through testi and he also mentioned something on the famous people who were born on 26th november... he was also one of those who actually care to read and leave some comment in my blog, which i personally think has boosted my spirit in composing more blogs... hurm, a lot more memories hit me before i could close my eyes...

this morning, i was still hoping that he would be healthy again.... but.... everything is in Allah's hand... i received another sms from lukman, telling me that he is no longer breathing in this world.... all that i could say was... innalillahiwainnailaihirajiun....

seriously, i will miss him....hope everyone can pray for him too... ya allah, kau cucurkanlah rahmat ke atas roh sahabatku ini.... jadikan lah dia daripada golongan yang beriman dan bertaqwa... amin....

7 ThInGs why i find japan is InTerEsTinG! hehe...

free tissue papers are everywhere! they give you tissue papers as a way to promote or tell you something. hurm, it is rather creative, but do you really think that people actually read the papers that go along with the tissue papers, instead of just dumping the irrelevant stuff into the dustbins? well, it is a good thing for me actually. i don't have to spend my money on them anymore! i can get them for free, and whenever i need one. yippee~ well, the only problem is now my school bag is already full with those stuff! waaa~ i guess i can open a business selling tissue papers starting from now on...

6.

i feel like i am beginning to be more concerned towards the environment. well, who doesn't when the system of rubbish throwing is soOo systematic. i mean, i can even differentiate between combustible and non-combustible things. wow! that is a real success for me! i even have this feel of guilt when i accidentally throw some rubbish NOT into their respective baskets. it is like the sorry feeling towards those working at the rubbish department, who would have taken some extra time separating the trashes once again. hurm... not only i am an environmentalist, but i may be a humanist too!

5.

since it is already the end of june, we can feel the changes on the temperature. it is getting higher and higher that i get the feeling as if i am already in malaysia. yeah, good feeling! however, it is funny looking at people bringing along their umbrellas up and down, almost everywhere. actually, it is not something weird to use an umbrella when it is not raining, especially during summer. but i find it is kinda funny for them to use the umbrella even when we can see no sun. such as on cloudy days! hey, the sun is not even there, and it is also not raining. hurm, when i start to think of it once again, oh well, they might just want to be fashionable. their umbrellas are actually pretty cute and trendy. (maybe i'll  consider of getting flowered pattern umbrella myself! ^_^)

4.

they have some weird but interesting gadgets! on the very first day we arrived at chiisan hotel, somewhere in a rural area of osaka, we were shocked to see how wonderful their toilets were. it is not like the toilets in malaysia are not impressive enough or anything, but it's just how excited we were to see the modern toilets. they were fully automatic and they had a 'musical button' with them. it even had the volume control button. oh, how cool! do they put radio in the toilets? yeah, how lame of us to think of that. we finally found out that the button was just to control the sound of the flush. if you want the sound to be louder, just increase the volume. i can't see any sense of them inventing such thing. why  do they even need such gadget? do they need it to cover.... oh, wait a minute! i think i am starting to get it! heheheh... you guys, start guessing!! ;p

3.

people here tend to have this , i-am-not-bothered kind of attitude. well, not exactly everybody, but i can say, 90% of them here, which is quite a big number, have that attitude. they are not really bothered when people actually drop something, or even come late during class. they won't even take the slightest glance to those kind of people. just imagine in malaysia. if you were to drop your pencil case and a big sound went, bang! i am 100% sure that everyone in the class including the teacher will turn their heads around just to take a look at what just happened. and same goes if there were to be late comers. but this situation doesn't seem to apply in japan. you might just snore in the class and i bet you that nobody will even bother!

2.

guess what, every hour seems like rush hour here. people are running like nobody's business just to catch the train or just to cross the road so that they won't miss the opportunity. personally i find it is a good thing! it really shows how serious they are about being on time. however, it is not like the end of the world or anything if you miss the train or the green light. the transportation here is really convenient and undeniably punctual. we can have trains in every 3 to 4 minutes.heheh.. but it is funny when i find me, myself running when seeing other people running. yeah, run girl! run! good form of exercise anyway! ;p

1.

the attention you will get from the people here if you wear a tudung. you shall get a lot of stare everywhere you go. in the train, in a restaurant, in the toilet, or anywhere else. just name it! most comments come from small children. it is interesting and funny at the same time, seeing small innocent looking children look at you with weird expression and start asking loudly to their mothers on things like, 'mom, why do they wear that thing(the tudung)? don't they feel hot?' hahahahah!! and their mothers will give them a warning look and turn back to us with sorry faces and start apologizing. neh, don't be sorry. not a big deal, really. i feel like a celebrity walking with many people looking. hey, you won't get that much of attention in malaysia! how lucky of me to actually experience this! if you cross a street with all the cars waiting, you might just want to do like what i feel like doing. yeah, put a broad smile and confidently walk like a model! everyone in the cars is actually looking! ^_^

BeCaUsE i Am LuCky

when we were small, we didn't know what the world is like. what the world is going to serve us. but i was lucky, i had someone there for me, to tell me the rights and wrongs and to teach me about life.

when we were 7 years old, it was the first time ever to be in school.  many people were not confident in themselves. will the people except us the way we are? and will we manage to make friends with the others? well, people had a lot in their minds. but i was lucky, i wasn't scared. i had him by my side to tell me that everything is going to be fine. just be myself and take things easily. i smiled, accepted his words and thanks to him, i managed to face the world.

everytime people feel that life is difficult, they might just cry. if i ever i do, i don't cry that long because i am lucky. i know he will surely come to me and show how easily things can be handled. he  always reminds me never to be manipulated by the situation, but i, myself must be smart in manipulating the situation back. i hold on to his words and i am still surviving till now. ^_^

sometimes, when people feel the world is against them and they have been taken granted for, they will crack and break down. but i am lucky, that i have him to hug and console me. and after that, i will surely feel a lot better. i shall never crack because i know i have someone who is never to take me for granted.

when people fall sick, sometimes they might be weak enough to give up and have no desire to live any longer. but i am lucky i never felt that way. i have never given up, but instead, i am always looking forward to live a good life because i know, he wants me to have the best out of everything.

it is true. i am proud to tell world that i am lucky!!! I AM VERY LUCKY to have him a part of my life. he is always there for me and make me proud to be myself. he has never given up in giving me the best. yes, there is no other than him. it is of course, my GREAT FATHER!

he is the greatest father anyone could ever wished for... to ayah, i love u soOo much... i dedicate this blog for u, wishing u HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! MUAH2!!!! ^_^

 

*PInG PonG! *

hahahaha!!! we just started playing ping pong. well, just for fun actually... since it is free, and also a form of exercise, we find it good for us! hurmm... it was our third time playing it and we just wanted to get the pleasure of perspiring... and i feel it is kinda boring spending the time by myself in the room in the evenings...

after getting the ping pong bats and balls, we went to the gymnasium. as usual, there was loy, the girl from palau. she was on the bicycle, exercising. after a few minutes of playing, loy left us and there we were. playing happily without disturbance from anyone else. we played as we liked without being so fussy with the rules. well, the moment didn't last long. while enjoying the play, suddenly a chinese man came in, bringing along ping pong sets too. owh! we got company..!

but since he was alone, he used the trackmill and we continued playing... lalalala~ how nice to move around... and suddenly, another chinese man came in. and one man from poland. and not forgetting a man from indonesia. what??? and there's only one table ping pong! gosh! and they were all sitting on the bench and looked at our amateur style of playing. ahahahha... at first we were not bothered(kejam) because we were only started playing. normally we play a lot more longer.

hurm... but after a while, guilty conscious struck myself. 'come on afiqah, don't conquer everything yourself. do share with others!!!' aaaaa~ ok, so, as a good kaikanmate(err... housemate...?) we gave way to them and i passed my bat to the poland man... (heheheh... memilih orang gak... ;P). just as i sat on the bench, the four of them played doubles and it was hard even to blink my eyes. they were goOoood!! i'm telling u this! they were really really good!! at that very moment i felt myself becoming tinier and tinier and tinier. malunye~ tadi depa tengok kitorang main!! huwaaa~~

however, i really enjoyed looking at their games.  and i even helped them counting the scores.. hahahha... berguna gak! after a few while, i felt like going on the trackmill, so i did. while i was running steadily, yeay~ i noticed that they had finished playing. so they wanted to change pairs. one mongolian lady also just arrived, so she joined, and then they asked hanizah to play together. hanizah tried to reject and reject and reject again, but they kept on saying that is okay and it's just for fun.. heheh... i saw the incident, so i stopped the trackmill machine to see them playing.. but after a few hits, hanizah surrendered and passed over the bat to me... hehehe... (kachan segan)...

whoa~ even i myself isn't that good! somebody... help me out of this!!! ahahha... but just to mix around and fit in, i bravely played with them. they were really nice...!!! they taught me the rules and stuff! hey, it was cool!! i sensed that they played easy on me... heheh... i don't think there ware any smashes!! heheheh... thanks u guys~ the first game i partnered alex, from china. and the next game, i was partnered along with a man from... err... i am not sure myself where he comes from... huhuhu...

well, in all, it was a great experience for me!! met 10 new friends and they were indeed very friendly. they even asked us to join them again. from what edward told me, they play ping pong everyday~ waa~ should i go again? wahahaha... segan aah tak hebat... the people there were like state players! wahahahah!!! so damn good! i could hardly take the balls since they used some screw balls and chopped balls.. isk2.... i figure that there are a lot more things to learn about ping pong.... heheh...

Where am I?? Am i really in japan? come on people! help me out~

so it didn't rain. it turned out to be a sunny day. if only we didn't depend on the weather forecast, we would have already been to marina city... huhu... oh well, but luckily, hanizah and i had a backup plan. yeay~ the good day is not to be wasted after all! we spent our day in kobe town!! since it was saturday, the train was full of people. i really envy them since they were with their family members. a father holding his son's hand. a mother carrying her daughter and small children playing with their toys... huwaaa~ how i miss my family soOo much!!!

i am in japan but it seems like my soul is not here! everytime i do something, i always think of malaysia. when i went to kobe tower and and saw the lights, i can't help thinking of klcc and the lights of kl at night.. and when i entered a seafood buffet restaurant, i thought of port dickson! or maybe malacca! my family and i used to eat together at seafood resturants and had a great family time.. when i looked at the sea, kuantan's beach was right there in front of my eyes... even some musics keep reminding me of the past... hey, this is really disturbing man!!! i wanna live like normal people! (ceh, cam la dah gila... wahahah). not living in another world. sigh~

maybe i really miss malaysia and i miss my family soOo much!!! why is it still june? i hope it will be august soon. i really mean it, like, SOON! hurm... oh yeah, to malaysian prime minister, paklah! selamat pengantin baru~ semoga berbahagia di samping isteri tercinta..! proud to have you as our prime minister!! ^_^

no longer trapped in the room! yahoo~

i was getting so bored this evening that i wrote a blog entitled, 'trapped in the room'... but! i accidentally pressed the back button and forgot to copy the whole thing, so, everything that i wrote had disappeared!! waaaghhh!!!! how frustrating!!!!! all my hard work!!! (hard work ke... hehe)... so, to summarise what i had written, it's mainly about how dull my life was just sitting in the room without anything to do.... oh, before i forget, i am actually on 12 days holiday due to a spreading disease. hashika, which is just normal measles. the japanese teachers got so freaked out only because one of the students had the disease and the result of that, the whole university is closed! NOBODY IS ALLOWED to enter the university compound. even the libraries are closed! ugh.... it seems soOo ridiculous. in malaysia, demam campak seems so normal. tak cuak pun... heheh.. and now, we are getting the headaches thinking of the classes that should be replaced... later.... waaaa~ i guess this is the first time i don't like holidays... huwaa.... i wanna go home early...!!! please please don't take my summer holiday away from me... sob3...

urm... this sudden holiday really didn't give us enough time to plan where to go... initially, my seniors had planned on going to wakayama, marina city... but then, this afternoon, i received a message from my senior, telling me that the trip was canceled!!! whoa!!!!!!!!! the reason being, it is going to rain this saturday... grr..... the weather forecast here in japan is too advanced somehow!

okay, to get back to the topic... well, i was so bored just lolling in the room and playing with the computer... i guess i will vomit if i spend another day in the room, that i dressed myself up and grabbed my bag. the next thing i remember is being in a shopping complex in sannomiya. i felt better after trying on some clothes and looking at new stuff... hehehe... typical woman i guess! after an hour going around, i met haniza there and we went to the mosque together to perform maghrib prayer. after that, our interesting outing started!! yeay~

we walked to the streets that we have never been to. we saw the beautiful lights of kobe at night. and we even found a new restaurant that we can eat at... hehehe.... we had chinese dinner! yeay~ it was wonderful!! that was my first time having chinese food in japan.. yummy! next, we went to rokkomichi and went for billiard...! heheh... we played 2 games and after that we headed to the playground! huhuhu.... we really had a blast taking some pictures and at the same time looking at the japanese people having gatherings.

and our last stop was at an exclusive restaurant. we had dessert!! wahahaha.... yeah2... i know... it seems like i am always eating, right...? just couldn't control... wahahah.... well, actually, it was raining, so we looked for a shelter... and the restaurant was the best place!! wakakakak.... yeah2.... lame excuse! hurm... eventhough we had finished our dessert, the rain still didn't seem like stopping. and the clock showed that it was almost midnight.. what! we need to hurry back home! (sounds like cinderella, huh?)

without umbrella, we ran to the train station and we had to take a free magazine to cover our head from getting wet. in the train, i tried hard not to breathe. i really can't stand the smell of alcohol... ughhhh... at last, after got a bit wet on the clothes(luckily not on the head), we finally made it home! wahahahah.... it really was an experience! i was really glad to get out from this room of mine, and had some change. well, tomorrow is going to be another day. yeay~ another new experience can be gained! hopefully!!! ^_^

he makes my day from far!

even a few simple words can change our perception. even a short sms can brighten one's day. i totally agree with this! when i woke up this morning, i wasn't exactly in the finest mood(still morning i guess!). will it be a good, or just a fair day? i really couldn't tell. i switched the television on and there it was, the weather forecast. and from there, i knew it would be a gloomy day. sigh~ my mood really depends on the weather i guess.

just when i decided to put my head again on the pillow, i heard my cellphone beeping. 'ah, a message!!' i wasn't expecting any messages especially in the morning... i grabbed the phone and read the message in it. it was from my father. it was just a simple message saying that he misses me so much. i felt so good and he made me believe that he truly loves me. i am so proud to have a father like 'ayah'. (and of course, a mother like 'mummy' too! ^_^)

the message really made my day. just because of those simple words, i had a perfect smile on my face and i believe that it turned out to be one of the greatest days i have ever had. it was a successful day for me. ( well at least, our 1st experiment cooking a mee kari was a success! yeehaa! way to go girl!).

so, what i really wanna say here is... never hesitate to express your feelings even if you feel that it's nothing much. to other people, it might be everything! believe me, it does matter! muah2, love u ayah. love u mummy! miss u guys soOo much!

I AM A MALAYSIAN~

hyogo international house is the name of the place i am leaving right now. it's big and convinient and the train station is only 5 minutes walk from here! how lucky of me! (although the rent is ****** expensive---- 37000yen=rm1050.80).the thing i love the most is getting the opportunity to make friends with people around the world. before i came to japan, i really thought i'll forget my english since almost everything is in japanese here. however, i was wrong! i think i use more of english here, compared when i was in malaysia... (well, maybe!). in this international house, english is used widely. i make a lot of new friends such as from laos, philippine, vietnam, palau, romania, china, korea etc. we normally meet in the kitchen and also...ehem...at the gymnasium... hehehe... believe your eyes... i DO go to the gym sometimes..! they are very friendly that i forget to feel lonely! ;p

i also feel good at the same time introducing my country to other people. i come from  MALAYSIA! fuh~ it feels nice to be a 'duta kecil'. hehe... i'm doing fine, i guess! but it's so hard for them to get my name. well, normally when i introduce myself, they'll surely thought i said afrika! sigh~ so, to make it simple, i just say, urm... just without the 'r'. and due to that, they never forget my name ever since. hehe...

i think it's really getting hot here... i guess i am going out and have the special 3 scoops of ice cream... baskin robins is having an offer during this summer! yummy~ really can't wait to have my teeth on those delicious ice creams! ok, i am logging out right now! till then! \(^_^)/

JuSt FrIeNdS... Or ...

it's just not right. it doesn't suppose to be this way. after being friends for quite some time, the friendship shouldn't have ended just like (*snap*) that!

last week a couple of friends visited my friends and i in UM. actually that was the second time they went to 12th college but the first time they came, i wasn't around. luckily i had the chance to meet them the following day. the funny part was they didn't expect me to be there since they thought i was no longer in UM. sigh~ and they also informed me that many of my other ex-schoolmates thought of the same thing too. hurm... i wonder who had spread this weird news. so, attention please~ guys!! i'm still doing my foundation in UM with pekah, yatie n ema. please don't forget that ok! ;-'(

okay, to get back to the prologue, we shared a lot of new 'stories' that night. and i was shocked to hear that this particular friend of mine,A, had a fight with his very own best friend,B. they had been the best of friends since secondary school and it's pitiful that they had declared an end to their friendship. and do u want to know the reason why? owh... i'm sure u don't want to know... but the main thing here, it is INDEED very very sad not to be friends anymore with your beloved friends. is it true, that friends actually 'come and go'? if it is, u should put your fingers cross everytime you're making new friends. it is heartbreaking when one day u are very closs to each other and the next day u are just like complete strangers.

however, i cannot agree more when people say that this is actually a normal phenomenon. i feel sorry to those who treasure friendship so much and get really upset when their friends 'neglect' them just like that. especially in this kind of situation---> X likes Y more than friends, but Y just doesn't feel the same way. when X expresses his/her true feelings, Y rejects rather kindly(might also be harsh sometimes) and there goes their so called 'long lasting friendship.' Y wants them to be just friends, but X cannot accept it. it sounds familiar, doesn't it? it might had happened to ur friends, or maybe to urself.

in this kind of situation, normally people will feel sorry to X. which i feel the same way too. but, deep inside me, i really bleed for Y for losing such a good friend like X. well.. why? let's see.. it is very clear that Y has X to share everything with when they were still friends. but after this 'confession' incident, everything has changed. they might not be contacting via phones anymore, and not to mention in real life. if they do, it's just not the same. hurm.. a few fake smiles , maybe? frustrating isn't it? sometimes, people DO miss all the sweet memories created in the past. it doesn't matter whom they were with in those days. the utmost important thing is the things that they have gone through together.

i'm sure there WILL be someone who does not agree with me. but if u do care about ur friends, no matter towards the same sex or not, u will feel the same way i feel in this matter. i do hope that people can face it, and go on with life even after being rejected by someone. %#*!!owh, i have been craping a lot haven't i?! huhuhu... it really is heartbreaking to end a friendship because of a small matter. (yeah2 i know... it isn't as small as it seems... but oh well..~)

p/s: this has nothing to do with my friends, mr.A and mr.B. well, since they are both male ;p

till then! daa~

my new CRUSH *wink* ^_^

no way!! there is just no way that anyone could be unbelievably good looking! my god, he's drop dead gorgeous. i'm telling u this. no kidding man, i have never been so serious before. just look directly into his two little green eyes. and look at his style and attitude. man, i can't get my eyes off him... just..incredible..

well, maybe u all can already guess. this man is not anywhere near my house or my college. he is far far away from me. and, my life. to meet him, is just a wishful thinking. he's just one handsome actor, the hero from PRISON BREAK... the one and only... WENTWORTH MILLER.. the first time i looked at him, i automatically uttered these particular words:'ehhh... handsome nye mamat nih.. botak pun handsome gak!' okay, u can say anything that u want. such as: duh~ afiqah only has eyes for handsome young men. well, i don't really care.. since i think it's quite true... heehee.. really!

in this show, he acts as michael scofield, a very2 smart engineer who is so determined to take his brother out from the jail as he knows that his brother is not guilty in killing the vice president's brother. and i have finished watching the first season of prison break. hurm, specifically there were 22 episodes. or were there 23 episodes? urgh, just can't wait for the second season. my friends and i were seated patiently in front of my friend's pc this whole week. starting from 5.30 to 7.30pm. yikes, we can't even leave the chair even for a second because every second was so important to us. i personally think that to make this show needs a really smart guy. if u have been watching this show at tv, u should know what i mean. this boyfriend of mine here, is a damn intelligent guy, that he has never ran out of ideas. his love towards his one and only family he has, who is his brother, makes him going and he has never gave up. i adore his character so much. so so much.

i do hope that i can do the same thing for my family. anyone, it may be my father, mother, brother or my sister. they are the most important people in my life. no one else is more important to me right now. and there will never be one. (even this wenworth miller i'm discussing on).

sigh~ i shall miss him after this... i have no idea when the second season will be out. well, right now the utmost important thing to me is, my mid sem exam. it's coming in a week time. the first paper is on this coming friday, and the second paper will be continued on the following wednesday.

i need to make a move now. the football game is calling me. both teams look equally as good. ghana vs czechaoslovakia. gee... they are rough! hehe, it's funny when my sister couldn't believe her ears when i was actually talking about football while we were on the phone last nigt. well, only once in 4 years kak aini!! anyway, i can't wait to see u and abang back home in another two weeks time.. insyaAllah.. and... lastly, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY ayah!! it's already the 18th june... i love u soOo much. i want u to know that u are the best father anyone could have. mmuah2.

(^_^)end

going on with life~

after a month of holiday, all of us were back in UM... sigh~ just the thought of being in the class and studying everything, fully in japanese made me feel dizzy. oh god, please give me the strength to get going. however, when i remembered that we will be the senior, i got a bit excited. wow~ 'the juniors are coming, and i shall be the senior.' hehe.. it does sound a bit poyo... but who cares! my floor won't be as quiet as before, since our seniors had left us. ish, but guess what, NOW it's a bit crowded in the toilet, rebut ngan diorang pulak.. aiyoo~ satu hal lagi... ;p

hurm... being here in AAJ as a second year student is not as easy as i thought. gee... my weakness, which is to start learning by hard all the terms in japanese. shit! before this, i always heard people say: a word a day, duh~ it doesn't at all apply here.. it's like, 100 words a day?? chemistry terms, plus physics, and of course, KANJI. aaaghhh!! to make things worse, we have all kinds of quizes and tests, almost EVERYDAY. ugh... everynight is a torturing night for my head. yeay, let's cram everything in one head.

heheh.. but hey, i'm starting to feel more relaxed after a few days. i'm getting used to it. like my tour guide always said... slowly2... no rush.. no rush.. hurm, i'm starting to miss him already and feel like taking a flight to europe right now.. huhuhu.. poyos plak... i'm actually very satisfied with my current teachers. they are near excellent!! they really do know what they're doing. they make me understand, and sometimes much better than the malay teachers explaining in our own language. now i feel that learning is fun. i got the best physics teacher, the coolest maths alpha teacher, the most energetic maths beta teacher, and the most kind-hearted chemistry teacher. what more can i ask for? oh, not forgetting the... most interesting japanese teacher.. heheh.. love all the lessons!!

owh, i think i take too much time here with this laptop. i should have been studying for next week's chem and physic's tests.. what?? more testS?? hahahah... no worries! we are used to this kind of life! ^_^ really hoping that our juniors won't quit and stay put  in AAJ. really a big mistake if they turn down this scholarship. YOSH! GAMBARIMASHOU!!

the end of my 1st year in AAJ

9th of march 2006

exactly at 10.15 am, we ended our final examinations.. which also means, it's our last day as first year students.. that afternoon after the meeting in DKA with our teachers, jua, rifa, izuddin n i went to mid valley to buy some stuff for our class party.. yeeahaa!! we bought banana chocolate cake from secret recipe, took our order from pizza hut and bought some junk food + the plates and cups... rifa n izuddin who voluntered to follow us, were a big help at that time.. everything went according to plan and we made it to class at 5.40pm... (sigh~ actually a bit late from our initial plan)... but still earlier than Katsuda Sensei, who had a meeting with other teachers that evening.. the party started a bit late... at 6.10pm... we started our ceremony with candle blowing by Katsuda Sensei(going back to nihon in a few days), Tanibuchi Sensei(celebrating her birthday the following week), and jua(apsal name ko nih? hahah.. -celebrating her birthday the following day).

we had sate, pizza, banana chocolate cake etc etc... it was a really enjoyable party!!! seriously, no kidding! the most touching part was when Katsuda Sensei gave her speech and not forgetting the time when we gave her a big card... isk isk isk...

eventhough it was just for short period of time, we still had fun n enjoyed every moment we spent together that evening.. to all N4 students, i love u all and going to miss all of u!!! watashi tachi no koto ga wasurenai de kudasai!! muuuaaahhx to all...

^_^

MaLa CaMe To UM

24th of January, which was a Tuesday, Mala, my ex-dormate from science selangor came to visit pekah, yatie, ema n i here in UM. she slept with us in my room till friday. for 4 days and 3 nights, many things we did together that could refresh our memories in our beloved school especially when we were in f5. she came here after we had finished our lectures at 6.30 pm. thanks soOo much mala for bringing some pisang goreng and of course keropok lekor. it reminds me of the times when u bought us a lot of keropok lekor from ganu... waaa... miss those times... i want to sit in the middle of the dorm and eat keropok lekor with the rest of our dormates...

it was great to chat with u after a very long time u disappeared at KMK. seriously, it was pretty amazing that i didn't fall asleep in the class the next day eventhough i didn't have enough sleep... hahaha... i guess i was the one who talked a lot... u really are a good listener... thanks mala!! we did many things together for just a short period of time, didn't we?

-we shared many stories together

-we accompanied yatie to the clinic

-pekah n i taught u japanese

-we accompanied pekah for her practice(band)

-u followed us to the rehearsal

-u accompanied me to see mr. u-know-who

-we spoke with Add using pekah's phone n expecting him to visit us, but he didn't... sigh~

-took a lot of pictures together

-watched the finale for 'malaysian most beautiful' with my other friends

-it really was my first time to explore UM, n no doubt, i did it with u... haih... now i know where BSN is... heheh

-we went for tea and watched a chinese drama together

another great memory we had created, and i won't forget it for the rest of my life... u are always welcomed to come again to UM... also, thank you very2 much sebab sangat rajin mengemas our room... heheh.. n, sorry coz i was a bit ganas while sleeping.. heheh.. tak sedar!! saat2 terakhir ko kat UM tuh memang sedih ma... we were very reluctant to separate from each other.. if we had the choice, we didn't want to stop the taxi to pick u up... i would rather continue with our short 'video'.. hahahahah... pekah n i couldn't stop laughing when we watched it again.., memang aku salute ko aah... you're such a fast learner... i'm impressed because just in 4 days, many japanese words u have remembered and not only that, u actually remembered some of the AAJ student's name too!! wow!!! lets give a big hand to mala!!! hehehe.. mala, ii kotoba dake tsukatta hou ga ii yo! .....hontou des ka?.... hahahaha...

kay mala, if u happen to read this, just wanna say, i miss and love u soOo much!! muaahxx!!! peace out! p(^_^)q

 

My classmates of M1 in AAJ

On the orientation week, we, the RPKJ students, sat for an English test to determine our Tutorial classes. After the result was pasted on the bulletin board beside the office, I got to know that I was placed in M1 together with Ain, Hatta and Hairi my ex-classmates of N2. As planned, I sat beside Ain and she was the only person that I could talk with on the first day. I didn’t really know other people besides Ain, Hatta and Hairi since it was still the first month. I didn’t like this class at first because I kept on comparing M1 with N2. Obviously I love my classmates in N2. There are many interesting characters in that class such as Neng, Toy, Ain, Pae, SaFF, Haru and etc etc. Attending Japanese Class was my favourite moment at that time. And I just hated when tutorial time arrived. Answering the questions given from the tutorial question papers was also a good reason to be hated. However, as time passed by, and I got to know each and everyone in M1, I realized that I actually got the opportunity to make friends with the best people in AAJ. 25 people in a class with different kind of people and characters. From the most front to most back seats, each and everyone of them has a quality of their own. We don’t care from which part of the country we come from, we are assembled in one place and have the same mission, that is, together we fly to Japan and come back to serve our beloved country. Now, let me introduce the people of M1:

Adam- known him since small ; ) very quiet, the opposite of me… but diam2 ubi berisi.. I just love the way he recited the poem the other day. Ino- hyperactive ex-president of AAJ, friendly, and a very2 nice person…Ino, sedih because I haven’t been to ur house even though ur house was not far from mine, of course when I stayed in ttdi.. now, no more ttdi… Kamarul Arifin- loves to ask questions to the tutors, Roha’s jambu(from what I see… heheh) and the doa reciter of our class. Rahman- very quiet and has a very good innocent looking face.. sorry because I like to kacau u.. heheh.. jangan mare bro! ^_^ next, Hatta- yo man!! My ex-classmate of N2. very proud to have u in the class… best student for 2 times!! Not easy to be achieved!! Keep on studying u 1988 kid… hehe.. Eduan!! Lalalala… very tall and thin… has a nerdy look but don’t think u’re that nerd! Also, I would like to say sorry because, me and my other 2 friends, u know who, gile suke kacau ko… hehehe.. kinou!! I love the way u converse in english… surely u speak in English most of the time, right? Hey, thanks so much for helping me during lab time.. that day, thanks for sharing ur lab manual with me, and soOo sorry for accidentally taking back ur lab manual with me… Aaaa… tak perasan!! Heheh Faizal fikri: rarely talk with this guy here… from what I see, he’s an intelligent boy, really! He looks serious in his work.. I’ll kacau u one day!! Heheh… tungguuuuu… Megat: muga san!! Will be the MC for soubetsukai. With jannah? Hehe.. I remember having u in my group for ‘the apprentice’. Nice knowing u!! Rozainizam: the other person that I seldom speak with. He’s an intelligent person too!! Aghhh.. why are there soOo many intelligent people in my class huh?! Amar!! Ceh… nih mamat aa… he’s becoming noisier and noisier day by day… realized it especially after he became our class’ representative.. weyh, when are u going to give me a treat? U have promised me looooong time ago… tak abih2 asked for almond London from me… tak pe… just u wait~ harharhar Ri san! Li.. the only girl that give good respond during English class… thanks for being the life saviour.. hehehe… one day, I’ll join u k!! (ntah bile..) Didi@lidyana! Sarawak kara kimashita… Dewa!! Hehehe.. loves to call me nenek, besides li.. I love ur drawing… draw more often in my tapestry book aight? ^_^ Maya: a very hardworking girl… does all the tutorial by herself and can be very serious at times Aimi: I bet everyone in AAJ knows her.. has the cutest voice of all… no wonder everyone loves to tease her… Zatil!! Heheh… from her looks, she looks very quiet.. but hahaha… don’t judge a book by its cover… she can be very talkative… we can talk anything together… thanks soOo much for helping me a lot in studies- tutorials… ^_^ Jua: jua-san!! My deskmate in N4… ex-ssp, same as zatil… ceh, suke kutuk budak2 sains selangor.. really glad to have u as my buddy… u r just as crazy as me… huahuahua Ain-kechik: this cute lil girl… who is she? Hehehe… she sits beside me in M1… my very best friend in M1. Thanks 4 always being there… we can chit chat like nobody’s business.. sorry teachers!! It’s better to stay awake rather than to doze off in the class right? Heheh.. Haris: here’s another cute lil fella. Small yet so irritating… huhuhu… at first, memang tak boleh blah with this kiddo but now dah ok la… kuat merajuk, isk… loves to kick ain’s or my chair when he gets annoyed. Sorry dude!! Shazwan: haris’s best friend.. looks like dad n son when walking together.. shazwan, has a very sharp mouth… ouch, tajam!! Just talk to him n u will know… likes to ‘cari pasal’ with me… hahahah… I know I know… I was the one who started everything… Basha: aaaaa… really proud to have u in our class… dewa in physics! Not only physics, but also in other subjects! Basha, teach me will ya? Heheh.. hey, it’s nice to talk with u, especially with ur penang’s slang. Hairi: once, my classmate in N2.. looks quiet but can quarrel with me sometimes… wahaha… salute2… don’t bite any pencils again kay! Champton: also, Sarawak kara kimashita. Bidayuh? Heheh.. really good in English… I can say that puan nun looks high on u.. always gets highest mark in the small tests.. keep on talking in English, sounds weird when u converse in malay.. warharhar Lastly, mr zaidi: aaaggghhhh… this is Mariah Carey’s die hard fan.. almost everytime he holds a ‘kipas’ with him… panas ke pakcik? Heheh.. u really are the life wire of the class.. so does everyone else, but I bet it won’t be as exciting when u’re not around… huahuahua…

Hurm, I just love these classmates of mine. I just can’t imagine if we have to separate one day. All of you are the reason why I keep on staying in AAJ. Even though you guys keep on ‘kacau’ing me and things, I don’t really mind. Even though i had to read poem at the back of the class.. huh~ I also would like to take this opportunity to say thanks for everything. You guys rock!! This blog is dedicated specially to M1 students. Mmuuaaahhx to all!! ^_^

celebrating hari raya

RaMaDhAn in SmSsKl and UM... compare n contrast!

SaHuR, pUaSa, N bErBuKa In SaInS SeLaNgOr:

the best time ever!!!! even on spm week... heheh... thanks to my dormates yang best gile2... no matter how tiring the days were, we went through those times happily without thinking of anything which can make us feel down or sad...

sahur... woke up at 5 o'clock in the morning... without taking our shower... sarung je pape yang ade... n waited for each n everyone to get ready.. it wasn't that long!! yeah, it was not prep time where by everyone except me mayb, took a very long time to shape their tudungs... heheh... but 5a.m. in the morning was a different story.. nobody really cared about appearance... hurm... then, walking confidently, thinking that our faces were ready to face the world, we stepped out from our asrama.. n..., the best part was... our 'gelak segar'... hurmm... we laughed n laughed without any reason b4 we entered the dining hall... huhuhu.. that was just a strategy to keep us awake n to look 'fresher'.. heheh... n it actually worked pretty well... ssshh!! don't tell anyone about this secret k!! n while eating.. (with our ajinomoto n sambal belacan) we 'usha' the opposite sex n laughed together, seeing their lalok faces... memang muka tak mandi babe!

berbuka... the time to 'rebut' the best seats in dm... ceh, sometimes even the juniors dare to challenge us... hey, give some space to the super senior will ya? heheh.. poyos gile!! hehe... the food was okay... takde la tak sedap... quite nice gak... pekah! don't forget ur favourite food.. dm's kurma keras... u like it a lot rite? heheh... berbuka puasa's moment was so meriah... tsk tsk... i miss the moment so much!! n hey, don't be surprise that my dormates n i actually had our second round in the dorm with our own food... huhuhu.. macam ular sawa aah normally at night... hurm.. with the title super senior.. we, of course... didn't always go to surau ar-rahman... heheh... surau perwira c0.2 was mociron the best place yet... sorry ain!! sorry ustazah!! n... sorry tanti?! heheh... we even once solat jemaah in the dorm with nadz as the imam... huhuhu.. b4 we started praying, we never forgot to put our slippers inside as langkah berhati2... u see, ustazah's house was just two dorms from our dorm... what do u expect?? ^_^ hurm... that was our memory....

n now...

SaHuR, pUaSa n bErBuKa In UM:

hurm... don't really feel the ramadhan fever... alhamdulillah right now we're having our holidays.. i can feel it quite well here at home... huhuhu... in UM, its really like any other days... no difference with rejab or syaaban.. the only good thing is that we can do our solat terawikh together in dewan gemilang with new carpet n the hall is air-conditioned... huhuhu... nice feeling huh!

maybe i'm just having tough luck in UM coz i am placed with the senpai tachi(seniors) so i can't break my fast with my batchmates.. everyday, i will be in my room, with yatie, my roommate... futari dake!! zannen desne!! nothing special n of course, no chance to get close with the rest... sigh~ that's why i guess i'm a bit(i repeat, just a bit) quiet here compared to those days... gee... sounds weird huh? neway, i just hope the coming days will be much better n no more sob sob stories will be heard.. n i also dream that this year's ramadhan would be just as exciting as last year's...

~We CaN OnLy pLaN~

Since it has been quite some time for me not updating this blog, finally i decided to post a new blog... heheh... i just realised how things have really changed since year 1988... of course my time line is from 1988.. huhu.. when i was in primary school, it was like crystal clear, where by i was certain that i would like to be a lawyer.. i can say, that the ambition had stayed within me till form3!! hurm... it was indeed a very long term vision.. i just can't see any other career that will be suitable for me by that time... plus, my father was once a lawyer and he enjoyed his job very much!! besides, i was so talkative and love to argue with people... hey, that was why everyone really expected that one day i'll be a good lawyer... i suppose..

apart from that, i had set my mind to further my studies in UK since i was really small... as small as standard one... hurm... my target was rather high.. hehe... CAMBRIDGE for sure... or maybe OXFORD... hahah.. my favourite subjects at that time were english and malay language... i don't know why i targeted UK and not other countries... maybe, again, for the same reason, my father had studied there to take law after form 6... also, our trips to london surely encouraged me to go on with my dreams... yeah, not forgetting that i really wanted to go to the same school as my brother - mozac... heheheh..

BUT... as time passed by... the road didn't seem straight and easy like before... there were many roads in front of me... asking me to choose the best road... i figured out that my favourite subject was actually MATHS!! heheh.. can't deny that! i didn't go to mozac, but instead a better school i suppose- sains selangor!! and, slowly... i wasn't really fond of being a lawyer... instead, i would like to be an actuaries.. but somehow or rather, my father didn't allow me to be one... maybe because the obstacles were just too much for me... then, i decided to become an engineer one day... luckily i love physics too!! huhu... but surely, not a doctor!! pleeeasssseee... hate BIO... sorry kak aini.. i know it's ur life... hehe..

                      

       

                                                                                                      

so, after spm, as planned, my father sent me to HELP UNI COLL to take A Levels eventhough i was reluctant to take it at that time... ya la.. everyone was enjoying after spm, but i need to study... of course i was so disappointed with my dad's decision at that time... but as a mithali daughter(uhuk uhuk..), i went through it.. (with some complains.. hehe).. but after entering HELP, i realised that i was actually enjoying my life there.. no regretss!! eventhough not so many malays around, i succeeded in mixing around with the other races... they are just soOo nice and sweet... thanks to aruna, tammy, bee li, charmaine n the rest... love u all... i didn't even feel left out.. ^_^

                                                                                                                                                                                       

BUT of course, Allah has his own plans for me... as i was happy leading my life there, i got an offer from JPA as a scholarship to study in Japan... and of course, 2 years foundation first!! hehe.. after thinking deeply... i finally agreed to accept the offer... JAPAN?? hey, that is soOo different from what i had planned before... totally different... it had NEVER crossed my mind... not even once... funny, right? we can only have plans... but only Allah can determine our future...

                                                                                                                     

hurmm... aiming for lawyer?? mozac?? UK?? hehe... that will just be 'once upon a time' story... NOW, i am so happy learning new languange, japanese for sure... never get bored... only feel like vomitting, with the quizzes which are almost everyday and the tests, at least once a week... weeee.... but no regrets huh~ even it doesn't go according to plan, i still believe that this is just the best for me... ALHAMDULILLAH is all that i can say.. ^_^

life in AAJ!! ^_^

hi! i'm back again... writing this blog in midnight... when everyone is fast asleep... hurmm... what am i supposed to crap again? oh yeah, about the life i'm leading in AAJ... huh~ to tell the truth... the life there is really2 tiring n taihen... hurm.. however, on the contrary, i just love my life there...really, no joke... full of excitement!! hehe.. to me, every minute is just so enjoyable n exciting... but!!! of course there are some bad experiences that make me feel like going out from AAJ...(maybe, only 0.99 %) well, basically, i gain new experience there... meeting new faces with different characters brings us a step further in living in this world...

i can't deny that everyone in AAJ is very hardworking and intelligent! that's just awesome!! but something that i really can't understand is that why are there such people that can be a real pain in the neck?? intelligent yet no PR. gee... i pity them so much... just imagine, how i got so fed up with my friend... i asked her on something, n of course she's just so smart that she can give me the answer... but!!! however!!! the way she explained it to me was so irritating n frustrating... she made me feel so stupid... okay, let me blow it up... she said something like this: "la... tuh pun tak tau ke... kan kite slalu gune...," what the........ can't she use other way to teach us??? that wasn't the first time.. she had done it quite a few times!! i was not the only person she treated like that... almost everyone who asked for her help will get similar treatment... gee... come on la... buruk perangai aah wey!!! huh~ i really get annoyed with people who like to show off... especially on their intelligence!! hehe... sorekara, we also hv boys who like to show off too.. again, on how intelligent they are... huhaa~~ bosan seyh!! but, in that case, dah lali!! boys from sc. selangor were like that too, before!! heheh.. no big deal, isn't it?

hurm... what about those people who can really humilliate people in front of everyone?? grrr.... really don't like it!! but i don't know the proper way to show them that i hate their way... sometimes they might think that i'm not serious when i try to tell them off... yeah yeah.. just because i like to laugh n don't get angry that often... but please!! don't take advantage of me!! once i say i don't like it, it's final! i just hate it!! do not embarrass people sesuka ati la!! we have feelings too!! enough with the word blushing la weyh... not proper... it's not for real pun!! as a friend, we should know how to differenciate jokes n real facts!! ayo, don't get too excited when we tell some private n secret stuff.. it's just for fun, ok~ bukan betul pun!! hurm... mayb, my ex- schoolmates can understand me better in that kind of matter.. but then again, it's ok... baru kenal, kan! huh!! enough with this 'melepas perasaan' session... so sorry if some people out there 'terasa' with this blog... didn't mean to hurt anybody's feeling... i just want to tell that i really would love these stupid things to stop.. ^_^ sumimasen!

end!

HeHeHe!

hey, just can't believe that i have created my own blog!! huhu... nothing much to type out... just getting sleepy now, coz it's 3.42 in the morning... hahahah... it's funny coz i seldom sleep very late... all my family members are fast asleep... kay, feel like joining them... going to the other realm... JOY! huhaaa..~

LOGGING OUT now..
