one and only IIUM

today i had a chance to sit in the bus. my days and nights are full of things to do. not that busy when the sun is up but office environment, colleagues, yada yada yada, so i don’t think looking at my phone for a long time is a good thing to do. when the sun goes down, i need to take care of my cats poops, give them food, iron clothes and many more. (i am not married, by the way but you know just help my mom out)

back to the IIUM. International Islamic University Malaysia. yes, i pursued my bachelor degree at this beautiful place.

i still remember the day i checked my upu result. i was with puteri and we were heading to sunway pyramid. i was nervous. after sent my details via text message, i received this code of my status. i was like, hey, in this crucial time, you shouldn’t be sending me code. i had no smart phone during that year, 2011, we used keypad but Alhamdulillah internet was already available. when i looked at my phone, IIUM? i didn’t applied neither iium nor bachelor of information technology.

i was scared, i was jahil during that time, so stupid that i actually afraid that if i went there, do i have to wear abaya or wide hijab or socks. stupid huh!

first day was fun. i met new friends, roommate who at first didn’t want to talk to me (but we love each other now), we had no food to eat since most of cafes yet to be opened due to semester break. for the first time, i spoke in english to a nigerian lady in case she knew any cafes available.

first semester was tough, i needed to take full semester of english class. just english! my english was embarrassing and now less embarassing. those who are pursuing english literatue would probably don’t even want to read my first sentence however i am still learning to improve. Alhamdulillah, i passed my english test at the end of first semester, my friends did too, so we managed to enter our kulliyyah for real. we learnt about programming, Islamic views in every aspects, accounting, and so and so. i met great friends this semester, different studies and even though we rarely contact each other now but friendship stays, right?

second semester began. this semester was a nightmare in term of my academic journey. it is possible to learn programming but as for one who didn’t any knowledge about that, it was nightmare. i hated every classes and calculus was just my nap time. plus, i yet to find interest to this course. all in all, ups and downs, happy and sad moments, i got it through and managed to finish with acceptably satisfied. i would like to tell you about my final year project, lots of interesting events happen. i will write about it one day.

iium was my second home. i miss my friends, we used to have midnight pillow talk, stay up to finish assignments, skipped classes. i miss iium environment, even though we did face some political or administration issues (most places face these), it is still the second most comfortable place for me. i miss my room, oh heaven, i love my bed there. haha it was not fancy, but i loved it and i still love it. my mom used to say whenever it was weekend and i was rushing to go back to iium, she said, “you really can’t wait huh!!” with annoyed voice. sorry mom, i enjoyed some “me” time. i miss lectures, practical is boring, i can’t ask for answers, hahaha.

if i can, i really want to spend at least a week there. like i used to. but there is no if, right?

the eyes

eye consists of pupil, nerve and bla bla bla. want to know more, ask medical student or Google. I know, I sound ignorant yada yada, okay i’ll google after this.

eye.
you can see things. duhhh, everyone knows that. you can make assumption through what you see. sounds genius, right? yet, first assumption does not allow you to make a conclusion. i sound amazingly genius, huh? through eyes, you can see much better picture than the highest megapixel phone can ever have. islamic notion here, of course our eyes is created by our mighty God, Allah. Alhamdulillah, i am able to use my eyes,  and those who are unfortunate, you are wrong, you are not unfortunate, actually, you know more than those who can see. you have your heart.

yet, that is not the reason of my post here. talking about how it is beneficial to us, so on and so forth. i want to talk about my failure managing my own eyes. scary? sound a bit psycho?

have you ever been so sleepy that even your hands, fingers are still writing or typing on a keyboard, your eyes just shut? seriously. have you? i do and i did. this is one of the most terrible things that can happen to me especially at office. it happen this morning.

i was in the middle of typing and suddenly my eyes just shut, but somehow, i feel my fingers are dancing on the keyboard. but i just let it be, cause i was so sleepy back then. unfortunately, a mister who is sitting in front of me came and i was then moved my hands faster and made a very serious face with big eyes and sit properly and ignore what just happen.

very very very terrible things to happen.

by the way, do you know how i cure my sleepy eyes? and yes after i istighfar, i opened Bones Episode 3 Season 7 on my phone and started to continue my task. it works. i didn’t watch it, i just listen. songs does not really been helpful lately. sad.

the chair

i prefer to do my assignments on a table with a chair. by the way, not the kind of chair above. nooo, that one just look pretty,vintage something like that.

i found myself more focus and suprisingly quite when i do my work. i also have this serious face when i am too focus in my work. my friends, who know me, say that i look mad when i am serious, in my work.

i just started my internship and this too-focus-too-serious face makes me worry. i am worry that my colleagues would think that i am in a bad mood or mad at work or any other misconception that they might think.

being an intern, you can not be 100% about yourself or you will not be able to get an offer, people will dislike you, so on and so forth. i just got my real task, so i have been busy because i have to submit it on Tuesday next week.

i thought sitting on the chair would be fine because i have done that before during my study but nope, it is not fine at all. my back, oh my God, it pains my back, my shoulders, my join, everything. i feel old already. my shoulder, i can’t even set it straight while in the bus.

working is not fun. if you are currently in university, studying, keep on study. study until you are old. the stress of working is on the new level. you are afraid all the time. study is fun. keep on.

kl haze

two days ago was so bright, i can clearly see golf park around this area. i can even see the golfer can not play properly and lost his ball. seriously, i am not joking.
