My Review Report : The Finals

Here's a little review about the most feared and stressful moment in every semester. It's a period where people make the library as their second home, the TV and laptops as their enemies, snacks and food are their best friends and once in a while, they tend to turned into black-eyed zombies- THE FINALS..
TAX490

A damn tough paper! I just hope I'm able to score this paper. I was so damn stressed that I even went out that night for a movie.Haha..The movie was: "He's just not that into you". Quite an interesting 2hour movie. Gone are all of my study plan that day..Yeah, but it's a relieve that I needed.

MAF490This is yet another paper that I have difficulty in answering. My first question which I was hoping will cover for the second part has gone down the drain as I wrongly calculate the figures! All 10 marks! Argghh! I can't help but feel really down with myself. I can't even study that night. Atlast, it took me some dose of TV, a pack of chocolates and a few phone calls and messages to calm me down. Thanks to all of my friends and my mum who are willing to hear emotions out. =)
ECO555The paper was quite ok. But there were too many questions to be answered at a time that the whole 3 hours, I was wondering when will this end. But, it ends well eventually.
3RD LANGUAGEFin. No comment on this tough. All the roleplay and tests are long forgotten. I'm not sure myself if I still remember how to speak the language.Hehe..wait, let me test myself.... hmm..Oh, Oui..Bonjour! Haha..Yeah, I still got them in me =)
FAR450The paper was okay. Though I only covered all the chapter during the last minute, but I manage to answer the question as it is. Yet, there's no guarantee on what I've written as I can't recheck the answers and my balance sheet was not balanced. Huh.. Nothing much I can do though.
LAW485The paper was quite ok I guess. Hope I did well though. Always wanted to know how it feels to have a good grade in Law. Hurmm.. let see how it goes then..
MGT538By now, I can't comment much about the paper since final has long gone(eventhough it has only been a week of holiday). All I can say is the paper was quite ok. By the time the clock hits 11.30pm, I was so relieved since I have a whole 2 months of holidays ahead of me and a trip that I looking forward to. So, with that, I bid everyone Happy Holidays and see you all next semester with new spirit, new stories and let start everything fresh.

Expected GPA: of course it's everyone's dream to get 4flat. I don't expect anything much but I still keep my eyes on the number 4. If I get it, Alhamdulillah. If I don't, well maybe it's best for me and I accept it. I just hope for the best though.

Crazy night part 1

Friday,10th of April was the last day of class for this semester. Excitement overwhelms me. I've made a plan with my friends to execute a project that night called "crazy night". It's a way for me to end the semester with style.hehe..


So, at 9.00pm, all 10 of us went to bukit raja to catch a movie. We were thorn between watching Fast n Furious or Jangan Tegur. The later, some of us have watched it but the former, we have to admit, most of us, especially the girls have a faint heart. But, eventually, we went with Jangan Tegur. All of us agree to it even though traces of fear are visible on our faces. After the tickets were bought, turns out that all of us can't sit in the same row. Thus, the level of fear increased up to another level. Since most of the girls are scared to watch the movie, we need to decide who sits next to whom. Standing in front of the cinema, it took us nearly 10 minutes to decide the "strategic" seating of everyone. It is assumed that with good partners, ghosts can't scare us off. But, somehow the theory doesn't work.


While waiting for the cinema to open, some girls needed a little of comfort words to calm themselves. It was rather funny I think. Walking down to our seats, we were holding hands. Try to be prepared mentally for the next one and half hour of darkness. The level of anxiety was like entering a ghost house. I bid good luck to the girls, hoping they make through the movie. But at the same time, I was also rather worried that some of them will cry or run out of the cinema.


When the movies starts, 15minutes through it, my friend next to me, R has started feeling anxious. She folded her legs on the seat and covering her face. I could see that she nearly cried. Another friend of mine, F is even more anxious. Through the whole movie, they are the ones who make most of the noises and keep covering their faces. But I have to admit, it was a scary movie. I do find myself covering my ears and eyes especially when you see your friend is nervous, you are also infected by that feeling. Even other audiences in the cinema were making uneasy sounds and moves. Some nearly scream out of shock, some were cursing the movie and there were also others who sank down on their seats halfway through the movie.

After the movie, some of us started to imagine how are they going to go through the rest of the night. They have started to imagine the fear that is to come especially when some of us are living in the college and will be staying up late to study for the finals. Some even plan to sleepover that night to accompany them. We were also teasing each other, especially A whom we know are also scared as she closed her eyes throughout the movie, but she was the one who excitedly teasing others.


But, I must say, it was a crazy experience but totally fun. Even though most of us are scared, but going through it with your friends makes it much better. On top of that, it was really amusing to see all the I-hope-I'll-make through-this-movie-alive faces and reactions.



So, with that, I mark "crazy night" part 1 as executed successfully.

A home retreat

Dah lame aku tak balik rumah. Semua ini kerana kesibukan dengan kerja kuliah. Semester ni adalah semester yang sangat sibuk. Kalau dulu, setiap minggu boleh balik ke rumah. Oleh kerana dah lama tak balik rumah, mula la rasa rindu. I thought I was strong enough to stand on my own. But the truth is, who can be alone right? Once in a while, we need to have to recharge ourselves with a short home visit. I started to question myself, how strong will I be if i furthur my studies overseas, where I'll be seperated from my family by the distances.

Last week, I got a chance to come back home after a month of being away. Happy sangat time tu. I try to absorb every moment there. Bila ayah datang ambik kat shah alam, akak kucup tangan ayah. Dah lama akak tak jumpe ayah. Dalam kereta, akak perhatikan ayah bawa kereta. Ayah dah semakin tua. Ayah sihat ke selama ni? This is the man that has been supporting the family. The man that has always guide me in life and giving me meaningful advices. Akak dan adik-adik lain dah semakin membesar. I wonder wether he knows that we love him so much. That I always say his name in my prayers. Praying to God that He will bless our family.

Sampai je kat rumah, aku jumpe ibu. Tangan ibu dikucup lembut. Dah lama tak jumpa ibu. Ibu pun agak terkejut kerana dia tak tahu pun yang aku akan pulang ke rumah.

Malam tu, ibu masak tapi aku takde selera nak makan. Tak tahu la kenapa. Ibu tanya, dah makan ke, aku mengiakan sahaja. Aku kata aku dah jamah nasi tu sikit demi menjaga hati ibu. Di meja makan, aku dan adik - adik lain duduk bersama sambil makan. Aku mulakan celoteh ku dengan mengeluarkan semua cerita - cerita panas yang berlaku di universiti. Riuh satu rumah dibuatnya.

Ketika asyik berborak, aku terfikir, macam mane agaknya keadaan di rumah ketika aku berada di kelas. Adakah mereka masih seceria ini?Adakah mereka dapat duduk makan bersama setiap malam?

Aku juga teringat yang minggu yang akan datang, aku juga tidak dapat balik ke rumah. Jadi, aku sengaja ajukan soalan kepada ibu, "ibu, sedap ke sambal yang you makan tu? nak sikit boleh?" Tujuan ku adalah untuk merasa suapan nasi dari tangan ibu. Saja nak bermanja - manja dengan ibu. Aku mendekati ibu, dan ibu menyuapkan sedikit nasi ke mulutku. Rasa bahagia yang teramat sangat. It's a small gesture, but it is a gesture that we will miss the most in the world.

Malam tu juga, aku cuba bersihkan rumah sedikit. Hanya menyapu dan mop lantai dan kemas sedikit barang-barang di dapur. Sekurang - kurangnya, nampak kemas sikit. Itu sedikit sebanyak yang mampu ku sumbangkan untuk keluarga. Ibu nampak gembira dengan bantuan ku. Ibu juga ada minta bantuan ku untuk buat beberapa kerja lain. Walaupun malam tu sangat penat dan hati pun rasa malas memikirkan assingment yang masih menimbun, tapi ku turutkan juga dengan senyuman. Aku memberi semangat pada diriku, yang menolong ibu tu satu kerja mulia. Balasan yang Allah berikan tak ternilai harganya.

Besok pagi - pagi lagi dah bertolak ke shah alam. Walaupun masih mengantuk, tapi aku gembira. Jiwaku tenang dan terisi. I might sound all mushy writing all these, but I'm actually living the moment and appreciate every second of my life. Try to upheld to not take things for granted. The moments with my family is the inspiration I need to keep me sane in this hectic world.

So friends, if you have the chance to visit your parents, do so while we still have the chance. I still remember my uncle used to say "masa parents kita masih ada la kita kena tunjukkan kasih sayang kita. kalau diorang dah takde, dah tak berguna". My dad pun selalu cakap, "orang-orang tua bukan nak harta or duit anak-anak. Diorang just nak tengok samada anak-anak diorang ni datang tak lawat dia. They just want to know that their children is always there." That's why, everytime my granddad comes to KL, my father will visit him at my uncle's house. All of my relatives that live around KL will come and visit him which I think is a good value that we should follow. A value in which I'll follow. Thanks dad for the advice.
