Hey, Guys. It's been a long time.

Bismillah...

Ya Allah, tak sangka dah lebih 3 bulan tak update blog, hahaha.

Hm... Nak cerita pasal apa ek sepanjang 3 bulan ni?

Okay, firstly I'm going to talk about what happened from the starting of this year.

The first 3 months, tahu la kan, I was working with my eldest brother at his dental clinic. Haha. Seriously rindu abis nak kerja kat sana. Bila balik-balik dari UPM, banyak benda baru yang ada, hehe.

Ah~ Lupa nak cerita, wondering why I was in UPM? Hahaha. Actually it all happens from the 5th of June till the 23rd of July, hehe. Which was right after saya letak jawatan sebagai Clinic Assistant di Klinik Pergigian Alan Adlan, of course, haha.

For that past 7 weeks, I took a pre-medical programme that was designed for students who were going to take medicine course, especially for the medicmesir-ians. Which is an agency that sends students for further studies in Egypt.

So anyway, masa mula-mula datang UPM Serdang tu, memang tak berapa risau sgtla. Walaupun tak pernah lagi duduk asrama, tapi sebab Amalia ada, tidak lupa juga dgn Allah yang sentiasa bersama dgn kita... I feel rather spirited for the programme actually, haha!

Sepanjang program tu, memang banyak la benda yg terjadi, yang biasa, jumpa kawan baru, biasa la aaannn~ hahaha!

(Week 4 : Program santai dan makan-makan di Hotel Marriot)

Semua pelajar yg terlibat dlm program ni dlm 160 org, ktorg dibahagikan kepada 4 groups.
So guess which group I'm in?

It's Group 4! Hehe!

Memang best abis grup aku ni, sume sporting tapi ada jugakla yg pendiam and loner sket, hahaha... tapi overall, the bomb la boleh dikatakan, haha!

(all the girls are my friends of Group 4, yang orang muka arab tu tentulah cikgu Bahasa Arab kami, hehe, Ustaz Omar, and last but not least, pakcik yg bawah kiri tu ketua warden kami yg sgt rapat, we called him Pak Ngah! Haha!)

(Masa ni dah week 6 dah, kitorang buat jamuan Group 4 makan steamboat~ Syeeedaaap!)

Okay, the schedule yg diorg perkenalkan is pretty much the same la kat universiti mana2 pon.
BUT! Because of the addition of learning the Egyptian language, we start our class from 8.15 am to 7.00 pm! Killer kan? Hahahaha!

8.15 am - 9.00 am = Roll Call
9.00 am - 12.00 pm = Lecture
12.00 pm - 2.00 pm = Lunch Break and Solat
2.00 pm - 4.00 pm = Tutorial Class
4.00 pm -5.00 pm = Break and Solat
5.00 pm - 7.00 pm = Egyptian language class

(Aku kat sebelah Amalia je kot, tapi tak dapat ditangkap gambar! Haha! Sedih la sgt~)

Okay, actually Egyptian language is actually Arabic language. Tapi Bahasa Arab yang kitorang belajar adalah bahasa pasar, hahaha! So it's actually called Bahasa Arab Amiyah.

About the subjects of medicine, there's about 5 of 'em consisting of Anatomy, Histology, Physiology, Embryology and Biochemistry. Let me tell ya something about it, it is NO JOKE! Hahaha. Memang korang takle main2 lagi dahla bila amik medicine ni... For me, whose Biology in SPM is a C+, at first, I thought that I'm SO not gonna make it. Minat tu memang ada, insyaAllah tapi memang aku langsung takde konfiden utk menceburi bidang medicine ni.

But alhamdulillah, after joining this programme, I felt that I was given a second chance. A chance to prove myself that if I work hard and study smart and mainly, niat utama adalah kerana Allah swt, insyaAllah, I will make it=) Dengan syarat, DUIT ;)

D = Doa
U= Usaha
I = Ikhtiar
T = Tawakal

That's the formula I've been using=D

So, to comment on the schedule, memang tidak dinafikan memang penuh dan penat tapi best lah, tiada masa untuk dibazir, haha! Masa malam lak, selain study (ada study ke? =.= haha.) kitorang main basketball kat court dia which just in front of the asrama building, heee~

Inilah Geng Basketball! Diorg slalu join kami main=DDD Rindu gilaaaaakkk~

Nak cerita pulak pasal gambar ni, masa ni, hahahaha, aku terseliuh kaki masa main basketball, hahaha. Kalau nak dijadikan kelakar, aku terjatuh dengan sendirinya tanpa ada orang langgar aku! Hahahaha! Tu yang memang lawaknya... Mungkin nilah akibatnya main pakai crocs instead of kasut sukan... Peringatan tu Menaaa~ Hahahaha! Tapi alhamdulillah la, tak patah kaki, ni baru terseliuh jee, memang nak kata sakit, uiks, sakitnya memang 3 hari la jugak, haha! Alhamdulillah, sekarang pon makin sembuh... =DDD

Setakat ni, tu je la kot nak cerita pasal pengalaman sepanjang Program Jom! Mumtaz dianjurkan oleh Medic Mesir selama 7 minggu ni, hihi... Please look forward for more stories, insyaAllah!

And last but not least, I have a new trademark now, haha! And it is...

Aja-Aja Fighting Fi Sabilillah!

Learning is a Never Ending Process

Bismillah...

I think I'm slowly opening myself to the real world now...
I'm learning something new everyday...

I learned how to socialize with people in a good way, how to post mails, how to drive, how to register at a gym, how to assist dentists, how to be frugal, how to manage my savings, how to be calm and professional...I learned all sorts of things everyday...

I always took things for granted, really... But now, I think I'm becoming more and more independent day by day... It's a good thing, I guess... Cause I think I used to always lean on my parents... Always clinging to them when I had problems... Always refer to them when I needed help... When I want something, when I need something, they're always there for me... But then, I realized... What if? I mean, just what if... What if someday, they're not there for me anymore.. What am I suppose to do?

That's why, if I could, I want to be depend on myself (Of course, and Allah swt) from now on... I wanna do things on my own, instead of burdening my parents when I should lessen the burden they have now...

My mother always say to me,

"Kalau kita ada masalah, kita tak perlu mengadu kepada keluarga, kita tak perlu mengeluh pada kawan, carilah Allah swt. Berdoalah pada-Nya. Mintalah pada-Nya. Mengadulah Pada-Nya. Nescaya, Dia akan membantu engkau."

"Adakalanya DIA memberi sebelum sempat kita meminta, kerana DIA mengerti keperluan hamba-hamba-Nya, adakalanya DIA mengambil semula sebelum sempat kita bersedia kerana DIA ingin menguji keimanan hamba-hamba-Nya..."

Komawo, Omma! Saranghaeyo!

Aja-Aja Fighting!

We're still students, eventhough we already graduated MASTER or PhD...
It's because we learn something new everyday...

I Love My Job!

Bismillah...

Hey, guys! Welcome to Klinik Pergigian Alan Adlan!

It's already been a week since I officially started working...
To tell you the truth, I'd thought it would not be as much fun as I thought it would be BUT it turns out way better than I expected. Honestly, I wanna try working as a cashier or something like that coz it's easier. But then, my dad wouldn't allow me. So he asked me to work with my brother at his new clinic as a Clinic Assistant.

Apa yang susah? Well, mula-mula my bro bagi kerja senang dulu la, haha..

Well, my job is simple, first things first, I start by sweeping the clinic floor, mop it and then clean the washrooms. I know, it may sound like I work as a janitor but that's one of the part of being a clinic assistant...

The harder part is I need to know, memorize and recognize all of the dentistry tools and utensils that existed in the clinic. I need to know how to work the compressor and the autoclave machine. I also need to know how to greet the patients politely, friendly and professionally and how to answer their questions convincingly. I also need to memorize the prices of the dentistry treatments. And the hardest part is.... no KOREA! Waaaa~

But here comes the exciting part of the job,it's when a customer comes! Haha! Ok, technically, it's a patient... I know, it kinda sound "jakun" but it's really fun having your very first customer when you just started working. I wanted to work hard and leave them a good impression... Huhuhu...

So far, we've already had 10 patients on the 1st week! Well, including me, huahua! The record of having the most patient in one day so far is 4 patients! Ohmagod, this is so fun! It's like you're playing one of those games like Diner Dash! Ahak ahak!

Here's a little intro on Klinik Pergigian Alan Adlan!

It was named after my eldest brother aka the dentist.
The theme is orange because he said not many people use this colour...
and it looks cheerful!
It was officially opened on 1st of February 2011.
And currently we're working on our logo and motto.
I gotta figure out a good catch phrase...

Nur Amalina the Clinic Assistant/Receptionist/Janitor!

Malas itu penyakit!

Bismillah...

Hm... Dah lama jugak tak post, hahaha...
Dah lepas SPM pun macam banyak masa tapi macam sikit je benda yang buat, mungkin sebab masa berjalan dengan laju kot... (itu alasan!)

Aku rasa sekarang ni macam malas sangatlah, kenapa ya?
Adakah sebab dah lama tinggalkan sekolah? Ke memang sebab malas pon, hahaha...

Baru-baru ni, nak cuba juga khatam al-Quran, kali terakhir khatam pon bulan puasa hari tu...
Ko ni mena, boleh tak ko jangan malas sangat, tengok korea hari-hari boleh pulak!

Astaghfirullahal'azim~

Tiba-tiba, hari ni semangat nak buat perancangan khatam al-Quran...
Mama dahla khatam sebulan sekali, rasa kerdil pulak diri kita ni...

Mula-mula tu memanglah rajin, tapi nak istiqamah tu ingat senang ke?
Istiqamah sangat susah kan? Tak kisahlah buat apa pun, nak mula tu senang tapi nak meneruskan tu punya la susah... Tapi kalau kita dah hari-hari buat, lama-lama pun mesti akan biasa kan? Bak kata peribahasa "Alah Bisa, Tegal Biasa".

Ni la masalah yang aku tengah hadapi sekarang...Adoi~

Tapi takpe, buat sikit-sikit dulu tapi buat sebagai rutin seharian...

Go! Mena! Go!

30 juzuk dalam masa 30 hari. Jadi, 1 juzuk untuk 1 hari. 1 juzuk pula ada sekitar 20 muka surat. Sehari ada 5 waktu, 20 bahagi 5 ialah 4. Jadi setiap waktu kena baca 4 muka surat atau lebih.

Well, that's the plan. Doakan saya berjaya!
Amin Ya Rabbal Alamin.

What's next on my To-Do List?

Bismillah...

Hang out

Bismillah...

Yesterday, I went to Sunway Pyramid.
Yup! To do activity number 6 and number 39 on my To-Do list!

Me, my twin, my big brother and my little brother arrived at Sunway Pyramid at about 12.30 pm. Then, we went our separate ways as me and my twin went to see our friends at McDonald's. All five of us had our lunch. Then we went to surau and pray. After that, we bought movie tickets to watch Rapunzel ; A Tangle Tale in 3D!




Flynn Rider and Rapunzel makes a gorgeous couple! ;D

The plot was interesting. I like the magic hair thingy. Hehe. But the ending was unsatisfying to me. I don't know. Maybe it's because there's no wedding, haha. Oops. Sorry for the spoiler.

Just before the movie started, we went ICE-SKATING!
Seriously, it is harder than it looks. When I tried to skate on the ice, it was so hard to stay balance and not fall. I had to hold the side wall almost every minute! Later, my leg began to feel painful. It just had to be my skating shoes. Seriously, susah gila nak balance~ But anyhow, it was a nice experience. InsyaAllah, I'll skate again and practice till I can really skate!

After that ice-skating and watching the movie, we went to the surau again and pray. After that, we walked for a while and suddenly something caught my eye!

It was Lee Min Ho!!! I'm not gonna lie to you, I seriously saw Lee Min Ho!


Sorry to disappoint you guys (and myself..T.T) but it was just a poster. Hahaha.
The poster of Lee Min Ho on the wall of a make-up shop called Etude House. It was obviously a brand from Korea.

It was so pinkish and cute!

At the Etude House, I bought an eyeliner for my cousin, Nana. She always wanted it. Besides that, I bought a BB Magic Cream! It's so expensive but I just gotta have it! I always saw Korean Celebrities use it and it made their skin looks so perfect. Oops. Sorry. *Teenage-Girl-mode off*
And you know what else! Just that 2 stuffs cost me RM 43.85!! Memang cekik darah! Please don't tell my mom about this, hahaha. Seriously, it was painful to watch my babies fly away. (T.T) But Lee Min Ho persuaded me to buy it. Haha. On the bright side, I've got a discount and a member card with HIS PICTURE ON IT!!! Kyaaaa~

Okay, it's not exactly this picture but I just had to put it here. Hehehe.

Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye

After that, I bought kebabs for Mom and Dad and about 7 pm, we went home.
Ahh~~ it was fun and exciting~Alhamdulillah...

P/S : Maybe I should put Marry Lee Min Ho as one of my To-Do list, Hahaha~ What?

Aja-Aja Fighting!

Asal aku rasa cam tgh tulis karangan english je...

Yes, Bingo! Less than 15 days, SPM is coming Yo!

Okay~I'm rapping now...Just a little 'excited'...

Right~

Well, that's about it, pray for me okay! 11A+ for SPM!

Aja-Aja Fighting!That will be mine...=)

Introducing...

Bismillah...

Hey, guys... I have a good news and a bad news!

The good news is...
I am going to make my very own comic book! Yahoo!
Inspired by my brother and a friend of mine, Elyana..

But the bad news is...
I am not gonna start drawing the comics until SPM ends...

Unfortunately, I don't have the time right now to do any comics because I'm having my SPM this year and right now I'm having my SPM Trial...Speaking of comics, It kind of brings me back to the time I used to love drawing...Well, it's not that I don't love to draw anymore, it's just that it naturally stops...I used to draw comics since I was in 2nd grade...Too bad I threw away the comics I made...I think I've made 3 comic books but none of them were completed. LOL!
Well, I threw them away because it's too embarassing, actually...Duh! I was like 8 years old when I drew the comic! It was hideous! But I wished I have kept it....Oh well...Just so you know, one of the comic I used to draw was about puppies. I know. Weird, right? I admit, I'm pretty weird when I was a kid. I LOVED puppies. I used to have a lot of stuffed animals namely plushies. I forgot what brand it is but I think it's made in the UK. They even have NAMES! I remember there's Courage, a dobersman, Demure, a poodle, Sidekick, a beagle, Muckluck, a husky, Slick, a fox and more...Hahaha...So childish of me...

So anyway, back to comic book thingy,I hope I will get some support~
I will post my comics strip in this blog of mine, InsyaAllah...
Here's a little peek of my very own scrap book who is going to be my new best friend starting next year!



FYI, usually, cartoonist has this really cool pen name like Ben, Kaoru, Puppeteer, Ageha and so on...
Well, I've found a pen name for myself..Please brace yourself for it...
It's Mena Fenomena!!! Hahaha! I know! It's pretty lame but it's so rhythm-ish and it rhyme!
It sound kinda like Hannah Montana but hey! Is there a better name?

Look forward to my comic, guys! Aja-Aja Fighting!

Still Fantasizing

It's been great, it's been fun,
But feels as if something's still undone,
Still searching and exploring,
my heart is still wondering,
pondering and yondering,
a feeling of exhaustion,
never left my head,
never abandon my bed,
I want to learn,
I want to earn,
I want to yearn,
a gift of success...

My Current Progress

Bismillah...

Right now, it is the month of Ramadhan Al-Mubarak!

Alhamdulillah, as an SPM Candidate, I'm very lucky to experience the holy month just before SPM Trial and also the SPM itself....



As for my progress of "Goodbye Korea", at first I've done quite well ignoring my laptop but I seem to have targeting my mom's laptop, so I've pretty much failed my 'mission'... Fortunately, even though I've sometimes played my mom's laptop, the maximum is only 1 hour, so that's not bad right? Hehe~ As of now, I've managed to limit the distractions, so.... Yay, me!

So, anyway, speaking of SPM Trial, it is about 5 weeks away. Another 2 weeks away, we will have our school holidays. My twin sister who is right now having her SPM Trial is going to come home too. So? Of course, we will be planning to study and revise together! And most importantly, NO KOREA-ing! That's my plan, of course...

Speaking of study, I've done my schedule for home-studying and a self-tests. Next, I've experimented that I can't study at home. Why? Simple. Because there are so many distractions that I can't resist. So I've planned to stay at the school library right after school for the rest of my life -Just kidding - Just until SPM ends. Next, I've done a list of the topics that I needed to study. Of all the 3 science subjects, History and Addmath, I'm only 50.65% ready. And that's only 5 subjects, Mena! What about others? You have only 5 weeks left! You're doomed!

Okay, calm down... Just chill, Mena... You still can make it... Just relax and everything will be fine... Just remember the saying...

If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything.

Well,thank you for telling me that, my subconcious...

So, anyway, that's my progress as of now. Not that much, actually. Just my ramblings, haha!
May all of you be blessed with peace and happiness in this beloved month of Ramadhan.
I will pray for prosperity, success and peace of mind of you all of the world and the hereafter.

Amin...

Semoga Nur Amalina Bt A. Rahman Bin Safar mendapat straight A's di dalam Percubaan SPM serta SPM 2010! Amin!

Now, say it with me!

Aja-Aja what?

Aja-aja what?

Goodbye Fantasy, Hello Reality

Seems like only yesterday I entered my school...

Now it feels like I'm only a few feet away from SPM...

I have to wake up now...

I need to wake up now...

I've made a list of what I'm gonna do after SPM and currently there's 38 things I wanna do...

But ironically, I didn't even do a list of what I'm gonna do to get ready for SPM...Hehe...YET~

But I will, okay~

Well...I just wanna say a few goodbyes...

Goodbye Laptop...

Goodbye Super Junior...

Goodbye my beloved Donghae...

Goodbye SNSD...

Goodbye television

Goodbye Comic books...

Goodbye Korea...

Goodbye Fantasy, Hello Reality...

Aja-Aja Fighting!

Tudung Labuh

Bismillah...

I was having a conversation with a friend of mine and she said...

"Jangan fikir perempuan tudung labuh ni baik sangat, mena... Pakaian ni hanya luaran..."

Ouch.

Okay~

I have to admit... The clothes you wear doesn't picture everything about who you are but you can't deny that it does show a little bit about yourself, am I right?

I know, myself, am wearing 'tudung labuh' and I can tell you that I am NOT perfect.
I commit sins too like everyone else in this world. I'm not nice all the time. Sometimes I can be a little hot-tempered. I play truants. Sometimes I don't do my homework. I play games until 2 a.m in the morning. I take pictures of myself with a 'gedik' smile (Just for fun)...
Wait a minute, was that a sin?

So anyway, what I am trying to say is; in every good person, there will be bad and in every bad person, there will be good...

Honestly, to me, there is no such things as a 'good person' or a 'bad person'...There's only gonna be a 'person'...

Wow...Now I sound like that tortoise from Kungfu Panda...

Moving on...

But that's what you called 'manusia' , iman kita bertambah dan berkurang...Unless, of course, you're a Saint or a Satan.

To the people who thinks that 'tudung' is just clothes and doesn't prove who you really are, you're not completely wrong but you're not right either.

'Bertudung' or more accurately, covering your 'aurat' and having good traits are two different practices. Thus, the rewards are different.

Jika anda menutup aurat tetapi anda tidak berakhlak baik, maka anda hanya akan mendapat bahagian pahala kerana menutup aurat, manakala anda akan mendapat dosa kerana tidak berakhlak baik.

Begitu juga sebaliknya.

Jika anda berakhlak baik tetapi anda tidak menutup aurat, maka anda hanya akan mendapat bahagian pahala kerana berakhlak baik, manakala anda akan mendapat dosa kerana tidak menutup aurat.

You see how that works?
But wouldn't it be better if you have both deeds though?

The terms "Don't judge a book by its cover" is always misunderstood by many...
It's true but not 100% true. I've once commented someone in my past but I really regret it now because back then, I realized that I had no right to do that because I didn't even know that someone...So another piece of advice, don't judge a book before you read them, after that, then you can judge it...

My point is, walaupun pakaian ini hanya luaran tetapi kita tidak boleh abaikan kerana menutup aurat adalah satu kewajipan bagi umat Islam..
Sebagai umat Islam, terutamanya para Muslimah, kita mestilah menutup aurat terlebih dahulu, kemudian barulah kita memperbaiki yang mana yang kurang...

Alhamdulillah, to me, saya sudah menjalankan kewajipan saya yang pertama iaitu menutup aurat, dan sekarang saya akan cuba menjalankan kewajipan saya yang seterusnya, InsyaAllah...

What about you?

Sincerely,
Mena

P/S : Please excuse my MangLish Or EngLay...Whatever it is...Hehe...Credits to my Mom for her advice...

How To Please Everyone

Bismillah...

I have this 'friend' who's been facing the same problem for many years now and you know what that is?

It is trying to please everyone!

This 'friend' of mine is the type of person who can never say no to a request... To put it simply, she will try her best to fulfill someone's request even though it's a burden to her...Well, what can I say? Is it because she's too kind? Is it because she's too nice? NOOOOO!!!! *Baka!!! Ehem... The answer is...

It's because she can't say the word "NO"!

And by can't, I mean really CAN'T... It's probably a habit of hers, everytime, people came up to her and ask for a favor, she simply did not hesitate and just say 'yes'... I know, pathetic right?

Well...I'm not saying that helping people is a bad idea..Of course, it's a good deed. But sometimes, you need to know that there are certain things that people need to take care by themselves... And you can't let people step all over you or take advantage of you just because you have the ability to do it...

Come on la, bro...Berbuat baik pun berpada-pada lah...

All of you probably have heard of this story, and let me tell you something about it, I've heard about it like a million times, and each time, I'll learn the same lesson over and over again...

Copied and pasted from the book:

The is an ancient parable about a man and his son who were traveling along a dusty road with their donkey, taking bags full of produce from their farm into the city.

First of all, the father led the donkey along while the boy rode on the animal’s back. But as they traveled along that way, they overheard the sarcastic remarks of strangers who said, “Look at that! the lazy boy rides while his poor father walks.”

This bothered them, so they decided to switch positions. The boy got down and the father got up on the donkey’s back. But this didn’t please anyone either. Now they said, “What a cruel man–making his son walk while he takes it easy.”

Well, what could they do? Perhaps they should both ride on the donkey’s back. And of course when they tried that, people said, “Look at that poor donkey! How could they expect that poor animal to carry both of them and the rest of the load he’s carrying too?”

In a last attempt to please people, the man and his son dismounted and both walked along in front of the beast. Did that help? Of course not.

Now they heard people laughing and saying, “Look at those stupid people. Here they have a perfectly healthy donkey! At least one of them should be riding, but instead they both walk.”

This is one of my favourite quotes from Bill Cosby..

I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody

And there you have it, folks, the answer to the question...
No matter what you do and how hard you try, you just can't please everyone!
If not, you're only gonna end up hurting yourself...
That's all for now. Thank you.

Aja-Aja Fighting!

P/S : Did you know that in Turkey, there's a similar story and the name of the character is Hoca... And this is not the only story... There's hundreds of story of him that teaches so many values.. And I even have a whole book about it! Make sure to check it out!

Making A Choice

Bismillah...

Can I ask you a question?

Is making a choice in life difficult?

Well...It depends whether the options are easy or not, and besides that, you also need to see the consequences that can possibly occur are either bad or good... If it's good then you have nothing to worry about...

But what if the choice you will make is going to determine your future and your parents have high expectations for you?

Ehem... I'm talking about future careers here, okay~
Well...All of us here have ambitions right?

Here's a a question for you :

What do you want to be or do when you grow up?

a) A ........... , because it has always been my dream.
b) A ........... , because it has always been my parents' dream.

Hm...probably many of you will choose A because you think it's your way of life and nobody could try to even decide your life for you even if it's your parents...

But what if your parents oppose of what you wanted to be?

Would you still do it?

I've seen many Korean movies and a lot of them clearly do not look happy following somebody else's dream but they're also not that happy when they've reached their own dreams as some people are against it in the first place...

What I'm trying to say is, everytime you make a decision, you gotta think thoroughly first, if possible, list down the advantages and the disadvantages, and most of all, just follow your heart...

In my case, I have two ambitions, a 3D Animator (Cool, right~) or a Vet but my parents would love it if I take Medic...They say it's not very promising to be a 3D Animator, because, who does that here in Malaysia?And as a Vet, it's better to help human first, then animals...haha...So I thought to myself, eventhough I know I'm hesitating to take that course, I want to give it a try...For my parents, and of course for Allah swt...

Rather than doing what I love or enjoy to do, I chose the path ; making my beloved parents happy as they watch me succeeding...Besides that, I heard a doctor have an income about 2000 pounds in UK (That's about RM12,000!)Tu baru mula bekerja! Hohoho~Okay...Now I sound like I'm doing this for money....XD

I know the risk, maybe I will regret it in the future but you'll never know unless you try...

"Belum tentu perkara yang engkau suka adalah baik untuk kamu (padahal Allah tidak suka) dan belum tentu perkara yang engkau tak suka, adalah tidak baik untuk kamu (padahal Allah suka)"

Holidays

Bismillah...

It's been a week and a half weeks already since school holidays started and so far, I really enjoyed it...Well, school is gonna start in a few more days and yet my reference books are still untouchable...

Nice job, me...

Well, at least I've finished some of my homework, hehe...

Last week has been a blast for me because I reunited with two of my bestest friends in the whole wide world...My twins, Meia and my cousin, Nana.. I can't deny that I've been really lonely since they went back 'home'... It seems like only yesterday we were laughing at each other's joke and went shopping together... I think that was the first time ever that we went shopping, just the three of us...

The three of us also went to watch the movies, twice actually, hehe...

The Shrek Forever After...

And Prince Of Persia...

Both are great movies, I totally recommend them!

Here are some pictures of us! Check it out!

Cey~comel la tu~

Two of us~

Cute kan diorang ni...

Haha! Muka blur! Saje je...

Then, at home, we talked alot, about friends, families, studies, future, ambitions...
All of us have such an awesome chemistry together that some times I feel that we are Triplets! Haha! I think it's because we grew up together that we knew each other so well!
Here's a poem I made, simple je...

Everytime I see you guys, I smiled from ear to ear...
Seeing your smiles, I can't help but to grin...
You know that I'll always be here...
To lend you a hand, if you know what I mean...

I really miss you guys and I pray that you guys do well in your exams..
Until next time, we'll see each other soon! Good luck, girls! Anyeong!
And my famous motto...

Aja-aja Fighting!

Exam Schm-am

Bismillah...

Hey, blogger, I'm just here for a quick update...XD
So anyway...

Ah....It's that time again...
Well, guess what? I did it again... A last minute study, huhuhu...

Only a few more days left and then I'm FREE!
Yeah! 2 weeks of holidays, baby!

And the next 2 months, Trial Exam is coming up....

Then the real deal which is SPM will be coming soon...

Splendid~

Well, the good news is that I got some extra 'tips' for the exam, hehe...
'Lucky me'...
Well, girl, enjoy your time because you won't be so lucky next time...
Trust me...(-.-)

For the bad news, I did , like, so many careless mistakes! Arghh!
Why is it always like that? You just realised you made a mistake seconds after!

But it's okay, everything happens for a reason, you can't always succeed, sometimes you need to fail once in awhile to be able to learn your mistakes...Hehe...
All you need to do is just think positive!
