sudden post
just a little story of mine
got a call this afternoon from utp administration
they claimed that i still have some more fee pending about rm2k..
what a drag! and i was in a very good mood by that time,
it's almost a year since i'm out of that place, why did they ask about it now? why now?
then they replied about the agreement and blah blah blah,
they still didn't answer my question, why now? why utp?
alas, probably it was my fault for not reading those agreements properly
just some childish rant of mine, i do have some respect for utp before,
it's not that i hate utp, well i hate them now, not the students, but the administrations, haha
this is not a restriction from entering utp though,
but still, if you do, brace yourself,
it's the prestigious utp you know! or that's what people always say.
oh well,
for a reminder,
in a game, one should fully understand the rules and the guidelines so that one will not get lost in it.
there goes my 5 months allowance. i could buy tonnes of ice creams with those. 残念！
p/s: for those who hated the mpputp's, you know, they are working their butt off in there, it's not an easy job you know, complaints are everywhere, and they need approvals from the higher committee too in order to progress in solving your problems! be patient!

The Corner
assalamualaikum
i'm back from redang and it was fantastic. spent 2 days 1 night in redang abadi resort for rm250. quite cheap comparing to the other package with the same content which cost rm350. 12 noon after 2 hours trip on the ferry, my friends and i finally reached redang island and my first impression was, "gorgeous!".
went snorkeling for about 5 hours at 4 different beaches. different fishes and different tides. spotted some turtles but by the time i went into the water, they're already gone. would be great if able to see one of those creatures.
seeing the coral reefs sometimes get me an eerie feeling. imagine, floating at the height of two storeys building, above some enormous weird-shaped coral reefs. almost like those things are going to pull you down and eat you. haha. influenced by the alien movies i guess.
anyway anyhow, now, the main topic, the corner.
what i meant about the corner is the turning point i was talking about before. you see, there's a quote from HAMKA that says,
"Kalau hidup sekedar hidup. Babi di hutan juga hidup. Kalau bekerja sekadar bekerja. Kera juga bekerja..."
which if directly translated, it means,
if you live simply just to live your life, the boars in the jungle also live their life.
if you live simply just to work, the monkeys in the jungle also work.
so the point here is, i came across this saying not a long time ago, and it makes me think for awhile. "what differs us from those animals then?","what should we do to be different from those creatures?". come to think about it, first, we are born from our mother's belly, then we learn new things in school, make friends, work, meet our life partner, new family, death, new child, school, friends, work, new family, death, and it goes on and on. death can come anytime and anywhere though. so, aren't those life forms in the jungle also do the same thing? i mean, they were also born, learn new things (hunting, collecting fruits etc), socialise, reproduce, and die.
but we're different right? but at which part? at which corner?
the differences lie in our brain. our thinking skills. unlike those animals, they can't think, they can't simply change their lifestyle. their are meant to be like that. but what about us, humans? are we not allowed to choose what we want? is it forbidden for us, humans to change our lifestyle and adapt to new things? is the cycle i mentioned previously is the only way for us to live our life? an absolute no, right?
what i wanted to say here is, we, humans, have the ability to think and that is what differing us from those animals. so think! how does the tree grow, why do objects stuck to the ground, why are there shining stars during the night, why there's day and night, why the water from the river does not mix with the sea water, and many more. we have the ability to think, so we should question why these things occurs! so we learn science. do science explains everything? yes? no? no. we were told that everything is made up of a small particle called atoms. but then, do we see these atoms? then we were told that there are oxygen in the air which is needed by the lifeforms on the ground in order to live. and do we see these oxygen? can we feel, taste, touch or hear these things? and then, we are told that everything in this universe started off with a big bang, which means before that big bang, there's nothing, and how come the earth and the other planets can move around the sun within a fixed orbit? natural occurrence? we create robots, so the robots are created by us. those robots do not exist on their own do they? what is this leading to?
there's god, Allah the Great. He had arranged everything. He created us. He differed us from other life forms. He gave us the ability to think so that we could find Him using the clues he left for us, the Quran. Just because we can't see Him, it doesn't mean that He does not exist.
say, we invented robots, do they have the exact same physical and mental condition like us humans? do they have the same skin like our skin? same blood like our blood? same brain like our brain? no! which means, the creator is not the same as the creation. we can't imagine how He looks like because He is not something that we had ever seen before. He is our creator. The one and only, Allah SWT.
so, here we are in this world. should we live like the other animals? now that we have the ability to think? what should we do? clues? refer to it? why only us, humans, are given the ability to think? why?
this is my turning point. i've come to realise that we, humans, came into this world with our own goals and purpose. not simply just to live. we have our own tasks and duties to be taken care of. which will be concluded in the next post. stay tune.

 |
| a creation can't create the creation created by the creator. see? we can't even create our own bones. instead, we replace them with other things that looked similar.. |
so, here we are in this world. should we live like the other animals? now that we have the ability to think? what should we do? clues? refer to it? why only us, humans, are given the ability to think? why?

A Clarification
assalamualaikum
tadabbur alam bro!
as mentioned previously, for this post, i would like to explain a little bit about "the meeting". "what meeting?", said by anonymous. it's a meeting, held to build plans to save the mankind. yes. indeed. or in smaller perspective, it's a meeting to save our friends, family and nation. it's not an official meeting though. thinking of the word "meeting", i'm sure this picture would appear in your head now,
but then, "the meeting" i'm talking about is much much much more different although the concept is basically the same. people meet and talk and give out their opinions and a person would talk to present their ideas and so many and's. and this "meeting" can be done basically everywhere. not just in a room, in a car, around the table etc. it's quite flexible actually. "enough with the quoting already!". okay, just a little bit more. bear with me.
 |
| a meeting |
the difference between the meeting shown above and the "meeting" i'm talking about is in the relationship that occur between the people in the meeting. in normal meeting, such as above, the meeting goes on, and when it ends, everyone return to their original places. i mean, everyone just get back to work and think about their own problem.
however, the "meeting" i'm talking about is very special. the meeting, if directly translated, can be pronounced as "family". magical. it's like attending a family meeting. you can get along with others. get some advice about life and ask about things you don't understand. the main idea in this family meeting is to propose and plan a way to help others who are not joined. in other words, expanding the family.
family members with different backgrounds with the same goal. yes.
 |
| i dont know who these guys are, but just an example of a big family i'm talking about |
about the turning point i've mentioned before, unfortunately, that would be next time. buddy called, it's time to go. where to?

It's Been Awhile
assalamualaikum,
yes, it' been quite awhile since my last post. joining JAD took away all the time for relaxation and blog. everyday is a tough day filled with tests and quizzes. it's hell in here, but you know what they say, "when you are going through hell, keep going". yes, and i'm gonna do that. so, why the sudden post? there's nothing special but just a short story of mine.
this program is really tough. lots of mental and physical challenges but at the same time filled with lots of joy. countless memories had been made until today and recalling all those things had blown away the nasty part. lots of thing had occurred to me, and it changes me a lot. i have a different way of thinking now and my views on certain aspects are different now.
there's something in here that i believe i won't be able to receive it if i'm not here by now. there's something in here that my thoughts alone won't make it through. i've been attending this special "meeting" right here in JAD and this "meeting" had opened my eyes to see things that i've never seen before. it's not some sort of secret conspiracy but just something that is new from my perspective but old to others.
this thing, this "meeting", i believe this is my turning point and i'm still drifting along the corner and i'm sure it won't be an easy turn. but insyaallah, my drifting momentum shall continue until the end of the corner. insyaallah, i shall post more information about this "thing" in my next upcoming post. when would it be? it'll be there when the time is right.
i had my japanese speaking exam today. it was.... err, let's hope for the best shall we? and coming up next is the final exam of the semester and it won't be eaaaaaaaaasy. do pray for me. until next time.

Sweet
assalamualaikum.
first and foremost, judging from the time interval from my last post, seems like I've stopped blogging.
let me be the first to tell you guys, that's not true.
my not-so-new life here in beranang is ridiculously hectic and stressful.
every single minute has its own work to be done and to be passed up at the next minute.
it's not like i don't have "life" here.
it's just that, there are so many things to be done and i'm still finding a grip to hold on for even just awhile.
in the weekdays, lesson starts from 8am and then finishes at 5pm with just an hour lunch break at 1.15pm.
believe me the studying never stops even in the weekends. the amount of ridiculously hard assignments and works are countless and it keeps coming without any sign of stopping.
therefore, i guess i have my rights to stop posting some new things for awhile.
time is gold - this phrase works wonder in here and to think that I've never treated my time nicely before.
time sure flies.
insyaallah there'll be another post. hopefully.

So I Left..
assalamualaikum..
after the mischievous interview with the ypm (yayasan pelajaran mara) representatives, i received a call two days after the interview. i earned myself a full scholarship from ypm for the jad programme (japanese associated degree), (supposed to be "associate" without the letter "d" but i can't help myself). and some calls from those people knowing that i earned the scholarships with the same question. "are you going or not?".
if i go for the jad programme, i'll spend my next 3 years in kktm beranang and with a good result i can spend the next 2 years of my life in japan. hoooray, sounds nice but i'm already used to utp!
therefore, as usual, the voices came to disturb my conscious mind. "japan!japan!japan!" and after a few discussions with these people, somehow i changed my mind and made myself a decision that changed my life forever. "mom, let's go".
goodbye utp and hello kktm beranang, i was expecting something that can make my leave worthy. here goes nothing. the voices, seriously not helping at all.

Oh My GPS..
3 June 2012
assalamualaikum.
a few days earlier i received a call from ypm (yayasan pelajaran mara) asking whether i would like to attend an interview to earn myself a full scholarship from ypm for the jad programme (japanese associated degree). the operator gave me 5 hours of thinking and my head began to buzz for that day. my phone's credit started to flew away quite fast as i tried to get everyone's opinions which were not helpful at all. actually i don't really want to go for neither the interview or the scholarship. but, oh yes my greedy blood strikes again. "mom, let's try".
okay, 3rd of june. it's the day before the interview and the interview will be held in kolej kemahiran tinggi mara beranang, selangor. so i was like, "where the heck is beranang, never heard of this place before". and my sister was like, "no worries, we got gps". and i was like, "awesome, we'll reach there in no time". so we set the gps for the kktm beranang but the name beranang was never there. therefore, we simply put kktm in selangor.
not used to the complicated highways of kuala lumpur, my father got dizzy of driving and we got lost inside kuala lumpur highways simply because of the multiple junctions of the highway. dont blame him, blame the signboards! even the gps is useless at that time because the gps-readers in the car were not sure of their readings and cant tell my father on when to make a turn on time.
finally we reached kktm... petaling jaya. thank you gps. y u no show kktm beranang!? so we asked for directions. thanks to the policemen of balai polis kajang, we finally know where we should speed off to. a total of 10 hours were spent in the car as we finally arrived in beranang. oh gps. it was like 12am and we took a rest in a hotel near kktm beranang. man it was a long drive!
