3rd Week - A Summary

 Actually, this was written last week. But I couldn't post this due to the super duper sloowwwwwwww wireless connection of IIUM Kuantan. Oh well.

3rd Week Summary

Baru tadi tengah best meluahkan perasaan dalam Bahasa Melayu pasal PakCik Teksi kat Berjaya Megamall Kuantan tapi oh man, internet DISCONNECTED* Takpe-takpe, relax. Tu post mengutuk orang sebenarnya. tapi Allah tak nak bagi saya dapat dosa jadi dia tak bagi saya publish post tu kat public. :) 

Anyway, I digress.
Last week, I had to undergo the audition for the emcee/ quiz moderator for the 2nd IIUM National Pharmacy Quiz that will be held after raya.
Besides me, there're many of my other classmates who tried their luck in the audition. Amiirah, Naza, Kak Nisah (she wanted to audition for Arabic Language, actually), Fatin Kamaruzaman and Adibah Mazlan, and three brothers from our class. Total, 9 first year students. Bersemangat, kan?
There were two or three seniors (2nd year students) who went to the audition as well.

Amiirah Rosli. The only English-exempted girl in the Pharmacy Rx9. Band 6 in MUET. Extensive (exaggerating, am I? XD) experiences in emcee-ing. Haha. The moment she opened her mouth, wow, we were awe-strucked. The seniors as well. Ah well, biasalah. Amiirah. :P
Then it was my turn. I began with salam and stated my name. First year.Then I read the text.
'Annoucing, the arrivals of  blablabla'.

The others are really good. So I don't really put high hopes, LOL.

Long story cut short (apa punya English daa) at 12 something a.m this morning (morning, not noon!) I received a message from Kak Hajar

'Salam. Congratulations! You have been selected as emcee/quiz moderator for 2nd IIUM National Pharmacy Quiz. You will be informed later about the training. Thank you :) '

Okay, so I got the job. Either the emcee or the quiz moderator. I don't know. Haha. Never mind. Alhamdulillah.

I wrote my name for the Kelab Debat Bahasa Melayu Kuantan. No English Debate team in Kuantan, so sad, huh? Then the Vice President sent me a message.

'Salam. Anda dijemput ke mass gathering kelab debat bahasa melayu Kuantan pada 2/8 (Isnin) di Musolla KOP. Maklumat lanjut leh rujuk gb group kdbmk. Jumpa di sana. Tq. Wslm.'

Initially, I intended to go to the so called mass gathering. But then I looked at the FB group and the blog of Kelab Debat Bahasa Melayu Kuantan. It seems like, if you decided to really join the club, as the debater, participating in various debate competition that will be held out of campus, you will miss lots of classes. So, no thanks. The lectures and studies are more important. Haha. XD

And I have been chosen/ voted to be the Setiausaha (Secretary) for the Assistant Batch Leader. Not a glamorous post. Tak buat kerja sangat pun.Cuma collect students' biodata. Naza berapa kali suruh update students' biodata tapi tak buat-buat pun. Pemalas punya setiausaha. :P

Studies and lectures went well, I guess. But I don't dare to say much about this. Let's just see how well will I fare in the quizzes. O___o.

What else? Balik raya! Yeah! Balik kampung. Aidil fitri this year will not be the same as the previous Hari Raya. I'm sure you know the reason why. :(

Anyway, UIA Kuantan will provide bus for 'orang-orang utagha' pi balik Ipoh, Butterworth, Sungai Petani, Aloq Staq, Kuala Perlis. Good! No need to go buy ticket from outside bus (err, whatever). So, I will go home to Sungai Petani tercinta (insya-Allah) together with Hanis. :DD. Can't wait!  Alhamdulillah, Allah permudahkan urusan nak beli tiket balik Kedah.

But oh, kesian budak-budak Dentistry. Hazie told me that they will still have a class on the 9th of September. Note: 10th September is the first day of Aidil Fitri. Kesian, kan? Dahlah kulliyyah jauh daripada Mahallah, ikut block system, banyak aktiviti sampai tak sempat nak stadi (dia yang kata), cuti pun tak banyak. Lepas tu bila habis first year, kena halau pergi keluar duduk IM2 (off campus) sekali dengan budak-budak Medic sebab brothers dari IM2 masuk dalam Talhah. Kasihan. Okay, kakak senior yang beritahu. Rumours aje kot.
Alhamdulillah. Tiba-tiba bersyukur dapat course Pharmacy walaupun takla 'se-glamour'course Medic atau Dentistry. Takpe, asalkan happy (err, setakat ni masih happy lagi la kot).

Oh yeah, JPA! Bila nak masuk ni? Kena tahan air liur daripada meleleh bila nampak paperback Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol. And other books. Anna Karenina's complete and unabridged version in leatherbound (so- called) cover for the price of less than RM30??? Cheesecake! I have to remind myself that there are other important things to buy rather than fictions. I haven't even finished reading Terry Pratchett's A Hat Full of Sky' that I borrowed almost two weeks ago!

A series of lab reports, UNGS term paper and BM presentation need to be submitted and presented. Oh well, the life of a student, right?

Preparations for Ramadhan? Aha, I have been ganti-ing my puasa since last week. Padan muka ganti lambat-lambat siapa suruh? Minggu ni habis ganti, insya-Allah. So, unlike the brothers, we the sisters won't face that much problems in suppressing our desire to eat (memang haram makan pada siang hari di Bulan Ramadhan), overcoming intense hunger and insya-Allah we won't feel that tired as compared to them. Dah banyak practise ganti puasa, what?? Okay, jangan riak. Insya-Allah Allah permudahkan perjalanan hidup di Bulan Ramadhan ni.

And alhamdulillah. Dan habis 4 juzuk al-Quran sejak masuk UIA ni. Bacaan pun dah lebih lancar daripada sebelum ni. Best pulak baca al-Quran ni. Alhamdulillah. Berusaha baca sekurang-kurangnya 2 muka surat setiap hari (waktu habis solat fardhu). Okay, teruskan usaha. Fighting!

Bertuah masuk UIA ni sebenarnya.
Kelas Tilawah- Baca Surah Ali-Imran dengan hafal surah dari An-Nas sampai Adh-Dhuha.
Study Circle- Hafal Hadith, Ibadah Camp, Hafal Surah al-Israk dengan al-Hasyr (beberapa potongan ayat).

Call mak almost tiap-tiap hari. Mak selalu pesan solat hajat setiap habis Isyak. Tengah nak menjadikannya satu tabiat yang bagus. Insya-Allah.

OKAA-SAN! I MISS YOU SO MUCH!!! :(((

I shall stop now. Another 2 minutes to 12 a.m. I'm not feeling sleepy yet so I shall study. LOL.

Toodles!
