UIA PJ revisited.

Okay, saya tulis dalam Bahasa Melayu sebagai persediaan untuk Ujian Penempatan Bahasa Melayu di Kampus Utama di Kuantan nanti. (bapak skema)
Entri ini akan jadi lebih kurang macam karangan 'Tempat saya pergi' yang sering disiarkan di Majalah Kuntum semasa sekolah rendah dahulu.

Dua hari lepas, kami sekeluarga telah menghantar adik lelaki saya untuk melanjutkan pelajaran ke Pusat Asasi Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia yang terletak di Petaling Jaya.
Setelah beberapa bulan tidak menjejakkan kaki ke sana, saya berasa agak sedih apabila mengenangkan nostalgia lama selama dua tahun berada di situ. Dan tak sangka, dua tahun itu sudah berlalu. *cepat mengalirkan air mata kelakar anda*.

Pepatah Inggeris mengatakan 'a picture speaks a thousand words', di mana dalam Bahasa Melayu, boleh ditafsirkan sebagai 'sebuah gambar menceritakan seribu perkataan perkara' ? Saya pasti kamu faham. Tak payah menceritakan perkara yang tidak penting. Jadi sekarang ini, saya ada tangkap mengambil banyak sangat gambar. Kamu tengok sendirilah.



Tengok itu. Car Park Full. Pendaftaran bermula pada 8.30 pagi. Kami sampai pada lebih kurang 8.40 pagi. Ibu bapa lebih bersemangat berbanding anak mereka lantas mengejutkan anak mereka yang sedang tidur nyenyak supaya datang awal ke sesi pendaftaran.


Beberapa buah kanopi berwarna putih disediakan bagi kemudahan ibu bapa dan para pelajar yang penat menunggu di bawah sinaran terik mentari. :P


Pakcik pengawal trafik yang gagah lagi perkasa

Jika anda membesarkan gambar ini, anda dapat melihat kasih sayang seorang ibu terhadap anaknya dengan mengikat (?) tali leher anaknya.

Selautan manusia yang bertali arus (?)

Jelas kelihatan riak gembira pada wajah masing-masing. -_____-

Mengambil angka giliran




Suasana pendaftaran dalam dewan(sorry maaf gambar kurang jelas :P)


Ibu bapa dan kaum keluarga saudara terdekat jiran tetangga


Sudah tiga bulan tinggalkan CFS baru tahu kolam depan A&R dah buat baru. Tapi takde ikan dan kura-kura pun. :(




Kerusi tu kan, yang pertama dari kanan. Itu kerusi pertama saya duduk waktu saya mula-mula pendaftaran dulu. Nostalgia, nostalgia.


Miss Guard Cik Pengawal :P meronda-ronda.


Pakcik-pakcik yang kacak-kacak belaka.



Jika diteliti gambar ini, ramai di antara mereka yang membawa sekali sinar X-Ray. Tak perlu la.Hari ketiga dan seterusnya baru ada pemeriksaan kesihatan. Adik saya tak bawa sebab saya cakap tak perlu bawa, hoho.





Adikku telah mendapat bilik yang ada compartment? Cis, sungguh tak adil!


Anda kenal tangga ini? Haha. Perasaan teruja kerana pertama kali dapat turun di tangga ini. :P



No women/girls allowed. Dekat ZC tak pernah jumpa pun papan tanda amaran ini. Untuk lelaki. >___>



Oh, macam ini rupanya keadaan tandas lelaki




Tengok itu. Compartment sebuah, katil sebijik sebuah, bukan double-decker pulak tu, almari besi. Best.



Notice board pun ada dua! Perghh


Tetapi tingkap ada satu sahaja. Kecil pula tu. :P


Ni yang paling best. Satu compartment satu kipas, satu lampu. Heaven!


Cermin besar gedabak. Bukan orang lelaki tak payah guna cermin ke? Bukan diorang tak sikat rambut ke?


Biasala, UIA.


Perpustakaan.
Jambatan menuju ke bangunan Annex



Ramai-ramai bawa beg, bantal, segalanya.




Dan pada waktu petang...



Pondok pengawal yang menjadi saksi kepada 'keprihatinan' Pakcik pengawal terhadap 'dress-code' para pelajar CFS sehinggakan ada yang mengasaskan kumpulan 'kami anti pakgad UIA'. Ini adalah kisah benar.


Kingdom Hospital Mahallah Khadijah a.k.a KC



Boleh tahanla. Kalau adik-adik nak tahu, waktu mula-mula kakak(pulak) datang ke UIA, KC ni sangat buruk tapi setelah mengalami pengubahsuaian, barulah sedap mata memandang. :P

Umar al-Khattab College dari pandangan depan.

Keesokan harinya, datang ke UIA lagi sebab nak ajak Syafiq makan dekat UIA sebab kereta banyak sangat tak boleh keluar dan makanan di UIA ni murah pada pandangan orang-orang dewasa yang sudah bekerja.



Kafe jejantas! :D


SM Building


Tangga dari ELD dan QLD menghala ke restoran jejantas/ SM Building/SMAWP/mana-mana pun boleh


UIA ni memang banyak tangga dan bukit. Tangga ini menghala ke kafe jejantas


Tempat Sarah, Solehah, Suhaila, Afzan, Zafirah siapkan report Chem Lab pada saat-saat terakhir selepas habis sahaja kelas Physics Bro Wan Syahrum di Blok E. Rindu2. :(



U-cafe. Kafe kegemaran di UIA. Lepas habis kelas, mesti pergi sekali dengan Soul(Solehah), 'Aina, Ummu, Kinah, Su'aidah (the evil triangle) makan kat sini. Kadang-kadang sambil nak habiskan tutorial Physics, makan breakfast dengan Soul, Aina, evil triangle, Suhaila, Afzan, Zafirah, Syau, Fizah, Aliaa, Alkaff, Sofi, Atiqah. Rinduuuuu.  Join dua meja (kadang-kadang tiga meja) sekali, conquer tempat depan menghadap TV, pegang remote Astro tukar channel KBS World tak bagi orang lain tukar channel lain. Heh.



Tengok, tangga lagi. Tangga dari U-cafe menuju ke Kafe bawah yang merupakan satu-satunya cafe tak pernah makan kat situ sepanjang duduk UIA ni sebab tu kafe brothers.


Port hang-out Solehah, Sarah, Syidah waktu petang-petang nak dinner. Chicken chop dia, fuhh, marvelous!
Lepas tu usha orang balik kelas dari Blok E, LOL.



Pandangan dari 'balkoni' U-cafe. Pusat Asuhan Kanak-kanak. Lecturer UIA senang je. Kalau ada anak kecik, hantar je kat sini. (semakin lama rasa Bahasa Melayuku semakin sempoi)

 
Pandangan dari U-cafe. Anda boleh lihat Kafe jejantas, Central Spine dan KC


Female toilet under construction, huhu. 'Gambar mcm ni pun nak amik?' ayah saya bertanya.
Dulu pernah sekali tengah cikgu ajar dalam kelas di Blok E, terperasan yang kad matrik hilang. Maka berlari pecutla dari Blok E ke tandas ini di bangunan kafe jejantas. -____-


AED Studios, Bangunan IRK, ZC tercinta



Mengambil gambar U-cafe dari celah pokok dan belukar. XD




Blok C yang menyimpan seribu misteri (wah, rhymes! :P)


Blok E. Dahulunya merupakan 'British Chalet' yang dikitar semula menjadi kelas. :P


Laluan berbukit dari Blok E dan Blok C menuju ke Kafe jejantas. Jalan berbukit ni la tempat diri ini berlari pecut dari Blok E ke tandas kafe jejantas untuk mencari kad matrik, sambil berbaju kurung.


Blok C


Zainab College dan Netball Court. Dulu selalu Hisbah Ummu Atiyyah (the best hisbah to date) adakan Family Day Hisbah dengan Treasure Hunt kat sini. BEST!



Budak-budak lelaki yang kacak bergaya nak tunggu turn tangkap gambar untuk matric card. :P

Maka dengan itu, tamatlah kisah ini. Ada banyak lagi gambar sebenarnya. Tapi malas nak memuat-naik gambar-gambar tersebut. Apa, ingat senang ke? Kalau internet 1000 Terabyte per second takpe gak.
Dan ini juga menunjukkan saya tidak boleh menggunakan bahasa Melayu baku pada setiap masa. Huhu, maaf bagi pencinta bahasa ini. 60 gambar pulak tu. Agak-agak boleh masuk Malaysia Books of Records tak? Haha

UIA ni memang best. Tempat kita jumpa kawan, tempat belajar, bukan sahaja hal akademik tetapi juga hal kehidupan seperti jangan mudah mengalah, jangan mudah berputus asa bila mendapat keputusan peperiksaan yang agak teruk pada semester lepas dan berusaha sehingga akhirnya mendapat Dean's List pada semester seterusnya. :P
Tempat kita belajar tentang semangat bekerjasama dan setiakawan, tempat kita bergelak ketawa, menangis, gembira. Tempat yang membimbing kita tentang perkara di dunia dan akhirat. Tempat kita dapat kawan-kawan foreigner dari negara-negara macam Papua New Guinea, Nigeria, dan sebagainya. :P
Banyak lagi keistimewaan UIA ni yang kita tak dapat jumpa di universiti lain. Rugi tau siapa yang tak dapat belajar kat UIA ni. Orang-orang tepilih sahaja. :P Ah, rezeki orang lain-lain.

ex-CFS students tahun 2008-2010, cepat bangun nyanyi lagu CFS buat kali terakhir! And cepat ingat balik zaman taaruf week yang kena paksa dengan taaruf committees hafal and nyanyi lagu ni berpuluh-puluh kali (exaggerating) tengah panas terik dekat padang tu.

Aminulrasyid Amzah Vs Police and Sarah vs Weird woman

My mum asked me to write this in my 'Facebook or whatever' instead of  to keep on expressing my dissatisfaction towards 'that thing' VERBALLY. Well, here it goes. 

My mum asked me to send my sis to her tuition place, which is located at a few kilometres from my house. So I sent her there. All went smoothly UNTIL.....

Okay, I turned/navigated the car to the left to 'U-turn'. And one impatient car suddenly speed-ed in front of me, which resulted to me almost hitting her car, of which, I DID NOT. Okay fine, I know my mistake. She too, should know that I'm just a probationary driver with the 'P' sticker at the back of the car. I did NOT hit her car! If I did, I would have heard some scratching sound and a BAM! sound upon contact with that car of HERS. Yes, HER. Not him. Only women would be emotional (cakap pasal diri sendiri).


 In a way, I do admit that it's PARTLY my mistake. The faults shouldn't be placed entirely on me. I know my mistake, and so I went off just like some inconsideratedriversyouseespeedingoffonthe highwaythoughyou'rebloodyangrywithhimbutyoudon'thaveanychoicebuttolether/himgoandcursingandmutteringinthecar,blabbing,cursingagain.


Well, what do you expect? Do you need to follow that inconsiderate driver to her house, DEMANDING a measly apology?


YES! That's what she just DID! I am 90 % sure that I didn't hit her car and then she went off chasing me like a lunatic driver, following me to my house, which made me 90% sure that I had hit her car. Initially, she was going to the opposite direction. After that almost-accident incident, I looked at the rear mirror and heaved a sigh of relief, making a mental note NOT to ever do that again! Then suddenly she sped off, FOLLOWING ME! Dahla laju pulak tu!


I didn't stop. It's my fault. Who asked me not to stop? But then maybe, I made quite a wise decision of not stopping and just straight away letting her followed me to my house. She kept on honking her car at me!
Then, I stopped in front of my house. She stopped. She went out from her car. Her face all angry. I went out, looking at her for a moment, waving my hand, saying I'm sorry and went inside the house. And she asked angrily 'Hah, nak pegi mana tu?'

Excuse me, it's my HOUSE! Do you expect me to stop at some stranger's house and went in? It's my house la, woman, even if you want a compensation for the so-called damage I've done to your not-a-BMW-nor-is-it-a-mercedes-car-but-instead-it's-just-a-measlyMYVI you can just come to my house.


I said to her 'Sorry, saya nak jumpa mak saya!'
My mum opened the door, let me in and I said 'I hit somebody's car! She's outside!' and I went inside, hiding like a coward. My mum put on her tudung and went outside. 


Then she talked to that lady.Oh wait, WEIRD WOMAN. I'm expecting the woman to demand a compensation or what. Then my mum went inside, saying 'No la, you didn't hit her car,'
I was flabbergasted. Now why the heck did she follow me back to my house, behaving like some psycho lunatic?


My mum said that she just wanted me to stop and thus 'advising me on the right and correct way to drive as I'm stilla probationary driver'. I got sick when I heard this.Who does she think she is? JPJ people? Driving instructor?

I asked my mum 'Would you or Abah went on chasing some drivers back to their houses when there's no damage done to your cars? Only weird people would do that,'


I was so FURIOUS with that WEIRD WOMAN. Still am furious. My mum calmly said 'She just wanted to talk to you nicely, bagi nasihat, all that,'
Oh really? As if she would talk to me 'nicely' .She would have 'marah-marah me instead!Like, seriously, kan?? I can read the personalities and behaviours of weird people who come chasing some inconsiderate drivers to their houses. They are not very patient! Those weird people, I mean.


And my mum said 'Next time, when the same situation occurred, stop,'

I asked back lamely 'What if that person's a guy? It will be dangerous!'

'Don't get out from the car. Just say 'Aunty, I'm really sorry,' and just let her babbled and scold you absent-mindedly on what she has to say,'
My mum is a very calm person. I am not like her. I am still growing. She's a matured lady. I am not. She is a well-behaved adult, whereas I am an immatured-childish-infantile teenager (I'm still 19!) who doesn't know how to handle such measly problems.


Okay, I'm slowly letting it go now. It really infuriates me to think that she FOLLOWED ME all the way home just to DEMAND an apology when there's NO DAMAGE DONE?! I repeat, her car is OK! No dents, no scratch, no whatever! 


Now I know who's the one who is NOT MATURED. Even adults do not behave like adults. That's a FACT. I bet she is furious for not being able to scold me right onto my face. HAHAHA.


And thinking back, I couldn't help but to correlate the situation that happened to 15-year-old Arwah Aminulrasyid Amzah, who drove his mum's car at the wee hours of the morning. Saw a road block and sped off to the opposite direction while the police chased him and later, shot him.


Now I know how he must have felt. He must have been very scared while he was inside the car, the police chasing after him. I was very scared too, with that woman chasing after me.
He did not stop. Me too. I did not stop. He wanted to escape from his problems. Me too. I wanted to escape. That shows that he is not matured (of course, he's just FIFTEEN!). I am still not matured, running away from problems (in that case, that weird woman). I should have just faced her like a matured adult. I learned my lesson. Next time, stop. Don't panic. Be extra extra careful when driving the car.


And I bet, in fact, I'm 100% sure that Arwah Aminulrasyid must have learned his lesson to NEVER ever secretly used his mum's car when the police chased after him. I'm sure that he will not do the same thing ever again if he is still alive. But too bad, the police shot him. 


I'm grateful though. That it's the WEIRD WOMAN who chased after me for some small reasons and not some police. And I am grateful that I am still alive. At least I learned some lessons and know how to behave and react the next time around (of which I don't ever want to encounter again). I feel sorry for arwah. He is still fifteen. He is not matured. He could have learned ONE valuable lesson on that fateful night (morning) if he could have just stopped, and thus not being shot to death by the police.


I should stop running away from problem. I never did, this is the first time I ever ran from a problem. Or that problem will come chasing after you (that weird woman). Instead, I should just face the problem (that weird woman), and after that woman had finished her lectures-on-how-to-become-an-excellent-responsible-matured-driver-just-like-her, I could just go home, smiling proudly for I have tackled that problem just like how an adult should do. 

I do not blame the police. I do not blame Aminulrasyid either. It's just, things happened... It has been destined.


I will still drive. That measly problem will not affect me nor will it leaves a scar on me. It will be a constant reminder to me whenever I drive. And that will make me be extra careful and calm instead of being panic-stricken girl I've always been.


After all, life is a series of lessons. You learned about the mechanism of heart beats or whatever from Biology Class, you learned Calculus from maths Class. You learned about life from well...life itself.


Thank you Allah. Thank you Mum. Err..thank you, weird woman. And sorry. 
Another lesson learned: Patience. Sabar itu separuh daripada iman.

I'm gonna become a Drug Dealer! Cool, huh? :P

First of all, those who are reading now, please don't report this to Agensi Anti Dadah Kebangsaan or even, the Police. I don't want to go to court, jail, Pusat Serenti, etc. O___o

I HATE DRUGS. YOUTH ABHORES DRUGS! Erkk, it doesn't sound as catchy as 'BELIA BENCI DADAH'. Justeru, saya benci dadah! Fullstop!

Instead of becoming those good-for-nothings drug dealers out there, yang merosakkan bangsa, agama dan negara, I'm going to become an 'educated' drug dealer. The one with degree of specialization in drugs. The one who is licensed to sell drugs. The one who sells drugs legally, LOL.


Drug dealer? In some overseas countries, pharmacy is called drug store. So, pharmacist equals to...drug dealer! Sort of XD. So when I said I'm gonna become a drug dealer, it means that I'll become a pharmacist in the future, insya-Allah.Alhamdulillah. I'm eternally grateful.


CFS students, you can check your online offer letter of admission to Kulliyyah here. :)

www. iium.edu.my/anr  and click on the online offer letter for ex-CFS students. Key in your old matric number and I.C. number. It's easy as ABC. But maybe the internet connection lambat macam siput, so be patient la.
Don't have enough space for these printscreens,so I resized it to 'large'.Don't care, LOL.



I'm so poyo. As if people would want to stalk me or what.. T________T.



Oh,thank you government, haha. :D
One thing I'd like to know is do we have to apply for PTPTN? Then what about the JPA Penajaan Tambahan SPM 9As above? Dah isi borang semua, then what? 

EDIT: A senior said that JPA will sponsor students from these three courses (Medic, Denti, Pharm) so no need to apply for PTPTN. Well, hopefully. 

Again, Thank you Allah. If this is the path that you have destined for me to be in, then I'm sure that it is the best for me. Congrats to all. Somehow, I'm quite worried, oh, never mind that.

On top of that, my younger brother Syafiq is offered a place in CFS, IIUM in the Engineering course. Alhamdulillah. His matric number starts with 101 and mine too, starts with 101. Hehe. 


Alhamdulillah. =)

Oh, just found out that drug dealers are called 'street pharmacists'.  T_____T

I grew up watching Classics

People might call me old, but I love listening to oldies songs. I grew up watching a variety of classic movies, musicals, and I love to sing-along together with the casts. Those movies are immensely popular during the old days and still are ( I guess).

First of all, my ALL TIME favourite classic:
MARY POPPINS (1964)
I ADORE MARY POPPINS!:D
Mary, Bert, Michael and Jane. :)

Mary Poppins, played by Julie Andrews (Queen Clarisse from The Princess Diaries)

The movie has a lot of memorable quotes and the songs, musics, dances, are awesome. My favourite saying would be
'SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIUS!' Try saying it in one go! :P

 The Sound of Music (1965)

Maria is portrayed by Julie Andrews too! 
Captain Von Trapp (Christopher Plummer) is hot! singing 'Edelweiss' with his children. 
The Von Trapp children.

This one's my favourite too. As usual, this movie has a variety of AWESOME songs.

And to tell you this, the Korean Drama 'You're Beautiful' uses some ideas from this movie.
Maria is a wannabe nun. Go Mi Nam (I forgot her real lady name) is a wannabe nun.
Maria is uncertain whether this is the path she should really take. The same goes with Go Mi Nam.
Maria has a Mother Superior who always supports her. Go Mi Nam too.
Maria went out from the church. Go Mi Nam, like duh!
Maria has a beautiful voice. Go Mi Nam -Like duh duh duh!
Okay, that's all. Can't afford to list more. -____- You'll understand what am I talking about if you watched both the classic movie AND the Korean Drama. :P

 My Fair Lady (1964)
Audrey Hepburn is super 'loverly'! This movie won EIGHT Academy Awards.
It tells the story of Eliza Doolitle, a flower girl who turned into a lady by Professor Henry Higgins. Well, sort of. Julie Andrews was supposed to play the part of Eliza Doolittle but the director (?) picked Audrey Hepburn to play the part instead. Rex Harrisson wasn't really happy initially. O___O
Higgins and Doolittle.

The King and I (1956)
a 1956 movie starring Deborah Kerr as Anna Leonowens and Yul Brynner as King Mongkut.
King Mongkut and Anna Leonowens. An odd couple. :P
King Mongkut Yul Brynner is effin funny! I cracked each time I see his face and heard him saying his most favourite word in the film- ETCETERA, ETCETERA, ETCETERA. :D
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968)
Stars Dick van Dyke who played Bert in Mary Poppins.
I don't remember much about the storyline. But I can recall that there is a widowed inventor who live with his children. He invented a car that could fly and off they went to a faraway land. Sounds interesting, huh? Of course, ROALD DAHL co-write the story! :D

Bedknobs and Broomsticks(1971)
David Tomlinson who played George Banks in Mary Poppins starred as Emelius Browne in this movie. 
They ventured into the world of animations-literally. It's quite similar to Mary Poppins. About the storyline, I do remember that the woman is a witch next door, Emilius Browne is a widowed father with three kids. They had an adventure, traveling on the bed.Err, well, correct me if I'm wrong.

The Wizard of Oz (1939)
I'm sure you guys are familiar with this story.

Dorothy, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, Tin Man

Gone With The Wind (1939)
It tells the story of a vain,spoiled and beautiful woman named Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh) who is very popular with the guys. But the one she truly loves is Ashley (yeah, a guy) who unfortunately, loves another woman and is engaged to marry that woman. Scarlett then married Rhett Butler (Clark Gable). In the book, it is stated that Scarlett married a couple of times before getting married to Rhett Butler. The setting is in the midst of World War 1.
This movie has a rather tragic ending. No happy ending. Thanks to the selfish Scarlett who finally realised that the one she truly loves is Rhett Butler. But then, it's too late already, huh!
Margaret Mitchell refused to write a sequel. I don't know why. But Alexandra Ripley had been assigned by the Mitchell estate to write 'Scarlett', the sequel to Gone with the Wind. I've read the book when I was in secondary school and it has happy ending, like finally!

Scarlett O'Hara in front of the antebellum house in Tara.

I remember that TV3 used to broadcast these wonderful classics during school holidays in the 'Alam Ria Cuti Sekolah' segment in the 90's. Disney did, too.

That is, before DISNEY CHANNEL ORIGINAL MOVIES like High School Musical, Wizards of Waverly Place, Hannah Montana the movie, Camp Rock, etcetera, etcetera(I'm imagining Yul Brynner's face as I said this, LOL) become popular.

Ah well, I still choose Mary Poppins over the overrated teenage love story of High School Musical. 
:D

 First movie is excluded. The sequels are getting more and more overrated and annoying (to me, at least).
I like this scene! :D

Alamak, what am I doing? I'm supposed to write about classics, not to start all over on the reviews of the High School Musical trilogy!
I shall digress now.
Or maybe I should stop.
:D

But before that,my most favourite Disney modern movie.

Most probably  it's because Julie Andrews is in it.:D
END.
