Can You Count How Many Assignments That Need to be DONE? and READING WEEK !

Those colurful sticky notes (picture at left side) attached at my laptop are the list of assignments that need to be completed by 1st April 2008! Gosh! I can't say anything...just go through it one by one with a lil bit of patience and, strong will, of course! (sigh).

Forget about that one for a moment. Today is friday and that means, no class tomorrow and the next after tomorrow. Yeay! Next week is the week 7 of lecture and in the Britain's univ system, they call it as a Reading Week. Supposedly, there will be no class or lectures taking place BUT that doesn't apply to the Engineering School. From what I heard, only courses that involve lots of reading, for instance, Law or International Affair, that have been given that privilege. So, the lectures will still on going next week except for the Research and Methodology Technique class ( BUT, we have been told to complete our assignments when the class is halt (huh!)).

And tomorrow, I will visit Kak Yus and family in Ilford. Owh I really miss Bus No. 25 (Ilford - Oxford Circus)! I used to call Bus No. 25, "long bus" since it is really a long bus! It has 3 couches that can occupied more than 80 people during peak hour! That bus has been a main public transport for me to travel from my previous house to QMUL. And I really thank to Allah because I don't have to use that bus anymore. It is always full with people and that's make it difficult for you to get a sit! And travelling to home after finishing class, i tell you, it's not really a good experience! It's tiring and I really don't like being in such crowded area! huh!

okie dokie..I want to go for pray now....continue later! (^_^)

Strive for the Best!

Sorry for the late update! Really bizi this week with the presentation and classes! (sigh) Anyway, last tuesday, I had a chat with my coursemate, Helen. We talked about so many things; starting with the presentation. She told me that I was really freaking out when Dr. Mueller said that the time left was 2 mins more...hahaha, it was really damn funny! I acted like I saw a ghost!..hahaha.. Then, we talked about academic and even dragged into personal things!

However, among those topics, the one that I interested in most was about the academic things. Helen, she is an English girl, a native speaker, done her undergraduate study in Surrey, univ of and she is working now as a biomedical engineer. And in addition to that, she is a part time student but she manage to get 70++ for Clinical & Measurement paper and Ultrasound & Imaging paper which I consider as a brilliant results!

These 2 subjects are among the difficult one, for me. The only subjects that I guess I could do better are Analogue Electronics and Digital Electronics (that's because I already gain the foundation of it). The rest are totally suck and brand new for me! Nevertheless, when I heard that she successfully manage to, at least get above 70, at some points, I anticipate that nothing is impossible to achieve!

One of my bad attitudes is that, sometimes I just easily give up. I need some time to rebuild the courage again. But, with the continuous support from my fiance, family and friends, I am able to weather the storm. And today, I am quite happy! Why? Today's afternoon, as soon as I completed my PhD Writing class, I went to the School of Engineering & Material Sciences office to collect my 2 courseworks (from 2 different subjects) which I did last semester. And guess what? Against all negative expectations, the results were came up trumps! Alhamdulillah. Praise to Allah!

So, one thing for sure, NEVER GIVE UP guys! Never give up until you try it. And Try it with all genuine efforts and to the best that you could possibly do!

A leather jacket for a special one....

Yesterday, I went to several places; from Stepney Green tube station -> Gloucester Park -> Notting Hill Gate -> Marble Arch -> Edgware Road -> Whitechapel -> Used bus No. 11 (my 2 adorable legs hehe...) back to Stepney Green...Whoaaa...quite tiring actually because I didn't eat anything when I went out, only drank the plain water and yesterday, I guessed there was a tournament, Im not sure..rugby or what, it seemed like there were a lot of All Black supporters...owh crap, I really dunt know what the heck was going on yesterday?!lol! Sorry guys, I'm a lil bit backward regarding sport so I couldn't give any specific reasons for that gathering yesterday in Gloucester Park. Maybe if you check on the web, you will be able to find some info. about that (only if you are interested..I'm not!=p)

Anyway, I bought a nice leather jacket for my abah (father)..Don't ask me how much the price is; You surely say,"Are you crazy?". Well, I don't care, for me it is just a humble gift for my old abah, this jacket is nothing as to compare to what he has done for me, endured lots of hardships and pain juz to bring me up! As long as I could see his face smiling, it would be a great feeling for me indeed! =D

I juz find it difficult,on the other hand, to find a gift for my mak (mum)...She is not a fashionable women and she really doesn't like to look gorgeous! She is such a down-to-earth person...When I asked her; what she wants or what she likes? Her answer was soooo simple, "I don't want anything!" Huuuh, come to think of it, I guess all mums in this world will not say what they exactly want, if they have one, they just keep it in their heart! Such a pure heart reside in them! Owh, i really miss her sooo damn much! Hopefully, I could get something that is very very nice for her! I love u mak! I love u abah!

When I w0ke up this morning for Subuh pray, I looked at myself and started to realize that "I am not getting younger anymore...". This life is a forward process. Sometimes it needs a negative feedback and occasionally, requires a positive feedback to compensate and balance the life nature.

My age is going to be 25 this year...a quarter of century...for how long i can breathe the air, to experience the life, to view such a spectacular scenery that Allah, The Almighty has created. Yet, I haven't done any good things to be presented in front of HIM...

Ya Allah, forgive me, have mercy on me...guide me to the divine path...

Courseworks, Classes...wot a life!!!

HOLA !!!

After experiencing several problems last semester, personally, I think this semester is going quite well for me. It is just what I have been looking for! Like the old saying; there will be a rainbow after the heavy rains. Last week was really a frenetic week for me as I started my extra classes. That is to say, the English lessons have occupied a few additional hours of my weekday timetable! My daily schedule now is quite tight but it is something that I like about my new life in this new semester as an MSc student in QMUL. =)

Last semester I was not responsive enough compared to this semester. What I mean by that is I don't do anything to improve myself though I know that I am not good at English, I am too shy to speak with my classmates and I have a problem absorbing the points as I couldn't grasp the things that my lecturers said during lecture time (I have a serious problem in listening skill =( ). On top of that, I don't even dare to open my mouth to ask the lecturer because my self-esteem has been very low ever since I came to England and all sorts of negative thoughts cloud my mind!

Even so, I don't want to be like that anymore and that's why I decided to take a few English classes such as Grammar and Vocabulary class, PhD Writing class as well as a General English class this semester. I hope it is not too late for me! After attending the classes for the first time, I found that all classes were enjoyable and I didn't feel any stress as I would face when attending the subject lectures. We were free to ask any questions and at last, I manage to ask the lecturer a question even though I have never asked any of my lecturers before this! Probably because my other classmates are all at the same level (or slightly higher than me) so I don't really feel too much embarrassment if I make any silly mistakes in my sentence. =p

The learning atmosphere in the English class really assists me to absorb information effectively. The lecturer in Grammar and Vocabulary session is very kind, my Phd writing tutor is willingly to assist me in writing a good literature review for my MSc project while my General English lecturer is helping me to eradicate all my weaknesses concerning my English usage that may appear when doing the activities in class!

Right now, I discover that after all, being a student in QMUL is really electrifying and I am thrilled to see how far I can change myself to be a much better person in academic as well as in social life! Still, only the sky is the limit! =)

Till then
