WAS IT A MISTAKE?

I just had my Petroleum economics class and my lecturer triggered the whole class with  this chain of questions.  
Note: These dialogs have been rephrase

Mr E: 5 years ago, if you didn’t accept to be here in UTP what will you be doing now?

No one responded and then he follows with the next question

Mr E: Which is better, to further your study or get a scholarship and pursuit in UTP after your SPM?

Once he done, the class starts to buzz around as if there’s a group of bees flying in the room. Mr E didn’t give up, he continues

Mr E: I know it’s too late for you to make decision caused you made one. But how hard you study to get a good result, a student with 3.9 CGPA will get the same beginning salary as 2.9 students if they were to be offered in the same company.

My goodness, what is he trying to tell us? Everyone starts to do silly faces with few responded to his question. When I looked back there’s a point and truth there with his opinion. He looked at us as smirked,

Mr E: If you chose the ‘working’ road last 5 years you people will have your own money and you might already be in the supervisor position if you are a hardworking like you’re now here. But what happen now, once you graduate, you have a 100 thousands burden on you.

The way he delivered that was like he’s trying to tell us that ‘Can't you see, you made a very big mistake!’. Urgh, I can’t say that I totally disagree with him. At a certain point, I think he’s right in terms of the chasing good results attitude. Yet, the salary offered will be the same as the others. Then what’s the point of getting good result?

Sorry if my opinion is wrong. I’m not trying to stir the pot or rock the boat but I think the only thing that can boost back the spirit of study is that the employers will call those with good result first to the interview. I’m not saying the average students will not getting any offers but it still depends on the luck and rizq of a person. As what Bill Gates says

So the moral message from this is “Work our best to get the best. We don’t have to be the best student but all He wants is for us to try our best hard to get His bless”

So long :)

My American friend

This post is dedicated specially to her. She's a friend of mine from a different side of the world. When I look back, they aren't that bad as we thought. For me, the westerns are more open minded and honest in their words. I'm not trying to deny my cultures here in Malaysia but what I can say is that "it's really hard to be honest and different here". I do have beautiful friends here in UTP (I dont have to say their names, they know who they are). They're like my shoulders, knees and neck when my family weren't around to hug me. But this is nothing to do with them it's about 2 different worlds that I've gone through, university vs high school


Ok, back to my point. This American friend is really a helpful friend and it seems like she has trust in me. Thank you so much dear :) Eventhough we were connecting from far using all the technologies and electronics mediums but that doesn't kill the relationship. Actually we'll be finishing our studies together in May/June 2011 and she'll be joining the industry sooner than me as she already got an offer in the States. Really happy for her!


Ok, to be honest, this morning I was really frustrated with one of my high school senior. Look, he's a Malay (same race as mine) but he was arrogantly blocked me from his facebook. That was actually the second time he did that. why can't he reject the friend request in a polite way to avoid any bad impressions (he didn't do that to my other friends). It's not like he doesn't know me. He used to teach me in our engineering drawing class and now he's declaring a war with me. Whatever Major Loser! I'm really pissed off with him. I'm telling you man, One day I really wanna show you I can earned better than you, live happier and be more successful in my career that you do!

That makes me feel really bad and emotional till I started to compare my high school friends with her. Back in 2001-2005 I wasn't the person I'm being now. I used to be more conservative and feel low about myself. It was my fault but can't eliminate the environment and the atmosphere there that made me to be the person I was. In SAB, if you have a low mind yet good physical figures, people will adore and worship you like hell. That evolved low-esteem in me. Once, I felt like turning back the time and be 15 again to change my pasts and make those people in the school realize my existence so that I can have bunches of friends and they'll always remember me even when I'm gone.

But today an American changed that, I felt that why should I look at the pasts. Let them flew away and never turn back to catch them. Future is what I have to focus on now. After all, those  high school bad reputations and impressions made me a stronger and tougher person in going through the college life. I made a better person in me now and I'm very happy with myself regardless what others would say about me.


Thanks friend for that wake-up alarm!

So long :)

House or Mansion?

Have a look at these pictures below: Should we call it a house or a mansion? Even reborn can't make me own these kind of 'palace'. MARVELOUS!!

So long :) XOXO

REGRET!

Today is the best day for me to talk about REGRET. So there are few incidents happen to me that make me feel lament about my own self decision in choosing "THIS" road of life. Spending my life here doing Petroleum Engineering is torturing me now. I couldn't say that I hate my life but I used to say 'NO' to my mom when she first offered me to do Petroleum Engineering in oversea. STUPID ME!

Now, I have to walk through this hardship life in UTP. Urgh! How I feel I can turn back my time and agree with her. PARENTS KNOW THE BEST! I made a dumb mistake. Ok, people don't jump to the conclusion. I ain't talking about my university or my program. My mission is to express how I felt about my major subjects. Here, they only offered 2 majors; either Reservoir Engineering or Drilling and Production. 

Lets flash back my study application. After finished high school, I told my parents that I really wanna do engineering but my heart said Mechanical Engineering. So, I applied for the scholarship doing Mechanical oversea which that was the first doom move I made that caused this illness. My mom told me to apply PE program instead of ME and I can further my study in the State. But because of lack in knowledge and more on stereotype kind of mind, I said no to her offer and my reason was simple "Petroleum Engineering is too harsh for a girl and it's just not suit me". Hell-O I made that statement. STUPID ME!

So I got an offer to do Mechanical in UTP instead, but after my foundation, I found out that I wanna try Petroleum Engineering so I left ME and pursuit my degree in PE. Actually I never had any regret feelings about my decision to join the upstream business of oil and gas till today. OK, to make clear, I don't mind to do Petroleum but kinda frustrating for me to study it here in UTP. Since I'm in the 2nd batch of the program so we are like the 'lab rat' in the department.

I chose Drilling and Production as my major because I can't stand the work task done by the Reservoir Engineers in the office. I'm totally not an indoor type of person, I like to move around. Oppsss! haha. But I think it doesn't matter how hard the subject is but with an adequate source of references and good guidance from the lecturers and tutors would really help much for me to understand the course. Unfortunately I didn't get those here. I love petroleum engineering but doing it like this would just only enfeeble my interest to be a UTP student.

Hurm whining, complaining, doubting aren't really helping me. I think I just have to live with this mistake and regretful decision till I graduate. I just have to start my own new skills and motivations to be the best among the best! I wish I had say 'yes' to my Mom ;( Anyway, regret is still a still regret, make it in a positive way, learn from the mistakes made to make a better decision in the future.

So long :)

Officially a GLEEK!

Ok, so I just finished watching the very first season of GLEE. I love the plot and how the creator made the series. I'm kinda impressive with the way the club was established and the determination that every members have in them. Eventhough it's just a drama world a.k.a not real but the messages that were spread out are worth watching. Ok, maybe that weren't the mission after all but all I can say is that it would be best if we can have that spirit and enthusiasm as those character in the series.

Oh ya, and not to forget... their outfits. They're simple, cheap yet attractive. Easy to work on with (match-up)

Poem :P

The sun rises with hopes,

The moon shines with smiles,

Praying and prayers are for bless,

Road heading in thousand miles

Walking down the Boulevard Road,

Chasing the breath till the old,

Smiling, winking makes the odd,

Alone being inside creates the cold

Metaphor and irony are made by cupid,

You came along to make me feel stupid,

Honest, hope and sincere were split,

That's when the time you tell me I'm insipid

I ain't no Shakespeare nor Grace Kelly,

Dare to put my head to the ally,

Can't really smile with beautiful glory,

When you step on all the memories

I felt the hills between me and you,

They're too high to climb and too huge,

Why can't you see my sorrow I lose,

Tears that keep my dreams flew

So long I know my favorite phrase,

I want to say this to your face,

Time's ticking and I feel the pain,

But I'll wait forever again

Aniq's Snapshots

Wah, it's been awhile I didn't update my blog. Kinda busy lately with Raya and my cousin's wedding stuffs. Ok, last few nights, I made my 1 year old nephew to take few snapshots for my blog. These are the pictures taken by Aniq:

Tok Bak's blur and misangled picture

Ateh's close up

Mama's sad face :P

Eventhough these pictures are blur but for a small little dude to snap those... I would say I'm kinda IMPRESSIVE with him. hehe GOOD JOB Aniq :) Muah!

Hari Raya ('',)!

Salam Aidilfitri to all!

It's Pagi Raya! All the males are busy getting themselves prepared for the Raya prayer in the mosque while the ladies are in the kitchen preparing the breakfast for their husbands and kids. Me? in a mild dilemma as my mom just asked me to accompany her to the mosque but I haven't had my sunat Raya shower yet. Urm, Ibu kita buat kat rumah je tak blh ker? let the males go to the mosque then you lead the congress here. haha like you used to do it back in 2008.

Ok2, the mosque just started the takbir and I'm still here on this white huge couch typing this post. I think this is my third attempts in writing something about Raya but I just kept on canceling the posts. Man, I just don't know what I want to share with other people about my Raya. As usual celebrating Raya in Johor is something that my family adores. We drove back from KL after the announcement by the Penyimpan Mohor-mohor Besar Diraja on the date on Hari Raya. We left KL at about 11 pm and Alhamdulillah the journey was smooth and we safety reached JB at about 2.30 am. We had our last sahur of this year's Ramadhan here and it was a tough and challenging day we had yesterday as it was the last day of puasa. Hihi

So, at 9.30 pm yesterday, Ebak had the lead on the tahlil and takbir here. It is the tradition in the family to gather on the Raya Eve and bermaafan instead of having it on the Raya morning. This is to give chances for those who are married to spend the first day of Raya with the other side of the family. But for me, unfortunately, this is the only kampung that I have and we have been like this every single year. It's not that I don't have any families on my Mom's side but they're just too busy with their own families and most of them are in KL. We'll visit them normally after we are back in KL

Raya pertama is normally a dull day for me as we are going to had few photograph session and watch the drama scheduled on the TV programs. Haha. I just think that this is because my late Grandma was the eldest and that is why we had quite number of visitors on those days but now since she's gone then a different and new system of visiting will happen. haha technical explanation isn't it? hikhik

This year, my family has a jumble colors of clothes. Ebak wears metallic red, Ibu in green, Kak Nurul in red, me in orange, Jaja in white and Hafidz in blue. see, rainbow! haha. I missed my grandma. the prayer just started. Ok2. so before i left this posting site, I am so thrilled that there is still Raya for me and I really hope that this culture of balik kampung will remains and lasting. Again I would like to wish every single muslim 'SELAMAT HARI RAYA EIDULFITRI'. Sorry for any bad deeds and words that I did for the past years! :)

simple card for all! :)

 Salam from me and family,

Garib Tom, Rohina, Shamsiyati, Nurulhuda, Iffah Garib, Izzah, Hafidz, Taufiq Zakir and Aniq Taufiq

So long for now~ weeeeee

Balik KL

(Hani you owe me a big time :P hihi joking babe)

Sebenarnya saya dah lama sangat tak menulis dalam bahasa Malaysia. Bukan tak patriotik tapi saya ni tak pandai nak berpuitis. hehe. Tapi demi raya akan ku cuba menulis pengalaman balik KL kami yang agak dramatic dan memorable dlm bahasa rojak yg sangat indah :P

Ok, It all started bile kami mulakan perjalanan pulang pada pukul 2 ptg. Perhentian pertama was the bank kesnya nak withdraw money and reload the touch n go. Aik pelik btol ATM ni asal takde reload services but touch pad TnG ada,,, haha so sbbkan rasa yg waspada takot2 balance dlm card RM4 je. Nanti ada yg tak sampai KL kang. So kami berhenti almost setiap petrol station sepanjang tronoh to Gopeng mana tau ader reload service provided kat sana.

Back to UTP. lepas habis withdraw, kami pon memulakan perjalanan. But awal2 kami dah plan kalau pak guard tanya pasal laptop, hani kata 'Iffah, kita declare laptop kita je ye. Awak punya tak payah lagipon laptop awk dlm bag pack tak obvious sgt'. So the deal was on. kami pon ngan muka confident stop kete bukak tingkap and perbualan bermula:

Pak guard: nak pergi mana?

Hani: nak blk

Pak Guard: Bawak laptop?

Iffah: tak, kami bw desktop

Pak guard: ok, bukak boot (Hani dah buat muka 'cam mana iffah')

Iffah: baik2 bukak pak cik, kang brg2 private pon nampak

Pak guard: huh, dah jumpa dah! pergi office isi nama

KANTOI!!! Ala kalau setakat isi nama ngan ID, pencuri laptop pon blh buat pak cik. Tak effective langsung system. Kantoi babe! Kantoi babe! But I bet ramai student buat camtu punya la... haha sbb kete belakang kami pon kena! hik hik hik. So lepas hani dah isi nama dier masok kete and trus drive. Tiba2 i rasa cam tak sedap hati pasal boot kete ni. Urm pak cik guard ni tutup ke tak tadi? Hani kata dah kot sbb takkan dier nak biar terbukak plus kalau tak lock, mesti dah blh dgr boot tu terbukak2 waktu on the road. So ok kami teruskan perjalanan pulang. Subway dah menanti ni! haha

So like I said earlier, kami berhenti kat around 4 petrol stations just to reload TnG ni. Tapi mmg takde langsung sampai tol. Takpe2 bile touch, balance ader RM24.50. ah lega cukup la untuk sampai tol Duta. haha Duke takpe RM 2 blh bayar cash. So nak dijadikan cerita atas highway ader la treler gler ni. mentang2 dier treler yg bawak kete baru nak poyo2 kan diri atas jalan buat aper? Treler tu takde muatan actually (aper ke namanya treler ni? adoi!) so setiap kali kitorng kat belakang dier rasa cam nak naik treler tu sampai KL. So kami blh la tido dalam kete. haha. As usual bile slow, kami potong la. then since kami slow, kami duduk la lane kiri. Tak salah kan kita. Bukan kami nak challenge pak cik tu. But dier ni dah panas dah sbb dah tiap2 kali jadi gni. So dier pon potong kami and hon. Dah la besar, hon sebelah telinga pulak tu. Aper cerita ni? Treler lawan Kancil. tak ke mana pon. so at first kami biarkan dier take over then drive jauh2 ke depan. Eh, about 10 mins kami kat belakang dier balik, So Hani drive potong dier yg tak berapa nak bagi tu (haha) and tinggalkan dier jauh2. Isk aper kes ni Hani last year balik raya ader pak cik gler. This year treler gler pulak. Aiseman! haha.

Ok, so Iffah tertido kejap ader la dalam 30 mins tp dah mintak permission Hani yer. haha. So sampai kat sungai buloh mata dah tak ngantok. Perut dah berkeroncong tunggu Subway and hati pon senang dah nampak langit KL. 'yiba yiba andre andre'. So kami drive through Duke and sampai la kami ke destinasi pertama iaitu AEON Jusco Setiawangsa (Hani, btol kan nama ni? haha). Isk, dalam on the way nak pergi surau solat asar, tiba2 nampak la kuih raya byk2. Selalunya diri yg kerdil ni blk raya bw something, but this time around takde benda langsung. Sorry org kat rumah! So I pon ckp kat Hani I takde benda bw blk KL. Nak jadi dramatic lagi. tiba Hani menjerit, genggam lengan Iffah yg takde muscle ni then ckp 'Kita tak bw blk kuih raya kita. Terlupa nak rushing sangat'. Jika anda di tempat saya, apakah respon yg akan anda berikan kalau nak gelak tak sampai hati nak sedih, over sgt la pulak. so kami gelak macam org gler kat mall tu. Hani kata takpe blh bw waktu dineer Raya. Haha

So lepas solat, kami pon berjalan cari subway, hahah tangan ni tak leh nak stop cari baju china cotton nak di pakai waktu Dinner raya nanti. Budget kami RM50 per piece je ok! haha so gitu gini gitu gini, kami pon nak blk naik kete drive towards the exit. haha tiba2 kami terdengar bunyi besi in contact waktu naik bump.

Iffah: kita rasa boot tu tak tutup la awk

Hani: agak la kt pon ader dgr bunyi

Iffah: eh, stop2.. barang kt paling atas tu. kang jatuh plak. adoi

Memang sah, boot kami terbukak sejak dari Perak lagi. Bertuah punya pak guard. lain kali tu pandai2 la tutup balik. kalau bag saya jatuh. cam mana? ader laptop tu. hahah. Agaknya la kan treler tu hon sbb boot tak tutup kot. takpe2 lantak pi la ngan pak cik treler tu. Alhamdulillah kami dah selamat sampai ke destinasi kami ngan selamat dan hati yg sangat senang tepat jam 7.15pm.

Sorry guys tak berapa pandai la nak buat dramatic sbb tangan2 and expression muka tak dapat nak ditunjukkan. haha.. Tp it was a funny moment yg kami takkan lupakan since this is like the last time kt blk raya dr UTP with all these vivid memories. haha

So, to end this, Saya nak ucapkan 'SELAMAT HARI RAYA, Maaf zahir dan Batin' to all. Have a nice and safe drive back home and kalau nak bagi duit raya, PM my facebook and I'll give you my account number. hehe

So long for now :)

Silent Treatment

I just realized that being alone or being unwanted is so obnoxious. It's not because a person is desperate but it is because the human nature that one want to be loved and love somebody. Now, it doesn't matter either you've found your Mr Right or Mrs Right but the main concern would be will the person be with you till the end of your life or he/she is just a platform for you to learn to control your feelings and work it out for a better decision.

Human will always misjudge and mistakenly make a wrong decision. But sun will never always shining and the moon will never always be there for you at night. Should we survive this world alone?

God promises one will have the other half of him/her but time will be the only factor that we can hold on to. Trust yourself and keep the heart widely open for a better opportunity. We prayed but that doesn't mean that He'll give it to us right after we say 'Amin'. Just to share something shared by one of my friend:

there are 3 ways that God will answers your prayers:

(1) He'll say 'YES' and give you what you want

(2) He'll say 'NO' and give you what you need

(3) He'll say 'WAIT' and give you the best

I learnt a lot from that. I know I shouldn't jump to the conclusion but it seems like my silent treatment is so not working. It's totally not a win-win situation. I will always be the victim of losers. I tried to block my mind, I failed. I tried to be start a new chapter and failed it too. So I'm kinda standing on the fence and hailing out the white cloth. I just have no guts to wear my heart onto my sleeve because I ain't good in expressing it and even worst to spill it out.

Talking about the silent treatment, I thought that it can eventually help me but it doesn't seems to be right and successful in my situation. I just felt that I'm off on the wrong foot. I dared myself to do things that are against my wills and principles and I think I'm overreacted with all those attempts and I fooled myself around. I blamed myself for the bad impressions because I'm so doomed with my own decisions. 

I made several mistakes in this and I think I will never regret myself from making those mistakes because I knew that I was the only one who put efforts and no blame on the other side as he doesn't even felt anything about it. People say find similarities and he'll realize you but I just can say 'I DISAGREE'. For me learn the weaknesses will help me to be prepared for any bad circumstances and understand the other side better. 

So I guess God is saying 'WAIT' to me and I'll wait and hope this would work for by hook or by crook! 

The more I silence myself, the more silence you are! So, the hypothesis FAILED!

So long for now. Till next post :)
