Tiba tiba :)

It's my third semester in MMU but it's UTeM's second sem. I still see the same people from MMU, but UTeM being a public university have a policy of dismissing students who don't achieve required pointer limit. So yeah, having RD with me still, now I meet his new friends and classmates. But I've been so used to hanging out with his previous friends, I kinda miss them now :)

So this goes to the MK dudes and the rest I always hang out with. You guys are never forgotten :)

 

Not So Happy Valentine's Day :(

Being in a relationship does not guarantee a perfect Valentine's, in spite you don't have to be alone or partner-less. It hurts twice as much when you have a partner, but he decides not to celebrate or not to even care.

So yeah. My Valentine's ended up celebrated with Debra. Just the two of us. It's not we're pathetic or what cause we are each other's Valentines but it's not that we're single, or one of us are. We both have boyfriends. However our partners decide to skip Valentine's this year. Excuse : have to do other important stuff like studying, sleeping and in my partner's case, he doesn't celebrate Valentine's to begin with. There you go.

Started out the day doing normal daily things like going to class, lunch, facebooking and all. Dzul was sick that day so he didn't go to class. So I tried being romantic and all, bought bread, 100 Plus and Panadol to give it to him. When we met up, we ended up fighting. Bummer. Debra and I went to Mori Cafe right after. We had late lunch while talking, whining and pouring our hearts out. That's why we went to Mori in the first place, our usual relaxing cafe to bitch about things. Apparently Debra had guy problems too, safe to say. Then Ikram came to join us. Loneliness lessened.

Well we decided to skip our jogging session and reimburse with walking around the area. And so we did. We talked some more and went through a short meeting Debra has to proceed with. I gave Debs a little Valentine note just to make one person's day. I know it'll not suffice an equivalent weight of her spouse's, but I'd try my very least, knowing she'd appreciate it better from any other people in the world -.-

Then we sat at the Emerald Park sign in front of MMU entrance. Guess what? That was our so called special Valentine's celebration! So we toasted our Vitagens and ate our chocolate muffins then kept each others' company. Good enough to me. Better than moping in our rooms while watching some sad movie. There were mosquitoes so we ran in and sat in front of the staircase gates. And we talked some more.

When we ended our night, which I thought have ended, I'd call Dzul to see how he was. At first we talked nicely then we fought. Again. Went in my room and went online. Then I got a friend request from M Arif Daud.

As soon as I approved, he went on my Wall and liked every single thing he sees! Annoying much -.- So we chatted and how peculiar to be talking to Mad fully in English! Am so proud of ya, dude ;) He gave me a link on a girl singing One in A Million acoustically, superb singing weyhhh. Then we talked and talked. Until I realise he just made my day. I thought I had lost faith in having to end a day hating myself but I guess there's more to Valentine's Day that I'd thought. So yeah, he told me to hang on to Dzul and I promised myself to love him more than I ever did. Mad made me realise this. And I think he didn't even notice he did :)

Later on Dzul called and I told him I was with Mad online. Then guilt strucked him for leaving me cheered up by other guys. But I convinced Dzul that it wasn't his fault, it was mine. He was sick and I should've been most understanding. It's Maulidurrasul anyways. I should be more sensitive about the way he sees things, especially when it involves religion. So we made up and comforted each other. So I guess all ends well. The major parts, at least. 

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone :)

Chinese New Year Holidays are back :)

Two weeks at home! Final exams are over and now back home to assist Mummy in taking care of Tok and fulfilling daily chores. She was quite tensed when I got back then things started to roll by itself. She's one helluva strong woman :')

The first week was stay-at-home week. Even Dzul was in Malacca so I had no intention to go out. Especially when my cousins come by our house almost always to visit Tok, who just got discharged from the hospital and now doing physiotherapy exercises by herself. That's another strong woman I see. Having cousins around most of the days, we created our own craze phase. View these, need I say more? :)

So yeah, a day can hype up like that. Then came along Monday when I know Mayo is on leave, I asked her out. We met in Sushi King KLCC and I brought Kakngah along after she finished her IELTS prep class in British Council. Arep came by too. He even treated us all Starbucks. Oh and Mayo gave me a pretty girlish notebook diary from Kinokuniya and a pack of assorted macaroons from Harrod's. Before that, my day started off early and Mayo had a thing to settle so I met up with Mad at Mid Valley first. We just catch up with what hasn't and he introduced me to Mas, his current interest. He has my approval :)

One Nine :)

Happy birthday to me! :D Am currently staying a night over at the hospital accompanying Tok on her first night before her knee surgery tomorrow morning. Yeah, a night practically spent alone since I'm staying up while Tok sleeps and it's my birthday. Somehow I don't feel morose at all, in fact, gleeful than I'd expected :)


Tok got warded in Tawakal Hospital earlier today and going through surgery tomorrow morn. So the attention spot was on her therefore I have no intention to draw the heed on myself. Last night's dinner was at Secret Recipe with Mummy and my sisters. They even bought a slice of classic cheesecake for me to enjoy this very moment. Gay enough to me :)

I'm so touched at the fact that Dzul RD tried so hard to be the first to wish me a happy birthday. That had put me right on happy knowing I have someone who really cares about me and knows how much it means to me. I never get that kind of privilege with other guys, whom do not deserve to be mentioned, and now I have. I am the luckiest person on earth to be his girlfriend. I love you so much, Dzul. Thank you for making me feel loved :)


*phew* Replying to 200+ wallposts on facebook wishing me happy birthday also ain't something I'd grouch about doing tonight. It's actually nice to know that people would take the time to leave you a wish on your Wall, even for a fact they just knew my birthday from a facebook notification :p


All in all, I can't wait to get back to Malacca and celebrate with my friends. However I do have to concentrate on my finals exams first. Got Critical Thinking and Malaysian Legal History done with last Saturday. Next papers are on the 20th - General Principles of Law II and Intro to Law. Wish me bunches of luck!

Happy New Year!

Whoa how time has flown ! It's 2011 already and I'mma turn 19 soon. :D


Back home in KL. Picturing myself having the permission to celebrate new year's at the Curve with Mayo but instead stuck at home watching Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone with my siblings while my parents went out for some grand dinner. Good thing I had Wan Effazleen sleeping over my place. So we gossiped and swap stories. Then we fell asleep. On a new year's night -.-


The next day my relatives were coming over so we could only go out for 5 seconds - well, it felt like 5 secs - to Mayo's just to say hi and make up for not going out the night before. We chit-chatted and drank Barbican. Exchange updates and gossips of fellow batchmates. Then went home. Wan had to leave early cause her mum told her to. So I went back to Malacca on Monday.


So anyways, I have a list of 2011 resolutions :)


1) Better in ibadah, studies, relationship.
2) Lose weight :p
3) Jaga RD baik baik :)
4) Thrifty in spending!
5) Manage time well.
... and many other small missions.


Hopefully I get to fulfill them, insya Allah. May everyone have a great year ahead :D

Merry Christmas :D

This post is dedicated to friends who celebrate Christmas!

Especially Debra Allison, Daniel Russell and Previn Pragash.

My closest Christian friends.

Merry Christmas, my darlings;

 and a Happy New Year! xx

My baby brother :')

Lutfil Hadi bin Rusli. My ten-year-old baby brother all chopped grown up now :')


Yesterday he just got sunat-ed at Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital. He called me last night, telling me every single detail on the phone. 


"Okaylahh, tapi susah nak gerak. Lutfil duduk atas katil je. Tak mandi, cuma mummy cucikan badan Lutfil."


"Time paling sakit time dia cucuk bius dekat ehem ehem Lutfil. Lutfil jerit,'OH MY GOD',nurse semua gelak."


"Masa dah potong, Lutfil baring atas katil yg panas. Pastu boleh makan and minum macam biasa."


"Kaklong bila nak balik jadi kuli Lutfil? Hehehehehe." -.-


All in all, I am very proud of my little brother. He didn't give complications to grown ups who had to look after him. Just his sisters. But what are we more prepared to than be there for our baby brother. So yeah. I've said it.


It was Ayah's 50th birthday too. Yes, a big five zero. Half a century, mind you. As wise and ripe as time has brought you to be. I love you, Ayah! Happy birthday. God bless and long live. May Allah bring more happy returns that you deserve :)

Quality time :)

So I've been spending a lotta time at home cause Ayah's leaving to live abroad soon so I take every opportunity to be in KL. Like this week, I had been home and do things I do. At home. And to say the least, I think it took me more than enough to be with my family. Definitely worth the trip from Malacca. I have been missing a lot of time with my family at home since I had always been studying away from them.


It's Mayo's birthday, Happy Eighteenth, love :)
Her mum invited me on a surprise high-tea occasion for her but I couldn't make it. I felt horribly guilty since I've just made up with her a few weeks back. My parents could care less to send me and pick me up whenever I'd be or wanted to go. But instead I made it for her birthday dinner at Alexis, Great Eastern Mall with a bunch friends. Her CBN friends and Puja. Nyssa Rafik was there. And they acknowledged a few mutual friends they know studying in MMU. So it was less awkward then I thought it would be.


So Amirah Mohd Nor, enjoy being legal! An age that is old enough for you to differentiate the bad from the good, but young enough for you to do them anyways! :P I love you!

Raya Haji, Electric Principles & Equations :D

So I went back home for eid adha. Dzul RD stayed back in Malacca cause he has important papers this Friday and Saturday. As usual, my family gathered at our place to celebrate.


Even better, the surau in front of our house had penyembelihan ritual services. Ayah, mummy and Maksyak Izzah had their shares of the korban. So we went up to watch the whole process. I even helped with simple tasks like melapah, menimbang and transferring them back home. Alhamdulillah everything went well. Mummy even cooked up super delicious dishes to go with white rice. It's good to be home :)


RD's paper coming up is the Principles of Electric & Electronics and Differential Equation. I hope your sacrifice of staying in Malacca and celebrating eid adha without your family pays off, sayang :) All the best!

Good luck, sayang!

My sayang has two papers to sit for tomorrow morning and afternoon. His finals are here and he has been working his ass off to try fit what he can to contribute passing, since his carry marks weren't at max.


In the early morn is Manufacturing subject and Hubungan Etnik in the afternoon. These subjects sound so engineering. *rawr*


Nevertheless, good luck bie. I know you can do it. Baca doa banyak2 and tidur awal tonight. I love you. :)

MUET!

So yeah I ended up taking MUET instead of TESL or IELTS. But hey, who cares I'd do okay in any of 'em I'm sure.

The written tests and listening test are today and speaking test will be held a bit later. I did nothing much with the preparation but I had nothing to prep with anyways. So I read and practiced through my unused IELTS references. 

The test went okay. But I think I could have done much much better since I ran outta time and had lame flat ideas. *grunts* don't know if I had really nailed it. 'Twas about arranged marriages! The only prospect I could think of arranged couples were my parents and grandparents. How the thing works and ends up with, the reasons behind it and outcomes of it.

Then I know it somehow leads to a comparison with the application of that idea in today's generation. My generation. OUR generation. Inevitably, is a malfunction practice. Rather cliche but it's the truth. I find difficult to propose to it. I can never condone to my parents matching myself up with some random guy they think is well educated, highly paid, good looking and has a great genetic background. These are traits women are finding in their match anyways, but only themselves may assess such chemistry, not third parties.

How can I not think of all these points during exam? *sigh* get over this, Mell.

Dzul RD's final exams has started. I hope he does well today with Arabic Language subject. He said he did. Hopefully so, insya Allah. This week I try my best to calm my nerves to give him peace and serenity to study well. May God help me with that :)

Muhibbah Dinner.

After months awaiting, Muhibbah Dinner is finally here! 


I was the assistant head of sponsorship department, alongside Nik Nasrun as my boss. Debra was Kak Nyssa's assistant on event managing. To me, the event was successful and prestigious enough from all events I've been to. After all it took place at the Dewan Seri Negeri, Ayer Keroh. One helluva grand hall! I took duty of an usher of one of the VVIPs, working together with Nazz, Kak Meck and another pretty Indian girl. My date on that night was Qayyum, Debra's Sabahan friend who's studying law in UM currently. He's a nice chap :)


I wore my raya outfit mummy bought and Petrene helped me with my make-up. The entire time was tiring but just as planned. We came back satisfied and relieved, headed to McD's and went home to rest. And all ends well :)


For a better description and illustration of that night, here are picturessss ;)

Dza, Amar, Shafiq Daneal and Debra ♥

Nazz and I. Hot ushers! :p

Rehearsing.

Not quite good photo. Me ushering VVIPs.

Haha the after party! Qayyum, Abg Aizad and I. :)

Unfortunately, me memories recorded on Muhibbah Dinner was scarred with a big-almost-broke-up fight with RD. It was between him, Qayyum and I. Somehow towards the end even Debra, Abg Bob and Abg Mamat got involved. I'm very lucky and fortunate to have a patient and understanding boyfriend. I could've lost him but he gave me another chance. A lesson I learnt well and will never forget. I shall use this chance accordingly and justly. I love you. I will always do, Dzul.

Training of Facilitators I :D

TOF is one of the awaited Faciteam activities every year and this is my first :) It is a program which trains fresh students how to facilitate and handle participants of a program that has an objective and motive of every each. So it took place in Lambaian Danau, Jasin. We went by bus, three-day camp and paid only RM15! So I won't complain :)


We had theory lessons on being facilitators, basic stuff. We have skill-polishing activities like communications, modules and role-play, rafting, public speaking and light exercises. Packed tentative, tiring yet productive to me. My trainers were Kak Fateen and Abang Budin. I'll let the pictures say the rest ;)

The winning team in rafting *cheers* :D

She's almost done with her first junior year in high school. Kids grow so fast these days. Even Lutfil's all man-ed up and mature. For a ten-year-old, that is. Anyways.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ARIN!
