Of Books and Comics

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Assalamualaikum peeps.

So, I'm back. I did not write for quite some times. I've been busy for the first time in my university life. OMG. Anyway, do you guys happened to read comics or books? I still remember those time when I was so crazy over Enid Blyton's and GempakStarz comics.

Lemme list some for you awesome people in case you guys can't remember.

1. Le Gardenie and any other GempakStarz Comics

 This one practically drove people crazy for the plot and the art so pretty Masya Allah OMG OMG. My cousins were so addicted with them. We met every Raya so I made sure I reminded them to bring GempakStarz comics for me.

2. Enid Blyton's 

I read the Malay translated type. I was so silly I never know that they were translated back then. heheh. I was so in love with all the books. I used up all duit raya to buy new titles. My birthday presents were also Blyton's books. 

3. Majalah Kreko

This one is so fun. Many comics/manga to read. The only one I remember is Yakitate Japan. I bought my first copy of Kreko unintentionally. I was so bored and there's nothing new to read. So I went to a nearby shop and bought Kreko. I ended up liking it but only for short period. 

4. Doraemon!!!

I remember how I used to save up RM 4.50 for a doraemon comics. They were so fun with so much lessons. Doraemon also has the special series which only has one story for a comic. Usually they travel to another world or planet. Such imagination, much wow!

5. Detective Conan

I was so crazy with Conan. When I was in Form 1, I start buying the one with colours. My first coloured edition was about a fire murder. Conan saved her fierce girlfriend, Ran who baked him burnt orange pie. Ohhh, I love Conan.

There are so much more. It's weird that there's so few of good books and comics around. I was raised by a mother who reads as well. My first grown up novel was Norhayati Berahim, Hati Seorang Wanita. Then I start to adore Ramlee Awang Murshid, Aisya Sofea, Anis Ayuni and Hlovate. It's sad how today's novels are all about kahwin paksa, lelaki kaya vs perempuan miskin or vice versa, kahwin kontrak and so what not.

It's not that the stories are bad but I think there's not much choices for readers. It's fun to read few of the same theme at first but then, it would be better if there is something different. I was not a fan for English novels but I have to turn to them for something different which I couldn't find in nowadays Malay novels.

Anyway, I am very grateful and extremely glad that my childhood was filled with these awesome books and comics. I think I will brag about them to my nieces, nephews and maybe my own children if I am to have some hahah.

Till then, bye.

Be good, do good.

End.

Life Update

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Assalamualaikum peeps.

I know, I know. I t has been so long since I last wrote anything. I am now in my 9th week of my fifth semester. Oh God, life could not be any busier. I have many assignments to be submitted, mock teaching to be practiced and perfected and small small problems to be hmmm no not to be handled, they are to be overlooked since they are small.

About a fortnight ago, my fellow scholars-mate and I encountered problem again with the facilitators in our hostel. Someone (God knows who is the person) pasted a paper with our scholarship logo in the main door to our dormitory. So yeah, the facilitators and warden got angry and accused us of pasting the paper. They thought we were trying to draw line of status among the other students. Hell no. We didn't do it.

I mean, who on earth want to boast about their scholarship status by pasting a thin A4 paper on a grey plain looking door? Oh Lord. If we were to boast about our scholarship, we should have order an exclusive sign with some glitters and shiny looking materials. Now that's boasting. Anyway, I am just confused by the faci's action. They have the power to conduct a spot-check. Why they just did not rip the paper off the door? That's not hard to be done.

But that's not my problem. I don't think that I have any problem with the facilitators or the wardens. I live my life and I don't bother theirs. So whatever they did with their lives is not my concern. Let just remember that people who hate will always hate you. Throw them some jewels, they told others you threw them stones. 

Moving on to my study. Oh man man man man. Did I regret my decision to take TESOL as my major. Well, no. Am I surprised? Yes. Very much. Not once it has occurred to me that teaching English is hard. Now I know. It is a pain in the ass. All the skills, techniques, do and don'ts. I am so so so surprised. So many things to be practiced in order to become a good teacher. Phewwww.

Now that I am doing teaching course, I regret that I play too much in my form 5 years. If not, I might have rolled into some science courses. Anyway, fate brings me here and I am gonna move forward. Life's good, Allah's good. I couldn't ask for more. 

I have so many things to talk about. Those paranormal incidents in my dormitory, my love life, my recent luck winning a Fossil purse, my current addiction and so so many more. I just need extra time and extra fast internet. 

Till then, bye.

Be good, do good.

May you be blessed. :)

Fifth Semester

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Assalamualaikum peeps!

So my fifth semester has begun somewhere around last two weeks. Sadly, my friends and I have so many issues to deal with. Let's start by listing them.

1. We had a schedule. A crazy schedule. Three classes were clashing very badly. So we dropped and added subjects. Pheww. Clashing classes issue settled.
2. We have only one class for Wednesday and it is at the very end of the day. The class is on 4.30pm to 6.00pm. Of course the lecturer is not nuts enough to finish at 6 so for now we always settled around 5.30. So yeah, I went to class for 1 hour or so. -_-"
3. Last Thursday we went to a technology related class only to be chased out by the lecturer. Not that she dislikes us or what but the subject is way too advance for us. We haven't taken the foundation subject for TESOL yet so most likely we won't be able to cope in the class. (why can't they tell us what to do first??? Why offer subject that is too advance for us???)
4. Another trip to the office and we dropped and added subject again. And today, the new schedule is updated. WE SUDDENLY GOT CLASS ON FRIDAY. Oh Lord have mercy on us.

Two of my friends are doing part time job so they are very saddened with the updated schedule. They should be working on Friday and now everything is messed up. Whatever happens I am gonna persuade the lecturer to re-schedule the class on Friday. 

It's on Friday and it's 11.30-12.30. One hour class, guys. Who on earth want to gooooooo.

Love

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ

I never thought that I could love someone outside my family more than I love books or reading. But I did. I fell in love back in 2013 and it has bloomed ever since. 

I never thought that I LOVE YOU could be such an understatement for a feeling between two person. But it did. I said I LOVE YOU but it doesn't even close to what I am feeling for him.

I never thought that I would write cheesy things like this. But I did. Love, what a silly feeling it is.

Hello, Wedding Invitation!

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Assalamualaikum peeps!

Soooooo, I am turning 21 this year! Oh, how time flies. I have recently done with my fourth semester. Next sem I'll be taking the subject for my major! I am so hyped for it. Wooohooo. However, I am still torn apart between choosing TESOL or journalism for my major. *sweating

That's about my study. I am 21 years old and my friends are getting married! Ya Allah I am seriously so happy and very berry excited. My friend from school is currently busy preparing for her wedding which is on this upcoming 8th February. I am so thrilled I can't stop smiling after getting the invitation. She is someone I know since 13 years old and now SHE IS GETTING MARRIED. This is so surreal.

My roommate on the other hand is someone I met back in 2013. So, she has met her soulmate and they are planning for their solemnization as well. Awhhh, everyone is venturing into the new phase of life and here I am pondering about which new game I should download. I am really thrilled and nervous for my friends. Everyone is big now eh? Getting married is the new talk now.

Anyway, getting married is something good but from my point of view, not everyone needs it or wants it. I am wishing all the best for my friends and can't wait to see my timeline getting flooded with pictures of their babies.  

That's all I have to ramble for now. I feel obligated to update the blog as I want to write more this year! Hoooyeah. 

Thanks for reading.

Be good, do good.

May Allah bless!
