Alhamdulillah I'm back in Malaysia. My apologies for not updating my
blog. Have been pretttty busy with stuff. Like food. Ahahaha. And of
course I've had my haircut. So watch out for a photo or two hahaha!!

Hmm everything back home is good alhamdulillah. The flight home was
smooth. Not to say the flight itself. The plane did suffer turbulence
alot of
times. Especially through the Bay of Bengal.

So I've had my grandparents and cousin come over on the first and
second day home. They've come and spent time with me. Looking forward
to the others! =D

Will post more photos soon. The Internet is really darn slow at home.
Arghh!!!

The night before flight

Alhamdulillah, packing is all done. Everything is in order. I've also checked in a few hours ago online. Good to have that service, so I just drop my bags, get the tickets and off i go into the plane. Am having a friend at home today. Thought I could just spend my last few hours not ALONE. Anyway really am looking forward to go back. Not looking forward towards the Quarantine thought. But I'll have to do my part to keep everybody else safe from it. InsyaAllah it'll be ok.

Second year has been amazing. It went past so fast, I couldn't remember what i've been doing! There's just so much to tell and say, so i'll let my past posts tell the story.

=)

cant wait till tomorrow!!

Removal day!

Hey!

Today was really tiring. So I'm gonna keep this short. I had to remove
all my things to the storage centre. And of course packing was
completed a day before. It took not more than an hour and a half to
get eerythibg from home to storage room.

Alhamdulillah it was fine. My things Gould be safe and sound. Won't be
seeing them for another three months. I'm still amazed at the amount
of things that I have. Argh!!!

One more day to my flight home. Really am excited. Been 10 months
since I saw my family. Really miss them. =) well, till next post. Will
write more before I leave on Sunday night. Was thinking of writing
about my second year experience. Not a fan of details but will try. As
meticulous as I am, I'll try not to hurt ;)

Salaam!

Digital Camera Magazine : August 2009

Alhamdulillah!

I was chosen as the 'Hot Shot of the Month : August' for the Digital Camera Magazine UK. It was really shocking to be honest. It would've been great to have my photo at a corner of the page, but i get a whole page! Yay! Thanks to DCM:UK for the honour. Greatly appreciate it.

Thanks to Amar and Sneha. To Amar for inviting me for the photoshoot and Sneha for being our model on that day. It was an amazing day (this was taken last Autumn in 2008). We had Razia as our make up artist, me and amar were the photographers, Sneha+Nidhi+Veronika as our beautiful models. It was fantastic. Brilliant experience. I want to do it again please? hehehe.


Regarding my packing, it's going quite well. Alhamdulillah, on time as expected. But I'm really annoyed at myself. For having SO many things! I've got 14 odd boxes and 2 bags! Plus a few funny things. Baldi, bucket and oh the agony. I hope the van i ordered tomorrow would have enough space. InsyaAllah if everything goes well I should be done by 5pm. The removals are due to come at around 3pm.

My room is in a mess right now. A clean mess I'd call it. I've just got the beddings left to pack and suck in the SUCKING bag hahahah! I just love that thing. I've also packed my bag for my sunday flight. There's nothing much to bring back to be honest. Mostly souveniers, shirts and a few pants. Emirates even sent an email asking if i'd like to upgrade to Business Class. Arghhh. I'm still thinking whether if I want to or no. But i'll decide later. Not important. (cause i have to top up 250 quid) Not much for business class to be honest. But the flight on BIZ is only till Dubai. Dubai to KL onwards? Economy as usual. Should be alright.

Anyway Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett died a few hours ago. Cardiac arrest and cancer respectively. I heard Michael Jackson is a Muslim, so INALILLAH.

Will write more soon. Am just too knackered.

Salaam!

p.s: photos taken frome the iPhone 3G

3 days left!!!

Wow. Can't believe how time flies. Only a few days left till
My flight home. Can't wait. Apparently I've got to self quarantine
when I'm home. Darn it. I wonder if my family has to?

This whole pandemic, just shows how men scatter in fear and unsure of
what to do in front of God's agenda. Everything happens for a reason.
Perhaps we've forgotten about our lord.

I pray that Allah would lighten our burdens and make easy the tough
for all of us. Everyone is being tried and insyaAllah everything will
go well.

Anyway I unlocked my iPhone. Hahaha. I think now I can use it in
malaysia. =)

5 days left!

me and kak fida =P

Just a few days left.

I've started packing the clothes into the bags. No, not the clothes I want to bring home, these are the ones i want to leave behind. Not taking much stuff with me this time around. They say 'learn from past experience' hahaha. I got back home in Birmingham at about 8:30pm. Took the 6:42 train to Banbury and changed for the train to Moor Street (thanks Lubi for the head's up!!)

The two are a gem. I've learned so much by spending a few days with them. (refer to earlier posts). I'm certainly going to miss them during the length of summer. My flight home will be, insyaAllah on Sunday the 28th of June. Expected to arrive in Kuala Lumpur on the 29th if everything goes smoothly insyaAllah. I've got flu right now. I hope it's not the whole pandemic flu. It's really worrying me. If it gets worse, I'll go to the GP's. Perhaps in Malaysia or here. Naudzubillah. I pray it's not the swine flu. Mintak jauh.

Anyway, a lot has been on my mind lately. Home, family, friends, work, placement, career, future and loads more. To be honest with you, I don't know what to expect in these few months. I can only pray and hope for the best. InsyaAllah, I'll pull through. Got a little bit more of packing and cleaning to do tomorrow. We've got to clean the house up before the inventory check in July. So we can get our deposit of the house back.

Other than that, I've got a few things on my shopping list. Need to get stuff for the family before going back. Will see what I can find.

Till next post ;)

Sunday BBQ @ Bicester

Heyy!

So I decided to stay for another night in bicester. The last time I
get to spend with them till I get back in Autumn. Been a great time
here. Enjoyed their company and loads of advice.

The couple are just an inspiration for me. I know we usually take
great people as inspiration but I beg to differ. There are exceptions ;)

I've learned so much about working towards what you want. Goals. Yeah
yeah cheesy. But it's the truth and it works. Papa also encouraged
this. Brilliant. Now? I just need to keep doing what I do best and get
better at it ever single time.

When it comes to an edge of failure, muster all the confidence and
ride on!!

InsyaAllah I'll succeed in whatever it is I'm aiming at. :)

Thanks Lubi and Kak Fida for the great advice, trust and everything
that you've shared. Really appreciate it. =)

Congratulations Osman!!

Got news of my cousin Osman who's studying Mechanical Engineering in
Indonesia recently achieved the title of Ir. Alhamdulillah praise be
to Allah. A huge step for our family in Jakarta. He's done all of us
proud. Congrats again Ir. Osman!!

Street Fighter 4 on PS3

Brilliant game. Just like its predecessors. But the thing is, it's just the 'same' thing. Same moves. Same story. But if you altered it, I'm sure many wouldn't be too happy would they? Been playing it to beat the arcade! It's so difficult. Been bashed by Seth at the end. Darn it.

Give the game a go. :) Just thought I should share this with everyone!

Anyway. I'll be going to Bicester Village tomorrow. Ahhhh. A little shopping for the family and me tomorrow. InsyaAllah. Might head back to Birmingham on Monday instead. No point rushing. I have nothing else to do ANYWAY! hahaha. Anyway, i'm kinda tired. Had a long day. Gonna get some sleep now.

Goodnight!

Transformers 2 : Revenge of the Fallen

Watched the movie at the iMax theatre. It was brilliant! When I say brilliant, the fine details were brilliant. Story line? Well, so and so. But still, the whole effect was brilliant. Really great technical work. Am not gonna say much cause there are still people who've not watched it. So, do have a go at the movie. Really a must watch of the year!

My personal rating?

8/10

Effects were wonderful. Story? Got a little lame at the lovey dovey scene. Just a little 'dull' :P

Weekend before home

Hi all! I'm currently in Bicester with my 'overseas' family, the Katukulas. :) Kak Fida and Abang Lubi as usual welcomed me to their warm home. Like always :) This time, we have kak fida's brother , Wan with them. Amazing people. I enjoy their company and I am thankful.

Anyway, today's journey was not too bad. The train ride from Birmingham to Bicester North station took an hour and a half. Filled with chats and catching up between me and Lubi. Shortly after we arrived, Kak fida picked us up. And well on our way to their house.

She cooked chicken porridge and 'pengat pisang', a Malaysian desert. Oh man. You can dream of making it alone. It's actually quite easy though. haha. Anyway we just finished playing the PS3. Man, i've got to get me one of those. Argh! The thing is, it might prove as a point of distraction when I have work. Even with the laptop, I've been distracted so so much. Anyway, we've bought tickets for the Transformers 2 : Revenge of the Fallen at the iMax theatre at the Millenium Point in Birmingham. Should be fun. :)

Was thinking of hitting the Bicester Village for a little shopping for home (and me..). I've not pampered myself. Arghh!! I need some pampering hahaha. I think(personally), I've done quite well for second year. Alhamdulillah. So I want to celebrate that. Will see what interests me. Hahaha.

I'll post photos from tomorrow's iMax experience insyaAllah. I've not got my camera with me, but the iPhone's camera should do well enough.

Salam!

2nd Year? Case Closed!!

Second year flew just like that. Started off pretty slow. Then moved on to learning new things and becoming familiar with the group of people. We've grown and learned from each other. And of course, not forgetting our mentor Clive for teaching us everything we know. brilliant man!

Got my results today. So that officially ends my second year in Uni. Wow two years gone just like that. Where have I been? (loads of places actually) but really. Theoretically, I must've been lost in my own mind. I've learned alot. That's all i need to say. Alhamdulillah. Results were great! Didn't really expect it to be like that, but really was good enough for me. Though my dad wasn't too happy with me receiving First Class.

So yeah, First Class starts at 75%. It's not like school. Where you fight and work hard to gain 90, 95 or even 100% of the assessments/exams. The thing is, I don't HAVE exams. So live with it. I've got presentations, pitches, briefs, projects and loads more on me that I need to settle. For second year, it's been a straight First Class. 5 modules. 5 First Class. Alhamdulillah. What more can i ask?

I've got a placement. In Ogilvy&Mather Malaysia. Fantastic place. What more CAN i ask for?

But the fact that I've pushed myself (and of course, Papa for pushing me further...) makes me think. Was it all worth it?

It bloody hell was.

Abit mental in the head really cause dad's not too happy with the 75%. But the usual, he's a perfectionist and it helps. Not putting my guard down too early. Thanks pa. And of course mama for laughing right beside him. Thinking how funny this is. hahaha. Cause he has no one else to push. Arghhh! but i like the push. I like it. At least I know, he cares :)

So yeap, another victory. The battle over. But the war has just started. Next year, will be my third year or Level 6(not sure why they call them that). They've already left a HUGE shoe for us to fill in. I've got to work harder, smarter and ..... well harder. Hahaha.

Ya Allah, I pray you'll strengthen my heart, mind and soul. Ease my burdens and open the doors of Rezeki. The solution to all problems come from you.

Not sure which surah this is from but:
" If Allah helps you, then no human can overtake you"

Amin.

A little trip

Made a little trip to Coventry yesterday. Was out of the blue really. Bored sitting in the room doing absolutely nothing. And results were supposed to come out the next day. Anxious, Excited and Worried all at the same time. Can't help it then can i :P

I took the 'long way round' train to Coventry. So the usual 20 mins ride turned out to be 40 mins! Double? But it was a lovely extra 20mins. It wa quiet (not the train of course) but the whole scenery was just splendid. I didn't even realise what I've been missing out all this while. Greens. Colours. Subhanallah. :)

Anyway I'm already yawning. Expecting to update my iPhone to the 3.0 software tonight. But no news of the update yet. Unsure how it works too. But anyway till next post!

Summer Graduate Show 2009

It was fun, fantastic and I really enjoyed it. Works that were showcased really sparked my mind and made me want to start working again now. hahaha. Really want to keep this short. I'm really tired and I really need to lie down. My back hurts and my arms too :(

Photographed the whole event. Volunteered to do so and hoping they'll like my photos! Trevor Beattie, the ad-man graced the event with his 'last minute' attendance. He's a great guy. Simple and brilliant. For those who don't know him, he's one of the founders of BMB. Beattie McGuinness Bungay. One of the leading design agencies in the UK and the world. He used to study here in BIAD. Amazing man.

Anyway the awards were named after him. The Trevor Awards. The night took off pretty slow. It then went past me when i least expected.

In short; amazing work, happy people (though the place was really warm) and great company.

Will post a few photos on flickr soon (if im allowed to hehe).

Over the years

photo courtesy of DaoWen.

Over the years (2 to be exact) I've made new friends and companions. Not forgetting the old of course ;)

There's a quote i remembered from Mrs.Naidu's class. haha weird but here it goes!

" Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver and the other is gold. "

- Dean GOLD

I remember this and cherish it really well. Today me and my mates went and helped out Sam, our lecturer/tutor with his stuff. He's moving back to Malaysia, so he needs all his stuff be put into a whole container. I didn't help out much though hahaha. But yea it was fun. Went out to town and we were treated to Wokmania. A pretty nice place but can't say the same bout the food though haha. Sorry sam :P

Sam's been my lecturer for the past two years. He just got his phD. It's been a pleasure and a great experience learning from someone so young at heart (and face oso lah :P) and with so much experience. Its been an amazing time learning from him. Thanks Sam!

Summer Placement. =)

Alhamdulillah, praise be to Allah. How's everyone doing?

This morning, I received great news. I was offered a place as an intern in one of the top advertising agencies in the world. I'll be doing my placement (insyaAllah) at Ogilvy's this coming summer in Malaysia. Not in London unfortunately. But this is already something spectacular! I can't wait to get started to be honest. I've been reading loads of articles regarding their work and how they do them. Sometimes, I just need to cover a little bit before showing up. More presentable. Don't you think so? hehe.

Anyway, I know i've been talking about the past few weeks and how hectic it was. But it was a tough time. And I really relied on Allah and prayed when I could and ask for help/guidance. A photo I took a few years ago, titled 'Faith in Fate' which shows my Ustaz or religious teacher posing in one of the most significant prayer poses in the Islam world. Well, at that point i was trying to play with light and all that. So there you go. Hehe. Didn't get an A though. Unfortunate, but learned alot.

What I wanted to share with you is that, throughout tough journeys. The first thing i did after i saw the email was, I raised my two hands and said 'THANK YOU ALLAH".

God has always been there. Yes 'cheesy' as some people might call it. But when there's no one else there to help, advice or talk to you. I can feel him close by. When I'm in such a hectic state, I try to read the Quran or even do extra prayers just to calm myself down. And it works. To be honest with you ;)

It's one of those things that are just unexplainably explainable. hahaha im talking in riddles again. Been a bad habit. But if you look into it closely, people only remember their creator when only they are in need of dire help or in pain. I look at people (friends and family usually) and think, why they only seek His help when they need help. Even i do that all the time. But why? Why can't we always remind ourselves of His greatness? So my mum had a good answer. Always remind yourself by doing dzikir. Dzikir is a form of remembering Allah and it does remind you that you are only human. Sometimes, you've just got to admit. You are just human. Pushing yourself too hard won't do you any good.

Well that's what i think. I'm sure there are other pious people out there that would best at this matter. I am but a student and am still learning. Learning just never ends. :)

In the states!

I think i might call in an early night tonight. I've got NOTHING. Absolutely nothing to do. I'm bored. Argh! Was talking to Nad about an hour ago. Been awhile since we had a chat. She's just packing up and moving out somewhere else. She's in California now. Coming home soon. Cannot wait for our usual reunion. It can get super hillarious at some point. Hahaha!

She's one of those closest to me. Though i've only known her for a few years, she's still someone ;) She's one tough lady im telling you. Dont 'play-play' :P She can bite hahaha! Anyway we were talking about going to waterfalls, parks and etc. Would be fun. Really can't wait to get home!

About time!

I need to go out. My hands are shivering. I need to go on a date with my camera. I'm really sorry to have left you alone for these few weeks. hahaha. Next, the Grad show in Uni on saturday. Cant wait!

Had the longest sleep today. Exactly 12 hours. My goodness. I feel so.. light. hahaha! It's been a busy week. Alhamdulillah it's all done now.

Lots of glam glam glam. :)

A technique for producing ideas

A brilliant book. My current light read. The foreword is by William Bernbach. Fantastic book to be honest. On on chapter three and excited already. :D

Do check it out! It costs about £3 from Amazon UK. Knowledge? Worth more.

Happy reading!

p.s: i've not got anything to do. So will be posting lots of things. hehe. :D

Wordle?

Found this amazing site which allows you to create a cloud-like text. It's typographically interesting. And visually stunning (for me at least :P). Thought of sharing this with everyone. They offer this for free. But please do remember to link them back.

I've given my blog URL, and the above is what they came up with. Pretty neat. I kinda like it. Might try it again hahaha!

Ar-Rad [13:11]

Surah Ar Rad (The Thunder) , Ayat 11:

لَهُ مُعَقِّبَاتٌ مِّن بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ يَحْفَظُونَهُ مِنْ أَمْرِ اللّهِ إِنَّ اللّهَ لاَ يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّى يُغَيِّرُواْ مَا بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ وَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللّهُ بِقَوْمٍ سُوءًا فَلاَ مَرَدَّ لَهُ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن دُونِهِ مِن وَالٍ

"For him are angels ranged before him and behind him, who guard him by
Allah's command. Lo! Allah changeth not the condition of a folk until
they (first) change that which is in their hearts; and if Allah
willeth misfortune for a folk there is none that can repel it, nor
have they a defender beside Him."

Sometimes we've done what we can to get to what we want. What else but
leave it in the hands of our Rabb. For He knows best. :)

All messed up.. was?

Today marks the pause in my University life. Alhamdulillah, i've submitted the GRT DMA Awards campaign today and it should reach London by Friday. It's been a great experience, learning from so many talented people and creative minds. Not forgetting the tutors who are always there and helping me out ever if i need anything. So yeah, it's done. So now, seemingly I won't be heading home early as expected. So i'll have alot of time to spend. Argh.

I really wanted to go home early. But everything happens for a reason. Wallahualam. He knows best. So i'm sure of it. I've been cleaning and packing! So the room is pretty spacious apart from the boxes stacked at the side. hahaha.

Anyway will update more soon-ish.

Now, where's my camera.

Pola Pola

Thanks to Fairuz, i've got something to play with while waiting in agony for my ticket for Malaysia to get through. This piece of genius is called the 'POLADROID'. Apparently it helps to convert images that you have into 'polaroid-like' images. It's quite something. Should give it a try!

I gave it a try on a photo of me and my sister, Syakirah. I just love this picture. Come to think of it, it's when my hair looked best (to me :P). hahaha. Anyway, might just watch a movie or two. I've been lacking of entertainment. Submissions for the GRT Awards competition is on the 12th. I've finished printing and etc. Just need to pass it to John Lowe, our tutor so he could take it away and send it off to London. I'm praying hard to even get a glimpse of what it's like there. KEANE didn't turn up today. Bummer really. But it's alright. They should be here to crit our work soon.

Ahh I've been packing as well! That's something new. hahaha. I'm quite surprised i've got lots of things. Goodness me. How DID I manage before this. Nonetheless, I should be thankful to Allah for giving me what I have and what's to come insyaAllah.

Pray for some good news insyaAllah!

iPhone 3GS

It's here! The new iPhone 3GS.

'S' which supposedly stands for speed. They boast on the speed of the new platform and a few other stuff. They've got video recording, focusing camera and etc. Really quite something. But honestly, for me it's not that appealing. Not too sure why? I think because they're providing the 3.0 update in the middle of June. So the update covers a good 60% of what the new iPhone is? For me that's good enough. Wouldn't be wanting to think too much of getting the new one. Perhaps papa might be interested hahaha. He's been wanting to change his old iPhone. But he rarely uses the internet and etc. So why bother! The design also isn't as different as the others. Just that, the price of the iPhone 3G went down to £69.00. Ahah! Perhaps i could.... 'could' sell my current one. And get a new one? hahaha!

Check out Apple's home page for more info.

Thoughts on waiting?

WAITING LIST

Oh man. It really tests my patience. Subhanallah. The flight that im trying to get on this monday, is full. From Dubai to KL. So, I've been put on the list. I really want to head home soon. I really do.

I'm praying long and hard. Tapi apa apa pun, ku haruslah tawakal kepada Allah. He knows best. And He is the All-Knowing. So best to have yakin and do what i can.

InsyaAllah :)

done

I AM DONE!

alhamdulillah, all finished on time. Really. Right ON time hahaha. Praise be to Allah, for giving me the strength to keep going. And to all friends and family. :)

That was quick. Second year's gone just like that. And next? Final year. And loads of advertising to do. How... interesting. bring it on i say.

for now, lets just submit the work and get on with life :)

Miss swan @ McRonalds

hahahahah!!! this is so hillarious!!!! saw this on my tutor's facebook page. hahaha.. HILLARIOUS! :D


BURGERRRRRR!!!!!!! nine one six one. hahha!

Tawakkal

' Bismillahi Tawakkal tu Illallah. '

'In the name of Allah, I have placed my trust in Allah, there is no might and no power except by Allah'

I will always remind myself to quote these and do it as a daily supplication to remind me, that there's no greater power than of Allah. And to always have YAKIN, or TRUST in Allah's judegement. For He is All-knowing and the Beneficient.

What I'm trying to say here is, we always plan things ahead of us. Yes, it's a good thing that you do. For he who plans is beneficial. But to always remember, that anything can happen, and that if only Allah would allow for it to go smoothly.

INSYAALLAH

Or in plain English, If Allah Wills. Reminding ourselves that we can only plan what is ahead. But the one who has control over all this is the Rabb. He is All-Knowing. Sometimes, I find myself stuck in a position where I'll scream and shout in my head, asking God 'WHY?' and 'WHAT?' else is there I can do to make things happen! Prayer after prayer. Dua' after Dua'. Dzikir after dzikir, when you least expect it. He comes at the right time with the solution to your problems.

We as muslims are always taught to refer to the Holy Book for any answers at all. ANY. Any question, refer to it. Be it factual or even fiction. It's all there. That's what they claim! And what they claim, is true. I've always asked many questions in my mind, and these i rather not share for they are for me and Allah alone. And Alhamdulillah, none have NOT been answered. It's just simply the case of opening the Quran and reading it. Of course, i am arabic illiterate, as such, the English translation would do. I look for answers and what Allah needs to say about it. And I always find something that answers my questions.

Alhamdulillah, praise be to Allah. It doesn't take a long time to take the Quran, open and read the translations. I'm sure, even if you were a busy billionaire like the Sheikhs of the Al-Maktoum family, you would do well to take some time and read it. 5 minutes? 10 minutes? good enough! But all is up to you. The answers are all there in front of you. You just need to read. And insyaAllah you'll find it.

When I was a kid, there always was a joke about us not understanding Arabic. So the usual teachers would say, LEARN! But my Ustaz, the one I learnt from so much (without realising) told me of how Allah is the Most Beneficient and Merciful. Ustaz said, even if we read the Quran, without knowing the meaning. We still get the pahala or reward from Him. See? So no reason for you NOT to pick it up!

Hahaha I just wanted to share this to others. Seemingly now is the time of exams, tests and submissions. I'm sure we have our 'boiling point' moments now and again. So remember, If ever you feel like you're gonna burst. Remember, things happen for a reason. We don't control what is going to happen. But what we can do is plan it's course. And trust Allah.

Salam :)

Seatbelts please.

It won't be a joy ride. I promise you. It's been hectic. I so need a
proper getaway right now. But a few more miles to go.

Alhamdulillah the major issue holding me back has been settled
insyaAllah. The GRT brief is done. I wouldve love to take it further
but there's no time. Still have the emirates brief. By Saturday I
should be able to sleep well insyaallah.

It's already the end of the week. Alhamdulillah. Just three weeks
left. And I'll be flying home. Can't wait. Final submission Monday the
8th.

Bring it on!!

Fast approaching

Whammm. It's the end of the week. Well coming to it. Wow!

I really am surprised at how time flies. I'm still working on my two
briefs and lots more. So insyaAllah I should be ok. I news to pull it
together. Come on now.

Selawat Nabi

Subhanallah. This is beautiful. :)

Almost there!!

Still working on ideas for the GRT!! There's 4 days left!!! I need to
come up with a solution for the brief asap. I've got ideas running
already alhamdulillah. But I don't think they are strong enough.

Ya Allah. I am scared. And I ask for help but only from you.

June's Here

me and the ladies

Alhamdulillah, I'd first like to express how grateful I am. It's been so quick, and now im at the end of my second year in the UK. Syukur Alhamdulillah, praise be to Allah :)

June's here. Barely four weeks and i'll be heading home. Lots of things I want to do, see and eat! A few of my friends already went back yesterday. I'm sure they're having a great time right now. Anyway, i've got a lot of work to do. Still behind schedule. Due to me waking up SO late in the morning. I think cause i've been staying up late. To wait for Subuh prayers and not want to miss it. Anywho, insyaAllah, tomorrow much will have been achieved. Cause today, I only managed to do 60% of what I initially wanted to. Bummer really.

Spoke to Mama and Ira just a few minutes ago. Been awhile since i spoke to my sister. So, we had quite a chat. She's taking up horse riding now. Hahaha she asked me to join when I get back. It's so hillarious. hahaha. She's being taught by one of the best riders in the world, Dato' Awang. Not sure he's how famous he is, but Papa said he's good. If i'm not mistaken, he even trained the current King of Malaysia, Yang-DiPertuan Agong Sultan Mizan.

Alhamdulillah all's going well. Except for my progress towards my final submission for next monday. Come on hilmi! COME ON!!

salam!
