Life in The United States #1

Bismillahirahmanirahim. In the name of Allah The Most Gracious and The Most Merciful.

Alhamdulillah after a year I was in the US, now I am in Jitra Kedah. Balik raya wehhhh. Sebenarnya dah lamaaaaa sangat nak tulis pasal life kat US ni, tapi nak wat acano, org yg suka procastinate bginilah. Sebab takdak rasa urgency perlu tulis, thats why dok postpone sampai berapa bulan dah. Jangan tiru la perangai lagu ni, tak baikk. InsyaAllah I am trying to not do work at 11th hour. Sometimes, orang yang perfectionist ni susah sikit. Dia nak yg perfect je, in the end, satu kerja pun tarak jadii. Haiyaaa. Okay, stop bebelan aku untuk muqadimah.

So, soalan paling common sekali bila balik Malaysia " macamana dok US? Best?"
And jawapan paling common aku jawab "alhamdulillah, seronok. Rasa suasana baru" itu mcam dah jadi skema jawapan dah huhu. Sorry tapi itu yang boleh aku kata.

Tapi betulla, memang best. Bila kita duk sesuatu tempat yang asin, i mean yg kita tak pernah pergi, we tend to observe and compare the culture, they way they talk, etc etc with ours. Therefore, kat sini maybe la nak list downkan sikit apa yang aku dapat based on my observation.

(1) 'Doa' ketika bersin
This is one is very very obvious. Duk dalam lecture hall, kataknla orang depan bersin, mesti akan ada at least sorg akan say "Bless you" ataupun panjangnya "May God bless you". Doa tu wehhh. Pernah la aku bersin, da org cakap "bless you!" Even though you dont know him/her, even selisih tepi jalan ja, mesti ada org akan cakap. Kita jawab Thank You je la,sebab dia doakan kita. Lgipun itu manner kan.
Kat sini, boleh la kita dapat rasa cmna org yg tah sapa sapa kita tak kenal ttba mendoakan kita. Awhh sho shweeettt. Tapi tapi tapi kan. Mpa ada terpikir mcm kami pikir tak?
Haaa dalam Islam pernah belajaq dak pasal alhamdulillah? Yarhamka/killah? Yahdikumullah?
Macam pernah dengaq? Haish. Rasanya, personal opinion aku, maybe tu one of the ways utk eratkan
hubungan sesama Muslim.
Kan Muslims tu kan semuanya bersaudara? Ye dok? So bila tah sapa sapa Arab mana say Yarhamka/killah bila kita bersin, depa doakan kita, rasa sweet tak? Tambah pulak kalau Arab tu tampan. Haaa tu kena check balik la ye. Jgn sampai bwak fitnah. Agak agak la nak doakan org pun. Ikhtilat check balik ikhtilat, pergaulan laki dan wanita.

(2) Suka ludah meludah
Ewwww ini satu tabiat mereka yang we should not follow lah. Depa ni sesuka hati sesuka sesuki ja nak meludah merata rata. Thats why kalau mpa perasan la, ada mat salleh mana mana mesti ada gak meludah ludah merata rata tempat. Idok tahu la mengapa, tapi based on my obeservation, itulah, mereka suka meludah.

(3) Budaya terima kasih
Ohmaiii, this one, orang Melayu or specifically Muslims in Malaysia patut malu dengan mereka yang not-yet-Muslims di sana ( instead of non-muslims, why i used not-yet-muslim? Because umat Islam
kurang bekerja, tidak menyebarkan dengan bersungguh sungguh apa itu Islam. Hmm moga Allah
bagi hidayah pada mereka ) ohh sambung sambung. Depa ni sangat sangat well-mannered. Pintu kat kelas ke kat mana mana pintu pun la, kalau boleh depa akan tahan untuk org belakang. Pham tah? Kalau depa buka pintu tu, xdkla depa kuaq terus, tapi depa akan tahan pintu untuk kita. Kadang kadng kita kat belakang dok jalan lambat lambat terpksa berlari lari anak untuk mengelakkan dia tahan pintu untuk masa yg lama. Depa sanggup tahan pintu untuk kita. How sweet they are? Hihi. Haritu ada pernah sekali, aku tahan pintu untuk sorang budak laki umur dalam 7-10 tahun gitu. Ye la,
 bila tiap hari org tahan pintu untuk kita, kita mesti nak kena ikut culture tu jgak en, bcause i think itis a good culture, so i follow je la. Ha, pasal budak tu, lepas dia kuar dari pintu tu, he said THANK YOU to me! Ohmaiii heaven kot wktu tu. i wondered hebat gila mak ayah depa macamana train anak sekecil itu dah pandai nak berterima kasih pada org lain. Entahla tapi sangat respect depa la pasal tu. kalau kat Malaysia, susah sikit la nak dengar org berterima kasih. Bukanla kita mengharapkan
balasan, tapi cm at least appreciate la kan. Sometimes our thanks tu can make people smile after working for the whole day. Ni experience sendiri wktu drive la hihi. Sometimes bila lalu jalan sempit and kita bg jalan kt org lain, and tanpa dijangka org tu agkat tangan kat kita nak menunjukkan dia cakap terima kasih. Waaaaa habisss penat seharian hilang dengan senyuman dan appreciation from someone we donno! Allah send her to make me happy on that day!

For part 1, ni je kot. Lenguh den menaip ni haa. Idea mencurah curah ke ladang gandum nii,, insyaAllah akan disambung. Bila hari dan waktu itu, tidak dapat dijanji. Moga memberi manfaat pada semua. Hidup ni sebenarnya untuk memberi kan? Dan banyak menerima dari rakyat(MARA), kenala memberi pulak. Ya Allah I am so grateful whatI have now. I believe that all things that you gave me is the best. Thank you Allah! Selamat memburu lailatul Qadr!

Cantik

Assalamualaikum,,

Di celah-celah final ni, suka saya nak tulis pasal sesuatu. Cantik. Apa yang cantik? Hampa la yang cantik! :P

Dah dah..

Sebenarnya, semalam dalam pukul 12.30 mlm smlm, naik lif, dari bilik study. Allah takdir satu lif dgn floormate ni.. Isabella namanya
Bella: What you did tonight?
Aku: Err.. studying.. (sgt awkward because you are studying on friday night! Friday night kat sini bebudak semua kuar parti, sejuk2 pun sanggup nak pakai baju xcukup kain) So, what you did tonight?
Bella: I... have a date tonight
Aku: Uuuuuuu, where did you go?
Bella: Do you know fraternity?
Aku: Yeah
Bella: Yes, I went to their place, we drunk a little bit
Lif pun dah sampai 9th floor. Dia berjalan dgn penuh seksanya ke bilik dia. I mean, dia pakai kasut yg sgt tinggi, boleh nampak dia jalan mcm sakit kaki ke bilik
Aku: Bye Bella, good night
Bella: Good night

Short conversation. Tengok dia pakai kasut tu, sakit kot. Dengan skirt pendeknya, xsejuk ke bella. Aku ni smpai dah selesema sejuk sgt, walaupun tiap ari aku pakai baju tebal. Aku terpikir, semua orang ni melawa sebab apa.. Hampa melawa sebab apa? Kenapa eh perempuan melawa? Entah la, tp kalau tgk kat sini, melawa sebab nak tawan laki. Lelaki. Hampa melawa sebab nak bg laki tgk ke? ke self-satisfaction? tp xkan la kalau self satisfaction pun, nak pakai pakaian ketat-ketat mcm buah nangka,boleh bernafas eh? "Allah kan pakai cantik, tu yg pakai cantik tuu" .. tp tp, kalau pakai xtutup aurat, Allah redha ke? hmm.. reflect balik diri, sbab apa pakai cantik. pakai pakaian tu supaya dapat kaver aurat kita, lelaki tak nampak apa yg tak patut, tak timbulkan fitnah, tak bagi dosa kat orang lain yg dok tgk/kutuk kita.

Back to what I am thinking write now, depa jadikan lelaki sebagai sebab utama depa pakai lawa-lawa, maknanya lelaki adalah segalanya bg mereka ke.. pergi kelas boleh je pakai sweat pants, sweater, baju tido, tp kalau nak parti tu, memang semua cantik, kadang2 tgk muka tu dah mcm hantu, penuh make up.

Aku pun reflect balik diri aku ni. selalu pakai baju ni.. kenapa. nak bg cantik? bukan sebab nk bg org puji, sbb nak tutup aurat. tp pakai mestilah yg menepati syara`. tudung labuh smpai ke dada, tak jarang, tak ketat. sebenarnya senang ja nak tutup aurat ni. tp manusia suka susah2kan. kata tu xboleh, ini xboleh. kalau tutup aurat, apa salahnya? pakai seluar tak boleh? iye, xboleh, kalau seluar tu ketat, dan pakai baju singkat, boleh nampak bentuk kaki tu. islam mudah, jgn la susahkan.. pakai baju tu pakai yg boleh pakai waktu solat. kalau solat rasa still kena cover, something wrong la tu dgn pakaian kita.

Lagi satu, pasal lelaki ni. teringat pulak. maknnya depa jadikan lelaki ni ilah depa? "Lelaki, kaulah segalanya untukku!" Pakai nak attract lelaki, tak rasa jdkan laki tu sbg ilah? Akak, ilah tu gapo dio? Err,, ilah tu byk sgt mksud dia. Tapi nak bg senang paham, ilah tu mcm tempat kita bergantung harapan. Kalau ikutkan kita kena jdkan ilah kita ni Allah. Allah saja tempat kita berharap, kalau sedih tu, balik pada Allah. Happy pun, balik pada Allah. ingtlah, Allah kot yg sbnrnya bg kita makan, hidup smpai sekarng, belajar dapat ilmu, by nyawa dan kudrat dapat bca post ni. semua Allah bagi. cuma kita ja selalu cakap, haa aku makan nasi, aku kenyang. padahal nasi tu alat ja, Allah yg bg kenyang, Kalau Allah cakap kau makan la nasi byk mana pun, kalau Allah xbagi kenyang, xkenyang jugak kita. Ni pun, take time nak praktiskan. Selama ni kita didoktrin utk makan nasi kenyang, nk keluar malam kena da teman. Padahal Allah kan ada, semua makhluk2 lain tu ciptaan Allah gak. Kenapa nk minta pertolongan pada makhluk, sedangkan kita bleh direct terus minta kat pencipta makhluk? Muhasabah balik kot.

Moga hampa dapat point apa yg aku nak cakap. Yg kurg tu dari aku, yg lebih tu dr Allah, hakikatnya dua2 dari Allah. Moga Allah redha dgn apa yg aku tulis, dan masa yg hmpa luang nak baca ni.

Wallahu`alam

bulatan gembira :)

Assalamualaikum wbt

Pejam celik pejam celik, dah nak smpai final week pun.. Next two weeks dah final exam, and then break for two weeks. lepas tu msuk semester baru, SPRING! kejap ja masa berlalu, rasa cm bru ja smlm smpai USA. Alhamdulillah

Orang cakap kita duk negara org, baru kita nampak hitam, putihnya tu. Alhamdulillah, kawan2 yg sama2 datang sini, alhamduliillah, nmpak la perubahan tu. kalau sblm ni free hair, ada yg pkai tudung. kalau sblm ni tudung singkat, ada yg dah cover aurat tu elok elok. kalau sblm ni xpenah kenal apa itu usrah, kat sini depa kenal usrah tu apanya. alhamdulillah aku pun tergolong jugak dalam tu. bkn xpenah usrah sebelum ni, penah kat sekolah dulu.. tp tak rasa manisnya usrah tu. dulu rasa mcm bnda tu wajib, and kena p walau ribut melanda. tp skrg alhamdulillah ada kesedaran sikit kot. dulu p pn malas2, terpksa, skrg alhamdulillah best. nk cakap pasal apa pun xpa, xdak barrier dgn naqibah.

usrah kami ni digelar "sorority muslimah". idea ni dapat sbb kat sini ada groups of minah salleh, they call themselves sorority. cm usrah tuk depa la. km islamikkan nma tu, so jadi la sorority tu.
kalau usrah kurg 2 jam tu, tipu la. selalu ja lebih, byk bnda nak cita dlm tu. tmbh plak naqibah style byk sgt ilmu dia, byk sgt nak dia curahkan kat km smua. [ ni pun, xpegang pada 10 muwasafat tarbiyah, tak menjaga masa ]. tmbah2 lagi, adik2 usrah akak ni pulak memang bising, ada ja bnda nak kongsi, nak cerita, kepoh habis kami semua ni [errr, jgn tiru kamii]

tp byk bnda la dapt kat sini, insyaAllah..
by the way, tadi baru dpt tau sorg naqibah km ni engaged.. terkejut kot. tp memang layak pun dia nak kawen pun. agama ada, urusan umah setel, insyaAllah

sedang ahli2 usrah km `bermunaqashah` pasal tunang2 ni dalam whatsapp [ah, kami ada group sorority muslimah kat whatsapp :P], akak tu bg gambar ni :

aha, ni da belajaq waktu program ISK dulu, ini sejarah kita.. ni pun klo nk cita panjanggg
tapi tapi, haa akak tu kata apa.. tang individu muslim tu ada 10 muwasafat tarbiyah, kena setel tu dulu baru boleh naik tingkat kedua tu which baitul muslim (ehem ehem). aduuhh, aku tgk ni, 10 tu susah kot, memang tak kawen la ceni~~

tapi kan tapi, meh nak quote la akak tu cakap apa, "nampak x 10 benda yang kat tangga first tu, weh 10 kot. xde yg tu/xberusaha utk dpt yg tu, jgn harap nak langkah tangga ke 2" dush dush. mksdnya, tak dak usaha nak jadi baik, jgn naik kawen la~ ingat senang nak kawen~ haishh

hmpa tau tak apa 10 tu? dok muwasafat tarbiyah dr tadi lg. tau dak? ingat g? meh nk remind sket
(aku pn lupa :P)

1. Akidah yg sejahtera

2. Ibadah yang sahih

3. Akhlak yg mantap

4. Luas pengetahuan 

(ada sorg bkn muslim ni cakap, quite well known jugak la org ni, aku xingat, dia kata dia xtakut dgn org islam sbb dia tau org islam ni malas MEMBACA ERKKKK)

5. Sihat tubuh badan

6. Mampu berdikari

7. Melawan nafsu

8. Sangat menjaga masa

9. Sangat tersusun urusannya

10. Bermanfaat pada org lain

InsyaAllah sama2 la buat. mungkin boleh tulis ni kat cermin, board meja study, peti ais atau apa2 ja. remind yourself. and lg satu, tulis 10 bnda ni dalam organizer, then pecahkan lagi bnda2 ni dgn apa yg kita blh wt nk bg diri kita da sifat2 ni. insyaAllah aku cakap ni bkn utk hmpa ja, aku pn kena buat.

"wahai org yg beriman! mengapa kamu tidak mengatakan apa yg kamu kerjakn? itu sgtlah dibenci di sisi Allah jika kamu mengatakan apa yg kamu tidak kerjakan" (As Saff:: 2-3)

Wallahua`lam...

first usa post

Assalamualaikum.

|| Ini post yg dah lama dah tulis, tersimpan sbg draft. dan malas nak edit sbb benda ni dah lama. but yeah, still my first post ||

Haha. finally after about three weeks, I update my blog. sungguh pemalas busy diri saya.
Okay, how to start? I donno. so much to write, but then taktau nak tulis apa.

Genap 16hb Sept ni, insyaAllah, dah sebulan kat bumi Allah yg Uncle Sam ngaku dia pnya tu. For the first week tu, kami semua tido kat hotel kot. sebenarnya kalau datang awal before orientation, km kena bayaq 20usd per night, sila convert. RM60 ye rakan-rakan. Kalau dekat hotel according to our seniors, belas-belas usd je sorg bayaq. satu bilik share 4,5 org, so save sikit di situ. eh eh, di sini 1 dollar pun berkira ye rakan-rakan. 1 dollar tu rm3 u ollss. mahaii

Mostly duit kami ni banyak dihabiskan utk transportation eg. bus 1.5usd sekali naik, dan taxi in case kalau p walmart nk beli brg2 yg banyak dah tinggalkan kat malaysia. makan kami kat hotel tu ditaja oleh seniors yg sangat baik, memasak utk kami. Alhamdulillah besaq pahala depa dok tlg kami, dah la bulan posa plak tu. Moga depa sentiasa dirahmati Allah. Aminn

Cerita pasal JETLAG. 2,3 hari ja jetlag, lepas tu dh ok. ngada2 nk tdo banyak je. ohoh! haha. .
memang for the first week tu, ada la beberapa kali terlajak Maghrib. Opps.. bkan sorg tp 1 bilik. huhu. waktu tu asar dia dalam pukul 5, mgrb pkul 8. cm xlarat tunggu, konon nak bgn la sblm mgrb. at last, semua pakat ... hailaa.. astagfirulahazim. tu waktu mula2 smpai ja, lepas tu dh blh adapt. Alhamdulillah

Orientation week depa ni bkn mcm malaysia. everything is compolsory. sini tak eh, ada gak la skip sikit2. hehe. g yg pntg, p yg betul2 wajib ja. terok kan? takpa, sbb yg x p tu p jalan2 seniri, explore tmpat smbil ditemani oleh seniors. lagi bgus kot, jalan2 sniri. btw uni sangat besarrrrrrrrr. besaq gilaaaa. tp terbaek ah.

apa lagi eh? cuaca sini, wktu tu summer, lebih kurg cm malaysia je. tp ingat g waktu first day raya tu (raya kat us. wuuu T.T), SEJUK GILA. dahla pakai baju kurung ja. grrr 11 degree kot wktu. memang badan kebal betul. km smyg raya kat satu park ni. bila smpai park tu, tgk mcm MasyaAllah. you can see Muslims in all colors! Best koot. jumpa Muslims selain dr Melayu, terujaaaa. khutbah tu dlm english, itu kepastian. takbir tu xcm malaysia , malaysia sedap g. ada lagu2. malam raya tu budak laki melayu ada takbir sama depa, untunglaa. aku dalam bilik bukak youtube, nsib ada tube anda, hilang kerinduan hari raya pd family :')

Haaa,, after solat raya tu memang banyak gila makanan yg terhidang. kami Freshman Malaysian sgt teruja.... karena ini raya first kami di sinii. beratur panjangg sambil memaparkan muka keterujaaan kami.. pabila sampai kami nampak ketupat rendang nasi impit sate makanan yg xpenah jumpa pun. dan sesungguhnya aku xleh makan makanan mcm tu, tgk pn kembang tekak. banyak2 makanan tu, amek muruku ja. alhamdulillah ada muruku. pnya la tgkap muruku, upload dlm fb, berterima kasih sgt2 sapa yg bwak muruku tu. btw depa wt cm potluck, masing2 bawak makann msing2. rupa2nya malaysian jugak bwak muruku tu, kawan ceq jugak yg bawak. aisey ptutla serasi elok dgn tekak melayu ni. memang dr Malaysia rupanya.

Stop pasal raya. Raya wktu tu ja rasa, lepas tu xrasa apa dh. p walmart, shopping beli brg je. see, dh xdak raya. tp ptg tu seniors ada ajak makan kt umah. alhamdulillah merasa jugak la lemang, nasi impit, nasi, lauk MELAYUU AYAM MASAK MERAH! dpt makan pedass, ya Allah nikmat gila. depa kt sini xmakan pedas ye rakan rakan. depa xdak sos cili, depa ada tomato ja. masam. xsedap. Alhamdulillah, nikmat :)

lagi.. dah kuaq hotel tu km duk la asrama km. hmm.. cena nak kata. bilik dia ok, aku amek bilik 2 org je. boleh la hidup. tgkat 9 kott. tinggi.. itu ok, semua ok. yg tak bestnya floor coed. tau apa tu? maksudnya 1 floor tu cmpoq laki pmpuan.. cooll takkkk?? huh

susah weh hidup cmni. Alhamdulillah Allah gerakkan ati org yg atuq bilik km ni, letak bilik dpn bilik air. memang kalau bgn tgh mlm, xwt tahajud, mg saja mlas la ni. bilik air betul2 dpn pntu bilik, nmpak tak nikmat Allah di situuuu... as we all know, mereka ni kuat berpesta. iya memang pun. tambah2 floor coed ceni, tgh2 malam bising. almost everyday. stress gk kdg2, org nk senyap2 depa bising. tp nk wat cena. btw aku rasa aku dgn roomate aku paling dikenali di blok kami. bkn floor ye tuan puan, blok. sbb apa? sbb km ni berhijab. org snang recognize. tp rasanya tu pun Allah tnjuk nak suh kami behave kot. jgn dok lagha sgt kat negara uncle sam ni.

so far semua ok je sini. yg kurg best kat sini
1. tandas xdak paip air
2. makanan yg kurg kepedasan

tp apa2pun tu semua bkn terdesak sgt pun. all is well. pilih jalan ni, so kena tmpuh la. org mai hntaq jauh2 ni, kena observe la. dulu wktu aku susah dulu, i mean, when i faced all the hardships, aku selalu doa. aku nak p negara org sbb Allah pesan suh mengembara di bumi ALLAH. bertebaran di muka bumi Allah ni, moga kita mengambil manfaat dan amek iktibar. yes, memang aku observe people kat sini. how they behave and so on.
1. depa polite. seriously. buka pintu, kalau ada org kat belakang, depa akan holdkan pintu tu. baik tak? kat malaysia cm susah sikit kot nk jmpa. lagi satu, aku penah tlg holdkan pntu kat sorg budak ni (budak=kanak2). comel je dia ucap THANK YOU kat aku balik. you feel appreciated! bygkan!

INTEC life is over #2

Bismillahirahmanirahim.

At the end of my previous post, I talked about the crazy grading in INTEC. This list I got from from Anis Nadhirah, my future roomate in States (misha, sila bangga :P)

and this is my Fall semester result :

my CGPA is only 2.97, and obviously it does not meet MARA`s requirement. Well, at this time, to get 3.0 above is the most challenging part for me. This is the only chance for me to study or not to study in the USA. This is the end of my Fall semester. Lets move on to Spring semester.


SPRING 2012


I am majoring in Supply Chain Management, or mudah cerita, it is a part of Business. So, I was in business class. There are only two classes for business course which is Boston and Chicago. I was in Chicago with all Malays in this class. (dah semua MARA scholar, memang la melayu kan). Okay, for ADFP, Spring is the most hectic semester. I do not know why, but yes, sangat hectic.

To be in the class with all Malays, maybe I should not scare of anything. Yet, I felt very nervous to be in that class. Most of them are fluent in English and some of them are native speakers. Dont you think they are cool? Can speak English without any hesitation. without worry about your grammar and bla bla. FUHH. cool kan?

But, Spring taught me something: To accept people who they are. Dont judge a book by its cover. Know people first before you judge them.
I was surrounded by people who are good in religion because I studied in religious school. I think myself   is not good compared to my other friends. Other than that, in school, I accept certain things or knowledge without questioned that thing. What about this? What if happened like this? and so on. INTEC really taught me about different people in this world. Students in INTEC is vice versa. They are searching, they are looking for the goodness. and they will questioned the thing till the are satisfied with the answer. I was imagined how I am going to face people with various religions in States nanti.

Previously, I dislike to keluar malam malam. I mean like having dinner after maghrib. But this hectic spring make me to keluar malam. Well, Spring change me quite a lot. -,- maybe.

As this the second semester and it was very hectic, I dont have much time to do outside activity. In spring, I learnt to give a speech, do research paper, write bibliography and many more. I think I learnt a lot of soft skills during Spring. I can remember how nervous I was while giving a not so prepared speech in front of Ms Asma, how Mr. Kamal tear off my paper (and my friends too) because of the wrong format, how I got my second test for Calculus for Business (that people said it is easy), how I read a lot of books about Vietnam economy, and a lot moreeee!! Seriously, I learnt a lot (just realised this when I list out all Spring memory. hee)

and not to forget about my class which was very SUMMER. some of classmates said it was like Sahara. We are keep changing class because of the aircond. We illegally entered Korean classes just to make sure we felt comfortable during class. At the end of spring, we decided to change class into one of MEP (Middle East Program) class that I think that should not called as a class. It is sooo biggggg!! How big it is? The room is very big till we can put mat there. we pray there and some of boys had their khailulah in the class. We also had our parade training in the class without rearranging the tables. Can you imagine how big it is? :D
Some of the classes get jealous with us because we can do anything just in our class. hee

Talking about class parade. Well. Hmm.. No comment here. Just saying, I learnt that before I get any project, I should make a research first what it all about. Just to make sure, the project is not against Islam. peace :)
but, I think our class parade maybe gave some general knowledge to other students who are wondering why there was a controversy for our parade. Sapa tau senyap sudah. At least me, and my other friends who do not know about it can learn. :D

Chicago cago

Other than this, we also have Speech Night during Spring semester. In Speech Night, the lectures will point a student from each class to give a speech in front of the crowd. I think this is a good idea as it will increase the level of confidence of students. With the support from classmates, the students who gave the speech will make their best in their speech, eventually make the students become more confident to speak in public. For my class, this is the lucky person to represent my class:

What we did to support him?
1. banner
2. posters
3. change our DP in FB

Why we did all this? We were like to give him support and make him more confident with himself.

During this hectic life, students started getting the offer from various universities.I got the offer from Penn State which I think the best choice. Penn State is ranked no 3 for supply chain management by us news. Penn State is like maahad jugak, they have many campuses all over Pennsylvania. I get the main campus, University Park, alhamdulillah. Well, that is. For now, I pass all the requirements : SAT done, TOEFL done, University Placement done. One more thing that still make me 50-50 to further study in the USA is my CGPA. So, hows the result? Am I qualified to further study in the USA?

Alhamdulillah, I got above 3.0. I did not aim high because I know it is quite tough for me, just ordinary student, quite possible to get dean list, 3.5 and above. Like our Pengarah said, " INTEC bukan lagi tempat kamu bersaing, tapi cuma tempat untuk kamu lepas requirement tajaan masing-masing untuk melayakkan kamu study oversea".
Yes, betul. I aimed dean list when I wan in IIUM (only for a month there ;p), but in INTEC,no. I dont want to aim high because I know my ability. Nah, present for my parents! :)


Waitt! I still have another semester to go through which is SUMMER SEMESTER. Two months only :)
Next post lah, tired already :p
Wassalam
