Short semester

Salam 'alayk guys!

Right now I'm in my second week of my 2nd short semester, and I have to say so far it's going great except for my time management *coughcough.

I registered tahfiz and Arabic for Occupational Purposes for this short semester. Tahfiz is not really like the generally tahfiz, I just have to memorize the first juz of the Quran, so every class is basically tasmi' session. Alhamdulillah I managed to catch up so far, mayeb because I've prepared earlier and memorized 4 pages before class starts.

Meanwhile for Arabic for Occupational Purposes (AOP), it's an alright I guess. Even though my Arabic isn't my strongest, but I think I'll survive and improve.

But the thing is... I just know that I CAN CHOOSE between AOP or EAP (English version of AOP). And I just heard that theday before yesterda. I was like what??!!!

I should've know that earlier!

But maybe God knows best. I mean I did intend to improve my Arabic skills during this short semester. I want to be at least fluent in speaking before I graduate. So I have to work for it, and maybe AOP is one of the ways I can improve myself.

And maybe I'll get the chance to work in Dubai later on. hohohoo


Other than that (the classes), on the first Thursday morning (like early morning the day wasn't warm yet) BroSyarief called me. Which was rare. He called to invite me to his 8am session, reading shortstories in arabic language.

So after I intended to improve my 3rd language skills, of course that's like a fish to cat to me! So I agreed. But it started 8am that day. And I was frantic, I had like 50 mins top to get ready, I haven't even had breakfast yet! ...and so I rushed to get ready and skipped breakfast and managed to grab a water bottle along the way. huhu

Which means, I have 8 am classes/sessions every morning aside Friday! As joyful as that sound, 8 am class isn't what I fond of. I loathe 0830 class, what more an 8 sharp every day?!

But I guess I'll survive. I can do this!


So that's it for my short semester. I hope I'll continue to be greaaaaat and have great days everyday and manage my time properly and make notes! and also to make use of my youthful days.

Hence I'm going hiking tomorrow with Hz which I am so excited about! Can't wait!


Have a nice day guys!

Being Mak-mak and Owning A Home

Salam 'alayk guys! And good morning!

So last Friday I went out with my friend Hz (you can pronounce it as Hertz lol) to IOI Putrajaya. Initially we were supposed to go for hiking that evening at Bukit Gasing, PJ, but me being a sucker for nasi lemak, I persuaded her to postponed the hiking and continue with casual hangout, so that I can succumb myself to nasi lemak at my sister's. LOL!

She picked me up around 11 am, then we went straight for breaklunch at Seoul Garden. Honestly, I don't think Seoul Garden is my thing (even though I was the one proposed for Korean food). Because I can't eat those grilled food without nasi, but if I eat them with nasi, my stomach can't fit with more food! BECAUSE SEOUL GARDEN IS ALL ABOUT STUFFING YOUR STOMACH WITH LOTSA FOOD!

But I found the great soup that suits my taste. I think it's Tomyam Kimchi Stew, it doesn't taste like kimchi at all, but almost like general tomyam at tomyam restaurants. Even Hz agreed that the usual Seoul Garder Tomyam soup doesn't taste much, like it consists of too much spices I think.

Then after ending our luncheon with ice cream, we went round the floor just to walk and calm our almost-bursting stomach, and end up in Harvey Norman. and guesswhat? We didn't only cuci mata at gadgets corner, but also to the rest of the store!

We looked at washing machines. getting awe at the very modern and almost robotic like machines (they were so cool! and also creepy), then choosing what would be our pick, then dreaming of being rich. Then we went to the refridgerator section, and the cycle goes on.

The refrigerator section was where we spent most our time on in Harvey Norman. Those fridges have all kind of characrteristics and the interiors! Most of the time we look at which fridge has the coolest door... Then continue dreaming of being millionaires.

We can only dream.

But really I swear if I own a house and have kachingkaching I'd go and look for the best machines/items/furniture in creating my home. I have my visions on how I want my home to be, well almost English-like. Plus I really enjoyed looking at Keknis' and her mom's ig account, just to look at how they decorated their homes.

I'm really starting to feel like mak-mak you know. But without kids, and obviously without husband. Also a house. Huhu


Afterwards we just went cuci mata at Daiso (a must-stop-by), ToysRUs (and lost my Rebbit's ears *sobs*), Yubiso and bought a scented candle that doesn't smell very much, anddd mostly to satisfy my purse. Poor Hz that doesn't enjoy makeup had to bear with me shopping and cuci mata at makeup stores.


Then we ended our outing and she sent me back to my sister's around 5 pm because she needed to pick up her grandfather after that.


Now eventhough I don't think I spent much that day except on food, I hope that I won't splurge this Friday and just concentrate on hiking.

Yeay Hiking!
