بسم الله الرحمن الرحي

My vein is crippling,

With jars of soreness,

For sins I have committed.

My tears is dripping,

With buckets of guiltiness,

For faults I have admitted.

My lord, whom I am worshiping,

Please grant me your forgiveness,

For the dark past and present I have had.

"Ask pardon of your Lord and then turn unto Him (repentant). Lo! my Lord is Merciful, Loving"

Trash Mr. Blanket! Hello Tranquil Fajr ^^

2011-10-05T06:14:00.024+08:00

بسم الله الرحمن الرحي

Has waking up for fajr bothered you? Even if you set thousands alarms, it won’t be any help. Have you ever wonder why? Well the answer is completely simple; the evil whispers around you comfort you at the moment. Those whispers sound like a soothing lullaby, very harmonic and calming.

Wait…hold on! You’ll let Satan pamper you in sleep? You’ll let them lie by your side every single morning? OMG...That’s scccaaarryyy!!!

So here come people like me, searching here and there, for the tips to be able to wake up easily during fajr. And really, video made by Aiman Azlan did a good help, in my case. Here.

Based on the video, intention, dua’s and willpower insyaAllah could assure us to leave our lovely but full of our saliva drips blanket and pillow. However, I am not writing this just to restate what has been stated, instead I would like to add on few more tips that, I am myself have practiced them and find them very effective for a lazy-bump like me.

1.Of course, intention is important. Make it clear to Allah s.w.t that you really want to wake up in order to worship him, not for the sake of studying or…watching soccer games.

2. Then, we make dua’. There are three dua’s that were usually recited by the prophet.

If one of you rises from his bed and then returns to it he should dust it with the edge of his garment three times for he does not know what has occurred in his absence and when he lies down he should supplicate:

‘In Your name my Lord, I lie down and I in Your name I rise, so if You should take my soul then have mercy upon it, and if You should return my soul then protect it in the manner You do so with Your righteous servants.’

Followed by this

‘O Allah, verily You have created my soul and You shall take it’s life, to You belongs it’s life and death. If You should keep my soul alive then protect it, and if You should take its life then forgive it. O Allaah, I ask You to grant me good health.’

And this

The Prophet (S) would place his right hand under his cheek when about to sleep and supplicate:

‘O Allah, protect me from Your punishment on the day Your servants are resurrected.’ (Three times)

These Dua's are merely a copy paste, please note.

3.Will power is equally important. How much dua’ you make, if you don’t force yourself to wake up, you won’t. After all, our very own effort counts.

4. One of my naqibah sisters always performs whudu’ before she hits the sack, so I ask her, why did she do so?

“ It simply because I feel easier to wake up if sleep in state of having my whudu’ on” she answered and the next day, even she slept only for two hours, she managed to wake up during fajr. Amazing isn’t it?

It will be a good sleep even if it short if you are in clean and pure state. As Allah s.w.t commands in his magnificent book, the Quran

"For Allah s.w.t loves those who turn to Him constantly and He loves those who keep themselves pure and clean."

5. Last but not least, I discover that listening to the Quran verses during our forty winks could trigger my body to get up for fajr…haha… there’s no scientific explanation, but literally, I find it effective! InsyaAllah, it works for those who stay in places where the prayer times constantly change

Why don’t you try them first and tell me how it works. Remember…

Abu Musa (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "He who The observes Al-Bardan (i.e., Fajr and `Asr prayers) will enter Jannah.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

During my study in AAJ, everyone seems to yearn for holidays. But even during holidays, we still have mountains of homeworks and assignments. Like a real dream come true, now we really have the real breaks, no homeworks at all. Nonetheless, I still hear some complaints, and most of them coming from myself.

"God, I'm so bored!!!"

"When the JPA's going to call us?! *Waiting impatiently*

"I want to attend the 入学式 :("

but one interesting comment coming from Iffah's blog really catched my eyes.

"So far, I've gained 2 kgs. If the flight is being delayed, how much will I gain more?"

Well, she was not the first person I heard about the-gain-weight thingy, but this thingy has been disturbing every girl's mind. Staying at home when the food is always being serve on time in front of our eyes and of course, the lovely bed greets us seductively, causing us to hit the sack even though we were just filled our tummy a few seconds ago, obviously these actions will trigger our fats to go into sleep with us, instead of doing its work; burning.

And the scales will show us how much fats have been taking shelter in our body. The mutualism relationship between the fats and our body turns out to be the parasitism relationship. You get me? No?!

Originally fats provide us energy and we give them shelter, right? But because of our laziness, these fats alter themselves and store as lactic acid, which is at one time, they will become toxins in our body. They become parasites, that actually, cause the scale in the weighing machine to move to a bigger figure. Scream hard people! You've gained weight, HAHAHAHA.

Wait for my next post, I'll teach you how to Slim yourself down without cutting down the amount of food you eat and maintain your body weight without restraining yourself from eating creamy, cheesy, and fattening food. This tips are really coming from my very own experience, from 58 kg to 45 kg, no stress slimming process, wait for it people

When we talk about politics, everyone have the same in their mind, they want to vote the party that bring benefits to people and oppose party that will put the people in chaos. This is what we call Paradigm. But why some of them vote for Republican Party and some vote for Democratic Party? Some think republican is good, some think democratic is good. This difference is what we called as Fikrah (Mindset).

Let’s look deeper into the use of paradigm and fikrah. We all have the same paradigm, to worship god that brings good to the people, that protect the people, that we can generally call the Greatest, the Almighty. But why there are some people devote to Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam? That is because of Fikrah. Each one of them have their own mindset, either it is because of the influences of the media, environment, people and so on.

One who devoted to Islam, of course they should have their Islamic Mindset. What is Islamic Mindset? When we look at things, we automatically will relate to Islam. For example, A doctor who is dissecting a man’s heart immediately will say “ subhanallah, such a small organ plays a big role in human body. Once it stops, there will be no soul in the body”

Using 3 input devices in our body; eyes, ears and heart, these devices will create a paradigm which then will set our mind of remembering the greater one. The doctor uses his eyes and hands when handling the heart. These senses will create paradigm; “owh, this is the shape of a heart”; “the heart plays this kind of role….bla bla bla”. Then he starts to relate this paradigm with Islam. This action is due to his Islamic Mindset. You get me?

As a Muslim, it is vital for us to always remember god every time we do things. But rarely do we see people nowadays practice an Islamic lifestyle. These kinds of people call themselves a Muslim but they don’t really have an Islamic Mindset. They are not a few nowadays, but a lot.

To have Islamic mindset requires an Islamic lifestyle. It has always never been too late to “switch” ourselves so that we all can become a true Muslim.

Narrated Abu Huraira (Radhi-Allahu 'anhu):

"The best alms is that which you give when you are rich, and you should start first to support your dependants."

[Sahih Bukhari - Book 64, Number 269]

One touching, great event that Alhamdulillah went well except the time managing problems. Thank you for those who joined this event, may Allah bless you for your genuine efforts and your family for letting you to be involved in this charity work.

So, here's the chronology...

Thursday, 24th March 2011
Tesco Shah Alam
With Syarifah a.k.a Iffah a.k.a eafa and Ruby a.k.a Uya

Met up with Iffah after 2 hours going around Shah Alam just to find her lovely family crib. Thanks to Iffah for being such a "good co-pilot", hahahaha. Then, we both went to Seksyen 2 to bring Ruby along. Drove all the way to Tesco to shop for cake-making ingredients and also stuffs to be given out to those cute little kids in Teratak Nur Barakah. "First time going shopping for groceries without parents ^_^ " said the-never-realise-she-is-already-20 Miss Syarifah...lol.

Friday, 25th March 2011
Seksyen 13, Shah Alam
Iffah's family lovely crib

Went to pick up other girls at the ktm first before heading to Iffah's house. Around 12, we all started to do our parts ; making bookmarks for the kids, baking chocolate cakes and cooking some sardine roll. Such a memorable experiences ^_^ I've learned a lot, especially baking techniques, hahaha, thanks to the experts, Bie and Iffah, our chocolate cakes were marvelous.

Friday, 25th March 2011
Seksyen 24, Shah Alam

Teratak Nur Barakah

With Syarifah, Ruby, Fadhilah, Farihin, Bie and Yasmin

Well, we arrived at the Teratak a bit later than the time we had planned. Nevertheless, the bright smiles of those little kids welcomed us, making us felt at ease, like a home. We played games and treated them with some food that we made, Alhamdulillah, they liked it. They surprised us with a moving performances. Seeing them smiling, playing and teasing around were just enough to kill all the tiredness during the preparations. The chances to hug them, salam them and motivate them, felt like a dream come true.

Such a small effort brings a great smile in each one of their faces, Alhamdulillah. They don't have anyone, except those who are willing to share their loves. This memorable trip, hopefully it's the beginning for us to get attach with those who are in need. We have gained so much; scholarships, health, protections from tsunamis that was happened recently and many uncounted rewards, so why don't we , give back what we have gained?

Aman Puchong

Fazian and Idrus Sensei's lovely crib

As we all know, our beloved lovely AAJ's couple, motherly Fazian sensei and strict yet kind husband of our mommy, Idrus sensei held a makan2 at their house for their cute-cute little 20-year-old students ^__^ We all received a very warm welcome by the hosts, Alhamdulillah.

Afraid of not being able to try everything, with a very composed manner, like a lightning, we grabbed all the food served as fast as we could. Who could resist mouth-watering, delicious dishes, right. Food of the day, special pudding caramel and we-need-to-eat-more roti jala. Yum~yum~

seductive pudding caramel

More than ten fellas cracking down the house, of course the amount of mess we made was enormous. No worries. There are plenty of eligible bachelorettes in the house. From serving food to washing dirty dishes, we are on duty ma'am. HaHaHa. Not really. More of chatting than doing work, that's what women are.

crystal clean dishes

messy table

we cleaned them up!

Final of the event, photo session. Using my new cam, I had a marvelous day taking pictures of my peers and sensei. Thank you Fazian and Idrus sensei for holding such a great event ^___^

Shutting myself from blogsphere for months had been excruciatingly painful. OK, a bit of exaggeration, i presume, but HELLO, 4 months?!! Where have you been? Hibernating in Alaska?!! ^@^ Wooo...no way! Can't ever imagine myself living in place without Internet.

When i said it's painful not to blog, it's completely true. Preparing and sitting for various annoying, nerve-recking exams always put me in a situation where i could cry, laugh, be mad, and etc for no reasons. Seriously, if i could ever throw out all of these emotional disorders by writing, i would do so, but hang on, blogging = internet = 5 hours or more sitting in front of my baby laptop! So, the only way not to waste my time is by holding my horses and wait till the exams end.

Well, i'm back in this addicting blogsphere *huge applaud* If you notice, my new background style changes along with my new fashion sense (???). Grown up Nabila, she's going to Japan soon!!!! Ok..sudden announcement..but whatever! Japan my only dream, here i come dearie!

Along with new style, new fashion sense, new bla bla bla...I got a new camera. Outstanding features for only RM2700, my new baby Canon EOS550D is going to accompany me to Japan InsyaAllah and fill my not-so-nice bloggie with it beautiful pictures, insyaAllah.

Deeply SORRY for those who kindly dropped by my blog and ended up with disappointment (maybe??) InsyaAllah, with new camera, it will "juicy" me up to write more posts. InsyaAllah, with more open and mature thinking, I'll be a much more reasonable yet cynical (ha ha , so not me) writer that stands on my own principle and not easily being torn apart by some uneasy words or comments. After all it's not too late to go back to square one.

I'm often being caught in the clutches of sin especially when it has to do with Seoul Garden.Whenever i went to that place, i have to be prepared mentally, for the fact that I'll gain more weight because of the mouth-watering food and of course, my big appetite.

After a long battle with my sis whether or not going to Seoul Garden in Kerinchi or OU, we decided to go to iOi Mall, Puchong, without knowing that thare's a Seoul Garden in that mall. Great. It was a fate. Haha.

Compared to the one in OU, this place is much more spacious, less customers who talk out loud as if they are the VIPs and the best part is, great services. The raw meats, etc, were fresh and tasty. The ice cream was delicious. There was this one green colour ice cream that tasted like heaven. I kept having refill of it.

Eating while texting. I had never realised how many scopes of ice cream went down my throat. Fastest way of gaining fats, i guess.

Remember Chae Kyung of Princess Hour feeds Prince Shin with grilled marinated beef wrapped in lettuce. yeah, we tried that one too, and it was unutterably tasty.

Fine, i think i'll divert my so nerdy, old-fashioned way of thinking for a while. Lets talk about my current interest.

Not a book.

Not a hot Korean singer.

Not even a food.

Radiant in her very own way,

Dior Granville Purse/Tote.

She's hot right. I mean I just can't take away my eyes off her once i saw her in Glam. Of course she looks define and elegent, but she is high market, as we speak. I think this tote isn't in sync anymore but hey, so what if I have interest in it. I don't care if it's no longer this-season-must-buy list. It caught my heart, and I aim to buy it once i get my very first paycheck...err...which is in about ...4 more years? Yeah, whatever, that doesn't stop me.

I hate it when i'm being extremely lazy. My whole body become malfunction, most of the time I immerse myself under my comfy blanket. Though it feels like heaven, sticking to my bed and doing nothing means I've wasting my bloody time doing something worthless.

Where's your goal. Nabila?

Why are you being so lost,lazy bum?

Focus at the goal, not the hot looking audience! You don't want to miss the shoot right? Maybe in World Cup, there'll be second chance after 4 years, but in your current life dictionary, in AAJ story book, in EJU history, "second chance" is not listed in them. Which one worth the most? Sleeping or burning the midnight oil studying for the sake of my ambiguous future.

Misconception and misunderstanding. Why people keep bashing others by manipulating their words. The words that originally has good meaning of someone's opinion, and for some unhearted, negative-thinking people, those words can be interpreted deflectedly, causing a fuss and making those words as negative as possible. If you dont get what i mean, u better not. Basically,

I'm disgustedly mad, humiliated and annoyed by the immoral people.

Those words on my scarf, can be in wrongly interpreted if it's pronounced in japanese.

I can still remember

The softness of your skin when you held me in your arms.

The sweet smell of yours filled the room.

The firm voice of yours when you were mad.

The way you looked at me when you were angry.

The way you kissed my cheeks when you were delighted.

We both know that no matter how far apart we are,

you will always be my true and one love

you have always been the person that i want to be with

but due to certain circumtances,

you have always been the hardest person to be with.

Mama

Insyaallah

Time will decide when we will be united again

God will decide the place and the day

And when the time comes, i know this hope isn't false.

I LOVE U

1 memorable year of failing and success, pain and joy in AAJ has ended. Whether we are conscious or not, there’s only another one more year left for us to paint our life in AAJ. It is all depend on us, to make the painting beautiful or the other way. I had read Jimu 先輩(senior)’s note link for us, made me realize how important it is to do well in this 2nd year of studying in AAJ. It’s a vital moment for us to be firm with ourselves, to scarify something for the one and only dream that we all have been longing for, 日本に留学する (studying in Japan).

For this coming semester, I have a lot of plans that insyallah will help me to improve my being as a student, daughter and Muslim. The only way for me to follow these plans is to be stricter to myself. As a human, I have a lot of desire, not a good one I would say. But this desire taught me a lot about life and now, I’m ready to fight over it! I know, people won’t trust my words but this is my promise to myself, not to anyone. And I hope I won’t disappoint myself.

Process to self-betterment, Nabila’s mission

Study constantly

I don’t want to study last minute anymore because I know how painful it is, to rush things. Knowledge is like a boyfriend, I should date with him regularly so that he won’t dump me for being a bad girlfriend. And Exam is like the knowledge’s parents, I have to do well in them, to please them so that our relationship (me + knowledge) will be blessed.

Learn one song

Guitar is my passion. I had so much fun playing it. But seriously, I’m a bad player. More likely, a slow learner. It takes me days to be able to get any song's rhythm. Nevertheless, I won’t give up. I want to be able to play at least one song this year. Let it be a simple song.

Spiritually strong

Can’t find the right word but overall, I really want to improve myself spiritually, be a better muslim. I want to complete 5 prayers a day without any single excuses (like overslept). I want to complete reading Qur’an this year before the big exam. And I want to be more aware of my being, of the way I speak, I act, I think and I see things. Because I know, success won’t come without his bless. To be able to practice Islam in my everyday life surely the most success thing that I will ever do, Insyaallah.

Understanding daughter

Fighting with daddy is enough for me. I know sometimes we fight just for fun. It’s like the spice of the moment. But I had enough to fail him, to make him hurt and to pressure him. I want to be good. To be more understanding of his life. To not argue when I think that he’s wrong. I don’t want to fight anymore. I want to love him the way he loves me. I love you dad.

Time as best friend

As much as i treasure all my friends, i should treat time just like best friends. The one i would walk along with through joys and pains. I don't want to be left behind. I want to be along with it just as much as I want to be with all my girls. Enough said, I want to be punctual.

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed

is more important than any one thing.

A day with my beloved one.

2010-03-19T00:00:00.006+08:00

Girls' day out with my sis today. It was so tiring. Imagine, we went out from 1 noon until 11 at night. OMG...we wasted like 10 precious hours! Blame me for being such a shopping lunatic. Pity my sis who was being dragged by me just after her class finished at 10am. Now she's sleeping restlessly in her room, switching off all the lights so that i won't brag and disturb her :( Never mind. I should give her some time off. hehehe...after all I’ve been right under my sis nose the whole 2 weeks of my school break.

1. Post Office

We received the most delicious-creamy coffee at post office; the beans are specially imported from Japan. Well, let me get this straight, this coffee is actually my Japanese proficiency result, coming in the form of small parcel; it gave the good news of the day. やった！

2. One Utama

We both went into many shops, hopefully to find a new bag for me and a flip flop for my sis, and we end up, actually i end up buying skinny jeans from Miss Selfridge. Urrggghhh...I'm doing the same thing again every time I shop, which is buying things i shouldn't buy. Man...Sometimes I’m tired of my own irresistible desire.

Afterwards, we need to fill our growling stomach, right? I mean, what girls do after shopping? Eat! Yay, we ate at すしざんまい (sushi zanmai) and the food was freaking delicious. なべ(nabe),おこにみやき(okonimiyaki),すし(sushi),てんぷら(tenpura)...u name it. But u see, good food always come with big figures in the bill. It's quite expensive.

Opss...coming to shopping mall without watching any movies is a no no for us. We watched Alice in Wonderland and sorry to say, it didn't amaze us any bit. Still, Johnny Depp looks great in his super weird costume and make up. Remind me of Heath Ledger in Batman.

3. Tesco

For the first time we went by ourselves to buy groceries and it was totally freaking us out. Why? We almost had some accident at the car park and we spent a lot! It was totally out of budget and for sure our dad will scold us as we can claim back the money from him. I think most of the money spent on facial cleansing stuff. I had this long conversation with my sis about toner, moisturiser and blah blah blah. Seriously, why can’t we, women, wash our face with normal cleanses? I don't get it! It's so 面倒くさい (troublesome). I guess beauty requires patient, time and money... and even more than that. All right peeps. Off now, assalamualaikum =D

And when i start to spend, i am just no difference than those shopaholics. Cash flows out like water, no doubt. Looking. Trying. Paying. Non stop of wasting money. For real and for not, this is not a dumb blond-who-spend-her-cash-blindly story. This is my story. Shopping is my best friend. But diomand isn't. Just not diamond. Silver could be one. But not gold. Gold is for those who have too much money in their pocket, and think that buying thousands carats of it is satisfying enough. Gold is for those who doesn't know how to spend.

shopping brings smile to every women

The point is, i don't get it when people start to tell me that "if you don't stop, you're not gonna eat for a month" or "the figure in your bank will turn zero soon". HELLO! It's my money and i know how to manage it , ok? It's not like i'm going to spend it all out without thinking about how am i going to survive for next few months before JPA gives the scholarship money.

Let me tell you, if you are a girl, no matter how much hate you have towards shopping, you still have that shopping skill in you. I mean that's what women are made for, to shop, right? Well then folks, assalamualaikum.

The quickest way to know a woman is to go shopping with her.

Though it has been almost a month the Muslims perform their fasting, I’ve never get a chance to wish back to those who had kindly send me messages before Ramadan. I guess it’s better for me to wish Selamat Hari Raya in advance as I’m not sure I’ll be updating this blog in the next few weeks.

Selamat Hari Raya!!!

The AAJ’s 生活(life) is completely a rough road to walk on, it takes a lot of patient and guts to sustain in it. Every 学生 (student) is in the same boat, facing countless obstacles to get themselves up to the grades expected. But there are times we just need a slap on wrist, because most of times we has been showered with wealth and success, a small failure is nothing to be sad about. It’s just a slow call and reminders from god so that we won’t be drown in this 生活(life) which somehow we will forget our responsibility towards him, especially while we are over 勉強します(studying). For those who did not do well in 中間試験 (mid-term exam), please don’t give up and for those who nailed it, don’t forget him who gave you the glory.

Alright folks, that’s it. Got to go. Assalamualikum

Abstinence sows sand all over

Hey peeps! I've started my physic , chemistry and mathematics classes since last week. And Japanese language class is still going on as usual. My life is practically busy and tiring. Just imagine, i need to attend the classes from 8am to 6 pm with only 1 hour break during lunchtime. So much much of being a university student, right? I bet you guys are enjoying your university life now compared to us, AAJ no gakusei, who have been struggling muscle and bones (too much of exaggeration...) to adapt with AAJ's life.

To be frank, I'm not really enjoying these classes except Japanese class. Every time i went the subject classes, I just can't help myself from being annoyed by the teaching methods. Seriously, i don't understand the lecture at all! I felt like a crap. Am i the only stupid girl in the room who does not understand this, i mean, the lecturers are not talking in alien language, right?

For the sake of the other students and myself, hopefully things will get better soon. Thinking that I'm going to immerse myself in this crappy classes in another 4 months, I really need to build a strong desire to accept this way of teaching without affecting my interest to study in Japan. I'm off folks. Assalamualikum =)

2009-05-21T00:33:00.012+08:00

I wish that I have a better courtesy, when dealing with people I barely know. But I can’t help myself from showing my true self. I’m tired of trying to please people, becoming the person they want me to be instead of being myself. I’m deeply sorry to those that I had hurt due to my ignorance of their genuine feeling. I aim to be more carefree and not sensitive upon my being as a university student. I want to be more matured.

Wait…

Darn…why am I being so emotional? Curse me not. I’m stressed. Exam is coming soon. I keep switching on my PC and write this post. What for? Just feel like apologizing and explaining to my family and friends of why i refuse to reply their message or answer their call though i know i spend lesser time with them. I hope they understand my new life in UM. I feel bad and immature.

Anyway...

Guess who else read my blog…Ahhh...those AAJ no Gakusei fellas! Welcome ya’ll. I know you secretly or directly read my blog. Ignore my English mistakes and please do leave a comment even as anonymous. Let me know your existence so that I can catch you in school and give you a big punch on your nose. Nahhh..just kidding. But please do respect my privacy. No gossiping, OK?

I'm off folks. Assalamualikum =)

AAJ no Gakusei

2009-05-16T12:51:00.007+08:00

Shoot! My English becomes a bit rusty lately. Few weeks in AAJ; learning Kanji, Katakana and Hiragana for 7 hours every weekdays, I think my usage of English has become even lesser.

Anyway, I was having Japanese intensive class last few weeks in UM and it was stressful, hectic weeks ever. Life as AAJ no gakusei (AAJ’s student) is not like what I’ve expected, in fact, it’s beyond my imagination. Never comes to my mind that I would not have any more time to do crappy things like usual; DBSK-ing, blogging, surfing, YM-ing, etc. Well, some of us might have time to do such things, but as a student without any single Japanese basic, I feel insecure among those who are so-called god-damn-good in Japanese. That’s why I play less and work more.Hontoni Gomene (really sorry) to my friends who are kindly messaging me but I would either reply it late or not replying at all.

Speaking about AAJ’s student, I’m glad that I manage to find friends who are as crazy + serious as I am. They’re all cool and open-minded.What i love the most is the craziness and nerdy-ness of Onna (girls) and Otoko(boys) in J-yon class. Our class managed to get first place in both Hiragana and Katatakana Tesuto(test). Everyone worked really hard for it! Unfortunately, starting next week, I'm not going to be in the same class with others in J-yon except on Saturday, as the AAJ's administrator has re-shuffle the classes. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward for my atarashii (new) classmates next week!

I'm so going to miss J-YON kurasu!!!!

Enough said, I need to settle up all the documents for the scholarship purpose, go for medical check up and of course benkyoushimasu (studying). Sign off. Assalamualaikum folks =)

I just can't help myself from telling everyone I know about it. Do i sound too proud? Should i or shouldn't I be so?

If you think I'm going to Japan straight away, NO! You're wrong. I'm going to do my preparatory program at Ambang Asuhan Jepun, University Malaya. I'm going to learn about Japanese language and writings with other scholars. So, don't worry, I'll be updating this blog occasionally ;)

One Word.

2009-04-08T01:16:00.007+08:00

If someone bumps into you and says sorry, does it make u feel better or not? If your friend lies to you for some reasons, and he or she says sorry for their wrong doings, does it break the friendship bond or not? If you need to borrow your sibling’s computer without their knowing, and when they caught your bad act, you plead for their forgiveness, does it help or not?

The point is I don’t get it when some people told me that saying sorry is cheap, meaningless. Sorry is one word that could change anything that is bad into something nearly to good. You get me? No you don’t.

Let’s say you broke up with your boyfriend because he cheats u. When he says sorry to you, I’m sure your relationship will return to normal, either as friend or lover again. Or you might decide to treat him like strangers after he asks for your forgiveness. That seems better than enemy, is it?

"The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears."

~John Vance Cheney~

The quote clearly tells us how this word could turn bad things to normal, erase all the nightmare of doing something wrong. Saying sorry would prevent continuous feeling of hatred, not willing to forgive and so forth. This magic word definitely able to shed one tears and avenge.So, practice yourself everyday by saying Sorry even if it is relates to small and simple things like being late for class, forgetting your own ic number while dealing with officers and so on.

This word will remain meaningful although you said it thousands time because of the same mistakes, as long as you are being sincere. That’s all. I’m off folks. Assalamualaikum.

Native Speaker? So not!

2009-04-02T19:46:00.012+08:00

Place : Putrajaya
Time : 2pm
Group : 5 people including Ruo (Accountancy), Afila (engineering japan) , Siti (engineering), myself (engineering japan) and Huda (architecture)
Interviewers : 1 man 2 women.

I arrived at the convention center 15 minutes before the interview started, quite late i would say, since i got to perform my prayer first. By the time i finished, my schoolmate who is happened to be in the same group as mine rushed me to the panel corridor.

I registered myself to the Urusetia and started to mingle around. I met many SPM leavers with their very intelligent look,thus, it makes me feel a bit nervous and anxious. I had a nice conversation with this one Indian girl. She said she is a bit reserved and silent in her school. So i told her that I'm pretty much self-reserved back then but we all need to go through a stage of where we need to think out of our comfort zone and be confident. But no one knew that time my adrenal gland secreted a lot of adrenaline, causing my heart to beat even faster.

Apparently, I got into the interview around 3 pm because i was in the second group for panel 4. All of them were very friendly. They asked us to introduce ourselves and include out hobbies. So i told them i like to write blogs, hahaha, even though i have deserted this blog for more than 3 weeks. Then, they asked for my blog URL. The funny part is that, because my blog url is so weird (chopiex-ffntasy.blogspot.com), they laughed about it. I told them i was immature before when i named my URL. But now, I'm a matured young lady..hahaha..yeah right, nabila!?

Then all of sudden the lady asked me about my other hobbies for the second time after she questioned other candidates. I risked myself by telling them that i like to watch Japanese and Korean dramas. And before they bashed me, i quickly explained how this dramas have help me to learn a bit of Japanese and their culture. So they asked me to greet them in Japanese. I did as i was told to...hahaha..

"Konbawa, watashiwa Nabila desu. Onegai shimazu"

The male interviewer said something in japanese to me after that (can't remember) and i was like what the hell!! I hope i said it right!

The interviewers started to ask others if they know any foreign language. 3 of us know Japanese, 1 of us knows a bit of Tamil and another one is very fluent in Arabic. So the female interviewer decided to give us a discussion topic related to foreign language.

1. What is the advantages of learning foreign language to the students and country?
2. Why country like japan and Korea can be successful even though they're using their native language as the medium of learning?

The interviewers specifically picked which one to go first, so it's not really a discussion, hahaha. Overall i did my best in this part though i was stumbled at first. Next we were told to explain why we choose our course in BM. Hahaha, i can't switch my brain that time, hence, i was a bit stuttered and i kept using English words. I kept telling them "maaf" for not using proper BM.

Overall, it's a fun experience. I'm glad to have such a friendly but professional interviewers. My group mates were very helpful. I hope all of us got the scholarship. Whatever it is, i will definitely treasure this experience forever. Assalamualikum :)

Harden by the past, Break down the wall for future

2009-03-28T23:30:00.009+08:00

There are times that we never thought a friendship bond would be tied in a blink of eyes. Without realising how it happens, it somehow nurture a great feeling of being care, love and concern by someone who we used to call as strangers. In a moment of minute, these strangers become someone close that you want to share everything; hardness and happiness with them, no matter what circumstances it is.

Long time ago, the word friendship never comes to my mind. For me, if I could not trust my family, then why should I trust others? But my perception changed as I meet this wonderful group of people. These people whom I treasure the most. These people whom I am scared of losing them in future. These people whom I care and love more than just strangers. These people whom I hope I could open up bit by bit in future about my true self. These people whom I met 4 years ago but get close to recently after SPM.

Enough I can say, how bless I am to be able to know you guys. You are all special in my heart.

Well, we all did it. Getting the best out of all. No regret at all. In fact, I feel blessed. Never expected such good results printed on the white slip. Not as good as others though but getting straight A's after all the things happening around me ; skipping school for doctor appointment, skipping class for the sake of the environment, ditching my homework because it's too much, and the lists still go on...I'm truly not expecting this result. My last minute works are paid after all ; lack of sleep during exam month, ate too much of junk to release stress and such.

I've been spending past few days in front of computer, filled up the scholarship forms and stuffs. Plus, I'm currently helping my sister to apply scholarship for her undergraduate study. Too much work. Too much things to do. Thus, I've got to sign off now. Please pray for my success. Assalamualikum :0

The war that is happening in our sisters’ and brothers’ land has caught many attentions around the world. As much as I’d been quite ignorant and helpless before, I’m very aware of what’s happening there. I guess being in a peaceful country makes us forget of who we are and what religion we devoted to. Not until we have to face such obstacles, we won’t wake up from our sweet dreams. While those who’s having nightmare now in the land of Gaza, being trampled and tortured deeply, we are still lived in this world of delicacies. Thus, this post is specially published to give tribute to those who has been fighting and killed in order to protect their family, house, school and our beloved religion. May god bless them along the way. Amin.

Signing off. Assalamualikum ;)

Why I haven't updated this blog for like more than 2 months? Well, I have thousands of reasons for being absent but right now, I'm too excited to write down all of it, instead, i'll go straight to the point, I'm So Sorry. I'm sure those who kindly visits my blog has getting bored with my not-so-updated blog. Whatever it is, I'm back!!!!

So, what's going on around me right now? Huh, a lot! But let me ask the former Sri Amanians batch '08, do you still remember when Liyana was going around the school and fussed about her sweet and beloved JaeJoong? Do you? I'm sure most of us are familiar with that name. I mean, if u know Liyana, then u should know who jaejoong is, right?

Jaejoong a.k.a Hero

For those who doesn't know who is Jaejoong , well, I'll tell u now. JaeJoong is one of the members in Asia best idol group which is Dong Bang Shin Ki/Gi (DBSK-korea) or Tohoshinki (THSK-Japan) or Tong Vfang Xien Qi (TVXQ - Asia+Malaysia). They got a lot of names, right? That's because they are really famous around Asia as they won numerous awards all over asia. They have a very manly, masculine, mature and sexy image. Their voices are like heaven and they are drop-dead gorgeous. Plus, they are good in dancing, damn good! Owh, not to forget, they speak fluently in Korean and Japanese and a bit of English and Chinese. It's a full package, right?

DBSK or Tohoshinki or TVXQ

Hmm...so, what's Liyana's thingy has to do with me? I wasn't bother about this group back then. In fact, i got irritated when those who loves DBSK/Tohoshinki/TVXQ talk about this group. I mean, they're really obsessed with this group. Well, i guess i have change my mind. Now I've fallen head over heels towards this group. Why? Easy. They are one of the most high quality artist in the world. When they perform, they don't lip-sync. In fact, they sing and dance at the same time. Cool, isn't it? Watch them here

:) Love it!

In my previous post, i said that i have crush on Jonas Brother. Actually, I'm over them already! My latest and hopefully forever crush is Choikang Changmin a.k.a Max from DBSK. I know, I know ; Nabila, you will get over him soon since 'you ALWAYS change your mind like a girl change her clothes (hehehehe)'. Well, just pray that i don't, okey?

Changmin a.k.a Max

Ok, that's all for today cause I've got to go for my driving class. I'm off for now. Have a great New Year! (though it's too late). Assalamualikum.

Maybe i can google for it someday. Consider it as you're being tagged...hehehe...i know, most of us hate for being tagged (Opss..shifa, i haven't do your tag la....). Anyway...i'm off for today.

I know, the title wasnt that catchy or understandable. I'm so out of words..heh. But to make it short, here's a book that i'm currently reading. Thankx shu gi for lending me this incredible book, the Kite Runner. I learnt lots of good things from this book.

Khaled had truly made a good job in writing this touching book. When i read it, i felt like i'm one of the afghans kids, being ajnabees in their own country. It's not a great thing to be or to feel this way in your own place, in fact, it makes you wanna run away from it. And sometimes you feel like you want to be in others' shoes but you obviously cant, rite? So, what choice do you have? Stay and remain as stangers or make a drastic change? If you were in their place, what decision will you make?

Owhh.. here's the poster of this book in movie version. The movie had been nominated for best original score for Golden Globe and Academy awards. I personally think that it should have won the awards but no luck, i guess. Anyway, i'm off folks. Bye -: assalamualaikum.

At least i managed to catch up everything like Linsay Lohan is lesbian or 'bi' and new version of donald trump money making reality tv series, celebrity apprentice ( i hate it!), well, thanks and sorry to those blogs that i'm stalking everytime i online...hehehe (gomene and kamsamida). I'm kinda support those who make an effort to write blogs so that they can share something with everyone even strangers. Sharing is caring, so, gambate!

Back to our initial topic...so i kinda like the ending of gg, it seems like no one pairs together for summer ( except for nate and vanessa and of course, famous mrs. van der woodsen who already tied the knot with mr. bass). And I know you're gonna be shock with this, I like CHUCK so much..ok.. just exaggerate. It's a bit weird cuz most people like either dan or nate ( owh... they're handsome) but i like chuck because of his attitude, you knoe, selfish-playboy brat who never think of others feelings except himself. I'm just fell in love with his bad boy attitude. Anyway, i think that's enough. I've got to go now. Bye folks :- assalamualaikum.

Ever heard of Twilight series? I bet you are cuz if you're not, you should read it ASAP. This romantic-vampire novels are absolutely irresistible. The most interesting part is that one of the book of these series is going to be adapt into a movie. It's really cool. Check out the trailer below...

So, this is their official poster for the movie which is going to be released in Malaysia around january next year ( Dont be fooled by the date released shown in the trailer cuz it's the premier date in US and hey Londoners, i heard rumours that you guys have to wait till march next year for the movie, pity ya'll but it might not be true,right?)

Anyway, below are three of the cover books of twilight series or better known as Twilight Saga among the twilighters (the fans)-me too,me too

Ohw.. before i sign off, i'm proudly to say that i'm one of the twilighters, hehehe. What would it means if i watched the trailer more than 10 times and read eclipse ( just bought last week during my birthday) again and again, i'm obviously die-hard twilight fan! hehehe.

The world I live today,
I live as Allah's slave,
The world i feel now,
I feel thankful of all his gifts,
The world i see through my naked eyes,
I see tonnes of pain and slavery,
The world I've come to breathe in,
I breathe more dust than his fresh atmosphere,
The world I've never cared about,
I care that i couldnt stay any longer,
The world that soon come to an end,
I'll end it as Allah's slave.

2008-03-16T17:18:00.016+08:00

had some hand spa treatment yesterday with my cousins at Pavillion,
it was my first time and i like it.
not buying anything,
just check out some outlandish albums at Speedy,
but, yeah, as predicted, "no danish album here,miss!"

today, i study isomers, which at first, i hated it. Well, it turns out that this topic is cool and i like it. In fact, i like the whole chapter. the carbon straight-chain, structural formula, molecular formula, you name it. See, how something that we hated will become something that we like, as long as we get to understand it better. Same like love, you might love someone that you hate the most. Agree?

if you ask me what is my greatest enemy beside satan, i would say TIME. Even though i have my daily schedule, time is running so fast. Sometime i become exhausted to catch up with time and if i do have free time, i'll waste it with unnecessary activities, but not all the time.

Things even happen without any plan. I went to my grandma house yesterday to visit my atuk which I already mentioned in my previous blog that he is sick. Then, my auntie and cousins invited me to join them for that spa thingy. So, i had to change my plan which is to go back home before dusk and study at night. Actually i can choose whether i should or not follow them to Pavillion but yeah, things happened for reasons. Anyway, enjoy your day folks. Assalamualaikum.

Honestly, this past few months, i've been obsessed to euro music, starting from samiyusuf and then leona lewis with her debut 'bleeding love'. I've becoming more and more addicted to europe music than american one after i know this totally amazing group, outlandish that i discovered from kak husna friend's blog, rusya. Now, seriously, when i'm searching for editors and well, it seems like this group is not my type, i start to search about this uk artist, Adele Adkins. She got an extraordinary voice (but still cant defeat outlandish or to be exact, isam B voice..hehehe) and in fact, her vid clips titled 'chasing pavements' is so cool. Check it out here!

Well, how was it? It's just 'wow' especially during the dancing shadow part,rite? I wonder how they did that. Human intelligence, huh?. Ermm...i have to say that we've been given brain to think, invent and modify. Every modern stuffs and gadgets, now and then, could not be invented and created without our wonderful brains. So, thanks to Allah almighty for giving us this miracle. Alhamdulillah. Got to sign off now, assalamualaikum folks! Nite-o.

should i give up

or should i just keep chasing pavements

even if it leads no where,

I finished my monthly exam today.

relief,yeah, but still feeling anxious.

Knowing that i left 1 question in bio paper.

And i only get 77% in math, which i expect to get higher marks.

Saridah said " Nabila, it's still A1!"

She's right, i should be thankful even though i'm not satisfied with myself a bit.

anyway, Allah Almighty is always with me.

That's why i've never been sick during the exam.

Alhamdulillah, thank you Allah s.w.t.

Well, guess what, i went for 'sajak' competition last week. It was my very first time entering this competition and reading 'sajak' in the correct way. Again, alhamdulillah, i won the second place unexpectedly, defeated the other so-called professional sajak reader ( isnt it?) and i'm going to compete in district level with the other top 3. Am i happy? Duh, of course. I become more excited and happier especially when i share my happiness with my teachers and my classmates + schoolmates. They're so cool and supportive.

hey, my blogie got a new skin!
I feel like myself rite now cuz brown is totally my fav colour..hehehe.
I got plenty of brown clothes, baggie, brown sheets and more.
Now, my blog is brown in colour. Quite classic.

well, yesterday, my group .: shifa, stephanie , nadiah, darshini and myself :. should present our oral test but miss tana said it'll be postponed until after exam. It's good, i guess, for some of us because they're kind of not ready, but, i'm quite dissapointed. I've been preparing so hard for the oral and i just wanted to get over it.

I watched Juno just now but couldnt finish the movie cuz my pampered bro keep bugging on me so that he can watch his power rangers. Urghh, what is it so fun about power rangers? i would prefer him to watch teletubbies. I've always been a fan of tubby since i was like standard 2. it's so cute to see those tubbies play around and then they show some interesting clips ( there's like a small screen on their stomach, weird rite?).

anyway, my tutor thingy just ended last week.
Both of us are busy and yeah, we have schedule problem.
Somehow, i feel bad about it.
You know, not giving my best and couldnt teach her anymore.
But then, i got more time for myself, dont ya think so?

2008-02-16T00:08:00.020+08:00

People love friday, so do i.
but the thing is everytime it's friday, my day will be upside down.
urghh, i just couldnt help myself from taking a nap after school every friday evening, which is i shouldnt.
yeah.. cuz it will take more than 2 hours.
2 HOURS of taking nap, silly right?
Then, i'll wake up and start to cursing myself.
my daily schedule is ruined,
by my own avoidable mistake!!!
So, nabila, never, ever taking any quick nap on friday evening!!

Five reasons why this week is stressful...
1. lots,lots of homeworks
2. march test is around the corner
3. i had to use my pc to do some research for my oral test, in which mean, i searched more crappy things than what i initially wanted to search.
4. i went to school late for 2 days but luckily the prefects had not taken the latecomers' name yet by the time i reached my school ( alhamdulliah, Allah Almighty saved me twice).
5. my atuk is sick and i havent visit him yet, bad nabila.

Firstly,for anyone who thinks that The Golden Compass (TGC) shouldnt be compared to a low budget movie, Jersey Girl, i'm terribly sorry. I admit if you thought that TGC is a great movie or so~so. Maybe i was just too upset when i wrote my last post about TGC, that's why i give D to that movie. I was hoping that TGC will be as good as it's rumoured to the lord of the rings but yeah, i was wrong. I dont wanna talk about it anymore, still, i'm didnt mean to hurt anyone regarding my lousy comment, hehehe. In spite of all this argument, my perception towards TGC remains the same. So, gomene!! ~gomene means sorry in japanese~

I'm feelin a bit sad rite now cuz my sisters are going back to their Uni tomorrow. I dunno why,, when they are infront of my eyes, i'm always hoping that they're not there. But now, i started to feel something missing,which is our fighting moment. :(

* my chubby sisters.. i'm hoping that they know how much i care and love them. Aja Aja fighting, syasya and yaya!

Just now, my dad ( he's back from abroad) had some chat with my sis and i on da way back to our house after shopping. He seems like putting lots of hopes on me and my sis. Next year gonna be tough year for both of us. it's gonna be final sem for my sis and i'm gonna sit for my SPM! In fact, my dad is also gonna sit for his master exam next year ( part time student or whatsoever u call it) , so, of course he hopes 3 of us could graduate with honour/honest. Gambate papa!

Growing up with my family ~ happy eid ul-adha~

2007-12-19T10:58:00.002+08:00

Happy Eid ul-Adha everyone !!! It's a day where our beloved nabi Ibrahim (Abraham) was willingly to sacrify his son, nabi Ismail (ismael) for our god, Allah Almighty. In Malaysia, this celebration starts with a short prayer followed by a sermon (khutbah). Later on, some goat or cow will be slaughtered (using Islamic method) and the meat will be distributed to all moslem especially the poor family in certain area.

Honestly, this year isnt the best year for celebrating this festival (raya) for me and my siblings. Both of my parents are away from the country right now. We're so sad cuz our parents are not going to join us for this raya. But, hey, think of it again, its kinda normal cuz a few years back, there are few times we're not celebrating this religious festival together. Whatever it is, tonight, my uncle will fetch us to go to our dearest mak nek's house. Although my parents are not here, i still have my family with me. They're all very concern about us and i cant thank them more for all their good deeds towards my family. Eventhough sometimes i hate my family, but i think they're the best of all. I LOVE MY FAMILY SO MUCH!!!

All right, enough about family. it made me even more sad...waaaaaaa. So, now i'm gonna talk about how's my life goin on lately. Well, it's definately average! nothing fun at all. Like normal, i wake up, then study, playing pc and then sleep again. Man, it's so hella boring. Maybe tomorrow's gonna be fun, u know, i'm gonna meet my beloved cousin. Should i list all of them??? heheh... ( seems i cant resist myself to talk about my family,hahaha)

Teta and Uncle Deli's daughter

Teta with her shopping type and the most caring person, she's one of my role model. Uncle Deli with his 'Abg Deli' title, he's always looked young!

Afifa - the prettiest one, she's more like my little sister. (hey she got all A's in UPSR,so genius!)

Tantina and Uncle Lans' daughters

Tantina with her clean habit, love her cuz she makes us comfortable around her family! Uncle Lan the golfy, heheh, eventhough he's busy with his golf thingy with uncle shah, he's still entertained all of his nephew and nieces.

Erin - She used to be tomboy with her shorty hair but since she went to college this year, she changed a lot, from the way she's dressed to her hairstyle, totally gurly

Lisa - Aha, she's the matured one. Eventhough she's 1 year younger than me, she's more like my big sis..no that's so not appropriate, well, she's like a friend for me.

Tanteh and Uncle Shah's children

Love Tanteh cuz my mom and her look alike. She's also fashionable and strict! Uncle shah is just like Uncle Lan, but he's strict too. I like him especially when he's become the imam during prayers.

Afique - lol. The only male cousin ( mother side) i've got. Apparently, he grew up taller than me and it's s*uck

Mira - Naughty one..hahaha..i love her cuz she's so sweet. She's always get bullied by tantina, hahaha.

Aja and Auntie Azma's daughters

Aja, my beloved teacher and uncle. He taught me add maths last year and surely he's good at it. Thanks aja!!!! Auntie Azma is so sporting. When i see her with her daughters, they're more like frens than mother and daughter relationship.

Hidayah - She so gentle and very sister-like ( she's the eldest)
Hazirah -Brilliant, she got all A's like fifa in UPSR!!! Love my cousin..

Hanisan, Qimah and Zulaikha - they're good in cartoons...hahaha. Seriously, I slept at their house last year, they're like so excited with disney chanel and such. Cuty cousin!

So,the lists go on with my father sides. Couldnt write it now cuz i gotta sign off . Gonna watch anime cuz tonight and tomorrow, my pc will be away from me..hehehe (Eventhough my sis got laptop). That's it. Bye Bye ~toodles~

I have to make this short cuz i wanna take a quick nap afterward before i continue my study session on 2 pm ( study..gambate!!). so, the truth is, i've watched the Golden Compass and what i can say is that the movie is s*ck!! It didn't come out like what i've expected and i'm so frustated. Eventhough the movie can be in the same level as Jersey Girl film ( starring J.Lo and Ben Affleck - don't you ever watch it...you'll be dissapointed if u like ben as i do!!), i should give some credit to Nicole Kidman for being evil in that movie. Overall, i give D to the movie but A to Nicole's and Dakota's acting skills!

* She's pretty and talented. No wonder she's my sis favourite actress. Kind of sad that she got divorced with Tom Cruise cuz they are suitable together!

Well, this is my first time writing this renew blog. Actually bofore this, the the title of the blog was 'never ending' but then, i changed it cuz i dunno, maybe something wrong with it. Well, i decide not to have breakfast this morning eventhough my stomach starts to play 'keroncong' music ,hahaha. why? it's because i ate double cheese burger last night and it's totally make my fat body become fatter. Man, i'm shaking now, afraid of gaining some weight!

So, last Friday i chat with one of my ym friends who studies in London. He's so kind that he dont mind to share his experiences in that paradise city. He even taught me some British terms like they use 'cheers' instead of saying you're welcome. He also gave me some info about scholarship in Malaysia and tips to get the scholarship offer. :) I'm not wasting time while chatting with him though. He's obviously a great person, that's why he deserves to go to UCL, University of London! After chatting with him until 3 am, i went to bed. It's tiring but what to do, the time range between m'sia and london is around 7 hours.

*London is still my dream city eventhough i've been there once! Hoping that god will give me one more chance to step on that land and feel its fresh air! Amazing!!

The next day i went to Mak Nek' House ( my grandma) to congratulate my cousin's achievement in UPSR( apparently her family lives with my grandma). She got 5 A's, hooray!!and that saturday night, both of us decided to make some inai from inai leaves and soaked our hair with it all night. Actually, we wanted our hairs turn to brown colour but, hehehe, it turned out that out 'experiment' is a failure. Kind of sad cuz after that, our hairs become smelly and i have to use a lot of shampoo to get rid of that stinky smell. Wah...it means my hairs full of chemical (from the shampoo..)! Hate it!

Today, i want to open back my book cuz exam is getting close. I feel stress and lazy lately, so i didnt study at all. It's not good but hey, it's holidays! I want my time out and go to beach! If i can play with seawater and its soft sand, i'm in heaven then..hahaha..yeah, now i start to build a castle in the air! Whatever, i have to go now, sleep again and study later, hehehe. Chow!
