Looks like we've made it afterall

Graduation status: Pass. But of course graduation is one, a fun thing. Two have I not consider the not-fun-thing. Can you guess? Well, debt. 

Thank you much for ruining our fun sigh. But of course, I'm being very sensible at the moment. Without the loan, there's no way I can live peacefully during the studies. Anyway, I don't wanna be the cow tied to debt master. So let just work for money (of course to pay the debt) and pleasure and experience.

Pre-graduation blue is already in the air even though the full academic result is not out yet. So, let's walk the blues.

Kinda true, the lyrics I mean. It will happen somehow. But honestly guys, you are all my friends for real. For real. 

 

See you girls this September, at the place where it all started and soon ended. USM. I'll forever miss BATI class of 2011 .

Reminiscing

So I have finished school.

Yaayyy.

And my other half say... T_T

In time like this, we usually will smile thinking back at our old old time.

Like my sociolinguistics' class.

I love that class.

The teacher is interesting, the subject was awesome.

And when I think back about it, I cannot forget this one little figure.

Audrey Hepburn.

Why?

Well my teacher is a fan of her from the film My Fair Lady.

And now I'm in the club too.

I'm loving Eliza Doolittle!

Since May 5th is Hepburn's birthday,

here you go a piece of memory of her to remind me how beautiful varsity's life is.

Jumaat terakhir bersama mereka

  "Macam mana nak lupakan kenangan kalau kita sendiri yang buat kenangan tu?" - dipetik daripada blog orang jauh.

Dan sempena hari jumaat terakhir itu, aku nak kongsi video ni yang pada aku betul-betul menterbalikkan cara kita berfikir 180 darjah. Sesuai untuk freshgrad.






...dan ini saja nak bagi ampa semua nangis :p

Esok

Hari ni dah ramai kawan2 yang muat naik gambar majlis makan malam BATI semalam. Aku tak rasa apa-apa. Tak rasa sedih, tak gembira gila-gila sangat, biasa-biasa je, seolah-olah tak ada apa akan berlaku. Seolah-olah bulan depan, lima bulan depan atau tahun depan aku akan jumpa lagi semua orang yang aku jumpa hari ni. Aku tak dapat nak bayangkan lagi saat untuk tinggalkan usm ni.

I don't know how I feel...tomorrow.

I don't know what to say...tomorrow.

Tadabbur alam bab 2

Semalam saya keluar lagi dari bilik 6 dinding ni. Kali ni tak pergi jauh pun pergi pun naik bas nombor 11 saja. Tahu tak bas nombor 11 tu apa? Tanya rakan bangsa Cina anda, diorang mesti tahu. OK semalam cuma berkeliling sekitar USM oh, bukan sekitar tapi seluruh kawasan USM. Dari Halaman Bukit Gambir sampai ke Durian Valley, Padang Minden. Kalau dulu saya pi mentadabbur dengan kawan, kali ni jadi lone ranger.

Semua ni untuk menghabiskan filem yang berbaki lagi 20. Satu perkara yang menarik kalau duduk di Pulau Pinang ni lebih-lebih lagi kalau kawasan tu masih ada kawasan yang ala-ala hutan simpanan kecil macam USM, saya perasan pokok-pokok kat sini lain sikit. Mungkin sebab dipengaruhi dengan cuaca pulau jadi di sini ada satu musim iaitu musim luruh yang memang betul-betul macam di luar negara. Bezanya suhu takdelah jatuh tapi panas.

Subhanallah cantik sangat. Benda ni lah yang buat saya suka belajar di USM sejak tahun satu lagi. Bunga kat sini pun cantik-cantik banyak yang saya tak pernah tengok. Lagi satu USM berjaya memberi peluang untuk saya tengok laut setiap hari tanpa gagal :) Jadi tunggu apa lagi mai la belajaq di USM!  Oversea tu! =__=" (lamest joke ever.)

Aktiviti mentadabbur selesai pada pukul 12.30tengahari. Filem pun dah habis snap 36 keping tu tapi tak boleh develop lagi sebab kedai gambar di Sg. Dua hanya boleh proses untuk C-41 saja. Saya pakai filem hitam putih jadi perlukan chemical yang istimewa sikit. Sehingga berjumpa lagi dalam bab mentadabbur yang akan datang. (Dengar cerita keretapi kabel Bukit Bendera akan kembali beroperasi pada awal Februari.)

Let's just live

I am now packing for semester break. And with Allah's will I hope I reach home in one piece tomorrow evening. Tomorrow's journey will be the last time I ever going back home for semester break as a bachelor student for I am now in my final year. Kinda sad thinking that I will be leaving this way of life that has become a routine for almost like 3 years now.

Of course I have one more semester to go but...yeah...still...it's kinda gloomy inside. Plus, I went through this whole 5 month alone without a roommate. It's very cool at first, I could do anything you name it laughing my lungs out, rolling on the floor laughing, burping loudly, singing with high pitch, not turning off the light at night, and even fart anytime I wanted to. But, I'm just a mere mortal. I do get lonely sometimes, I'm less motivated, sigh~ it just that I really need 'the push' to make me jump of the cliff and do things better especially with my studies.

This is life. I had mine going on this way, you had yours rolling on  the way it planned to be by the Almighty. So let just chase the life the will lead us to the other life (it is quite covert isn't it?)

When we know how to die, we know how to live.

See you next semester USM.

Suspicious, Misconception, Understanding...

I always thought Moon Cake festival as the festival celebrated by Buddhist before. And to own my own shock nobody ever tell me how foolish I am for ignoring the few facts about my own 'countrymate'.

It took me almost 8 years to realize that Moon Cake festival isn't for religious celebration. Yes. Call me culture blind, I know I am and so sorry because I am not the only Malay who have this thought in mind.

Why is it important to know your own neighbor's culture?

Because you tend to have this little misconception and worst...discriminate them and slowly turn into racism.

I WAS a Racist. I guess many are. We simply judge without learning, knowing the real fact.

I don't want to be a racist. Why? Because I love all my Chinese friends. They made my university life feel good.

I just learned yesterday that Moon Cake festival is not the right name for this beautiful occasion. Instead, we should name it Mid Autumn Festival ( my lecturer told me this and he know all about Chinese history so don't try to deny him :)) )

Me and all my course mate celebrate Raya Aidilfitri and  Mid Autumn Festival yesterday morning under the same roof in the same room packed with colorful attire (most of it are baju kurung) worn by Chinese Indian and Malay babes.

We all sat down to listen to our Chinese friends 'lecturing' about the history of  mid autumn festival, the connection with the moon, and I know in Chinese calender the moon is brightly full at the middle of the autumn while for Hijrah calender, the moon is full during the first week of a month.

Oh ya, for Puasa & Raya presentation, I am one of the presenter, explaining the holy month of Ramadhan, the celebration of both Ramadhan and Syawal, hoping my non-muslim friends will now understand what they once no nothing about.

It was good. The food was good. The ambiance was good. The mood was good. The understanding is good.

By the way, I always find some Chinese sell boiled egg soak in herbs I forgot the name (which I cannot stand the smell before) so guess what? I ate them yesterday. And to my own surprise it taste so good especially the herbs gravy. You see? I used to disgust that food worried if it is not halal, and now I know it just an innocent chicken egg with pure healthy herbs and it is YUMMY!

Serunding + Moon Cake is now united.

Happy Mid Autumn Festival everyone and of course Selamat Hari Raya.

Musim cuti raya dah pun tamat. Tapi...ramai yang tak puas hati lagi~ dibawah ini antara luahan hati kawan-kawan FB aku : 

• Di hati ini, hanya Tuhan yang tahu !

        Di hati ini, aku rindu padamu ! 

        Mode : homesick ! ~

• tetibe otak blank..cane nak g kelas sok ni....huhu~

• back to reality..oh how i wish im still in wonderland

•  Alhamdulillah dh smpi umah..mase 4 packing brg lak nk blik usm..x smgtnye nk kemas brg! =_='

• adoiyai..bila balik usm je,mesti ada krisis mknan huhu oh,megi sup!rindunya..

Ni pula luahan hati aku (secara sarkastik hehehe)

• 
  

  Tak sabarnya nak balik Penang, cepatlah habislah cuti dah tak sabar nak belajar, nak berlari-lari pi kuliah, nak pengsan balik dari kelas, buat assignment..cepatlah~ (percayalah haha)

Dan yang ini pula, komen pensyarah aku khas untuk pelajar2 yang ngada-ngada haha

cuti seminggu, nak 2 minggu.. dah bagi 2 minggu, nak sebulan, kot. kalau nak cuti lelama, tak yah masuk U. duk umah je. bagi peluang kat orang lain yg betul2 nak belajar. common sense, right?

Ha...ambil kau kan dah kena sound. Takde sorang pun berani balas komen kat atas ni. Dr Noni dah naik angin~

...dan angin pun bertiup

CLUB CLS - Seat 6E
Perjalanan: Teluk Intan - Butterworth
Trip ID: XTW129

Begitulah yang tertera pada tiket bas aku. Perjalanan yang akan dikenang sebab itu perjalanan dari kampung ke Butterworth terakhir untuk cuti raya. Dah tahun akhir la katakan, nampaknya kali ni bukan aku sorang je budak USM dari Teluk sebab hampir separuh pelajar USM ada dalam tu...siap menyembang sakan walaupun tak tau nama :)

Sampai di Butterworth, bayar tiket feri RM1.20, tunggu feri 15 minit, naik+usha orang+tengok jambatan Penang+tengok awan+tengok laut(memang la tengok laut) dan macam-macam lagi aku buat untuk membunuh masa senggang tu. Angin tak payah cakap memang sepoi-sepoi dah la baru lepas hujan sejuk wei.

20 minit +/- aku dah sampai Georgetown...panjang ceritanya huhu takpe aku pendekkan. Naik bas Rapid U302 bayar RM2, sampai bilik pukul 7.25.

Maka disebabkan perut lapar, keluarlah makan dengan Nik dan Eza (dah takde muka lain memang dua ni je). Jalan punya jalan sekali kedai makan Melayu SEMUA tutup beb. Yang buka kedai mamak dengan arab je. Nak tak nak makan jela kat kedai mamak lai pun memang dah lama tak lepak situ. Lepas kenyang, buncit mulalah malas nak jalan...(dan aku pun mulalah malas nak menulis hehe)

Sebelum aku dengan Eza balik bilik kami lepak atau lebih tepat baring atas rumput tepi padang kawad dalam gelap. Aku pandang langit, aku pandang awan, aku lihat bulan, aku lihat dedaunan  dan angin pun bertiup...

Perjalanan yang indah setakat ini.

My Fair Lady (sosiolinguistik)

Hari ni sempena hari Khamis malam Jumaat aku tak nak tulis cerita berat-berat :)
Sebenarnya hari ni aku letih sangat-sangat, pagi tadi bangun pukul 4 buat 15ayat mufrod, muthanna dan jama' untuk kelas bahasa Arab, study sosiolinguistik sebab pagi tu ada ujian T__T

Soalan sebenarnya dah bocor tapi nak mencari jawapan tu haihh tak daya den. Soalan ujian tu semuanya berdasarkan filem My Fair Lady, jadi aku kena kaj semua ciri/ aspek sosiolinguistik dalam cerita tu.

Best? memanglah best sebab jawapan sebenarnya ada je kat dalam filem tu tapi nak cungkil keluar segala macam Cockney Rhymes, dialek Selsey, Hampton Court auwwhh berpinar mata tengok cerita 3 jam tu.

Subjek sosiolinguistik ni memang menarik untuk semua belajar tak kisahlah kau aliran sains ke sastera ke. Sebab dalam subjek nilah kau boleh kenal pasti orang yang bercakap dengan kau asal dari mana.

Contoh menarik yang aku belajar hari ni pasal Manglish/Singlish. Korang tau kan kata "outstation" sebenarnya orang Malaysia yang timbulkan lepastu baru meluas. Mat saleh tak pernah rujuk kerja luar daerah sebagai outstation tapi diorang cakap "out of town". Lagi satu, orang Malaysia kan kuat adab ketimurannya, jadi kita tak selesa nak cakap bahasa kesat (ni dulu2 la sekarang ni habis semua keluar). Dalam Manglish, perkataan "bastard" jadi "baskert" haha sebab bastard tu dah di tone down sikit.

Contoh lain GOSTAN, tau tak dalam BI sebenarnya nak cakap undur kebelakang apa? :) ha~ itu assignment anda minggu ini ye. Sila buat huraian 1 muka submit bila-bila korang suka :D
