Happy Diwali

October 26, 2011 was a meaningful day to be remembered. 

For the first time in my life, I celebrated Diwali with my lovely housemates at Hudson Road. Thinking about Deepavali in Malaysia, the day was not more than a day off for me. It was even more boring because most of the TV channels aired Tamil programs- the reason why I persuaded abah many times to install Astro at home. :D Indians were like 'aliens' in my life. I haven't had any Indian friend before I came to IPDA. It is so hard to see Indian in my hometown. Whatever it is, life is a magic. Now I even have a reason to learn spoken Tamil. The significance of cultural knowledge seems greater than before.

Thanks Viki and Kuben for making Deepavali this year a memorable one.We enjoyed Thanks for the delicious curry and sambar too. Ops! I did not spell wrongly.. it was sambar, yes, sambar but not sambaLL. The dishes was superbly nice, some was mild but there was one that made me feel like brushing my tongue.I also was overawed with the amount of garlics, onions and ginger used-pretty much like a huge 'kenduri'. 

Anyway, what I want to point out is from this entry is to appreciate the difference between you and your non-Malay peers and learn about them. I believe that life can be viewed from different angles if you talk to different people...and ultimately love will come from within.

 The concept cannot be any simpler than "With one language you can read so many books, but with two languages you can read even more".

Commitment

16/10/2011- Malaysian Society of Portsmouth Welcoming Event (behind the scene)- see my 112 pieces of roasted chicken =D

I'm back..! =) I was spurred to post this entry because of my excube mate. That was quite a nice thing when you know that there is someone who actually wants to hear something from you, precisely the continuation of my pointless ramble here. Hehe. Thanks for your curiosity and concern Faten. There's nothing to be an excitement in my life at this moment. This is my fourth week in Portsmouth after my heavenly two months of summer break in Malaysia. I'm here again for the remaining 9 months. Don't talk about time again. In a blink I am now a senior among the undergrads. People can now address me Kakak, regardless of my attempt to look cute and young. It has been ages but I've never attained success to look as such..heheh tsk tsk tsk. Life in Year 3 is even harder that what I expect. In fact, I am struggling in managing my dreams within this very short period- to travel, to manage usrah, to join Islamic programs, university trip, to score in exam, to manage activity for the Malaysian Society, to reduce weight, to practice cookery skills, to fulfill my materials demand, this..that.. Ya Allah it's just like you have a small pocket but you want to collect 1kg of Rambutans, am I using the right analogy here? hehe..which means that you have to bear with the risk that some of the Rambutans might fall down. Quite a few times that I digress, I did something unimportant and ignored the one that I should prioritize, and in the end I was left at the losing end. The best example is about the Malaysian Society. I had promised myself not to involve as a committee members anymore during final year due to so much conflict and unsolved issue, yet I still stepped in. I should have tied my head from nodding when I was being nominated last year but there is no use to regret. It is the trust that I value. For usrah, Kak Jannah put her trust in me to run the usrah and represent my batch. My commitment is getting heavier to be shouldered. In spite of all the additional duties, deep inside I believe that it is just a small bit. Life ahead is much more challenging. Therefore, I should be prepared to face all the commitments in the future. Allah has arranged for all of this responsibilities, but He also had compensated me with supportive peers. Alhamdulillah.. Maybe He wants me to be an 'Octopus' this year so that I can make the most and learn more. Anyhow, I am just hoping that I could achieve as much as possible in this final year, without having any plan to fall by the wayside. Amin

Pernah teringat ayat ipi when she was describing my personality "Yuni kan suka komitmen2 ni.."
Nope Ipi..that isn't true..hoho
 Commitments could make one to psyche out ok!  It's all about the voluntary action that is built upon trust of other people... whoever hates responsibility, in other way he denies reality...hihi.teringat line spiderman..not really sure about the accuracy but it is pretty much as "with great power comes greater responsibilities"...fuiyoo even superhero movies pon boleh ada ibrah [pengajaran] =D
