Thursday, April 26, 2012
I have blogged about my OSEP-to-Korea journey when I was there in my other blog but if you have not read or want to know more, you may want to read this awesome detailed post with pictures written by my friend who went Korea with me; Yvonne.
OSEP has been the best experience while I was studying in NYP.
It taught me A L O T of things.
I really really miss Korea and the people there so so much <3 Thank you.

ok here's to the people who wished me luck and made doa for me for my interview/exam yesterday.
THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH!
I truly am very very touched.
May GOD/ALLAH bless all of you! <3
And I am extra touched when my babe agreed to accompany me. and ghaz for accompanying! haha!
Picture taken right after the interview/exam. Happy yknow it's over! :)) Now I have to wait patiently for the results. Kalau dapat, Alhamdullilah rezeki.. if sebaliknya (nauzubillah), Plan B bebeh! ;)) ps: Pictures credit to zakya's instagram pps: despite the time zone YOU still.... terharuuuuuuu ;') SMU entrance exam and interview.
Chop chop.
I think I have to update now or I will be lazy to do so later.
Ok, if you are following me on twitter, you knew that I had attended SMU entrance exam and interview just now; 21 April 2012. (Must thank my babe who made it known. Haha!)
Anyhoot. This was what happened. Hope the info helps the future shortlisted candidates. ;)
Entrance Exam:
The comprehension titled "The certainty of doubt" was a challenge!! 5 questions altogether. The title seemed easy but the passage was about law(??) and roman times (bleargh!) However, Alhamdullilah, the composition was much easier. We had to choose one of the 2 options given. I chose the topic on admission exam. I couldn't really remember the question but it was something like.. "What is the most suitable essay question for university admission exam? Explain in details the question suitability and how the essay should be evaluated." The other option was about whether it is fair to say/judge that a person is wise based on their financial and political views. We had to write 300 to 400 words.
Interview:
We were asked to go to a quarantine room. They actually separate us to groups of A to D and we had to seat with our group. (hint hint: this part you can actually choose to be with your friend/s. There are about 8 people in a group. So during the registration, make sure that you queue with you buddy. Highly likely you will be in the same group with your friend/s) I was in group A and all my group members were from JC! Haha! Okayy so in the room, we had to read an article about American university students and brainstorm questions that the interviewers(2 SMU professors) might ask. So basically the interview was merely about the article. They asked our opinions, experiences, etc. It lasted for 25-30minutes. According to the professors, that is how the class will be conducted in SMU. It is not a one way communication but 2. All the students MUST participate. So now I understand why they die die need to interview all the candidates because they personally want to evaluate whether we are able to cope with that kind of study environment.
The exam and the interview lasted for about 4 hours (including the waiting time)
Okie dokie.
I am just hoping for the best.
Lets continue to pray for each other aye :)

Friday, April 20, 2012 As much as I want something to happen, I am aware that not everything I wish will come true. I know I am not suppose to give up as this is just the beginning. Not even half the battle. I shall take it as a challenge then. Expectation lowered. Do my best and tawakkal. Doa itu senjata orang beriman.
"Doa itu senjata orang beriman. Doa yg segera di makbulkan tanda Allah sayang kepada kita. Doa yg lambat di makbulkan tanda Allah uji kesabaran. Doa yg tak makbul tanda Allah nak beri yg lebih baik daripada yg di pohon. Jgn sesekali sangka buruk kepada Allah. Pesan ulama': Jika doa dgn khusyu', yakin Allah akan kabulkan hingga meremang bulu roma, InsyaAllah doa makbul. Tapi doa wajib di sertakan usha yg terbaik, niat yg murni, taqwa & tawakkal. Lepas tu barulah kita berserah
kepada Qada & Qadar Allah. Nabi SAW amat marah
kepada org yg berserah
kepada qada' & qadar tanpa usha yg sungguh2. Allah juga benci
kepada hambaNya yg kurang berdoa! Justeru, bykkan doa utk diri, keluarga, jiran, kwn2, negara & ummat sejagat." -Dr Fadzilah Kamsah
Doa. dan. usaha. InsyaAllah. and the end of the day, ALLAH knows best. Labels: self reminder So now..... what?

"You should learn from you past experiences syad. Kadang2 kite terlupe penerimaan orang tak sama. Sangka kite/dia cuma kawan, tapi dia/kita sebaliknya. Bila mesra, difikir sayang. Bila diberi perhatian, diingat berkongsi impian......"
Allah. I am forever clueless when it comes to this.
Seperti cinta Fatimah dan Ali.

"Bila belum sedia melangkah lebih jauh dengan seseorang, cukup cintai ia dalam diam ...
Kerana diammu adalah salah satu bukti cintamu padanya ... kau ingin memuliakan dia, dengan tidak mengajaknya menjalin hubungan yang terlarang, kau tak mau merusak kesucian dan penjagaan hatinya.. Kerana diammu memuliakan kesucian diri dan hatimu.. menghindarkan dirimu dari hal-hal yang akan merusak izzah dan iffahmu .. Kerana diammu bukti kesetiaanmu padanya .. kerana mungkin saja orang yang kau cinta adalah juga orang yang telah ALLAH swt. pilihkan untukmu ... Ingatkah kalian tentang kisah Fatimah dan ALi ? yang keduanya saling memendam apa yang mereka rasakan ... tapi pada akhirnya mereka dipertemukan dalam ikatan suci nan indah..."

Whatever happened yesterday, Allah.
I was in fear but I knew I just have to do it.
I will do anything it takes to protect my family.
I am sorry but I am THAT protective when it comes to my love ones.
When you had to involve with "adults matters" it is definitely not fun but for sure, experience gained.
Such an eye opener. i love you so so much nenek <3
On a different note,
True to what A said "Orang tak akan pernah berhenti menilai."
I should be extremely extra careful next time.
Don't blame me the next time I don't share anything with you.
Don't come to me and tell me I am secretive or whatsoever.
With all that happened, you think you deserve to know?
You judged and then you misjudged.
Things like this make me feels that it is best to keep e v e r y t h i n g "underground"
Woa.I.am.totally.done.with.all.these.things.
Alhamdullilah today is a breather.
It is so different to talk with someone "yang da makan lebih asam garam daripada kita."
Allah Allah. Thank you for the advice and the soothing words.
Much needed. :)
Syukur Alhamdullilah.

My parents reactions were priceless when i broke the news to them :')
For all I know, selagi diri masih menjadi hak mereka, I live my life to please no one but them.
Alhamdullilah, am very happy to see the smiles on their face.
"Ma ridhallahu illa fi ridha-il-walidaini"
Thank you Allah for the unexpected "gift"
Syukur. :) Jayb
