Hi guys...!!!

A lot had happened and it's really been awhile since my last update...I think next time I should organize my time a little bit more so that I can write more, right? You know, I even find hard time to spend for watching my favorite TV show that I download everyday because this show is not available in Malaysia's TV network which is As The World Turns.

I'm currently working on my CSS journal which the date line was yesterday. Hah! I've just started doing my journal at this hour, a little bit crazy huh? Well, I am crazy and that is why I think people around me got comfortable around me. Lately, people around me saying that they like to be around me because I'm Iz. They can't actually describe why they like to be around me so much, but they think that I am being adaptive to different people that I hang out with. I'll take this as a compliment and I feel really good about myself when people around me can accept me for who I am, though I am not 100% showing my craziness yet...!!!

Last 2 weeks ago during our mid sem break, I went to Azhann's home at Rawang. Staying there for 1 whole week was really nice. It is so nice till I can't describe them in words. One thing that had touched my heart is that Aunt Zehan (Azhann's mom) said that they are my family. I mean, we just met for the first time and I am treated like I'm one of them, the family. I don't know if I was giving bad or right impression because people tend to misunderstand me. But I think even if I was giving them a bad impression, they are accepting me for who I am.

When I was there, it was so much fun than my own home back at Sabah. I just don't understand why the real and biological family that I have can never be like the other family that I always see around me. I don't think anyone should blame me for not wanting to always hang out the problematic family that I have. That's why there are some people in my so called family doesn't like the principle that I am having right now which is I tend to prioritize friends than family.

Well, if you ask me who would want to hang out with family whereas they are so overprotective and annoying? And keep on telling you what you can or can't like you don't have a brain whereby you are already 18 years old? I am grateful that my parents are giving me the right that I supposedly own, but there are people in my family that is trying to overpower my parents position. Come on, even my parents don't tell me what I can or can't do because they trust me and I appreciate that, than who are you to tell me things that you think is right but I still have my own way of thinking what you want me to do is wrong...

Sorry for being a little bit emotional but I'm so depressed by "those" who think they have control over my life...

Ok guys, better get going...Lots of assignment not yet done...Due date tomorrow...Hahaha..

Chiao...!!!

Hi guys...!!!

Many things had happened throughout the whole week...It's been an exhausting week for me...Last week was pretty hectic and chaotic...Usually during the weekends I'm only gonna spend the whole weekend hanging out with my best bro Azhann...But then last week nobody went home because they were so busy trying to finish their Computer Literacy first assignment...

For our 1st assignment, we were assigned to create a product that is educational and useful...Product that doesn't mean it must be some kind of thing that can be used or stuff, but it's actually meant pick a topic and elaborate the hell out of it...Especially, things that people might not know or not really sure about...I think this assignment is actually meant for us to find something and present them so that people would have the knowledge out of it...

You guys must be wondering what the hell am I talking about right now right??? I don't even know why did I write about our past CL assignment..I think this is what happen when you are frickingly bored...I don't even know what am I crapping about...

Feel kinda sad yesterday because Idzni left TESL to pursue other offer...He doesn't wanna be an educator I guess and he got the offer to further study at Akademi Laut Malaysia a.k.a ALAM...Though it's hard to say goodbye, but I guess a man has to do what a man had to do, right??? It's what he wants for his future and I heard working for ALAM would guarantee you high salary...I'm not pretty sure about that but Idzni told us that is one of the reasons he chose to accept that offer...I think it's gonna be a waste if he didn't accept the offer right??? But I know, this is not the last time all of us gonna see Idzni...He's gonna hang out with us later, after 3 months of quarantine...Poor him...He doesn't even get the chance to celebrate Raya with his family...Can't feel the holidays, huh???

Speaking of which, I'm not going anywhere this coming Mid Sem Break next week starting from 25th July to 2nd August...Owh my God!!! Writing the dates just now made me realize that time goes by really fast...Hurm, guess I'm gonna be all alone throughout the whole Mid Sem Break...I'm hoping that we could get our scholarship allowance as soon as possible before our Mid Sem Break...But my instinct is strong that we will only get our allowance after the Mid Sem Break...

Owh yeah, last Thursday all the TESL ASASIans had a meeting with 5 of our senior...They are Dydy, Zac, Muhyi, Ira and Ainatul...So, they were talking about what is the function for the society and stuff...They talked about the do's and don'ts...Then we get to the juicy part...The appointment of the Board of Committee...Well, of course the first position to be grabbed by the ASASIans is the position of the President...Sis Ira was the one who in charged of the vote...So she said we're gonna vote our candidate not by raising hands as it is so cliche and old school instead she asked us to vote the candidate by 'shouting'...So, which candidate gets the loudest shout from the whole ASASIans will get the job...

So, when Sis Ira asked:"So, who do you want to be the President?" They were shouting my name...Then suddenly one of my classmates (didn't see who, but I think it was Bombay) stood up and said:"I hereby nominate Iz as the candidate of the President position." Next, Syaril stood up and said:"I hereby nominate Azhann as the candidate of the President position as well." Then there was a person asked to close the nomination...

So, there were we...Two best bros were competing to each other for the most important position...Not literally competing like two gladiators in the Colleseum...Besides, voting are based on the shouts that we're gonna get...I know at that moment, the thing that was racing through our mind (or at least mine) was the Popularity Quiz that we both answered in Facebook whereas I get 95% of popularity while Azhann got 92%...This is the moment of truth, this is the moment where we finally get to know if the quiz is true or false...

When Sis Ira called out my name, the shouts were all over the hall and it was long...Next, Sis Ira called out Azhann's name, the shouts was also loud...But it was not from the whole people in the hall though it was kinda long as well...From that moment onwards, I know I got the position that we both want...Me and Azhann shook each other's hands and gave each other half-hug at sides...Though he didn't get to be the President, but he got the position as the Vice President...Next, Eta was appointed as Vice President 2, Fayruz was appointed as Secretary and Alya was appointed as Treasurer...I am really looking forward to work with them...I have this dream of making our batch if ASASIans will be the best and the most fun ever...

Okay guys, I need to get back to my load of assignments...Besides, I need to use my boring weekend to finish my assignments...

Until then...Chiao...!!!

Hi guys...!!!

It's really been awhile since I posted the previous entry...I just got the time to sit down and write about things that happened few days back...This entry is not meant to humiliate someone or something, it's just that I want to tell the story behind Kolej Meranti...

Well, last week a huge thing had happened here in Kolej Meranti...I'm gonna make the whole story short but still understandable because I can't write as good as Azhann so if I write too long things might get boring and you will sleep in front of your PC...(^_^) So, I'm just gonna use writing technique that I have been using for my whole life which is straightforward writing...It's gonna be easier for you to understand...

Well, there is this guy, let's just call him as Larry (not the real name)...He is one of the TESLian guys...Just to make things short, everybody in Kolej Meranti have been keeping hard feeling towards his actions...Everybody got insulted by his words and actions but then we were just being patient with all of that because we actually wanted to avoid crisis, especially me as I don't like crisis to be happening around me...But you can say that this crisis happened because I told someone something..."(-_-)"

Basically, I was hanging out in my former room folding my clothes if I'm not mistaken...Larry was there out of the blue...He was asking me about the problem that we had with our scholarship allowance which is the faulty agreement which was caused by a stupid clerk who was helping Mr. Shah with our scholarship...Every TESLian is having a vengeance towards her now so she better be aware of everything around her...Well, basically I had settled everything for my class and Larry told me that he also settles the faulty agreement for his class...And then he asked me what is the status for the other 3 classes...I told him that Azhann, Yen and Bash still haven't settled the faulty agreement for their class...I actually understand why they didn't immediately settled the thing because being a Class Rep itself is a big responsibility plus with the personal things that they have to do...I was settling my class fast because my class had the most faulty agreement compared to other classes so I was thinking to complete them as soon as possible so that I won't be bothered by it later though I had to sacrifice my lunch hour at that moment...I don't know why, but Larry was so full of himself...He said something to me:"You have to keep this thing between the two of us...I don't think Bash is like that, but I really think that Azhann and Yen are IRRESPONSIBLE. This Class Rep thing is in their head." In order for me to drag him into the hole I have to pretend myself:"Hurm, they're starting to give orders to their classmates instead of helping Mr. Shah with the scholarship?" and he said:"Yes!" Then he said that he heard that there has been a hatelist created by the Meranti Guys which he heard from Aaron and Ameer...Well, frankly speaking these guys are really in the hatelist that we created...Larry said that if Aaron is hated because he's been hanging out with Sheril, and Ameer is hated because he's been hanging out with Diana, then Idzni should be hated b everybody because he's been hanging out with Syaza as well...But then I still pretend to Larry and told him that I have no idea about the hatelist whereas I was one of the board of director who has been creating this hatelist thingy...So, I wanna ask you guys...What will you do if the person that you dislike actually told you that your best friend is such an IRRESPONSIBLE person? To tell you the truth, I was considering myself whether I should tell my friends or not...I was thinking, if I tell them what Larry said about them earlier of course they will be furious and chaos will happen...On the other hand, if I don't I will somehow betray them and just let Larry continue with his bad attitude...I made up my mind and decide to tell them as I think Larry has gone too far this time and he should be taught a lesson out of this...

Later that night, I asked Azhann, Yen, Idzni, Megat, Syaril, Adam, Anas and Hakim to follow me to set up a conference...We were having dinner at Wawasan 2020 and then I told them everything that Larry said to me earlier that evening...They were furious and keep on saying that they wanted to beat Larry up for his bad attitude...At first I thought they weren't serious about that but then when we went back to Kolej Meranti, Azhann and Idzni confronted him...Idzni was starting to lose his patient when Larry kept on denying that he has been talking bad about Idzni and Syaza behind their back...Azhann asked Larry about what did he said about him to me earlier that evening...About the irresponsible thingy which was busted but then he still deny that he said that he didn't mean it directly...He was twisting his own word and finally he admit that he was wrong since the very 1st day he was here...I actually said that I was feeling sorry for him because we've been hating him but he still said that he enjoy being here and it changes his perspective on university life but then I said I didn't even know why did I felt sorry for him because he still talk bad about others behind their back...So, what is left to be sorry for??? Seriously speaking, I never see my friends were that furious before this because we've been together for more than a month now especially Azhann who I never thought would be that angry and furious...I was scared that the incident would turn out badly but then because of the humanity in us all we let Larry go and just hope he doesn't repeat the same mistakes he's been making since then...

We actually had a video for the whole incident that night but then so some security reason I'm not allowed to publish it so I can't do anything about it...But since I love my gentle readers so much, I made screencaps on the whole incident so that you guys can feel the heat...

So, that was what happened in Kolej Meranti few days back...I just hope that Larry will really learn from his mistakes and try to make amends on everything he had done before this...I just hope that something good will eventually come out of this...I already know something good had happen to me...LOL

Okay guys, I really need to sleep right now because I have been sleeping at 5 am in the morning for 1 weeks already and I am feeling really tired right now...See ya...!!!

Chiao...!!!

Hi guys...!!!

I just got back from Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah...I got admitted there on last Friday (19/06/09)...The reason I was admitted there in the first place was because the doctor in Pusat Kesihatan UiTM diagnosed me with dengue fever on the very same day...

I never thought that I will be ever been infected with this fever...I was starting to have fever on last Sunday (14/06/09)...My Goodness if you were me I don't think you can imagine how hot I was...I don't even have the energy to bring myself to the toilet...I started to think that I might be having dengue fever as aunt was once diagnosed with dengue fever as well and I have a little bit of knowledge what should I do right there and then...I asked my very kind and good friend, Azhann, to buy me a bottle of big 1oo Plus...The reason I told him to buy me that drink is because that drink is an isotonic drink and it can restore lost energy...If it was not for his kindness and humanity, I don't think I would be here by now because to be frank I was beginning to think that I could die in my sleep because I had never felt my body temperature could be that high for my entire life...He came back with a big bottle of 100 Plus...He told me that the drink was his treat because I didn't get the chance to grab my wallet to pay him back...I owe you my life, bro!!!

There goes Monday (15/06/09), I went to Pusat Kesihatan UiTM...They took my blood and got it tested...I was told to relax awhile in the sick bay...About half an hour later, I was told to go back to college and come again tomorrow...I was kinda puzzled because the doctor didn't say anything to me...He just gave me some meds to consume...

Then Tuesday(16/06/09), once again I went to Pusat Kesihatan UiTM to get my blood tested...Still nothing from the doctor, this time it was another doctor and she just add up my panadols and other meds to reduce my fever...She told me to come again on Friday if I still have the fever...

On Wednesday (17/06/09), I feel I got my energy back...So I decided to go attend my classes on that day...At first everything was okay, but then when the effect of the panadol that I took began to wear off I started feel sick again...I started to lose my energy as it came near to the afternoon...I had my lunch, took some more panadols and fell asleep in the INTEC Cafe...When I think that I have enough energy to walk, I stepped up and start to walk out of INTEC...The hot sunny day didn't helped that much in fact it burdened me more and more...I almost fainted a couple of times when I was on my way back to the college...When I arrived, I quickly took of my clothes and jumped into Hafiz's bed...My world was dark and I didn't know what happen next...All I know that when I woke up it was 8 pm...

On Thursday (18/06/09), I didn't go attend my class because I really don't have the energy to go there...Luckily, there was just 1 class on that day because the other classes was postponed...I was having bed rest all day long...At the end of the day, I felt really good and energetic...But another thing came up, my whole body except for my face, showed some rashes...And my skin became a little more sensetive...I know I have to go to see the doctor again the next morning...

On Friday (19/06/09), I went for my Malaysian Studies class and everything was okay...After I finished my class, me and Bombay went to Pusat Kesihatan UiTM...I showed the doctor the rashes that I had...Once again she told me to go to the lab and got my blood tested...Once the result was ready, the doctor broke the news to me:"You have dengue fever..." I wasn't that shock actually I mean I already see this coming with all those symptoms that I had before...The doctor wrote a letter for me because dengue fever is not the case that they can handle...It's actually a recommendation letter so that I can get myself treated at the nearest government hospital which is in Klang...I got myself admitted at 5 pm...

My hand

When I got myself admitted, the first thing they did was stick a needle onto the back of my hand...It was a little bit painful...I was brought to my bed, which was located in the ward G2...The doctor who was in charged with my case, Dr. Andrew, told me there is no cure for dengue except drink a lot, I mean A LOT of water...You really have to go to the toilet every half an hour due to too much water intake...My life in the hospital was kinda scary...People with dengue around me were kinda weak and powerless while I was really energetic...The doctor himself told me I was way too energetic for someone who happened to have dengue fever...Imagine, my blood were taken 4 times a day during the first and second day I was in there...Only starting from the third day that it was reduced to twice a day due to really great progress my body has made...The food was kinda too salty...It's like the cook was trying to kill the patients...I didn't eat a lot there because of it's bad taste and my sore throat which made me harder to swallow any solid food...

Earlier this morning, the doctor told me that I have showed really good progress and he told me that I will be released today...I was really happy...I missed my friends and there are lots of things that I need to catch up with...

Okay guys...I think that is all for now...I really need to finish my assignments that I had left since the day I wass admitted to the hospital...

Chiao...!!!

Hi guys...!!!

What is time management? People always think that managing time is not that important but there is a whole lot more than that. According to some information I found from the net, time management actually refers to a range of skills, tools, and techniques used to manage time when accomplishing specific tasks, projects and goals.

One of the ways to manage time is to create a master schedule. But do you think people will follow the master schedule accordingly? Do you think they will obey the master schedule 100%? Well, if you ask me I don’t think normal human being would follow the master schedule accordingly. Why? As we are normal human being of course we are bound by the laws and rules, but there is also a thing that we should not forget which normal human being is also has the tendency to go against the rules. Some people might think that rules are made to be broken. That is why we can see people are doing crime whatsoever.

It has been 3 weeks since I came to UiTM Malaysia, Shah Alam. I can see that some of the students are very bad at managing their time. It is not that I am saying that I am perfect, heck I am a human being as well but still people are bound to have their own opinion, right? I do not know about the TESLian girls, but I surely know what are the TESLian guys have been doing here at Kolej Meranti. I’m not saying that they are culture shock, but they really need to pull themselves together and focus on what actually they come here for. Seems like some of them have forgotten why they come here in the first place.

You can name few guys that usually go out after class and will just go back at the very last minute. I mean, do you really have to go out to town each and every day of your life? I know there are lots of temptations in this very urban city like Shah Alam, but I think you really have to adapt with the surroundings as quickly as possible. That is when your maturity comes in handy. Another thing that has been irritating most of us here is there are few guys that actually spending most of their time with TESLian girls. I mean it is okay if you are meeting those girls for group discussion whatsoever, but I do not think you need to figure out what actually happen. They actually spending time with those girls so that they can get at least one of them to be their future girlfriend. To make things worse, some of the guys actually already have a girlfriend back at their hometown. I do not know what are they trying to prove, but obviously it is a wrong thing to do. Maybe they wanted to show the other guys that they are hotter than the rest as they can get girls easily. I am not so sure about that.

When they go out and come back pretty late, they will have the problem to wake up early in the next morning. There were some cases that some guys actually came in late for their classes. Luckily they were just late for 5 minutes and the lecturer was not in the class at that moment. I am afraid that they will lose their focus and eventually flunk from this course. Honestly, I do not want that to happen to them as I consider them just like my real family, even so if I talk to them about their behavior of course they will not listen to me. As for me, I have not face the problem that the others are facing right now, yet.

I still have my focus on what must come first which this TESL course. I think we have to start to snap back to reality and recall what should come first. We should really manage our time so that we can do anything without anxiety. For example, if you wanted to make use of your leisure time make sure that you have set your leisure time is on weekends. To be safe, do not go out unless each and every assignment that has been assigned by your lecturer has been completed. Do not keep on delaying your work and procrastinate everything. That is why the psychologist keeps on telling us to create our own master schedule, but I think we still can survive everyday life without creating the master schedule. Just remember one simple rule; always keep the first thing first.

When there are lots of works you have to finish, always sit down and think for awhile. For the best result, prioritize them. For example, if you have assignments on College Writing and College Study Skills at the same time, there are a few things that you have to consider. Consider on the difficulties of the assignments and the due date for the submission of the assignments. In that way, you can finish every assignment with ease and stress-free.

As a result, you will not face any problem. You can finish your assignment and later have leisure time with your friends. As a human being, we deserve to have some fun so that we will not gone crazy. Just do not have too much fun as it will drag you to the world of fantasy. Of course you have to discipline yourself in order to cope with all the works that you need to finish on time. That way, you are going to have a better tomorrow.

Okay guys, I need to go...Not feeling so well...Maybe gonna catch a fever...

Chiao...!!!!
