Assalamualaikum...안녕하세요 여러분 . 오랜만이야!! { Hi everyone. It has been awhile!!}


Sorry I've not been updating for quite awhile. I'm in Semenanjung at the moment and my internet connection here is not as GREAT as my internet connection at home. owh well thats not the reason for me not being able to update this blog acctually haha..

I've been quite busy maintaining hangulexplorer.blogspot.com. (my other blog). eversince I started that blog, visitors have been coming thru like tab water lol. So I've been maintaining the updates for hangulexplorer in order to keep the visitors flow. why is this so important than your own blog you might ask?
well havent I tell you that blogging is where I get my side-income from.. so its like a part time job! ;) and since this blog is not open for Google search, I dont get much visitors here, and its another story for hagulexplorer... so there you go hehe :).. You get to learn one of my secrets! but owh well, I do get to learn hangul alot tho thru maintaining hangulexplorer!

but enough bout that.. thats not the main story today keke..

Did I tell you my convocation day was on 26th of Sept? well sory if I didnt.. ^^
I wasnt that excited about it really.. I didnt know why and I still dont know why.. but I was glad to be able to meet all my course mates again!
Before the whole session started, I was worried about my parents. They were like so many people there and it was hard to just even get into the DSI building with people everywhere..
People from the morning session + people for the afternoon session!!
In my heart I was like "Haiya! cant these people from the morning session just take pictures or swarm somewhere else in UTM other than around DSI!!"...
It was not easy for me to get my parents into DSI..my dad isnt in his best condition. he cant stand for a long time coz his right leg still not strong enough after his brain was attacked by a virus.. in fact his whole right part of his body still quite weak. so it an effort for him even to walk!. He had to use a cane to support his body. So after I registered for the graduation session with Epyt, I went back to get my parents. I brought them to the left side of DSI and thanks to the UTM guards who were guarding the entrance there, they let my parents in first before everyone else. I told my parents to just stay inside DSI after the whole session finish and that I will get them. I dont want them to get off the building shoulder-to-shoulder with the crowd.

I was excited to meet all my friends again there. All the graduates were to que before entering DSI according to our registered number. I was in between Ammar and Reza. and thank God Epyt, Nad, Safy and Rai were just infront of Reza, if not then I'd be the ony girl around a bunch of guys hoho.. we took lots of pics while waiting outside DSI. and now I cant remember we were taking those pics using whose camera???? whose camera was it??? I want the pictures!!..:). can u pls email the pics to me.. thank u.

We went into DSI using a back entry. I didnt even know that back hall entry exist before this lol. we all didnt know about this back entry so while going thru there we were like...
"laaaa... hari last bru tau!!!" haha

There were 2 faculties for the graduation session. Fakulti Alam Bina and Fakulti Elektrik. The whole session starts at 2pm and finished around 5.30pm. I was sitting next to Ammar in DSI and I think this is the 1st time we ever talk so much with each other..haha
We kept complaining about how the speeches from whom ever was speaking was taking too much time! LOL

We even took a picture together! haha. thanks to Mee Sing for that pic.

focus utama gambar ialah suffiah (epyt) and saffiyah. tapi aku n reza kacau daun.

I also get to catch up with Reza! Reza and I was together under Prof Harun Ismail's supervision for our FYP (Final year Project).
I also get to catch up with my BFFs (lol why does it seems weird for me to use that term..seems to girly!) Epyt, Nad, Ira, Safy, Rai...
I was abit disappointed tho! why? coz I didnt get to talk alot with Ham!!! my 1st and 2nd year roomate!. since her name starts with 'H' thus she sits at the front part of the bunch. And we both promise to take pictures after the whole session ends but again we didnt get to see each other after that!... That was probably my biggest disappointment that day huhu. hopefully we'll get to see each other again and just hang out!.. we didnt get to hang out alot during our final semester.

I still remember our first semester together in UTM!! I never said this out loud but I was glad that she was my roomate! When I first arrived in our room for the 1st sem (after registered), I met my 'roommate' Fiza from SEB. She was nice and we talk alot when we 1st met. After that I went down my dorm to meet my parents and then I got back up into my room again after an hour and I met Ham!! my new roommate!haha. It turns out Fiza had the wrong number for her room. so when I 1st entered the room, seing Ham just stand there next to Fiza's locker, I thought she was Fiza's friend just waiting for Fiza to come in. LOL
So when I 1st met Ham, I had the impression that.. " Okay, my new roommate isnt so much of a talker. Bummer!" lol but yeah 1st impression does not always right. Thru out our orientation week me and Ham, we were like Timon and Pumba (Hakuna Matata! The Lion King) just sticking with each other. its not becoz we didnt make friends with others, we did make lots of friends, its just that we were really a compatible roommate pair! haha. FYI our orientation week was so much fun! especially on the final day where we had inter-college sports day. One thing I dislike in the orientation week is some of the songs we sang with our facilitators.. dont get me wrong, I do like the chants we did and most of the songs we sang was fun but some were just too lame.. I mean like, who wants to sing "peel banana..peel peel banana...closed banana..closed closed banana"???!!!! what kind of song is that!!! and we even sang that next to the equestrian field EARLY IN THE MORNING!! while DOING SOME AEROBICS activities!!!!

anyway..

owh and Me and Ham, in our 1st sem, we had this night routine. You know when you were tired after some studying at night you just want to go out, breath the night breeze and just chill for 15 minutes.. well everytime at night around 10pm - 10.30pm we would go out just walk to our college kiosk.. the kiosk was like 2-3 minutes walk from our dorm but we would take our time and just enjoy walking at night. we would buy 2 cans of nescaffee mocha at the kiosk and enjoy the drink while walking back to our dorm. and sometimes we would stop at one of the small 'pondok' on our way back to our dorm just hang out there while drinking our mocha. The pakcik who owns the kiosk even remember us bcoz of that night routine we did. Me and Ham thinks we were the only ones who kept finishing all his nescaffe mocha and he had to refill again and again.lol Mind u back then that nescaffe mocha were only RM1.50... and now it cost like RM2.20!!!!...so much change after only 4 years!!!..

And we also had this other afternoon routine during our 1st year!! around 6pm-6.30pm we would go down to Astana HQ to buy our dinner and OUR NESLO!! well thanks to Ham, I 1st know Neslo bcoz of her! haha I never drank Neslo before this. Not becoz I dont like it but becoz I was too ignorant to know the EXISTENCE of it BIG LOL HERE!
If you were also a KTC residence then you would know that there were 2 people who usually makes neslo at Astana cafe. Abg Mawi and there is a little 'kid boy' who I didnt know his name (but I remember he wore a cap.everyday!) HIS NESLO WAS THE BEST!! even Ham admitted it!!haha..not too much sweet and just the right amount combination of nescaffe and milo.. we bought his neslo like EVERYDAY!.. especially Ham.

And there is funny story I want to tell here.. whenever i reminisce this, it never failed to tickle my funny-bone. Whenever we go to astana to buy our dinner, I would go order our meal and Ham would be the one ordering our drinks (apparently u have to go to each booth to write or tell ur order),
so I told ham I wanted "nescafe campur susu".
Ham said to me, "ade ke nescafe campur susu?".
and I replied to her, "abes klu xcampur nescafe jadi hitam la bukan coklet". (well if you think of it, nescafe powder is kindof black!)
So I guess Ham thought that made sense and went to order.
So when Ham got back to me, she was giggling and all, screaming to me, "ZARITH!!! mane ade 'nescafe campur susu'!!!"..
I was giggling too bcoz she was giggling like crazy.
I said, "abes tu?"
Ham replied, "nescafe je la!.. yang itam tu nescafe O!..abes abg to gelakkan Ham mase Ham order. Die cakap mane ade org panggil 'nescafe campur susu'. Org panggil tu nescafe je la"
and then we both just LAUGH OUT LOUD!
I'll remember this for the rest of my life.

Back to graduation story....
The day was fun and all... after the whole ceremony I didnt get to hangout and take pics much with my course mates since I was with my family the whole time.. just snapping pictures away.but I did get to meet my friends just before I leave UTM. we took a couple of pics and they gave me some presents! thank you epyt, nad, ira, zai, safy, rai, aja, liza and everyone.. sorry I didnt get everyone something in return. but THANK YOU FOR ALL THOSE 4 WONDERFUL YEARS WE HAD TOGETHER!!!.. you guys colored my bored day!!
Sorry that I didnt get to spent so much time with you guys on that last day.. But be sure we will meet again someday..and do keep in touch guys!

and owh I also get to take a pic with sunah!.. this girl has been my bestfriend eversince kindergarten! OUR PARENTS ARE FRIENDS AND OUR HOUSE IS EVEN 1 MINUTE AWAY FROM EACH OTHERS!! sorry sunah coz xdpt jumpa lamak ariya. and sik sempat brgambar family. trpaksa balit awal. bapak aku sik sihat gilak huhu.
