Hola, Republic of Ireland

Assalamualaikum and hi. So 31st Aug 2019 marked the day I left Malaysia for Ireland. It has always been a dream for me to be there, to study in my dream uni since the age of 12 years old. Back then, I only used to send my abang off when he studied in Germany. Seeing how nice to live abroad and how fantastic the idea of it made me dream of becoming a medical student in Ireland. I did plan this since the very young of me, at the age of 12, I have no particular career path yet, I just lived on and follow the path of my life to find that I set my heart for the medical field.

Throughout my high school days, I made it clear, to myself, to people around me that I'm going to pursue in this field. At first, I want it to be dentistry but our path didn't cross that I got to enrol in medicine instead. Back in high school, I planned my career path all too well, I need to score PT3 so that I got into science stream class, I need to get 9As for SPM so that I can get into the medical field as well as get the chance for a scholarship, I need to get into a preparatory college so that I can go abroad, and Alhamdulillah for everything. In short, the planning goes like this, science stream class > score SPM > get into Kolej Mara Banting > RCSI to pursue Dentistry; praise to Him I accomplished everything despite a bit different along with the planning; I didn't enrol in Kolej Mara Banting but Kolej Mara Seremban; I can't pursue in Dentistry but Medicine, still in RCSI.

If you ever ask me what I do for these? Yes, sure, everything is under His wills and everyone around you who wishes and makes du'a for you, I'm so sure with this, but from my point of view, the goals that you set from the very start of your journey will take you to a certain far. When you plan, you eventually know the things you're going to face, and this likely to get you to be ready for any challenge upholds upon you. And, most importantly, the blessings, from Him, your family, teachers and friends. Take good care of the flows of blessings in life. Everything will flow in a definite path.

Enough flashbacks for these. My last August was so busy, we had kenduri kesyukuran, graduation and fly off at the same week. I used to see my parents cried when they sent my abang away and this time, I witnessed my family, ibu, ayah, apit and amir cried to send me off. Well, how can you let go the most manja adik bongsu in the house go far, about ~11 000km away from home? Here are some pictures to send me off :) And thank you to my family members and friends who came (tho, indirectly for me as well hehe) - aishah, paan, tini and others. Thank you, Aishah for the cookies hehe <3

Among the others, Medicine students were the first one to fly away. Well, we arrived there 5 days early from our orientation but that was nice to go around Dublin, to get familiarise and settle down. I don't have proper pictures on our first day there but a post regarding Dublin will be here later hehe.

Thank you for making it here. Assalamualaikum.

Assalamualaikum and hi. As my kenduri kesyukuran arrived, it personally indicated that my time in Malaysia almost hits the end. I'm finally going to fly to Ireland for good. My kenduri, haha I wanted it to be super simple but ibu said, "adik, ibu ayah ni cikgu, ramai kawan, kena ajak, takpe la dalam 800 orang je" and I just let my mom planned for everything. Ainaa and her family came along with Fish. Mak Ainaa said dah macam kenduri kahwin haha meh, what shall I do, all are my mom planning tho hoho

I seriously don't really get involved with the planning; tempah makan, khemah-goodies-undangan-everything my mom did. Even I didn't invite my teachers myself cause my mom will handle it as well. Some of my teachers are new teachers that my mom barely knows so she just invited teachers that she get used to knowing only. Cause of that, my physics teacher was upset with me for not being invited as she saw a picture of me and one of the invited teacher on Facebook. huhu RIP myself. Up to this day I'm scared to visit my school for the fact that my physics teacher would still be upset with me hehe

I would sincerely thank everyone who came to my kenduri, kawan-kawan ayah and ibu, my teachers from primary school up to high school, neighbours and my childhood friends. Thanks for making up your time to be here though I barely can layan everyone enough huhu soz. And thank you to Ainaa and family and Fish for making it here despite the distance, sorry for making you guys came all the from Shah Alam huhu. And here, marked the official between Ainaa and Fish tau hahaha after kena paksa dengan Ainaa's mom and sister, kak Aliaa. And to Aiman and the gang, thank you for coming as well. Ipah would love it if Peta and Shiedan come along in any occasions in future as well hahaha.

Thank you for reading. Till we meet again hehe, Assalamualaikum.

Assalamualaikum and hi! It has been days since my last update. As you can see my previous blog posts or maybe the thumbnail of this post, you can clearly see the word of MARA; yup, i am one of Mara's scholar. And that was the main reason why i could not post more entries. But, usually i would spend a day to write more than 3 entries and will set them on different dates; that's why the gap between one's entry ain't that long.

Hectic week. Definitely. Totally. I bet whoever enrolled with a scholar would face the obstacles as same as mine. Obviously, they are the documents, agreements and endless of procedures! Need to get the guarantor's signature, need to get all the certificates been verified, need to go to LHDN, need to do the medical checkup (med check nowadays is so expensive! even the blood test cost me more than rm100 tho) and etcetera.

Being me as a not so organized person totally drives me nuts. Everything is messy. There are too many worksheets to be printed, too many words to read, too many forms to be filled, too many online registration's forms to be done and so on. And at last, it ended with two files. Full one. However, i still does not manage to finish them until now. I still need to go to LHDN, verifies some documents and write an essay.

Okay the big deal for me is writing an essay actually. It is an essay about myself, my study plans and career, sounds easy but it worth more than 4k characters and the fact that i am so lazy haunts me most of the time. Sigh, i still need to finish all of them before this Wed, 5th July.

One thing that i am so grateful is that we can upload our own pic for matrix card. My friends keep on nagging and complaining about their matrix card's pic; 'muka selebet betul' 'tudung senget benget' 'muka tak ready' but huhuhu i can upload it and edit it for sure hahahaha lol but wait, i still look like mak cik mak cik. True, but as long i do not look really terrible, it is fine.

Fyi, it is my first time entering such a place. I never enter any boarding school or be away from my parents for more than 3 days. What a new challenge for me. Homesick? Obviously, i would face it in a hard way. Let see if i could survive my two years there. Wish me luck! xoxo

Thanks for reading, Assalamualaikum.

Assalamualaikum and hi. At last, I have finally set my heart to KMS. After a few days of pain and headaches, I finally decided to pursue my studies in the Ib Diploma Programme. Regarding this entry, I was so confused to choose either pasum or kms, but after a few brainstorming with families, friends and pals, I am going to kms.

KMS. It is not Kolej Matrikulasi Selangor or Kills Myself; it is Kolej Mara Seremban. Well, it is normal to not know the existence of this college as the first time I heard about this college when I was in form three even though I am originally born in Negeri Sembilan. Thanks to hlovate, she/he introduced me about this college thru her/his novels.

Ib; stands for International Baccalaureate. It is a diploma programme for preparatory students. Before, it was mainly known as a platform for students who were keen to pursue their study abroad. However, for this year, they do not send any ib students abroad due to some controversies or should I say the current economy issues exactly lol. In Kms, ib is not the only course that will be offered, they offer a-level too. I guess, a-level is more familiar than ib but woot woot both are surprisingly same. The difference might due to the system as a-level is an exam-oriented while ib is a mixture of exams + core workloads. You can gain more information regarding ib in kms here.

Every time I searched something related to ib on the net; be it the twitter, Instagram, blog, or Wordpress; one word could perfectly describe ib is; susah. I must say that I am trembling of it and I get overwhelmed with thoughts, insecurity, anxious and so on. The only phrase that across my mind for each moment is; could I survive ib?

Quoting Janna, "You will drown in assignments or probably not, but no matter what people said, you wont die"

I hope so! Wish me luck guys!

Thanks for reading, Assalamualaikum.

Assalamualaikum and hi. Another entry from me. Menginjak ke pengakhiran bulan Mei dan permulaan bulan Jun, sudah pasti ramai lepasan SPM 2016 yang telah dapat tawaran-tawaran untuk memasuki Tingkatan 6, Matrikulasi, Politeknik, Diploma, Asasi or those program yang dimohon sewaktu temuduga. Like the others, alhamdulillah aku dapat beberapa tawaran but yes, in everyone's cases, dilemma nak sambung mana.

Before i continue my stories, tahniah diucapkan untuk rakan sekelas yang berjaya mendapat tawaran untuk menyambung pelajaran ke peringkat yang lebih tinggi; u guys are rock! we did it. Mostly my classmates dah pergi mendaftar since ramai dapat uitm and uitm the only one yang daftar awal I guess, except form 6 la. Sekarang ni memasing duk payung gambar orientasi said their orientation was great la, boring la, penat la kena bangun awal and etc. Its fun to see their happiness but how about me? I still here, in home, thinking, where i should future my studies huhuhu

As you can see, I got an offer for foundation, ahh let me list what kind of programs that I got as offers;
1. Kolej Matrikulasi Negeri Sembilan (Science)
2. University of Malaya (Foundation in Life Science)
3. Kolej Mara Seremban (International Baccalaureate in Science)

Okay, firstly i made a decision to turn down the Matrikulasi's offer and will go through either Pasum (UM's Foundation Centre) or KMS (The IB). I had serious problem on choosing which one i would pursue. Oh yes, last entry i've posted stated that I went to Mara's Scholarship interview, and alhamdulillah i got the scholarship (or should i call it as loan actually?) so that i ended up with the ib program. Fyi, the one who chose the program under Mara was my eldest brother. I let him since i knew he would know better.

After the upu's result coming out, i prayed hard to get Pasum and alhamdulillah i got it. My eldest bro was happy but he still said that he hoped that i will get Mara... um yeahhh... ib... But i excitedly print out the forms from UM's web, reading blogs about Pasum, asking seniors about their experiences in Pasum and everything in between. My life started to turn upside down when i got a message said i got Mara's Loan. I can say most of my family members agreed to send me to KMS but........ okay let me list the pros and cons of em first;

PASUM
Pros;

2 semester only which is end in a year

Aida is there (my close friend)

Its in the center of Malaysia (Kl la tu kan lol)

Cons;

The allowance comes from kpt which is not so many lol

The syllabus and subjects are hard

They said for our batch, it would be a new system

I need to score 4.0 if i want to pursue in dentistry for degree

Its in the center of capital (this could be both pro and con haha)

KMS
Pros;

I get sponsorhip from Mara (until i graduate, insyaAllah)

Ib's is certified internationally

Its in Seremban (so near with my house)

I get the experiences on how to do thesis and those that would be helpful for my degree years

Cons;

Mara doesnt send the ib's students to oversea anymore (ya la oversea tak penting, not the main reason but..... dont you get me? this is the main reason for me why i doubted to choose ib hahaha lol dont blame me pls), means that i will pursue in local universities only

4 semester which is end in 2 years (i would be a year late than my friends who took foundation)

Ib's subjects are freaking tough hard not-easy and all the adjectives go on.......

I need to score 37/45 points to pursue in the local unis

Its seremban (nahhh i live in negeri sembilan and i was raised here and the only place we went for having fun (the most frequent la) is Seremban, im stuck here again? hello?) lol

So, this is my thoughts. Its hard to make a choice. Like i've said, if i spent my two years studying IB which is hard like hell, and at the end just pursue in local unis..... if i choose Pasum, i can't guarantee i would excel there, got 4.0 flat and i dont know if i would get schorship anymore. I really need some times to think wisely. Guys, if you have some thoughts, opinions or anything to share or help me with my dilemma, please drop your comments below. I appreciate it a lot.

Thanks for reading. Assalamualaikum.

Assalamualaikum and hi. Sorry for the long kinda said as hiatus. I wont give an excuse related to busy sebab lepas habis spm ni sumpah menganggur dari bulan November tahun lepas sampai la hat ni dah nak masuk Jun 2017 lol. Sedang aku meneruskan pengangguranku ini, i was called to share an experience that i've been thru last 15th of April. As you can see, that is a screen cap of an information for Mara's Scholarship. Yes, i did applied for Mara since Jpa doesnt give me a little chance to get their scholarship. They only open for students who got 9A+ hahaha okay.

Long story to short, firstly, you're required to fill all the forms given by mara. Your personal, family and academic information. Then, if you're chosen, you will get a message from them to check out their website as shown at the pic upside. There're two things you need to do for their scholarship; Psychometric exam and the interview

Okay aku malas cakap omputih, aku terangkan untuk Ujian Psikometrik dulu. Ada banyak soalan akan diberikan dalam seratus kalau tak silap dan anda dikehendaki menjawab soalan-soalan berikut secara atas talian dan dalam tempoh satu jam. Soalan adalah variasi dan setiap orang ada soalan yang berbeza (if tak silap). Jika anda lebih masa dari satu jam, anda akan di log keluar tanpa sempat menghantar jawapan anda. Maaf.

Bagi sesi interview pula, kami diarahkan untuk memakai sport attires. Jangan salah sangka, tiada ukf (ujian kecergasan fizikal) dijalankan, cuma to give you guys more comfort, i guess. Bagi tahun 2017 punya interview, kami dipecahkan kepada 8 orang dalam 1 kumpulan. Its a random but the chances dapat sama sekolah tu tinggi if you guys know how to do it *inser emoticon senyum senget* lol. After pendaftaran, you guys akan dibawa ke bilik kuarantin untuk menunggu. Ahhhh, this time silalah turn on mood mesra alam, kenal-kenal dengan u guys punya group mate. My group mate mostly ada partner from their school which are from (Mrsm, Mrsm, Stf, Stf, Tkc, Tkc, Kisas and me lol) Okay if by name they're Zul, Haziq, Ain, Pyka, Jiji, Alia, Awatif and me again hahaha. After tunggu, you guys akan di briefing kan oleh penyelia bertugas kemudian bergerak ke stesen masing-masing.

Ada dua task yang kami akan buat. First task at the first room, ada kinda game. Group game. From eight, you're divided into 2 group. Kitorang kena buat kapal terbang dari kertas and terbangkan. Sounds easy but you guys kena bincang in group to create the paper aeroplane in english. Talk la bout the aerodynamic or smh. Every group ada task berbeza. For us, just buat kapal terbang ye. Then after that, pihak penemu duga akan bagi one question and all of you must answer it. Semua kena jawab bagi opinion masing-masing. Soalan might be in malay but you guys need to answer in english. Thats all for task one.

The second task in the second room, hahaha this one is funny. Its kinda like super spontan pun ada tau. Korang akan dapat one study case and you're given your own role. Discuss about the study case in your group in english and at the same time, plays your role as well. After this, kitorang duduk and need to choose number from 1 until 21. Choose a random number for random question. This time, the question are more likely based on you. If bla bla bla what will you do and bla bla bla. Just babbling all around yeah?

After these two tasked, you're done. But no for those who choose to pursue in KMB/KMS. yeah including me. After the interview session, we need to take a test. I dont know how to describe the test, kinda like english maths punya test la. Jawab in an hour also. Lepas habis jawab, submit your paper, then boleh balik. I went there at 2:00 pm and got home at 6:00 pm. The interview sessions were in a short period but the waiting was the killer btw.

One thing for sure, dalam apa-apa interview pun, make sure bagi your team ruang bercakap. Tolong kawan. If kawan diam ke, tanya pendapat dia, jangan lobi sorang. Plus tak semestinya diorang power english, help them. Jangan tamak.

I'm so grateful that my group mates were so tolerated but not for certain person HAHAHA okay, that;s all from me. Thanks for reading. Assalamualaikum

Assalamualaikum and hi. Maaf dah lama tak update, bukan sebab tiada idea ataupun tiada liputan internet. Sesungguhnya kemalasan itu punca utama. Okay lol. Ehem ehem, as a spm leaver, of course kebanyakan akan go on pergi mula ambil lesen tak kira la kereta or motorsikal or kedua-duanya, so let's hear my story hehehehehe

Aku ni jenis yang memang tak pernah kisah or peduli dengan kenderaan sangat. Hence, aku memang tak pernah terjebak bawak motorsikal ataupun kereta sebelum cukup umur untuk lesen ataupun mana-mana yang berkaitan. Bahkan bawak basikal pun aku failed kot! Hahahahahaha okay gelak sikit je. Actually, aku boleh kata aku trauma sikit la kot sebab dulu time sek rendah bawak basikal petang-petang best je tapi well malang tak berbau, aku jatuh tersembam muka dekat jalan tar and gigi depan memang habis sumbing sampai kena treatment doktor; rawatan akar-tembak guna mende tah-siap aci bakar alat kat api-lol and so on sebab bawah gigi berlubang. Tak cukup jatuh cemtu, jatuh pulak dalam longkang besar tepi rumah dalam 2 kali then akhirnya aku stop naik basikal sampai la harini.

Dengan pencapaian aku yang agak cemerlang dalam bawak basikal ni, so aku decide tak bawak basikal juga walaupun ayah aku banyak kali suruh. Dan akhirnya, dengan umur 17 ke 18 tahun ni, kenalah aku try bawak kenderaan iaitu kereta. Tapi disebabkan study years sepanjang form 4 hingga form 5 (acah je ni), so aku tak try la belajar bawak kereta and i ended up coming to the driving school with an empty knowledge. Well aku pergi sana dengan kawan aku, Aida. Kitorang memang sama sekolah since sek rendah until lower form sebab dia decide nak masuk boarding sch; mrsm tgb. Since Aida and I dalam driving sch yang sama, memang aku awal-awal kata kat akak tu ; Saya nak semua kelas memandu, ceramah and so on sama dengan Aida ye kak.

After daftar, kitorang pun pergi la ceramah 6 jam dekat Kuala Pilah. At first aku memang sumpah agak mengantuk la sebab aku tidur lambat malam tu so neuron-neuron otak aku tak berapa nak fungsi dengan baik that morning. Yet Aida smile while laughing excitedly at me saying; Waaa bestnyaaa dah lama aku tak rasa belajar cemni. And i was like, ......................... okay babe. Then kitorang pun dapat la buku gedabak tu untuk baca untuk test. Disebabkan kitorang ni dikira antara yang lambat daftar compares dengan kawan lain, so aku pun tanya la kawan lain yang lulus test komputer ni. And dia kata dia lulus dapat 66/70 and ada yang lain dapat 46/50 and so on. Dorang siap kata ramai yang failed lagi test tu. And aku macam; ramai failed? repeat? bayar lagi? duittttt tuuuuuuuuu. So seorang paranoid macam aku ni mula la baca dan belajar buku tu.

I did it like i studied for my biology and history duh. I read and jotted down every important points lagi. Gambar di atas adalah sebahagian usaha keras aku hahahahaha pardon my handwriting lol. Perasaan malas dengan dicampurkan keghairahan nak tengok cerita korea menyebabkan aku and Aida mintak akak tu tempoh seminggu nak baca buku walhal baca sehari sebelum test. Everyone like this, right? Dan aku pun habiskan 1 chapter depan buku tu dalam tempoh 3 jam sehari sebelum test dan diikuti latihan menggila more than 10 times dekat jpjkpptest.com. First time jawab test tu lulus 42 aku macam; pergh tak baca pun lulus ni dan the next tests, i got failed two times hahaha tu la riak nak mampos. And at the real day of test ;

Alhamdulillah, aku dapat full marks; 100% betul. Aida pula dapat 47/50. Wuhuuu nasiblah tiada ulangan dan seumpama dengannya. Kitorang pun baru je habis sesi cap jari-duduk melangok-bosan bak hang selama 5 jam setengah tu. Lepas ni dah boleh try belajar bawak kereta, oh yeahhhh we gonna rock it! Tapi ramai kawan gagal weh test dengan jpj haishhh buat seram je. Dah lah sekarang ni pricing untuk gagal pun mahal gila hmmm harap-harap la both Aida and me could pass with first try. Doakan kami lulus ye and our test could be on the end of this April. Wish us luck! If you guys ada any tips please write yours below. I would love to read it!

P/s: Aku private blog before sebab ingatkan nak renovate blog tukar baharu semua but yeah, malas gila punya pasal, lupakan je la hahahahaha okay bye, Assalamualaikum.
