Stress*

—

Assalamualaikum.
All praises to Allah. and peace be upon His messenger.

Yesterday was crazy. Super-duper crazy.

Let see, the night before, my CTU  mates and I were finishing our essay and slides for presentation tomorrow. I know, bad impression huh? We are those people who procrastinate, well for sure I am. For the time being, or all the time, I am working very hard to get rid of the word and the behavior, but believe me, it is hard. And so, we stayed up and finished. In the morning, we had a talk with an outside speaker, Mr T. He gave us a case study to study on, and yes, I did not spend much time reading and understanding the case study, bad me, bad me..

Later, the second class, we had a test. Yes, how ‘overwhelming’. Thank God the person next to me brought dictionaries to assist us, yet, the test was still a little difficult.

Then, it was lunch, around 1 1/2 hour break. The break was the time my CTU mates and I spent on out slides and what not. Everything went too fast and suddenly it was CTU class.

We were printing the papers and there were errors here and there. We print some more and the sequence of the essay was not sync #$%^&*()(*%. Aduhai adindaku -,-….. What a challenge. The situation was quite tight at that moment, but we ignored the tension, what good can an argument do right? So, the Ustaz came then start his lecture. Guess what, his seemed happy than usual on that day. We were all laughing and he were sharing his additional info with us at the same time make some jokes. And before he could finished his lecture, the class ended. ANDDDDDDD you know what, we did not present. All the fuss and we do not have to present???

لا يكلف الله نفسا إلا وسعها

Allah tidak memberi kesusahan seseorang hamba melainkan apa yang terdaya olehnya. [Al-Baqarah: 286]
As a Muslim, not just for Muslims, as human beings, remind one self on the above verse. Allah SWT gives everything for a reason. All the hardship, the sadness, the fuss, comes WITH happiness, this source is one that I learn recently from Yasmin Mogahed :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvLyHJY79_8&feature=related

Well, I don’t mean that the happiness here is that we don’t have to present our work as it is a burden to wait for another week to finish a presentation and still need to think about it. There are many ways to look into as everybody has their own connotation on happiness. So, YOU think about it yourself, if you were in such situation, what is ‘the happiness’ to you? As for me, I believe I have found my own meaning of happiness.

English for Professional Communication

Assalamualaikum wbt All praises to Allah SWT and His Messenger Greetings readers! As stated above, in this entry I would like to share about the course that I am taking at present. It is a course from the Academy of Language Studies at Universiti Teknologi Mara(UiTM). It is very rare to find people that know about this course. Dialogue 1 A: Eh, what are you studying now? Me: English for Prof Comm A: ...........??? So, what is that actually? Dialogue 2 A: Anyway, what are you taking now? Me: Language studies A: Oh.. TESL eh. Me: ....................... or very very very rare, Dialogue 3 A: What course did you take? Me: English for Prof Comm A: Ohh..ok. As you see, this course is not as popular as others like law, engineering, medicine, dental, education and others, which everyone knows of. But, it is a fun and interesting course to learn. Believe me. And if you are really good in English, which I am still working on t...

Sleepless night to remember

Assalamulaikum wbt All praises to Allah SWT and His Messenger Hello. Upon writing this post, I am at a state where I can no longer open my eyes to continue doing my work. My friends and I are at Level 9 Menara at this late hour, yup (for those who know the history.........hahahaa.....). It's kind of our lepak place for wifi, for just us. Alhamdulillah. Our journey are coming to its end. So far, we are done with two of our professional presentations. It was a nerve-wrecking and sleepless experience on preparing the text and searching for information and practice and what not for the presentation. Nevertheless, I enjoy every last moment of it. Even now, it is just so difficult to finish up my thesis and do the amendments needed, I choose not to fret and just keep on continuing these difficult times as I believe I will be reminiscing these times later in the future. InsyaAllah, everything will end this Monday. My prayers to all of us, myself and my friends, that we...

Prom Night

Assalamualaikum wbt All praises to Allah SWT and His Messenger And so, our konon2 Prom Night was a fun night. We actually called it Pre-Graduation Dinner plus also combining the dinner with the Dean's Award recipients.  It sounds funny when you called it Prom Night. For me when it is called as such, it sounds Americanish , wild and western .hahaa. But it is also suitable to be called as such to show it was a celebrated night and because the theme for that night was Tie, Suit and Dresses , I know, nice wasn't it. And the dinner, it was not the place or the food that we would fret about or be bossy about later on, its the people and the friends and the pictures that we will talk about again and again, it will be the memory that we will probably recall in the future, the almost last moment of a student life.hahaa. And guess what, just after the dinner, we the gals went and lepak for a while for a short kopi session just to end the night nicely. Wahh, a night to rem...
