CNY

Assalamualaikum wbt.
All praises to Allah SWT and His Messenger.

Its already a week after Chinese New Year celebration, around a week after the exact day if I'm not mistaken. At this very moment, I am not alone. The non-stop rhythm of the fire crackers accompany me upon writing this entry :)

Chinese New Year, yes. It is among the yearly celebration that I enjoy. Even though I am not a Chinese nor have a Chinese family members, but they are my friends and neighbours. I remembered waking up to a very very loud drum and cymbals sounds several years back. It was from a lion dance at a neighbour's house. It was a great feeling. Woke up to the sound, peep through the window, then rush downstairs and towards the celebrating house. I can't remember brushing my teeth, but I do think I did brush them. So anyway, at that moment, it was the first LIVE lion dance that I have seen from near, in my life. It was fun as I actually experienced the moment. I also remembered watching another, also from several years back, at my hometown, and received sweets from the house owner. Yup, the sound was and is still is actually very very loud, but I enjoyed it. It is not everyday that you get to see how others celebrate their festive occasions. Its an experience.

Another thing about CNY is their sweet mandarin oranges. Of course, there are some that are sour, but I still eat them as I had the skin peeled off. I enjoy it because my father, well, not me :) but my father, often received FREE oranges from his close friends and colleagues. Its fun receiving them for free, usually a couple of boxes and sometimes in baskets too.hehee. My sister and I will usually eat them everyday during CNY. Eat them after lunch, in the evening, while watching tv, at night etc. The oranges is the main reason why I like CNY very much.Yup, I am sure about that.

Anyway, I hope its not too late to still wish all friends Xinnian kuaile! Gong xi fa cai! Another prosperous year ahead.

And btw, the previous semester's result are out. Its bad and I am sad upon receiving it. But whats the use of being sad and giving up. I hope its a turning point for myself. I hope it teaches me to work my b*** of for this coming future. Praying and praying. I should be thankful for not failing any subject, and by acknowledging that, I am thankful.very. Thank you Allah.

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.

Three more days...

Assalamulaikum wbt All praises to Allah SWT and His Messenger. Woke up this morning to a neck ache and self-made sickness , despite sleeping early, quite early for a person who have a lot of work to do and who should stay up and do more before sleeping, I am not proud of myself. *aduhai. It is the final week of lecture before study break for us here. It seems bearable but, I don't know, unbearable at times. Yesterday, before sleeping, I know I am able to face this, I know I am able to finish everything till the last. But, waking up today, I kind of having a different opinion about things. I woke up thinking of the past years question's presentation that we have to present later today. Thinking am I able to provide sufficient answers and elaboration and example,.................................and whether everything will be just fine as usual. Wondering where to start on Organizational Behavior's task too. Questionnaire first or characteristics. Then, remin...
