Life On The Outernet

Alhamdulillah. That is all I can say. :)

I am officially a semester 6 student today. Woohoo! It means, I have 4 months left, and then I'll be leaving college for good. :D Today was the registration day. I went to AS alone as my father was busy with his job. Pfft! Woke up as early as 8AM. Dad sent me to The Summit & I took a Rapid Penang to Butterworth. Boarded on a bus to AS at 9.30am. I slept the whole time & listening to 1D. I never thought I'm gonna say this but it felt pretty good to see my friends again. I kinda miss them, so it was good, it was good. :) The registration went well. Got my result slip and couldn't stop thinking "How the heck did they get a higher GPA than me when this was their first ever DL?" The answer is the thing I'll never know. I'm proud of them, tho. They were brilliant. :) I'll be starting my practical training on Monday. I just hope everything will turn out well for me & for all my friends. Insyaallah. :)

I have two different types news. Good news: I'll be doing my practical training here . It's quite near to my dad's office, so I won't have problems regarding transportation. I'll start on January 9th till April 27th. Four months. I'll survive. Bad news: My semester 5 exam results will only be out on December 30th, 9 freaking days from today. UGH! I WANT MY RESULTS NOW! Been looking forward to it since last week. Been checking the website since last week, and everytime I did, THIS appear..... And I don't know who's gonna send me to AS for registration on January 5th. Everyone in my house is busy! It  sucks when you have 3 cars but no driving license. ;____; And I shall be patient.

"What's over?" you asked. I said, "College days are overrrr...!" (Try to sing that in "Dog Days Are Over - Flo + The Machine style, lmao!) So... Yeah. It's true. My college life is officially over. I have finished my examinations. Semester 5 pun dah tamat. Aku pun sekarang dah balik rumah... So technically, I'm done with college. Although still ada 1 lagi sem, but hey. Itu practical training, no need to go to college dah. So now aku memang dah freeeeeee from college, yeehaaa! *happy face* xD Aku bukan benci college or anything, don't get me wrong. It's just that, I'm tired of studying. I need a rest. A rest yang longer than a semester break, know what I mean? My brain needs a rest. My brain dah worked hard enough dah sepanjang aku masuk college ni. Kalau tak, tak dapat la 3 DL. Lol no, aku tak sepatutnya riak. *kunci mulut* -.- In this entry, I would like to thank several, or maybe plenty of people who made my 2 1/2 years in college a l...

(Yesterday) "I delayed my trip back home just because of you, so you'd better be good, aite MPG (Malam Pra Graduan)? So, yeah! Tonight was the night. After entah berapa kali postponed, it finally happened. Malam Pra-Graduan 2011 yang julung-julung kalinya diadakan oleh KPTMAS (ayat dah sehabis skema dah ni. lol.) It was okay. Quite fun. I liked it. Just a bit bummed I didn't bring my camera along with me. :( Overall, it was a fun night. I felt lucky to be able to join things like this. :) The desserts were A+.

Just done with ETR II presentation. God, I feel so relieved now. I can finally feel the weigh being lifted on my shoulders.:D The exam's coming and to be honest, I don't feel worry at all. Maybe because I only have 3 papers to answer in the finals, and that makes me feel like... You know, malas. =__= But I REALLY wanna get a GPA4.00 for this very last semester (before we all went for industrial training in January). I'm hoping for the best..

HOW DO I COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY WITH OTHERS? 1. Be clear about what you want to express.  Often we spend more time speaking about superficial matters rather than addressing the core, significant and underlying concepts. To communicate effectively with another requires an inner clarity and a thorough communication with yourself. 2. Tact and good manners matter.  But don't let good manners inhibit you from speaking your truth. If your communication isn't honest, integrity is lost and relationships suffer. Tact matters as much as honesty. 3. Precision matters.  Expressing yourself fully involves choosing your words precisely. We're frequently sloppy in our communication and speak in vague terms. What suffers is that concepts and feelings don't come to life when we're not communicating clearly. Effective communication involves using precise language - words that accurately reflect and express our experience, perceptions, dreams, desires and disappointment...

WHY DO I FEEL NERVOUS IN FRONT OF THE PUBLIC & HOW DO I OVERCOME NERVOUSNESS? Everyone has a stage fright before delivering a speech. Stage fright is an anxiety over the prospect of giving a speech in front of an audience. Nervousness is normal. Everyone is nervous before a ‘play’. It is actually normal to be nervous at the start of a speech. Your body is producing extra adrenaline, and that is what makes us feel nervous. It also makes your heart race, hands shake, and knees knock and skin perspire. I feel nervous because I rarely stand in front of large group of people and deliver a speech. When I was younger, I dreamed to sing or ‘perform’ in front of other people, but due to my extreme nervousness, that dream was never achieved. I also feel nervous because I am afraid the audience will not like my speech or the way I deliver the speech. I am afraid the audience might think I am boring and they will not pay attention to me while I speak. The other reason why I feel ne...

Assalamualaikum and hello, everyone. My name is Syafiqa Durrani. Before I start delivering my speech, I would like to tell you a little story. When I was ten, my father bought me a novel. I liked that novel so much I could not stop reading it. That novel was Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. I am here not to talk about the novel, but to talk about the author who happens to be my idol as well. Joanne Rowling is a British author who writes under the name JK Rowling. She was born on July 31st, 1965 to Peter James Rowling and Anne Rowling. She has a younger sister named Dianne Rowling. When she was younger, she has always been interested in writing fantasy stories. During her childhood, she used to narrate stories to her younger sister. The first story she ever written was about a rabbit, which gets a disease and has different friends visiting it. You must be wondering where the name “JK Rowling” came from. Let me te ll you about it. Her first Harry Potter book was written under ...

College registration day. Everything went well. Good news is, I got 'it' again. For the third time. Alhamdulillah. I never thought I'm gonna get it again, but I did. Though my pointer slightly decreased from the last time, still... I feel so happy. :D I'm sure my parents would be damn proud of me. :') Thanks, Mak & Abah for the moral (& financial) support. Thanks, lecturers for all the knowledge, patience & cooperation. Thanks, Google for all the infos. (HAHA) Thanks, friends for the memories.. Thank you, ALLAH for everything... :) (PS: Happy birthday to Adil Ridzuan & Ilham Zainal. Ich liebe dich so sehr!)

Hari yang paling letih semester ini. Aku main futsal wohh! Jadi defender lagi tu, hahaha. I just had one thing on my mind masa main tu; aim for the ball. Ingat nak tackle kaki tapi ni futsal kan.. X leh nak main sliding je. Huhu. After SUAP, kaki aku sakit gila. It lasted for two days. T_T Orang jarang exercise camtu laah.. X leh nak complain lebih2. LOL. ;)

What will happen on "The Day" tomorrow?? It was nothing, really. Just an annual sports event organized by my college. It is called SUAP (Sukan Antara Program). We will be competing against students from different courses. I'm a Business student so I'll be wearing a yellow shirt. Yuck! I hate the colour yellow. :/ And I'll be playing either futsal or net ball. We'll see. ;) So, I did a little shopping today. Bought a new track bottom. Ate chocolate waffles at Tesco. Damn mahal! =.= Hurm, that was all. Kthxforreading. lol

Blogging is probably the last thing I should do right now. Less than 12 hours, I'll be facing the most challenging thing in my life; Macroeconomics final exam's paper. Pfft! Honestly, I hate this subject. I hate economics. :( I just hope I will pass this paper because I don't want to repeat the same subject in the next semester. Wish me luck. :S Friggin dislike this subject.. FYI, my mind, my heart & my soul are currently at home now. They're no longer here. Looking forward to spend more time with my buddies, Adil Ridzuan & Asfar Shamin, as well with my ex-schoolmates. ;)

13 MAY 2010 / THURSDAY This is the first time in months I wrote this blog entry in my so-called diary. :) I just went through this diary, read all my previous entries, re-discovered old secrets; I realized that I was so stupid back then. I fell in love with a wrong guy. Now I have found my ‘true love’, he doesn’t have a clue about it. How sad... :/ But there’s still hope for me, so no worries. :) In this entry, I will be telling you about my life’s journey since 25 th of April until now. Okay, on April 25 (Sunday), I took a sneak peak at his coursework for Mandarin subject. His coursework was not so good and that makes me worried. I do not want him to repeat the subject. I also dah hafal his ID number, he he... ;) On April 29, I received a compliment from him. It made me go pretty wild. xD He said that I’m ‘terer’ (it means “smart” in English) because I answered his riddle correctly. Haha! On the next day (April 30, Friday), I had a VERY nice dream. It involved my KPTM ‘boyfies’, ...

14 APRIL 2010 / WEDNESDAY I am Alone Again... I was hanging out at the library while writing this. I was all alone and I kind of liked it, but *yawn* I was sleepy. :p The Wi-Fi here suck dick! I wanted to go online! X( BTW, today was Wednesday. We didn’t have any class for today but we had a quiz on Accounting so we had to come to college. I stayed back because Pn. Norreha wanted to meet all the Business & Accounting students at 4.30PM. I didn’t want to go home because it will be hard for me to come back to college so I would rather feel sleepy than skipping the meeting which I think is important. Frankly speaking, I spent time at the library because I was waiting for you-know-who. ;) But until now, I didn’t see him. I wonder where he is. I prayed for him to come through the door. Fuhhh! LOL. ;p 15 APRIL 2010 / THURSDAY SUAP & My Lovely Ghost OK, it was sports day! Today was a good day, a very good day. I got to watch him play badminton! I must say he was p...

5 APRIL 2010 / MONDAY He Was Alone, All Alone and I Was There, All Alone, too. :) Class started at 10.40AM, but I went to college earlier because I wanted to go online for a while. Therefore, I hung out at the library alone. Minutes later, he came through the door. He was alone!! :D He saw me there and he chose to sit near me. We were 7 feet apart from each other. I was so happy and slightly freaking out. I was on my FB, lurking his profile even though he was right in front of my eyes. Haha! I didn’t even look at his face but I was looking at his hair. I think he cut his hair because I noticed that his hair was slightly different from yesterday. I had an urge to go and talk to him but I was too shy to do so. Screw me! :S I left the library at 10.40AM to attend Pengajian Islam’s class. Minutes later, he updated his status on FB. Guess he was online at the library. He was talking about having a test tonight and tomorrow. I commented on his status but I couldn’t receive his response...
