"Baby, this is what you came for...
(Lightning strikes every time she moves)
And everybody's watching her
But she's looking at you, oh, oh...
You, oh, oh, you, oh, oh
You, oh, oh, you, oh, oh
(You, oh, oh, oh, oh)"

Back to school 2.0

before i proceed,

let me tell ya that, i didn't really go back to my own school which is SHAH pekan. 

ahh maaaaaan...

in fact, i went to my brother's school (SBPI Temerloh) to attend his awards ceremony. both of my parents couldn't make it since they have other responsibilities elsewhere so they asked me to represent them. i was quite reluctant at first sebab kena bangun awal. (the ceremony was on the first day of my midsemester break, so as usual, i plan to spend my day on my comfy bed) but as a supportive daughter and sister (ececehhh) i put aside my so-called plan and went to his school.

we(i went there with my mak cu) arrived there dalam pukul 9 lebih macam tu. just in time for the ceremony to start. upon entering the hall, we heard the dua being recited, i was searching for my brother in the crowd but little did i know, he was on the stage reciting the dua. ahahah. tu pun bukannya perasan pun at first. mak cu yang perasan suara familiar orang baca dua tu rupanya bila tengok kat stage ehh betullah, memang budak irsyad tu. hehe. boleh tahan jugak irsyad bila kat sekolah. smart berbaju biru pengawas, terserlah segala bakat ala pemimpin berkaliber gituhhh #proudsister ahahahah. terus tetibe teringat dekat crush zaman sekolah dulu-dulu. gahhh what even.... okay back to the main topic pleasee...

there are couple of performances in between the awards session. adalah student form 2 3 (maybe) perfom dikir barat and sketsa muzikal. ahhh man rindu gila tengok performance budak sekolah. back then, it was my friends performing on that stage.(i mean stage kat SHAH dulu lah) dikir barat what not, it was always enjoyable seeing my friends perform even kadang-kadang takdelah best pun persembahan. ahahah. tapi sebab support each other la kannn... and don't even get me started about 'semangat rumah' sampai bila-bila takkan habis cerita

waktu dalam dewan sementara nak tunggu majlis habis, i was having a major throwback session in my head while observing the surrounding. senior-junior relation, (i totally forgot the hostel slang for this so-called relationship) pergi makan kat dewan makan etc. being in a hostel is one of the best thing that ever happen to me. (walaupun dulu-dulu sibuk nak balik rumah).  i made lots of good friends. macam brothers and sisters. though sekarang i only manage to really keep in touch with like 5 of them je. biasalah, ada yang dah drift away with their own life.

okay now back to reality...

my bro Irsyad was awarded for his excellent achievement in last year's PT3 examination. with the effort that he made, i truly believe that he deserves the result and the award. well, bukan senang wo PT3 dengan soalan KBAT and what not. ahah

this is the only decent photo that i managed to snap

samping was senget but whatevs

last but not least, dah alang-alang kena dress decently for the ceremony ootd photo is a must laa kannn. lagi-lagi bila lighting apa semua nice...

scarf : the blooming duck white peonies

top : fv basics 

pants: seluar pandu puteri zaman sekolah (omg it still fits!)

shoes : pinjam kasut umi

When realization hits you

heyya,

i'm currently in week 8 of my semester which means that i have tons of assignments to be submitted and quizzes. this semester, i've been too carried away by numerous distractions thus resulting me not giving a single damn about my uttermost priority as a student which is my studies. i bet this is because things have been going so well for me for the past three semester that it made me think that maybe, maybe i didn't need to put much effort into my studies. for example, last semester i simply skipped three weeks of lectures just to travel to Spain and still managed to get a deans list award. (i'm not bragging). part of me thinks that this is one of the challenges God has given to me. and this kind of challenge scares the crap out of me cause it makes you lagha. yep, each and every person have to deal with their own issues and challenges.

lately, i'm trying my best to get my head in the game, kembali ke jalan yang benar but this does requires a lot of effort. i don't think that i can make drastic changes but let's just do it one step at a time. tho at my current state, maybe i need to quadruple my steps cause ada berapa minggu je lagi nak prepare for everything. ahahah tahu pun nak gelabah zafirah..! apa-apa pun, always remember that each and every effort made either big or small does count. never underestimate that dear self.

that is all,

i better get back to my studies

priorities... priorities

STS Annual Dinner

last saturday, i had the pleasure of attending sts annual dinner aka Malam Akademik jabatan pengajian sains dan teknologi. it was held at petak event space and organized by STS club. without further ado let's take a look at it...

last but not least, kudos to the organizing committee for a making this dinner an enjoyable and memorable night! fyi, us the second year students did a performance that night but i dare not share you the video. it was hilariously awful. ahahah

All too 'well'

And I know it's long gone,

And that magic's not here no more,

And I might be okay,

But I'm not fine at all.

suddenly, this particular lines form tswift all too well seems so relatable...

lately i am not in the mood to deal with things associated with my studies. from attending classes to doing my assignments etc. yep. i've been acting like this from the beginning of the semester up until now (week6=midsemester) entah fius apa yang problem. or maybe because i'm currently in my fourth semester. so time ni dia macam laghaa sikit. hahah. i only enjoy attending my ko-k classes which is gamelan. time gamelan aku memang enjoy tho kekadang aku selalu salah ketuk and out of tune. but hey at least class ni takde weekly assignment yang kena submit kat spectrum. class lain-lain i'm like nope. kalau dah bangun lambat sikit je memang terus tak pergi lah. back then i was in my first year, setakat lambat setengah jam pun aku gigh lagi nak pergi. sekarang?! memang terus sambung tido. lagi-lagi kalau kelas pukul 9. 

assignment pun memang confirm buat last minute though i've been planning to do it asap (mampu plan dalam kepala je) tindakannya takde. ahah. lepas tu mula lah tak dapat balik kampung during the weekends. oh ya, i forgot to mention about this habit of mine(balik kampung). fyi, i went back to my hometown almost every weekends in this semester. setakat ini baru ada dua weekend je kut tak balik. i don't care about other people judgement ke apa. wehh people, idk bout y'all but from my own experience duit lagi banyak habis if you spent your weekends at the college compared to when you go back to hometown. at least bila balik kampung baru habis about RM30. ini dah include duit tiket bas pergi balik plus tambang lrt  and teksi. the bright side is, you gotta spend your time with your family and have unlimited supply of food and wifi. siapa tak nak kann... kalau stay kat kolej mula lah gatal nak keluar jimba pastu buy unnecessary things. buat habis duit je

now there's two weeks left before midsemester kicks in and i seriously need to get a grip on myself cause there's two upcoming test and tons of assignments to be submitted.

may the odds be ever in my favour,

Spain Part 1 : We've arrived in Barcelona!

hola amigos!!

i did promise to write about my trip to spain last november-december, so here we go

it all started a couple months before the trip. i got a once in a lifetime offer from my tok teh to join her for a trip in spain. it was an offer that one could never ever refuse so of course i said yes. i would love to join. oh gosh,  i've been dreaming about travelling to Europe for ages since i got my first passport but money and time has always been the issue. i never taught that this dream of mine will ever happen. ahahah nama pun angan-angan kan?

before that, let me tell you briefly about our whole journey.

- days spent : 19 (26th november to 15th december)

- cities visited : 8 (barcelona-valencia-alicante-granda-cordoba-sevilla-merida-madrid)

- region visited : 5 ( Cataluna - valencia - andalusia- extramadura  - madrid)

- car journey : 2300km +/-

- hours on the road : 27 hours +/-

by looking at the map, it can be said that our journey  covers almost half of spain. amazing...

our journey kicks off in barcelona. soon after we've arrived at the airport, we rented a car and went exploring the catalan city. all of us(well, iolls in particular)were freaking excited to explore the city though we are quite tired from the long haul flight. the weather was amazing and all when we arrived there,

behold, amazingly huge sagrada familia, it's difficult for me to get a nice full shot of this building

lepas pusing pusing area dekat dengan sagrada familia, we decided to have lunch at a halal indian restaurant. the food was nice. boleh laa. 

lepas settle makan semua dah kenyang we checked in our hotel have a good rest. and by rest i mean 12 hours of sleep kut. bangun kejap, pastu sambung tido balik. ahahah jet lag la kata kan lepas 15 jam duduk dalam plane. we need to have enough rest cause on the very next day we'll be exploring Valencia. 

see you in next post!

Ridiculous last minute decision

i couldn't slept last night thinking about the foolish last minute decision that i made last night...

the story goes like this,

i've registered photography class in this semester for my co-curriculum, i always knew that i wanted to learn the techniques in taking photos. bought a camera for almost a year but never knew how to use and operate it accordingly. so this photog class enables me to explore my camera's capabilities. 

i don't know what has got into me last night, i purposely drop the class and registered for another class which i have zero interest in. and i regret it, like a gazillion times. #internalcrisis 

when i decided to change it back, the online registration has closed. *cries a river

after much thoughts and reconsideration, i decided to try my luck and change it back via manual process ( pergi office sket/skr and all that)

so that's about it. 

pray hard that i'm able to register the photog class peeps

*itu lah zafirah, elok-elok dah kau register, tetibe cari kerja baru pergi tukar semula
