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,

byee

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

Of cakes and (unreliable?!) app

yesterday before sending me off to college for good, we (as in me and my mak cu) decided to do a little detour. we wanted to go to a particular cake cafe located in section 9 shah alam. i bet most of you have already went or perhaps heard about cake jalan tiung cafe? fyi, that's the place that we're heading to yesterday. the story goes like this...

lepas je settle beli barang-barang balik hostel kat midvalley, we head off to shah alam. honestly saying, UM- shah alam takdelah jauh mana pun. kalau jalan clear takde jammed apa semua dalam 15/20 minit dah boleh sampai. tapi alkisahnya semalam, cehh konon-konon nak try guna this one app(here maps) habis pusing satu KL dia bawak. ahahahah. yang paling kelakar bila apps tu dah mula suruh u-turn waktu kat federal highway though kitaorang memang dah mengahala ke shah alam. time tu dah start rasa fishy dengan this app. tapi apakan daya, aku ni memang noob gila jalan kat KL. so mcm ooo maybe ada jalan shortcut kut. even my mak cu yang tahu jalan pun macam"okay kita try follow je apps ni". ni maybe because she's quite excited to use this app for the very first time(ye ke tak mak cu? correct me if i'm wrong eh) so last-last, sebab ikut apps la kan, we ended up kat somewhere in bukit petaling kat area rumah orang. tapi waktu tu positif lagi lah sebab ingatkan, ooo maybe dia ada branch kat sini kut. both of us were like "haaa mana kedainya?! ahahaha" . at that time we already realised this is a total crap. memang bukan kat sini lah!! asal la sengal sangat nak follow apps yang sesat dan menyesatkan niii. padahal both of us tahu la sikit nak pergi seksyen 9 shah alam. bila nak patah balik semula dah entah ke mana pergi, last-last pusing KL. kahakahkah 

waktu tu dah dekat pukul 5 petang kut. i was like, takpelah balik UM  je la terus. kalau tak dapat pergi harini. next time kan ada... though sebenarnya dalam hati ada sedikit keciwa. kahkah. but. mak cu was so optimistic. she convinced me that we can still make it despite the time is quite late.(takde lah lambat mana, tapi sebab nak kena drive balik chenor semula, so dia taknak lah balik lewat sangat) lepas sejam pusing-pusing melencong jauh dari jalan yang benar, we managed to get there  by using our own common sense and guided by the signboards (bak kata kata my lil bro irfan, cari jalan guna otak, bukan guna gadgets. hahah)

haa kau, dia punya feeling bila dah sampai memang rasa heck yeah!!! sampai pun!! setelah sesat dan disesatkan oleh apps yang entah pape tu. tbh, i've used the apps on several ocassions tapi sebelum ni elok je dia tunjuk jalan. tetibe semalam jadi karut gila. pfffffffffft dan dan je. bila dah masuk cafe apa semua terus hilang jap idea nak pilih cake yang mana cause our brain cannot comprehend what has happened. lawak pun ada, frust dengan diri sendiri pun ada because benda senang pun jadi complicated sebab nak depend on apps. pfffft. nonetheless, we still managed to achieve our main objective which is this...

tadaaaa . . .

yep, benda/cake mainstream bila pergi kat CJT. ahahahah. felt damn satisfied sebab lepas gak nak merasa even dah melencong jauh before sampai kat sini.

the verdict:

1)the salted caramel chocolate cake was nice. salted caramel dia sedap la gak, lemak masin gituhh. tapi chocolate cake dia biasa-biasa je kut. maybe because i'm not really a fan of chocolate cake.

2)the pavlova was also very nice. creme dia pun best. light je. not to muak or not to sweet.

3)idk why aku gatal nak order affogato. padahal takde la suka sangat coffee-based dessert. takat minum cafe con leche sekali sekala tu boleh la. puas ah gak nak habiskan affogato sebab bagi aku pahit gila. last last mampu habiskan ice cream dia je. ahahah

le morale of the story,
in a world filled with tons of savvy gadgets, we as humans must not solely depend on these things. i'm not saying that depending on gadget is a negative thing but sometimes instead of using these gadgets let's go back to basic and use our own capabilities to complete our task. christopher columbus dulu boleh je sampai america without using waze. hahah, jauh sangat dah melencong.

so that is it.

byeee!!

Updates on new semester

hello there!

new semester starts today. yeay or nahh??

idk man. dari semalam lagi rasa takde mood nak hadap all the stuffs, lectures dan yang seangkatan dengannya. my schedule for this semester has been not so okay kut sebab kena daftar subjek yang hari exam dia back to back, and satu hari ada dua paper. i've been doing that since last semester and i effing hate it. takde masa nak rest jap before focussing on the next paper. itu dah satu hal. 

yang paling win, pencil case pun aku dah lupa letak kat mana. at first i thought that i left it at my college cause i can't seem to find it back home. bila cari semula, tak jumpa, kahkah. nampak sangat habis final haritu aku dah tak peduli dengan all things related to my studies. dia macam, since my finals is over, i'm fucking done with this crap. lols. pastu bila start sem baru semula mulahlah meraba-raba cari semula pencil case. 

another thing is about the forever delayed post about several trips that i made earlier. well am still working on it. entah bila lah boleh siap. asyik masuk draft je. ahahah. 

sooo that's it

adios
