An Evening to Remember

It has been a long time since my first write up about my campus life.. The recent fasting month - Sept 11th 2009 - we have organized a get together 'buka puasa' and here are some of the captures I'd like to share with you readers..







Though not all of them attended the gathering but it turned out to be an interesting evening - especially the appearance of Batrisya a.k.a Tisya (Raphy Radzi's daughter).

Some of them have suggested that to make this gathering a yearly event which I totally agreed..

Till we meet again next year my friends...

A Walk of Life

Today, while having my dinner, I saw an old couple walking pass by - holding hands. I hardly see Malaysian at that age having this attitude - holding hands, and I really admire couples who still holding each other hands especially old couples.

It suddenly struck into my mind...will I experience that situation? How I wish I could but considering where I am now, I doubt I can go through that sweet experience...

Hmm...only God knows what my destiny would be...

T E M A N

HAR..a special friend that I have known for more than three years. I enjoy every conversation we had. We are frequently communicate lately and am comfortable talking to Har..I can share almost everything with Har.

One thing for sure, I know I can always count on Har and Har indeed..my shoulder to cry on..Thanks Har for being there whenever I need someone to talk to..

Har had dedicated the following song to me.. Have listened and keep on listening to it, but still could not figure out what exactly the message Har tries to convey to me..I wish I could read Har's mind..

Whatever it is, i enjoy listening to this song..Thank you Har..

Sejak mula pertemuan itu
Hati melonjak terkenangkanmu
Tiap detik ku mengharapkan
Panggilan rindu mu sayang

Apa kau rasa yang ku rasakan
Mungkin ini satu permulaan
Biarlah mawar terus bersemi
Mekar harum mewangi

Tak ku menduga
Cinta yang ku cari selama ini
Dikaburi wajah-wajah yang tiada ertinya sayang
Hadir di sisi
Tanpa harap belas dan perhatian
Namun kau pasti hadir di situ
Saat ku perlukan

Jangan hirau cerca dan hinaan
Kita teman yang tak sehaluan
Butir kasih dan keikhlasan
Mengikat hatimu hatiku

Apa kau rasa yang ku rasakan
Mungkin ini satu permulaan
Biarlah mawar terus bersemi
Mekar harum mewangi

Tak ku menduga
Cinta yang ku cari selama ini
Dikaburi wajah-wajah yang tiada ertinya sayang
Hadir di sisi
Tanpa harap belas dan perhatian
Namun kau pasti hadir di situ
Saat ku perlukan

Today in History

Today in history...
I am finally going to sit for my final exam - scheduled for 29th July 2009 - after 3 years... I have no strength to fight anymore... I just couldn't be bothered about the result... Am so tired of it... Afterall, my carry marks have achieved 50 and above..

I do hope I can attempt to all questions and managed to go through all of them.

Cant imagine how life gonna be after this.. no more evening classes, no more assignments..

These three years have thought me a lot..not only the knowledge but about life as well.. I am greatful to have signed up for this program.. otherwise I would have waste my three years doing nothing.

I'd like to thank these people who have encouraged me to sign up for this program... my colleague Nava and my CEO Rohan.. Thank you guys..

And not to forget those who have given me courage and strength to stay till the end.. Regrettably, my beloved mom is not around to share this joy.. I believe she is also happy out there.. Would also like to thank her so much for her blessing, especially during exams.. Thanks mom..your blessings put me where i am today.

To all my lecturers... thanks a lot for the courage and knowledge you have given.. I appreciate it very much. Here are my lecturers who I respect and thankful for everything they have thought me - Cik Syarifah, Cik Emy Ezura, Tuan Haji Romle, Sir Hillal, Cik Hardayana, Dr. Zaharuddin, Ustaz Kamaruddin, En Wan Salleh, Dr. Nurhizam, En Azmi, En Amin, Cik Rokiah, Cik Watie, En Arman, En Shamshinoor, Madam Zuhaida, Madam Jasmani, Madam Madiha, Madam Adyani, En Raphy, Madam Mastura, Madam Nadia, Ms Alicia, Madam Wan Suria, Mr. Aravindan, Madam Che Fuziah, Madam Suraya, Cik Siti Hasnah and those few I can't remember (am sorry)..

Are You The One?

To the person I luv out there,

I dedicate this song to you.
The truth… right now I don’t know if I really luv u.. I am confused.
I am not sure if you are the right one for me.

How I wish I don’t have this kind of feeling, this unpleasant feeling.
Am I bad for having this feeling towards you?
I know that this song is really contradicting with what I write here but..
I hope this way could make me realize and remind me

That you are created for me…if ever you are the right person for me..

M Y L O V E

My love, we have seen it all

The Endless confession, the rise and fall

As fragile as a child

Lately I'm sorry I can't hold a smile

But I stand tall to get by

No matter how hard I try to hide

Did you know I take the time for you

Did you know that I could see you through

Did you know that I would play the part

I must've made it clear right from the start

My love, can you give me strength

Somehow I forgot how to ease my pain

I know I'm right where I belong

Something from nothing never proved me wrong

But I stand tall to get by

No matter how hard I try to hide

Did you know I take the time for you

Did you know that I would see you through

Did you know that I would play the part

I must've made it clear right from the start

I would shade my whole life with you

Would you do the same for me

I would give all I am to youWould you do the same for me

And I will stand tall to get by

No matter how hard I try to hide

Could you see I've been brave

Did you notice all my mistakes

There were times I could feel you read my mind

Did you know I take the time for you

Did you know that I would see you through

Did you know that I would play the part

I know I made it clear right from the start

Another Chapter of Life

Its been more than a month since my last post in December.


First of all allow me to wish Happy New Year 2009 to all readers. May this year be blessed with happiness, peaceful, prosperous and above all.. good health.


Recently, I turned mid 30s - wow! what a long journey of life I have been through. Looking back at what I have done to myself the last one year... gosh! nothing much - what a waste of time!

Have tried to fulfill my life with something that is more meaningful but always fail.. Reason I always use is nothing else but.. time constrain..


Come to think of it, everybody are getting the same 24-hours a day but why am I using this as a big ticket to escape?? I myself know the answer.. mis-management of time.. but still, as a human, I never want to admit my weaknesses.

With the change of number in my age, I do hope that I become wiser, good in managing time and above all be grateful on what have been given by Allah the almighty. Amen!

Mumbai's Attack

The recent Mumbai attacked was a tragedy to us – the Hannover Re staff. A day before the tragedy, three of my colleagues were flown into Mumbai for a meeting – 1 local, 2 Germans.

Thursday morning (27th Nov), my colleague called and informed about the incident and they are staying exactly at the under siege hotel – The Taj Mahal.

Friday, 28th Nov: When I came in my colleagues mentioned that the 2 Germans are contactable. 1 of them will be flying out to Germany and another back to KL but still no news of Hema – the local.

Her husband flies into Mumbai with a hope he can locate her. From time to time Hema’s boss contacting her husband.

Saturday, 29th Nov: Still no news of her… Later close to midnight, her department colleague text me… Her husband finally found her… He recognize her through her heart patient chain she wore, her body nearly burnt and that’s the reason the husband couldn’t recognize her… I was terribly sorry over the news and inform some of my colleagues about it…

Her body will be flown to KL and arrive on Monday morning. The funeral will take place on Tuesday – waiting for her children who study abroad to come back. I’ll be going for the funeral tomorrow and hope I will not breakdown and cry…

To Hema, may your soul rest in peace... and to the rest of the victim. Amen.

An Experience I'll Never Forget

Recently I was diagnosed with endometriosis – a kind of fibroid. The gynaecologist also found cyst on my right ovary and he informed that there are few options I can choose from to tackle this illness – pills, jap or surgery. Having discussed this with my boss, I choose to go for surgery. The date is fixed 3-weeks later that is on 4th November 2008. During that period I was so tensed, so worried and I lost quite a number of weight.

Tuesday, 4th Nov: Finally, the day shows its face. I was alone registering myself to the hospital – none of my family were told (I just don’t want them to worry) and the worst part, the person who I can rely was abroad. Around 2pm, the nurses start to take blood, get me change to the surgery gown and etc. This is a painful experience to me as I never get any jap after my primary 6, no one is there with me – I felt a bit sad but I choose it to be like that.

When the anaesthetist comes, he put me to unconscious and takes me to the operating theatre. There onwards I don’t know what happen until around six I was waken up by the doctor and they took me to the ward- room 603. I was not fully conscious and when one of my colleague came, I still drowsy. That night, until the day I was discharged, the doctor and nurses never stop looking after me, giving medicine, take blood pressure count, etc..etc..

Wednesday, 5th Nov: in the morning, the nurses help to clean my body. I was still weak, I can’t move and I was on the urine tube, blood tube and on soluble diet. During the day, my colleagues came and visit me. I was still weak that time. The person I can rely came and visit me the same evening (he came back one day earlier due to an urgent meeting he has to attend). Another colleague of mine from the same department came and visit me along with his girlfriend that evening.

Thursday, 6th Nov: still on tube, I can’t move. Life is so bored.

Friday, 7th Nov: that person come and visits me again – today is his birthday. Unfortunately, I can’t celebrate his birthday due to my condition but I make it a point that when I recover, I’ll make up that missing moment. Having chat for quite sometimes, he finally makes a move…

I am supposed to check out on Saturday but I had slight fever today afternoon and my gynae doesn’t allow me. He further convince that I can’t check out when he learn that I am going to be alone at home. This make me sick and I couldn’t take it anymore – staying further in the hospital can make me crazy - I was crying and crying.

Saturday, 8th Nov: called my boss and update him on my progress. He is unable to visit me as he is having fever. My colleague visits me again in the morning. He stays for sometimes and the same night my uni-mate visit me with her mother and sister – am surprised but happy that she turns up. They are nice people… they are willing to send me home (all the way from Damansara) if no one help me when I check out.

Sunday, 9th Nov: finally I can check out. The person I can rely suppose to fetch me but he has to attend to something in the morning therefore unable to do so. I call my colleague and he fetches me. Around 11 he arrive and finally, I am free from the hospital… Drop by the office for a while to take my books, my boss is there and he does everything for me - carry books, open the door, send me down…

I will be on medical leave until the 3rd Dec, stay all alone at home… Hopefully, I’ll recover faster and that I am mobile to go here and there especially to my exam which starts from 19th Nov.

Just hope for the best out of this faith…. and to my friends who all these while give me courage, thanks a lot - I appreciate it very much.

Euro 2008

Euro 2008 .... Welcome.

Have the chance to watch Euro 2008. My favourite team.. Germany beat Poland 2-nil during the first opening - thanks to Lukas Podolski who scored these goals for the team.... keep it up man!.

The German team

The second game, Germany meets Croatia. Sad that they lost this game 2-1 (also scored by Lukas). I didn't manage to watch the first 70 minutes of the game. By the time I watch, the score already 2-0. Was wondering why Miroslav Klose didn't show his strength this time... I admire this player (who is with the Bayern Munich team back in Germany) the first time I watch WC 2002. Just couldn't remember the match against which country but they scored 8 goals for that game and Miroslav scored the most goals. Since then, I follow the development of this team (only if I have time). The last WC 2006, I was again frustrated as they were only managed to get the third place - lost to Italy during the last minutes of the game in the semi final...uhuk..uhuk...

Miroslave KLOSE with J.Kleinsmann

Germany won over Austria by 1-nil and it was scored by Michael Ballack... Now they move on and will meet the Portugal. They've won this game at a score of 3-2 (scored by Schweinsteiger, Klose and Ballack) that qualify them (the first team) to the semi final.. hurrayyyyy...

Yesterday, the Croat was defeated by the Turks by 3-1 (over penalty after a draw of 1-1). This means, my favourite team will meet the Turks... Gosh! hopefully they can manage to go for the finale...


Finally, the semis come. Germany is meeting the Turks. Yahooooo.... they won 3-2 and yes, the Germans are going for the finale... against???? Another teams in the semis are Russia and Spain. Didn't watch this game - the result.... Spain move on to final.

This morning, I woke up to watch my favourite team play against Spain. Somehow... they don't play well, as if no spirit to win... gosh.... what happen to you guys????? where are my heroes all??? With no winning spirit, they lost to Spain 1-0. I was so frustrated. Well, its a tradition of a game there is win and lose... we have to accept it... :-(

M I S T A K E

Mistake... what does this word means to you.... There are a few types of mistake and it depends on the discretion of individual.


Recently, I accidently done a mistake which I've promised myself I will never commit. I just couldn't forgive myself for committing this mistake and it bothers me now...

I hate myself for having commit the same stupid mistake - this is my weakness. I wish I could turn back time and correct the mistake but as proverb says "life is a drawing without an eraser". So, let the picture be our guide in the future, but this one... we, human will never remember.

Hopefully, I manage to get through this hurdle and become wiser.

So Close Yet Unable to Grab the Chance

Was so excited that Celine Dion will be performing live in Kuala Lumpur on 8th April. Tickets are ranging from RM 158 to RM 1000. My good friend agrees to sponsor me but I hesitate to purchase. Told myself to hold on (as my instinct says something not right will turn up). True enough, the concert is postponed to the 13th, which I am unable to attend. That weekend, the radio is playing Celine’s songs back to back. God… it drives me crazy. I’m so tempted to go and purchase the ticket but think back, I am unable to go as I have class the same evening – I wish I can forget about the class and just go.

End up I didn’t purchase the ticket…means I didn’t go :-(

The next day, I went to Tower Record to find out if Celine’s compact discs are on the shelf. I’ve been looking for it for quite sometimes but always not there (my collection: ‘Falling Into You’, ‘Lets Talk About Love’ and ‘A New Day Has Come’ were missing) and today, finally I manage to get it… 3 compact discs at 1 price. I was so excited and now these 3 are my favourite – everyday without fail, I will listen to Celine’s songs.

Last night, my friend text me that Celine’s concert in Vegas is shown over channel 105. Wow, it was the most fantastic concert I ever watched, the choreographer is brilliant. The best among the best was her number 1 hit “My Love Will Go On” – I was amazed with the choreography.

To Celine: I will always love your songs…

Happy New Year & Welcome 2008!

picture courtesy of istockphoto.com

Today, 31 December - is the last day for year 2007. We have gone through 12 months or 365 days or 8760 hours or 525,600 minutes or 31,536,000 seconds for year 2007 – time flies. It is like yesterday we stepped into 2007 and now we are saying goodbye.

Take a minute or two to look back what have we done through these times. Have we fulfilled the resolution we made during the beginning of 2007? Also, think back what we’ve done good to ourselves, our family, our love ones and people around us.

2008 will show its face in a few hours, so what do you have in your “wish-list” or “things to do”? Will it be totally a new list or a “bring forward of those 2007”? My 2008 “wish-list” is:

Save money
Do charity work
Be more tolerance
Stay at 3.5&above pointer
Start up my own business
To write more

Hopefully, I manage to keep up with the above list - the same thing we say when we start a new resolution :-). Well, whatever it is just try to accomplish as many as possible. Lets hope for the best but at the same time, we must work out to make it happen.

Let us welcome 2008 with a hope that its going to be a smooth and peaceful sailing towards the end and don’t forget to say goodbye and thankful to 2007 that had made us older by one year and wiser (at the same time) :-).

Something to Ponder

"Do you know the relationship between your two eyes? They BLINK together, MOVE together, SEE THINGS together, CRY together and SLEEP together, even though they NEVER SEE EACH OTHER.

Friendship should just be like that and life is like hell without FRIENDS...."

My Campus Life

Myself with my lecturer, Tn Haji Romle and friends during the last meeting before sitting for final exam.

I am doing my part time studies at Univ Utara Malaysia, KL Campus. Started last November. My lecturer (in purple batik) Tn Hj Romle, one of the best lecturer we had for that semester. His lecture is on Sunday (the best day to wake up late), but because of his class my laziness all gone :-)

Sir Hillal - a "father like" lecturer

A leisure class by Sir Hillal - thats what I called his lecture. A not so difficult subject, Communication.

Our dear lecturer, Dr. Zahar.

This lecturer's class also a fun one, as he will show up some video before starts lecturing and some of the show is really touching. During mother's day he read out a 'sajak' on mother, God.... almost everybody cry but I as usual control not to cry (I managed).

This is Ustaz Kamarudin (in Songkok)

And this is our Ustaz Kamarudin. His subject though its more about Islamic knowledge (which I am very weak) but it fun.

Have few more lecturer who we didn't manage to capture a shot with them - Cik Syarifah, Cik Emy Ezura, En Azmi and Cik Hardayanna.

Below is a picture during our Ko-K project (lecture: En. Azmi) in Kg Baru - Hapuskan Aedes project by Titiwangsa Parliament.
