EE Sem V : Random Update =]

Hello~~

Its pretty frustrating that my blog is still about Bahrain while my life is full of unwritten story that waited to be posted in this blog!

Now is already week 13, the final two weeks before the study week and the finals =O

My timetable is pretty full and I am so busy with all the rush of assignment and presentation.

Its kinda fun in a way though.

I've been updating myself a lot through Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram than this blog!

oh my poor blog, being abandoned. I'm so sorry! XD

This is just some random update somehow release some stress.

I feel this blog is pretty messy as I wanted to update lots of stuff and ended up = no update at all!

There's a lot of things going on this semester:

1. First time compose + sing my own song "Time Trap" with the best band in UPM and talented friends from Music Faculty for Yinzi Concert 2013
2. Singing invitation from USM Japan Festival
3. First time performing solo guitar on stage
4. Gathering with my foster family and sisters~!
5. First time singing at Bukit Expo- Pretty weird experience though.. hahaha
6. First time performing my own song "Time Trap" at K11!

Anyway, I really work super hard for this semester.. sometimes, its just, I don't know, thing goes wrong with the way I answer my test paper  for Machine and ended up with 20+ marks deficit. =(

I really need to find out about it ASAP!

So far so good ^^

Be positive + eat healthy + rest well + pray hard + study smart =]

I'll never give up till the end. Never will.

Semester 5 gonna end soon. Time run so fast... 

アジアナ！頑張って下さい！最後まであきらめないよ！♥

Bahrain 2013: Sightseeing + Early Birthday Treat + Raya Open House

Going out visit interesting places in Bahrain.
Wearing hand-made dress by my mother.
I wear this when I perform for Malam Seri Gemilang 2012 last year.

1st destination: The biggest and iconic mosque building in Bahrain.

Ahmed Al Fateh Islamic Centre: The map

Beautiful interior design architecture of the mosque.

Me and my mother.

 BEWARE: This post contain a lot of photos!

Bahrain 2013: Eid Mubarak

We start our Eid here with Solat Hari Raya at Rumah Malaysia.

Bahrain 2013: Ramadan Kareem

During Ramadan, all restaurant closed in order to respect this holy Month of Ramadan.
This is the local brand fast food: Jasmi's

I follow my cousin and uncle to this tailor shop that tailor high quality suits, etc.

I did follow my cousin for taraweeh prayer at the nearby mosque. It was a great experience though. They all mostly in black, but we Malaysian like to pray with white. Since I don't look local - Chinese or east Asian looking are pretty rare - I feel that maybe they see me a little bit 'rare' haha. There's a lot of Indian, Nepalese, Indonesian and Filipino working in Bahrain.
But we everyday pray taraweeh at home.
Malaysian here are mostly professional worker, like engineer, architect, etc..

During Ramadan, I follow my aunt, cousin, uncle to go shopping.
Basically we just stay in the house most of the time due to hot weather outside (its summer here).

Some vegetables that are normal vegetable in Malaysia like okra is frozen.
Since Bahrain is a desert-like topography, it doesn't allow any vast agriculture - in other word, it is not suitable.
TOP: Bottled chocolate water... I found it rather peculiar! lol

This is the popular brand here for Milk.

More photos here on our break-fast food here in Bahrain!

Bahrain 2013: Departure

Basically what I gonna write about in this blogpost is my experience on a different airplane than I usually take: MAS and AirAsia.

For departure to Bahrain, I took SriLankan Airlines. We had transit at Colombo, Sri Lanka.
SriLankan airline is the cheapest to go Bahrain. Well, it is economical.

My Electromagnetic lecturer is a Sri Lankan.
I really like the way he teach. He really try his best to make us understand this subject.
Many people failed this subject. Surprisingly I got A! Wow... Didn't expect that at all.

By the way, it seems like lots , lots of my friend are going vacation/internship overseas, Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Taiwan, New Zealand, USA, Australia, Europe... Some went oversea few times!
So rich ahh?? The peer pressure has been up to another limit!

Well, I guess... none went to this part of the globe: The ARABIAN GULF country.
Except those who study at Oman or Egypt...
Well, now pretty much not suitable to visit the middle east anyway...

Well, lets continue about my journey from Malaysia to Bahrain!
By the way, I depart to Bahrain when it is still during fasting month of Ramadan. But due to the journey through plane, we are not fasting on that day.

The journey:
KLIA, Malaysia >> Colombo, SriLanka ~~ 3 hour 35 minute
Colombo, SriLanka >> Manama, Bahrain ~~ 5 hour 20 minute

SriLankan Airlines

The different airplane's model position for easy parking and embarking of passengers.

twenty-two. 15-08-2013

Hello everybody!
It a tradition every year since I get active with blogging that I will update a post on my birthday.
I've being lazy nowadays since blogging require lots of effort.
I mean, nobody gonna read it anyway. hahaha

But this time I need to continue on the tradition each year with some updates!

I'll update full stories of my Bahrain experience soon, after returning to Malaysia, and get all my exams done.
But for now, long story short: I'm celebrating Eid and Birthday in Bahrain.

I'm so happy that this is the best birthday gift that my dad give to me.
Being in Bahrain is good enough, I'm happy already.
But something amazing that I don't actually expected at all happen!
I had an amazing birthday ever for my 22nd birthday!
I had a total BLAST!
*since everybody wish me to have a BLAST on my birthday in FB* hahaha

What happen on my birthday??

The taste of the food is really nice: Authentic Indian banana leaf rice.
I love the complementary dessert~ celebrating India's independent day.

Its a coincidence that we ate at the Indian restaurant. hehe

Look at this hungry face -_-

Guess where is the next location of my birthday celebration?

Here's the clue:

Tower of Bahrain's capital city of Manama.

My birthday is at the East Building of the Financial Harbour Building -- above postcard photo.
Its on the 52nd Floor at the Capital Club. Which has an amazing view of Bahrain!
I gotta said that this is beyond my wildest dream ever that I'll be celebrating my birthday there!!
I must have done something good somewhere, alhamdulillah.

I'm so blessed and I'm so grateful with whatever that I got.
Alhamdulillah. :)
Insya allah, I'll do my best to achieve a greater height and study as high as where I celebrated my birthday, or even higher!

What a day to start my 22nd year of my life.
Dream Summit.Sky High. Work Harder. Be Smart.
Yeah, this mark the beginning of a very challenging journey ahead!

Eventhough I reach my 22 mark of my life, I still feel that I' just 18 today. haha.
I feel so young :)

1434H Ramadan - Self Control

Hello everybody, its been a while since I've been updated anything to my diary blog here.

(It's always 'I will update soon' means I'll update in a month time, or completely forgotten... -_-)

The fact that I rarely update my blog even though I have a lot of fascinating stuff happen in my life is because blogging is something that I need to put lots of effort! Haha.

Besides that, since there's a lot of people around me reading this blog, so I need to be cautious with whatever I'm writing..

From photo to the writing, it took me few hours, even half a day to post a blogpost.

Since its been semester holiday right now, I'll try to update as much as I can. I "try".lol

The main problem that I have right now is "self-control" and I believe that this holy month of Ramadan will able to let me get control of myself, my emotion, physical and spiritual.

I'm ready to fully use this year Ramadan to be a better person, build up my self confidence back and relax.

I'm ready to cleanse my soul, my mind, my body and myself.

So, I have a lot of things I want to concentrate about is about "myself".

All these while, I kept thinking of how my image is represented and judge by people.

Hence, I keep on punishing myself with negativity.

That's why I have no motivation to even update my blog (that's mostly about myself and my life).

I lose control. I lose myself.

This.cannot.go.on.

I need to change this, I need to be in control.

So, Ramadan is the best month to regain my control.

Its all about self-control.

Wish me all the best~!

By the way, I'm working on my first ever song, which I found it kind of strange song.lol

I'm into music more on interest and passion. Basically, musical noob. XP

I need to work on the lyrics and the melody, so I can let my friend to arrange the song.

Then I can submit my demo for next semester performance!

=)

Singing koala~~
