It’s weekend, finally!

So today I woke up at 11.30am instead of having to get up early everyday to school. It’s nothing much a stress at school, given that I only have one to two classes only everyday (not more than 2 hours) and it’s not that bad if you know how to pretend to appear as a good teacher when you actually a total loser at teaching :P Most of time I bring the kids to the library or computer lab so I don’t need to do much talking. Hehe. I’m smart, ain’t I? But I am sure I don’t want to have this as my long time career even though they pay me higher for half day school than IRIS used to pay me for 8-5 office job. Teaching is not my thing, full stop. Then again here are some forms and documents I may need to send out to two universities for this DPLI teaching course. My parents want me to do it, don’t ask me. Sigh. I just hope I’ll be getting the news from the postgraduate studies earlier than the DPLI’s, so my life will be safe. 

And I have got a news about Haris after almost 3 weeks on his way to Paris. Well, no news from him yet, hence the almost giveup and assumption that he might be lost. Only just now Valerie said my postcard which I had sent the same time with Haris just arrived, so hopefully Haris will also turn up in Paris soon! *fingers crossed*

Okay, and I haven’t even had a shower yet. See you.

A Note From Last Week.. cont’d

Some more photos I took in UIA, in case any of you miss the university already :P But mostly of KOE and the central and the mosque only.. and the post office! Haha. Didn’t have time to go around especially the grand stair and entrance and hostel.. too bad. Anyways. Enjoy :)

  

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

UIA Revisited.

A note from last week

E0, Kulliyyah of Engineering

E0, Kulliyyah of Engineering IIUM

Which I didn’t manage to write earlier. I mean my visit to UIA meeting Arfah and the lecturers. It was all fine. I didn’t expect them to be this supportive, and even wrote flatteringly neat comments in my referral forms haha. They asked me why I chose UKM and USM and not UIA. Not that I don’t love this place, it’s obviously more beautiful than UKM and USM and plus Arfah’s room really makes me feel want to go back here. But UIA has too much heaven and hell of memories to bear with. I said I just want to be in a new environment :) Really I do. And I have mailed the applications with a hope I’ll be in one of the places sometime middle of this year.

ilyani is a teacher Part 2

Muahahahahahahaha.

Not funny. 

Replacing a teacher for 2 months.

Starting tomorrow.

Yikes.

I hate hate hate to be a teacher.

I’m doing this only to get some money.

aaaaaaaaa

Tonight I’m going to KL.

Arrive tomorrow morning. And go to UIA.

Meet lecturers. To get them fill my referee forms. 

Dr Shihab will be available in the morning, though I am not sure what time. I am too scared to call him haha.

Dr Aisha will be available 1pm. Called her just now.

Prof Farhat doesn’t reply my email :( therefore I’m thinking to get Dr Aisha instead. 

Okay. And Arfah will pick me at the bus. Ohhhh now that I think about it. This actually will be the first time I go straight to UIA from Kelantan not as a student, so I don’t have a hostel room there to go and rest my ass and sleep. Well I went a few times to UIA when I was living in Bandar Tasik Selatan, then again I drove to there, didn’t take much time. I didn’t need no room to rest. 

In summarized I’ll be in Arfah’s room until the time I can go to meet them lecturers. UIA has the bestest hostel rooms for masters students.. the privilage is well obvious. Spacious, individual room. Instead of compartments in a big room for undergrads. If I consider the hostel rooms then I’ll be choosing UIA rather than UKM or USM. HAHAHA.

OK but I don’t know what else I should be doing other than meeting the two lecturers. I can take pictures, maybe. Then go to the post office and straightaway mail the forms. They have to arrive there before 16th!!!!! What was I doing all this time?? The deadline is coming too soon! 

Then I can go and buy postcards :)

Hey hey

Haha. Why am I so busy?

Many many things. I don’t know where to start.

Sent Haris to Valerie in Paris.

Scanned ALL my postcards. Hell yeah.

Found a bunch of neat people to chat in forum :) I’m not that bored anymore.

Learnt to make cupcakes.

Fell into argument with that person again. After the so-called neat friendship. Haih. I thought he could be a friend afterall. Well even the most wonderful men could be jerk at times. I understand his situation. But I am now too tired. I have my own problems to settle.

Applied for postgraduate studies in UKM and USM. Online first, then still have to fill up manual papers and get referees, mail them.

Hmm.. are you asking me why I want to go for masters degree?

1- I want to get a life.

2- I want to be a smart-ass. HAHA.

3- I want to get busy.

4- I want to get a new boyfriend. Smart-ass boyfriend. HAHAHA.

Though above reasons may not be useful if the lecturers ask me when I need their reference soon. Hmm I have to think a few decent reasons for this purpose.

1- I want to expand my knowledge and do more research on this field of broadband, information security and space technology.

2- I want to be more acceptable in the job market as a higher level professional.

3- I want to contribute to the university as part of the research team.

Okay. And the deadline for UKM is 16 February!! I don’t know about USM though. Not me, they did not mention it in the website. I called UKM today to ask about the confusion in the online form, only to realize myself that in KL they’re having Thaipusam holiday today. HAPPY THAIPUSAM to all of you!!! :D Hahahaha.

Hmm what else. I have continued sending postcards as usual. Haha. Mama can’t stop me now coz she knows I don’t have anything else to do.

Oh, I went to an interview for some software support position in a company here. But they want to hire permanent staff only. Meaning very long term. And working on Saturdays also. Hehe. I said I’ll call them again after I think about it. But it seems I will not again.

I have like 3 months to waste now before (hopefully) get my ass back to the university. I can’t wait.

I am considerably happy.

ilyani is applying for masters degree but..

Haih. I always always knew there can never be such thing as a perfect university online system. I have experienced a tiring of times in UIA. I shouldn’t have been surprised to see other universities’ system just as well.

1) UKM. There’s an online form, okay. But..

ukm

.. tell me clearly please? Person details. Person who? Grandmother? Ex-boyfriend? ToyVoyager? Agh.

2) USM. I have submitted a completed form once, and it gave me a serial number. However, this online application does not let you check again the things you have keyed in??? Okay nevermind I can’t edit anymore, but can’t I even see my form? Everytime I go back to the site it begins with new registration.

usm

Like, hello? I would like to register for the 5th time please? Sigh. Because, though all is ok and I have printed out the alredy-submitted form, I still am not happy when I looked at the papers and realized it missed something during the printing!

usm3

Hey, now where are the years?? I am 500% sure I have filled up EVERY field and it’s not my printer fault. The printer is new and I just bought it less than one week ago! Hm I can’t call up and ask now as it’s night and tomorrow’s weekend. Bleh.

Aku sudah mempunyai scanner baru

Wuhu. HP 3-in-1 macam lama juga tetapi model baru.

Dan lebih murah! RM192. Hmm.. macam tak percaya.

Nampaknya aku terpaksa menghabiskan masaku untuk scan poskad.

Lalalalala..

Hari ini pergi ke bazar untuk membeli sesuatu untuk di hantar dalam surprise swap. Aku tidak puas hati dengan surprise swap ini. Sebab aku baru sahaja mendapat bungkusan dari Bulgaria (lagi..) dan souvenir yang sama sekali bukan yang aku inginkan. Haih.

Aku rasa rugi sahaja untuk aku menghantar souvenir Kelantan yang bagus ini sebagai pulangan apa yang aku telah terima. 

Tetapi ini lah adat swap. Ada yang puas hati ada yang tidak.

Tapi masih bernasib baik jika dapat swap nya. Pernah juga dulu bungkusan nya tidak kunjung tiba.

Aku tidak tahu hendak menulis apa

Aku rasa tenang kembali. Aku rasa segar. 

Aku masih tidak tahu mengapa.

Tetapi masih juga tidak gembira.

Tetapi lagi, tidak juga bersedih.

Aku meneruskan hari-hari ini…

Tiada harapan. Tiada tujuan. 

Aku ingin teruskan juga. Kerana aku masih bernyawa.

Walaupun tidak berguna.

People at Hajj 2008

I wish I could get a detailed information about statistic of  the Hajj pilgrims in 2008, the country list with the number of people from each. Kingdom of Saudi Arabia appoints the number of pilgrims from each country should not exceed 0.1% of the country population, though I am not too sure if it’s 0.1% of the whole population or 0.1% of Muslims population in each country. But from newspapers I read Malaysia sent 27,000 people so I assume it right to be 0.1% of the country population. Significant major pilgrims groups are from Turkey, China, Iran, Nigeria, India, Indonesia, Pakistan.. just to name a few, besides local Arabs in Saudi and nearby countries. It’s real AMAZING to see people from the whole wide world gathering in one place, and they are all around you! I couldn’t help being so excited to identify every single person I met in the mosque, in the streets, in the shops, the yard.. of which country they belong to. Generally they were wearing traditional dress or uniforms, or certain labels on the shirt/scarf/bags written on it the country name, or the country flags as their identification. Since you can never know when you may get lost in the crowd of 5 million people, or lose your group, so it’s important to let people know visually which country you come from.

It was getting more intriguing when I met peeople from countries I really didn’t know where on earth they’re located, like Cote D Ivoire, Togo, Sychelles.. I was like, “Oh, there are people in those coutries!”. LOL.  Same goes for the countries having Muslims as minority, like Italy, USA, Australia and South Africa, Russia.. I have met a number of people from there. If there’s a chance, I would greet them and see if they could speak English. I would take their pictures, a few of which I asked politely, while thre rest are good candid photos haha. I wish my phone camera was 24-7 ready for that purpose so photos of people from EVERY country could be captured. But I wasn’t very lucky and didn’t have much time. Anyways. Below are some of the photos  I’d like to share.
