New Chapter

Hei,I'm really sorry that I haven't really update my blog. You can say I've been pretty busy lately.
So,where I should start eh?

Yeah, I'm now officially the student of UniKL-MICET,which stands for M'sian Institute of Chemical and Bioengineering Technology.Catchy huh?Anyway we are located somewhere in Taboh Naning, that is somewhere between Alor Gajah and Tampin.If you still remember your history,this is where the place of one of the great warrior who defied against the British at that time,Dol Said. So the first day we were here,we were told by the local to be careful in this kinda place,because if you do something disturbing(trespassing or anykind),the 'panglima' and 'hulubalang' would come at night and warn you themselves.huhu.now thats original.I hope 'they' don't have the access to the wireless here or else they are going to read this post and come knocking on my door.

This place could be quite far from the city, but I assure you this a suitable place to study. Far from any distraction,which I consider as good.Because I don't want history in Seremban repeat itself again(even I have to admit those are my sweet memories there hoho).Access to the nearest town is pretty easy.There are buses come here at particular times.If you have your own transport,that should be much easier.Unlike in KMS,you can go out anywhere,anytime you want but before 11 pm on the weekdays and before 1am on Friday and Saturday.

In my class,there are 21 students,so far. My classmates are mostly hilarious.We can have a joke like in every 5 minutes.Except when the lecturer is teaching,of course.Other than that,we always find something to laugh about.I hope it stays that way huhu

Classes?

Surprisingly I have to take Biology.Can you believe that?Biology in engineering.At first I thought this must be some kinda mistake,but its not. The 1st topic of the subject: the need to learn biology in engineering.Ok now we're talking. Since I'm taking chemical engineering,i will somehow deal with microorganism as enzyme to catalyze some reaction in chemical industry. Plus, you also need to know how chemical processes are carried out in physiology system so that you will know what kinda drugs or medicine you are going to produce.Pharmaceutical? They create the drugs,we are the one who are going to manufacture and make big money out of it hohohoho not a pengedar dadah or any kind eh haha a good one i mean.Chemical engineers must have knowledge in this field.
Other topics I'm taking now are physical chem,organic chem,material and balance,math,biology,physics and English.Ooo yeah,we have English classes because we are taking IELTS!Again!!! For those who have taken it,this matter is still being discussed and hopefully we don't have to retake it.

Sports facilities

Way much better than kms.Hands down.They have a proper football field,netball field, 3 tennis courts but only 1 is being used and the other 2 are transformed into futsal courts(sounds familiar?),2 FULL basketball courts,2 volleyball courts and last but not least,a gym!!hehe(sangap aa nih)Fully equipped gymnasium hoho The stuffs are all here,whether you want to use it or not.

Its quite easy to get to know people over here.You play futsal or basketball,you cooperate with them,chat a little bit,throw in some smiles,wallah,you get a new friend.Not all students are that friendly,but most of them are.

At the moment,I'm really enjoying myself here.I hope I can finish my year here like this without having any problems.Amin.

Bumpy Ride

Yesterday,I finally do something about my life.Fetching up my bike from a relative house in Tanah Merah.Its quite far from my place approximately 180km distanced. Since the bike was rarely used,nobody really care about the road tax.Consequently, I have to take the old road, through the jungles and mountains(that sounds so cool rite =P) in order to avoid police roadblock.

The journey started by filling up my tank(my bike's tank,not literally my tank hehe) at Petronas. Since I saw the fuel was still at half of tank, I decided just to top up for RM3 because I don't want the fuel to be too much.I played my music player and hit the road.

From Tanah Merah to Jeli,the traffic was smooth.Sometimes I had to slow down to increase the volume of music because the sound of the engine was too loud.By doing so,I have to reach my left pocket while my other hand handling the bike,while moving bout 60km/h.Sometimes the handle got shaky when i did that.

The worse was yet to come.The road from the turn I took towards Dabong was awful. Its an old road and rarely fixed.To make it even more challenging,it was raining and I so happened to be not wearing any sweater or rain coat.Mandi free huhu the road was quite slippery and every time I accelerated the bike got shaky again.

When the rain finally stopped,I was really grateful. So I continued the journey happily.Until I reached Kg.Star.This was where my bike starting to act like a crazy horse.When I tried to go faster,the bike went forth and slowed down repeatedly.I was starting to worry because at that moment,the place is kinda a middle of nowhere.I tried to push the bike a little further,at least till I was in more civilized zone.

Alhamdulillah,with my newly transformed 'ride', i reached this small station gas called Petronas huhu(I'm not promoting k hehe) I checked out what was really the problem and it turned out that the bike was out of gas.Lucky me that i stopped at the gas station.

So I filled it up again and with do'a selamat this time,I resumed my journey.There's no problem whatsoeva till I reached home at 6.
Moral of this story are:

1)Pay your road tax
2)Get a new bike if possible
3)Always baca do'a b4 you travel
4)Don't be too stinky to fill up ur tank

So hopefully you guys can learn from my experience huhu this is the road that I've taken

Unite

Last Friday,I went to a tazkirah by this ustaz(sorry i have problem remembering names).There's one guy ask him about how many raka'at terawikh should be done.Ustaz said according to Imam Hassan al-Banna,if 8 raka'at can make you all happy,then do 8.If 20 can make everyone satisfied, then do 20.But if either both 8 or 20 can't make everyone happy,then don't do it at all. Because the hukum of unity(ukhuwwah) among muslim is wajib(compulsory) compared to terawikh which is sunat.

So fellow friends, if we see nowadays,unity is not really our priority. Many of us are more individualistic.One obvious example,politic in our country. To those who went to orientation for oversea students sponsored by MARA, you should know how agonizing it was. Anyway, i remembered YB Hj Noh said something like 'kita buat ni blablablablablabla utk orang melayu and blabla some more". The point is, they do...... whatever they do for us just for the sake of malay people.But if they really want to see the malay prosper, have they ever talk or negotiate with the other side of malay,keADILan or to be more specific with Anwar Ibrahim.

Yeah,I know they may do muzakarah with PAS but the things is,PAS is not the one controlling PKR.In fact PAS status in PKR is starting to be uncertain.Umno must accept the fact that people don't trust them anymore. Why not share the power instead of brawl with each other.If this goes on i'm pretty sure we will lose the only thing we have,power.

Ok,may be i'm being too idealistic or naive.But yeah, I am naive.I'm naive because I don't understand why is it so hard to put all the hates behind,to share power for the sake of our people,if that is their real intention to be in politic that is.

So fellow friends, for we are the next generation,I hope we don't do the same mistake as our leaders have done.We still have a long way to go.After this,everyone of us may participate in different organization,parties but do not forget who we really are.
