2011 - The most challenging year!

Assalamualaikum w.b.t

안영하세요! This is the last day in 2011. So how was your life during this year? Interesting or it just another ordinary year. For me, it is a year that the most challenging but at the same time it gives me a reason to smile. Let flash back what was happen to me through out this year.

As you all know, this year was the last semester of my study and it was a very challenging semester for me. The most hardest thing was the FYP. I had put so much efforts in that FYP and alhamdulillah I got compliment from the panel. I still remember what was the panel said to me during the presentation. He said, " You have present it very well and you have a good project. I don't have any comments on your technical paper and I will give you a full mark for this project". Until now, I will not forget even a single word from him. It was a successful day for me. I smiled through out the day. 

During this year, I also had attend 2 interview from most known company, Intel and also Proton. But maybe it was not meant for me, so I didn't pass the interview. It kind of sad for me because I was planned to work after completing my degree.But Allah knows better than us. So He gave me something else. 

I got an offer to further my study overseas. It was unforgettable moment in my life. It was my dream to further my study in oversea. Plus I have to choose among Ivy League Universities, and it is not easy to be accept to those universities. I struggled very hard to get the best cgpa so that I have a chance to apply for those universities. 

However I didn't pass the IELTS exam and I give up to take another exam. But once again Allah has planned something better for me. I got another offer to further my study but just in local universities. But at the same time I got a scholarship from UiTM which means I will be working as a lecturer once I  complete my master. InsyaAllah...

Even though I didn't get any proper job but I got a part time job. I became a teacher, an English teacher at Sekolah Kebangsaan Lubuk Sireh. It was unforgettable experience! I never thought being a teacher is a though job. But now I have the experience, and yes I admit, it is not easy to be a teacher especially an English teacher teaching at rural area school. It was though! There were many obstacles during that period and Alhamdulillah I managed to overcome it.

Beside that, this year also have double happiness in my family. There were 2 convocations through out this year. Mine and also my younger brother. Lucky for both of us to be graduated in the same year. During the convocation I also had been awarded with Vice Chancellor Award. Alhamdulillah! And my final GPA was 4.00. Alhamdulillah!

What can I say, I have done very well through out this year, and it turns out to be good. Alhamdulillah. I really hope the year 2012 will brings me a lots of happiness and at the same time give me strength to overcome all the obstacles that I may face. InsyaAllah. I also want to be a better person from this year. A better person for the one, Allah s.w.t. I hope I can be istiqamah in everything I do. InsyaAllah. Wish me friends!

So, have a Happy New Year! 행복한 연말연시 보내세요!!Welcome 2012!

My dream 집(house)

Assalamualaikum w.b.t

안영하세요!Hi! I know some of you maybe found it's annoying since I keep writing some words in 한글.   그런데 (but) hey practices make perfect! Furthermore, I also include the meaning of those words so, you all will understand what I wrote and at the same time you can learn Korean. It's like you buying one thing and you get one for free. Isn't that interesting? 

So, today I want to share with all of you about my dream house. I bet all of you have their own dream house. For me, I really don't prefer a modern house especially double stories house. I like a simple and a single stories house because it is more easier when it come to cleaning part.

And for me, my dream house will be the classic one. To be exact, I like the colonial style. It looks really amazing. Same goes to the cottage architectural. If you ever watched 'The river cottage' at AFC channel, then you will know why I like that style so much. It looks simple, but at the same time it gives a warm feeling when we are inside the house. 

The other house that I like it very much is the house in the movie 'The Red Kebaya'.. The house is a colonial style and it only one storey What makes me interested in this house because of the architectural. It is a very long house and have a lot of windows but the window was placed at a lower height and the garden was awesome!I really want to show the picture of the house but I can't find it!

But if you really want to know about the house and see it by yourself, you can watch the movie itself. But for me, I have my own dream house and I really have found one of that.! I will show you the house and thanks to my brother because he gave me the website address and at last I found the house that I have been dream for a long time.

It is beautiful right?? I really hope one day I can have this kind of house. InsyaAllah. Have to work hard for it!!

안녕히 계세요!

This is specially for you my friend (친구).

Assalamualaikum w.b.t

Hi!안녕하세요! Today I just want to write about someone that I can say close to me. 친구 or friend.She's neither my high school nor childhood friend. Most people said, when we go to university or start working to find a very good friend seems so difficult. but for me, I found one.

We knew each other accidentally even though we were in the same class. But first time we started our conversation was not in the class instead it happen at the college. 

I still remember, how I asked her for the class timetable since I don't have one and I don't know how to search for it and at that time we barely talked. So, after a few semesters, I don't know how I get closed to her even though we were not in the same class anymore. We often do our revision together since she's very close to seniors.

And during our final semester, we did one assignment as a partner. To be honest, I really feel comfortable working with her. She's not like my other course mate. She knows her responsibility and that makes me really want to do the assignment  together. I still remember how we stayed back at faculty to finished the assignment even though we didn't get the answer. She spend her top up just to called our lecturer to ask for the information. And lastly we managed to submit our assignment. Even though she said, she didn't contribute much, but for me, for her to be my partner is more than enough.

When it comes to our final year project, she's the one that gives me courage to complete the project. For me, she's such a good friend. Being beside her, just make me happy and comfortable. I still remember, i included her name in my thesis since she's the one that gave me advises and courage to do the project.  I can't find any reasons to feel uncomfortable when I'm with her.

When she's having problem, I really feel sad. I really want to see she success in what ever she do. Because she gave me a lots while I gave her nothing. To my 친구, Nurita Ismail, I'll always there for anything you need. Even if it's just some one to listen. 

안녕히 계세요!

Crisis

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

Hi! People keep asking me, why you don't want to further study? And for me, to answer that kind of question sometimes give me a headache. So, why (왜)?

It's not an immediate decision for me to make. It takes more than a month for me to decide either want to accept it or not. Besides, they offered me scholarship which I 'll be receiving around RM 2700 every month. Yeah, it is a big number. but bigger responsibility.

Basically, at first when I first became an engineering student, I have set one thing in my mind. I will never be an engineer because I never dream to be one and I don't know how I end up choosing this field. You know what I like? Culinary art! It is my dream. I really hope one day I can have my own bakery. Yeah, that was my plan.

But why did I choose engineering instead of culinary art? to be honest, it is because my attitude. I like to think what others might say or think about me. I got 4.00 during my matriculation, and I don't have any problem to choose what ever course that I like. But because of that I start to think, why should I took culinary art since I have a good result. Because of that attitude, I choose engineering instead something that I really like.

But, hey! I did istikharah and God knows it is the best for me. When the years passed by, the way I'm thinking start to change. I thought, I should be an engineer since I have studied really hard. For those who don't know, study engineering will not be the same as being an engineer. What you learn in class will not be the same in the industry. That's why I really want to be an engineer. Because it is wasting of my time study, but I never be an engineer. 

That's why I don't want to further my study. It is not like I don't want to do master forever, what I mean here, I want experiences because I believe, experiences teach us a good lesson. By the way, I will doing research. Yes. RESEARCH! And it is not easy because I have done once during my degree. It was stressful. *sigh

But, I have made my decision, and there's no way turning back. I have to follow the road and hope I'll not lost. Just pray and a lot of duas. InsyaAllah.

By the way, I'm learning (한글) Hangul. Korean words and also Korean language. I don't know how long I'll be learning this, but it a biggest achievement for me since I can read (헌글) now even though not very fluent. So, you know what? When I like something, I really hope someone will like it too. So, for those who are really interested in Korean language, I want to recommend you a web where you can learn it for free. Yes, for free. You can download the pdf files and also the audio files. 

I have been learning it for like a few weeks and it is interesting and really easy to understand. You can interact with the teachers and they are really friendly. Believe me! So here's the link.

I hope you all enjoy the lesson!

감사합니다.! 안녕히 계세요!

What matters?

Assalamualaikum w.b.t

Hi. How long has it been. I think it was a long time since my last post. Nothing much happen in my life, so there's no story to be write on. Maybe. *sigh

I don't know either it just me, or somebody else outside there have the same feeling like I do right now. Have you ever think about what is special about you? For me, I think about it like almost everyday! I know it kinds of pathetic, but hey! That's me. 

Why I made a blog? Seriously, because somebody else did, so I think I should have one. But then I realize, I'm not a good writer and I don't have any interesting story to tell about. So, this blog just then being uninteresting blog ever. 

Then I bought a guitar. But I'm kind of person who really easy to give up, and at last the guitar just left in my room without playing it. And now my brother took it. But that's good since he knows how to play. Yet another uninteresting story to tell.

Then I made a twitter account but I never like post anything. So, what the purpose of it. Yes, because somebody else have one, so I should have too. You are very pathetic Atiqah. I know.

So why did I tell about all this? I don't know. Maybe because I want to write, but I don't have any interesting story, and yeah, who's gonna read my post by the way.

I get jealous with my friends. Why? Because they have job. But me? Pursuing master. And it is not a best choice you know, even all your friends said, it is better pursuing master rather than working. Yeah, I know that. But when you completed your master, you think having master but don't have any working experience will be an advantage? Absolutely no! Besides I'm taking engineering and I never been one. Another pathetic!

The most pathetic, you struggle for almost 4 years and graduate with a good result, but not even a single company accept you. This is really pathetic! That shows result doesn't mean anything. Believe me! In the end you end up doing master. And one day you meet up your friends and they ask what you do. And you said, I'm doing master. And they said, "Owh really?" What does that mean.? Does it mean," you not even an engineer with that good result you got during your study?"

I know maybe it just me who over thinking about it. But yo're not in my shoes . And you don't know how does it feel to be uninteresting person and just know how to get good result. *sigh . The exact word is, you just don't have skills and you are not creative. Pathetic!
