February's ending soon

February is ending soon. 28 days flew by in a glimpse just like that. What did I managed to accomplish within those 28 days? Nothing much, really.The biggest highlight of the month would have to be UCL Malaysian Night. Although I only had a small role to be played during the show, I was glad because at least I had a sense of purpose. Not many of friends came, but nevertheless, I wasn't expecting them to though because it was held on a Wednesday night. Who cares, just as long as I had fun, that was all that matters. Other than that, the opportunity to be the moderator for the MACFIS Islamic Finance Forum. The forum was very educating as I managed to know more about Islamic finance that has been the talk of many nowadays.

Its been what, almost five months I am here in the UK now. How do I like it here? It's an exciting place to be. Why? Simply because people here are very open to things. Well, they are way too open actually, if you know what I mean. But nevertheless, being a guy of 20 years of age, I ought to know better than wrongfully utilize such freedom. It is nice that I get to voice out my views on things as well as discuss topics of which I do not think I can get much brilliant responses from people back at home.

Plus, standing far away from home definitely changes your perspectives of your own home. You know, all those things on seeing the bigger picture stuff. Yeah, you can get that a lot here. Who would have thought that someone like me would attend talks on politics? Yes, that surely is something I never even imagined of doing. I am sorry for saying this, but I just believe in pretentious,standing up for show. Besides, actions do speak louder than words, ain't it? Anyone can stand up in front of a crowd in a suit and tell them what they want to hear. That is an art, trust me, I know this because I learnt the tricks. But to be someone who really has not just the will but the capability to turn it into reality, now that is someone worth some respect.

Forgive me for being so random, but lately my mind is not at ease. There are days of which I felt like staying in bed all day, and there were also days when I wished to just keep walking and go wherever my feet takes me too. I often wonder, why do I feel like this? Is it because of her? No, that's not it. Guess that's what happened when you too caught up in your own world and ideas for too long. I need to get more fresh air and drink more coffee.

I leave the rest to you.......

I have an idea, lets make a video project!

Last week, days before I sat for my first paper, I had this crazy idea for a video.  Given that this is the third and final year for my friends and me, I figured why not film a video about it. In the video, the host could ask them questions like: what is your best experience here so far?  how do you feel about finishing your studies soon?  will you miss being a university student? having studied overseas for the past three years, what are your words of advice to students back home?  then somewhere in there, if possible, we could even make some sort of a shout out to our sponsors! Thank you this/ that for making our dreams come true or something like that.  Alright, maybe the questions sound a bit cliche, but I am hoping that the participants would give out interesting responses to them. I had a vision of filming them in various location, just so that they will be more relaxed as the camera is rolling. In fact, the more chilled I can get them to be, I hope to get a more h

Leaders?!

As I said yesterday, I had my oral exam earlier today. Please don't even bother asking me how it went. As always, things didn't go as I had planned it to. I mean, of all things, I didn't expect myself to stumble upon plural conjugations as well as the basic command words such as 'what' and 'how'. Lucky for me it went by pretty quickly that it ended before I even realized it. Well at least I got hold of a decent conversation with Luay Hasan, the other Arabic lecturer before my exam started since I got there earlier than expected. The rest of my afternoon was spent on biting away my Subway while watching a new episode of The Apprentice UK followed by another show about the preparation Venice undergo through last year when the Pope came to visit, then just before the sun sets for the day I managed to finish one more documentary about Britain's monarchy, highlighting the era of its Queens. As the night falls, I realized that I had not only wasted my time w

What's in my typical bag to uni?

Image
  Here are the things that I usually carry with me every day to uni: MacBook Air 11" (credits to Lin, a lady in Kelana Jaya who sold her Air to me last summer. This laptop is strictly for work purposes as it's fitted with only 64Gb of flash drive) a couple of cables and a USB adapter- in case my i5 runs out of juice, but that rarely happens USB drive big enough to load my whole work folder- just in case I needed work done in places where WIFI is off limits lots of A4 papers- blank papers work best for me since I mostly work with diagrams and equations. black, blue and red pens, one of each drinking water (I really can't leave the house without one these days) beanie- in case of light rain along the way. gloves (my hands tend to get cold easily) As you can already see, my bag's content is pretty basic. I don't really carry too much with me when I'm working since I found it counter-productive. *This segment is inspired by the 'What's in Yo
