just want to say that it good to be home. it's like a family gathering, with zaki coming home too, unfortunately sis can't go home coz' she got a lot work to do.

This week

I had been very busy lately. My silat training is on Tuesday and Wednesday from 9 pm to 12 pm. Sometimes I do my training on Saturday night at 1030 pm to 11.30 pm and on Sunday evening at 6.00 pm.
Damn, this week is very busy for me. First, I have to complete my math assignment, then back home coz’ family matters and I have to train silat for next week demonstration. I was like sleep 1-2 am in the morning, woke up at 5.30 am, sleep after zohor, train silat from 9 to 12 revise a little, sleep at 1-2 am, and it happen everyday this week.
Actually, I love this ‘busy’ feeling. I just don’t know why, but I enjoy it.
The Arabic classes are getting harder. Many new words and grammar that I have to learn.

Guy Sebastian - Kryptonite Lyrics
From the very second baby I already knew
I'll end up head over heels in love with you
Turns out I'm right

I couldn't tell if you were feeling what i felt for you
So i nonchalantly tried to play it cool
I'm tired of lying

But i get lost when I look in your Eyes
Cos my love is so hard to disguise

[Chorus]
Baby I can't help this feeling
It's a fight that I know I can't win
There's nothing i can do
So I'm giving up tonight
Cos baby you're my kryptonite

Cos i can't stop thinking of you
I'll be trying not to love you
I'm helpless, girl it's true
So I'm giving up tonight
Cos baby you're my kryptonite

You're love is like a pendulum that's swinging side to side
Got me in a spell and now I can't deny
Girl I'm hypnotised
Cos baby it's the same tomorrow, yesterday, tonight
And i swear that nothing's ever felt so right
I'm yours for life

I get lost when I look in your eyes
Cos my love is so hard to disguise

[Chorus]

I've tried so hard to let you go
But I can't escape the way I feel inside
Way beyond denial that we are meant to be in love
So girl I give up, yeah

[Chorus]

Lately, there are reader’s complaints that my blog should not be in 100% in English because she or he can’t read my blog. Well, actually I hate to mix English words with other languages. It’s not that I’m that rigid. I can be flexible too. But the wording just doesn’t fits with each other. If I write blog in Malay, I will write it 100%-ly Malay. Indeed, it’s very easy to me to write Malay blog.
Formal Malay

Menulis sebuah blog merupakan antara perkara yang termudah dalam berinternet. Blog diwujudkan (coined) dari perkataan inggeris, web dan log. Blog merupakan salah satu medium untuk pengguna internet mengekpressikan dirinya dan ideanya.

Informal malay

Tulih blog ni mmg sng. Cuma sit-back, fikir dua-tige minit, pastu post je ape kat kapla hotak tu kat dalam blog.blog gak tak tehad kepada aktiviti harian ngan idea saje, malah nak campak ape2 pon bleh.

Rojak language

Well, I love to write blog. It give me ‘kebebasan’ to write anything that I ‘terfikir’ in my mind. Also, blog give me flexibility to ‘mencampak’ everything that I want to show to other people

The main point I want to show here is that I want to make my blog universal. To make my blog universal, I have to write my blog in English. Well, for blog newbie’s around the world, they can learn what to do with blog by reading my blog and other blogs too.

My sister

Last Sunday, my big sister, Kak No, come to visit me at MCIIUM. It’s been a long time since I’ve meets her, I think maybe more than one month.
She said she will arrive here at 3 pm but until 7 pm, she still doesn’t show herself. Then I called her, she said that she will arrive at 7.30 pm. She said that she just arrive here. Then, we’ll go for magrib prayer.
I thought she is come here alone, indeed, she bring some of her friends too. Fadhli, one of her friend very familiar to the road here, drive them here.
First I thought she came here because there is something other thing to do, that she just drops by to say hi. But she just here just to see me. She want to tell me that I have to go back home this weekend because of family matters.
We then have our dinner at Aika café unfortunately, I want to bring them to aroma café but the café is closed. And one more thing, it was the first time I ate there. I didn’t know that Aika café is dominate by male, so there is no female there. Never mind, we’re special.

Culture shock

This is what I read from my text book…

Culture shock has several stages, but there are 4 main stages. When people arrived in a new environment, they usually excited and happy. They notice that a lot of things are similar to their own culture, and this surprise them. This is stage one.
In stage two, people notice how different the new culture is from their own culture. They become confuse. It seems difficult to do even simple things. They feel angry and depressed. Hey spend a lot of time with other people from their own culture.
The in stage three, they begin to understand the new culture better. They begin to like some new custom and befriend from new environment. Here they feel more comfortable and relax.
In stage four, they feel very comfortable and happy. They have good friends in the new culture. They understand the new custom. Some custom similar from their culture, and some are totally different, that’s ok. They’re, of course, a member from their own culture, but they become a new member of the new culture. They feel they’re belonging to the new culture. They enjoy their life.

*note that the sentences are litle confusing because I've edited it.*

Before I join MCIIUM, many people said to me that when you become a University student, you will get culture shock. At first, I thought culture shock is just happen at environment, the timetable, the study styles and the freedom ness. I thought I’ve adapt to the change. But not until last week, when the classes has started. I thought I ready for the lecturer and lecture, but actually, I’m not ready for the language. I’ve been learning in my native language, which is Malay, and now, I’ve to study, all in English. Many new words, term and terminologies that I don’t ever hear before. Some term pronounce similar, but some are totally different. I think I’ve to work double hard from now on. No more computer after this.*just joking.*

*edited* i've just read apis's blog. he wrote about culture shock too.
