Exams are over… Holidays begins..

Monday, October 31st, 2005

She started a review of her exams in her blog… it went something like this:

"Dear journal,
It’s been awhile since I’ve written to you. It’s because I had exams and there was no way I was gonna waste my time reviewing each and every paper that I had.

Criminal_procedure_codeWell, my first paper sucks. It was Criminal Procedure Code.
It was confusing enough that I had to have an objective test question (4 mind you!!) in the form of problematic questions.The lecturer was being unreasonable and insane by makin’ such questions for our second test. It had totally deflated my whole mood to excel in the finals. I kept on thinking that there’s a chance of me scoring the finals (because finals was over 60), but after actually doing the finals, I would have to pray hard that I pass. I would need a 23/60 to pass. Or at least a 30/60. With the amount of casuality of Chinese name cases.. (wrong name with wrong case), the low confidence that I am facing… I seriously wonder if i’ll even get that far.

Professional_practiceSecond paper came the next morning. Professional Practice.
This was a confusing paper too. My carry mark was not that bad. I gotten a 42/60. That means I need about 8 more marks to pass over 50. We had to answer 4 Question, a minimum 2 marks each question was sufficient to pass. I am a little bit confident to this paper to pass. But only to pass the paper with a C. That’s a little sad thing for me.


Results_markIn exams, I will always try my best to be the best. Strive to get the best exam results. But this semester seems impossible. Even though I vow to try my best and try to get my aim for the semester ana although I am a little sadden at the fact I know I cannot get the best exam marks this semester, but I am still very relieved that the two papers that I wanted to get over and done with is over. Regrets? I don’t think there is any… I don’t think I could have done any better than I did. Given the fact that the semester was really a funny one on us all - I am not surprised at my results if it was bad. (But I will be surprised if I get a good result. Nevertheless I will be happy and bersyukur…)

Third paper was a breath of fresh air. Evidence paper. On a Sunday.
The tips sir gave was very helpful. I could give him a quick hug. But I won’t. Not appropriate. He was the lecturer that every senior had warned not to take with. I went against the odds. Plus, I wasn’t warned about him. Trusting my better judgement, it turned out that I had a great time with him. I felt special in his class. My carrymarks was good. 32/40. Only 8 marks to pass. But that wasn’t my true aim for this subject. An A or A- would be good to relinquish my GPA a notch of balance. My aim.

Forth paper came on the 25th October, 2005. It was Jurisprudence 1.
By this time, I started to slack in studying. Why? Because I knew that I only had three more papers left. This paper was more about English language rather than the substance of the subject. Carrymarks for this paper was the lowest amongst the 6 subjects i was taking. But, I didn’t mind. I was just to contented that my papers are almost ending!

26102005I had a long break after that paper. Had to go to "break fast" with my daughter after the paper. Then, the next day I had to watch KOMA2 @MidValley. Won tickets as usual. Horror - suspence movie. But I was happy to act all silly with my daughter. It was fun. Thank you girl, needed that.

The long break ended with a paper on 29th October, 2005. Public International Law 1.
Well… this paper I can’t say much. I didn’t really check my carrymarks & I just didn’t bother to do so. I had dressed up as if I was going on a date though. Had "fought" with my mom to wear her new tudung. Well, we didn’t really fight. It was a playful squabble. Had "break fast" with my other daughter - Fary and her brother Daniel. It was a delicious meal of Macaroni and Cheese @Kenny Rogers near Ampang Point. I could’ve ate the quater chicken, but decided I was gaining too much weight for my own good. I decided that it would be impossible to study that night for the last paper. So.. to cure my boredom, I booked my man to take me out that night. It was a Saturday and it was a time to watch EPL or simply hang out at mamak stalls. Met up with old mates from highschool - Tafridzal and Muadz. Both shocked @ the way I have turned out. All fulled up.

(notice how my journal had diverted from exams to great outings?)

Today, 31st October, 2005. Civil Procedure 1.
This paper I aim for an A. But it’s a little impossible. I agree that the question was tricky but I know that I gave it my best shot. I hope and pray God would meet up with my expectation for this paper.

1_farah_hairuddinBefore the paper, I met up with Fary and Pugut in a room. We stayed there and tried to study. Instead, we were so hooked up singing More Than Words that was re-sung by Frankie J. It was nice ot just hang out there. But, it was more nice to know that the two girls thinks I can kep a secret.
1_nadia_ashikin
*Yes girls.. I keep any news I receive to myself, unless it is a known public thing… That’s why Pugut doesn’t know bout the whole story of what happened, Fary darlin’… I always think that friends should know from the mouth of the friend themselves. That’s why if I know from others, I would rather act like I don’t know at all…*

After the paper, I was so happy. It’s over! The whole 11 days of exams had finally be over. I came home with Fary and had "break fast" @Johnny’s OU. It was a great time eating there. On our way down, we found out that blook had just opened in OU old wing. It was next to Living Quaters area. At this, we were both excited.

Later, after we had all finished our steamboat meal, I was thinking of having coffee at the nearby San Fransisco Coffee. I miss sitting and having coffee with my friends. It was funny how me and Kabir was thinking of the same thing at the same moment.

Kabir, Fary and me had the Caramel Cappucino small. Raina had just sat there and enjoyed the air and conversation. We could really talk and talk. From art system in Malaysia and Australia to other bizarre things that is happening all over.

18635906644880lIn the midst of me listening and lookin’ around, I spotted an odd couple of girls in costumes. It turned out to be Hazlina and her cousin, Zetty. Both wearin’ such beautiful costumes. Zetty was wearin’ a gypsy purple costume whilst Hazlina was wearing the whole get-up of a witch. They were heading to TGiF Halloween party. Kabir had been so kind to have taken the picture of us together. I looked a little fat, but that’s how I am now and I just have to get to use to it.
*or I could try to loose the kilos i gained*

After about 10pm, we decided to move. We head in the supermarket in Jusco and found couple of really nice chocolates. Fary had insisted that Raina tried the Lindt 70% dark chocolate. I couldn’t resist. I bought a bar too. There were only two bars left. Just nice for the both of us.

Both siblings tried the chocolate and had concluded it to be of a really good taste. Bitter but good. Sigh. The influence we have on each other. It’s nice to see how we are with each other. But it’s good influence. We have equal-ed ourselves with each other. These are the friends that you grew up with during university life.

We parted @10:45pm after a very relunctant parting. Promises was made to go watch movies and theater… also maybe opera or orchestra @Philharmonic Orchestra, KLCC.

Fary drove me home. Met up with a new acquaintance who happens to be Fary’s neighbour @Coffee Hut, next to Rasta. Ridha was his name.. i think. Anyways, she dropped me off and had gone to Hut to meet up and have drinks with her friend and newly made friends there. I think he was a persuasive guy but in a nice way. Not tacky or disrespectful. For such a short meet, I am rather passing lots of comment eh? hehee… Maybe I’m just still high from the coffee… and the feeling of exams over.

Pugut called up from KK. It’s good to know she had a safe flight and she made it back. Will wait for your arrival back in KL. Fary, she called the same time Pugut called. I returned her call and it’s nice to know she arrived home safely. She told me that she met up with some people at Coffee Hut who happens to be my primary school friends. She had met up with Ida Farhani and Megat. Yes… both my friends during the early years of my life.

Now it’s pass 2am. Mom’s asleep, Dad’s watching tele downstairs and my sister is studying and preparing for her exam. Me, I just ended my conversation with my last chatter. Now, I’m alone online typing this blog….

Well, that’s my 11 days report. Now it’s a new day. The start of my 1 month holidays. I shall use it for the good times. My last holiday. Then, it’s the start of new and FINAL semester of my undergraduate life! It really doesn’t feel that long after thinking bout it. Sigh….."

It was all that she could type up that night. She ended her journal and published it online. Feelin’ sleepy but happy, she logged off and head to bed….

Koma2_inviteShe’s excited! She won some horror movie tickets. She needed this break. The next paper is not til next Saturday. She deserves this break…

*smiles*

That night with you…

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

Smiling away, she types her entry…..

"Dear Journal,
Yesterday was fun. Although it did not turn the way I had pictured in my head… but things were nevertheless ok. I went out with my man. We had to send his sister back to Cheras. I was not really bothered with that.. I’m just glad to get out of the house yesterday and spend time with him.

Initially, I wanted to have a quiet evening with him @Secret Recipe. Have a ‘dating’ session. He thought I was gonna meet up some friends at Secret Recipe. But by the time we arrived back in our neighbourhood, it was already nearing 10pm and the place is preparing to close. I was a little devastated.

It’s not that we don’t spend time with each other every night or every other night. But, everytime we do spend time, it was never just the both of us. Our outings would consists of his friends or my friends joining. Which I do not mind at all…. but not yesterday.

I believe… and i think most gals believe in this way (tips for guys):
Situations where a girl wants to spend time with their boyfriend without other friends around -

  • Anniversaries
  • Birthdays
  • Promotion
  • Getting good grades (applicable if girl/guy studying…)

I don’t know about others, but I truly expect to spend time with my man on those days mentioned above ALONE and OUT. I don’t want to sound demanding, but those are the only times I want to do something out of the ordinary… break away from the usual hanging in front of the tele, and spend time out with friends included. On other days/nights, I don’t mind… Not on these days mentioned.

Still in despair, I still wanted to spend time with him, alone. Decided quickly to go to Rasta. I would’ve opted to go to Starbucks or Coffee Bean but it was too far from our neighbourhood. It was already nearing 10pm and I don’t wanna stay out too long. Still in exam mode…

18_banana_boat125_shahril_and_me_at_rasta1

We arrived @Rasta and he picked a nice cozy spot for us. Had a good banana brownie split. That was nice, sayang… I’m glad to at least spend this brief moment with you.



Well… I’m gonna start studying again… with a smile on my face."

She publish her blog and smiled. Tomorrow’s paper might not be easy but the memories of yesterday is like a stress free drug for her to remain calm.

2 years being together… she’s happy!

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

"I’m spoiled by your love.. boy…" sings Joss Stone in her Pc.

She has been listening to this song over and over again for the past three days. She made up her mind to concentrate on her exam and the only way to let go of every other issue was to think back the happy times she had with her man. A simple song usually does the trick for her. She would certainly fall in love with her man all over again when she hears her theme songs reminding her of her relationship with her man; "Spoiled" by Joss Stone was definitely one of the songs.

Smiling away, she sings along with Joss Stone. Singing off key and making smiley faces whenever the lyric touches a certain memory of her an her man. She couldn’t help remembering all of her past times with her man. Today marks the second year of them being together.

She pauses for a moment and thought about that. Two years. Two straight non-stop years of being together. That definitely was something unbelievable for her. She doesn’t know what is the longest period of her man with his ex(s), but she definitely knows that she likes the period of time she’s having with her man. Honestly, never did she feel as though she’d make it this long. Definitely something for her to stop and think for a moment.

There goes the song replaying in her PC. She smiles again.

Today, 23rd October, 2005 was a Sunday. A day to rest. A day to stay in bed. But what did she do? She had to attend University. She was having her exam. Just like her previous exam last semester, this date 23rd October was a known date for her exam. No matter what day it falls under. She was bound to sit for an exam on that particular day.

However, this year was a little different feel to her. She knows that she will be spending it with her man later tonight. Probably somehow celebrating their 2nd year Anniversary.

"2nd year Anniversary…. Sigh… I still can’t believe it." she said to herself.

A friend said and asked her, "Congratulations. So it has surpassed the grace period. Do you see a future together with him?"

She never did answer to that question. She knows it’s still a young relationship. Even though this relationship has been the longest one she’s ever had in her lifetime that is continous, she still does not want to jinx it.

But, if she wanted to stay positive… She’d probably answer, yes.

So those who really knows her, wouldn’t be asking that question because they see her with her man and they imply their own answer. All she knows is that she’s happy. Happy of the years that she goes through with him. The fights and the misunderstanding. There was not a single thing she would change or regret being with him. Well, at least not for now, she thinks…

"altho u look childish infront of ppl, but u r matured in relationship. That i like. Hope our dream come true.. "Happy 2 Years Anniversarry"." - he wrote to her.

"Childish, sayang? Hehehee… your choice of words amaze me. Thank God I understand what you meant by childish… I know I’m kiddish…. sighh…" she smiles at the sentence and mumbles to herself.

She sits and give her thankx to her Creator for making things slightly easier again for her. Her exam paper today was answerable… she found her focus again… and her reason to be happy.

Her dispute with her friend.. never-ending saga.

Friday, October 21st, 2005

She types through her blog. Thinking what she has done so wrong. It’s a place for her to type out stuff without others having a clue who she is talking about. She has too many worries of jaga hati kawan. Being the Malay she is, and a future lawyer, or probably magistrate… confidentiality of identity was important to her. Those things she finds happy and fun to report about, she would name the names… like, going out for movies, going for drives, buka puasa events, having shopping spree days… things like that she blogs out the names of people she went and met up with.

Things which are negative, and she still needs a place to shout and scream, she does it too in her blog. The only difference is, she DOES NOT NAME NAMES!! But People that is effected don’t get that. They know she’s talking bout them, they sound her to take the blog off. *Yes, this person probably cursing her right now… Honey, if you tak tahan with what I’m writing, then, don’t read…. move along with other things in your life that is much more important then my petty blog… I’m just another human being… It’s as you say.. just a f***ing blog…*

Previously, she had a little disagreement with her friend over something in relation to law. She has plenty of law friends because naturally she is studying in a law school herself. She did not mention anywhere in her blog who this person she’s having disagreements with. *It’s not that I perbesarkan the matter in my own blog… I write what I feel like, as you do in your blog.. To you, the matter may look like a big issue, but I post it up here instead of other blogs sebab I know siapa view in this blog.. If I blog it up in my getaway blog, i don’t know who reads ‘em.. and if i type it out in here, no one could know who the hell I am talking about…*

Her friend wants her to delete off the blog. No… her friend would appreciate it if she deletes the blog. It’s natural that her friend would ask her to do this. Because her friend knows it is a blog typed about their conversations together. That’s just it… It’s a conversation done between her and her friend. Unless and until she reveals to people who the other person is, no one knows who this person she was talking about. Hell, this person could be an imaginative figure in her brains for all she cares.

She’s not pretending to know this person, in fact this person is close to being a stranger to her. The only reason why she’s nice to this person, let’s face it… she’s nice to everyone she meets. Even to her enemies. EVEN TO THE ONES THAT STOLE HER FILE!! *See… even that incident I don’t blog out name… do any of you know who the HELL I’m talking about??? Siapa yang melatah tuh, memang sah dia terkena kat batang hidung!*

Hating this feeling. She really cares for this person to make this person understand.. but, this person is just not seeing the reason why she is insisting on thinking like a lawyer instead of a laymen. She understands that we think emotionally, she does it too.. but, she still tries to think within a reasonable lawyer’s mind. Why?

BECAUSE THERE’S TOO MANY LAYMEN OUT THERE THAT THINKS THE SYSTEM IS CORRUPTED. MALAYSIA DOES NOT NEED ITS LAW STUDENTS TO THINK THAT WAY OUT LOUD TOO!

Heck, not to say there’s no corruption in the system at all, but… ntahlaaa.. this person’s comment on the particular matter left her being really disappointed to find that UP TIL NOW THIS PERSON DOES NOT WANT TO ADMIT FAULT. Now, this person is accusing her not understand her life and what she has to go through in her life and that the things the system has done has made her despise the profession… legal profession…

MY QUESTION:
WHY BE IN A PROFESSION YOU HATE & DESPISE IN THE FIRST PLACE??

She wonders and wonders… Ahhh… She has four more papers to go and she’s still juggling this problem with her friend. She shouldn’t have cared so much what her friend thought about judicial system being corrupted. She should just let her be in the dark. This is the thankx she got for trying to right something which is clearly wrong in a sentence.

I AM NOT ATTACKING YOU IN MY BLOGS OR REPLIES… I AM TRYING TO MAKE YOU SEE THAT BAIL IS A RIGHT OF AN INDIVIDUAL AND THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM IS NOT CORRUPTED JUST BECAUSE OF GRANTING BAIL AND THAT THE CLERKS ARE NOT OFFICERS OF THE COURT!!!

I don’t want you jadi bahan gelak sebab tak tahu law.. nanti orang kata, nama jer belajar law tapi tak tahu the real system. TAPI SORRY LAA YOU TOOK THIS NEGATIVELY..

HELL, I DON’T KNOW YOU… TAPI, I KNOW HOW YOU WOULD REACT….


 Fyi, I never said you cannot blog up your emotions… I was just trying to correct that part of your sentence and I did it personally. AND YOU’RE RIGHT.. I don’t THINK I SHOULD EVEN CARE or be DISAPPOINTED with people because i’m stupid for even thinking you’d be happy that you learn something new before you had to learn it later in your law studies…

Al-Fatihah…
