Off the Edge

Well. I have been attempting to write for quite a numer of times but to no avail. Things just don't want to come out. I prefer oral communication rather than writing, but i still love writing, though. Haha. 

Well. I think this is the best place for me to review what I've read, Leslie. =) Basically the latest Off the Edge is about how our young women politicians fare after a year had passed. They featured them exactly last year after they've triumphed the general elections. 

These brave and revolutionary women include Hannah Yeoh, Subang Jaya ADUN; Nurul Izzah Anwar, Lembah pantai MP and Jenice Lee, Teratai ADUN. They are all new and fresh faces in the political arena, armed with steel determination in bringing changes and to promote social justice. This is what they preached during the last elections lah.

So, the magazine is trying to investigate whether these women had practice whatever they've preached a year before. basically, they are doing their utmost best in keeping their promises alive. Things are easier for the two ADUNs tho as they are part of the government but not Izzah as whenever she's trying to bring something new or do her job, restrain from the majority winning party in the Parliament, (don't want to mention, bahaya, haha) makes it difficult for her to implement such planned activities. Double standards, if you read the article in detail. =P 

So basically that's it lah. It's good, you see to have dynamic and energetic new generations helming our administrations. So at least there's changes lah. The government will be more accountable, transparent and people-oriented. 

Disclaimer: This is my own private opinion and it's purely academic. Hahahaha. 

Moving on. Last two days, on Monday, I went to Shah Alam. First, to do some reserach for my upcoming LAWAsia. and secondly, juz to hang out with the bunch; Hafiz, Nash and Mior. It's been a while though. Haha. 

After sending Aina to school, i leisurely drove down to the library and met Hafiz. Flipped through the papers before leaving to Cempaka 3 for abrief chat with Widee and co. Haha. Lame tak sembang2 ngan Widee. Rindu. =P Saw Miss Liza there. Suddenly terus pucat. Teringat my torts! I waved at her hoping that she could read my facial expression which can be literally translated to: "Please don't fail my torts!" =P 

We had a good lunch at Sect. 6 later on before moving to the highlight of the day. Helping them pindahkan their stuff from Sect. 8 to their new house in Sect. 2! It took us a couple of hours but it's worth it. It was tiring but fun. At least i got the chance to experience Mior's driving skill. I give you 3 1/2 out of 5! hahaha. Way to go! 

So after maghrib and much unpacking of stuffs, we headed down to Pak Su Kopitiam for dinner, only after a 15 minutes of heated discussion. =) and the best part is...! my dinner was F.O.C! Thanks Nash, Hafiz, Mior! I was planning to call it a day and head back to Subang after sending them back to Sect. 2 but I end up tido kat umah diorang. 

We woke up quite late the next day as the tempation to continue sleeping in ain air-coned room is very hard to resist! *wink* 

Haruslah kalau nak rasa macam kat London kite melepak kat umah korang, kan piz? 

Haha~

the exam period. stressful? naah.

come to think about it. my examination month was quite interesting. starting with the exam week. oh ya. before the week started, som e of us from the SMF; Alan, Rahimi, Ain, Hafiz, Ardi, Herni and Syat were given the 'honour' to catch a glimpse and experience UiTM's spanking new ultra-modern Puncak Alam campus. basically we had a leadership course there lah. haha.

so after that, came the mounting pressure of final examinations. i commute daily between s.j and shah alam during that period an thenceforward with most of my time were spent 'studying' in the library. studying, eh khairil? god knows. =P other than studying that period of time were also the time where i had the chance to mingle and hang out with my seniors.

my day during this period usually starts at 10 where i will slowly drive down to shah alam. after a few hours freezing my self in the library, nasrul, hafiz, rahimi or kwamer and i will hunt spots to beat our mid-day (or even later if i were to arrive late) hunger pangs. there's one time where nasrul and i discovered a stall in tesco which serves nice hand-made muslim-chinese noodles. you people ought to try it. *yum* there's even one day where two of us plus hafiz helped ourselves with a decent RM 20/set steamboat. sampai tak boleh bangun kekenyangan. hahaha. 

as the exam starts, the atmosphere were increasingly intense. usually, if there's a paper the next day, a bunch of us, usually Abbas, Alan and Rahimi and occasionaly Nasrul, Zaki, Kwamer and Muiz, will burn our mid-night oils at Cempaka. we will study till usually six before dozing off. it sounds tiring, and, yes, it does, but i think it's worth every second. 

but basically, at the end of the day, it's all about experiencing once-in-a-lifetime campus life. 

H-O-L-I-D-A-Y-!

the pause is cused by the examination. don't blame me. haha. well. i'm literally quite free now. with semester 1 came to an end last sunday, what i could hope is to get a decent GPA an CGPA. torts and contracts were the two papers that have streched my nerves to its limit. and i really really really hope i can pass these two. GOD HELP ME! =) well. enough is enough. what i can promise to myself for now is. to WORK HARDER (and i mean it) next semester. and also to excel in whatever societies i'm in right now. period. 

now. here comes the best part of the semester. HOLIDAYS! which later would turn out to be not that enjoyable due to what i call trapped-in-boredom syndrome. nevertheless. i have few stuff that i'm really looking forward to do this holidays. first. is the preparation for LAWASIA moots. since this is my first time mooting. i really can't wait. yes Shairil. can't wait to spend the rest of my semester holidays with you! hahahaha. next. is the inductions for asasi students and also the part BLS. since most of them, the BLS freshies (cheh. baru habis part 1 dh blagak senior!) are my friends from kedah, i'm sure we will have so much fun. SO MUCH FUN. am i right seniors? *wink*  hahaha.
