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.

Back from a slight adjournment.

I know it has been a very very very long time.

since i last updated this blog.

yes.

this is the problem with me.

when i'm too occupied, i don't feel like writing.

for the past three months, i've been through a lot ups and downs.

i've tried to put them up in this blog.

but to no avail.

haih. =P

nvm that.

well. let me see.

exam is just around the corner with my first paper is due on the 22nd.

if i'm not mistaken. 

CTU 551. followed by contracts (god help me!), torts, MLS (alamak!) and consti. 

my last paper will be on the 10th. yay!

well folks. for the next few weeks.

i need to work and study really hard.

REALLY HARD.

and i mean it.

haha.

like i said.

the past three months have been quite interesting.

besides academics, life in shah alam is very different.

having to meet many new friends is one exciting thing you ought to enjoy.

but losing your old friends due to certain changes in them or in me myself is one bitter thing to swallow. 

but, life has to go on.

the highlights of this semester?

first: being able to be part of the SMF.

yes. SMF has been the ground for me to explore many of the faculty's unseen adventure and fun besides being able to make new friends from all parts. Well, i'm looking forward to another fun-filled semester with this bunch of 'genial' people!

second: to be chosen as a mooter.

i got myself into the team unexpectedly. the first intention was to gain exposure through their workshop and secondly is to experience mooting by attending their audition. suddenly. *poof* i got chosen! despite the fact that i got labelled by the bench as a professional liar in international laws. haha me!

third: to be back in merbok!

under SMF, i got the chance to be back in merbok for the SMF's annual merbok homecoming program. together with the part 3s we journeyed down the memory lane. from strolling and cherishing the good ol' days through the lush and well-trimmed grounds of the campus to striking pins at the ever-memorable Central Square, this event is definitely an event to remember!

with only 40 minutes before the movie starts.

i'm still waiting for nurul to finish her speech therapy class.

which gave me only half n hour.

to drive back to sj.

and head straight to ou.

half way home.

i realized that my trusty kelisa.

and so did my wallet.

RM 20 is all i got for movie tix.

for a meal later after the show.

for fuel.

and for the parking.

it was already five past three by the time i picked daniel.

my dont-know-how-many-times getting the wrong time.

i managed to get a free food scheme.

From Merbok to Shah Alam.

It has been a long week.

Especially for the past 72 hours.

I was supposed to get my result on the 17th.

rather it has been delayed for almost a day.

and it came out at last.

couple of hours ago.

yes. 

the delay was just for a day.

but it felt like ages.

=)

well.

finally my frens.

it is out.

and for me.

i thanked god for everything that He has given to me.

it's a blessing.

alhamdulillah.

for those who've made it to shah alam.

way to go!

for those who've not.

remember this.

god always have better plans for you.
failing now does not mean that you will fail forever.

take it as a catalyst.

as a motivation.

for you to strive even better.

if you want it the most.

there has never been an easy way out.

never.

ever.

ever.

ever.

give up!

=)

well.

it has been a wonderful year and a half in kedah.

all the memories will forever be cherished.

and would need at lest ten full pages of a4 paper if not more!

well.

our next destination will be the hills in the middle of shah alam.

the place where our law faculty is located.

the place where UiTM Malaysia stands majestically.

overlooking the swaying view of Selangor's proud state capital.

Shah Alam.

shah alam will be a whole journey for us.

it is not easy.

to reach the final destination.

en route.

you may fall.

you may get hurt.

but once there.

it will be worth every single pain.

nil sine labore.

so my friends.

see you in shah alam!

Of Chawan, Piccadilly and Asia Cafe.

the last time i met liyana and amirul.

was when we were still at school.

and last night we met again.

for the first time after school.

together with basirah.

we rekindled our memories back then.

memories that have made our school life so havenly. 

though i was regarded as sombong.

was said to different than i supposed to be.

while i'm away in kedah.

i don't think so.

because i am still the same ol' khairil.

the same khairil that any one of you had met and knew.

betul x batch?

huhu.

anyway.

we ate at chawan, bangsar before proceeding to piccadilly, pj for the 'after party'.

haha.

we were still the same.

the one we used to be when we were at school.

loud.

jovial.

carefree.

but we're more matured now.

i guess.

=)

after that.

i made my way to AC to meet zaf and adiel.

these two budaks has succeeded in bringing the 'merbok atmosphere'.

rite in the middle of sj.

as we chatted.

lepak-ed.

and laughed.

like we used to do in B220.

Kolej Malinja.

UiTM Kedah.

i'm sure gonna miss these two sengals.

nvm.
