Short break - Gawai Festival

~Assalamualaikum wtb~

Alhamdulillah, syukur kehadrat Allah swt dgn izinNya aku masih mampu bernafas di muka bumi ini. Semoga bila nafas terakhirku telah tiba, aku tetap berada dalam keadaan menyebut nama Allah swt. InsyaAllah Aamiin..

Hello everyone. It was quite long I didn't post anything in this 'dorm'.. Yeah, as you can see, my blog has been changed to a new name and also the background. I have changed them since I and maybe some of you get bored with my blog. So then, I changed the name to be "my-free-dorm" which means, I am free to write anything in my mind in this "dorm".. Also with the background, I'v already changed it to a brand new background. Thanks a lot to my sister Hafiezah the blog owner of nurthecutie for helping me by giving some guidance in order to 'upgrade' my-free-dorm to be a bit more attractive. I'll do some more if I got more free time to do so.. =) 

Malaysia will be celebrating a festival called Gawai Festival which is purposely celebrate for those who are living in Sarawak and specifically for Iban, Bidayuh, and some more ethnics in Sarawak. This festival usually will be celebrated during end of May or early June. 

My university (UiTM) is giving a short break for their students to celebrate this festival. It's because, UiTM's students consists variety of ethnics who came from the peninsular and also from Borneo part (Sabah and Sarawak). That is the reason why UiTM is giving this short break is to give a chance for their students who celebrating it to go back in their hometown.

Actually, the short break will be started on 25th May until 2nd June (Including saturday+sunday).  But, I've bought a return flight ticket on 23th May until 3rd June.  Hahaha, I know what you are thinking now. It's a norm when a student bought a flight ticket earlier and just came back a day after the break finished. Firstly, I think that I just have to stay here since it is just a short break and it is costly to buy a flight ticket. But, when your dad had offered you to buy flight tickets, would you refuse it? Hell NO! Its for free yawww.. Who does not like to go back to our hometown.. So, I decided to buy a ticket faster in avoiding the changes of ticket fare to be more expensive. 

I got an email from Malaysia Airline and Alhamdulillah, my flight ticket is confirmed and I am now counting the days to see my family, my cats, my niece, my nephew, and all my all.

Sabah Aku Datang... =)

Well, i'm posting not because today is a April Fool. It is actually prohibited for us as a Muslim to celebrate that kind of so-called ceremony. I don't know, what does April Fool mean and for what??? I didn't see that celebrating April Fool is a need or give benefits for us especially Muslim. So, once again i am strictly stated that I don't have any interest, no intention to celebrate or doing something special just because today is a April Fool.

Btw, I have class (the only class on Monday) today at 10.30 am which me usually will get ready at 9.00 am at least. Yeah, I was almost finished preparing my self to go to class this morning. Woke up early, breakfast, well-dressed, and luckily I didn't wearing my hijab yet when my roommate told me that this morning class was cancelled. Dang!!!! Hahahaha... It could be a good news for students (mostly) to know that no class for the whole day but NOT when u only know that 'good' news once you almost done especially with your well-dressed just like me just now. However, I should be grateful since I've time to finished up my assignment, notes, and IS (Independent Study@Thesis). I wish.... So, I will finished them all right after blogging...

Another story that makes me being damn excited is that, I will go for a vacation with 2 of my housemates Fatin n Gdah during our mid-semester break coming soon. Motel for 3 nights, and return flight ticket for 3  pax were done last night.

This is our motel confirmation voucher via Agoda.com

Our return flight confirmation tickets via MAS airlines

Yeah, we planned to go to Langkawi (langkawi jer kerrrr?) for 3 nights from 22nd April until 25th April. We actually don't have enough information about the location but we will stay at the hotel near to Pantai Chenang. We choose Pantai Chenang since most of my friends suggested us to stay there. Anyone been there before? Proud to say that I never been there, even Langkawi itself. Kesian kan? So, this will be my first time to see Langkawi with my own eyes. Roughly, each of us spent almost RM 250 for accommodation and also for the flight ticket so far which I think worth enough for gamble backpackers like us. We decided to go to Langkawi as backpackers, that we think quite interesting and challenging. Within these 3 weeks before the date, we will struggle to collect as much as informations needed.

Last but not list, I wish nothing bad happen during our vacation and may anything will be going smooth. My friend told me, "we can start with this challenge as a gambled backpacker as a preparation for our future vacation to Korea soooooooon.." Yeah, I hope we can get opportunity to fulfill our dream to go to Korea one day.InsyaAllah Aamiin....

RISEAP - IIUM

~Assalamualaikum wtb~

Alhamdulillah syukur kehadrat Allah swt kerana dengan izin-Nya aku masih mampu dan berpeluang bernafas di bumi pinjaman-Nya ini.

I am currently sitting and facing my lappy in a small but perfect room with my sister Azimah. Perfect room? Yeah, this room equipped with a single bed with 1 pillow and blanket, locker, bathroom+toilet+utilities, balcony, fan, air-conditioning, mini freezer, internet access off course  single sofa, long mirror, personal table with chair, and also mini coffee table. 

The place where my sister stay for a month.. Sudah pasti saya juga tumpang sekaki di tempat ini.. :D

IIUM main building

So, im sure u can imagine how comfortable the room provided for my sister and the rest of the participants. Actually she have a short course of Islamic Da'wah for a month held in International Islamic University of Malaysia (IIUM), organized by Regional Islamic Da'wah Council of Southeast Asia and the Pacific or RISEAP. The 16 participants came from different country has been selected by the RISEAP. Only 5 candidates from Malaysia (2 Sabah + 2 Sarawak + 1 Pahang), and the rest are from Hongkong, Taiwan, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka. 

At first, I was planning just to visit my sister since we cannot have chance to meet often. So i decided to stay here since last wednesday (yeah, all my classes was cancelled) till this sunday, In Shaa Allah. Look, my plan just to visit my sister ended up with an awkward feeling from inside of my heart. I just didn't know how can i explain or confront that feeling. Frankly, i am quite jealous with my sister for her to have this precious chance because they got so much benefits for themselves. Not to mention how friendly all the participants even they only can communicate in English. Some of them cannot speak in English properly, but that is not a big issue as long as the other can still understand what they are trying to deliver. 

What am I trying to point out here is my sister is very lucky to be one of them. She made some new friends from different country, meet up here and gain knowledge about Islam together. The day i arrived here, i got chance to have a short conversation with the girls from Hongkong, Taiwan, Myanmar, and Cambodia. You know what? They're freaking friendly. I wish soon i will get the same chance as my sister.

Aamiin

Craving for korean food

~Assalamualaikum wtb~

Syukur kehadrat Allah swt..

Today, my appetite being so weird when my tongue refused all the foods. I don't know why I can't eat everything except for this kind of hard-to-get food which is Korean Food. The day when I with my borneo friends went to Dubu Dubu Seoul Food located in Times Square KL. We went there all the way from Puncak Alam just to fulfill the hunger of Korean Food. It kinda crazy for some people ,but yes we are!!! hehehehe. I imagined the food we ordered. Tteoppokki (some spell Tteobbokki), kind of  spicy rice cake flavored with korean special sauce, Kimchii, Miso Soup, Bulgogi, Jigae, Bibimbap, and other side dishes.

 I suggest this restaurant for those who love korean food. The food is so delicous and the price is also affordable since this food is kind of hard to find here in Malaysia.

The time when the food arrived and we start to eat, it was like in heaven.. Sooo heaven. We started with Spicy Tteoppoki. 

It taste sweet and sour with delicious korean sauce. So delicous i tell u.. For those who love korea or kpop, u should try this one. I plan to order it double so that i won't regret next time.haha

Then, we continue with our own dishes. So, I ordered Meat Bbibimbap since I was super duper hungry. Bbibimbap is kind of mixed korean rice with some vegetable and egg yolk with korean sauce.

Meat Bbibimbap

One thing that i bet it was so funny when enjoy our food with no-sound. We enjoy our food with passion until it all finished. Hahaha, so-called extremely hungry. 

Korean grilled bulgogi

Kimchi Sondubu Jigae

Kimchi

We paid almost RM150  for 5 pax. 

So now, i am craving for korean food especially the Tteoppokki with the delicious korean sauce. I found some korean restaurants around Kota Kinabalu but so sad all of them are non-halal restaurant. I hope that, there will be at least one halal korean restaurant will be open very soon.Aamiin.. hehehe

Aigoooooooooooooooooo

Final year

~Assalamualaikum wtb~

Syukur Alhamdulillah kehadrat Allah swt..

Nothing much to be share for tonight.. I just wanna share something that suddenly come into my mind.So, what was that? There were something that made me smile and talked to myself.. That 'thing' came since my semester 5's result has been email to every uitm's students. It was 3 days ago, on Friday. I'm so sure that all of us felt the same uncomfortable feeling and nervous to know the result. Alhamdulillah, I've got the good result but still don't have a chance to get the highest pointer that qualify me to get a dean list.

Since the result has been announced, I think I am now officially a final year student. Hoyeahhhhhhh!!!

Sorry, that is not a cheers of victory since there is still one more semester to be completed. So, dear myself, lets do the best among the best to improve the pointer or at least maintain the current cgpa. InsyaAllah Aamiin... 

Aja aja fighting!!!!

Yeyeyeyeyeyeye

I AM FINAL YEAR STUDENT...

He is Cocom

~Assalamualaikum wtb~

Alhamdulillah, 1st of all the infinity thanks to Allah. Because of HIM I'm still alive and breath without no worry.. It's 1.42am and I am still fresh facing my mom's petite notebook. I felt like to go bed just now, but suddenly feel cannot close my eyes when I saw my cat Cocom look like having difficulty to breath outside my room. He looks weird with his chest ups and down very fast showing that he is in pain. I don't know what happened to him and what should I do? Yeah, i was sooooo panic and blur.. All i can do is cry cry n cry while I do some massage at his back (I do that like what my mom do when i wanna puke or something like that). But, my effort by massage him look like useless. 

Cocom still having difficulty to breath. Then, i poured some water into a bowl and helped Cocom to drink. I thought that it will reduce or slower down his pain. But he suddenly put his head on my hand like people sleep with their arm but in standing position.. I have no idea at all how can i help him anymore.Now, i just sitting next to him wishing and praying his pain will disappear little by little.

So, this is Cocom struggling for himself and for us. I can't sleep until his breathing turns back to normal. May Allah protect Cocom and all my cats.InsyaAllah Aamiin ya robbal alamin..
