Shifting Gear

Assalamualaikum, In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

A week has passed, since the kicked-off a new semester. Though reluctant to wake up early in the morning, completing assignment, walk to college and all, it seemed to be crucial. Met new lecturers, rearranged classes due to anomalous cases, breakfast and lunch at warung which turned out to be more cheaper, I feels a lot more human than staying at home, done nothing.

Time to shift your brain to highest gear.

Kalau adelah gear 7 dalam kereta kancil saya, dah lama saya shift awal2. My brain need to be fed with something stimulating, essential for keeping me straight on the right track. Or else, I would be 'hilang punca'. I don't know how to pronounce it in english. Haha. A whole new semester surely becomes more promising, with a lot of changes where normal people need to cope up in order to survive. Dear Allah, can you fixed my brain to auto system instead?

Survival of the Fittest.

I came to the college, realizing that none of the things turned out to be my favour. I should have expect the outcome of putting hope in the hands of these insolent people, which I did not. Promises were broken, planner wasn't strategic, registration was neglected, timetable was inadequate enough. It's not up to us to be complaining for a change, but their sense of humor in managing us, where they have put us in their system, should be taken into consideration. Although we are small in numbers, but it doesn't make that a reasonable excuse for us to be neglected and 'dianak-tirikan'. 

They did, we suffered.

What a shame, education institution workers, you put us aside because we simply don't reflect your association. Sorry, you had lost our respect for the last semester, yet you have lost your dignity this time. I've spent 3 hours just to get a simple damn key, yet you produced me nothing. A whole week we tried to consult your officer, but the keys you gave us, turned out to be more than just nonsense. The timetable and schedule which suppose to be organized before, was late enough and we were blamed for our lack of concern, though for 3 times I had asked for it. Shame on you.

Hope the table turn out to us, for we have tight schedule for the weeks, a total of 14 before summarizing the whole semester with the chillness of final exam, as a determinant for Mara to decide, either we are eligible enough to pursue our ambitions. Insya-Allah, everything will be fine, as the course to success always filled with thorned carpet and for the weak to divert away. Let us be strong, and don't let this opportunity slip away from our view. Walaupon awal2 sem dah ada masalah, tapi harap2 'it's a blessing in disguise.' 

"After every difficulty there is relief. Certainly, after every difficulty there comes relief." (94:5-6)

Let me review what this semester has promised us:

"Dear teachers, can I be excused for the rest of my life?" :)

2. New unexpected housemates.

3. More shopping.

5. Lack of access to the cyber world a.k.a internet.

8. Lot more to come.

Pray for our success. :)

"Oh Allah, I don't ask for an easy life, but please do pronounce me the strength, to break the wall of challenges, for I want to succeed that badly. :)"

My prayer, what's yours?

Btw, dear doctors, we engineers do see our brain like a gear thing instead of groups of muscle packed together with neurons and stimulus. Haha.

That's all. Thanks for reading. Illaliqa'. Wassalam.
