A DAY IN THE LIFE OF NADHIRAH
ReplyDelete6.30 a.m
The alarm ringing as usual. This morning I feel so tired and it is hard for me to wake up and do my activities. I’m in my room, switch on the lamp and walk to the toilet with my eyes closed.
7.00 a.m
I’m helping my mom preparing our breakfast at dining room. Today’s menus are fried rice, fried bihun, and also ‘roti canai’ that my mother bought at the stall beside my house. Today I will go to my friends’ house at Klang and Cheras. My friend promised me to pick me at home at 9.00 a.m. I have to get ready before he comes. I feel so excited.
9.00 a.m
Now I’m ready to go, but suddenly he calls and tell me that we will go to our friends’ house at noon, 1.00 p.m. What ??? I have to be patient and wait until that time while I’m watching television.
1.00 p.m
At last , he comes and take me to my friend’s house at Klang first. Both of us do not know where are the house is situated. We just know the address and follow the signboard. It is really funny because we got lost and trying to find the right way to my friend’s house, Atikah.
We arrive at Atikah’s house at 4.00 p.m. It takes 3 hours for me and my friend to find the way. I’m dizzy when I’m in car. I realize I’m hungry and because of that, I’ve eat lots of ‘bakso’ at Atikah’s house.
4.30 p.m
After Atikah’s house, we are going to another house. This time the house is located at Cheras. It lots of cars on the highway and this make our car move slowly and because of that, at 6.00 p.m we just arrive the house. It is raining like cats and dogs. I feel so happy because my favorites ‘laksa Johor’ and ‘laksa Penang’ was been served for us.
7.00p.m
After giving some ‘duit raya’ to my friend, I walk to the car and we are going back home. When I’m in the car I was sleeping because of too tired.
8.00p.m
Home sweet home. Huh, I feel so tired ! I’ve to take my bath and go to sleep but I want to watch TV3 , slot ‘cerekarama’ looks interesting on this night.
10.00 p.m
Watching ‘Bara Cinta Ramadhan’ at my living room. I started to cry because of the story of the man who willing to sacrifice against his wife and children although there are many problems that he had to face.
12.00 a.m
Walking to my room and I’m going to the bed. Although I’m so tired but I’m very happy with my day.
A Day in the Life of Nur Sakinah Binti Mohd Zaini
ReplyDelete6.30 a.m. Phone’s alarm makes my sleep distracted. Arghhhhh.. Feel lazy to wake up as I sleep late last night. Today, without realize, I’m already become IIUM’s student. 10 days here still doesn’t make me happy. I don’t know why. 1, 2, 3.. Step by step, I go to toilet. Preparing myself for Subuh prayer, breakfast and tidy my room. I hope, my day today will going smoothly and make my day to be remembered.
8.30 a.m. My lecturer, Ustaz Mat Salleh enters to our class a little bit late. Today, as usual, we learn a new topic and then, my lecturer will translate it to English or Malay. From day to day, the quantity of my classmates increases. I have many friends with different backgrounds- ages, careers, races and also nationality. I have Yusha from Bangladesh, and a group of police in my class. I feel so pleasant to friend with all of them. Some of them have same age just like my parents; they can still mingle around with teenagers like me.
12.00 p.m. For lunch, as usual, I only eat my mahallat’s café. No need to go too far. As long as it has something nice to eat, I’ll go there. So, my lunch made up of rice, chicken tom yam, some raw vegetables or ‘ulam’ with sambal belacan together with syrup drink and all these cost only RM 5.50. It’s so cheap! I take my lunch in big portion, so can you guess what I feel when it’s cost only RM 5.50? Of course I feel very happy!*Laughing.
4.00 p.m. At my room, still wondering what I can do now. Because of nothing to do, I try to complete my homework, but I feel lazy. So, I decide to surf internet, chatting and playing games. After that, I’m watching Korean drama even though I’m not a Korean drama fan. I just watch it to fulfill my time.
7.30 p.m. Take a bath and then perform my Maghrib prayer in my room. Recite few pages of Quran. I want to try memorizing back Ad-Dhuha until An-Nas version as there are some part I already forgot. I also want to increase my performance about the rule when read Quran or we called it ‘tajwid’. I hope, my tilawah test on this Friday will be going smoothly. I feel so scared. I really want exempt from it.
8.00 p.m. I feel lazy to go for dinner at café. Just eat few of small doughnuts, it’s enough for tonight. I continue searching for an article that my lecturer wants. Thanks God, I manage to get it. As the time move faster, I feel so tired. So, this is for today. Good night. n_n

I decide to take a deep breath to make my self calm

I get a clue that my friend didn’t see me bringing envelope in my hand. So, the envelope could be in the Library or ITD because I went there before I met my friend. I prepare my self to go to campus. I need to find the envelope and I have medical check up schedule today, so I go to campus earlier.

Im going to go to ITD, but my friend call me that my number for medical check up will be called soon. So, I postpone my plan to go to ITD and I head out to CAC.
11.30 a.m
while I’m waiting to see the doctor, my phone rang. my phone shows unknown phone number. I pick it up and hear unfamiliar girl voice. She tell me that she found my envelope and tell me if I have finished the medical check up, I can find her at ITD. I breath calmly and fell happy to hear that. After I get my envelope, I head out to Copy Centre for copy my offer letter to make a visa.

A day in the life of Hajar
ReplyDelete6.30 a.m. - I could hear the squeaking sounds from my bed as my roommate Laila had her way getting out of her bed. Here in IIUM we’ve got a double-decker bed for each room. Laila is on top and me at the underneath. Without folding my orange blanket, I stumbled out from my bed, making my way to the toilet to take my ablution. Yes, I’m already a bit late for my Subuh prayer. Astaghfirullah.
I opened my blue steel locker; it had 2metres high and a quarter meter wide. Bobby is my Nikon d5100 which I bought three months ago lying silently there. I smiled. Come here Bobby, let us do some photo-shoot this morning. So I set up a mug and an orange on the desk as my subject. After few long minutes, I’ve finished. So I switched on my Bobo, edited the photo that I just snapped. Perfect!
I got up from the chair and went straight to my bed, then I folded my flourish orange blanket, put it under my pillow, and then I grab my fluffy orange dolphin and put it above my pillow. Next one is my desk; I rearranged the messy handouts, some novels of mine and some textbooks. Finished, I said to myself. I grab my blue towel with the symbol of national service on it, got it from my national service program last year and went straight to the toilet even though it’s freaking freeze right now.
10.00 a.m. - On every Tuesday and Thursday, my English class will start at 2.00 p.m. In my case for today, I had to go to the campus earlier because I had to attend my medical checkup. Today I’m wearing yellow kurung and creamy hijab as a match. There! I’m ready. I walked meters away to get to the campus due to the call of the government ‘stay fit stay healthy’. Okay no, I’m lying. I missed the bus.
A day in the life of Hajar continued
ReplyDeleteBesides me Iman, a girl who further her studies here in IIUM far from her hometown, Chat. I could see over there, there was a group of girls who I believed from Indonesia. Two meters away from my sit, there were three Africans guys standing in the mean time waiting for their turn to meet the doctor. This is such a stark different from my last high school where we only had Malaysian people as students.
12.30 p.m. - After long hours of waiting to meet the doctor, my stomach starting to make its funny sound showed that I’m already starving due to skipping today’s breakfast. Then I had my lunch with my friends at a café near the CAC building. I ate white rice with a fried chicken and only drank one glass of plan water. We sit there for minutes, settling down our foods, sharing some stories together, laughed; all these remind me all back way to my old secondary school. I miss that time so much. After done doing that, we walked to the mosque to perform our Zohor prayer. Praise upon Him, in IIUM everyone takes Solah as a serious and compulsory thing to do. I’m happy to be here.
2.00 p.m. - As usual, I took my sit in the front row. Ulfa sits beside me, a friend from Indonesia. She had fair color of skin, wearing creamy scarf, a long sleeves chocolate shirt and a long jean skirt. “The name of this game is The One Bounce Challenge. Okay. Make a group that consist either three or four members, practice this game, then choose the better player from your group to compete with other players” said Brother Matin who is a Canadian, tall, having beard on his face, and those few wrinkles around his eyes making him more likely to a father for me. Tomorrow is holiday, so today Brother Matin decided to make a game. My group consists of four people, me from Malaysia, Ulfa and Dina from Indonesia and Raihana from Syria. I represented my group and managed to be in the final round. Unfortunately, Najm a guy from Afghanistan also as my new classmate beat me in the last round. Alhamdulillah. I had fun today. Thanks Allah.
4.00 p.m. - My friends haven’t finished their classes yet. So I spent my time at the cafeteria with some of my Indonesian friends. We had a few chitchat until Safura and Aisyah finished their classes. We performed our Asar together at the mosque then went straight back to the hostel.
The door was locked. I wonder, is it only me who had finished class today? Suddenly, someone’s answering my salaam from inside. Oh, there’s Puteri my Indonesian roommate. When she opened the door, I smiled at her. Thanks, I said. Had no intention in making any conversation with her, I put myself on my bed with my switched on Bobo, my notebook.
Home works or maybe I could call them assignments. I managed to finish one of the assignments that assigned to me before my eyes starting to close. It’s raining outside, I hug my dolphin and fall asleep.
6.30 p.m. - We ordered some foods for our dinner. I chose a plate of fried rice and plan water for my dinner today. As for Safura she ordered Paprik rice and Milo ice for her drink. We talked about almost everything, how the class so far, what we have learned, what our lecturers look like and not to miss our feelings of being here in IIUM enjoying a life as an undergraduate students.
A day in the life of Hajar continued
ReplyDelete7.30 p.m. - Quiet. All my roommates had already gone back home except Laila and Putri because tomorrow is 16th September, as for Malaysians it’s a public holiday day. I folded my telekung(piece of white cloth used by Muslim woman for solah). Take a deep breath and start thinking. I had lots more assignments that I need to finish. I sat on a black plastic chair provided for each student included a study desk each one. I switched on Bobo. Wait until Bobo progressed normally.
So here I am, doing my assignments. I had to write three days diaries for my next task in class. It’s a bit odd for me because I’m not the diary girl who wrote everything in their journal. But it’s still fine, I’m sure Brother Matin knows why he had given us this kind of assignments. Suddenly my Nokia is ringing. It’s a call from Safura. I pick up. “Hello” I said. Safura asked me to accompany her to the library tonight as she’ll be going to teach a friend of her the Arabic language. And I said “sure, I’ll”.
10.30 p.m. - Lights had been switched off either by Laila or Putri. I’m exhausted and sleepy altogether. Changed my cloth into pajamas, had my ablution and performed Solah Isyak. Finished the Doa I climbed onto my bed, hug my Teddy, cover all my body with the blanket. I hope tomorrow will be much better day than today. InsyaAllah. Good night Mr.journal.
thanks teacher abdulmatin ! :)

I was shock when I saw the name that appear on my phone screen. I got a call from my best friend, Syakira!!!!I’m so excited but at the same time, I’m so sad because I miss her so damn much. We are talking about our new life at new university. I get jealous with her because in University of Malaya, all new student no need to sit for EPT or APT. So they automatically enter the Kulliyah and starting to learn law subject. We are missing each other and planned to meet next Saturday.
12:30 am
Just feel so sad when all the memories in UiTM Shah Alam cross in my mind. I open my laptop and look at all the pictures that have been captured during I complete my foundation programe there. Oh, I really miss that moment. My classmates, my roomates, SACC Mall, and of course Law Faculty.
1:00 am
I’m crying all the nights. But I always trust in God and I believe that something greater awaits me in IIUM. Because my Ustazah have said that, God doesn’t close one door without opening another one. Just prepare for what I pray for. Love and have faith in God. Good night

My parents back to the home although it’s near from the university.

Clean my room and get some rests at the room of mahallah. Mahallah is the other name for hostel, but, it’s in Arabic’s word. Then, I phone my grandma, ask her current healthy, and what are she doing right now. I feel lonely without my family beside me. Lean my body at the bed and remembering what happened to me in 3 days. I’m so happy when I back to the home, spend my time for my mom, and share our stories. Now, I’m going to be hardworking in studies, that what was my mom gave adviced to me.
