2014 has been really a great year for me
there are lots of things going on in 2014 that i will always remember in my whole life!
on the 1st Jan 2014, me and Aflah got robbed. well, its not a great experience for me, but alhamdulillah, we're both safe. i hope those bastards wont be living peacefully for the rest of their lives. this happened chronologically after Mr.Saranghae got the bad news that he was asked to find new home in less than 2weeks, through WhatsApp. yeah, i wont forget and forgive that asshole as well. and i pray each and everyday that u wont be happy. stupid. how can u treat ur friend like that? from that incident, we strive to find money to replace the 2 broken car windows..replace the car's alarm system..find new home..going here and there..then got new home, need more money for the house stuff pulak..yes! i hate that person!
then, due to that bad incidents, we dont really celebrate my birthday like always. it is still sweet of him to celebrate it just the two of us. then, as usual dinner with my brother, my bff Adiana Othman and my cousin Nanne. was one of the best nights in my life. thanks everyone for remembering..
i got accepted for the Global Mobilisation Program to Korea. MrSaranghae and my families were the happiest people to know that im going abroad. despite that i have to be away from everyone i love, i still go and have good time in Korea in February.
I got to experience Cherry Blossom with the people i love in Korea. Ibu came and celebrate her birthday in Korea. as well as MrSarangahe too. he came to visit me in Korea. see how things going with my life over there. hihiks! during my stay, i miss everyone! there are nights where i cried, wanting to go back and i keep on counting days. haha! but then, i really enjoyed myself over there. travelling around Korea. went to places outside Seoul. meet new people. spread my wings. did presentations in few Universities in Korea; Hongik, Hanyang Cyber, Chonnam..being appreciated abroad means a lot to me as here in my own country, they dont even look at my projects. sorry to say, but most friends and lecturers didnt really see what i did, and what are my capabilities.
during my stay in Korea, i got email from the school saying that i was invited to the Dean's List Award Ceremony. but unfortunately for me, i cant attend that event. im too far from Kuala Lumpur at that time.
i tried my luck to apply for Mara Pasca Siswazah thingy..i passed the first round..and sadly for me, i cant attend the interview session which is held in Malaysia. the date cant be changed. so there i am, sadly saying that i refuse the offer.
during my stay in Korea, my bro also got selected to be in exchanged program organized by the Kemanterian Belia dan Sukan. he got to be on Brunei's tv..on Brunei's radio..in Brunei's newspaper EVERYDAY! im superbly jealous and im proud of him at the same time.
and also, my mom got awarded. im proud of her too. well, she raised me and my bro since she got divorced in 2006. since then, me and my bro stayed with her. and since then too, we've been travelling around the world, just three of us. my mom is superbly workaholic. she works from Monday to Sunday 24/7. she's writing this and that..do this and that..go here and there..being recognised across the globe really made me superbly proud to have her as my mom! i love u, Ibu!
as soon as i get back from Korea, i got job! alhamdulillah..while waiting for other universities' offers, i think i should gain some industries experience. so here i am, up till now, here in this company. i can say that i enjoy myself working here. gain more knowledge, meet new people, dealing with them. here, i dont feel pressure as my boss here is very sporting person. he even supported any of my decision when i said that i got into UiTM for my Master. and he also said that i can still work here on the days which i dont have class. cool boss right? i can say that THAT kind of boss is one in a million! hehe! thank you so much for this opportunity, Boss! i cant describe how lucky i am to be here!
the in September, i got accepted into Faculty of Art and Design UiTM. yay! being in there, really made me 'culture shocked'. i didnt know its gonna be like this. i thought, by choosing coursework will get me to produce stuffs like what i did during my diploma and degree years..but unfortunately, its not. for master level, i was told that, its more on academic writing. more on critical thinking. more on opinions and supported with other academic journals. so thats when i know why not all continue their studies after degree. its kinda hard. it requires me to read more on journals, and keep on updating myself with latest technologies and last arguments about them. yes, its suffocating! juggling between work and studies. but as i said earlier, im lucky to have such a supportive Boss. there is where i got my peace of mind, and it really helps me in my studies. and again, thank you Boss!
then i got featured to be in the Newspaper! its more like a sharing articles on my experience in Korea. again, my face is in the paper! oh yea, almost forgot, during the Hari Raya i also got featured in the newspaper for the hari raya wishes from abroad. hihiks!
apart of going to Korea, this year i also got to go to other Asian countries; HK, Shenzhen and Macau. they were great places to go! Shenzhen is where i got crazy shopping for handbags and gadgets! we're shopping like a mad people. we bought almost everything that we touched. haha! and unlucky for us, the Chinese didnt accept the credit card. only card with Union Pay is accepted (-.-') so we kinda have to control ourselves. hahahhaha! from Shenzhen, then we move to Hong Kong. HK is much modern. lots of foreigners. here, we enjoy the city than shopping. we went on the Big Bus for sight seeing. we took the tour package offered together with the Big Bus. we went to The Peak, Madam Taussaud's, HK Ocean Park and few more other places. then, from HK, we went to Macau to hangout for a bit and get to taste its famous egg tarts :)
a part from the sweet sweet things happened, there are also bitter moments.
in November (if im not mistaken) my dad was diagnosed with minor eye stroke. that news totally broke my heart. i dont know how to help. looking at him, not being able to do things that he love to do is really broke my heart. but alhamdulillah, he is getting better and better each and everyday..
