So, basically from 2, we've move on to 3 and now it's 4 :) Lepas ni nak panjang kaki ke mana pulak :p

So, I do love korean food. But, just some of it. Not all. Please exclude kimchi. Can't eat kimchi. Hate kimchi. Haha. I can't brain the taste of kimchi. Brrrrrrr....

However, I major love tteokbokki or rice cake. Dia tepung beras je sebenarnya. Uli uli smpi jadi kenyal or chewy. I major love makanan yang chewy2 ni. You can find this ready made tteokbokki in Jusco Aeon. It doesnt have halal logo, but for me, for this kind of food that doesnt have halal logo on it, you can simply check the ingredients. So the ingredients for this tteokbokki are just rice flour and salt. Maybe water. Still, if you're unsure, takpayah beli. Senang. Haha. As for me, I think there's nothing to be worried about.

So basically, as i've mentioned, i hate kimchi or anything that taste quite similar to it. Pastu masakan mcm cili tak masak tu pun i tak berapa suka. For example, dlm menu spicy rice cake or spicy tteokbokki in any korean restaurant, contains some sort of spicy not so cooked chilli in it together w the rice cake. Well, i love the rice cake, but not the chilli. Erghh

So yeah, made some flavour improvisation. As the rice cake itself is tasteless, so what's important is the sauce you made with it. So i used carbonara sauce to be paired w this rice cake. Yummmm. Benda paling senang nak masak, 5 minit dah siap. Paling malas, kalau tak tambah apa2 dlm carbonara tu pun takpe. Masak apa yg ada dlm tin tu je.

Oh plus kalau beli ready made kt jusco tu, instruction dia dlm korean. Haha. So just simply rebus, or steam sekejap sampai rice cake tu lembut. Then masak carbonara dan msuk skali rice cake dalam tu.

To anyone who love rice cake but love-hate the chilli, you should try this :) Happy eating!

I'm starting to pack all my stuff already. I really want to bring my ducks along but i dont think they can fit in there unfortunately. Tak tahu barang apa yg patut dikurangkan sbb important things to bring along itself dah terbuak2 tak muat. Haih. Most of my clothes are 'jubah' so they kinda take a lot of space in there. I tried to roll them, but i think it cost bigger space to do that and i guess its better when it's fold. So I repack my stuff, do it all over again. BUT, still can't fit in all my stuff. Girls. Haha. And, I don't think my winter coat can fit in anywhere because it's too 'furry' hahaha. Gosh I'm worried. how can i bring all of these in one large luggage plus a hand luggage n a handbag ?

Last thing to do is to meet a doctor, dentist and what not. Packing is so not my thing. Urghh.

One thing I know is that, on the same day, there will be tons of other students who fly on the same day probably on the same plane as me. So going there alone, I think, it's kinda ok.

At last, after years, korang jejak jugak kat rumah aku ni. Thanks guys sebab sudi datang. Thanks sbb habiskan lipstick aku. Hahahah. Siap korang lepas ni.

Sometimes i think i miss you, sometimes suddenly i thought about you, sometimes i think i hate you for some reason, sometimes i think i'm the one who is lacking here and there, at the end, i still love you despite your strength and weakness. Thank you for this friendship :)






So, basically what happen on that saturday was that i had to atend to UWE pre-departure briefing in KL while them - staying at my house hahaha.


I'm pretty excited but not so confident at the same time. They were quite a number of malaysians who go to UWE but, mostly chinese la of course.

So yeah, masih lagi tak jumpa flatmate or coursemate. Just, uni mate. Haha.

Maigad rindunya nak tulis cerpen. Baru je lepas recall rabbit vs onion (you can find yourself this stories at my post list on your right side). How I wish to start again my writing habits.

During my school days, I always find myself extra time, pen and paper to write something despite my pack schedule, nak menari, berlatih, rehearsel, siapkan portfolio and stuff, but sebelum tidur or during prep time, i mesti spend some time to write and berangan. Thats how i filled my stressful packed kinda days. Missing my high school days though :/

Recently, i found my cerpen collection that i kept in a file after so long. Mcm dah berlapuk sbb lama dia tersimpan kat dalam tu haha. As the 'cerpens' were made during my high school days, with high school kid kinda thinking, and the not so mature kinda writing, so i did found that my writings are some kind of embarassment that i can't explain in word. HAHAHA. It really is. Malunya. Apakah.

Can't imagine why would i write something like that. Haha. Semua pasal high school love and college love. I've passed my college days, so i was like, "my cerpen are soooooo not logic" hahahha. There's nothing like that in college ok. Manis, kuat berangan. Haha. Of course la, nama pun cerita kan. Reka2 ikut rasa. As i'm not the kind of person that like to be involved in love-hate relationship, so in my real life i never had a boyfriend and thats why cerpen are all like "possible but not possible". You get me? Mcm cerita korea la kan. It is something that you want or you had it in your mind, but at the end - jangan berangan la, there's nothing like that in real life. Hahahhahaha

So now, i mcm dah bole 'brain' sikit my writings, so i think mcm nk mula menulis balik.
You think ? :)

This is a great way to manage your stress. I mean my stress. hahaha.
Bought this book at mph, coloring book for adults katanya. Think i'm gonna buy more.
Definitely coloring is not only for kids.

A month to go. Ramainya orang yg saya nak jumpa, banyak nya benda nk kena beli, bnyknya urusan nak kena buat.
Nak dekat setahun dah duduk rumah. Haha. Otak dah beku. Mcm mana ni? Hihi.

I'm looking forward towards my upcoming journey. Such a long way to go.

Assalamualaikum, Salam Aidilfitri  Maaf Zahir Batin :)

It's been quite some time is it? Cepat je masa berlalu. Ramadhan dah pun meninggalkan kita, dan sekarang semua orang mesti tgh sibuk beraya.

Anyways, lucky me Alhamdulillah dapat merasa puasa time winter di aussie :) Subuh on 5.50am, maghrib on 5.03pm. Huwahaha. So, as my sister dah ada dekat Melbourne for some sort of winter camp, so i decided utk jenjalan dengan dia for about 7-8 days in aussie-Melbourne and Sydney. So as it was just the two of us, we did plan our journey. Well, thoroughly. Haha. It was not a detailed plan, but after all our holiday went pretty well and i did lose some weight sebab jalan kaki banyak sgt HAHA.

We didn't rent any car and travel only by public transport. Trams, trains and buses. Thats all. Penat sikit jalan but after all it was pretty cold especially in Melb so takdelah rasa mcm nak marah je bila kena jalan jauh-jauh. Hahaha. I find it quite interesting to travel to places only by public transport especially when malaysia punya public transport cam .............. . Heh. Well we are developing country so that's the difference dengan developed country.

Alah pegi tempat biasa2 je - yg semua org pegi bila smpi Melb and Sydney.



We did a little bit of shopping on the first day, looking for winter clothes and what not. Heading to Mount Buller on the next day. Yeehaaa


It was a 3 hours journey. I've booked tickets and packages from http://www.alzburgtours.com.au/ . It was a good deal and i'm quite satisfied with their hospitality. However it was around 300-400 AUD (sbb 2 orang) kalau nak puas main. Tapi tak puas sgt sbb limited time kan. Pick up time is 5.30am (sahur dalam bas), sampai Mt Buller at 10am cmtu.


As it was winter, we don't have much time to wander around. Nak kena bukak puasa and carik makanan lagi, plus its just two of us, perempuan pulak tu, so taknak la balik malam sgt. Overall, we went to Brighton Beach, Ripponlea House and Garden, Victoria Market, Sydney Road, and lain2 tu jenjalan around city, hentam naik trams and train. Tak naik bus sgt kat Melb.








K malas nak update yg sydney punya. Nanti update. Bye :)

Exactly 13 days after you have taken the exam, they will sent to you the TRF (test report form) - your results. I really thought that my heart was going to burst waiting for the 13th day. Hahaha. It did actually. But not vividly haha!

Previously, I was a Public Administration (AM110) student and officially graduated last May. Untuk lepasan diploma, memang agak sukar sikit kalau nak further studies ke luar negara, sebab kadang-kadang tak memenuhi requirements foreign universities. So, pesanan pertama untuk adik-adik lepasan spm, aku nasihatkan amiklah STPM kalau betul ada angan2 nak sambung oversea. Atau, access yang palng dekat ialah buat foundation/A-level. Paling bagus, apply la scholarship MARA atau JPA. But, for those yang da terlepas peluang tu (macam aku), dont worry. Untuk budak lepasan diploma, I'll briefly explain to you the things that you need to do untuk apply.

Masa aku mula2 nak apply, banyak lah blog yang aku buka dan baca. Bukan tak membantu, tapi tak guide dari awal. Macam tiba2 amik ielts la bla3. So mula2 skali apa?

1) Firstly, untuk dapat hasil yg terbaik dlm pemilihan universiti, cariklah authorized agent. Dekat setiap negeri, mesti ada education agent utk futher studies ni, MESTI ada. So kena rajin google.
Nak tgk list agent klik sini
Agent yang aku pegi pulak ialah JM Edu Counselling Ipoh branch klik sini

Lepasan diploma, korang pun tahu, lama nk settle diploma kan? dalam 2 tahun stengah. So, kalau nak transfer credit (smbung degree msuk 2nd year), cariklah agent ni. Korang tak payah susah2 nak apply sendiri apa semua. Jumpa pihak agent, dan dia akan bagi free consultation. and fyi, service agent ni absolutely FREE. Memang tak kena bayaran apa2. So klu kena bayar tu, tipu kot. Maka yg paling penting ialah carik authorized agent dulu. Kemudian, jumpa face to face, mintak pendapat and so on. Lebih2 document yang lain, mcm reference letter ke, passport copy ke ic ke, dia akan mntak bila perlu. Senang cerita, semua dia bagitau. Tanya lah apa je yang korang nak tau pasal universiti ke apa ke.

2) Kedua ialah check ranking universiti dan specific course yang korang nak mohon. Bidang apa yg korang nak smbung tu. Business ke arts ke law ke. Harus google dan ambil tahu. Course tu brapa tahun, perlu ielts ke tidak, dan sebagainya.  Lepas dah rasa mcm confirm nak course apa, kat mana and whatnot, boleh la consult lagi dengan agent.
Nak check ranking uni boleh tekan sini atau sini

3) Ketiga, boleh start apply beberapa universiti. Mcm aku, agent aku provide application form (yg agent je ada). Lagi awal apply, lagi bagus. Cepat urusan settle, Apply la seberapa banyak universiti pun. Jangan fikir pasal dapt ke tak offer, yang penting apply.

4) Keempat, IELTS. Bila dah tgk requirement by universities, of course english requirement mesti kena ada. Mostly, uni di UK,  memang nak IELTS. So takyah la susahh2 pikir pasal english test yang lain2 tu. Just fokus pada IELTS.

Basically, IELTS lebih kurang MUET. Tapi level dia tinggi sikit and speaking test dia individual. I think the latest fee ialah RM650 per registration. Ramai orang ambil bnyk kali sebab tak lepas. Sayang, tolonglah sayang duit. RM650 kot per exam. So, make sure prepare mcm orang gila ok? Usually minimum requirement utk IELTS ialah at least overall band 6.0 with no less 5.5 in each section (Reading, Listening, Writing, Speaking)
Boleh la start korek2 website ielts dan check date utk amik exam klik sini utk check date ielts
IELTS bole register dekat agent jugak, tak payah susah2 register online sendiri.

Seterusnya...

Kemudian maybe dalam sebulan dua tiga bulan, korang akan dapat reply dari universiti, utk bagi sama ada conditional offer atau unconditional offer atau tak dapat offer.
Conditional offer ialah offer bersyarat. Syarat yang uni tu tetapkan harus dipenuhi, barulah kamu bole terima offer tu.
Unconditional offer ialah offer tanpa syarat. Makananya dah dapat tempat dah kat uni tu. Tahniah haha.

Kalau bnyak uni yang diapply, mungkin bnyk la offer dpt. banyaklah pilihan. Atau, at least satu dari banyak2 tu mesti bagi offer punya.

Lepas dah dapat offer, ielts pun dah lepas, boleh la pilih mana2 offer yg anda suka. Ini cuma BRIEF EXPLANATION je tau. Tak detail mana pun. Hehe.

p/s : Pasal sponsorship ke loan ke apa ke, maaf tak dapat nk bantu sgt, Hoho

so, in my next post, i'll tell you more about my ielts and some few tips bout it :)

so here's the thing.

Jadual konvo lambat keluar. So, before then, I've already paid for IELTS and chosen the date which was on 16th May 2015 (sebab kat ipoh hanya pada 16 May sahaja). Few weeks later, bila jadual konvo dah keluar, it was unfortunate for me as sidang i happen to be on 16th May juga, pada waktu yang sama, 7.30am. So, at that time, i thought macam sayanglah kalau tak pegi konvo. Boleh tukar tarikh, tapi kena add on beberapa ratus lagi and bla3 bnyk plak proses dia. So, originally, I've decided untuk still pegi konvo, tpi sebelah petang - lepas sidang and ielts i settle. Takpe lah, tak naik pentas pun, at least I pegi and dapat juga jumpa kawan-kawan.

But...... On 16th May, sampai je dkat location untuk ambil exam, I pun tgk giliran untuk speaking.
PUKUL 4.30pm. At least half an hour bru settle. So my original plan cancel mcm tu je, sbb tak sempat pun nak ke Shah Alam. Maka, pada hari tersebut aku pun ambil la ielts sewaktu kawan-kawan sedang beratur ambil sijil atas pentas. Sad me. But it was all worth it after all. I'll share with you my ielts results, tips and macam mana nak apply oversea untuk lepasan diploma. :)

p/s ; when it comes to few things yang kita rasa there's only 0.1% chance, its ok. take it, and make it worth. tambah dengan usaha dan doa, 0.1%  chance pun kita boleh dapat InsyaAllah :)






 Anyways, nasib baik waktu pegi ambil jubah, kitorang pun dahh buat pre-convo beria2. So at least I ada jugak gamba dengan kawan2. As you can see from my previous post, my graduation pictures were totally plain and biasa2. Takde sijil or flowers. Just me in jubah konvo, and my family in white. Fair enough :)

16th May 2015

Bismillah. Dahh berhabuk pun blog ni. hehe :)

Completing a diploma in uitm was not that hard, but it was not easy either. Untuk terus buat sesuatu yg kita tak minat utk jangka masa 2 tahun stengah agak emm annoying. But, whatever it is, I DAH SETTLE diploma, on time, tanpa repeat, or fail or etc. Alhamdulillah, syukur ya Allah. Menghabiskan diploma di Merbok Sg.Petani rasam cam..... "Errr tanak duk espee (SP=sg petani) lagi dah, boring!" haha. Apa pun, atas sokongan semua org yg ada di sekeliling aku, aku pun dah berjaya utk level yang tak seberapa ni and sekarang dah ready untuk melangkah lebih jauh lagi.
