assignment oh assignment!

hi everyone!
yup.i know.all of u have already known what am i going to write.the feeling of "stressness" and f""ked up due to piles of assignments that buried my prosperous and joyous life.yes.u guys know the feeling.i dun have to describe it further.i know all of my friends(especially ones who are in my course) currently have lots of assignments to be submitted.well, i'll have nothing to say to you except for good luck and gambate!.

i'm in the midst(or should i say in the beginning?)of finishing up my assignment.i have one to submit next week and one the week after.luckily, i have one week off starting 27/9 until 5/10 and that means i can celebrate raya without worrying to miss classes.hehehe..

out of all these, i still enjoy my life tho. i just received my allowances.yeay!.for 5 months.and i was so happy.i shouted my heart out when i heard the news.there are so many things that i want to do with the money.hehehe.but i'll keep it to myself.no need to share with u guys.

that's all.have a blast ramadhan everyone!

cheers,
zaim

hello from malaysia!

today, i was so excited. my long-awaited parcel (not that long actually..hehe) has arrived. this morning, before i went to work, i went downstairs to the admin office to see whether my parcel has arrived. and it did.and i came to a decision to take it after i finished my work today.

here's the parcel:
as u can see it was a mosquito's coils box.haha.i dun mind with the box.the important part is the contains.


and here's what inside:

these were just a few of what's inside. i think the parcel this time was quite heavy compared to the last time my sis sent me. this parcel was given to me from my family specially for ramadhan.and u can see the pic of instant "ketupat".and that's for hari raya.definitely!

thanks to my family again.really appreciate it.i got lotsa keropok ikan.hehe.and kerepek too.hhmm all time cravings!.

that's all from me.
chow!

cheers,
zaim

current updates

hi peeps!
today is the 10th day of ramadhan.that's mean i have fasted for 9 days and i have 20 more days to complete the fasting.thrilled yet sad coz i like fasting!(what a statement!)

ok my current updates since the last post that i've posted:

a) last week was very tiring. i worked for 22 hours in a week!.gosh.it was a hell of experience coz i was fasting and working at the same time. luckily i managed to go through that successfully.i dun "tinggal my puasa la".dun wori readers...

b) i went for my last school visit on monday the 8th. i hve a mixed feelings on that. i'm happy yet sad(again!).i love the school. i love the children. i like the teachers.what else could we get from such a prestigious school in brisbane.i wish i'll be send to such school when i go for my teaching in 2011.God help me!

c)i've just submitted my MDB349 assignment yesterday.it was the second part of the assignment. i stiill need to submit another 2 parts which due in october.thank GOD!.that was my first time doing the assignment last minute. i did it in the morning and i need to submit it in the afternoon.alhamdulillah, i managed to finish it.that was my punishment for being so lazy these days. but i can't help it!this semester i feel so lazy and demotivated to learn. i dunno how.compared to last semester which i think i was much more motivated and eager to learn.huhu.

d)laziness. i'm so malas these days.i dunno why.i'd rather stay in my room and sleep the whole day than to go out.maybe it's because of the fasting.

e) yesterday i received a message from my mother. she said she dreamt about me.i was so touched. i called her right after that and asked her condition.she's ok.my father also was ok.there were only the two of them in the house. i was asking her,"Mak, makan pe buka hari ni?" and she replied "Makan ikan goreng ngan sayur masak bening je..yela kan mak ngan abah je kat umah."and i was touched.again.but i was not worried coz my sis will come back every weekends during ramadhan.and my parents will have a company for buka puasa.sorry mak n abah, if Australia were just 2 hours away from malaysia, i'll go back everyday to buka puasa with you.huhu.

that;s all from me.i'd better get ready to go to work.luckily today i'll only work for 3 hours.wish me luck!thanks again.

cheers,
zaim

first day of fasting

salam to everyone.

first day of fasting outside malaysia and far away from home.how was it feel?to be frank, i felt nothing.wakaka.i just went through the whole day like any other days.tired, sleepy,bored.same as usual.nothing's different.ok let me tell you a bit about my activities for today:

3.45am: woke up to eat my sahur.i ate a bowl of soup and a few bread. i dunno why i woke up when usually i didn't.maybe it's the spirit of being in a situation where i myself have to take care of my own self.hehehe.klaka gler!

5.00am: perform my subuh prayer and went back to sleep.zzzzzzzzzzzz!!

7.40am: woke up to go to erika's class.i was so shocked when i saw my clock.i had only 20 mins to get myself ready for class.i bathed super quick and dressed super fast.luckily i did managed to get there before 8.00am.pheww!

8.00am:erika's class started.a few groups were presenting their microteaching.and after that we were learning and discussing on teaching vocabulary and words to students.i was so bored and nearly slept.haha.as usual!

11.30am:went to work.before that i stopped by at the bank to deposit an amount of money.my salary!hehehe.

12.00pm:started working at the kebab store.

3.00pm: finished working.went to a few stores to search for a container to fill up the soy sauce at my house.thank God i found one of those.decided to walk back to my house (which in the end i regretted it). i felt my legs were starting to dislocate from its proper location.maybe it's because of the effects of standing for 3 hours and started walking non-stop right after that.

4.30pm: reached home safely.fuhh.started to plan what to cook for "buka puasa".asked syefah to come over to cook(she's like a chef imported to our house).hehe.finally we decided to eat fish fillets and egg plant "sambal".yumyum.plus jg was extremely generous to donate her pizza to us.
and one more thing.syefah also made "roti jala".the dining table was covered with all the delicacies which made us eager to wait for the time to "buka puasa" came.and finally we did "buka puasa".

6.10pm: went to digital media class.at first i was hesitated to go but thinking of missing the class in the previous weeks made me felt that i need to go to the class.the class was sooooooooooooo bored. i did a podcast and presented it to the whole class.i kept looking at the clock because i wanted to go back early to watch Australian Idol.but i missed the show.huahua.dun wori.i'll vote for Chrislyn.go Brisbane!

9.00pm.watch tv and gossipping as always.

and now i'm writing this blog.yeah that's all happening today.if you find it cool, you must be out of your mind.if you find it frustrating, you should do a lot of soul searching and self reflection.anyways, it depends on how you perceive it.

chow~

lotsa love,
zaim

ramadhan al-mubarak

hello peeps...
ramadhan's here.and i am glad that it's here coz i've waited for so long for it to come.it's just because i want to experience a totally different environment of fasting this year coz i'm in Australia and far from my beloved home.sob~

anyways, i'm looking forward on that.today is the first day of ramadhan and i've just eaten my post-midnight meal(sahur la tue).i ate a bread and a bowl of soup.just dun have the mood to cook any meal.plus i'm lazy oredi!..actually i miss my mum's voice waking me up to eat sahur.but today,right now, i didn't hear that which made me sad.plus i miss eating with my family and my mom's cooking.wuahawuahawuaha.no worries u guys.i'm not crying, i'm just sad.but yeah.like i said, i want to experience new environment.i know i can do it.

the first day of ramadhan will be a tiring day for me.as all my mondays will always be. i'll have class at 8am with beloved erika and at 6pm with Shaun.plus i'm working today which sometimes makes me wonder how am i going to go through today's activity.but i have to be strong.i need to.

looking forward for the experience today.will update soon about that.

till then,
bye.
