Bittersweet Symphony

haha, hari ni rase cam time skola rendah dulu. kene marah dalam library sebab guna mobile. i am convinced that that makcik was in a bad mood. my tutorialmates were exchanging contact numbers after our design project discussion, and suddenly she came and scolded us (yes scolded, like ur teacher scolded u coz u pissed in ur pants?) everyone in the library became spectators, but none dare to lift their head. and tak pasal2, got fined 1 pound. that is 7 ringgit man! we kept on insisting that we weren't causing any disturbance and it was purely exchanging numbers, but she kept on babbling about bla bla policies bla bla notices bla bla, and a few minutes later she actually came again and put the penny box in front of us for the 1pound fine! and scolded us again and argueing with one of my tutorialmate since he didn't have a pound with him, and threaten to keep his swipe card! poor makcik, she must really in a very bad mood. and my poor tutorial mate, he was furious since without the swipe card he can't enter his hall.. duuh. and they went to settle it outside the library (fuyooo), and i just wasted 1pound for that silly mobile phone.

lesson for today: do not underestimate a makcik with a very unpredictable mood. and switch off ur mobiles in the library. *sigh*

Megalomania

Dearest friend,

Are you having a problem? You got the position for a reason right, but seems like you feel challenged, or so I thought. It should be chanelled to a positive direction, try to improve each other. You can't even spot who's good at what and who's not, but you can always ask, but you didn't. I don't blame you, I was intimidated too while I was there, but alhamdulillah the experience improved me a lot, and it was not a waste at all. But humans, I can predict it is ego, but people can't have too much of it, some more unneccessarily. It just pulls you down. Quicksand. The more you think of it, the more you struggle. And when you struggle, you will definitely sink. And then, you'll need help. Please scream, if it doesn't hurt too much of your ego.

Apocalypse Please

The most anticipated moment has arrived. The design feedback session. I was too anxious, until I have no feelings left. Until Alex said, "Why Aulfah, you look wooried.." He's the only foreigner who pronounces my name perfectly, as he said it sounds so German. heh.

And with the help from Allah, the feedback was a total surprise. We did, as Prof Richardson put it, "bloody well considering only 3 people working on it.." And that paper was my first A in IC. Nothing much some people might say, but thinking back on how I worry myself to death during those two excruciating weeks really made this result a total paid off.

There's a first in everything. My first failed paper. Fluid Mechanics Mastery paper. heh. I can either pass or fail the paper, with 80% passing mark, but I chose to key in wrong value for that question and nonchalantly round off that value for this question. And phooff... Well better to get a slap in the face now, so that I'll remember it forever.

And today I get another "I'm not Sir yet." from Alex. And Prof Richardson cheekily said "How about My Lord for him?" :P They are just irritatingly irresistable :)

Tonight, the night before Eid, I'm sleeping over at Beit Hall. The hall. With friends from Cardiff, Lancaster, we cooked pulut kuning, trifle, soto, nasi dagang, lompat tikam (or whatever it is :P),.. yeszaaaa... after a very long day.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri pada semua. Maaf Zahir Batin. :)

Somewhere Over The Rainbow

yea project submitted! Alhamdulillah. :)

Yesterday while walking with Shan back to Evelyn Gardens after iftar at PR, I uttered "shan, aku tetibe teringin nak makan chocolate la.." and that is the first one in London. I am lucky I am not that fond of chocolate, so I don't really buy them much. In fact, since the first day in UK, haven't spend a penny on any chocolate. Even the chocolate that Willis Jackson seniors gave us on our arrival day are still untouched, sitting there beside the room phone. But yesterday, chocolate craving suddenly overwhelmed. hmm.

Went to IC Union Shop couple of days ago, hoping to get a diary (imperative to get organized these days :P). Unfortunately, one diary which has Imperial College emblem on it (and also the cheapest of all) is out of stock. Went out empty handed. :(

Today, while iftar at the prayer's room, there was a big plate filled with cadbury's chocolates. And one sister from ISoc reminded us to pick up the free FOSIS Student Diary on our way out later.

I am so blessed. :)

Kapal Terbang Kertas

Tolonglah rakan-rakan setutorialku. Kenapa kau orang tak nak menyumbangkan idea? Bahasa Inggeris saya lagi hampeh tapi saya terus bercakap walaupun terkadang merepek.

Macam mana tugasan rekaan projek nak siap ni? :(
