Dear 2015,
Through this year, I had faced lots of joy and heartbreaks. Ups and downs of life. I guess this is how you face your life every day. Praise to Allah SWT who truly helps me every day, from every seconds and every breath I take.
Mom and dad,
Thanks for being with this spoiled child of yours until now. Both of your never ending supports and du'a were with me every time. Thank you for all the love and blessings both of you had gave me all along.
Friends,
For those who see me at my worst and still be with me till the end, you're the best I could have. To be truth, sometimes I doubt myself "Am I worthy to be your friend? You all deserve better" but still, all of you stick with me through thick and thin, and I'm grateful.
To those I had hurt consciously or unconsciously, I'm truly sorry. Even I cannot handle myself well sometimes and maybe I end up hurting you without I'm knowing.
Dear 2016,
I had my jolly days where a single streak of sunshine could make me smile, single drop from the heaven could calm my head, great people around me and others. But as we know, dark days will follow too. I had been torn apart, I had those sleepless nights and teary eyes, I had many hollow thoughts that they suffocate me every time I can't barely breath, I had my heart broken so many times. Sometimes I wonder too how many times do I have to face these anymore.
2015, you taught me how to be strong and I hope I had learned all the lessons you gave
2016, I'm ready

Assalamualaikum..
Hi everyone. Hope everyone are in good health.
First thing first, I would like to apologize because I rarely updated my blogs now (especially those stories about my journey to Australia). For your information, I'm finishing my final year thesis and projects now, so I'm quite busy to write any entries.
Too much work, too little motivation. Haha. I promise once I finish all these "chaos" I'll return to write again in here. So stay tuned okay! Luv ya!
Okay gotta go. Do pray for my strength and success okay. See you next time ;-)

stressed, confused, i just wanna sleep
Assalamualaikum..
Apa habaq semua? As promised aku pernah cakap nak cerita tentang GISO group aku ke Melbourne, Australia hari tu kan? So this is the starter. Sebelum sibuk dengan kerja-kerja final year student dan tak ada masa nak menulis, let me tell you about my first day there.
Oleh kerana semua daripada kami first time jejak Australia ni, maka kami pakai khidmat agent XploreVIC Private Tours. Boleh ushar service diorang kat http://www.xplorevic.com/
Sesampainya dekat Melbourne International Airport, kami stuck agak lama dekat bahagian imigresen. Akhirnya, hasil toleransi antara guru pengiring kami, dengan pakcik yang jaga kaunter tu, group kami check out dari kaunter imigresen secara group (5 orang sekali check out). Alhamdulillah. Kalau tak lagi lama kami stuck kat situ. Kami disambut oleh Bro Hamzah from Xplorevic as our private tour guide sepanjang 6 hari kami berada di sana.
Keluar je daripada airport, masyaallah, sejuknyaaa!!! Macam masuk dalam peti ais tiba-tiba. Maklumlah Melbourne masa tu tengah pengakhiran musim sejuk. Salji dah takde tapi angin sepoi-sepoi tu masih lagi sejuk tahap perghhh.

Lepas tu kami beramai-ramai naik bas ke tempat penginapan kami iaitu IBIS budget hotel. Nama je budget hotel tapi dia punya service sangatlah tip top. Memang sangat puas hati menginap kat situ. Oh ya lupa, nama driver bas kami tersebut ialah Uncle Jimmy atau panggil dia Jim sahaja. Baik orangnya, suka sembang-sembang dengan kitorang.
Siap check in hotel, letak barang semua, kami pergi lunch dulu. Dah masuk tengahari. Kami lunch di Little Ipoh. Satu restoran yang semua makanan melayu kat sini. Owner dia pun melayu. Sepanjang kami kat sana, Little Ipoh nilah tempat kami makan. Sesiapa yang memang tekak melayu sangat tak boleh makan western maka bolehlah berkunjung kat Little Ipoh ni masa kat Melbourne.

| depan Little Ipoh, baru lepas makan hehe |
Habis makan, kami bergerak ke RMIT University untuk sesi forum bersama IKRAM Australia di sana. Forum berkisar tentang kemerdekaan disampaikan oleh bro Muiz, student Malaysia dekat RMIT, course chemical engineering. Tapi forum kami stop sekejap sebab nak kejar masa dan ikut schedule. Maka kami pun bergerak ke State Library of Victoria. Jalan kaki sajo dari RMIT. To be honest, duduk dalam bandar Melbourne ni memang banyak jalan kaki, takpun kalau malas sangat naik basikal atau trams di sekitar city tu. Memang budaya diorang macam tu.

State Library of Victoria ni boleh dikatakan library tertua la yang ditubuhkan di sana. Bahagian dalaman dia macam gambar di atas, yang bahagian bawah tu tempat study dan tingkat-tingkat atas pula umpama muzium. Umpama muzium tu means, ada pameran barang-barang sejarah berserta penerangannya. Memang best sangat konsep library ni. Kat luar library pula ada dua set chess yang macam pakcik-pakcik kat atas ni main. Aku tak sempat nak main sebab masa tu kedua-dua set ni dah ada orang tengah main. So, hanya snap gambar orang lain sahajalah. Haha. Guide dalam library tu pula ialah bro Alex.

Memang setiap inci library tu bro Alex ni brief kitorang. Kat sini kena keep up dengan diorang punya english sikit. Australian english mungkin lain sikit slang dia daripada english biasa dan diorang pun cakap laju woi. Biasalah kan.
Habis je dekat library ni, kami sambung forum dekat RMIT. Boleh pula macam tu kan? Hahaha memang pon. Forum kami berakhir dengan jayanya juga.
 |
| dengan IKRAM Australia |
Habisnya program untuk first day, kami bergerak ke salah satu laman dalam RMIT University ni. Masing-masing macam dah ntah pape. Maklumlah first day kat negara orang kan. Haha
 |
| ready nak lompat semua haha |
Kami buat sesi post mortem program dekat laman ni juga. Plan untuk hari esok semua. Siang hari ok lagi suhu kat sana dalam 10 °C. Tapi bila menjelang malam, turun dekat 6°C jugak lah. Mengigil sampai berlaga gigi kot sebab tak biasa dengan suhu.
So, macam ni lah first day kami di Melbourne. Jetlag tak habis lagi turun flight terus start program. Tabah mereka semua ni haha.

Day 1 dah habis, tunggu aku cerita Day 2 pulak nanti kay :)
Assalamualaikum..
Hello everyone. I know I promised a post about my journey to Melbourne before this. But hey, I found something interesting and I thought to share it with you guys. I hope these help you to understand these type of people. People like... umm well, people like ME! Okay don't waste any time. Let's read.
10 MYTHS ABOUT INTROVERTS BY CARL KING
Myth #1 : Introverts don’t like to talk.
This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days.
Myth #2 : Introverts are shy.
Shyness has nothing to do with being
an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they
need is a reason to interact. They don’t interact for the sake of
interacting. If you want to talk to an Introvert, just start talking.
Don’t worry about being polite.
Myth #3 : Introverts are rude.
Introverts often don’t see a reason
for beating around the bush with social pleasantries. They want everyone
to just be real and honest. Unfortunately, this is not acceptable in
most settings, so Introverts can feel a lot of pressure to fit in, which
they find exhausting.
Myth #4 : Introverts don’t like people.
On the contrary, Introverts
intensely value the few friends they have. They can count their close
friends on one hand. If you are lucky enough for an introvert to
consider you a friend, you probably have a loyal ally for life. Once you
have earned their respect as being a person of substance, you’re in.
Myth #5 : Introverts don’t like to go out in public.
Nonsense.
Introverts just don’t like to go out in public FOR AS LONG. They also
like to avoid the complications that are involved in public activities.
They take in data and experiences very quickly, and as a result, don’t
need to be there for long to “get it.” They’re ready to go home,
recharge, and process it all. In fact, recharging is absolutely crucial
for Introverts.
Myth #6 : Introverts always want to be alone.
Introverts are
perfectly comfortable with their own thoughts. They think a lot. They
daydream. They like to have problems to work on, puzzles to solve. But
they can also get incredibly lonely if they don’t have anyone to share
their discoveries with. They crave an authentic and sincere connection
with ONE PERSON at a time.
Myth #7 : Introverts are weird.
Introverts are often individualists.
They don’t follow the crowd. They’d prefer to be valued for their novel
ways of living. They think for themselves and because of that, they
often challenge the norm. They don’t make most decisions based on what
is popular or trendy.
Myth #8 : Introverts are aloof nerds.
Introverts are people who
primarily look inward, paying close attention to their thoughts and
emotions. It’s not that they are incapable of paying attention to what
is going on around them, it’s just that their inner world is much more
stimulating and rewarding to them.
Myth #9 : Introverts don’t know how to relax and have fun.
Introverts typically relax at home or in nature, not in busy public
places. Introverts are not thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies. If
there is too much talking and noise going on, they shut down. Their
brains are too sensitive to the neurotransmitter called Dopamine.
Introverts and Extroverts have different dominant neuro-pathways. Just
look it up.
Myth #10 : Introverts can fix themselves and become Extroverts.
A
world without Introverts would be a world with few scientists,
musicians, artists, poets, filmmakers, doctors, mathematicians, writers,
and philosophers. That being said, there are still plenty of techniques
an Extrovert can learn in order to interact with Introverts. (Yes, I
reversed these two terms on purpose to show you how biased our society
is.) Introverts cannot “fix themselves” and deserve respect for their
natural temperament and contributions to the human race. In fact, one
study (Silverman, 1986) showed that the percentage of Introverts
increases with IQ.
