Speak!

Like always, I did not fall asleep during MEEL 01 class. We just won’t feel sleepy in that class. Other than provocations, there were lots of discussions all way through. One question needed more than half an hour towards its exact answer. Well, one of the topics I can still remember is about ‘non-starchy vegetables’. Lots of arguments get into our way and it was clearly a healthy kind of debate. This reminded me of my debates with my old school friends. The fact that one day we discussed about social issues after class took us about one to two hours. When we start to do the talking thing, there will be absolutely no such thing as ‘time’s up’ or ‘it’s been too long now’. That’s right. One topic leads to another and the list goes on.

I think I am satisfied for today. Can’t wait for another life’s episodes. Wow! Tomorrow’s the day where we’ll have our first quiz. It’s biochemistry ladies and gentlemen. Hmm, chemistry, my favourite subject. I still doubt if I can make excellent answers for the Biochemistry quiz questions. Well, you’ll never know until you try.

I’ve studied the topics related to the questions in the quiz and I need to add some essence into my revisions. There you go! Maya Dealove, you can do it! Could not fool myself that I am forgetful too. So I better calm down so that I can think right. Yesterday when Miss Hasnaa asked us do dash into writing whatever we want, I wrote about colours. I was shocked that there were some of us who wrote long paragraphs! And there was even a student who wrote in three paragraphs. Me? Hehe… I wrote just one over third of the page.

Now I am addicted to stay back at the library, with its silence, cold temperature and the smell of the books. What a tranquility… I love places with lots of books in it, despite I do not read much except for academic purposes. I might have to consider if there is something suspicious about my blood circulatory system or my hormones. I sweat a lot at certain times. To other factor, maybe it is because of temperature change. When I was working part time in an air conditioned restaurant, I get sweating most of the time, by which without air conditioner presence. That was odd because during school time, I do not feel hot that easy. I even feel cold when my mother says, “It’s so hot in this room.” Like Aina, my room mate said, “You’re a metabolism rocket, don’t you know?”

A Shoulder to Cry On

What if you had been chosen to help people? Or what would you do if someone is in the trouble you would never being in? I bet we as the 'normal' persons have never been bugged by these questions. But have we ever wonder what is it like to live in the darkest path ever? Beneath these contemporay smart looking students, could you guess if he or she have been into any kind of slithering darkness?

Yesterday I called that friend of mine and I'm pretty much sure she needed help. I told her that the problems she had now came from her own decisions. I adviced her to take wise actions, intead of going into a way influenced by terror and desperation. My message yesterday to her,

"Do not feel alone because God always watch you, do not afraid to try to the better because your fate is in His hands. When you are all by yourself, find someone who can guide so that satan's seduction will not invade you."

Like in the second time in my life I asked her, "When are you going to change?"

Commonly, any human being have the capability of making excuses. I understood though. It's not easy to change someone else, but it's harder to change ourselves. Every night and day I prayed for her best, hoping that one day she find that enlightment in which to save her mind, body and soul. She chose the wong way, and she should turn back before it's too late.

It's been a long time I haven't heard about her, but two or three days ago I found out that she made herself into another hot soup! Dear friend, when will you ever get it?

Then whenever she got a problem (she usually got herself into big predicaments) she'll call me or make me to call her. During Biology class, she sent an SMS saying she needed someone to talk. Of course, we have our priorities. I was more concern to get deep assesment to my lessons that time. So I ignored and decided to call her during lunch hour.

Right at almost 12.30 pm, she didn't answer. I hope there's nothing bad happen to her. This was not Maya Dealove's first case. Indeed, she is not the official counsellor or psychologist, she is the shoulder to cry on.

Whatever

Breaking News- Maya Dealove had taken the whole attention of the people in the Rapid KL bus yesterday. She was suspected to lose balance when the driver did the lapping. The victim, a female UiTM main campus student. The student looked pretty shocked, perhaps still in trauma by the current occurrence.

Pooh, it’s not my fault though. That was the second time I almost fell down in a Rapid KL bus. However, yesterday’s was the worst. My roommate even added that I had also stepped on someone’s feet while trying to get my body balance back. Not forget to mention, I think I accidently pushed her shoulder and by that time she was sitting. Hmm, it was quiet a huge force. Oh dear, sorry… I said sorry and it’s not enough. I covered my face with the X-ray envelop.

If you think the girls’ laugh was the loudest, you’re wrong. I had humiliated myself, and I was the first to burst out, laughing. Whatever…

Then when we have to exchange our transport, I said, “Enough, no more bus.”

So off we went to our hostel at Section 18, Shah Alam safely. I told the two other girls who was now taking preparation course to Jordan, “If the secret is prevailed, it’s because of you. remember that.” But now the secret is known, and that’s because of me. Haha.

INTEC: Goodbye Home (Chapter Two)

(This is the 2nd June 2009 post)

Things have been calmer these days. I had already prepared next English for Pre-Medical Student presentation. Yesterday I said, “That’s it for tonight,” Without alarming notice, the clock needles pointed to 12 am. I got my good sleep, wake up the next morning, get all dressed up and went downstairs and get on the bus.

So as usual, I felt uneasy and I did not know why. Did I left something? My purse? Was it my pendrive? Or perhaps my notes? Then I felt pity for a guy who was clearly about to ask the bus driver to stop, as he left something at the hostel. Too bad, it was too late.

“Oh my! Knew it!”

I was too obsessed of the assignments and catching up for the front seat at the class. Hush, I tried to text Nik if she still in the room. Another element of shock; all my room mates had taken their board on the bus. My bad luck. I left my English textbook at the hostel.

‘Bad luck’. Often I reminisize back those past sins I’ve done. Maybe this was one of the compensation. Or maybe this is only a test. The most theoretical possibility, monosodium glutamate level in my neurones reached upon limits and that caused I lost some memory (have not done further research about that). Clumsy, yesterday night I stared at the green book like it has nothing to do with tomorrow’s lesson. I think I need good memory management in my mind. There were times I got twisted with my words or speaking using upside down words. Can you imagine your friend saying, “book, I give you already, library,”?

When I get there, at INTEC I went to another option. Aha, Aisyah Aina… She got English class too today. I asked at what time was the class and marvelous, I borrowed her book and promised to return it right after class. No big deal, I dealt with these back in high school. Moral of the story, if you are a doctor, steer clear of carelessness because your patient will meet death if you repeat the same foolish mistake.


“What? Today we are going to present our discussion results? What happened to me? The info I get was, it is going to be tomorrow, this 3rd of June.”

Do not say that now I’m being a deaf silly girl. Argh!!! The slides were in my laptop, and the laptop was at the hostel. Serves me right! Like I said, I always get stuck in silly fall. It’s like you’re getting 79% score, almost reaching passing grade. So it happened to be a verbal presentation.

Alright, I have done with today’s presentation. Today’s presentation, checked!
Now I am recognizing pathways to a small number of blocks and departments in INTEC. I tried to explore them by myself for a thrill and I know how to remember their locations based from reference points or signs.

However it is, the day has ended and it’s almost time to go to bed. Ya Allah my Lord, may tomorrow be a better day than today.
