first of all..im reaaaally sorry fr not posting anything for so long.while FB continues to be filled with all kinds of pictures, videos and randomness, this poor little fella was cring for my attention.hahaha..so anyway it has been a whirlwind of a new semester, since i've been back its been one activity after another. and we've only been back for all of two weeks!!my buddy thulasi was shocked when i told her its only the starting of the third week we're here. and seriously, for me it has been like 4 new albums in facebook.yup. the week we came back was a blur of moving into my new room (same floor, thank God) and getting the FYP stuff together-title etc. then it was minggu mahasiswa here and it was a fun but tiring week! i was under the committee that did handpainting and sold tickets for Gaza's charity.that included emcee-ing for English day, watching the mock debate (on Paul the octopus) and having fun with the other MPP-ians and sahabats. there was a charity poem nite for the cause as well with the popular malaysian group Raihan performing. they were goood!especially their rendition of allahu(Nusrat). the cuteness was, they had songs in mandarin and english too. i enjoyed it and was thinking that around the world people must be singing waheguru's praises in different languages too? maybe songs, but bani i know that whereever we are, we all share the same bani and can understand the same message =) our juniors had joined the personality unggul contest and it was cheering them time as well. after minggu mahasiswa in which the days also included going to lab and getting the plastic and glassware ready , it was convo time! at the same time we were going to lake kenyir for an environment camp. needless to say, excitement of going to kenyir finally was kinda mixed with regret of not getting to spend time with my seniors who were coming, esp my 3 akkas who i spent a lovely year with =) so what happens next?

kenyir was aWEsome!! we had a great time, in the lush green trees with the lake lapping nearby and boats zooming past. the sounds of nature tickling my ears and in 3 days gazillions of pictures. in those 3 days it was nice to get acquainted with new people-students from other IPTs, meeting and getting to some really interesting people (cikgu ahmad,hashimi,siti) and of course bonding with pn.s (mummy).hahaha..the first day was 2 bus rides and then a boat ride,ice breaking and then for us, lepaking at petaling. the second day was the best i suppose, coz we went jungle trekking!!!it was so fantabulous as the trail was really steep and the lake was just below and beside us.fabbb.plus since it had been raining, it was also kinda muddy.weeee..needless to say we were somewhere at the back and had our own photoshoots going on! (luckily cikgu shimi was there to point out some stuff to us and tell me stories) but the forest rangers were really cool and we got to know abt many trees/plants/fruits etc. the bio-d fellas had a ball i suppose! after that it was orienteering in the afternoon. it consisted of finding the next stop and answering a quiz from each stop. the quiz was extremely hilarious with pn.s's sides in stitches-especially with the best ever question: bumi bukanlah milik kita manusia, kita adalah sebahagian dr bumi dan alam. apakah sikap yg ingin ditunjukkan??hahahahaa..and lots of really factual ques too. for me, we've actually learnt some of those before, but we were wondering how the other students managed. needless to say,phonecalls and texts were sent to ppl at uni asking if they remembered some stuff haha or juz 2 google it..God bless them,they helped =) that nite there was a forum, and i wasnt too happy as i didnt do my best (or maybe not even half?) i dunno bt it felt like i didnt do good. sleep was essential that nite to repair the damages!haha i had multiple injuries =P the next day i emceed for the closing ceremony and we took another gazillion photos. we also had to come up with a performance and all the groups did great! that evening we reached uni happy tired and me,superly hyper. convo was going on and believe it or not we went straight there!!happy times..coz i made it to my akkas convo =) then in my damaged state, hungry i was we went to hot hot and some good fooddd for me.. and now its academic time with proposal for FYP, industrial training presentation and the usual course load.phew. so thats my ram katha for now..till next time, Rab Rakha. lots of luv!!
