Life in Notts

Asalam wbt..

Alhamdulillah, praises are due to The Most Merciful, The Most Powerful above All, The Almighty ALLAH SWT..

here I am, re-continueing my 'so-called' hobby, which is writing a blog.
a new fresh start I must say, because insyaALLAH this time, I'm gonna use this piece of page to write beneficial stuffs, for me & for dear readers (kalau ada readers lah). hehe
first and foremost, don't expect too much from me. as I'm gonna write when I feel like writing, and leave the blog to have its spider webs (if you know what I mean) when I don't feel like writing..
and yeah, my english is so not in its tip top condition so I apologize for maybe I'll write whatever that comes across my mind without checking or even 'scanning' and correcting my spelling grammar whatever things u name it as 'perfect english'. and also, sometimes I do rojak rojak-ing my language usage. pardon me (:

hm, for my 'first' post, I'd like to introduce u, who am I? *kening kening*
call me Syarifah. (or Ella).
I'm a full time student in Nottingham University Malaysia Campus, a foundation in science student to be exact and insyaALLAH will be pursuing my studies in Master of Pharmacy July 2013 insyaALLAH (don't ask me why it's foundation then straight to Master cos to be honest, I don't know why. that's the program that MARA offered me so I just go with the flow. harhar).
people usually call this uni as Notts. and it's situated in Semenyih, around 30 mins drive from the centre of KL.
I'm originally from Sarawak (the land of hornbill they say, but I've never seen any hornbill flying around before).
anyways, I'm the 3rd child out of 4 and proudly announce myself as the last daughter. *cough cough*

vat else to vrite?

living my life as a teenager, away from my family and enduring university life before I even reached 18 is kinda adventurous and challenging I must say. although I've been 'away' from my family since I was 13, I'm still indeed need to be smart in adapting my own self, lebih2 lagi kat tempat yg majority nya ialah foreigners..
but alhamdulillah, with the help of my families and friends yg sangat2 supportive, I can now breathe fresh air di bumi Notts.

as a university student, cabaran tu more or less mcm kehidupan kat asrama.. it just that there will be no wardens to chase u around or even teachers to scold u whenever u missed out classes. kena pandai2 ikut arus dan kena pandai2 cari jalan hidup.. kat sini lah sbnrnya nak uji sejauh mana keimanan seseorg. kalau kuat pegangan agama, insyaALLAH mcm mana payah pun hidup berdikari, boleh je kalau nak defend diri dari 'godaan' duniawi, sebab university's life memang sangat sangat bebas. I'm not talking as a pro, jauh sekali as a perfectionist. I'm talking as a person yg banyak kepincangan hidup yg mesti ditampung. To be honest, mula2 tu rasa sangat payah, sampaikan rasa nak give up dah. tapi perancangan ALLAH tu Maha Indah.. reflect balik, ALLAH SWT xkan uji para hamba-NYA melainkan sesuai dengan kesanggupan dan kemampuan mereka. bit by bit, pieces by pieces, I tried to built my 'inner wall' of self respect & self confidence. dari situ, timbul rasa yakin dan cinta yg lebih mendalam. ALLAHU RABBI. I really hope that ALLAH make it easy for each and everyone of us.

di bumi Notts ni ada jugak Islamic Events despite population students yg dtg dari around the globe. activity2 usrah pun amat berkesan dan ukhuwah yg terjalin sesama pelajar muslims (from my view) alhamdulillah so far so good.. saban hari, saban minggu, banyak ceramah2, video lectures etc etc yg dijalankan.. kalau x silap, mostly dianjurkan oleh ISOC (Islamic Society) di bumi Notts.

oh yeah, (attention ladies), kat sini, subhanallah, ramai jejakas jejakas yg bom gedevas. pak2 arab berjambang pun di kiri kanan.. tp, ni pun kira ujian. ujian menundukkan pandangan.. huhu. sesekali tu tershashul jugak mata ni melilau, but then think again. is this the reason why we are here? is this what our parents' hope by sending us here? to meng'usha' guys? oh no no no ladies. try to be as exclusive as u can. insyaALLAH, janji ALLAH TA'ALA itu pasti, perempuan2 yg baik untuk lelaki2 yg baik & vice versa.. so buat apa nak kecoh2 meng'usha'? renung2kan (:

makanan kat sini pun best. alhamdulillah. tp agak mahal. standard lah kan.. huhu.. but then actually there's hikmah. I'm now trying my best to learn cooking. yes people, I'M COOKING! hehe. well, ni pun persediaan masa depan jugak kan? "jadi perempuan kena pandai masak" kata Mummy. untuk apa, siapa, kenapa? untuk suami, anak2 & jugak keluarga.. hewhew. it probably sounds too 'early' to say this stuffs kan? but not too early from my point of view. xsalah kalau prepare awal kan kan? mana tahu jodoh dtg awal. eh? haha..

lectures & lecturers are nice. alhamdulillah.. education quality di bumi Notts ni memang x dpt disangkal lagi. after all, it is the best 1% university in the world. dah berdozen-dozen artists buat penggambaran di bumi Notts, landskap yg cantik, suasana yg tip top, nature yg mendamaikan (subhanallah) for surely will bring peace and tranquility in u.. so siapa2 yg masih tergapai gapai, tercari-cari arah mana nak tuju after spm, I suggest u to give Notts a chance. I love this uni, and InsyaALLAH u'll love it too (:

til next time, take care people.

Asalam wbt...
