India Chapter: Part 7 (LEGENDA 2011)

Last weekend 10 December 2011 there was a big event that took place at KMC Green, Manipal. It was LEGENDARY. Yup you read it right. It has been a tradition for MSAi Manipal Chapter to organize LEGENDA every year in the month of December. Again this year I help out with the backdrop design, t-shirt design, poster design, and souvenir design together with Jatmi. Since batch 25 and 26 will go back to Melaka next year, so last Saturday was our last Legenda here in Manipal. *sedih*

As usual Legenda is all about meeting Malaysian students around india, making new friends, watch the performance and of course enjoy the Malaysian cuisines prepared by the students. However this year I think the number of food stalls were less compared to last year, and the foods were all sold out very fast wey. Seriously!!! Sedap sangat ke sampai aku pun tak sempat beli apa-apa. *kecewa*

This year also me, Ghazi, SE, Asri and Naurah had performed a “few” songs like Rising Spirit (Naruto theme), Bagaikan Puteri (Farra), Just a Kiss (Lady Antebellum), That Thing You Do (The Wonders), Gadis Ayu (Black Dog Bones) and Jikakau Bercinta Lagi (Flop Poppy). Kitorang practice almost every night kot 2 weeks before Legenda. Bila dah habis performed malam tu, rasa puas sangat-sangat. *seronok*

Thank you to everyone who had involved in this big event for your hard work and time. Untuk tetamu-tetamu Legenda 2011 terima kasih juga kerana turut sama memeriahkan majlis pada malam itu. Segala kurang lebih yang ada pada majlis malam itu, kami daripada MMMC mohon maaf. Semoga LEGENDA 2011 meninggalkan kenangan manis kepada kita semua.

India Chapter: Part6

Minggu lepas berkesempatan untuk mengikuti satu program di Summer Sun Beach Resort, Mangalore. Saya adalah salah seorang daripada AJK yang terlibat bagi menguruskan program tersebut. Kali terakhir menjadi urusetia dan merancang modul seingat saya semasa saya di Kolej Mara Seremban (KMS), itu pun kami hanya mengendalikan program untuk pelajar-pelajar menengah rendah. Merancang sesuatu program untuk rakan sebaya I must say is a big challenge for me. Lepas itu saya membenarkan diri untuk jadi MC bidan terjun which is new to me, sebab saya biasa buat kerja belakang tabir je. Saya pujuk diri saya untuk buang jauh-jauh persepsi negatif orang lain dan buat sebaik yang saya mampu. Tu tak cerita lagi pasal feedback yang ‘sangat inspiring’ *tangan didada mata ke atas* =D

Speaker jemputan telah diterbangkan khas dari Malaysia, penulis buku Aku Terima Nikahnya, Bercinta Sampai Ke Syurga, Murabbi Cinta dan Rindu Bau Pohon Tin. Beliau adalah Ustaz Hasrizal Abdul Jamil. Masa mula-mula jumpa Ustaz face-to-face, teruja habis! Jantung dah dub dab dub dab rasa macam nak jerit je, tapi saya tak la tunjuk perasaan excited tu,. Maintain cool je kan~ *senyum*. Sepanjang 2 hari dengan 7 slot bersama Ustaz tentang The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, saya dapat rasakan perkara-perkara yang dikongsikan oleh Ustaz termasuklah contoh daripada pengalaman hidupnya sangat-sangat bermakna dan inspiring. Dalam hati, saya sangat mengagumi insan yang berdiri di depan saya ini. Itulah perkara paling bahagia berlaku pada saya minggu lepas.

Di penghujung program dengan segala cabaran dan dugaan yang ada, keletihan fizikal dan mental, bukan sahaja peserta malah fasilitator juga, harapnya kami semua dapat pelajari sesuatu yang baru tak dapat banyak sikit pun jadi la. Untuk diri sendiri, saya akan berusaha untuk buat yang terbaik di masa akan datang apabila perlu mengendalikan program dengan rakan sebaya, dan terima kasih kepada HICOM SEMPOI 2011, rakan-rakan AJK modul yang lain ( Nami, Nadiah, Atikah, Atiq) serta fasilitator yang turut terlibat dalam mengendalikan program. It’s been a pleasure working with you guys. Kepada Ustaz Hasrizal, terima kasih atas perkongsian ilmu yang diberikan InsyaAllah ada masa kita akan berjumpa lagi.

“Syurga Allah itu adalah tempat untuk orang-orang ‘hebat’. Maka berusahalah untuk menjadi ‘hebat’ supaya kita dapat bersama-sama dengan mereka yang hebat (Para Nabi, Rasul, dan Sahabat)”

p/s: Ada orang tanya saya ratio good:bad secara overall program yang dijalankan, saya akan bagi 30:70. Ini pendapat jujur yang saya nyatakan sebab saya rasa kami mampu buat yang lebih baik. Tapi takpe, bagi la peluang pada mereka yang pertama kali terlibat dalam pengendalian projek belajar daripada kesilapan. Kalau awal-awal dah gempak nanti ‘kembang’ la plak. Tak ada konsep aku-aku kau-kau bila bekerja dalam kumpulan, baik buruk adalah KITA. b(^_^)d

Hectic Week

Lots of things going on this week!!! I have two class test, PBL presentation, journal writing and extra classes. These are the price that you have to pay when you have so many holidays. Actually the PBL thing was not suppose to be that tiresome, but since the lecturer wants me to meet him and discuss about the learning objectives (then everything looks difficult) =P. Apologies to my group members.

Then the class tests microb and pharmac. Microb was an okay, but pharmacy wasn’t but I passed. Muahahaha *syukur Alhamdulillah*. What people said about medicine was true, if you study then you can passed the exam. Okay Khairul don’t play-play again *gedebush*. FOCUS!!!

Journal writing. Thanks to Sarah for letting me to borrow her journal, if not I think I’ll be compiling works on my desk and will not have time to do revision. Still there is one more journal to be written. Honestly, I really can’t take 2 hours non-stop lecture of the same subject, even if they give 10 minutes break. 2 hours man!!! That was a lot to be absorbed for this small brain of mine. My brain is crying. It needs some space, some time to cool down. These are the price that you have to pay for choosing medicine as your career, and all these are only a small part of it. (^_^)

"New Year, New Room"

We just move in our NEW house last week. Guess what, it is a banglo with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and 2 kitchens (tapi duk makan luar juga). Seriously the house is super nice. I'm staying here with my other 3 friends (Redza, Awe, Farid) so it's like everyone got their own room, their own shower and toilet. Maximum Privacy. So, these are the pictures of my new room.

Bathroom and Wardrobe (kene tunjuk juga ke??)

My Typical Study Table

My Bed

Simple right?? I like it to be that way. Modern style, simple but nice. Try to make it looks like a hotel room, any idea?? *smile*

India Chapter: Part4

A minute ago, baru lepas call rumah. Tak ada nak cakap apa sangat pun, just nak sembang-sembang dengan family. Paling best cakap dengan Danial. Danial yang suka merajuk, and along yang suka buat Danial merajuk. HAHAHAHA.

Last night, ada MMMC annual dinner. Ada awards untuk Distinction students and 100% attendance *senyum* (ada makna). When I think about it, aku tak pernah pun dapat award gempak-gempak untuk academic sejak dari sekolah rendah, tapi sejak dari sekolah rendah gak la aku asyik berangan bila la dapat naik pentas amik award-award special macam tu. Keep dreaming and make reality. InshaAllah akan ada masa dia nanti.

Last Tuesday, tetiba di serang DEMAM... Nasib baik cepat-cepat amik ubat, so lepas mendapat rehat/tido yang lebih, akhirnya Berjaya survive untuk terus hidup pada keesokkan harinya. (^_^).

Last week baru lepas Block exam. Nak kata susah sangat tak juga, senang pun tak juga. Tapi yang pasti aku sangat sangat sangat ‘berdebar-debar’ tunggu result nak kuar. Macam dah bleh agak je~. Kalau prediction aku ni salah, nanti ada satu post pasal block exam plak. Hehehe.

Last month, kitorg (aku, farid, syazwan, redza) sibuk cari rumah sebab after 6 months, ktorg kene move out duduk luar. Cari punya cari jumpa la satu rumah baru yang lawa dan sangat besar. Mula-mula macam tak nak sewa sebab mahal sangat, tapi bagi aku ok la sebab sorang nak satu bilik kan so sacrifice sikit la. Benda last yang aku nak story, aku sudah ada vespa!!! Hahaha. Tak pernah terfikir aku akan bawak vespa. Cerita pasal vespa pun akan ada dalam post yang akan datang. *smile*

India Chapter: Part3

Sejak duduk kat India ni, 2 barang aku yang sangat berharga dah rosak. The first one is my shoes. My dad bought it for me for the IB graduation day. Baru minggu lepas cermin mata putih pulak hilang satu tangkai. We all adik-beradik memang dah dididik supaya jaga barang elok-elok. Lagi-lagi kalau barang tu mak atau abah yang belikan rase macam teramat-amat tinggi la nilai barang tu. Itu yang bila kasut and spect rosak rasa down je, susah nak dapat kan.

Down tak lama pun. Last week, I bought myself an IPod nano. HAPPY. Kasut pun dah hantar repair, and it is now good as new. DOUBLE HAPPY. Spect baru pun dah buat and dah siap pun, color still the same, white. TRIPLE HAPPY. Kasut dah ok, spect pun dah ok, Ipod dah ada (untuk study kat foodcourt), table lamp pun dah ade (untuk study kat bilik), yang tinggal sekarang cuma nak study je.

NEW SPECT + NEW IPod = ???

Kita tengok nanti apa hasilnya. “Learning should be fun right, so chill la wei~”. Jangan duk asyik study sampai diri tak terurus, bilik bersepah, baju tak bersgosok. Orang macam ini kalau ada PhD pun aku tak heran. Ada kaitan ke semua tu?? Bagi aku ada, tak tau la apa orang lain kata. Lain orang lain pendapat. Korang ada akal kan, so use your head not your kepala lutut.

India Chapter: Part2

It has been more than one month of my stay in India. So far everything just fine, I kept telling people the same answer whenever they asked me “how’s India?” What about the food?? Here they also have Nasi Goreng Kampung, Nasi Pattaya, Mee Goreng and Nasi Campur, but my favourite meal so far is Manipal Canteen's Butter Nan & Tandoori Chicken. =)

Sports?? I play futsal whenever I feel like playing, otherwise I just go for a walk. Weekend InshaAllah if there is nothing to do, I’ll go jogging.

Study?? Study ok lar~ I’m not the type that go to library to study. Most of the times, I study with my friend at the Food Court. For certain people, it is not a convenient place to study. Too much noise!! Sometimes it can be really distracting, but better than in my room. Too quiet, I start study at 8.00pm and after half an hour, I already feel sleepy. Hahahaha. I plan to buy an Ipod Nano or maybe a PSP. Which one is better huh??

Classmates?? As usual, the typical Khairul who always have problem remembering people’s name. *Gomennasai* I only know the name of those who are the same table as me in the dissection hall, and those who are in the same PBL group with me. No worries. After one year I guarantee , I’ll remember their names. The weather is very hot here right now, that's why I always keep my umbrella with me, jaga kulit yop takut nanti sama colour cam tempe.

p/s: I have a mild flu this week, and next week I have test for biochemistry and physiology. All the best ya!!

Salam Aidilfitri

Walaupun pada saat-saat akhir raya di INDIA terpaksa di postpone daripada hari AHAD ke hari ISNIN, tapi saya masih BAHAGIA huhuhu. Berkesempatan call family di pagi Hari Raya MALAYSIA. Pengalaman beraya di INDIA:

Tak sempat sembahyang raya, sebab ingat start sembahyang pukul 8.45pagi, sekali start sembahyang 7.45. Salah BAYLEE sebab kacau aku tidur last night sampai aku jadi ‘bengong’ skit. Ahaks.

Pergi jamuan Raya di Premier Greenwood, student KMS yang ada cuma aku, SYITAH, SHERA and NA’IMAH (yang lain beraya di Davangere). Walaupun berempat still enjoy. The food was delicious. Dressing aku yang agak kurang kacak, kalau mak nampak mesti marah, so terpaksa edit sedikit gambar. *smile* Agak panas, dengan berbaju Melayu lagi, so aku balik awal.

Lepas Zuhur, keluar dengan Baylee pergi MANIPAL LAKE. The place is great, very nice, bleh naik boat... BUT... ade banyak sangat anjing la. Nasib baik ade Baylee. Sebab anjing tu macam syiok kat kitorg, so ktorg decide balik awal.*grin*

Petang lepas Asar pergi main Futsal dengan batchmates MBBS. Puas giler, tak payah nak berebut court. The other day sempat main cricket dengan locals. Datang INDIA kalau tak main cricket rugi la beb. Hehehe. And malam ber’skype’ dengan budak-budak kat US. Seronok sakan.

India Chapter: Part1

09/09/09 was the most significant and momentous date in my life. I’ve been dreaming to further my study abroad since primary school, and my dream came true on that very day... Alhamdulillah... I was deeply touched when my uncles and their family were there at the airport to send me, and also my fellow SDARians (Mentol, Mad, Atif, Izwan and Zaid). The only thing that makes me terkilan sangat because I didn’t had the chance to give my mother pelukan terakhir. InshaAllah mak, angah akan ingat pesan mak selalu. 22:10 hours, MH192 left Kuala Lumpur International Airport for Bangalore.

10/09/09. We stayed for one night at the Mount View Hotel, very nice place but they charged us per head which was quite expensive. Our flight to Mangalore supposed to be at 06:00 hours, but the ‘officer’ in charge said our flight was cancelled – there was strike going on at the Bangalore International Airport at that time. Thought that we have to stay for another night at the hotel – another 1,800 rupees – we were lucky because there was another flight that evening. From Mangalore Airport to MM Medical College (MMMC) we got the chance to experience the-extreme-roller-coaster-ride, just use your imagination. It took 1 hour and 45 minutes to reach our campus.

11/09/09. The Malaysian seniors are great, ala diorang pun same umur gak dengan kitorg. They all took us for a walk around the campus area, showed us some makan place in the area. We bought some stuff – dissection kit, lab coat, name tag. We took AUTO to the mosque for Friday prayer, only 15 rupees. Then we went shopping again. We break fast at Manipal Canteen. The food was great – SERIOUSLY – After Isya’ we tarawikh in my room. I don’t expect much from India, but so far everything looks fine.

14/09/09. Registration day. Went through lot of process. Waiting for the long queue. Plus everything seems to be disorganized to me. I paid half of the hostel fee. After Zuhur, went to the MMMC building with Redza. They spelt his name wrongly. Then, went to the Manipal.Edu building to get the ‘no objection form’ from the chief warden. Went to BNSL – the India Internet service provider that the staff itself don’t use any laptops or desktops!! And we asked them to install internet connection in our room, what a joke =P. Bought egg cheese burger at Dollops for break fast. After Maghrib, went to bed early. Woke up at 23.45 for Isya’ prayer.
