Ponteng kelas

Assalamualaikum folks,

Universiti tempat berfikir (Sir Nasir, 2014).

I was just done with my advance final paper. Leaving me with 40 credits paper to fight on next month. And it got me thinking lah. Macam mana? Macam mana student (assume they're smartpants) yang tak pergi kelas, and yet still excels? Being smart is a thing lah, but having someone explaining and delivering is crucial, I must say. Not going to classes because you can study on your own, isn't it like defeating the process of learning?

Personally, I believe that even if we do not favor our lecturers, we still need to go to classes. It is impossible to not get anything from them (or in fact, everyone that crossed our path in life!). Rugilah kalau dah belajar overseas, masuk universiti terkemuka, dapat lecturer berpangkat Dr dan Prof, tapi kita tak berkejar kejar nak menuntut ilmu. And something different in the UK, lecturers do not like students to just come knocking on their door without informing earlier. But if we had, be sure to come on time. Unlike in Malaysia, we can just knock and ask bila bila. Best part is, if it is during their lunch break or after office hours, our lecturers in Malaysia will still entertain us. How berbudi bahasa and considerate of them nak menolong anak bangsa. Having to experience both local and abroad education system is such a blessing! :)

Disclaimers: I wrote the script before pergi exam sebenarnya, nak eased nervous. Kononnya.

Aftermaths revision for paper Chemical Engineering Design.

And me, after the paper, at the city hahaha

Yours truly,

Easter Break, Part 1

Assalamualaikum folks,

3 weeks of Easter break begun with the end of Heat Transfer class last week. Yayers!

I went to Manchester to make up with my duckface babes. I've said NO twice to their invitations and hence missed two full of laughter dinners :( And also, why not since it's hols. 

We had "Hello Spring" themed BBQ picnic. I literally forgot about it, luckily I brought another flower-ish top. The day was so beautiful - sunny with acceptable wind rate. We had mee goreng made by the 2 sesat main guys - Abang Meor and Aiman haha. Not bad! It's a simple hang out but I enjoyed every moment of it. Fefeeling lepak dekat taman chit chat, and still dont have to worry about smelling bad though the sun shines brightly.

We miss the sunbeams hitting our faces :)

Road trip to Manchester with le abangs

The duckface family :)

The next day we went to the Runway Visitor Park where airplane fanatics go to watch the special vehicle lands and takes off. While me, in the other hand, (the not fanatic but keen to experience) followed them and gave it a try. We were there for 3 hours. My first hour was fascinating and full of awe. The remaining hours? Just me being puzzled on how they bare the cold and yet have satisfaction face on. However, I discovered, PASSION! When you like something, you do it with all your heart. Walaupun benda tu kecil. Then we went back to Rusholme. Said adios to Manchester at 8.30pm together with Abang Meor.

Fact on duckface: I only had known Abang Meor and Aiman from Malaysia because theyre from my hometown. But Irra and Aida (thru these guys), 3 weeks after I reached UK. The best part is I only met Iqa and Min for the first time. But dear, I think I've known them since forever. We clicked, JUST-LIKE-THAT!

This particular plane carries Aiman's parents from Malaysia!

Duckfacer,
Amirah Nasir.
