The Taste of Failure

Assalamualaikum.. Hey guys! What's up?? I wished everything is running smoothly along the track.. =)

Anyway, examination result had been published last week and as expected, I failed two out of four trickiest subjects; Malaysian Legal System and Contract Law. =______=  As I failed both of it, I'm going to have to repeat the subject and that will add the semester required for me to finish my studies, unless I opt for intersession. sighhhhh.. what an idiot!

Now, as I feel I grew weaker every day (in terms of motivation particularly), I've bring about a few late NEW YEAR's RESOLUTION for myself, and here it is!

1. I, Muhammad Affiq Parthi, will do my best, NOT to repeat any more paper(s) this semester and to score a good grades for my repeating classes.

2. I will make myself familiar with the library and books, which was once my life's biggest enemies!

3. I will play less indoor games, but sweat a lot more, to ensure my brain is functioning well with a better oxygen flow, with a lower risk of stroke and sudden heart attack.

4. I will try to wake up early everyday, even during the weekend and do my revision from start of the semester, not on the last minute before exam!

5. And lastly, I'm going to save to aid me buy additional readings and of course, more foods!

That is the least I can do about myself. I'm tired of seeing failure, and I will make sure I'll become a good lawyer one day, and I also prayed my parents lived to see my dreams, and their dreams, finally come true.
InsyaAllah, with all due respect, SUCCESS IS IN MY HAND!

This is not absurd, or ridiculous.

Memories down the Lane

Assalamualaikum.. Hey guys! What's up? I hope all of you are doing fine and gorgeous! =D

Anyway, I've been busy lately (very cliche right?) no doubt, I've been sitting for my final examinations and my last paper, Contracts is on Monday, 16th January 2012. Anyway, the exams were good and I'm not targeting to excel but it is enough for me to pass all the papers and not repeating them.. (WARNING: Words from ordinary students who did not studied for their finals).

Okay, so now, in the light of recent event (of monsoon, of typhoons, of earthquakes and else), my homeland Sarawak and several towns in the Peninsular was badly affected by flood and recurrence of landslides throughout the country. However, as saying goes, "there will always be light at the end of every tunnel", we are actually recovering from the damage done by Mother Nature. These incidents reminded me of my childhood, of my younger times, where natural events where experienced in many ways.

When the town of Kuching was hit by severe floods in 2003 (you need to check the fact back, I didn't do my research teehee :p), most of the time, we enjoyed playing in the water (of course with the parents present) and sometimes we get ourselves in the rain, together with cousins and skipping the school the whole week for contracting chicken pox. There was a time where the water level was quite high near town (my grandma's house is near the city-center), we even get ourselves a sampan (rowboat in Malay) and rowed ourselves within the kampung (village in Malay). 

All of those but memories, remained. Sighhhh... Memories, auditory memories, spatial memories, visual memories all are stored, neatly connected by corpus callosum throughout the hemispheres. Now that we've grown slightly younger, we are now much more responsible towards our own safety (we now understands why mom and dad prevent us to do something) and ahh yes, else..

Nonsense. 

Ridiculous point of writings.

That Moment...

Assalamualaikum and hello guys!

We are actually drawing near towards the end of the first semester, and there could be a really huge possibility we (me and my roommates) will be apart for the next five semesters of studies. In UiTM, if you're not elected to the college, you are going to have to stay outside but of course, there'll be a lot of condition that could get you involved in such situations; non-active member of the college, disciplinary problems, academic performance declining or as easy as running out of your luck!

That means, we are staying on our own outside, becoming the non-resident.. far from each other, and as of now we are of the different faculties and academies, then I suppose it'll be a lot harder meeting each other next semester. Sighhhh... I wanted my roommates to know that it has been a wonderful and wondrous journey throughout the year; staying together, sharing our meals, sharing our bed, spilling our feelings about girls to each other, hatred to the lecturers (some of us) and also not exceptional, all the fighting, mouth-fight and cursing and else.

Citing Albus Dumbledore; "oh to be young, and to feel love's keen sting". I'll miss you guys.

~MEMES~

Assalamualaikum guys! Sighhhh.. A month had passed since I last posted on my blog. I have been very busy actually, managing my classes and also preparing for my upcoming final examinations. 

Today's entry I feel like writing about memes. Memes according to a famous virtual encyclopedia is an idea, behaviour or style that spreads from person to person within a culture. Recently, I discovered an extraordinary Tumblr-like website; http://9gag.com/ (please click to experience). Apparently, I can't stop myself from continuous grinning, laughing and rolling on the floor as this website provides various sarcastic graphical entries, beautifully coloured pictures and so on. From this website, I also found many memes developing and being passed to one another.

For instance, the fans' dislike of Stephenie Meyer's serial novels; Twilight and their movie adaptations is quite amusing. They (the fans) considered every single men forced by their girls to watch the latest installment, Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1 is very "lucky" even some of them posted their own 'suicidal note' since they are not willing to watch the movie either. 

Another memes is the fans' admiration towards Chuck Norris. As we all know, Mr. Norris is a master of numerous martial arts. His capability of defeating every single enemies of his own become the fascination even to our younger generation today. No wonder they liked him so much! =D

And of course, the memes of Justin Bieber's death is abundant on the web. Well, nobody liked him, except the girls. The fans are currently accepting the memes of praying and hoping for his death is the best thing ever occurred in their life. By the way, I am a fan.

On the other hand, not all memes on the website deteriorates our moral values. Some of them are actually teaching us on how to interact better, to always do good things while we lived and of course, cultivating the love for animals especially dogs and cats and also our environment.

I strongly suggest that you go through this particular website for a better understanding on memes. 

Good day all! Keep biting. Write me.

I am So Out of Ideas

Assalamualaikum guys! How are you?

I don't have any clue what to write about.

Thank you. Keep biting. Write me.

FLY MY LIFE~

Assalamualaikum guys! How are you? I hope all of you are in the pink! =DDD Well, today, I am going to tell you a tale. About me of course! 

I was born in year 1992, the day is 9th, the month is August. Normally delivered by my mother (not through caeserean or anything; and with the help of a doctor of course!) and since then named Muhammad Affiq (The One that Always Comes First and Praised in Arabic; correct me if I'm wrong and bear in mind dear readers, only God/Allah is subject to appraisal). My mother is Habibu and for the past 20 years or so, has been working with Sarawak's Government as a Pembantu Tadbir Rendah (kinda like an administrative post in the government). Before that, she was an officer in Land and Survey Department of Sarawak. And of course my father, Parthi. He was an employee of Malaysia Airlines System (MAS for short), working as a Senior Operation Officer; before MAS experienced some "tragic" financial problems in 2006-2007, resulting in the voluntary resignation of almost half of its men's power. However, he then worked by himself, selling all sorts of snacks by the roadside to fill his free time; which sometimes I helped too. You need not worry because MAS gave enough; more than enough compensation to its ex-employees following the Voluntary Separation Scheme (VSS).

My other siblings are Ezzat Emir, Saiful Mizwar, Muhammad Hilmi and a sister, Intan Dewi Natasya; all of them aged 17, 15, 14 and 11 years old respectively. All of my brothers have passion; and skills in football (which I don't have) because of my father. He was a keen sportsman during his younger time. He played football, badminton, sepak takraw, some skill in lawn ball but one that I admired so much is his voice. He is an avid fan of Aris Ariwatan (80's singer from Malaysia) and I love it that way! I mean his voice. I, on the other hand, loved aviation so much! And I guess my father influenced me because I followed him to work from I was 5 until I am 9 years old. During that period, I followed him to the airport almost everyday (my dad's working by shift) and thus, I was exposed to all sorts of pilots, cabin crews, airplanes from all around the world! I even shared a close relationship with one of MAS' pilot, Mr. Rune Sundland from Oslo, Norway. He was, at that time, working with MAS on contractual basis. My father happens to be his football coach cum manager for MAS' Kuching branch football team. So, that's why my first ever ambition is to be a pilot! But I wonder, how I ended up reading laws instead? Hahahaha.

My mother is a great mother. She sacrifices so much for the sake of our (her kids) future. I still remember during the 1997-1998 global financial crisis struck Malaysia, my mother resorted in selling sweets she made by herself and until today, I can still taste the sweetness of her sacrifice towards us. She is so patient in raising the five of us; even until now. Her love for us; is until today, unmatched by others (except of course love by our Merciful Lord Allah and His Messenger Muhammad PBUH). Even if I worked for my entire life and give every single cent of my salary to her; it won't event reach half of her love poured to the five of us since we were babies! I always pray that Allah will give her and my father happiness, prosperity and most importantly His blessings in this world and the Hereafter to them. I love you both.

I don't wanna make my life story too long as I am only nineteen (well there's actually a lot more to be written about me) and a longer story will make peoples hesitate to read it, which is a bit of disappointment on my part. Well, I will tell more soon.

PASSION

Hi guys! Just recently I found a new passion inside myself - apart from aviation world, Harry Potter and laws - and the new passion is ONLINE SHOPPING! LOL. It is the typical views of our society that only women prefers shopping, on whatever basis it is. But I am opposing that view because I enjoy shopping and I don't know why. I guess it has been hidden (my passion for shopping) deep inside myself. And I discovered that recently when my friend suggested me a Facebook friend who sells wristwatch online. 

Since then, I craved for online shopping (well even though I am not actually buying and that's because I haven't received my money yet) and I recently read a blog that sells lomographic cameras for a very low and attractive prices! And I am actually planning to buy a wristwatch and a lomographic camera through online businesses. Well, now I am a fan and I guess I have to work hard on my studies so that when I graduated, I can find very good job and of course, very good salary too; which I will spend to shop InsyaAllah. =)))

Keep biting. Write me.

Btw, I am eager to buy my very first Bell and Ross wristwatch.
