Confidence is the gold key in uni life

Holla!

I'm back again. Well yeah you may see that I spend quite frequent times in blogging then pausing for a long period of time then continue frequently over again like I'm the owner of this blog which I am. Ya Allah apa aku cakap ni, I hope all of you can understand me clearly because I am currently experiencing the worst day in uni life (for now) but whatsoever I'm here listening to sam smith's songs and I'm pretty sure (well, not really) that I am okay now.

Ugh! So, back to the main topic. As you can see in the title part above, I want to talk about confidence. Believe me guys, the main luggage you need to fill up before coming to any universities, is the luggage full of confidence and courage. That's it, and you're all good. For example, if you're too good in English but you don't have enough courage to speak or talk to someone using that language, you're just as doomed as people who don't know English at all. Please, just talk confidently even if it's wrong because believe me no one is going to laugh at you or even make a joke out of it. If they do, they're just making a joke out of themselves because no one is perfect here, they just act like they are because they wanted to stand out more than any other students who don't have the confidence or courage to take those opportunities

I guess that's all I can say. I'm not in the mood to write or tell any other nonsense stories of mine. Stay cool guys, bye!

Love,
Farra.

New journey, new friends

Hello!

The first week of class has finally come to an end. I can say that this life as a university student is much more packed and harder than I imagined. Thank God I have my sister to guide me or else I'll stucked up into the worst nightmare I could possibly imagining. This journey also make me realise how precious our holiday times and the times we share with our family are. I wish I can just stay home all day instead of the dormitory but this will all be over in four years, Inshaallah. So, I have to enjoy every single time I have during this degree life at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. For the course, which is the degree in Industrial Biology, it is all I ever dreamed about. I love biology and I'm willing to spend my times in UTM enhancing my skills especially in labs.

What makes me more nervous is the realisation that I have to use English language whenever I have to talk to my classmates because most of them are Chinese, Indians and also International students who obviously will use English as their communication medium.  But well I hope I can improve my communication skill despite the hardship to produce a spontaneous sentence in a matter of seconds. I know my English is bad but this opportunity can actually help me to be better and better day by day. Thanks to this blog too, even though I have tons of mistakes in my blog posts but whatever, we can never be the best without failing, right? Hehe sorry for the nonsense but hey let's enjoy some pictures from this week.

my coursemate!
You cannot spot the International student in the photo well because she's obviously from Asia too so it's hard to differentiate them from the local students hehe but not all okay! Of course we have International students from around the world but in my course, we have Asians, Indonesian.

meet our International friend, Anjani from Indonesia (black-shawled girl)
me and fina exploring the centre point ;p
The lecturers here are all awesome, (well at least for my course) and I love how my maths and stats lecturers understand the hate biology students have for numbers so they try their best to make us change our perspective towards those subjects. and well I think I started to love them a little bit more than I did hehe.

Well to be honest, I myself still can't believe that I am facing an adulthood phase and so it's hard to remove my childish self away but I hope I'll be one of the best here, with that first class award :p Well I guess that's it for now, will share more entry soon wait okay! See you in the next post fellas.

Love, farra.

The Starting of Degree Life!

Salam & good day everyone.

This will mark the second post after a whole laziness trip of not-posting-anything despite my promise to make this blog alive. So today, I wanna share with you about my degree life in the Univesity.

In the UPU system, I stated very clearly that I wanted to get into Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) Skudai no matter what happen by selecting UTM in 5 out of 12 choices. This is due to my manjaness of not wanting to be away from home and my family lol. I know, I know, it's not rational but hey I had a research about the programmes available for undergraduate studies at UTM and fortunately I found most of my desirable courses in UTM.

To sum it all up, Alhamdulillah I got an offer to UTM with the first choice of mine which is the Sarjana Muda Sains (Biologi Industri). I lololoveee biology so much and this is my platform to continue my study in the course that I love. On the third of September, I attend the registration day and face a four days orientation. It was tiring but worth it. I realise that this uni life is far harder than matrics because we have to survive fully on our own, that is for example, we have to be prepared for transportation and meals of our own and trust me, IT'S HARD but I'll cope after a few whiles, I hope.

Me and Qila during the last orientation day which
got us both sunburned :(

Tomorrow will be my second day of class. so please wish me luck! I think that's all I can share for now. Bye!

Love, farra.

My First Love, Bobby

Good day everyone :)

So this is my first post of the year. I know it's too late but happy new year to my blog hahaha. This year has been the hardest but also the easiest one for me. Never did I expect that I'll be facing a really bad and unimaginable day of my life by losing my first love, Bobby or Obi. Obi has been with us since 2017. She's the first one of her kind that my mother lets us to pet. Last month on the forth, she left us and it still bring that sickening heavy feeling in my heart everytime her figure passesd my mind.

Obi few month old, few days before missing for two days
I know the feeling when one of your pet dies, I have nearly 20 cats before, all of them were Obi's kitten & grandkitten but then when it came to Obi's dead, it's extremely rare. The feeling I had that day when she died is just unexplainable. She has been with us through my teenage to adulthood times but then she's gone now. No more Obi wiggling her tail everytime I called her out of boredom and no more manja time when I had my meal times just so you could eat a tiny bit of my food with me. I still cannot get over you. I miss you face, I miss your scent. How could a cat like you smells so good when all you were doing was licking yourself up to clean? It's nonsense but it is true. It's you.  I wanted to smell you all the time when I'm stress or needed your tiny attention but then I realise that it'll never come true anytime soon, or anytime later because you're gone now.

I still remember that day clearly, the last syawal with you. You been acting all cute and manja with me like you always did especially when you got a taste of soil and dust from the yard. Just maybe because you always stays inside with the cold tiles and clean floor. Still, you were never dirty or all messed up. You'll make sure we won't have any trouble letting you out because you know exactly how clean you have to be for staying inside.

That last day of yours, I looked at your awful sick self trying to catch some air. Until finally you had it, that last embrace of breath, that I thought you're yawning or stretching yourself & I still got a chance to think that you're still alive. Little did I know that it was the last time I got to see you alive.

My last picture of Obi alive

Obi's dead body :')
That day we all cried a river, especially my mother, who created the tighthest bond with Obi. The first cat that she allows to enter her life. The cat that understands her when she's sad or angry or even wants to perform solat. Obi will always woke her up for Tahajjud. Obi also knew when my mother was angry at her and so she'll run upstairs and merajuk all day till my mother pujuk her. OMG I miss all those beautiful times with you my beautiful cat :'(

Wherever you are Obi, I will always have you in my heart and that space is still yours that no one can rip it away. Wait for me, and we shall meet again when the right time comes. Ayah, Mummy & Kakaks love you so much! <3
