180 Miles Away From Wishes

29 February, its once in every 4th year, leap year that is. Nothing special about it, but somehow it has uniqueness, so I write this post as if in another 4 years later on, I could re-read again this post. Another 4 years, who am I gonna be? A wife - insya Allah, of someone out there who has big heart to deal with me in rest of his life and maybe become mother. Errr, what am I talking about? Allah knows best about it! :)

Well, here we go I wrote down list of wishes, where I wrote it? On my mind. I really have some plans of what to do this year, graduation is one of it.  In my 7th semester, many friends asked what is my planning after done with the degree? Really, I only have rough plans of it, my big desire is, I really want to continue my studying, I wanna be a lecturer one day insya Allah. But if my luck isn't there, then maybe I will work which is related with my field of course, again these are only my rough plans, I don't want to put so much hopes on it, since I experienced so many times, if I am too optimistic with plans usually I won't get what I want, Allah is the best planner, ain't it? Well another wish that hasn't became true yet is, I wish that my father could stop smoking by this year insya Allah. Starting from last 2 weeks, I keep sending him messages, some of it he replied back. This is the one of the examples :

"Abah sayang kan sama Nabila? Kalo sayang jauhin rokok ya, please banget. Nabila sayang Abah." -  (Abah loves Nabila right? If you love please stop smoking. Nabila loves Abah)

I don't really know whether the messages will touch his heart or not.

Talk about wishes and those things, I kinda always do day-dreaming recently (isn't that my hobby? lol) I feel like, the playing times are enough for me, the past 21 years is more than enough for not becoming real serious in life. Am I that old? Wohoo! Time does flies real fast.

This semester is another disaster for Uniten students, I have 3 elective subjects, which are two of them have another big projects as well, yes it is excluding my FYP1. I chose Image Processing, Applied Telecommunication and Radio Frequency (Microwave Engineering) as my elective subjects. Don't ask me why I chose them, it is simply I want to know more about it and a lil bit feel interested, though. Okay, I think this writing is enough to write something to remember in the next 4 years, insya Allah. I have so many things to read on, I have meeting with my supervisor tomorrow for progress report 1. Wish me luck, fii amanillah Nabilaaa! :)

ISWS 2012

Indonesian Students World Symposium 2012 - ISWS 2012

Last friday, all the active Indonesian students in Uniten had their chance to attend ISWS. Actually, it comes from Dewi's invitation - the new foundation girl, she sent us sms for attending the symposium, she got the invitation from PPI-M (Persatuan Pelajar Indonesia Malaysia). Well, the symposium started from 16-19 February 2012. But we only have invitation for second day, yes they invite all the Indonesian students from all University in Malaysia, but they give us the limitation for the number of student from each Uni. Min 5 students, max 10 student. Well, it doesn't make any matters for Uniten students, since the total of us now not even reach 10 people. So, here we go, we all came to the symposium.

Since the first day, all the representatives Indonesian students from all over the world had meeting. As far as I know, there were at least 27 countries. From UK, Japan, Sudan, Portugal, Australia and many mores. The priceless thing is, to know if there are brainy Indonesian people out there who are struggling over the world. They were just simply awesome. Indonesian ministers came for the 2nd day symposium, they gave some talks, Hatta Rajasa-Minister in Economy field, Akbar Tanjung and etc. But there are some important people didn't attend, we assumed they got corruption cases (Ohh Indonesia!) one of it is Anas Urbaningrum well we know what his problem is. 

Hatta Rajasa gave us advice to come back 'Home' after gaining knowledge from outside Indonesia, make the contribution for the better Indonesia. Do it for Indonesia, not other countries. As we know, the brainy Indonesian usually choosed to spend their entire life to live outside, they feel more appreciated. Hmm...

Currently, there are more than 14,000 students who are studying in Malaysia (only) and 20,000 students study in Singapore. What a number?!

All I could say, it was priceless oppurtunity to sit and listening some talks. Well, eventhough I could attend one talk, because I have FYP meeting in the morning and FYP class in afternoon.  Seeing those students made my spirit bloated up. Indeed. Indonesia has really bright future, insya Allah. We have.

Here are the pictures of us (don't get a chance to take picture with the ministers):

Nabila, Robin, Hana *lagi :p

Alhamdulillah, I hope I could maximize any opportunities during my last year in Uniten. Bismillah. 

p/s: FYP Mode : ON

Pra-FYP

Thursday - last week, it was a bad day for me, alhamdulillah. I have prepared the Student-Proposed form since the day before it, well I could say it was well prepared. All I need is only asking the sign from the perspective supervisor, I choosed Mr. Fairuz Abdullah. After I got his sign, I could straight away submit the form to the  coordinator before 12-noon. So here you go, I came to his office by 10am, since I was free at 10-11am, luckily he wasn't there. I was extremely panic. I sent him email, then he said if he got meeting until lunch hour!! 

If anyone could see how my face looked like that day, I went back with a hopeless. But on friday, I talked to my classmate, Shahram-an Iranian, I told him how my story went up, he told me to discuss to the coordinator, as if I have valid reason of it. Do you know why I don't want to discuss it at the first place? I was panic and afraid, I dont have any idea what to do that day. My face was really like a crumpled paper. :)) By Allah's will, the coordinator accepted the proposed-form, eventhough it was late submission.

I pointed all the blame on me, sometimes I am afraid to try. No harm to try, no harm to ask. 

This week onwards, I put all my knowledge, time and everything that FYP needs from me. insya Allah

Keep the dua, here are some dua for students : (Taken from internet)

Dua before Studying 

“Allahumma infa’nii bimaa ‘allamtanii wa’allimnii maa yanfa’uunii. Allahumma inii as’aluka fahmal-nabiyyen wa hifzal mursaleen al-muqarrabeen. Allahumma ijal leesanee ‘aiman bi dhikrika wa qalbi bi khashyatika. Innaka ‘ala ma-tasha’u qadeer wa anta hasbun-allahu wa na’mal wakeel.”

"Oh Allah! Make useful for me what you have taught me and teach me knowledge that will be useful to me. 

Oh Allah! I ask you for the understanding of the prophets and the memory of the messengers, and those nearest to you. 

Oh Allah! Make my tongue full of your remembrance and my heart with consciousness of you. 

Oh Allah! You do whatever you wish, and you are my availer and protector and best of aid."

 ---

 

Dua after Studying

“Allahumma inni astaodeeka ma qara’tu wama hafaz-tu. Farudduhu ‘allaya inda hajati elahi. Innaka ‘ala ma-tasha’-u qadeer wa anta hasbeeya wa na’mal wakeel” 

“Oh Allah! I entrust you with what I have read and I have studied. Oh Allah! Bring it back to me when I am in need of it. Oh Allah! You do whatever you wish, you are my availer and protector and the best of aid.”

Dua while Studying Something Difficult

“Allahumma la sahla illama ja-‘altahu sahla anta taj ‘alu al hazana eza ma shi’ta sahal.”

“Oh Allah! Nothing is easy except what you have made easy. If you wish, you can make the difficult easy.”

---

Dua for Concentration

“Salla-l-laahu alaa Muhammad wa aal-e Muhammad. Allahumma inni as’aluka yaa mudhakkira-l khayr wa faa’ilahu wa-l-aamimira bihi dhakir-ni maa ansaani-hi-shaytan.”

“Blessings of God be upon Muhammad and his progeny. O God, I ask you, the one who mentions goodness and actualizes it and commands it, remind me of that which the shaytan makes me forget.”

Putrajaya Pics

Assalamualaikum, readers! :)

Anyway, there are 2 new Indonesian girls, one is taking master and the other one is foundation. And there is one new master student from UM too. They are under scholarship from Yayasan Khazanah. We went to putrajaya as the nearest place from Uniten as well as the most beautiful place in Malaysia (in my opinion). 

We went to Masjid Putra, Masjid Besi, Putrajaya Bridge and Alaf Tower. And the last place we visited is for dinner, which is somewhere in Petaling Jaya. Was a long journey, but FUN! As usual, the other Indo-Uniten boys were also joining us, of course because they are the one who had transportation. My dear Yasir was also there. (I know you never read my blog :P)

Here are the pictures :

Blessed Friday!

As I write this post, friday is the day of today. I have so many things to do for tomorrow (read : today). My training presentation, meeting up with my FYP supervisor to discuss my title whether it is ok or not to proceed [FYI: I haven't prepared yet what things that I want to discuss with him, screw me! :( ] and another one is . . there is new Indonesian master girl, wohoo! It means the population of IndoUniten is increasing, but deep inside my heart, I feel pity with some new Indo students, why they could trap in this university (get a mirror!)

Training presentation, until now I just finished to do the cover slide, I am so lazy to do. I feel that, this is really not me. Not Nabila that I known so far. Well, as I am tired like crazy today, I just come few hours back from mines, I was walking with my friends from mines to serdang with carrying heavy things. And in the afternoon, the Admin officer was playing on me. I couldn't extend my visa as easy as usual. But, still, whatever the conditions that I might face, this 'smile' will never go away from me. insyaAllah! :) :)

Anyway, I got sweet text from my beloved father :

Halo Atibil sepi rumah tanpa kamu. Udah aktif lagi di kampus. Abah doakan sehat2 aja dlm lindungan Allah amin.

I was almost crying when read his text. He is just simply the sweetest man in my life, so far! ( Sorry Yasir, this time I dont count on you. :P)


p/s: Right after posting this writing, I am going to sleep for an hour then wake up to finish the unfinished things. FII AMANILLAH, NABILA!
