New chapter ✨

Hi, assalamualaikum ❤❤

There are so much issues going on for the past two weeks & I'm still trying to adapt with it.

"Always go with the choices that scare you the most, because that is the one that is going to help you grow."

...

5/9/17 : Degree started (Orientation week)

We had to go through a week of orientation at Nilai and two days orientation in KL. So basically, two times orientation. Kencangz tak kencangz. 

Orientation week at Nilai feels the same like what we had during Tamhidi before. Almost 90% the same. Fuh. So, u guys boleh bayangkan lah kan how enjoyed are we masa orientasi tu 😅😅

The best thing about orientation week at Nilai is spending my time with my friends. Other part, maybe free food? Hehe food is bae❤ Even we all know that the food is included in the registration fees 😌

Orientation week at Nilai was tiring bcs we had to walk all the way from our transit hostel (KK1) to DTC Hall & listen to talks, ceramah, taklimat n etc. We also had to walk to the mosque for every prayer times. MasyaAllah, hat jalan kaki pi masjid ni takpelah, sebab berjalan kaki ke masjid kan besar pahala nya ✨ Plus, I was excited because finally USIM has its own mosque. Tenang je rasa solat kat situ sebab masjid dia luas & cantik ❤✨

9/9/17 : Moving to KL

Doing medical check-up in Nilai and we're going to Ampang KL by bus. Seniors were so kind & helpful. Diorang jaga kitorg macam adik sendiri. Siap tolong angkatkan barang2 & luggage semua sampai ke rumah masing2. 

Dekat sini, hostel kitorg dekat Glenview Villa, Cheras Baru. It is a condominium and has two blocks. Block A & B. Kitorg punya rumah kat blok B and tingkat plg bawah sekali. Rezeki sgt sebab tak payah naik turun lif selalu. Alhamdulillah ❤❤ 

Cabaran duduk kat sini ialah kena tahan nafsu nak shopping. Yelah, dah duduk tgh2 bandar, everywhere ada shopping mall. It was funn but at the same time menyesal bila tak dpt handle duit dgn cermat. 😌😌

Everyday kena ada budget, kalau tak duit keluar macam air paip. 

Our motto everyday is "JANGAN PERGI GIANT" since bawah kampus kitorg tu ada shopping mall. Fuh, bukan beshe beshe dugaan shopping tu. That eager utk hias bilik & beli brg2 utk hias rumah tu benar. Padahal bukannya ddk lama pun. Mybe setahun je pastu pindah rumah lain plk next year. 

Makan pun kena budget since rate harga makanan kat Ampang tak sama cam kat Nilai. Dulu RM 3 dah boleh dapat nasi tomato pakcik kelate. Sekarang RM 4 tu utk nasi goreng biasa je. So, kalau rajin tu kita masak lah kat rumah. Setakat ni tak pernah masak lauk lagi, dapur kat rumah tu panas sebab masak maggi je heheheheh.

...

To be honest, aku takut jugak la nak amik bidang pergigian ni. Bila dengar cerita doctor2 & abg kakak seniors semua... Tapi, rasa excited tu ada weh. Memang kena selalu doa supaya Allah tetapkan hati kita utk belajar dlm bidang ni. Dentistry ni bukan setakat menghafal je, segala jenis skills dia kena ada. Bab kena handle patient tu yg plg banyak kena bersabar bak kata seniors.

For my friends yg tak dpt sambung dentistry kat USIM, I hope that Allah SWT will ease every way for you guys ❤ Tipu la cakap tak sedih & rindu. Moga kita semua berjaya dalam bidang masing2. 

Doa yg baik2 sebab Dia Maha Mendengar. Put your highest trust in Him in every situation. That phrase is what I have been holding on since I finished my SPM exam. He is the one who holds our future thus we should not worry much & make the best of it❤

Bismillah. Let's ace this degree ✨

Kembara Dakwah Pos Chiong ✨

Bismillah.

This post gonna be super long. It's just me writing all her thoughts and unforgettable memories about her journey with her friends meeting all new people and experiencing all new stuffs ✨

***

Kembara Dakwah ✨

One of the best memories that give me hundred lessons about life. To plan is already a tough job, but to do the plan is more tougher.

Basically, this journey wasn't just about helping orang asli and giving some 'sumbangan' & all. It's more than that. We learnt so much from them and it was unexpectedly very different from our first impression about orang asli. Or maybe, MY first impression. From my observation & what ustaz had told us, they are very shy and humble. We are the one who have to approach them first.

Oh yea, I want to share my very first task in here. It was in the morning and I was assigned to find extra knive because the team who are going to cook had to use it urgently. It means that I had to communicate with the orang asli to borrow theirs. I was soo nervous bcs mana la aku reti cakap bahasa depa 😂😂 And there is no internet okay to google bagai. However, it was such a relieve bcs I had learnt a few phrases like 'apa khabar' & 'selamat pagi' so the rest conversation was only by hand signals which I guess they understand. And yehaa alhamdulillah, the woman actually can understand us & we had a short chats before the mission to get the knive is completed. ✨

FIRST TASK PUN DAH BERJELA ADUHAI..

***

Hehe, first and foremost.. I was so proud with my other teammates who work so hard on planning each of our activities at there. Our team members was small in amount but the teamworks was super awesome and we never had a fight with each other. I respect each of the members and treat them like my own families. Each of ourselves has our own role to ensure that each activities and programmes that will be handled will going on smoothly. We are all from different schools btw :

Al-Amin Bangi (my school✨)
Al-Amin Gombak
Al-Amin Kemaman
Al-Amin Sri Aman
Hidayah Johor
Hidayah Ipoh
Al-Islah Sg Petani (we slept 2 nights here before going to Pos Chiong)
Al-Irsyad Kuantan

1 Malaysia babe. Sabah Sarawak je takde :')

Al-Amin Bangi representatives ft Mlmh Norlida & Farihah at the back

I was assigned to be the media crew member with Hafizi (my schoolmate) & Farihah as my assistant (she's from Hidayah JB). Everything was super last minute as this responsibility was given to us less than a week before d-day. We had to prepare & divide the task evenly on who's going to bring the camera, laptop, charger & such stuff. And you know what, it was my FIRST experience handling quite a big responsibility.

(Siapa yang jadi JK propa tahu lah cane struggle dia nak bawak camera/laptop pergi tempat asing & make sure barang2 yg kita bawa tu selamat & boleh digunakan sampai habis program. Bawa banner, ambil gambar setiap aktiviti, charge camera & laptop bila generator hidup, siapkan video on time, buat buletin. Fuh.)

The struggle was real. But of course, it's worth the experience. ✨

Basically, apa yang kitorang buat kat sana is banyak luangkan masa dengan kanak2 n makcik2 kat sana. Mereka, sangatttttlah pemalu.

'Tak kenal maka tak cinta'

So, our first approach is cuba tarik minat kanak2 kat sana dengan gula2. Kalau ikut loghat kawan2 utaqa ; cokelat. "Adik nak cokelat? jom ikut kakak main kat padang sama2 nanti akak bagi cokelat" :) bila aku dengar diorg kata cokelat tapi pegang gula2, i was like ''tu gula2'' ''knp cokelat...''
Sampailah hari kedua terakhir aku kat sana baru lah aku faham..

((Hang nak cerita pasal cokelat ke apa nii))

After a few taaruf with the kids and a few makcik there, it was easier for us to communicate and invite them whenever we handle a programme and activity involving them. (Taaruf = get to know each other).

Basically, it just need our extra effort to start the conversation first and make them thiqah with us. (Thiqah = trust)

Some of the programmes are Family Day, Movie Time, Fashion Show, Kem Smart Solat, friendly-match football & netball, merewang, mandi sungai (guys), and such more. I can't remember all of them 😅😅

hi afah !

Weols ajar kakak2 kat sana buat ketupat. Wowerz sekali je akak ni belajar

To highlight one of the activities that I enjoyed the most was netball friendly match with the women there. At first we were quite unsure, and I was assigned to be the goal shooter (GS) pulak tu! Yang paling tak boleh nak terima is tiang gol dia tinggi yang teramat!! Diorg guna batang pokok kelapa weh!! Rasanyalah sebab memang tinggi allahu tak terkata..

lebih 3 meter kot gais

We thought we were going to win at first because I managed to shoot a goal!! Unluckily, orang asli team won the match 🔥 but we really enjoyed the game and felt motivated to do better next time ✨✨

***

Farihah & I spent a lot of time together since we were both in media crew team. She do help me a lot and we basically enjoy every moments there. The most unforgettable moments is bila enti sanggup pakai tudung ana yang ana dah pakai beberapa hari kat sana 😂 dengan alasan dia nak basuh tudung dia sbb dah busuk, habis tu tudung ana ni wangi sangat kee😂😂 ya Allah terharu okay :'))

Tu belum cerita masa kat atas houseboat lagi, I don't know macam mana kita boleh berani duduk betul2 kat tepi houseboat dlm malam yg gelap gelita tu. Borak2 pasal life masing2. Boleh je kalau ada buaya yang lompat & attack kita memalam tu, huhu pengalaman sungguh 😅 The night breeze was no joke 💓 and it felt like pergantungan kau dengan Allah masa tu memang tinggi habis lah.

And it would not be complete without my lovely schoolmate Kak Hanis, Kak Ada, Raudhah, Anis and Piji the only guy from Al-Amin Bangi who had sacrificed a lot. You guys are the best! Missing those memories of selling pancake, sandwiches and breakfast at school to ensure that our financial target was enough & such more. Since Piji is the only guy & no mlm/mlmh following us to Sg Petani, dia lah yg terpaksa jaga kitorg yang macam kanak2 lagi2 ni naik bas from Bangi to Sg Petani. (Waktu ni, I didn't follow their trip bcs my parents want to send me all along to Sg Petani). And yeah, after Kembara Dakwah, he once again jaga kitorg balik naik bas from Sg Petani to Bangi. Thanks a lottttt gaisssssss.

There's a lot more to share but if you want to know more, you can just buy our travelog lkd7 book. Hehe.

I felt grateful because this chance is once in a lifetime I guess. Ramai kawan2 yang lain tengah busy kerja, ada yg tengah belajar driving, ada yg tgh melancong😭, and plg ramai tgh enjoy la masa cuti after SPM tu. Wuish heaven kot cuti lamaa. Macam2 boleh buat. Tapi tulah bila lama sangat, tak sabar nak masuk belajar. Pastu bila tgh belajar, tak sabar nak cuti.

Whatever it is, I do believe that 'Setiap pengalaman mematangkan kita'. 

Without experiences, we would not know our limits and how to improvise ourself to be a better person in the future. My advice is, accept every challenges with an open heart, get support from your families & friends and seek guidance from Allah SWT.

All the best peeps 💓 my degree would start soon and I guess there's no much time for me to blog during my degree. Most of our seniors said that dentistry students are going to be busier than medic students. Anyhow, insyaAllah I'll do find some time to write!

Pray for me uolss and pls keep me in your duas ✨

Much love,

Interview for Degree of Dentistry in USIM

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. MasyaAllah berhabuk teruks blog ni.

So this time, I would like to share my experience preparing for my interview on the past 1st June  :') Before that, I want to explain a little bit about the 'kronologi' for those who want to further their studies in dentistry/medic/archi after tamhidi. Since ramai org tanya kenapa nak kena interview, buat ujian darah semua utk masuk degree. 

"Bukan sepatutnya dah confirm ke dapat tempat nanti kat usim?"

Okay, disebabkan students tamhidi dentistry ada dlm 79 org. Utk degree nnti, they only want around 35 students jee,,,, that's why we have to undergo all these process to determine whether we are truly qualified or not. Yes, saingan teruks. Mentally bullied weh 😭 The pressure was no joke.

.

.

Lepas dapat result tamhidi, baru tahu kita layak ke tak utk pergi interview. Utk interview tu, kena buat ujian darah. Utk check penyakit HIV, hepatitis A, B, C. And, mmg korg kena prepare duit bebanyak sikit before pergi buat ujian tu. Sumpah. Mahal. 😅😅

Record paling murah is below RM 110 and plg mahal RM 390+. *telanairliuqsikit* huhu camtu je duit melayang 💸

Pastu, prepare ur resume and sijil2 kejayaan uols. Waktu ni je la nak show off. And pls, mmg kena prepare benda ni dari awal, sebab kalau last minute mesti ada je benda yg mungkin korg akan ter'miss'. Like, sijil spm tak ambil lagi kat sekolah, sijil ni, sijil tu and the list goes on..

Do not procastinate okay? 😊

Before the iv, banyakkan baca pasal course yg korg nak ambil tu. Tgk la subject apa yg uols akan belajar and do some research regarding current issues related with ur course.

(D-day - 1st June 2017)

Tunggu giliran ikut birthdate masing2. I was the fifth last kott. Memang harap sgt dpt giliran awal sbb mood pagi2 tu happy. But then, almost 2 hours menunggu. Kacau mood. Tapi still boleh gelak2 sebab nak hilangkan nervous yg tiada penghujungnya.

.

.

First task: we are given plasticine n dentist pye tools. So it's up to us nak buat model apa2 pun. Most of us buat model gigi.

Lepas tu, baru masuk bilik iv. Ada 3 org interviewers. Lepas diorg tanya nama kita, we have like 2 minutes to sketch/draw something on a paper. Haritu kitorg lukis mug. And there is no eraser! I repeat no eraser was given.

After that, the iv started and these are the questions that I got.

Q1 : Okay alya najwa, can u tell me about yourself?

Q2: Why dentistry in USIM?

Q3: What is your talent?

Q4: Wow, so you are into multimedia thingy, so usually you edit vids sume guna apa?

Q5: Do you play sports? Then, is there any achievement.

Time ni, I forgot what is 'peringkat daerah' in english. Lama gile fikir and at last, mmg cakap je daerah in malay. 😷

Q6: Do you have any experience in leadership?

*kringggg*

And I was like nasib baik aq tak melatah ya tuhann. Sekejap je rasa. Tapi part tergagap tu ofc la ada. Dah berkurun cuti duduk rumah tetiba kena speaking.

Above all, I was grateful enough and I hope that my fate in Dentistry USIM will be real this time. I put my 💯 trust in Allah as I believe He knows the best for me.

InsyaAllah that's all for this time. It's quite a long entry than I had imagine 😅 Do pray for me and my friends 💖 I would appreciate that sm 💖💖

Ayah's smile that cheers me up at the time that I need the most.

Thankyou for reading :) Do share your experience too okay! Assalamualaikum❤
