Subjects This Semester 2

Hello once again. This is my 11th post and I think this is the last post that Sir Izuan will asked us to do. Despite that, I will give serious thoughts on whether I should continue blogging or not. In the first post of ''Subjects This Semester'' I have told you guys what I have expected from all the subjects that I'm having this semester. So, in ''Subjects This Semester 2'' I will share my view on the subjects that I have experienced through out the semester.

Firstly, Bel311 that is taught by Sir Izuan. At first, I do not understand why he asked us to create a blog and start blogging. Me myself is not the kind of person that checks my email regularly, even my Myspace account are rarely updated. After a few post in this blog, I started to get use to it and found out why he asked us to do it. It seriously can help my writing skills. In Bel311 also, I have enjoyed the speaking practices that is done every Thursday. Thank you Sir Izuan for giving so much effort in helping us and sorry if there were any wrong doings while we are together. Lastly, I put my hopes high in getting an A in Bel311. Hope I will succeed.

Next is Fin262 taught by En. Syamsyul. This semester is En. Syamsyul last semester as a lecturer here at UiTM Johor for he is going abroad to continue his study. He also is getting married before that. Accounting, maths are not my strongest subject, but finance that is taught by En. Syamsyul have really open my eyes on how interesting that subject is. I wish En. Syamsyul all the best in his life. Now, I want to try my best in scoring an A for this subject. Wish me luck.

Eco211 is taught by PM Abdullah but we just call him Cik Dollah. He is a funny lecturer that loves to tease his students in the class. I respect him because he can teach without using a book or a manual. He teaches based on his own notes and he make sure that every single one of his students understand what his trying to teach. Additional information, I heard that this upcoming 1st November he is going to be Timbalan Pengarah HEP. I've been to his house with the rest of the class for an open house. I had a great time that day.

BMD101 is a Mandarin class that is taught by Chong Peng Hwa Laoshi. I really love this lecturer because she is funny in her own way. I do not think she realise that. She calls me Ahmad and whenever there is quiz she always watch me carefully maybe because I'm quite bad at mandarin. It is like learning Bahasa Melayu all over again. Anyway, I do hope that I can master this subject for I know it will help me in the future.

Ctu241 is taught by Ustaz Kamarulzaman. He is a sporting lecturer that encourage his students to open their mind. He tells us clearly on what does he want in his assignments, presentations and how to answer the finals. This clearly helps a lot. Ustaz Kamarulzaman is also in the disciplinary committee. He is the one that handle those who is convicted guilty in the court.

Next is tennis coached by En. Naser. At first, I thought I've known almost everything there is to know about tennis. But En. Naser proved me wrong. There are still a lot to learn about tennis and I will keep improving on that. He has a nine year old son that have been practising tennis since he was five. That kid can beat me for sure in a game of tennis.

Lastly is Qmt216 taught by En. Zaki. He is a young lecturer and still new in what he is doing. His teaching are quite blurry but I can keep up once I revise them on my own. He often do an extra class and asked us to come meet him in his office regularly. I've done a lot of assignments for him that can help me for my finals. He is a strict lecturer that locks the door for whoever comes late. I've been send to the court accused by him for not attending his classes. But I've won that case and my name has been cleared.

I want to say thank you to all the lecturers that have been teaching me through out the semester and sorry if there were any mistakes that I've done. At last, I wish all the lecturers the best in their life. Thank you.

What I love Most About Hari Raya Aidilfitri

Hi. Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri. The things that I love most about Hari Raya is maybe the quality times that I get to spend with my family. My big brother usually works offshore and my older sister is at UTP, Perak. While my parents are always busy with work. So vacation is the only time that we get together and have fun.

My father is from Penang while my mother is from Negri Sembilan. So to make it fair what they do is to spend the first Raya at Negri and then go to Penang. Another thing that I love about Raya is that I get to meet all my cousins whom I rarely see if not for Raya. So, as we all know after ''sembahyang raya'', we as children have to ask for forgiveness from our parents. My family is what I can say as an egoistic family excluding my parents, but I always thought that we got that from them. So when it times to say we are sorry, sometimes it will be drag until the evening for us to finally come see our parents and ask for forgiveness. I know it seems stupid but that's just the way it is.

Most people have two grandmothers, one from their fathers side and one from their mothers side. For me, I have three grandmothers. That's because my father have two mother. The story goes like this, my father was given to his mothers sister that is his aunt because his aunt doesn't have a son and she have made an agreement with my fathers mother that if she delivers a son, the son will be given to her. My father was told about this when he was 12. At first we usually stayed at my grandmothers house that raised my father but now that she has gone we usually stays at my real grandmothers. For me, I love them both.

Another thing that I love about Hari Raya is the infinite food that's provided. Every time it is Raya, I would gain a few kilos but because of my high metabolism rate, it would not be long before I lose them. I would always be the ''victim'' in my family to eat what were served to us. This is because after a long day visiting peoples houses and eating, they would get full and my parents would tell me to eat at every house to show a term of courtesy.

Lastly, who doesn't love ''duit raya''. I have found out that now I'm in a university, I have received more ''duit raya'' than before. That is seriously something good. I think that's all from me right now. Until next time. Kashfi, out.

Childhood Memories of Ramadhan

Hello. It has been a while since i last updated my blog. I hope you readers can forgive me on that. Getting back to the topic, my childhood memories of Ramadhan.

The story goes like this, I started fasting when I was in standard 4. That is 10 years old. As I heard from other kids, when they complete the entire month fasting they will get a reward. Some were given money and some were given toys. For me, there will be nothing at the end of 30 days of fasting. This is because my father always said to me and my siblings that we shouldn't fast for the sake of the money but for Allah S.W.T. So he wanted to train us from the beginning to fast for Allah.

The funny thing is, my mother is an entirely different story. She would always say to me that if I can fast without breaking it, she would buy or make all kinds of food that I love. For example, back then I'm a huge fan of doughnuts. Give me any kind of them and I can finish it in two bites. Then after breaking our fast together, each one of us will go to our room and do Maghrib. I can still remember the drowsiness that I felt when it is time to go to Solat Terawih. It must be because I'm full of all the food that I ate. Still, I never miss Solat Terawih.

Now, I would like to tell a story about my little sister. The reason why I want to tell about her because I find it quiet funny. In the first year of she fasting, it was going smooth but she will be whining all day and always asked us ''what time is it?'' or ''is it Maghrib already?''. So one day, the weather was really hot and me and my sister came back from school as usual. Usually I would watch the TV with her thorough out the evening while waiting for Maghrib. But this one time she was not with me. So I looked everywhere for her as I should take care of her. Finally, I was shocked with what I saw. She was sleeping with her head in the fridge. The funny thing was, she was really sleeping! Like there was nothing unusual with her. So I woke her up and told her to get a shower and go to sleep in her room.

Hope you guys enjoyed reading my blog. After this, Raya. Bye.
