Hi, I'm Syami. Nice meeting you. :)

2more days and im off to inti.
just finished the certification thingy.
thanks to tok ayah sbab teman aku pagi tadi.
plus to my kupu2, ana sbab teman aku ptg plak.
cos of crtain things that cant be avoided. =)
essay going to start soon i hope esp for purdue uni.
harap kemalasan akn berkurangan.
stats.
arts.
his1.
though im still thinkin of takin it or not.
cos mr B is a damn strict grader.
to tke it or to not tke it? to tke it or to not tke it? to tke it or to not tke it?
be going to inti early act cos i tot the enrollment would be on 30th.
bt it turns out that theres an early enrollment for us.
bt its okay cos i can do my uni app when i get there.

kekeringan ilmu these holidays so i din really have a thing to say.
be thinkin of what to share in the next post.

im back!
damn rindu bloggin.
flight to kl to madinah was really tirin.
cos im stuck at the seat plus im wearin shoe durin the flight which im not really used to.
arrived in madinah around 9 sumthin i guess bt there it was already dark.
almaklumla, isyak pn 7.15 as i remembered.
the we head to our hotel near masjid Nabawi.
went there with my ma and 97others.
that night ma asked me to accmpny her to masjid.
i went there around 11 kot for isyak mghrb prayers, jama'.
bt siyesly at that time i know nuthin bout raudah.
the next day baru ah aku tau psal raudah.
raudah tu org ckp tempat mustajab doa.
siyes aku suka sbab org ckp bt ibadat kt masjid nabi ni 1000 more than masjid biasa.
the next day tu baru dpt tgk mkm nabi,baqi', raudah dgn btol.
raudah hard to enter bt alhamdulillah.
my stay in madinah is from 14 to 17,
cos on 17th afternoon tu da b'tolak to mekah for umrah.
1st time pkai ihram siyes risau.
1.tkot talipinggang loggar.
2.kne jaga larangan2 .
journey to mekah to madinah pn quite long.
3-4hours la gk.
arrived in mekah terus bt umrah.
tawaf, saei, bergunting, tertib.
smpai bergunting msuk ah aku kdai gunting.
number four, number 4.
tapi yg ampeh nye pak arab tu bt no 1, bt its okay.
17-22 there, sempat la bt 5 kali cos the last day bt tawaf widak je.
tapi smpai masjidil haram for the first time ase cm tak caya.
1.cos still tak caye aku da smpai tanah haram(madinah and mekah)
2.cos dpt tgk kaabah, sentuh kaabah.
first2 tak knal lagi mane bucu rukun yamani, hajarul aswad.
pstu lama2 da okay cos bila tawaf bkn nmpk pn bnde tu.
pegi masjidil haram ni lagi seronok ase cos org ckp bt ibadat kt cni 100000 more.
for prayers, 30min before waktu lagi da kne pegi cos tkot tak dpt tmpt.
yg bestnye gk, dpt mnum air zamzam byk2, FOC plak tu.
nabi ckp air zamzam ni air yg paling bagus kt dunia.
kt mekah dgn madinah ni byk bnde yg aku bt senanye, tak ckup ruang na cite.
kebab? best aku ase tapi tak menyempat na masuk mulut.
so, i enjoyed doritos and barbican.
barbican kt cni gile murah aku ase, sr2-sr2.5 = rm1.84-rm2.3
tingat plak aku kt jason, pain, adhwa.
tapi na bt cmne, bag da full, tak dpt la aku na bwk blek.
pegi tanah haram ni la baru aku tau yg tanah haram ni org bkn Islam tabole msuk.
also went to jeddah, taif.
sume miqat gk aku pegi utk bermiqat cos travel agncy tu na suruh knal sume miqat.
going there, bertambah la gk cket ilmu sejarah Islam which i know nuthin bout that before.
back here, ase cm na pegi lagi plak tmpt tu.
plus terdetik la hati ase na buka travel agency antar org2 pegi bt umrah/haji.
bak kata org, sambil2 dpt rezeki kita beribadat/tlg org.
sekian for this post.

"mkn bila lapar, berhenti sebelum kenyang"
*if im wrong, pls correct it.*

sekian.

esok check out, movin to kltn.
almost 4years kot kt penang.
bole la tahan.

toefl rsult tak tau lagi.
cuak!
cos i think i din do well for the test.
grrr.

uni app da gerak cket.
baru je antar email dkt ms sri for FAS letter.
nnti na pegi b'kg kt inti 4, 5hari. =)

turning point.
merujuk kpd post diatas,
turning point is actually a point where i think i should change:
1)my lifestyle
2)point of view on certain things
3)my future goal
4)my ambition
5)and so on...
dulu time form 4, form 5, aku na sgt jadi acc. sbab:
datuk wahid,
datuk che khalib,
tan sri hassan marican.
all of them came from acc background and conquered big firms.
bt then after spm i was thinkin of opening my own business, having a vision to buy airasia company.
i know it sounds crazy bt thats what i aim to do.
bt, as i grow, i think i my ambitions somehow change a bit.
its not that i lose hope or somewhat, bt i started to think matured i guess. =)
i wanna open a minimarket, and if God wills it i wanna expand it and open my own retails.
i guess thats the best way of doing bsnss with less or perhaps zero corruption. =)
though the profit might be less/slow, its okay i guess, asal halal.
and expand, and expand, and expand the company for me to get enough mney to venture new bsnss.
and most important, creating jobs/opportunities to the needy.
i'm not a big fan of Mahathir, bt i kinda like most of his ideas especially helping our ppl.
our ppl here means malaysian. =)
not just malay, cos there are chinese and indians who are poor.
ntah ah, im not a religious person or a pious one.
tapi tak salah kot kalo pk na bt bsnss smbil2 b'ibadat(tlg org, bagi peluang dkt org, provide facilities).
pape pn, im hoping it will turn out to be real one day.

sekian.
bye2 penang. =')

alhamdulillah.
just finished toefl test.
but I think I did badly in the test,
especially speaking and independent writing.
after the test I started thinking of taking that test once again.
argghhh.
160usd kot.

okay.
toefl da lps.
now uni app plak.
harap2 smpt siapkn at least half by mid dec.

pindah kltn.
24th ni kot.

then I learned sumthin in life lately.
manusia byk ingat Tuhan hanya bila mereka susah, bila Tuhan tarik nikmat.
bila senang, gembira, memang susah na ingat.

Ya Allah,
engkau kurniakanlah kepadaku ilmu yang bermanfaat,
rezeki yang halal,
dan kesihatan tubuh badan.
amin...

sekian for this post.
