I have officially passed all my papers which means that I have graduated from Massey University with a degree in business studies majoring in International Business. Alhamdulillah, I could not have done it with all the prayers from my family and friends. Graduating means I am back for good, won't have to be away from my family, my friends, my Malaysia, my Aslina. It has been a blessed year 2009, tough but rewarding in the end.


I was thinking of changing the blog name and layout and stuff...but I think I'll keep everything for now. I feel the title still serves its purpose for now, (meaning I am too lazy to change everything..heh). 


Life, as I said has been good. Back home for good, after 3 years abroad. Despite most people asking, if I would be bored re-entering working life, I am enjoying it more now after realizing being a student is working hard without getting paid. Its easier I guess, in terms of you have fun most of the time, and work hard for exams and assignments, but at the end of the day, I feel that I have reached a point where I wanna earn my keep another way, through working, and trying my very best not to bother Mak about financials. Its time to grow up. 


I have started working already, continuing for now with Louco Media, a multimedia design company in Ara Damansara. Actually have been working commission based for the past year, but now its full time, full on with Louco. Anyone needs our services please feel free to contact me ya? design, photography, corporate videos, events and consulting. 


Insyallah, me and the family will travel to New Zealand in May for my graduation ceremony, so have to save up for the airfare and the accommodation. Need to plan the trip carefully so everything will flow accordingly...will get on it soon.  


Just thought I would update a bit since the last post was left hanging for some, but most readers of this blog would already know the outcome.

The Uncertainty

To date, it has been 2 weeks since I have been back in Malaysia, and as amazing it has been, there still is that uncertainty that has been playing around in my mind. I came back before my results are out, results that will determine my plans. I have checked MyMassey twice now, in anticipation of maybe at least one grade pooping up to ease my worries, but nada...

and its the final month...

Its October. Finally, its my last month insyAllah as a student of Academics, because as they say, you never stop being a student after you leave school. I am excited to go back to Malaysia to be honest. I know most of you would say "apa bender lah kau Shah...Malaysia jugak kau nak..". Yes, I want Malaysia, because I am Malaysia. Many would say its bad now, with the politics and the crime and bad economy, the weather, the inconsiderate people. But, hey, if we Malaysians don't wanna live in our own country, who would? If we aren't willing to do something about it...who would?. Anyways, pardon my few sentences of ranting, but too many have said the same things, which are undeniably true, but why run away when we should stay and make things better. hehe

I have 2 assignments more to go, and a test, then its just counting the days to the end of October for my exams. I have started to pack a couple of bags, and hope to send them back ahead of my flight soon. Apart from that, I need to sell a few of my possessions, some unwanted, some required to help me last this final month. I am trying to sell them to friends, but it is hard at this stage, as not only myself are low on finances, especially in the closing months of the semester. I just hope everything falls into place, and get my stuff sorted before we have to move out of Marne St.

Someone asked me, "tak sedih ker bulan-bulan terakhir kau?". I actually at this moment have no straight answer for that, but leaning towards a "No". I have had friends that have left for good, who try their hardest not to go back to Malaysia. They love it here. I just like it here. Malaysia has so much more meaning to me. I know most of you would say, "eleh, ader awek skarang mesti lah Malaysia ader more meaning". I agree, she has given more meaning, but Malaysia just fits me better, the air I breathe is more sweeter in Malaysia, smog and smoke and heat and humidity runs through my veins. Clean air, cold winds just makes me ill too many times, haha. I can safely say cold weather..I had enough. Only vacations after this, no more living through it.

I can say that, I will miss this country. How can I not. I have grown so much over the past 3 years. The laughter and tears and evolving mentally will always be remembered. Friends I have made, Malaysians and from other countries, I will cherish. I know this post is somewhat pre mature. There would be every chance that I would not pass one paper, and have to eat my words, hehe..but i'm pretty confident that would not happen, insyAllah.

I will try and post something before I really leave.

In other news, my nephew will be a month old in a couple of days. So here are pictures of him....




The bottom right picture is probably the only picture I have seen him actually opening his eyes. Heh. Comel gak ah budak nih.

Untuk Raiyan Azzim

After months of eagerly waiting, finally my first ever nephew was born on the 3rd of September 2009. He is named by his parents, my abang and kak linda, Raiyan Azzim. Syukur Alhamdulillah, he is healthy, the mother is healthy, our family is truly blessed.

Meet Raiyan Azzim bin Ozidin...



He is very the fair, like his mother. At present time, i think he looks very much like Kak Linda, putih dan bulat. hehe. I for one was actually worried for the two, as complication after complications came, due dates were pushed forward and back. So for my nephew, my first of many acts of affection for you, and since I am not there to greet you in person, this is my present.. Nazarku untuk kamu...
