I'm a Part of Pasumian 2013/2014 Part I (Starting Point)

Assalamualaikum peepers,

Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar..

Bukan susah nak ajak orang bertakbir sama kan? Rasa bersemangat sangat malam ini nak merepek-repek. Melalut sampai pagipun boleh. Kenapa jadi macam ni? After months, forgot my password people. Have to reset it all over again.

For your information, I've just finished my Semester 1 Final Exam.

"Kak Farah belajar mana sekarang?"

Allah, lupa ceq nak habaq. Look up to the title of the post. Pemalas punya pasallah ini.

Alhamdulillah, sebenarnya dulu FHJ dapat merasa kejap jadi PETRONAS scholar tapi jodoh lebih kuat dengan PUSAT ASASI SAINS UM. Mesti ramai yang raa macam "Ruginya keluar" , "Kalau teruskan scholarhip dekat UTP itu memang dah sah-sah dapat kerja dengan Petronas then tak payah fikir pasal kena bayar balik pengajian", etc. I've heard a lot. 

”.... dan boleh jadi kamu benci kepada sesuatu padahal ia baik bagi kamu dan boleh jadi kamu suka kepada sesuatu padahal ia buruk bagi kamu. Dan (ingatlah), Allah jualah Yang mengetahui (semuanya itu), sedang kamu tidak mengetahuinya” (Al-Baqarah : 216)

 At first, I do have the same thought as you guys, but, I've made my decision, with the help of The All-knowing, to quit from being a PETRONAS scholar and came to PASUM to further my studies in Foundation of Science and later, in Bachelor of Dental Surgery in UM, insyaAllah, if He wills it.

SubhanAllah, let's start how on Earth I was selected to come to this 'creepy' place, well, back then, KK12 was just like a haunted mansion to me.

My beloved C108, KK12

As usual, typical Malay SPM candidates, looking for a fast track to succeed and become a degree holder asap. OK. Maybe I'm the only one who have that kind of thought. As someone, who was just studying in a daily, coed school, I do feel that it is impossible, to study among those ex-boarding school students. Well, I do admit that they are brainy at the first place. If you are having that kind of dream, to be part of Pasumian for the next batch, do proceed with it. InsyaAllah, if you're having high determination aiming high grades for each test or exams, you will achieve it, if and only if you work hard day and night (gifted students are exceptions). Choose PASUM as your first choice while completing your UPU application form.

Then, if you're selected for interview, that means you're having 99.99% to be part of Pasumian. Well, I think so. Just, maybe a few of you won't make it, to be shortlisted.

First week to be part of Pasumian, as usual, it's going to be orientation week or so call Minggu Haluan Siswa. Guest what? I've been through two weeks of orientation week, first in UTP (Minggu Aluan Siswa) then on the second week was in PASUM (Minggu Haluan Siswa). I can say that MHS was more relaxing than MAS. Mas was torturing us, like, hummm. What an experience. But I do enjoy both.

The best part of MHS was dancing Xi Shua Shua and Gummy Bear maybe? And the facilitators were so nice to us, totally awesome, especially Muz Marz with The Z. They share their experience as most of them were 4 flatters. Last day of MHS? It was Malam Persembahan something *I don't remember it specifically* and the performers were all Pasumian students who were luckily picked *there will be a form for you to list down your talents and experience in school during the early days of MHS* a.k.a. KASPER.

UM  Exam Hall, it took me 15 minutes to arrive here from KK12

Last but not least, don't be afraid of the exams as it is not as terrible as it may seems. InsyaAllah, if you do your tutorials well, revise what you have learnt, focus during lectures as tips may be given during that period.

I still have my notes with me, if you want it, then do tell me. Muehehehe. Yikes, it's already 1.10 a.m. people.

Enjoy KK12 scenery

LIVE WELL.LAUGH OFTEN.LOVE MUCH

P/s : I'm listing down the activities that I should do during my 3-weeks-holiday. Yeeehhhaaaaaa. Do pray for me, final results will be release approximately in 2 months time. LOVE YOU!
