It's all good

I had a 40% paper due last monday and a lab test worth 25% on the same day
65% all in 1 day

and another 15% microecons midterm today

I'm just glad to say midterm is over at least for this week

And this weekend will be a blast
Friday-watching New Moon with Tully girls
Sat-Eco House cook off competition
Sun-Yoga and tea with Acadia President

and i just got this message from my friend in facebook

Halloo Afiqah! I was just thinking about you and wanted to say that I am very thankful that you are at Acadia. I don't know what I would do without you! I think that you are simply wonderful. That is all :)



Dear God,
Thank you for giving me this chance to meet some awesome friends who is really helpful

"treat other people how you want them to treat you"

FRIENDSHIP

I saw this quote in someone's room
"A FRIEND IS THE ONE WHO ACCEPT YOU ALTHOUGH THEY KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU"

not really the same quote but the meaning is there

for me i will consider someone my good friend if they have the courage to tell me that i am wrong and not praising me all the time
it does feel good if someone praise you but the truth is nobody is perfect
i need that kind of friend badly now


I have midterm this monday and structual geology which is supposed to be the hardest on Tuesday and not to forget the normal schedule i have . My classes are running from morning to afternoon to night on Monday and the exam is 8.30am on Tuesday.

I really should stop rambling because based on opportunity cost(just finish my microecons midterm)in order to gain something i have to give up something else
and i did miss the homecoming parade , i terribly and badly want to go
oh well back to studying
please pray for my success people

I'M NOT OK

Sometimes being the only Malaysian girl with the least quantity of Muslim is not good

I don't think i'm being such a good girl this days
sigh......
My grandmother passed away today and it was hard
I was lucky enough to see her during summer before i get her
but knowing that she won't be there anymore when i go back is just heart breaking

I was in the petrology lab studying for my igneous test, and i was crying while looking at the microscope which is bad because we are not supposed to bring liquid near it

I was crying a lot but it makes no good to me
i will have migraine after that and the only thing that i can do is sleep

and in this hectic hours of midterm , sleep is the last thing that i want to do

For everyone that is not in Canada, this weekend is Thanksgiving and i had consumed a lot of food .. I really mean a lot.
I am lucky enough to have invitation everyday from Saturday to Monday
Sat-potluck in Tully
Sun-a geology friend place
Mon-a Bangladesh family

If anybody is reading this post plz recite the fatihah for my grandmother
i love her but it's time for her to go

I really need to be committed now in my study
but i am trying hard to enjoy what i am doing
i have always want to be a doctor and i would say that over and over again

although i have a bond with a company after this i would try somehow get some kind of knowledge in helping people

maybe i can undergo the advance 1st aid, or be a part of Red Cross or anything that is related

I'm on hiatus

Sorry people
i was on hiatus for a long time


that doesn't mean that life in Malaysia is always good

for people who are close to me
you guys know what i mean
it's not as sweet as what i imagine
it's not all good as what i hope it would
it's not as what i planned earlier

but what important is i get to be with my FAMILY in this difficult time

i will post a picture of family portrait soon
we took them in the studio
and i don't think we will have this opportunity again for another 2 years

Going back to Canada in less than a month makes me sad and happy at the same time
sad to leave my family but happy that at least i don't have to face the problems

so people wait for the next post on my OBS and family portrait
you can be assure that it's a great picture of us

with love,
afiqah

when things go bad

I feel like crying but nothing is coming out
I feel like shouting but i am in the library
i feel like hanging myself but i know i have a lot of sins so i don't want to go to hell yet

i feel like hugging someone but i just got one yesterday
i need my mom badly now

what do you do when you had a really bad final
and you think you will only get a C
and that's the last thing that you need when petronas increase their GPA
and i am not ready to have a C on my transcript yet


i have macroeconomics tomorrow
i hope to maintain and get an A
won't be that bad
but for now PALEANTOLOGY keep hunting me
in my sleep, in my study, in my dream
the gulilt that I feel, it's killing me
torturing me from inside
maybe i shoudn't sleep at all the night before

i am just not ready for a C

Malaysia, wait for me, I'm coming home, soon soon soon, after my field school

~STUDY PLEASE~

Do you girls remember in Ridzuan Condo room 2001,
when petronas send a placement email
they put us in the same University
UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA
we were so happy
and we were hugging each other
and shouting

but i decide to go somewhere else

i'm not regretting anything
but a post to say HOW MUCH I MISS YOU TWO
how the two of you complete my life
it took me a while to learn and do everything by myself

AMY,
now i need someone else to teach me maths or understand a concept not memorizing them
or just to make me laugh
a joke that i enjoy , a good joke(some jokes are just stupid that it makes me angry instead of happy)

and AIMI,
i need a friend to gossip with me again
and someone to "alaaa dh gemuk"

and I MISS YOU TWO dearly and deepy

EXCITED for summer

People i am so excited for summer

ok updated plan
i made a few changes and hopefully it's the final one
but some few exciting changes would be fine too

I'm taking bio for spring semester
and when i counted the days it's only 12 days of classes(i mean seriously)
that won't kill me and i will put a big countdown in my room
then the exciting journey starts

mubeen from University of Toronto was planning a visit to the west side of canada with me
SO EXCITING
the route maybe.. is vancouver, Alberta, Calgary, Alberta--->MALAYSIA

So excited
I will take a flight from Alberta to Malaysia with Mubeen hopefully
It will be fun to have company
I am bored traveling alone or i might say running alone and panicking alone in airports
It is pretty annoying when you have to go to washroom or get some food
you have to drag your BIG HEAVY BAGS with you

i hope mubeen won't change his plan
let's just hope for the best


and Malaysia time
when i counted the days i might be there for only 2 months or a bit lesser

yes people RA traning in mid August
and my OBS for a week or 2

so i'm thinking that i don' want to work
malas laaaa, lgpun time is so limited

2 months to

1)eat MALAYSIAN food
2)take guitar lesson(ok i am so excited for this)
3)see my friends
4) go to UM and see if i can find any good research for honest thesis
5)jalan2 Malaysia(I really want to go to Kelantan because my younger brother just enrolled in the flight academy, yup he's going to be a pilot and i am so excited for him. It's like a dream come true for him although it costs a lot of money for my mom but i promised will help you up when I graduated)
6)visiting Aimi in Kuantan. Aimi syg , can you bring me to the beautiful, warm , sunny beach there
7)VALUABLE TIME WITH FAMILY-my brother is coming back as well
so i am planning a good trip for the whole family. It has been ages since all of us gathered and i have a 6 sibling and yes that is a lot

Ok i really really need to study for my midterm tomorrow(macroeconomics) not that bad
but i am too excited that i can't wait to write a post

take care people

and to all my friends and my invisible reader thank you for coloring my life and keep reading my blog
i realized that i can be emotional at times
sorry people if i ever hurt you with my words or actions
please forgive me
and i have a special video for all of you



love is all you need,
the one and only me-afiqah
