Ramadhan 2009

Peace upon u who read my blog.

I open my blog everyday but not in mood to put some posts here coz i feel like i'm more updated in Facebook. haha.
Just have my break fast just now, alone in my room coz my roommates have their break fast at mosque today.

Alhamdulillah, it's already a week of Ramadhan. Seems like time goes so fast and it's not really hard for fasting during classes period. This Ramadhan is the 4th Ramadhan without my dad. And yes,this time it seems like slightly different than the previous Ramadhan. This is my very first time fasting in university, and without my family around during sahur (eating time before start fasting) ,and also break fast with roommates/friends. It's a new experience anyway and i think it's not a problem for me except to wake up at 4.30-5.00 a.m for sahur. hahah. luckily my roommates are the easy-wake-up-person in the morning. huhu even my mom already tired to make a call for every morning to help me to wake up for classes. So bad of me, right? hahah


Few days back, another one JPY08 was in town! He's Takuma Iwata @Takku, my Discussion Group mate during SSEAYP,from Japan. He's in his Southeast Asian tour for 3 weeks and he went to Myanmar, Indonesia, Singapore, and next will go to Vietnam to meet VPYs and of course his sweetheart, the sweet Zuzu VPY before his trip to Bangladesh. Surprisingly he will go to Bangladesh alone without any contacts there which i think it's very challenging . And he went to Myanmar, the less-visited-country among PYs, which he said it's very strange and a bit weird to be there. I'm looking for it, Takku. So courious to know how Myanmar looks like. Have a plan to visit there with some of my MaPYs .InsyaAllah.. I'm so envy with JPY who always have a chance to travel alone, to many countries, in a short time, with a less pay! Oh JPY, please give me some of your Yen! ahaha. Just met Takku for a about 2hours, as bro Kay MaPY08 invite to join Takku and him for break fast at Sate Kajang Hj Samuri, near Tmn. Melati as they just come back from short- KLCC- Batu Caves-tour, as my university is just near to Batu Caves. This time i forgot to take photo while eating, but just snap a photo with Takku when i arrived my hostel and it's in Takku's camera.will update once i got it from him:)


Damn miss to hangout with my abang2 (brothers) and kakak2 (sisters) and one and only adik (youunger sister) in MaPY08. And yeah, tomorrow will meet them and also MIYP-secreatariat '09 gangs and also other batch of MaPY tomorrow . Miss their tease, jokes, and laughter. Tomorrow- 29th August we'll be having a secretariat meeting with En.Mod frm KBS (ministry of youths and sports) for the Country Programme, and homestay when Fuji Maru (the new ship after Nippon Maru) stop in Malaysia in this November. Feel like so excited to work again with them, and yes, for the new PYs of SSEAYP batch 2009. the good thing is, the ship will come after my final exam ended. Thank you Allah for giving me the chance for me to help the new SSEAYP batch. huhu

Now I've just finished 3 of 7 of my mid-term exam. Next week i have 3 more to go and the another will be done after Hari Raya. And i can say that, seems like i'm playing around with the test by not-really-read-the books. Which is very BAD:( Hope i manage to work harder than now.

P/S: I've bought ticket for Hari Raya vacation,which will be on 13th September.will be moving from IIUM to JB. Can't wait.

New semester, new friends, new stories

Pheww, it's already the 4th week of schooling since i start the new semester. Yeah,8 subjects for this sem including the CCAC subject. Seems hard, but yeah, what to do lah. Have to go through jugak.

A lot of thing happened, and yes, the Pre-Departure Training (PDT1) for the NEW mapy-batch2009 was done (31st to 2nd of August). woahh, i feel deeply touched as my moments as a PY were already passed;( i miss those times!

As what i can see is, MAPY09 are a bit matured, compared to my batch, as their ages are apparently in range of 25 above. only 2 PY are 20-21 yr old. During my time, Vynecia and I were 18-19yr old. And yea, i feel excited to watch them during their training. I'm being one of the committee for this training, as secretariat again under my super friendly boss, Abg Khairul,kak mas,and the others. And during this training, another Abg Kerol @Kerol Kilat, Bro Wan and Bro Mael were the physicial and discipline committees. and the others are the same faces of cheerful ex-py who actively contributes to KABESA and KBS like, bro kay, kak yan, kak ila, kak ida, bro zaidi, vee, kak alia, etc. But no bro wandy this time. coz he's undergo the Wataniah Training until 22nd august i think. And yeah, happy to meet the friendly KBS officers again like En.Mod, Kak Fadh, En.Saufi and En.Lan. Make me remember all the times working with some of them in MIYP09.

During the 2nd day of training, kak sun, kak sun, mei peng, and tery also come along, it was fun to meet back many mapy08 in a day! :) that's what the best thing in KL life is about -meeting MAPY08:) or other mapy batch too.

The few weeks back, i met Tuan VPY08 with Mimi VPY08 and few MAPY08 -dennis gan, kak sun, tery and vyencia, and soma (a while). We went to the Ampang Lookout point again, and the exciting time was the time we open the special gift from JAPAN to all PYs, that's -THE SMALL MODEL of Nippon Maru Ship! ;) It's sooooooooooo cute! and we felt like ...'woahhhhhhhh' when we opened it. so touched, and etc feelings that can't be express by word. All the memories came back.

and then we went to Chinese Pasar Malam for the very 1st time in my life .It's located at Taman Connought. Learned a lot about the pasar malam@night market and can see many differences with the Malay Pasar Malam. Kak Sun being the story-teller about the pasar malam. haha. oh forgot to mentioned, i'm the only malay during this trip. hehehe. so goood eh,

chinese night market

this is the Chinese traditional-favourite-ice cream
according to Kak sun and dennis
cute kan?

It's like so fun eventhough it's like a very short hangout. The next day i have class at 8am. Yeah it's tiring but FUN! :p

JAPANESE LEARN MALAY CULTURE

Last 23rd and 24th March, UM has organized a traditional dance (23rd) and creative dance (24th) competition in conjunction with their FESENI 2009 (Festival Seni) /Art Festival. I went to the 24th performance to support Saki JPY08 as she involved in the performance as representative of her college.

I went there with Vynecia, bro wandy and bro k (mapy08) and also bro nazron bpy08 and his bro as he's in KL for few days for holiday with his family. So, we bring him to give support to Saki as well in UM (University Malaya).I really impressed with Saki coz she can dance Malay dance perfectly (even better than us).haha .she learn in a short time yet she can perform well. Same goes to her Malay language. Now i can speak Malay to her, even SMS in malay language to her, and she can reply to me in Malay as well! Haha. Here's some photos during the performance.

SSEAYP report

35th SSEAYP Official Report by JPY08 1 March 2009

Bon Voyage signed by 330 PYs in NipponMaru ship
(can see my name:EIFA! )

I am lazy to update my blog lately due to some reasons. First, because of my classes and activities in my university. And second, because of my natural laziness. Hehe :p

Now it's about 3 months after the SSEAYP'08 programme. And as the other PYs, i think it's only time measurement to be counted, but our brotherhood and friendship spirits will remain forever:) All the moments is still fresh in my mind and believe it or not, i think it's will be remembered forever in my life. Continuous relationship through calls, chats and 'facebook' (almost everyday) make us more close and seems like we're still in the programme.:)

All that happened is like a dream. A dream that i never expect it to be happened in my reality life.:52 days mix around with various type of people, stay in new countries which i haven't went before, learn new cultures, exchange opinions and thought will other religion and races, having 6 new families and the best part is to represent my beloved country, Malaysia as a youth ambassador.

Currently, the 35th SSEAYP official report session 2009 was held in Japan. All admin staffs and Japan Participant Youth(JPY) 2008 were having the evaluation and report session to the government of Japan. It's really make me cry when i see all their pictures (in Take's facebook) because it make me recall every minutes during the programme. How i really x1000 wish to rewind the time, so that i can't repeat the programme and meet back all the PYs. sigh* (if only doraemon really exist. will borrow the back to the past machine.hahah:p )

I'll start my writing on my SSEAYP experience from now on.Because I'm in sseayp sick mode again right now. Hope i can make it:)

And BIGcongratulations to Indonesia Participant Youth (IPY) '08 for the successful Post-program activity on 29th Feb 2009 (smile2theworld) .clap!clap!clap!
Malaysia Partcipant Youth (MaPY) '08 coming soon :)

And congatulations to all selected participants for International Youth Exchange Programme 2009. I heard the Selection Camp will be done on 27th -29th March 2009. Curious to see the future PYs for 36th batch of SSEAYP 2009. Good luck!:)

p/s: I am looking foward for 10 TALENTED AND PATRIOTIC youths to represent Malaysian Youths in my Youth Development Group project :

Japan -Asean (JASEAN) Bridge Programme 2009 .

DATE: June 2009
VENUE: Thailand
PARTCIPANTS: aged 15 to 22 yr old

kindly send your application to my email: sherryfah88@gmail.com by 20 April 2009. Selection of participants will be held. :))

JPY in Malaysia: Saki JPY08

saki,bro kerol and me

me and saki

Yeah, i'm not updating my blog for few days.
coz busy with my classes.
anyway, the holiday is not exciting at all to me.
1st, because it's very short.
2nd, because nothing to do.many shops/places close.
so, i just sleep all day (haha!) and spend time with my family of course.
and do some research on my assignment as well.
that's for my 4days in JB (23rd-27th January 2008)

Today i met my SSEAYP friend a.k.a my cabin neighbour on board Nippon Maru,a.k.a my SG-I mate, a.k.a the cute, fun n funny JPY08..
She's SAKIIIIIIIIIII JPY 08.

This is Saki.we call her sakinah.:p

I planned with Bro Khairul MAPY08 to meet her today.coz i'll be busy for the next few weeks.with mid-term and university's programme. So i take the chance to meet her today. We met at Mid Valley.coz it's near to UM, the place she's studying now (her course is in Malay Language!) woahh;0)

Wahh, really miss her.and the bad thing is..I didnt know that today her birthday!!
haha...I just knew it when i gave her a baju kurung.then Bro Khairul said, 'Wahh..it's a birthday present for Saki?'..I thought he's misunderstood coz i give saki that baju kurung, but then it's really Saki's birthday today.Haha.So, i give her at the right time lah.Haha~

I used to give her on board. But that time i didn't bring extra baju kurung to exchange with her.That's why i give her today.Hehehe:)

We just walking around Mid Valley ..and talk2.then go to Garden.and talk2 again.
We went to one like gift shop.Then we play this. Haha:p

the duck is so kawaiii ne....
we dun stop laughing because of the duck until we get out from the shop,and seems like the salesgirl is not comfortable with us because we play the duck.but we dun bother.haha

luckily bro kerol buy something from that shop(one baby duck for saki as birthday present).
if not, we might be scolded by the salesgirl.hahah:p

and then after we have went around the shopping complex, we went for dinner before going back. i think few hours is not enough for us, and we actually proceed this sudden outing plan because bro khairul know that today is Saki's birthday and just want to celebrate it,and as for me,this is the best time, i mean free time for me to go out from university, as I will be busy for the next becoming weeks. MID-TERM EXAM WEEK.

i hope that we can manage to meet back in the future weekend as Saki will be in malaysia until May 2009. And the good news is, more JPY08 will come in this March! wahhh it's great!
i really miss my fellow PYs!! ;(

SSEAYP SICK PATIENT GATHERING

yesterday, 28th dec 2008, i attended Bro Kay mapy08 brother's wedding at Jeram, selangor.
i went there with 6 other mapy08: kak sun, kak yasmin, terry, vynecia, bro wandy and bro amir.
we went there by kak sun' car. bro amir went there by bro wandy's car.

all these are sudden plan.

at last we can make it.hahah.
and that was my 1st time going out from my university by bus, and take LRT train and komuter at the place that i've been never went before.haha.

we're very very excited to meet back few weeks after SSEAYP! and we talk about SSEAYP along the way to bro Kay's house.
you know what? we wore our B1 attire to that wedding ceremony! so coool right?? ~
and everybody look at us...i think the might think that we'll perform something for the ceremony.hahahah.but we're not.

we keep laughing at the ceremony. Kak sun said we're like in the homestay program like in SSEAYP.haha.
and we said we'll perform 3 minutes performance after we eat! haha.

all the thing we talked about is only about SSEAYP. every topic we talked about will be related to SSEAYP. ohh so sseayp sick!


and after the wedding, we went to Bro wandy's house, coz it near.his house is in Klang.

we watched the National Day Performance vidoe together ..and we laughed to see ourselves dances..so funny..

and i just know that so many spontaneous acts done by the MaPY boys that we never planned and never do during the training.hahah. but it looks nice and make the performance more lively and funny.haha. Only MaPY know what was that .

after we watched the video, we actually planned to go back. but suddenly we decided to eat together. then bro wandy bring us to the Jusco , i'm not sure the place's name.

And gain! ou sseayp sick virus come again!

Bro wandy act like he's the foster parents, bring 5 of us (me, kak sun, terry, vee, kak min) to the shopping mall. then he pretend like introducing us to the shopping mall, what the best place to go inside the mall..etc.

Kak sun act like she's the JPY. haha she told bro wandy about what she can and can't eat. haha:p

then, when we passed by the money changer, bro wandy said to kak sun " if u want to change your money to malaysia ringgit, you can change it here. i'll wait for u'

hahah. all that reminds us to our Homestay program during sseayp.hahaha.

after that, we go to the steamboat restaurant. and we ordered a steamboat set for 6 of us.

Bro wandy treat us! wahh he's very kind ne? thanks bro.

he said, never mind, that's become his responsibility to take care of the foster PYs.hahah:p

the, we chat x10000 and talk x10000 about sseayp. all the things happened in sseayp. about the funny thing, sad moments, happy moments..nippon maru gossips..etc.and we talk so LOUD and laugh and at times scream so loud. i can see people around look at us. but i just don't bother.because that make us happy.hahah.

we're like in our own world. yeah.our SSEAYP WORLD.hahah

until we don't realize about the time. and actually our steamboat almost finished.

then we decide to go back. it's around 6p.m something . i cant remember.haha

then on the way out from the Jusco, we still keep on talking about sseayp.

until we forgot where we parked the car. haha.

bro wandy will go to different way on that time. and we want to go to the Bdr tasik selatan lrt station back. 5 of us followed Kak sun's car. then when we want to get our own way..

we act like we want to throw the RIBBON to bro wandy as our foster parent (like we throw ribbon to our foster parents when the ship want to sail back to the next port) hahaha.

it looks VERY CRAZY. but we enjoyed it.and we laughed like crazy.haha:p

Ohh my God...we're very SSEAYP SICK.

No SSEAYP No Life ;)

Welcome reception @Tokyo, Japan. (Oct 2008)

Hye all..sorry for not updating this blog with my SSEAYP '08 stories.. I know some of contingent mates have update their blog or journal about SSEAYP wonderful journey. I'll do it so.. in this becoming weeks. InsyaAllah.

Now I'm still busy with my university matters as I'm just register officially as student of IIUM,Gombak last 15th Dec 2008, right after Malaysian Contingent finished the Evaluation /Feedback session with the Ministry of Youth and Sports & KABESA (11th Dec - 12th Dec 2008).

I've entered IIUM a bit late on 15th Dec coz i couldn't attend the registration day on 10th Dec 2008 coz i'm still not come back from Japan that time (we arrived Malaysia at 11th Dec 2008, 3.30 p.m ) . Because of the late registration, all the procedures become late as the usual.
I've missed the *APT and EPT Test which held earlier on 11th Dec, i've missed the *TPT test which held on 15th Dec morning, and so on. Everything. Haihz. But luckily i can undergo the Ta'aruf Session ( orientation day ) for new intake student on 16th Dec -19th Dec). If not, I've to attend it next year on April!

So..i need to take all that test coz it's compulsory for all IIUM new intake student. Recently, on 20th Dec '08, i took the *TPT Test. Alhamdulillah. So next,I've to sit for the main test which will make sure when I'm gonna start my main course , Bach. of Human Science (Psychology). If I exempted for that test, so I can start my class for the Psychology course. If not, I have to take classes for the English and Arabic. So ..guys... pray for me so that I'll passed the test okay?:)

Today is my last day in JB (i'm going back to JB since 20th Dec 2008 ). Tomorrow (25th Dec) i'll going back to my university at 9.30 a.m . Wish me luck for the test ya.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR to all my Christians friends..
