Summing Up 2011

Assalamualaikum.
Peace Be Upon You.

As you can see, I rarely update my lovely blog nowadays. Been busy with work. Stepping into 'dunia pekerjaan' seriously bring new definition to LIFE for me. Now I know about work stress, people around you are not always nice, complain from student, planning lecture untuk student, banyak la!!

Itu hal kat tempat kerja. How about hal kat rumah? Lucky me I still have parents, I live with them, masak semua tak payah fikir, baju pon tak payah fikir basuh ke apa, bibik ada. Lucky jugak I'm not married yet. I dont have husband who I have to layan and jaga, or kids that need attention. I just have my two sisters and a grandmother that I always neglect nowadays. Rarely sit with them, talk and bergurau senda. Even nak hantar adik pergi tuisyen pon sangat-sangat malas sebab penat and nak sangat tidur awal sebab kena bangun awal. My baby sis ajak main puzzle pon aku suruh dia main sorang-sorang sebab nak mark kuiz and assignment student. Nenek aku jangan cakap la, jumpa pagi je. Malam aku terperuk dalam bilik and nenek pulak tidur awal. What a lifeeee...

Nasib baik mak ayah faham kalau aku duk terperuk kat dalam bilik tak keluar sampai tak bergaul dengan orang dalam rumah. Thank you mama and daddy for your support! Hehe.

OK!! STOP complaining. This is life kan. Ni baru sikit. And I'm still trying to adjust. So to all my friends yang I've been neglecting lately, I apologize.

So, nak update apa ni? Bila tak pegang laptop, idea blog mencurah. Tapi bila dah on9, idea hilang ditiup angin. Haha!!

Oh!! 2011 is coming to an end. How time flies.... I saw couple of entries summing up their 2011. Well, I want to do the same. Lets go down the memory lane shall we? Well, MY memory lane la. Hehe.

JANUARY 2011
I still remember, my new year's eve was at LCCT. I SO HAPPY!!! Because I went back home for my brother's engagement ceremony. I reached KL at 11.45pm. Then I wait for my brother. I reached home at 12.30am 2011 and I surprised my dad *he was he only one that didnt know i was coming back*. I was so blessed coz I was surrounded with family on my new year. After my brother's engagement ceremony the next morning, I went back to Bandung to continue my exams. Hehe. You can read about this here http://balqisengal.blogspot.com/2011/01/1111.html . After I finished my exams, I went back to Malaysia  for my semester break. Then I have health problem. Ear infection. I was in pain for couple of days. Haha. My mom took me to the hospital and the doctor give me medicine yang for me, agak menjijikkan. Haha! Tapi elok. So, no complain. You can read about that here, http://balqisengal.blogspot.com/2011/01/bila-tuhan-tarik-nikmat-sihat.html. Overall, January 2011 was fun.

FEBRUARY 2011
I went back to Bandung on the 12th of Feb. Then I found out that I failed one of my subject. I cried SO HARD my eyes almost bleed. Literally. Alhamdulillah with the support of my family, bestfriends, classmates and housemates, I slowly accept the fact that I have to extend my study for 3 months. *means I cant graduate on August 2011*... Everytime I think about it, I cry. It was so devastating. But I know Allah will not test me with something I cant handle. So I just be cool about it. You can read about it here, http://balqisengal.blogspot.com/2011/02/overwhelming-amount-of-stress.html . So, overall, my february suck. Oh but theres a good thing happened on february. Thanks *ok should I thank them?? LOL* to the riot at Egypt, I become closer with a boy.

MARCH 2011
I always LOVE March. Why? The month of my birthday!!!!! Im 22!! And I had a lot of surprises!! My housemates surprised me at 12am. Suddenly come to my room, switch off the light and I saw the big round yellow cake with 22 candles!! Holly@$#& waa terharu beb!! Sumpah!! Then my Ibu *my orang gaji at Bandung* surprise me with nasi kuning yang sangat sedap. Then I received lots of wishes kat FB, Twitter and sms!! Then me and my clique went to Jatos and celebrate. My class-mate, Yana, baked a cake. I was so happy. But theres one thing that multiplies the happiness. I had a boyfriend that time. Yeah, me and the Egypt-boy made it official couple of days before my birthday. So yeah, I was really happy and my 22nd birthday was super awesome...!! Read about my 22nd birthday here, http://balqisengal.blogspot.com/2011/03/22.html . Oh and, I got my tajuk thesis and lecturer pembimbing time ni. So, mulalah buat thesis! Haha.

APRIL 2011
OK I hate my April. Because me and Egypt-boy ended our relationship. The hell? Hahaha!! We end it akhir April. So yeah, the whole April sucks! Why we end it? Hummm. Till now I'm not quite sure. But now, I'd say it was for the best for him. For me, its okay. This is not the 1st time my heart was crushed. Im used to it and I know I will survive. But still, I need some comforting words. So to those who was there for me, I cant thank you enough! Altho aku cakap aku ok, but honestly agak tak ok la sikit. Sebab aku rasa aku sangat la bodoh. Elok-elok hidup single takde siapa nak sakitkan hati, boleh pulak pergi couple. Duh! Haha. Ok to read about my almost-mental-breakdown during my breakup, read this, http://balqisengal.blogspot.com/2011/04/sikit-je-lagi-aku-nak-mental-breakdown.html .

MAY 2011
Since I was in need of comforting words, I went to a place where I know Im always welcome there and they love me like they love their own sister. I went to my ex-housemates @ my senior's house for 3days holiday. Kak Aimi, Kak Farah and Miss K helped me a lot and we had so much fun. Kebetulan, sambut birthday Kak Aimi and Miss K. So yeah, 3 hari tu la aku makan banyak sangat kek. Haha. And I went back home with the new me. Read here, http://balqisengal.blogspot.com/2011/05/im-tough-cookie.html . On May, I have to bentang my thesis proposal. The presentation was okay. Read about it here, http://balqisengal.blogspot.com/2011/05/300th.html .


JUNE 2011
On June, I made this 30 days challenge thingy on blog. Post an entry everyday for 30days. You can read it all here, http://balqisengal.blogspot.com/search/label/30%20Things%20in%2030%20Days%20Challenge . But the most interesting happened on June is, aku buat Odontectomy. Cabut gigi bongsu. Ok, satu pengalaman yang agak WOW bagi aku. Haha. You can read it kat 30days challenge tu. Oh, and aku sangat stress pasal hal thesis masa ni. Seriously.

JULY 2011
Myra's and my bro's birthdays, my friends's kolokium, my thesis walaupon ada masalah but alhamdulillah I overcome it one by one, then ada short sem untuk subject yang aku fail tu, and PALING happy ialah apabila my bestfriend datang Bandung!! The Makihara, with Faiz and Capik datang and I took them pergi volcano Kawah Putih and Tangkuban Perahu, shopping at Dago, Riau , Sukajadi and Pasar Baru, and paling best ialah bermain-main di Trans Studio!! I was soooo happy sebab selama 5bulan aku stress, kawan-kawan datang happy kan. Masa dorang nak balik, tengok dorang pergi tu sungguh meruntun hati. Aku siap nangis! Haha. You can read about it here, http://balqisengal.blogspot.com/2011/07/sayuhati-ini-makin-sayu.html .

AUGUST 2011
Awal Ogos, few of my friends dah graduate. Mereka yang takde sangkut subjek. Happy for them. Aku pulak, Im so happy sebab my thesis sudah 85% siap!! Tinggal bukukan skripsi. Sungguh happy. So I went back home for Ramadhan and Raya. 3 minggu je cuti. Sangat happy. Dan yang paling meng'happy'kan ialah apabila 2-3 hari sebelum raya, AKU BERJAYA MENGANYAM KETUPAT!! After 8years of trying to belajar buat ketupat, syukur tahun 2011 otak aku berjaya tangkap cara anyam ketupat. Haha. You can read about my ketupat journey here, http://balqisengal.blogspot.com/2011/09/perjalanan-ketupat.html . And tahun ni raya agak tak best sebab abang aku kerja time raya. And raya tahun 2011 ialah last dia raya as orang bujang. Hehe. This year aku buat open house. Khas untuk my friends. Ramai gak yang datang.


SEPTEMBER 2011
I went back to Bandung around 10th raya. I was sooooooooooooooooooo sad. Aku nangis banyak kali kat my family. Sebab rasa stress tiba-tiba datang. Yelah, lepas ni mesti stress kolokium, stress sidang, haih. So, ada sedikit kekacauan yang dibikin oleh certain orang masa nak daftar kolokium. Tapi semua went ok. So agak lega bila semua dah selesai cuma tinggal kolokium and sidang. Overall, September was a very stressful month for me.


OCTOBER 2011
I was sooo wrong when I say September tu stressful month. October lagi stress weh!! My kolokium was on 3rd Oct. It was okay. You can read about it here, http://balqisengal.blogspot.com/2011/10/beauty-behind-shukr.html . Then 14 days after that, SIDANG!! The scariest thing eva! I got panic attack yang sangat teruk. Sembahyang 5 waktu wajib nangis, call mak wajib nangis, luah kat kawan wajib nangis, tak on9 langsung sebab takut hilang focus, banyak ah!! I even got sick due to the overwhelming amount of stress. But alhamdulillah, tanggal 17 Oktober, aku telah lulus sidang dan secara rasmi tamatlah pengajian aku kat Universitas Padjadjaran. Alhamdulillah syukur tak terkata. You can read about it here, http://balqisengal.blogspot.com/2011/10/4-tahun-2-bulan.html . Then, I went back home for my brother's wedding!!! 22 Oktober was the day I officially dapat kakak. Read about it here, http://balqisengal.blogspot.com/2011/10/day-i-officially-dapat-kakak.html . Then belah laki, buat kat rumah aku masa 30Nov, buat 3 hari 3 malam, with 16 khemah, 3000+ tetamu, warna tema silver, hitam dan putih yang super elegant, I dare say that my brother's wedding was the wedding of the year kat Taman Ehsan.  I didnt post entry about it coz I was busy helping out with the wedding. Overall, October was the best month ever!!


NOVEMBER 2011
I went back to Bandung for my graduation ceremony on the 8th Nov. My mom and dad followed me. We stayed at hotel. The bad news is I got sick, and my graduation ceremony was me and my demam and sakit tekak. Sungguh tak selesa but it was ok. I said goodbye to Jatinangor and start to realize how living there changes me. From bad to good, also good to bad, hehe. Become more mature. Meet awesome people. Many more! On the 10th Nov, I went back KL for good. The feeling was indescribable when the airplane leaves Bandara Husein Sastranegara. I asked my mom 'Mama, is this for real?'. My mom said 'u deserve it'. I was so overwhelmed. Read about my graduation here, http://balqisengal.blogspot.com/2011/11/g-day.html . Then when I reached LCCT, I know that now I have a degree and a new tittle, PENGANGGUR! Haha. However, I got the call from SPA telling me that my interview with SPA and KKM was on 15th Nov. The interview went well. Read about it here, http://balqisengal.blogspot.com/2011/11/interview-with-spa-n-lfm.html . Then barulah aku betul-betul menganggur. Until I got call from my friend tanya berminat tak jadi lecturer. So I went for the interview jadi lecturer mengajar budak Diploma. It was kinda hard. Then I got call saying I lulus and boleh start kerja on the 5th December. Oh and MALAYSIA won the bola sepak for Sukan Sea, I was sooo proud and happy!! I watched the game and literally dapat heart attack! Haha. Overall, Nov was also great.

DECEMBER 2011
Awal December, before aku masuk kerja, me and my family pergi Singapore. We stayed there for 4days. Main-main kat Universal Studio and shopping sakan di Bugis and Orchard Road. Then 5th Nov, aku start kerja as lecturer kat G******** College. I was kinda glad I got this job. Because being a penganggur sucks!! Makin gemuk and tidurrr je kerja. So before I got lazy and all my ilmu melayang entah kemana, baik aku salurkan kat student. Haha. The job, like I described kat intro entry ni. Kadang-kadang ok, kadang-kadang buat aku emo. But, Im still trying to adapt. Pray for me! Oh and one more good news, my sis-in-law is pregnant!! Im gonna be an aunty!! Alhamdulillah....

Ok so itulah summary about my 2011. so, Over se over overall nya, my 2011, walaupun ada benda sedih terjadi, tapi benda best pon tak kurang hebatnya. When I look back, I realized that semua benda yang jadi memang ada hikmahnya. Allah takkan biar hambaNya kesedihan aite? Dia mesti bagi nikmat yang banyak. Kita je tak pandai syukur. Ujian dan dugaan Tuhan pon satu bentuk nikmat gak, sebab ajar kita lebih kuat dan tandanya Dia sayang kat kita and selalu nak kita dekat dengan Dia.

Thats all. Thank you Allah, for blessing me with such perfect and loving family, awesome bestfriends, great friends and frenemies, and macam-macam nikmat lain.

2011, bye-bye.

Welcoming 2012 with my wide open arms!! Haha. Hope 2012 ni aku kahwin. Sebab mak aku sebok suruh aku kahwin. Keh keh keh. Boyfriend? Alaaaa suruh makayah cari dah la. Lagi berkat kot.

Ok bye!!
