Assalamualaikum w.b.t.
 Its been a very tragic years for Malaysian as two of Malaysia Airlines plane went gone - MH370 and MH17. While the MH370 is still unkown its location, the flight MH17 was shot down over the Ukraine airspace with 298 onboard on 17 July 2014. The flight journey was from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur.

This is my tribute to the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 (MH17). The crew (15) were Malaysian and about two-thirds of the passengers were Dutch (193), while many of the other passengers were Australians (27) and Malaysians (28).

"You went so soon, so soon; You left so soon, so soon; I have to move on ’cause I know it’s been too long; I’ve got to stop the tears, keep my faith and be strong; I’ll try to take it all, even though it’s so hard; I see you in my dreams but when I wake up you are gone; Gone so soon..." - So Soon by Maher Zain

Condolences to their families and relatives. Al-Fatihah.

Just a little sharing.
Yang mana pakai smartphone tu, which I guess 90% of you are, manfaatkanlah.
Jangan duk install benda mengarut je. Install apss yang berfaedah sikit. Sikit pun jadi lah.

Ni antara apps yang aku selalu guna;

Facebook: Be friends or follow orang orang yang kita nak jadi. Contoh: kalau minat photography, join group photo, add/follow master photography. So that kita dapat tau sikit sebanyak perkara tentang benda tu.

Twitter: Selain follow geng-geng kita, follow sekali news and education profile. Atleast tengah buang masa scroll timeline, ade lah sikit general knowledge masuk.

Instagram: Yang ni jangan duk follow ramai sangat, nanti cepat habis quota! Hahahaha.


Notes app: Tulis segala apa yang terlintas dalam otak. Train jari taip dengan laju and train otak tangkap benda penting. Try dengar lagu and taip lyric dia. Sekarang dah 21st century, what do you expect akan jadi pada tahun tahun mendatang? Semua technology. Pergi dengar talk, then try to type every points that's important. Biar penuh note dalam apps tu. Free time nanti baca balik.

Dropbox: Yang ni pun aku selalu jugak guna. Assignments, documents or notes buang dalam ni. Senang nanti bila bila nak akses buka internet notes ada dalam tu. Takde laa alasan "alaa note dalam pendrive, dalam hdd" whatsoever. Tapi space dia limited lah. Kaya, ada duit boleh upgrade. Hahah

Calendar: Apps calendar tu bagi bermakna sikit. Selain save birthday mak abah pakwe makwe, save la jugak date exam, date hantar assignment, date meeting. Bayar phone mahal mahal tak nak guna apps apa guna. Rasa kaya sangat la tu ?! Phui

Remote PC: Ini ada banyak jenis, aku guna BT Remote PC really helpful masa presentation yang guna laptop. Korang boleh control lappy dengan guna smartphone tu via bluetooth. Takde laa tercengang depan lappy tekan 'next' halang view audience nak tengok layar skrin tu. Its free. Tapi kalau berbayar punya version lagi banyak kegunaan dia. Dunia, semua nak duit.

MySolat: Info untuk waktu solat wherever you are. Quran tak berape feel baca dalam phone, lagi feel pegang quran sebenar. :)

Office suite / PDF reader: Mesti ada! Senang nak view docs. Tengah duduk dalam tren or teksi or tunggu pakwe datang baca la note kejap.


Recorder: Yang ni pun guna gak. Masa dengar talk/speech on je. Sambil tu type la isi penting dalam notes. Yang taksempat nanti dgr balik. Easy.

Maps/Waze: Nak gi mana mana senang. Boleh teroka sendiri takpayah tanya makhluks lain. Ade kaki ada tangan ada otak ada smartphone, jalan! Dah umur 18/19/20 dah, try to stand on your own. Terkadang bila sesat lagi kita ingat jalan tu. Tapi tengah malam jangan duk try. bahaya!

MyTeksi: Ni duduk memana area KL ni senang panggil teksi. Kekadang ada promosi.
Flipboard: Ini best! Pilih topic korang minat, nanti ada news from that topic. Boleh tambah knowledge.

Maybank2u/Cimbclicks: Senang nak cek balance, nak transfer or nak ape ape je la on internet banking. Takde lah beratur panjang kat atm, semata nak check balance? Apa jadahnya. -.-

VSCO/Snapseed/Pixlr: Sebab aku minat photography tapi takde natang dslr tu, pakai menda ni best. Hari hari edit touch up photo. Hahahaa. Then up insta, then tunggu like. Pathetic! Aku la tu. Kah! -.-

GSC/TGV cinemas: Nak tengok muvi plan awal sikit. Takde la pegi beratur lama lama sampai depan tiket habis. Menangis. Takde guna. Padan muka. Habis masa. Balik.

Wordsearch: The only game yang aku ada. Macam best. Games dalam phone macam takbest bagi aku. Lagipun cepat makan battery. Nak game, on laptop, on pc. Bukak FIFA. Let's the game begin! ;)

Hmm, itu je la kot aku yang selalu guna.

Jangan duk takut sangat nak guna benda benda ni. Takut habis battery lah, habis yang powerbank besar gedabak bawak kehulu hilir buat mende? Beli mahal mahal guna lah!

Biar celik IT sikit otak tu. Manfaatkan teknologi yang ada, biarlah guna apps trial je pun. Haha. Tak terasa ke nak ada technology macam muvi Iron Man? Kadang kadang apps dah ada dalam phone, tapi takpernah guna pun. Explore sikit phone sendiri tu. :)

Kita semua future leaders, insyAllah. And future bukannya zaman batu. Tengok tahun 2004 phone mostly takde touch screen lagi, now TV pun dah touchscreen. Lagi 5-6 tahun? Wallahuallam. Korang invest ratus ratus sometimes ribu on phone, takkan lah setakat nak guna front camera buat selfie je? Takkan nak scroll twitter and play CoC je? Be smart! :)


Okay now cer cuba try share apps korang selalu guna pulak? ;)

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

 Kalau Arsenal dah berubah dari Nike kepada Puma, aku pun ada perubahan yang besar. It's not something yang boleh dibanggakan, tapi just to prevent any confusion di masa depan. Fact is, ia memang satu benda memalukan pun aku rasa. But I'm going to tell it anyway.

 Kalau sebelum ni korang korang nampak banyak post aku berkenaan CFSIIUM, kat CFSIIUM, perihal perihal aktiviti CFSIIUM and UIA umumnya, after this you guys maybe takkan nampak post post gitu lagi lepas ni. Sepanjang dua tahun aku di CFSIIUM, aku pun taktahu mana silap aku. Aku just pergi kelas, join club society and sometimes keluar jalan jalan like other students. Mungkin memang bukan jalan aku kat situ and sesungguhnya perancangan Allah SWT lagi baik. So, long story short - aku bukan budak UIA lagi! Bukan CFSIIUM and bukan IIUM! Aku sekarang hanyalah bekas UIA, bukan bekas tupperware okay!

Tinggal kenangan. Gonna be always in my heart :'(

 Result final exam final semester aku taklah membanggakan even memalukan. Dengan CGPA yang terkapai kapai di hujung tanduk, aku decide untuk sambung perjalanan hidup aku kat somewhere else.

"The hardest thing in life is deciding whether to give up or just try harder."

 So, lama aku fikir before buat decision untuk just give up on this journey. And begin a new journey, a new chapter in my life. Berkali jugak aku terfikir - "Damn dua tahun aku buat apa la kat sini, nothing! Takde apa except wasting time and money." And berkali jugak aku terpikir nanti orang dah done with degree aku mungkin baru melangkah ke dunia degree. But then aku terpikir lagi, it's okay Allah dah set up something bigger for me, insyAllah.

“Don’t be afraid to fail. Don’t waste energy trying to cover up failure. Learn from your failures and go on to the next challenge. It’s OK to fail. If you’re not failing, you’re not growing.” – H. Stanley Judd 

 Last week aku officially bergelar mahasiswa UniKL MIIT. Majoring in Multimedia. Something yang aku rasa memang ada dalam diri aku, yang aku betul gila-gilakan. Passion. I hope jalan aku pilih ni adalah yang terbaik untuk aku eventhough aku dah korbankan dua tahun di CFSIIUM. Pengalaman and ilmu yang aku dapat kat situ amat bermakna. Lima tahun di Maahad Muhammadi Lelaki, then 2 tahun di CFSIIUM - Garden of Knowledge and Virtue. And now aku di sebuah institusi terbuka UniKL. Hopefully ilmu and pengalaman dapat membimbing aku agar sentiasa di jalan yang benar. First week aku still culture shock. Now pun still try to adapt cara hidup baru ni.

 Kampus aku takdalah sebesar Kampus IIUM Gombak tu. Even Campus CFS pun lagi besar. Hahah. Kampus aku hanyalah sebuah bangunan 31 tingkat kat tengah tengah bandar beberapa blok dari Sogo Shopping Complex tu. Trust me, dalam tu tersangatlah sejuk macam dalam refrigerator. Bagi aku yang sememangnya taktahan sejuk, tetiap masa menggeletar dalam tu. Even nak menulis pun susah. Taktahu cemana nak survive lagi enam semester kat sini. While hostel aku pulak kat Kerinchi. Just a few minutes walk from LRT Kerinchi. Boleh tahan la hostel ni, tapi aku rasa lagi better la bangunan ABC, just sini boleh keluar masuk up till 12am tetiap hari. So far everything okay la kott except that aku shaking every class I attend. Pergi kelas pun naik bas pasal jauh sangat, and freshmen takdibenarkan bawak transport sendiri. Maybe semester kedua nanti aku nak cari rumah sewa la selesa sikit. Kelas kitorang bebas pakaian apa asalkan sopan.

A new chapter.

 Demam Denggi!

 Unfortunately aku takdapat nak cerita panjang pasal suasana pembelajaran kat UniKL MIIT ni sebab aku sempat masuk kelas satu hari je lepas 3 hari orientasi. Hari first kelas, aku dah demam menggelatar and pening gila. Malam tu aku ditahan wad sementara PPUM sebab low blood pressure. Esoknya aku tak ke kelas and just terbaring kat bilik. Lusa pergi PPUM lagi sekali tapi kali ni dengan uncle aku. Sekali lagi semalaman aku kat situ untuk masuk air, but this time nurse cakap aku suspect denggi and platelet darah aku low - 72. So, terus decide untuk balik Kelantan sebab susah kat KL nanti takde yang nak urus and tengok-tengokkan. Maghrib tu terus naik flight balik Kelantan and mendarat je terus bergegas ke HUSM. Tak balik pun. Sampai HUSM sah denggi and warded sampai lah dua hari lepas - 2 July 2014. Memang pedih and letih gila rasa tubuh badan.

 Alhamdulillah sekarang dah sihat sikit, cuma ada lagi pening pening kepala but overall I'm okay. InsyaAllah kalau takde pape Ahad ni dah balik UniKL balik and balik lagi nanti hari raya.

 Akhir sekali, thanks CFSIIUM dah banyak mengajar aku macam macam benda and bagi aku banyak pengalaman. And kepada geng geng yang bakal menyambung degree taklama lagi aku ucapkan All The BEST! Yang ambil langkah macam aku ni, aku wish bersabarlah and tabah dengan segala apa yang mendatang. Kita mungkin pernah gagal, tapi bukan selamanya kita gagal. Bangkitlah!

 Last sekali, selamat berpuasa guys! :)

MEANING OF: flashback

1. a transition (in literary or theatrical works or films) to an earlier event or scene that interrupts the normal chronological development of the story.
2. an unexpected but vivid recurrence of the past experiences.

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

 It's 2 May 2014 already, which mean my journey here in Centre For Foundation Studies IIUM Petaling Jaya are about to end. The final exam of the final subject is on 12 May, and then it's over! Two years of walking, running, stumbling and everything is finally has come to an end.

 The first week here was a a bit tense. Well, it the first time for everything - eat, sleep and everything with the persons I just met. Everything was just so awkward and nervous for me. So here is my post on the first week I'm here - HERE. But it wasn't the worst of all as I was not here with completely strangers. I'm entered here with some fellows from the previous high school. So, I wasn't really alone. Each time I found a free time, I gathered with them. This occured at most of time. Not until one or two month after. I know it's kinda bad that I don't get along with my new friends, new environment. But I rather describes myself as slow and steady person. I am who I am. For the records, I think in high school, my life was really flat. Yeah, it's nothing. Not until I'm in Form 5, where I started to get along with others. Go here and there. Made friends with everyone. Introversion, I think.

On the end of first semester. :)

Mathematics classmates on the second semester. :D

 After few semesters, I began to realize that I had to adapt with new environment. So I just go with the flow. I spent times with roommates. Enjoys eating and playing games together. Everyday just got better. I also let myself joined a club - Culture And Arts Club, where I gave my speech in front of a big number of audiences for the first time in my life! During the registration, they offered me to be a part of the committee members. So, I thought after give my name to them, I'm in. NO! I had to go for an interview. And then had to past an election session which need the participants to give a speech for about 5 minutes. I was like - I'm DEAD! Yeah, I never give a speech. Not even in Malay. And now I have to talk in English, front of a total about 200 students, for 300 seconds! I think that the most craziest thing I've done in my life! But thanks to Allah that I made it. I was elected to be the Assistant Head of D'Graphic! :D  My passion in photography also had help me a lot in living my life here. If it wasn't for photography, I absolutely ain't gonna gave the speech. Hahaha. I also had myself being a part of AMAL - the Alumni for Maahad. The first 3 semesters in CFS was kinda hectic for me. Almost every night I got meeting to go. And almost every weekend I went for outing, alone. Just me and my camera, exploring the city. :)

KLIA! It's has long story here. Haha. :)

Cycling with the Environment & Nature Club!

 Academically, I was quite okay in the first three semesters. The subjects taken were not really difficult, yet. I wasn't really a good student who always spend his time with books and notes. I just study when there's quiz or exam. And when the lectures ask for the tutorial set. That's me. I rarely went to library except when the lectures held the class there. I also not into study group things. I prefer to study alone, while listening to the songs and eating snacks. Haha. Even when there's group assignment, I'll do it by myself. That the bad thing about being me. I hardly communicate with others. I don't know why but that's how an Afiq Fida'iy works. After about one semesters, I'm no longer sticks to my fellows from hign school. Some of them continues overseas. mostly in Egypt/ And few change course to Economy which is not in the same campus. That's when I started to adapt with the surrounding. But that also the downfall of my academic. When my friends changed course I think that I should follow them. Simply because I think I can't do it. The courses become harder and harder. Yes, there are who excel. But it wasn't me. The next semester I tried to change program but rejected. My studies went down. My CGPA also worst. Seriously until now, I don't know what to do anymore. Maybe a new beginning can help me. I also starts to find my biggest passion, so that I know what I gonna be. Time is everything. Now I am 20. Some of my friend already started their degree and some already done with their diploma. But me, still struggling to know myself.

Dear roommates!

CAC 2012/2013 and 2013/2014 lines-up!

 After a year in CFS, I'm became more friendly with my roommates and classmates. On the first semester of the senior year, we went for a hiking at Broga Hill. Here the post. :D Before, I always had my lunch or dinner alone, but now I spend sometimes with them. Not everytime, just few times in a week. I still had my 'lone ranger' time 'cause I need them. Haha. I don't know why, but I really enjoy my time alone. I also has resigned from the CAC as I really hate had meeting all the time! Haha. No. Actually I just find myself too busy in these and those, so I need to reschedule my time. My last program with them was on the Annual Grand Meeting where the new lines-up of the committee membes are elected. I do enjoyed every programs that I had done with the club. I still look back at the photos that I took in every programs they ran. Yeah actually I always look back at the every photos I took when I'm free. Looking back at those photos somehow made me happy. Crazy a bit maybe. Hahaha.

:)

 Now, in the sixth semester, the final semester, I free from any societies in the campus. Just enjoying my last semester, and focus on the three subjects taken. Sometimes, I went to the talks and shows, just to fill up my time and make sure that I won't regret any of it. Even in the SMAC last month I still took photos, despite that I ain't attached to any society and that I have to borrow the camera from other. Still do it for my passion. I love taking pictures. And I also happen to have a disease that I think every single soul of my age is having - crush! Really hate it because I'm really bad with all this heart feeling. I don't know how and why and when. All of sudden, she's already stuck in my head. Honestly, its sick and good at the same time. See? Complicated huh! Really hoping for a happy ending though.

 So that's all the things that I wanna tell you guys, I think. And my roommates and I already planning for a short vacation right after our final exam next two weeks. So the next post maybe about that vacation! :))

All the best and good luck for me, you and you'll on the final exam!
May Allah ease us all. InsyaAllah.
Assalamualaikum. :)

p/s: Hope you're not some kind of grammar checker. I'm here to express not to impress.

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

 Hi guys! How are you guys doing? It's 0309 hours already, and I think you guys should be sleeping right now. Haha.

 Last weekend was very hectic and tiring for me. With the CFSIIUM annual event's SMAC14, and also my brother's trip to KL for his scholarship interview. Alhamdulillah that everything went well.

Geng Engenius! *Foto - ShauqiQhr

 As for second week of Sports & Martial Arts 2014 event organized by CFSIIUM, I decided to borrow my friend's DSLR. Last year SMAC was so great cause I still had my DSLR with me and I don't have to borrow it from anyone. But this year, I had sold my DSLR, so I had to borrow it. It's not that I'm the official photographer for the program. I am not even related to any societies in CFSIIUM this semester. But I just can't watch and cheers for the team. I had to shoot photos. It's in me. Haha. Each time I saw students with their DSLR, I be like ughh why did I sell it in the first place. Hahaha.

 I also had rented a tele lens to shoot the games. Tamron 18-200mm. It's quite good even though it's very useless in low-light condition. Just do the best.

 For this second week of SMAC, the event started after the Jumuah prayer, and I already prepared myself with the camera and all my equipments. The football match for our team, Engenius scheduled to begin at 1630 hours, but I was there since 1430 hours because I wanna shoot every team that play throughout the event. The DSLR that I borrow was a Canon which I don't really know how to handle it quickly. I had to learned everything - aperture, shutter, focus and know all the button in very short time. It's really different from Nikon button. The weather that evening was great. The lighting really helping to capture every moment.

Ni antara hasil shooting aku. Tak hensem mana pon.

 At night, I shot the free fight matches. This time I'm using another camera, also borrowed from another friend. Nikon D90 with 50mm lens. Really enjoyed the night eventhough at almost all time I witnessed the matches from the viewfinder. For every time I press the shutter release, 3 - 4 photos taken. I tried to shoot in different setting, RAW and JPEG. After about two hours in the hall for free fight, I went to the field for my team match - Engenius v Israk. Trying my best to capture the moment, but it's really hard as I can't overcome the darkness of surround using my limited tools. With rain started to fell from sky, it's become harder to operate the camera well. Anyways, my team win it! Hoho ;) I slept around 0400 hours on that night, processing the photos captured.

 Next morning, woke up around 0700 hours and get ready for the quarter-final football matches. I don't know how but I don't feel tired and sleepy that morning despite I just slept for about 3 hours. Maybe the determination and spirit to shoot pictures drive me that way. HAHA. I don't even took a breakfast that morning cause I don't wanna miss anything. HAHA. That morning I managed to shot basketball and the quarter-final football matches. The supporters weren't full as the first game yesterday. Maybe they'll still in their dream. Haha. After that, around 1100, I took my brunch. Just alone. Then went to my room, transfer all the photos and ready for the evening games!

 1430 hours, again, to the field! The sky now a bit dark, with cloud started to block the sunlight. Tetiba otak ni nak pikir in Malay la pulak. So hm, petang tu match semi-finals between Press against Barcom and Engenius against Econss. Matches berjalan lancar sampai la dalam jam 1700, hujan mula turun. Aku pun dari awal petang stay tepi padang now terpaksa bergerak mencari bumbung. Kalau aku je basah takpe, ni kamira lagi penting. So had to find cover! Huhu. But seriously shot masa hujan syok! Gambar dramatik je. Cun! Tapi jauh la sikit dari padang, and it's kinda hard to focus on target. Habis je game, aku pulak kena pergi ambik adik aku yang baru tiba kat Terminal Bas Putra dengan sepupu aku. Dengan hujan lebat gila, aku keluar lah. First time in my entire life in CFSIIUM aku keluar bawak payung! Haha. Dah lebat sangat terpaksa ah. Masa tu perh mata dah tercungap gak ar, letih woi! Kejap berpanas tengah padang, then tetiba sejuk cam haromm. Hahah.

Momen masa hujan. Best!

 Dalam pukul 2000 sampai CFS balik. Settle hal dengan adik and sepupu then turun padang lagi! This time layan match final pulak - Engenius v Barcom! Serious kitorang tak jangka akan jumpa Barcom kat final. Masa before ni, duk plan taktikal macam mana nak main masa final if lawan IDEA or Econss or Medcy. Tapi last-last jumpa Barcom. Bapak power diorang ni! Malam tu pun aku kurang amik gambar, lack of lighting option! Gelap sangat padang. Hm. But congrats to Engenius! Menang 4-1 lawan Barcom! Dapat GOLD! Hoho ;) Habis match bola, sambung pulak match basketball final which also berpihak kepada Engenius! Another gold medal! Bangga dengan bebudak ni even takpaham pun game tu operate camne. Hahaha. Takcukup dengan tu, balik bilik sambung pulak dengan match Arsenal v Wigan for semi-final FA Cup. Gila. Dalam pukul 4 pulak baru tidor.

 Esok paginya, pukul 0600 dah terjaga. Nak kena hantar adik aku pegi program Petronas YoungStars Day kat Taylor's Lakeside Campus, Subang Jaya. For the first time aku guna myTeksi pagi tu. Haha. Sampai Taylor, adik aku pergi register, aku and sepupu pulak having free breakfast! Hoho. Boleh tahan la breakfast dia. Lepas makan kena pergi dengar briefing scholarship Petronas pulak. Masuk lecture theatre dia perghh! Mantop. Canggih woo! Dengan seat macam GSC punya seating, 4 projector and sound system yang awesome! Memang jakun gila. Haha. Sementara tunggu adik aku yang akan habis program jam 6 petang, kitorang balik CFSIIUM dulu, makan-makan. Then rehat jap. Tido!

Ni kat Taylor's.

 Around 1500 hours, kena pergi LRT Gombak pulak sebab nak jual tiket bas yang tersalah beli. Naik lah LRT dekat 40 minit menuju Gombak. Letih minda gak la. Then balik CFS balik. Sebab dah letih and duit dah banyak habis, aku suruh adik aku balik sendiri. Aku call teksi, dia naik je. Haha. Letih doh. Malam tu diorang kena balik Kelantan semula dah sebab esoknya adik aku ada interview dengan JPA pulak kat KB. So, malam pun aku call teksi je sebab takut taksempat aku sendiri nak balik CFS malam tu. Lepas settle semua dengan adik aku, aku siap siap untuk Closing Ceremony SMAC14 pulak. Ikutkan hati malas jugak nak pergi pasal tu program official. Aku kurang sikit program official ni. Leceh! Aha. Tapi last-last enjoy jugak. Congrats geng PRESS sebab menang overall and jugak to my team - ENGENIUS berjaya di tempat kedua. Terbaik ah korang!

 Malam tu balik usha-usha gambar sikit then tido mampos! Letih gila.
 Maka berakhirlah weekend yang hectic mectic aku. And so this post. Aha.
 Walaupun letih sikit, tapi best! Aku taktahu kenapa, tapi bila dapat bersatu dengan kamira ni, pergh!
 Bahagia! Haha. XD
 So, wassalam. :)
