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.

 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. :)

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

 Hi guys! How was your week? This time I wanna shared with you guys my holidays on the Chinese New Year break last two weeks. Even though the vacation was just for two days, but it's great! :D

 Dah dah tulis BM balik. Pening nak susun ayat in English! Haha. So CNY last year, aku kat Melaka dengan family. And kali ni kitorang kat Kuala Lumpur pulak! Even with more relatives! Plan asal nak ber'Family Day' kat Perak or Kedah or Perlis masa CNY haritu. Tapi sedara-sedara lain ada hal masing-masing so cancel. Then datang pulak idea nak jejalan kat Bukit Tinggi, Pahang. Sampai la dua hari before cuti tu, then the plan also got cancelled. Haha. So last minutes vacation pun terjadi, tup tup call kata nak pegi KL! Siap dua kereta pulak tu datang - family aku and family sedara with mek sekali. :) Oleh sebab cuti kejap je, so kejap je lah dapat enjoy. Tiga hari dua malam je. Sempat la cover jalan-jalan around Putrajaya and Kuala Lumpur. Tu pun melalut cari jalan. Haha. You know, sometime the GPS kinda lost. Terpaksa lah guna instinct! Haha XD

So, let's start our journey with photos!

Dengan Damia kat Masjid Putra, Putrajaya.

Beramai-ramai depan mansion uncle Prime Minister kita. Huhu. Panas oi!

Sepetang di Taman Tasik Titiwangsa. Berlari tak cukup tanah bebudaks ni.

Well posed everyone! Hoho. :D

Berkejaran dengan Mia and Nayli. Letih gila melayan mek kecik ni!

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

 Hai makhluk-makhluk rajin membaca sekalian. Camne weekend anda anda semua? Best? Weekend aku kali ni takde apa yang best. Poket kempis, so berkabung dalam kampus je la. Hoho ~

 Hari ni dah dua minggu kelas mula. Even though schedule aku takde lah pack sangat, tapi letih tu still ada. Lagi lagi kalau kelas masa siang hari. Pergh! Menjadi-jadi mengantuknya. And sometime kelas awal pagi pun down jugak. Haish. Bagi aku fokus masa kelas sangat penting. Ye lah kalau tak fokus memang tak paham la kan subjek yang kita belajar tuh. Lagi-lagi kalau benda yang kita belajar tu adalah something new to our life. Besides, sometime bila dah 100% fokus dalam kelas ni, lekat lama sikit dalam kepala. So lepas kelas boleh enjoy! Hehe. But apa yang students tak tahu adalah - bila kita bagi tumpuan dalam kelas or masa lecture, ia membuktikan bahawa kita ni seorang yang berdedikasi. Fokus kita juga menunjukkan kita ni seorang yang matang dan has a solid level of self control. So tadi ada la aku spend time sikit buat research on how to keep our attention in class. Ada la dua tiga website yang bagi points that I found interesting.

 First of all is - Get enough sleep! Kita manusia. Bukannya robot yang dapat buat itu ini secara berterusan. Even robot pun perlu recharge battery, so were manusia. Cuma kita takperlu battery, tapi rehat. As a student, kalau boleh dapatkan tidur malam seeloknya 8 jam setiap malam. Nak tidur awal memang susah. Lagi-lagi kalau kaki blog or kaki twitter. Pukul 2 pagi pun muncul lagi kat timeline. HAHA. So, what to do? Try setiap malam awalkan tidur. Kalau biasa lelap pukul 2 pagi, try to sleep pukul 12 pulak. Put aside all your device, nanti menggangu pulak. And before sleep, teguhkan niat untuk bangun seawal mungkin and bayangkan apa nak buat pagi tu. InsyaAllah terjaga right on time! Kalau bangun before Subuh lagi bagus. :)

 2nd - Breakfast. Ingat! Breakfast korang tak perlu berat-berat pun sebenarnya. In fact, kalau makan berat terus nanti lagi mengantuk pulak dalam kelas. Paling baik, ambil roti dua keping + milo segelas. Kalau staying kat asrama or mahallah or hostel, bangun la awal-awal pagi okay. So sempat la nak breakfast before kelas mula. Takde la rushing ke sana sini. Well actually yang ni aku sendiri pun jarang buat sebenarnya. --'. Tapi takpe sama-sama kita jayakan lepas ni. Hoho ;D

Dapat Honey Stars lagi best! Fav aku ni :))

 3rd - Read before the class.  This one aku agak bersetuju. Sebelum kaki masuk ke kelas, at least tahu tajuk apa yang kita akan belajar hari tu. Lagi baik kalau baca sekali lalu chapter tu. So that bila dalam kelas kita akan nak tahu lebih banyak pasal benda yang kita dah baca sikit tu. Lagi satu kita akan dapat ready soalan lebih awal untuk tanya lecturer bila ada sesuatu yang kita takpaham. Takde lah kita melopong je dalam kelas sambil otak pikir - "Mende apa la ni... haih". Haha. Sometime bila kita dah baca dapat gak kita jawab soalan yang lecturer tanya. Lagi-lagi kalau ada someone dalam kelas tu yang kita nak impress. Haha. Memang nampak sedikit show off, tapi kita akan lebih tertarik untuk belajar benda tu. Eventually it will benefits us. :D

 4th - Rid yourself of any distractions! Phone calls, sms, twitter. Semua benda tu letak tepi dulu. Kelas paling lama pun 3 jam je aku rasa. So takdenya mati takde semua tu dalam 3 jam. Ada member kata phone lagi bagus kalau takbawak and tinggal kat bilik je, tapi bagi aku lagi baik ada phone all the time. Well, malang tak berbau right? So just silence kan phone masa kelas. Kalau boleh jangan duduk dalam kelompok member yang terlalu ramai. Nanti sibuk berbual pulak masa lecturer mengajar. Ada la benda member nak bagitau. Kalau boleh duduk dengan sorang member dekat cukup. At least kita ada someone untuk bertanya if takpaham and someone untuk keep us focus throughout class session. Sometimes even benda kecil gila pun kita dah terganggu fokus. Otak dah alert sangat nak buat camne kan? Tapi alert bagus, makes us selalu berhati-hati.

Tengok tu. sms. calls. twitter. semua ada. hang camna? ;)

 5th - Take note! Rajin-rajin kan lah diri korang untuk buat nota. Nota taklah bermaksud salin semua apa yang lecturer tulis kat depan. Tapi apa-apa yang korang rasa penting even benda tu taktertulis kat depan pun. Macam aku, aku rajin menulis. So semua keyword yang lecturer sebut aku salin. Bukan salin semua okay. Keyword je. Lagi satu salin nota ni dapat elakkan aku daripada ngantok. Sometimes lukis pon boleh. As long as korang paham apa yang korang buat. :)

 6th - Participate! Whatever event dalam kelas, join! When lecturer ask question, jawab! Takfaham, tanya! Aktifkan dirimu. Aha. So bila ada apa-apa dalam kelas don't be too malu or malas untuk participate. Jadi student yang aktif and bukannya pasif. Bila kita bertanya benda tu akan lebih kekal lama dalam minda kita. Benda-benda macam ni actually akan melatih soft skill kita which is important bila dah kerja nanti. Bila dah kerja nanti communications are very essential.

 7th - Kalau rasa mengantuk, minum air or pergi tandas and basuh muka dengan air sejuk. Jangan biar rasa mengantuk meluaskan kuasanya. Haha. Tapi jangan pulak keluar ke tandas, setengah jam kemudian baru masuk balik. Itu nikhirim namanya! Hahaha

So tu je la dulu buat masa ni. Nanti kalau ada tips untuk benda lain aku share lagi. Ni pun dah kelaut sebenarnya focus aku masa tulis benda ni. Panjang sangat plus dah mengantuk ni. Huhu. So, enjoy your class and selamat malam! Assalamualaikum...

Let's enjoy our weekend! Lek ah, harini hari Ahad kott. HAHA
