Jet lag and the walk 15 July - 16 July 2010 Jalan-Jalan cari makan: Chinatown
Because of jet lag, we(my father, mother, sis and dad) didn't go out so much. We are tend to sleep rather than walk.hahaha. The jet lag take us 2 days to recover. The two days, we just go to the Chinatown to buy some groceries, that are just 10 minutes walk from our place. Along the way to the chinatown, there are lots of thing to discover. So, Let's enjoy the picture.
parking for bicycle
The bicycle's parking we can find it everywhere along the street because most of the people here use bicycle.
newspaper box
You also can find this newspaper box everywhere in the town. you can get free daily toronto metro, renter magazines, jobfinder magazines, house, health news and many more. It's very convenience.
the Art Gallery of Ontario(AGO) by Frank Gehry
the Art Gallery of Ontario(AGO) by Frank Gehry
We haven't explore this building yet. Maybe later as we have plenty of time here, even this is the nearest place to go. But as usual, the closer the place is, the later you go, right? lol
college of art and design
This school is situated just behind the AGO. It reminds me of my first year theater cafe project.haha.
Our favorite mart at chinatown, Lucky Moose
The first mart you'll see when you arrive with the cheapest price.
the chinatown
shark for sale
At Chinatown, you can find Asian flavor, spices, everything. It is just that if you buy chilli sauce here, it don't taste the same. Chilli sauce here taste more sour than hot& spicy.
next entry will talk about the harbor front, toronto island and wonderland. For now,back on hiatus.
Pre-Arrival, Arrival and Settling Down 13 July - 14 July 2010 Destination: Kuala Lumpur - Amsterdam - Toronto, Canada Flight: KLM Royal dutch Airlines
We departed from KLIA at 2315, 13 July and arrived at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol at 0535, 14th July, transit about 8 hours. Need to get back on plane at 1355 to Toronto. During transit, we just explore the airport. Later when we return, will explore the city. :D
The ticket
First thing we do when we arrived was find a place to pray. Here, They provide Meditation Center for all religious. At first I thought all airport provide the meditation center. But then I met with a Sudanese who studying in US, he said,"Amsterdam Airport is the best airport in Europe that provide this facilities. not all airport have it." . Now I know, it's not all airport provide it. The meditation is nice and big too, complete with the Qiblat, Quran, Solat timetable, everything.

Qiblat
bible discussion at the back
Next, after we've done subuh prayer, we walked around the airport searched for postcards and food to eat. Lastly we just eat Royal-O-Fish with hot Chocolate at McDonald. The best part is when we ordered plain water, it cost us €2.40. T______T
price of hot plain water
1 ketchup will cost you €0.40
Even the ketchup you need to pay, I think the price rate for McDonald here is a lot cheaper than in Kuala Lumpur. Don't multiplying it, it will double double the price. Just look as a normal rate. 4 Fillet-O-Fish set + 1 Donut + 4 Hot chocolate will cost you like only RM31.65. Don't you think, it's cheap?
After that we walk around the airport. They have schiphol museum, history about KLM airline, how they started. The way they design the airport is like home friendly, you can sleep anywhere you want, they provide a mini library, shower, networking area, smoking room, you name it.
Everywhere you can sleep
baby care center

mini library
Now, it is time to complete our destination: toronto, from amsterdam to Toronto it took 6 hours. This is the plane that we board: Boeing 747-400.
KLM Boeing 747-400, the biggest plane in KLM
We arrived at Toronto Pearson International Airport at 14 July, 1800 Canada time. If Malaysia time 15July, 0600.Nothing much to talk about the airport.
the jejak Kasihan
After settle everything, we went out for dinner with some other Malaysian students here.

Ok, will stop here for now. will continue again, InsyaAllah.
Past few weeks, I've been busy with the induction course, Sambutan Maulidur Rasul at Yayasan Al-Jenderami and the launching of GO GREEN! campaign. Now, I need to focus about what I'm going to achieve in my life. I've been asked about it so many times, and I'm still thinking.
I'm asking myself..
me: Put aside the symbiosis program. What If I didn't get it,the symbiosis? What's your plan?working? further study?
Iman inside: I want to do Master. Most probably research cause I find it less tiring than taking course work. Plus, I can work. Other plan is, I want to travel around the world. That have been my dream ever since child.
me: How about your career?
Iman inside: How I'm going to decide? what am I good at? What I love to do so that I don't get bored while working? hmmm...need to do a paperwork about it. I'm still working on it. O ALLAH the most gracious and the most merciful. Please show me the best way to do it right for my career, my dreams, and the planning of my life.Amiin.
end of monologue.
because of this is a random entry. so here is a random picture too. Yes, This is Madrasah Yayasan Al-Jenderami, where I had been for the last Majlis Sambutan Maulidur Rasul. I feel peace when I'm here. Hope you will too. ~____^
A quote before I end this:
"Champions aren't made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them: a desire, a dream, a vision." -Muhammad Ali-
I would like to share this video about the prophet Muhammad S.A.W in an arabic program which talks about how do muslims respect and love the prophet and what will they do If he P.B.U.H. were Among Us. we just love our prophet and want to meet him in the Hereafter inshaAllah! It's a good reality show- full of messages. Enjoy watching!
I wonder if it can be one of the reality show in Malaysia?
I dedicate this song to my one and only brother, Dayat. translation of the song, taken from jpopasia:

I like this song.the translation as you can see in the video,I translated it like this> Fight for whatever you do. Never give up because Allah is always with you. Think of ALLAH, so you can do it. I know you always do. May Allah bless you always. Take care.
What is KPI stands for?*sorry, I don't know.Do you know?sure you do* It is stands for Key Performance Indicator(KPI).
How you do it? They will differ depending on the organization. A business may have as one of its Key Performance Indicators the percentage of its income that comes from return customers. A Key Performance Indicator for a social service organization might be number of clients assisted during the year. A school may focus its Key Performance Indicators on graduation rates of its students. taken from About.com.
*Okay, Now I know!*
What happen today is something good. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Yes, I love this quote! It have different lots of meaning. Right now I'm kind of in messy mind condition, will get it clear first. Later will write again.Jaa. *Off to typing maniac.hahaha.target>>beat adian!!*
It's been a long time I haven't update my blog here. Since there is a person asking me why I didn't update my blog. So here I will update something that I've fallen hard for the last few weeks. XD
Something that actually I didn't write it in my blog here. It's fandom things, mostly I will write in my LJ here.
But for no reasons, I just feel like to write in here. But not that I will write again after having it write here.hahaha. Sorry I'm too lazy to write all over again. Just I will add more pictures from the Korean Drama, You're Beautiful. LOL.
Note to sis Mala: I know you don't have interest in korean or Japanese drama. But just to give some entertainment for working people.hehe.:P Feel free to read my public post at LJ. Here I added song of the day. Hope you like it. Title of the song I hope by FT.Island.
210909 2nd day of Raya-I cherish every moment I have.
For the first time, Raya without my eldest and youngest sisters. My eldest sister went to her in-law house while the youngest in Canada.
But still for me, it's the best Raya of the year because I don't have to think about my schoolwork anymore. No design. No submission date to rush on. I enjoyed it to the fullest. Plus my job right now is so carefree, nothing to stress on. Yippee!! ^____^V.
Besides, it's been a while that we get to join the family convoy. It was because of the restricted holiday in Singapore. They only have a day off for Raya. If first Raya is on weekdays, we can't get to join in the family convoy cause they will do it during weekends. By the time we are already back in KL. Moreover this past 3 years, there is time when I didn't go back during Raya because of my school projects.*cries*
Now that I've enjoyed it, I'm happy. ^______^
In addition to that, here some video of my beloved cousin, Adam, played the guitar on request from us(the girl cousins). He played 2 malay songs and 1 english song but I didn't know the title.lol.But Enjoy!*I wonder if he joins the Archustic audition.will he pass?XD* ~___^
110909 My first kusessians reunion that I've ever been.
We have Iftar together at chop n steak restaurant at Seri Kembangan(near UPM). My friend made a reserve there. We gathered at UPM mosque.
It was my first time pray and break the fast at UPM mosque. They also provide food but differ from UKM mosque.In UKM, they will serve it in a tray and share it with 3 or 4 people. But in UPM, They will break the fast with light food and water first. Then, after maghrib prayer they will serve the food individually.
We went to the restaurant after maghrib prayer.
people who came: Ufairah, Dahiyah, Ayu, Ermadina, Ijok, Fatimah, Syahirah, Fiza(erma's housemate) and me
actually it was more to dorms reunion>> Siantan 3(Ufai, Dahi, Ayu, Erma, Ijok, syahirah and me), teratai 3(fatimah and dahiyah).
It had been about 7 years I have not met Syahirah, Ijok and Fatimah since I left the school end of my form 2. Their hilarious like always.I'm happy meeting all of them. ^_____^
This sunday, I also have another Iftar with my Kisas classmate.InsyaALLAH. Looking forward to meet them too. ~___^
At last, everything goes as plan. Thank you Allah. You are the greatest of all.
From today onwards. New routine. more hectic. but joyous to come.
O' Allah, the most gracious and the most merciful. Thank you ALLAH for always be by my side Thank you ALLAH for always hear all my problems. Thank you ALLAH for granting my prayer. I will never be alone. Thank you ALLAH.

so whose next from akmalien?
note: will update in detail later with the picture after I came back from the trip.the bus arrive already
people keep asking me what I'm doing right now. So here is my current status:
status: X-site Supervisor @ Part-time staff (x-site is a kiosk in UKM located at PUSANIKA)
future planning: 1) Further study(Master or BSc Arch@part2) next fall 2010 @ 2011. 2) Reseach Assistant (R.A) 3) Work in firm to gain experience before further study. Maybe in September.God's will.
Everything regarding JPA thingy have been settled. Now, waiting for them to called me in any post that I applied. I even applied for PEGAWAI SIASATAN. hahaha.
so thats all for now. till my hand meet the keyboard again. ^_____^
I've been so busy this past few days because I'm ON VACATION.haha
but after the vacation, I need to settle down so many things>> claims, SPA registeration, RA approval, my graduate transcript, my graduate status..*sigh*
Everything cannot be settle until my result for topical study is out. right now my registration status: LEWAT MENDAFTAR. That means I cannot graduate yet.
So need to wait until 15th of July. till then, I need to wait and see.
Alhamdulillah. I just came back from my grandparents house in Singapore. It's a good family gathering on Sunday. All my uncle and aunts gathered at my grandparents house. i've got motivated a lot for what I should do next cause I'll be graduating soon.
For now, I think I am clear with what i'm going to do next. Alhamdulillah, Allah had shown me the way. I"m not confused anymore.
Last friday, after school I went to UKM to get an office stamp for my thesis claim application. Suddenly, I saw my structure lecturer in the studio. He asked me what am I going to do after this? I simply said that I want to be RA(Research Assistant) but I don't know who yet. He offered me, if I want to be his RA. haha. I never thought of being RA to him.
For a few seconds, I thought that it is bad if it's about calculating the structure system. I am no good in that field. But then, he just asking me if I can do programming using Visual C. He caught my interest in no seconds. I love doing programming so much that I can't bear to not accepting the offer. Haha. He ask me when I can start. I just say, I can do it immediately. But he says I will need to wait until I get my transcript first or not I need to use my SPM results that means less paid. The office said that I can get the transcript by this week.
So I think it's a good opportunity that ALLAH gives me. After all, I remembered I prayed I want to work as a programmer someday. And this is it. Allah have granted my wish. Even it is not started yet. I'm getting so work up for it. It is not my real job, of course. It's just for me to have a peace of mind from design for a while. I will start my real work later after graduation. I probably hope that I can continue my master or part2 next year, InsyaALLAH.
today is the due date for UKM-symbiosis application. needs to write a 300 words of essays, 3-min video and fill in the application form. the vid is done. The essays needs to write another 100 words.
being a teacher? or give a full commitment in my biz and preparing for next year workshop?
New semester going to start soon. and of course I'll be in UKM for a while. There still a lot of things that have not been settled yet. But I don't know, I'm in a mess right now. I can't give full commitment in both carrier. I need to decide only one. T____T
Lately, I've done a lot of thinking. but I can't make any decision. T_____T
O Allah the greatest of all. Please guide me in making a good decision. Amiin.
