Little one for small room :)

I'm living off-campus. Twenty Two Palm Ave, that's the name of this house. Situated in the middle of Massey Uni and town. Very reachable, very near to Moshims (Halal grocery shop) and Pak n Save. And the most, most important is the rent is veryyy cheap. 110$ p/w included internet and electricity bills! Woweeee! I've got a small room, however, I managed to love living in here. Well, since I'm really enjoying my tiny little room of this house; let me show you guys some pics about it :)

The best part in my room, Shin Chan, Conan are in that rack :D

Part where I put my eyes before sleep and all day.

Yeay! I've got a sink in it. Make me easier to take wudhu'!

2nd Best part, always sit here when I don't know what to do. New monitor, cordless keyboard and mouse.

The scenery from my room's view. Nice, ey?

I hope, I can get closer to my housemates. Some of them are working and I'm the youngest among them all. Really hope we can understand and be tolerate to each other. And like the supervisor says: treat everyone like your family. Yes! I'm trying to be friendly and improve my English at the same time! :)

New life has come :)

Fuhh. It has been a long week since I came back from Malaysia.

From Malaysia to Auckland wasn't very nice. Ain and Hafezz were complaining about the foods in the flight. They think the foods when we went back to Malaysia were much better. Hmm.. I have a long story to be told about the journey back to Palmy but really, here's not the place. Maybe I'm not in a mood to post a long entry.

Here in a new house with 6 other new housemates and friends. Taiwanese, Chinese (from China), Malawian, Korean and Hafza, Pakistanian and also my previous housemate, which make me feel much more better. I was a bit bored before since they were very new to me and I didn't have anyone to talk to. Many challenges living here since they have different religion, customs and culture but insyaALlah like what my dad said to me last night, I have to be confident that Allah will always help me and be with me. And, to mix around is one of the reasons why Mara spends a lot sending me here, right? So, I took the challenge and pray that Allah guides me to be on a right path.

Since my rent is much cheaper, I hope I can continuously save money then I can travel to Melbourne and Fiji. Ameen :)

Busy, busy, and get busy!

It's 1.46 a.m already and I can't believe that I am sitting in front of my laptop typing this. Just came back from usrah program that was really fun! I usually sleep around 8 p.m due to the practical work that is surely very tiring.

Time running too fast till I left behind and couldn't catch it up. Lots of thing happened during my summer holidays. Half of it I spend for my work - wake up early, catch 2 trains and one bus ( if mom can't fetch me) and it costs me 6.40RM per day. Can you imagine how much it is! In my place in NZ, we just have to touch our student card and can get into buses for free! Haish.. So, I have to make a baby face, asked touch 'n go top up from dad. Fortunately, I got a food swipe card contained 100RM per month which I don't have to pay for my breakfast and lunch except on Friday.

Here comes a story of a very 'hardworking' and 'mature' worker.. In office, after finished my data entry work (or.. if I feel very sleepy), I'll sleep under the table covering my little body with kain batik, lucky me my table is at the corner so (I think) my boss can't see what I am doing. Wahaha.

Start working in office for the first time is really a challenge for me but I know one day I have to face all these again and again. So, it's good for me to practice it from now, ey? Like what people always say : Practice makes perfect. (And somehow, the naughty youngster will reply: Nobody's perfect, then why we have to practice? Question mark! ;)

To relieve my tense and stress, I have planned my weekends with wonderful activities (and cheap! Correct your niat Fairuz! Okay.. okay.. :)

23-24: Jalinan Ukhwah Musim Panas.

30-31: FlyHigh OZ/NZ.

Hopefully, I can update stories with my beloved sahabat in these programs, insyaAllah!

Sad to say, I'm still searching for some dates to sleep at Umi's, meet my friends in UITM Shah Alam and visit my teachers in SAB. Looked like I don't have a suitable ones before I'm going back on 10th Feb!

But, but, but (Na'udhubillah.. May Allah make this easier for me) if I can't meet you guys, InsyaAllah, quoting someone : Jauh di mata, dekat di hati kan? :)

By the way, while waiting for the trains and standing in it before I reach my destination, I try to be a bookworm like I used to be. Proud to say (haha), I'm currently reading: Life is an open secret you, me and we by Sis Zabrina. Really enjoy it. Must read ey! 24.50RM only :D

Hah?

Bangun pagi, gosok gigi. Tapi kali ni bukan macam tu. Kali ni aku bangun, aku capai fon yang tak henti-henti berdering. Satu mesej masuk. Berbunyi:

"Salam, Fai. Wei, dah bertunang ke? Senyap-senyap je kan. Poyo haritu cakap takde calon. Neway, congrats ya! ;)"

Apakah?

Buat yang kurindu.

Yang kurindu,
Akhlak mereka aku cemburui.
Kata-kata mereka menenangkan.
Sungguh rindu ini aman dan nyaman.
Oh, aku rindu. Kamu juga kah?

Mari berjumpa lagi tidak di sini,
di sana, insyaAllah.

Selamat berjuang sahabat-sahabatku.

Ramadhan, basikal 2nd hand dan raya.

Hari kelima Ramadhan aku sambut dengan membeli sebuah basikal berkuasa rendah 10 gear nzd50 di Green Bike kat dalam uni. Bersama-sama Kak Husna yang membakar-bakar semangatnya walaupun mula-mula aku kata "saya teman akak je tau" tapi serius itu cinta pandang pertama. Aku ambik, test jalan-jalan kejap dan bayar. Beli kunci terus takut hilang kena curi. Lepas tu tumpang Kak Zu pergi town beli helmet. Petang tu jugak terus memecut ke surau dan Kairanga, even dekat pun nak jugak naik basikal. Demi Allah, seronok jiddan! Sekarang, senang je nak kemana-mana, ada basikal. Haritu kena marah dengan cleaner sebab pergi College St naik basikal, hari pulak windy. Sampai-sampai je rumah Kak Nina kat College St. habis berpeluh sebab penat melawan rintangan angin yang sangat padu. Maklumlah, NZ kan..


Disebabkan aku tak join official salam perantauan dari kawan-kawan kat sini, jadi:

Selamat menyambut hari kemenangan untuk umat Islam semua. Kepada mak, ayah, umi, mama, kakak-kakak dan adek-adek, kena happy je tau and senyumm selalu okay :)
Cikgu-cikgu dan kawan-kawan yang berada di serata dunia, Selamat Hari Raya. May Allah bless us all, ameen :)

Lagi satu, selamat berspring yang di OZ & NZ! Yang kat Welly apa kata korang turun Palmy untuk Sakura Festival? ;)

Kanak-kanak & kegemaran mereka.

Duduk di Palmy yang penuh dengan seniors postgrad lebih dari undergrad menyebabkan aku dikelilingi oleh anak-anak kecil. Ahad pula menjadi cikgu Iqra' membolehkan aku bergaul dengan kanak-kanak international yang lagi keletah dan open.

'Sister, look!'

Dhoha buat mata juling.

'Kak Faiyuz, look at me!'

Farah menari-nari atas sejadah. Penat marah dan ugut cakap bontot bisul kalau suka main atas sejadah. Tapi dia degil jugak. Ces. Tak makan saman.

'Look!'

Najmi pelat-pelat panggil aku. Selepas dipandang, dia menari ballet sambil menyebut nama Dora dan Diego. Aku pon tunjukkan kehebatan aku menari ballet 3pusingan dengan berdiri guna ibu jari. Hehe.

Afrina pulak ajak tengok Youtube Hannah Montana Sitcom. Baru aku tau Hannah Montana dan Miley Cyrus orang yang sama. Haha. Tertipu jugak aku dengan lakonan dia.

Ashraf dan Afiq ajak main wrestling. Ni yang paling best tapi berisiko tinggi. Selamba je dieorang tumbuk, pijak-pijak belakang aku, aku yang kuat tanpa mengalah pon belasah dieorang balik cukup-cukup walaupon aku tau aku pasti akan kalah.

Tapi tadi iftar di Masjid Massey, masa tunggu nasi dihidangkan, aku tadarrus sekejap. Tiba-tiba, ada seseorang kuis bahu aku. Aku pandang. Seorang budak bertelekung memegang Quran. Aku yakin dia seorang Pakistani.

'You want to read Quran in front of me?'

Dia mengangguk.

' What page you want to read?'

'I think this page,' sambil tunjuk Surah Tin.

'Where do you learn reading Quran?'

'I always go to Sister Sal's house at 330 after school.'

Dia pon membaca Surah Tin depan aku dengan lancar. Salah dua tempat je. Aku kagum. Lupa nak tanya nama dia, tiba-tiba nasi briyani Pakistani dah sampai. Makan time!

Di Malaysia, media sibuk buat rancangan itu, rancangan ini untuk jadikan budak-budak artis dan penyanyi. Harap-harapnya satu masa nanti akan lahir budak-budak yang hobinya: Saya suka baca Quran. Ameen :)

Tadi ada seorang brother bagi aku notes ni. Aku yang mintak supaya dapat distributekan to kawan-kawan kat sini. Siapa-siapa yang berminat, ambiklah okay. BTW, jzkk Afnan.

Selamat membaca Quran dengan tajwid yang betul kawan-kawan :)
