I love hanging out
especially with my friends
So, I decided to hang out with my former school mates in high school.
I went out with Azrul and Liyana
We decided to hang out before we enter college and universities :)
They are my best friends though we were in separate class.
They are science stream students meanwhile I am an account students.
We hang out in Pizza Hut and spend hours chatting there =]
It was fun
Then, I send them back home by my car :)
-Here are some of our photos :

Aminnnnnn :D

My first impression of national service (ns)- very tough, hard, rough or etc. But, after I went to the ns , everything has changed :)
I was chosen to enter ns in 2009. Starting from March till June as scheduled.
So, I got to know that I would enter ns in December before I sat for my final exam, SPM.
After that, in March, I went to ns reluctantly = (
I started my journey to my ns camp named Kem Titian Bitangor. Situated in Rembau district,
which was 20 minutes away from my house. My family sent me to that camp.
My first impression about the camp- horrid. The buildings there were out-dated and the camp was situated in the middle of the jungle. It took nearly 20 minutes to reach the camp from the main road.
At 9 am, I arrived at that camp. I went straight to the food hall. The food hall was quite big. And the main thing that made me felt quite shocked that they had the sportchecks to all the trainees.
I felt quite shocked at first and kept on grumbling deep in my heart :(
Then, I was put in a dorm named AW 15. AW stands for Asrama Wanita which means girls hostel. After saying goodbye to my family members, I went straight to my dorm.
Since I didnt know anyone I felt quite uncomfortable and lost, honestly .
Then, in the evening, there were a bit of changes. I was changed to Dorm AW 9 which was absolutely very2 near to the food hall. Thanks God :D
I started to bring along my luggages and stuff and went straight ahead to the new dorm.
When, I went to the dorm, OMG, I felt so out of place
I had no friend meanwhile others already had their own friends.
So, I went alone by myself to the food hall and had dinner. I ate at the front table according to our companies. Btw, in ns- we were divided into 4 companies - Alpha, Bravo, Charlie and Delta. Mine was Alpha :)
Meanwhile, when I had dinner- I met a girl. A special girl. Her name was Shuhada and we chatted quite a lot and I felt the chemistry when I talked to her..Soon, we became best friendsOkay, since I had found my own " partner ", I felt a little bit happier.
Besides that I had found some closest friends there. Friends whom I ate together, went praying together with and friends whom could share jokes and laughter together.
They were Iqa, Fiqa, Mira and including Shuhada.
All of them came from different backgrounds and different places from all over the country.
Interesting ;)
The NS had 4 main modules.

1. Character Building Class ( which we called CB but I did called 'em Class Bodo, hik3)
=The CB modules took 2 weeks to finish. All of us- the wira and wirawati were divided into 7 classes. The classes were quite far from our food hall so we would be marching to go to our class. I was placed in CB 1. Where none of one of my closest friends was in it. The CB module was quite interesting. It was a kind of module on how do we interact with others and how to get to know ourselves better. We were divided into groups in CB 1 and I was in Taming Sari and Mutiara group. In CB, I got to know a lot of friends including Chinese and Indians. I found them really interesting since I never had the chance to be close to any of these two races before. i ve to admit it :P
We had two teachers- eh, no 3, actually. Teacher Mahir (I've to admit that I dont like her, honestly :P), Teacher Sally ( hmmm, I dont mind learning from her ) and Teacher Zul ( he always replaced Mahir and I did enjoy learning with him, he's nice and flexible)
But, after all CB class was okay :D
Then, we had integration class. The class was awesome :D. Our teacher was Teacher Muna, a young and well- educated person. I enjoyed the module sooo much since we learnt about other cultures. I was in the group named LAUK n I really enjoyed every moment of it :D
