this is how it started
small weekly assignments. we have to draw (in detail) on how the fuels (liver and muscle glycogen, and fat) being used up by our body
then, there was a big assignment, where we had to put all of those small drawings into one big poster.
my first draft
second draft
the grand finale
i feel so attached to it. i worked so hard on it. it worth 15%. makes me proud looking at what i've accomplished :)

Saturday, October 25, 2008as previously posted, BSAWA raya celebration was today. i was the MC for this event, so as Azahar, as the male MC whom also my first cousin's husband (i actually forgot that i have relatives here~)
Azahar and i prepared some games and competitions for our friends to take part and lots of prizes to be won. i was on duty and taking pictures were someone else's job, so i don't have pix for the event. although i have something 'else' to show~
i mentioned that we prepared some competitions and one of them was 'best dressed' competition. and guess who the judges voted to represent the ladies? :D ME, hehe didn't see that coming considering i was on duty
the present contains these..
also, lots of lucky draw presents for everyone. and guess who won one of the 5 grand prizes?
what? terabyte? i don't even know what that means, i don't even know it existed. but hey~ i'am more than happy to take it
i thought i wasn't going to win anything today because it was around 3pm (ceremony ended) and still i didn't get lucky.. hehe boy was i wrong.. hehe 2 prizes~~ alhamdulillah
alhamdulillah... it was a successful event

i was walking down to the computer room to photocopy my notes. i was passing by our small kitchen. the kitchen smells like a Singaporean Chicken Rice restaurant.
Fiona was making porridge 'singaporean style' she said.
she offered me some :) it was DIVINE!!!!

being a person who is so passionate about fitness, i have to say my inpiration doesn't come directly from fitness-related people, shows, etc. it comes from odd sorts, places
i simply get inspired by
1. watching someone singing so effortlessly
2. watching someone playing the piano so beautifully
3. random someone worked so hard on his job
4. by watching ProjectRunway, Apprentice...
why these are my sources of inspiration? all of them share the same concept; "confidence"
they believe in what they do, fight for their dreams.. the outcome = effortless in what they do, very automatic.
whenever they are given a task, they simply 'do' and they perform at their optimal level. so yeah, these inspire me

Tuesday, October 14, 2008fees staying on campus increases 'again' for next semester
first year i came here: $270/week = $1080
second year: $300/week = $1200
third year (next year): $325/week = $1300
my allowance from scholarship (including traveling fees) = $1114.
HOW ON EARTH AM I GOING TO SUPPORT MYSELF????????
how am i going to cover my monthly expense? all the essential stuffs... even just the basic stuffs..
how how how??? i don't have time to work.. actually SCHOLARS are NOT allowed to work... so how... i worry so much... it is beyond my control... i don't want to ask money from my parents.. i don't... i refuse...
i called mom... i worried so much that i cried... i cried like i was on my knees and head down, looked hopeless and defeated... breathless and speechless...
ok, imagine if you are in my position.
asking money from your mother who supports other 11 children... from babies till adulthood...
i am under scholarship, and i am asking for more money? it is like working and asking my mum for more money... that is not right...
i observe my mom supporting all 12 of us, all she care about is our happiness. she neglects her needs and focus on every single one of us. she doesn't care if her clothings are outdated, as long as we look happy and have good education, that is happiness to her.
now, thinking back about ME having money crisis... i just....i couldn't... i don't know what to say.... i don't want to be a burden...
so... i cried...
i cried while i was on the phone with mom...
i didn't say much to her... i just cried...
i couldn't even ask for help, i feel so bad...
i... i... :'(
...didn't expect it to be this difficult
Dariah; 10:03 PM
K-KEEP
I-IT
S-SHORT
S-SIMPLE
i tend to forget the simple things in life that could make me happy. i study sports, types of exercise, ways to exercise, how to train, coach people... so occupied thinking about work and others, i tend to forget to train myself, apply to 'me' 'my body' from what i've learnt at uni.
so, i am going to start training... hopefully i will be in a good condition by tomorrow.

Monday, October 13, 2008*sigh* lastnight i couldn't sleep. tried to sleep at 12am. i kept on waking up. EVERY.30.MINUTES.... till... 9.am.
crazy..
this "haven't sleep since yesterday" is not uncommon anymore :s
go out you suggest? my mind would be worrying about my uni-work.
shooping you say? even my allowance couldn't cover my rent here.
get some sleep during the day? i couldn't even have a goodnight sleep.
go to the spa or have a body massage you recon'? did i mention that i am broke....?
....this is so depressing... i shall stop... i need Arifin...
Dariah; 8:43 PM
went to library to snatch some books.. then i saw this
what what what?? could it be portible toilet? - notime-machine? hahaha maybe!!!
... (radio tone) "feeling stress? want to runaway from the endless assignments? hop on to our very own time-machine available in Biological Library, only in UWA..."
hahaha.. good times~ wish i could play with it with my girls.. or rather, take some pictures "with us in it" ahah!! thats an idea!! kekekeke
hmmmm... hold on~ is it because people make alot of noise in the library, so if you want to have a very quite place to study, absolutely no noise can be heard, GO IN THERE!! HAHAHAHA

do what you love...
find your passion...
search ways to get closer to your passion...
accept challenges along the way...
get support from people who care and love you...
when you finally identify all of that
the job that you do is what you love, is your passion
every time you get things done, you will have a smile on your face
the feeling of self-satisfaction
drive to work, study and face another day
...then, you just found your inner-self..
...be true to yourself...
...no one knows better than you...

Monday, October 06, 2008a glimpse of what's in a perfectionist mind...
what is the used of doing something when it is not fabulous.
i won't start doing things, unless everything is perfect and ready to go.
i am scared of my own capacity. i am not scared of failure.. i am scared of success.
when people know your ability and capacity, YES there is pressure to be fabulous.

why worry too much on something that is beyond your control?...you can't do anything, you can't control it so why bother worrying?
why worry too much on something that you can control?... take full control and be on top of it
..in the end, there is nothing to worry about..

Thursday, October 02, 2008Raya is all about gathering with family, friends, eat good food, catch up with gossips... time to relax.
you can hear laughters echoing around the room. kids running around, touching everything they see.
the most exciting bit is getting duit raya. giving the biggest smile to our moms, dads, relatives and friends as a sign of saying "aku mau duit raya~" hehehe or "duit raya mana?" - klasic tu~~
this time, getting the green envelope didn't come across my mind. all i can think of is being with family and friends, and eat raya food and kueh.

i remembered when i was 13-looking-like-20-plus, i wasn't given any when i was out with my sisters. gosh, i was sad.
now it's time to grow out of that, and think raya is more than just getting "the green envelope"
malu ku pulang tu kali kalau kana bagi duit raya... hehe

Wednesday, October 01, 2008Pagi raya
continued listening to Raya songs since lastnight
i couldn't miss any of my classes. so immediately after my class (noon) i went to Broadway to meet up Rawiyaa and Zhara.
we had kebab (haha what else?) and just chatted about Eid. it was very pleasant.
time of the year, Broadway was packed with muslim people and the kebab place was the favourite pick.
