MALAYSIA WON RUNNER UP
Hello. Assalaamualaikum
Fad is in washington d.c. and the rate for going online is 7 bucks per hour, so she can't afford to write posts for her blog. So, here I am just writing in on her behalf, to satisfy her readers.
Well... we got to the finals and we won runner up. UIA went against QUT, a university notorious in environmental law moots. It is no wonder that they get to the finals because they have always been either winning the environmental moots or runner up.
It's a wonder that UIA could do it, though. What with all the stupid things we always were up to during all our little night meetings in the terpencil kinda office we fondly call as moot room and all the eccentricities. Well, I must say though, we had a hell of a tip top teamwork that got us through the National, a hell of a fun time in Singapore to learn end experience new things, and hell of a cold (weather) time in Washington (or so I suppose).
It just shows the Greatness of Allah to hear news like this. Who would have thought, some 4 foot 8 girl (well maybe she's 4 foot 11 when she mooted) could win the best orallist? English is not even our mother tongue, and there we were going against Aussies... Allahu akbar.
This reminds me of a verse in the Qur'an:
Isn't Allah Great? Indeed He is.
Well, I haven't got the full scope, so you guys wait for fad to write in here. Besides, I don't really know the taste of her readers so let her do the satisfying part. I am just in here to tell you guys the good news and to remind all of you to thank Allah in your prayers after this. Thanks for hearing me out here.
til then... wslm,

faith and belief...
hmm...this week has been a hectic week for me..3 tests in a row..but..no difference..test is sumthin that we have to get used to..a normal thing or some sort of established custom for a student..hmm..this next week is already the revision week before final exam...instead of preparing for final exam..me and the other jessupers got to prepare for washington..
sumtimes things seem to be stagnant for me..i guess that is what we call life..i really thank God coz i got friends and someone who'd be there for me..=)..time is passing by so fast..i could still remember me walking down the kulliyyah during the revision week..and now..we nearly finish this semester..hmm..it's kinda terrifying to think about how fast time passes by..but the bottom line is..we have to cherish every moment that we have before it's gone..
there was this one day i was talking to mar bout something and i said to her that to lose something that we love so much is unbearable..she said to me..it's worth to take the risk in life coz to love is the best feeling and the best gift that God has ever created to us...what she said really touches me..it's just that we need to believe and have faith on something that we believe...

* (,")*
hmm..last monday me and asma went to kl to settle our visa...there was this poetry pasted on the STAR window...kinda sweet...
O my Luve's like a red, red rose,
That's newly sprung in June:
O my Luve's like the melodie
That's sweetly played in tune!As fair art thou,
my bonnie lass, So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry.
Till 'a the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun;
I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o' life shall run.
And fare thee weel, my only Luve,
and fare thee weel a while!And I will come again, my Luve,
Though it were ten thousand mile.

love and pain....
Fragile Heart [jewel]
If u want my heartU have 2 promise not 2 tear it apart
Cause my heartHas been hurt a lot
And it always seemsLove is not sweet,
like in dreams
Something falls through
But I don't want that 2 happen 2 me and u
So be Careful,
warningFragile heart
Last SaturdayWe ate dinner at your parents' placeLast Saturday,
u saidHow u feel will not go away,Well,
all the fishes in the sea Could not be happier than me
Only fools believe thatNothing changes,
nothing leaves
But I need 2 believe that we at leastWill have some dignity
'Cause everything changes
Nothing stays the same
But that's no excuse 2 be casualOr 2 place the blameU have 2 be careful with me..
i got this song from a friend...hmmm...it seems like everyday we're dealing with the same issue when emotions come into play..ahaks..a fact of life that no one could escape..last friday a good friend of mine broke an unexpected news...he said that everything has come to an end..i was so shocked..i thought he was joking...he said to me.."maybe he was looking for someone he liked and not someone that he needed"...what he said makes me think...its true...we can like anyone around us..people we know...but that doesnt mean we really need them..but we can like someone and we really need that person in our life...then only we know how much the person means to us...
to love and to cherish someone you love are wonderful...but the deeper the feeling gets, to me,the more the thought that you're gonna lose that person lingers in your mind...the fact that no one on earth could take..to lose someone u really need..i guess no wonder why there are people who choose to live this life alone...they just cant bear the thought of losing someone they need..coz it really hurts..as sometimes u can hear thier hearts are exactly breaking...but in life,u can never run away from reality...coz there's only one thing which is certain..it is uncertainty...may our faith and beliefs guide us along the way....

ahkhirnya....
Alhamdulillah..itu jer yang mampu aku lafazkan…dah 3 bulan berhempas pulas wat draft memorial for Jessup..akhirnya siap gak..Allah je tahu camna rasanya..lega sangat..otak dah rasa ringan sangat.. tepat kul 5 fad asma mel and mdm maizatun sampai kat arbitration centre nak hantar memorial kat national administrator…and malamnya lak terus e-mail memorial ke Washington…lega sangat…
Dari hari jumaat kitorang semua bertapa kat moot room...makan,tido,solat,semua kat moot room..kiranya dah 4 hari tak balik bilik…muka sesorang dah macam zombie..tapi still maintain..ahaks..dengan kaftan+jacket,mandi ala2 kambing gurun..semua cukup….it all didn’t matter..asal siap..kire dharurat nih..eheh…tiap2 hari tido kul 4 pagi..tapi hari ahad tu 24 jam tak tido. Wahla!.mmg rekod lah…
Macam2 kenangan sepanjang tempoh darurat ni..terlalu lalu lah banyak..aku bersyukur sangat dapat lalui semua ni dalam hidup…aku bersyukur sebab Jessup ni dah mengajar aku banyak erti kehidupan..erti menghargai kehidupan…(isy..emo laks..)
Sepanjang tempoh tu semua orang cam dah tak btol..bukan stressed out tapi cam kena acute syndrome of radioactive radiation..ehehe..macam2 telatah bebudak ni..meh tengok balik sesorang:
Melati-merangkap captain for the jessupers yang merupakan crewmembers dalam moot room tu..mel ni suka gelak bila ada ja makhluk allah yang wat lawak..tgk dia gelak pon orang lagi nak tergelak…mel jugak sangat taksub dgn coke..hari2 minum coke…kirenya company coke leh go into liquidation kalau mel tak bli coke..eheh..aritu boon ka tanya “u minum coke hari2 ek..mel tanya why..boon ka kata still living hah”..dgn nada mmg innocent..kitorang pon gelak..nasib baik tak kna sumbat tin coke tu..ayah mel gak best..sbb slalu hantarkan makanan kat kitorang yang slalu kebuluran tahap langit ketujuh..tomyam perisa tomatonish and nasik briyani..nyum nyum..masa bulan puasa haritu mak mel masak kat kitorang..terkejut mak dia habis suma lauk..terharu….
Aliza-mmg terkenal dgn remarks cam”cipan berbulu, kambing..beruang”…so kalo dia tgh bercakap mmg perkataan tulah penambah seri ayat2 dia…dia jugak suka menggunakan tone suara gaya2 jac..(ye ker)..aha…bila dia tak keruan dia akan mintak stapler…ntah ada apalah ngan stapler tu..semangat kot....dia akan pusing satu moot room tu cari stapler..pelik tol..tapi lawakla..last2 semua orang punya stapler ada kat dia…
Asma-mmg dikenali sbg miss grammar…jugak seorang poet yang berhemah..contoh ayat yang leh jadi masterpiece kitorang –“previously,frequently,safely”…ada cam “truly,madly deeply” lak bila dengat…asma ni best dibuli..sbb dia akan redha jer…slalu nyanyi pegang botol air-lagu cher..”do you believe”..bergegar satu moot room tu..asma gak seorang yang caring..slalu amek order makanan kitorang..rasa sangat disayangi…
Michelle-miss paparazzi-slalu amek gambar kitorang yang berbaju tido,kaftan n jacket..tak mandi…tapi mahal woo gamba2 tu..when it comes to computer..nama mich akan dipanggil…mmg bestla..bila nak download lagu ke per..mich la tmpt kitorang bergantung harap…sangat lah innocent mich ni..so fad tak sampai hati sangat nak buli..kasik can la dia tgk orang lain dibuli…mich jugak tlh mennggayakan tudung dari kain batik…tak pernah lagi seumur hidup tgk gaya tu..mmg kreatif…
Boon ka-di awal perkenalan sangatlah bersopan santun…so tak berapa sesuai nak dijadikan mangsa buli…tapi dipertengahan berkecimpung dalam Jessup dia tlh menunjukkan aksi2 menarik..boon ka sangat gemar menggunakan vocab yang gempak2..contoh-“howbeit,intertwine” and the latest is “tomyam ni sedaplah..rasa tomatonish”..sampai ke saat ni kitorang panggil dia mr. tomatonish.sian boon ka sebab slalu kna panggil sempena nama2 tu…boon ka gak di saat getir nak hantar draft tlh menunjukkan bakat menari ala2 gangster hong kong bila lagu cina kuar..mmg sangat klakar..dia gak ada moto yang best”no food no work”.
Fadiah- apa ek..ni based on observation and comments from all the jessupers-fad the aggravator and budak suka buli orang..sbb slalu aggravate lawak2 yang dah jadi sampai membuatkan semua orang ingat lawak tu sampai berkurun lamanya..so mangsa yang membuatkan lawak tu terjadi akan terus terusan malu sbb digelakkan…sian ek..but fun though…so semua orang akan berhati2 mengatur kata sbb tak nak jadi mangsa lawak sendiri…3 hari lepas diorang semua kata fad cam “mabuk” sebab cakap ntah apa2,serius tak sedar langsung..leh plead insanity kalo apa2 jadi ni… fad jugak pantang tgk semut2 api kat moot room tu..semua fad bunuh..mmg benar semut2 tu tak pernah kacau orang lain..tapi dia slalu gigit fad..fad sorang lak tu kena..so sebagai self-defence terpaksa lah commit genocide kat semut2 tu…
Tulah kitorang….perjuangan masih perlu diteruskan…semoga ALLAH Bantu kitorang..ameen…
