Passions within

Tuesday, December 6, 2011

Its been so long since the last time I blog. Time goes by so fast and now it's few weeks left before the end of 2011 :) .Two more weeks before my " two weeks" trip to Malaysia and I am excited as always ;)

I used to be actively involved with ECA activities at Uni such as volunteering ,attending seminars, forums or conferences, involving myself with various programs and campaigns such as environmental campaigns .I feel bad for being M.I.A for the time being partly because I am too focus and concentrate on managing my small facebook online shop and it is my first priority. But managing online shop itself is a commitment and fun activity as well. It sounds small but it teaches you with very useful lessons such as patience, dedications, public relations,financial management and so on.

Lucky for me, I have my helpful younger brother who help

me to run the home-based online shop. I am glad to have support from my family and friends, not forgetting my lovely loyal customers who always give continuous support :') Alhamdulilah, Life is so wonderful.

P/s: The model is NOT me

one of the shawls from Cahaya Butik ;)

Wow! It's been a month since the last time I updated my blog. I am too much occupied with lots of chores and stuff to do. Especially with the beginning of the new semester and with the business online and recently I re-launched the website at www.cahayabutik.com. Customers can now use the website as a tool to make orders apart from relying on facebook. 28th August 2011 was Cahaya Butik's first anniversary and I was glad that everything run smoothly. Alhamdulilah, I had some plans and projects in mind regarding the online business. Thanks for the support especially to my family and my supporting friends ;)

Btw, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfiltri. Maaf Zahir dan Batin ;)

Internship to remember

Friday, July 29, 2011

The director of Right Livelihood College, Dato Dr. Anwar Fazal(right)

I might not mention about my internship in Penang in my previous post. In fact, I am in Penang now. I was in Brunei for one month after I completed the exchange programme in Universiti Sains Malaysia last semester in May but I went back to Penang in June for an internship programme. I completed by internship few days ago and now only couple of days left before I am going back to Brunei Darussalam. This year, I spend most of my months in Penang, I might want to go back in December. I was suppose to go to Ho Chih Minh, Vietnam yesterday 28th July 2011 but I decided not to go due to some unavoidable plans.

I had a great opportunity to be able to do my internship at the two recipients of the Alternative Nobel Prize known as Right Livelihood Award ; the Right Livelihood College, Dato Dr Anwar Fazal (my boss) and the Friends of Earth Malaysia (Sahabat Alam Malaysia). There are so many thing that I learned, so many useful exposures that I gained such as the chance to attend Seminar on refugees; in conjunction with the refugees day in June, attending the Asia-Europe Program on Cultural Heritage, attending the dialogue between the department of wildlife and non-governmental organizations on the issues about Tiger Valley, giving a presentation about Sahabat Alam Malaysia to visitors from Iran, attending 6th Thinklab Conference & others. Highlights of the internship; great inspirational boss, great colleagues, nice working environment, great exposures on many different things, learning new things.

Something to wonder

Monday, May 30, 2011

It's amazing to read from the newspaper how people from Islamic countries give a helping hand to help our brothers and sisters in Palestine. Despite the danger that are threating their safety, they are still keen to pursue their humanitarian mission. They faced endless obstacles from Israel armies almost every time when they want to entered Palestin to help the Palestinians.

The good example that can be seen recently, when Malaysian ship carrying aid for Palestine, the The Spirit of Rachel Corrie Mission was attacked by the Israeli naval forces in the Palestinian security zone .

It's so sad to read from newspaper and to listen to the news how the Palestinians are being treated. The kids must have been living in a misery , a world where bombs are common, where their playground is based on a real military scene.

Does the world needs to be violent? What is so cool about killing people?

Aquaria @ KLCC, Malaysia

Monday, May 9, 2011

We had booked earlier flight from Penang to Kuala Lumpur and arrived in Kuala Lumpur around 8.15am and because our next flight to Brunei Darussalam was at 5.50pm so my mother and I decided to go to KLCC. I know my little brother love animals and marine life, so I decided to bring him to Aquaria KLCC, the world class aquarium that showcases animals and various types of marine life.(according to the website).

We took a direct fast train from KL Central (KL Sentral) to Kuala Lumpur International Airport and arrived at KLIA at 4.28pm. We had to check in our big luggages and to go though the immigration. It was pretty rushing though as we had to take the skytrain to go to our terminal and 5.30pm sharp we arrived at the terminal and luckily the terminal gate was still open, otherwise we would have been miss our flight. hehe ;p

It was our glorious night, when we officially graduate from our exchange programme from Universiti Sains Malaysia, the top university in Malaysia (USM) . The event took place at Palace of India at Queensbay Mall, Penang. Surrounded by great people, great food and great surroundings which makes it a great moment. Probably that night will be the final night for some of us because a week after we finish our exam we will depart from Malaysia to go back to our home country :)

Star Cruises : Our Penang Cruise experience

Monday, March 7, 2011

My sisters came to Penang from Brunei Darussalam just to visit me. To show my appreciation, I invited them to experience cruise experience in Penang and in last minutes, my friends decided to join us. So, there are 5 of us including me. Superstar Libra is the name of the cruise ship. The ship itself is huge, it has 10 deck and it has almost everything such as the gym, spa, swimming pool , etc. Cruise ship reminds me of the movie 'Titanic' and 'Pisau cukur' and of course when you watch those movies, you are keen to experience the cruise by yourself, right?

Let the pictures do more talking ;)
