BEST ANDROID APPLICATION !

… sesungguhnya Allah sekali-kali tidak akan merubah sesuatu nikmat yang telah dianugerahkan-Nya kepada sesuatu kaum, hingga kaum itu merubah apa yang ada pada diri mereka sendiri, ………. ( QS.An Anfaal 8 : 53 )

Easter holiday is here! Instead of going home I have to go to Brunei Hall (the closest I can get to home here). The problem is the huge amount of things that we have to pack and bring to London. Especially when exams are getting closer (have to pack notes




We have to use two trains so the problem is lifting this heavy luggage.
Easter is the time for revisions. I hope I can revise efficiently this holiday. My motivation at the moment? Venice!:D





I found the most useful android application ever! 'Camscanner' it is. I can scan my notes on my tablet and they will adjust it to make it look perfect! I paid for the full version of this application and you can say I'm satisfied. I use it to scan some of my heavy notes so that I don't have to bring everything.


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
                                                        

                                                             HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Salam Isnin, No Stress ;)

'Then which favors of your lord will you deny?' -Surah Ar Rahman

Salam Isnin to all :)

Last week was pretty tough. Had to deal with tests, loads of school work and some heart breaking news. But I manage to get through the week with joy.

Had a really busy Monday morning today. Every teacher is now trying to catch up with the syllabus before easter break. At the end of the afternoon I just can’t walk properly anymore (too tired & drained). Worried that I will not have the energy to revise mechanics tonight I decided to take a really cold shower and drink a cup of coffee before studying.

  Now I am hyperactive as ever  :} EVER!

                                                           

Have a good week ;)

Laughter is the best medicine! but not too much xp

"Sebuah cinta dan harapan menjadi debu berterbangan"-Random Song quote

So today Aliana & I plan to support Syadirah for her presentation on a program named Learn2Lead run by Procter & Gamble, a program to give in depth understanding on leadership (I guess it's something like that ). But there were so much obstacles.

We were late, we were a bit soak (it rains a bit) and it was really cold. The taxi didn't come after about 25 minutes so we have to wait outside within that duration. After we got to the main entrance of P&G building we realized that it was locked because we did not have any card.

At the end, we missed her presentation. Oh well~ we did accompany her home.

                                                      We LAUGHED it off at the end :'D

Venice preparations

Cannot wait to go to Venice which is a few more weeks from now. But, the odds is that exams are coming as well. Preparations for Venice are set with tickets and apartments ready. We bought our ticket through a travel agent called Ryan air. The luggage weight restriction is just 10 kg so imagine the amount of clothes that we can bring. We'll arrive at Treviso airport as we were told.

                                             

Finding an apartment in Venice is the toughest part. We spent weeks trying to find a suitable apartment that fits 13 people and is within our budget. We end up renting 2 apartments that are close together. 1 near Rialto bridge &  1 near St Mark's Square.

Our last preparation is to learn to speak a little bit of Italian in case it comes in handy.

Ciao!                                                    
Scusi, Dove piazza san marco? 

On the other hand, exams are coming. Have to get healthy and mind sorted with informations! Arrivederci!

Venice, that tiny beautiful island to the north east side of Italy, that is where I'm heading next. About less than a month to go! Romantic scenery as above I hope it will better than HD once I can see it with my own eyes.

Hectic preparations for exams begin now. Revision needs to be done before Venice trip :) Let this be our motivation !

                      GO US! (This includes my friends who are going with me to Venice) ;D

Snowy Harrogate

Yes, this is my first time ever to experience the magnificent snowy scenery of UK.(Our teacher finds it funny,which is funny because we're serious)I was in my Maths class when it started to snow really heavily and i wish i can go out and play. 

Anyway i didn't get the chance to play snow that day nor the next couple of weeks.

Then one day, on a weekend it majestically snows again. Harrogate town was covered in white cotton-looking snow. Weee!

The Young Bruneian ( In The United Kingdom Going Back Home)

For this winter break, some of us decided to go back home. According to our calculations, ticket back to Brunei approximately equal to the price of expenses in London for a month x) Seriously!


Using Royal Brunei Airlines from London to Dubai, it takes about 8 hours and we have transit for about half an hour. It is really sad that we cannot sit together on the plane(totally boring) Now we know that we have to book our seats in advance! After that, we proceed our flight to BRUNEI for another 8 hours~ After Dubai, I really can't sleep because I was so excited.

                                                       

I'm staying in Brunei from the 9th of December until the 30th of December. Nothing feels better than going back home and spending time with my parents and siblings.(I said, NOTHING!)These three months we only communicate through Skype. Anyway Skype is amazing, communication made easy and cheap ( compare to about 20 years ago when students communicate by mail! )
                                      
I spent time playing games and quarelling with my siblings ( Every single day )... On the 14th of December, my friends came over. How nice of them for coming. Thank you guys I am truly delighted. We went to watch The Hobbit and CZ12 at the Times Square cinema some time after that. We had so much fun.


Every weekend is fruit weekend we( my family) went to our fruit island like any other december because fruit season has come!! Durian fever all over again. We don't have to buy these fruits like Rambutan, Durian, Cempedak, Kembayau, Manggis, Pulasan etc because we just have to pull it off from our trees ofcourse! :) Easy? ofcourse not that easy it takes time to cross over the island ( As stated on my previous old post about this island )

                                  

TIME FLEW SO FAST. I can't believe i'm going back to UK tomorrow. My parents will be coming along with us but not my siblings. I will miss them so much I can't help but shed a tear. But I do understand that I am sacrificing for the best. There is still Skype, Subhanallah, how technology can really help :')

                      I hope life & studies will improve next term. Amin. An optimist all the way!                         

Turn off "adapting" mode and switch on "get on with your life" mode then. So I will be blogging more! =D

Thank You For Reading.

The Young Bruneians ( In The United Kingdom)

        Currently 17 and sent abroad to UK to study. ALHAMDULILLAH what a 

great opportunity:") ~Won't waste it, I can I can I can do it~ *lets raise one hand up to the sky*

                                                                

Assalamualaikum, Hello! 

Being a seventeen years old living in the UK, away from family is hard but we must be optimistic at all time. This is for the better, InsyaAllah. I am lucky to have my three Bruneian friends in HLC( Harrogate Ladies' College) where we behave like sisters supporting, reminding and helping one another. They are Aliana, Syadirah and a senior, Amal (studying A level) <3<3 We were never lonely.

Bruneian students in the UK are so lucky we're bless. Every holiday, the students can go to london and stay at the Brunei Hall. This is a place for Bruneian students to stay for the holiday. It is only 1.80 pounds per night and they serve Malay food to satisfy cravings. NYUM. My first half term holiday was great. The first day in Brunei Hall was coincidentally the Aidiladha! It feels like in Brunei! People wore Baju Kurung, there were alot of Brunei food and ofcourse that Takbir raya which soothes the heart that hear them :') Nice nice nice!!!

                            

That half term holiday we (me, Aliana, Syadirah ) met my friends and were especially happy to reunite with Khairah and Amrina. Me and my friends went to the Chessington park where we had alot of fun trying different scary rides x(

THE END OF THE SHOW KIDS!    @ CHESSINGTON WORLD OF ADVENTURE RESORT

Sad, the half term were just 10 days. But there are consequences of living in London ( Light wallet at the end of the holiday*tears*). The expenditure were really expensive in London from its transportation to its food(If we missed a meal in Brunei Hall,or still feel hungry). There were alot of tempting things to buy such as clothes and accesories. Everything looks good but as a student.........
                    SAVING IS IMPORTANT!
       4 hours of journey back to Harrogate by train. Since we're going north-wards it is always really cold in Harrogate compared to London.BRRRRR~~
                                   Anyway~ Home sweet home.Or should I say, room sweet room?                          

Back to school!

UNITED KINGDOM ! Husna is here =)

It has been about three months since my last post. These three months I was on 'adapting mode'. I was given a chance to study abroad to the United Kingdom !(THANK YOU BRUNEI!<3<3)

   

Specifically i'm currently studying and living at Harrogate Ladies' College, Harrogate, North Yorkshire.There were ups and downs as I tried to adapt living on the other side of the world(literally) battling culture shock and the super cold weather.Now i'm in the lower six and going to sit for AS level examination on May 2013.

                              <--FRONT VIEW

Undoubtedly, this is an international schools. There are students from ofcourse UK, Hong Kong, China, German, Russia, Czech Republic and many other countries. Oh yeah, first thing I want to explain is the Bruneians white scarf in school, To explain, it's just the thing in Brunei to use white scarf as school uniform and all the flowery and coloured scarf for outside use. hehe! (Just telling~)

This is my first time ever being separated so long & far from my family & I take it as a challenge for self-improvement, self-disciplined & to be more independent!!

 I was surprised to know that there are so many school holidays in the UK. These are some of the pictures from my half term holiday on November.

The moon's not sighted in Brunei so Monday's the first Syawal for us. We make use of Sunday's time to bake last minute cake and biscuit, and preparing our living room while listening to some hari raya songs on the radio :) That night I pack my bags for this 30th of August,my departure to United Kingdom:'( Eventhough it's hard to do so, there's nothing that I can do. My things won't pack by itself(I keep on reminding myself)

First day of Syawal and like every year,we ate special hari raya food like ketupat,rendang and satay which was cooked specially by my mother in the early morning(ofcourse i help to prepare too).
