About me

Last week was one of the most memorable weeks for me as I had the chance to have an iftar picnic with my friends during Ramadan. We actually planned to get ready two hours earlier, but as usual, we took quite a long time to prepare. Because of that and the traffic, we only arrived just in time to break fast and did not manage to buy any food. Luckily, our male friends had already arrived much earlier and prepared everything for us. They even bought food and drinks because they already expected that we might be late. We had our iftar picnic together, and it was a really nice and meaningful moment. After that, we performed tarawih prayers and later went for supper after tarawih where we had grilled food. We also played truth or dare, and it was so fun that we did not realize how late it had gotten. Before heading back, we took some photos in front of Petronas Twin Towers , which made the night even more memorable. When we got back, we started packing and cleaning our rented house sinc...

  This week was quite unsettling because several unexpected things happened. It started with a misunderstanding between me and one of my housemates, but the situation became more confusing because of what happened earlier near the lift after class. At that time, I entered the lift with one of my housemates while waiting for the others. I checked outside a few times, but I did not see anyone, so I assumed they were still far behind. Just as the door was about to close, another housemate managed to enter, and we held the door for her. While inside, she mentioned the name of another housemate, which made me look outside again, but the hallway still looked empty, so I pressed the button to go up. However, things became tense when we reached the house. We realized we forgot the key, and the only person who had it was the housemate who did not enter the lift earlier. Not long after, she arrived, clearly tired and upset. She explained that she had been running towards the lift and was act...

  This week was honestly super stressful because I had to juggle studying for tests and finishing my project at the same time. Most nights I slept so late trying to finish everything that getting up for class felt like climbing Everest. Our class is on the 4th floor, and with the lifts always packed, I basically became a professional stair climber while fasting. Walking up all those stairs on an empty stomach made me question all my life choices. One day, right when it was almost time to break fast, I went to the toilet and discovered my period had started. Perfect timing, as if the universe had decided to add an extra challenge. Despite the chaos, I had to stay focused and push through to finish my assignments and prepare for the tests. Even though it felt like everything was against me, I reminded myself that stress is temporary but determination lasts longer. After the tests, my housemate and I decided some healing was necessary. We walked around Putrajaya until early morning,...

  Before Ramadhan started, my whole family was already excited and looking forward to it. There was this special feeling when everyone talked about the upcoming fasting month and started preparing together. On the first few nights, I spent time with my cousins playing fireworks in the house yard. It was such a fun and happy moment because we were all laughing and enjoying the night together. During Ramadhan, we fasted as one big family and went to the Ramadan bazaar to buy food for iftar. The bazaar was always crowded and full of different food choices, which made the experience even more exciting. In the evening, we broke our fast together, sitting in one big group and sharing the food. That moment felt very warm and meaningful to me. I also helped my aunty bake Sarawak layer cake and prepare Raya cookies. It required patience and teamwork, but I enjoyed learning the process. At night, I had a sleepover with my cousins where we watched movies and talked until late. Even though i...

   Week 8 of Semester 2 as a Computer Science diploma student was both challenging and full of learning experiences. The week started with a lot of anxiety because of our upcoming project presentation on website interfaces. I had missed the initial project briefing due to medical leave, so I felt a bit lost when I first joined my group. The biggest challenge was the technical requirement since we were expected to design and build a website using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, which were not taught this semester. I had to figure out these languages on my own, but luckily my cousin, who has experience in web design, guided me through the basics and helped me make progress. Meanwhile, in class, we continued learning Java, which was interesting but made balancing the project a bit tougher. Unexpectedly, all our classes on Tuesday were cancelled. At first, I was just surprised, but then I realized it was actually a perfect chance to take a break and recharge. My housemates and I decide...

Hi, my name is Nurbarqis Yazidna. I’m a Year 1 Computer Science student at UPTM. I chose this course because it lets me be creative while learning something technical, even though I never expected myself to take it. I’ve always been interested in art, so mixing that with computer science is really exciting. Learning new things in computer science makes me feel proud of myself, even if it’s something others might find easy. It’s amazing to realize that I can do things I never thought I could. I’m a big foodie and I especially love Korean, Japanese, and Malaysian dishes. Honestly, I can eat almost anything as long as it’s halal, though I do have my limits. I also enjoy baking from time to time, experimenting with cakes or pastries. I also love cats, they always make me smile. During my free time, I usually watch K-dramas, scroll through TikTok, or watch movies. Sometimes, I like to learn random stuff or even pick up programming languages that we don’t cover in class. I also enjoy doing m...
