Membaca, Reading.

Random.

"Sebenarnya kan, tentang apa orang bagi sama kita secara tiba-tiba, dengan niat dia minta kita balas balik kebaikan dia, bagus tak payah layan, tapi terima ja kebaikan dia tu."

A friend said to me the night before LGA paper.

Heh.

Desperate.

Sebenarnya, dah lama saya taip dalam bahasa kedua, maklumlah TESL.

Jadi hari ini, jom baca entri saya dalam bahasa Melayu.

Dan, saya akan menggunakan 'saya' sepanjang entri ini.

Saya mahu bercerita pasal hobi, membaca.

Membaca seringkali dikaitkan dengan buku, semestinya. Tapi, ramai orang jarang membaca sejak kebelakangan ini.

Sebenarnya, sangat bagus membaca, menambah ilmu, membuka minda, meluaskan pemandangan, pendapat dan banyak lagi.

Dari segenap aspek, membaca sebenarnya sangat penting, termasuklah dalam permainan komputer.

Contoh? Mempertahankan Khazanah (DotA). Hehe.

Itu satu.

Kedua? Baca berita. Dunia sekarang dah mantap, tak perlulah dah surat khabar. Buang kertas.

Kan kerajaan dah kaya.. jadi peruntukkanlah setiap manusia di Malaysia ini ada sebiji komputer atau komputer riba. Hehehe.

Atau pun, naikkan elaun kami - berharap sangat.

Bukan tak bersyukur, tapi ada berita macam tu saya dengar, malah dari orang atasan sendiri.

Kalau naik, alhamdulillah, kalau tak pun, redha.

Okay.

Ketiga, sebenarnya hobi saya suka membaca. Sesuatu yang pelik, sesuatu yang berkaitan dengan DotA (sangat penting), bola, permainan komputer, berita-berita hangat (kecuali gosip artis itu ini).

Malas mahu baca hiburan tentang percintaan artis, persembahan artis, kehidupan artis.

Tapi jika ada 'mood', baca jugalah. Tapi semestinya tak pernah jadi keutamaan ketika memilih bahan bacaan.

Dan musim peperiksaan pula sekarang ini, saya sepatutnya membaca EDU, TSL subjek yang akan berlangsung pada Jumaat ini.

Baru-baru juga, saya baca berita hiburan mengenai Gangnam.

Saya tak benci K-Pop atau pencipta Gangnam tu, tapi perlukah buat pertandingan "Saya adalah Stail Gangnam"?

Tidak. Buang masa. Buang tenaga. Buang duit.

Heh, semualah buang-buang.

Apapun, rajin-rajinkan diri untuk membaca.

Sebab orang yang membaca lebih pandai daripada orang yang tidak membaca.

Tapi orang yang mengaplikasikan ilmunya lebih bagus daripada orang yang sekadar berteori.

Dan paling bagus, orang yang membaca al-Quran dan hadis serta mengamalkannya.

Sebab itu Allah beritahu dalam quran kita digalakkan untuk membaca.

Semestinya, membaca benda yang berfaedah, bukan baca bahan lucah!

Kamu semua pasti tahu tentang berita sepasang kekasih yang memuat naik gambar-gambar 'gila' mereka di blog mereka.

Komen saya? Bodoh lagi bangang.

Apa mereka perjuangkan? Seks bebas?

360 darjah? Ya. Tak boleh dinafikan.

Kalau mereka mengakui dan meminta maaf tidak mengapa.

Sebaliknya, mereka berbangga.

Astaghfirullah al azim.

Apapun, doakan saya dalam peperiksaan kali ini. Jom membaca!

Apa kaitan kekasih tersebut dengan membaca?

Membaca menambah ilmu, mereka ada ilmu tapi tidak berilmu.

Itulah orang yang rugi, yakni tidak mengamalkan ilmunya.

Kucing pun membaca.
P/S - I think I am bad in my first language. Dear miss A, please check my grammar, vocabularies, words, sentences and other. ^_^

One down, three to slash.

First day of exam already passed.

Which was yesterday.

Alhamdulillah, I managed to answer the questions, Allah showed the ways to solve it.

LGA 3101, claimed by our lecturer, was the easiest paper this semester.

Now that the only threat is Phonetics & Phonology. For EDU and ELT, I need to read a lot.

For Phonetics? You need to read, to understand, to practice, especially for transcription.

Damn, now I am very demotivated. Need to boost up my motivation.

Next papers are on 2nd of November, Friday. The other two papers will follow up on the next days.

Well, motivation, motivation. I need to work hard and always seek His help. Insya Allah.

But now, FIFA 13 and DotA....the real temptation. Grr....

Just look at the pictures below.

I found on internet

Just for fun

Seriously, this is what I actually do.
Enjoy.

P/S - The first picture meant for you. ^_^

Temptation vs Study

If not thinking about upcoming exam, I would play about 5 games until now.

However, despite the temptation, I almost played the game at afternoon. But, due to the stupid WarKey and system complication ( I copied the game from a friend), I was not in mood to play it.

Why? The warkey and skills hotkey are stupid, conflict to each other. Well, I just have to copy the original (clean and light version) from my home laptop, as it is the good one.

Still, hearing from the other room "KILLING SPREE", I was screaming inside. Damn you DotA!!

Although the map is released, but still no development about AI. Through AI, I practice using heroes, which my target heroes after exam are Invoker, Enchantress, Holy Knight, Witch Doctor, Necrolic, Warlock, Jakiro. Others like Dazzle, CM, VS, SF, Veno, Ogre, and killer heroes I have learned to use them. Oh yes, I managed to have fun with Dazzle when we fought against seniors. Hehe.

Okay back to the reality. I was tempted to play DotA during this hour, but I keep telling myself that I WILL PLAY DOTA AT NOON OF 4TH NOVEMBER. As soon after my exam is finished. Hehehe.

Studying P&P is very hard, yet easy to understand. All I have to know is about transcription, some concepts and the rules. Yeah, this is a sadistic killer paper. Compare to Methodology, which I already have the picture of exam, I might be able to shoot a good question. Hehehe.

However, EDU is not a tough paper yet could kill me, while LGA might haunt me if I aim inaccurately. Well, both of these are very scary if I do not study. Hehee.

Day after tomorrow, I will be heading home for Idul Adha. Sorry, friends for not being able to celebrate together at IPG, as my only brother and sister are coming home. Hehe. I miss them you know, especially my sister. Though we always quarrel, but we are used to it. Hehehe.

For my brother? Well, I would ask him to buy FIFA for me! Hehehe.

The game seriously.

Then, insya Allah I will be back on Saturday. Why not Sunday? So that I will study. I know that at home, I will not be able to study due to internet and food temptation. Lucky us, we don't eat meat (I am forbid to eat due to my health condition). But seriously, free foods? Heh. Save my money.

Then my LGA paper on 29th. Hoooo. After that, there are 3 days before 3 killer papers in three consecutive days. However my weakness is, I tend to not study after the second final paper. I will end up with movies of playing games afterwards. I hope that I will able to hold much longer.

It's just me. I hope I can.

Well readers, I want to study a few things about P&P before heading to bed. Seriously I am sleepy (a little) since I only slept half an hour at noon.

Hey you, please study. ^_^

P/S - The only way to get rid of DotA/Movies/Korea temptation is to delete or hide them. Seriously.

A week before final

A week before exam.

Am I nervous? Yup.

Reasons? I think this semester is my craziest semester.

Why? I was involved in DotA tournament, DotA match, DotA friendlies, DotA practice, and it's all about DotA.

And why the heck IF released 2 new maps a few weeks before the examination start.

Seriously, go to PlayDotA to check the latest map (6.76).

Study is still my priority. Although it is a week left, it doesn't mean you can't start study.

Those who are able to study at the very last minute, well, good luck.

To think about the exam, I wonder what will the questions be, for my first paper.

The next papers are on three days consecutively. Oh, sorry my bad English.

I'll study hard, insya Allah. I've found a piece of paper about tips on last minute studying.

The paper was distributed during my foundation years, when I read it, I know that I still have the chance to overcome.

I hope that DotA addiction will finally over after the tournament, yet on the next day, we went to fight seniors - 4 games - and we won only one game.

Well, I just managed to be a killer, third place for first and second game, on top when we won the third, and the lowest when we lost again.

Okay, exam. I'll own you. Insya Allah.

Am I ready? I am, but I'm not confident enough. Only to Him I seek help.

Remember, though it is a last minute effort, it is how you put your effort, not when do you put it.

Deep right? Yeah. Let's study.

I won't touch YOU ANYMORE!!

JADUAL WAKTU PEPERIKSAAN IPG OKTOBER-NOVEMBER 2012

29/10 - LGA 3101
2/11 - EDU 3103
3/11 - TSL 3103
4/11 - TSL 3104

Finally, I've found the schedule for exam. When I looked at IPKS, they still haven't update it. I decided to search at different sites of IPG.

Oh, for the IPG students looking for the schedule, here is the link. JADUAL.

If you couldn't open it, tell me. I will help you.

I never expect that our major papers will be on the three beautiful days of the seven days, friday, saturday and sunday. But I'm not shocked at all, maybe I am used to it.

Three major papers for three consecutive days, I definitely will focus on them, and will only study LGA a few days before the exam. It is because LGA is easier than the major papers which I haven't start TSL subjects revision.

There is one thing realize me. Most of our exam, ever since PPISMP Sem 3, our batch or specifically our option is the only option that finish exam quickly. I will pack early my things, and I will play DotA to the fullest!

Don't worry, I'm just joking.

I should focus more on study, since the tournament last tonight. I will fight with my best overcome my rival.

We never win against them, except for once. I managed to dominating the game with Alleria, and I managed to buy divine rapier. Maybe because the captain was a KPLI chinese student, which he is very good in DotA.

Well, that's all. Let me know if you have problem with the link above, I'll try to fix it.

Oh yeah, the schedule is 1Malaysia.

Experience is important, fun is the best.

"GG!"

After waiting for a week, burden finally released.

We were having a DotA tournament just now, and our team was against Science Team.

Well, we never expected them to use such strategy. I mean Axe, Ursa, Abaddon, Venomancer and Tuskarr, while we used Skeleton King, Sven, VS, Jakiro and Barathum.

Why we never expect? Because we thought they would use strategy that I could predict, but tanks vs a tank, initiator, support and killers? Of course, they've won.

Well, it's not much different. For our first competitive game, we managed to pressure them, seriously. If I knew that our final ban would be on abaddon, we would have a great advantage against them.

48 to 42 kills, not much difference. Compare to previous game we had played, we never achieve this, it means we are growing stronger.

Well, if we used Obsidian Destroyer, the game might be different and we might face TheNoob.

It wasn't easy game, for me to be able to analyze after watching the replay. From what I observed, they never ambushed us, never attempt to attack us first. Only we the one who initiate the fight.

Small mistake was occurred during our final chance, we were down from 5v5 to 4v5. That's why we lost.

But still, it was my very first and my precious experience. If there is next time, I definitely will overcome them with my team.

Tomorrow our match would be on loser slot, where we will fight against my own batch (our team, is the only team has mixed batch with me the loner from the second semester along with my senior and super junior, with three from junior). This time, I won't be playing, as I want to be an observer, so that I will know their strategy for the next time we fight them.

It won't be easy, they are tough though they lost to TheNoob. However, we won't give up until we fight.

My hero was Sven. That was my first debut at DotA tournament using Sven, which I had used him when my first match with human players. Though both match ended with lost, but I could see the difference between old and new me. I hope that I can improve more on certain. And yet, I still far from become a good captain. I know that I should listen to my teammates more.

That's it, after this tournament, good bye DotA. It's time for the real tournament, EXAM!!!!

Thank you for the damn line.

Dear Celcom,

I wrote this post just for you.

Thank you for being crazy since three months ago (I don't know you dear readers, but ever since July, I was and still facing the craziness of the network.)

Thank you for not letting me to get messages from others at the right time.

Best of all, thank you for keeping me to stay up just to wait a message.

Well, I guess I want to change to yellow.

Celcom, try to solve the damn problem about network that always occur at night, it annoys your users.

I'm one of them, but... thanks. Maybe, our imaan can improve for being patience. Insya Allah.

I guess, I can make a song for this, though I haven't compose one for a long time.

Motivation

Oh, UAK is less than 24 hours. Heh.

Insya Allah I will study.

During EDU class, my lecturer told us about motivation.

She gave us an anology.

"If I want to move this thing (in front of her), to there (at the edge of the table), how would I do it?"

Most of us gave the same answer. I was just observing and tried to think hard what did she want to tell us.

If you were asked the same thing, what would be your answer?

Yeah. It's not easy to go through someone's mind. I couldn't think more than that.

"The answer is correct. But actually, I want someone to SHOW ME how to do it."

She meant, the action must be done.

The same situation I had faced, but I forgot during the class.

"Put the paper ball inside, until your mouth full with it. Tell me, how to get the paper ball out from your mouth."

"Use hand and get it out."

"But how?!!!"

"We, can talk much. Rarely our action speaks louder than words. We can say, but can we do it?"

Yeah. That was a very good memory.

What I want to tell all of you is motivation.

Sometimes we're motivated enough to do something, and sometimes we won't.

And most of the time, we're motivated because of external factors, rarely internal.

But still, it can be called motivation.

No matter what you do, motivate yourself though no one will give you motivation. Allah, is the best companion for a human.

It's not easy to motivate someone, yet you need to show them so that they will be motivated enough to achieve something.

But it's not that hard, if you know your target. Don't worry, focus.

Let me share you one more story.

There was a boy, who had just finished his big exam. Rather than spending his time at home doing nothing (mostly sleeping), he was forced by his father to come to mosque.

The boy gave excuse, "Isn't just the same for us to pray at home berjemaah, rather than going to mosque?"

His father replied "It's not. For a man, we're almost compulsory as Rasulullah told to do so."

And the boy still unable to accept it, yet he still followed his father's words.

Day by day, the boy started to like it. The boy started to enjoy to go to mosque. Especially when there was a tazkirah.

After getting his license, he's driving to mosque, by himself.

The boy realized that it's a wonderful thing to pray at mosque rather than alone at home. He would never miss, even the dawn prayer.

Yet there will be sometimes he missed berjemaah, although it was not too much.

Actually, it was much better than his past, which he always missed to do so most of it.

One day, as usual, he went to mosque. That time, a tazkirah was given by an ustaz.

"Actually, there are some signs on which our taubat is accepted by Allah. If we realized our changes, which the change from bad to good, that's the sign that our taubat is accepted by Him. Look at ourselves, if at the past we were bad, but today, we always come to pray at mosque, asking His forgiveness, and already left our bad sins, it means that our taubat is accepted by Him. Alhamdulillah."

The boy, who listened to the ustaz, cried silently. As he went back home, he was thinking about the words. He cried. For the incoming days, he determined to not to miss to perform solat anymore, because that was the biggest bad sins he had ever done during his black past, which he didn't want to repeat it again until he dies.

Well that's a story. It inspires me to do the same as him, but still, I also need motivation like him. For you, no matter how bad you are, no matter what sins you did, no matter how many times you left solat, as long as you know to correct, taubat and ask His forgiveness, avoid doing the sins, Allah will always accept your taubat. Insya Allah.

That's why, if someone wants to change, never judge and be "sinis" (I don't know the English word) them, but guide them. This will motivate them more. Insya Allah.

No matter what we do, always realize that Allah is with us. Motivate ourselves to do something and focus.

Let's study! Yeah!

P/S - Addictive towards game reduced to 70%.

Killing Spree; UAK

. . .

UAK, less than 48 hours to go. I guess.


But let's talk about something.

I still had time to play DotA, this time we fought our seniors.

From what I can see, they weren't serious. Yup. It's just because we were totally doomed.

Actually, I was two-hearted to play with my juniors. However, one of them persuaded me to join them.

The first game, that was actually lucky. Since I was using AA, which I swapped with the leader.

I was happy to get a killing spree, although it's just a fun game.

Second game, I thought that I could use a support hero, Chen. But the leader insist me to use Ursa as he was tanky. Although he is not a tanker.

Third game, I was forced to use Admiral. Seriously.

Now then, for the analysis. I admit that I was very afraid to farm, but then it's just not me.

I was the support, for two games. I had to buy courier for my own team with no one care about it. Seriously.

Actually, the main reason we lost 'killing spree' is because we focused to defend, rather than attacking.

Another reason, lack of cooperation.

We were focusing to farm and level rather than to cooperate with each other.

Still, it was my first game with the seniors, and I thought I could watch the replay and overcome my weaknesses.

However, it's no use if you had poor teammates.

That's why I refused to do so, although I eventually played. This is because most of my teammates, except for the captain (I think) were not familiar in using heroes selected. I could use most of them, although it was my first attempt, the only first attempt hero I have ever used and could kill was Necrolyte <-- with no practice at all!

That's different game. But for just now, I knew that we wouldn't stand a chance, but we fight too. Just for kill.

At least I had kills. The most was six.

Heh. I think I just need to practice more. I can develop my own team, but I rather to not making DotA as my priority.

Back to UAK, it will be on Wednesday afternoon. Two subjects.

I'm actually worried about both literasi subject. Since my skill in calculating already 'berkarat', while I can't expect what questions would be asked in literasi bahasa.

But, that doesn't mean I won't read. I will read notes from websites, as well as discussing with my members.

Now only left is my exam. Since I've already deleted my FB, I won't be bothered of the notications.

The only thing to do is to left my addictive towards gaming. Arggh!!!!!!!!!!

This time, I really need motivation.
