Savings

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Just finished the biochemistry exam.

It was extremely excruciatingly unbelievably hard(i'm juz exaggerating).

However,

I managed to answer most of the questions but of course some of them are just "hentams" ;p

So erm, savings? saving accounts eh?

I wrote in my blog once about me getting pick-pocketed in the tram and got robbed off my account approximately LE 4900. That's quite a sum huh? I was devastated. I cried but just once but it bothered me for a week! One whole long week! It was during last year. I will always remember and never forget about it. And urm, actually it was my ATM card which was in my dompet along with the letter from the bank containing the password for my account. Haha, silly unforgivable foolish mistake right?

I always always always have to learn a lesson the hard way because only then i won't repeat the same mistake ever again. And yet, i still have enough money to travel somewhere outside of egypt and still can go back to malaysia for this summer break. how did i do it? It's financial management people! & it does not involve our parent's money. Seriously, after i lost that much money, i did some calculations and restrict my spendings per month. And you know what? it's actually more than enough to just spend approximately LE 1500 per month, maybe less.

and no need lah to buy i-phone, macbooks, and etc...i mean, perlu ke??? Tak perlu.

Kalo nak sgt2, nanti belilah dgn duet hasil titik peluh sendiri lps dah masuk keje. Lagi nikmat.

Last July, there was LE 0 in my bank account. Sedih gler~~~Now it's building up to quite a sum.

And i don't eat out because i like to cook and also because my housemates like to cook. Eating out increases your monthly budget, so restrict it. And at the supermarkets, only buy what you need, not what you want. Also buy things that are on promotions like buy buying 1, you get free 1. My housemates always buy products that are on sale or on promotions when we are out shopping for groceries and personal stuffs. I don't do such things like buy products that are on sale but i'm learning.

My target is to save up money at least enough to pay back MARA the 1% from the whole scholarship after i graduated. I don't want to ask my parents for their money. Their hard-earned money are more needed by my younger siblings and my grannies.

I was thinking like looking at the rate of my money saving, i can eventually buy a car by cash immediately after i graduated. But then again, i'm still anxious to drive eventhough i do have a driver license, so, i put that idea aside.

My mother made a joke with me saying, "Buat apa nak simpan duet banyak2? nak buat kawen?" Then she laughed. Hii, tak habes2 kawen. Lagipon, i don't think i have to save money if i want to get married right? That's the job of the grooms, hehe.

Alrightie, i'm done. I'm off celebrating yet another friend's birthday for the 4th time this month.

ok, this is a secret i kept inside and never told anyone before. The truth is, i used to be a very very lazy girl who would just watch vidoes and sleep and eat and cook because those are things that i like to do. I didn't even care about exams cause i thought i'd do just fine. Would just read the book a day before the exam. Overconfident there right? Then, after i got my mid term results for my 1 sem, i was like oh, i got 13, 14,13, oh 19, and erm 16.(i think la but mostly are 13s ;p). I thought i did fairly good, haha, naive me. Then i overheard like people saying, "Eii, terrornya kakjah dapat 3 subjek full mark!". I was like, "Hah?" Ada jugak org dpt full mark? Frankly speaking, i thought getting full marks are impossible. At least for people like me la. I'd just settle with "biasa2 je". Then, i found out that my marks are not fairly good, they are actually quite bad. Ooppss, sorry, i forgot, i'm comparing myself to people who are the best among the best. Make sense. I tried hard and gave my best for my assignments and practical exams plus the final exams but i didn't manage to get that many A's. Just one for term and that's because the subject doesn't have mid term and practical exam for it. But i accepted my results as they are because I already anticipated that i won't get A's because of my bad mid term marks. However, i do feel resentment because i was lazy. Now? i'm trying hard too but not to get A's, i don't really mind if i get B's but no C's please( sbb kalo dpt C mcm tak study betul2 je. tapi kalo Allah dah izin dpt C, terima, redha, dan berubahlah ke arah yg lebih baek. Cuba lagi utk akan dtg.), hehe. I got C once...for biochemistry, haha. Couldn't really understand the subject properly but i am trying hard. I couldn't believe it but i read the book three times in two days for this exam. And i still could not understand what's it's all about. Thank goodness there will not be any biochemistry for our 5th sem! I'm trying hard, studying hard now is because it has become more of a habit rather than an obligation. I enjoy it. That's what keeps me going and going~

College life is one thing you are definitely going to miss after you leave it. Cherish it~!

"Kebajikan apa pun yg kamu peroleh, adalah dari sisi Allah, dan keburukan apa pun yang menimpamu, itu dari (kesalahan) dirimu sendiri....hingga akhir ayat"(Al Baqarah;79)

...oh, patutlah selalu kalau dengar ceramah atau tazkirah, penceramah tu atau org yg bagi tazkirah tu suka cakap, "Segala yg benar itu dtg dari Allah, salah & silap itu dari diri saya sendiri. Aqulu qauli haza wa astaghfirullahal 'azimi walakum wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. :)

All the best for everyone.

wassalam~

note to self-lot's of grammar mistakes. Getting a bit rusty la. Hmm...
