Kehidupan di Seseri/SMS Seri Puteri

It's been a very long time since I updated, so I guess this is another life update for the first time in an eternity?

A new chapter begins.

It has been approximately two weeks since I changed my school. I am the second intake of SMS Seri Puteri, the Meliora batch. Honestly, I do not really like my batch name because the meaning is too cliche. Saya mampu redha je la hukshuks. I thought this might be useful to anyone who is interested in this school so I have decided to post about life in Seseri. Since 2016, Seseri has limited their intakes of Form 4 students and started taking in Form 1 students. I'm lucky enough to be chosen, I guess. Out of 2000+ of those who applied for Seseri, currently only 74 people including me are eligible enough to come to this school and choose to. Well, my mother encouraged me to accept this offer. 

Anywhere in life that you want to go.. You really need strong mentality. "I can survive." "I can do it."

When I first set foot into this school, I was very excited. There are a lot of opportunites in this school you may get. Scholarships, experience, opportunities to show your talents and skills. Seseri is a prestigious school, ranking number 11 of all Malaysian schools for the best SPM results. Number 9 in SBP. Considering the fact that Seseri is an SBP, they do take in non-Malays but they are usually the minority. So, if you are a non-Malay, you really need to stand out. The rules are very tight here, discipline is so important. If you do anything slightly wrong, like calling at a wrong time, you will get demerits. Which sucks. I really encourage you to choose to go to SPT MRSM if you are Malay because I have a friend in MRSM TGB and the rules are less tight there. (MRSM TGB is the number 1 Malaysian school) Chill for life bruh! Due to some personal reasons, I have only chose to apply for Seseri. 

As I got to know more about this school, the excitement faded. Too much rules and homeworks. All of it higher than Mount Kilimanjaro, or even Mount Everest. Again, redha.

Here's a little bit about the school's background:

The school (Sekolah Menengah Sains Seri Puteri aka SESERI) was established in 2003 at the old territory of SSP aka Sekolah Seri Puteri (which is in Cyberjaya now). Don't be fooled, the school buildings and hostels are much older than it is stated. SSP was established in 1968 at this territory and moved in 2003, so the school is indeed very very old. Located in Jalan Kolam Ayer, Seseri is in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. 

To ask for an offer to go to this school, you will need to apply online through KPM. There are a few conditions you ought to fulfill.

1. A lot of As in PT3. straight As, usually. A in Science and Maths are definite.

2. Malaysian citizen!! Warganegara Malaysia. 

3. Active in co-curiculum. At least B (Not many here I know have C).

Side note: the government prioritise those from outside KL, healthy(no asthma, serious health problems etc) and have parents with low salaries. 

If you are someone who has been learning Maths and Science in BM, be prepared to become a translator. You will have to learn all elective subjects, Maths and Science in English. Our nation's second language is very important in this school. Besides that, you must also prepare financially. At least 1.5k for the fees, another 1k for personal belongings. The teachers currently working in this school are mostly young. Yes, very good qualification but less experienced. Some of the teachers who are still single, have very bad temper and teaches effortlessly. There are also some teachers who will make you feel sleepy in class and ask you to study a lot of things on your own. 

Some rules out of the billions of rules in Seseri:

1. No phones can be brought to school(even Nokia)
2. Use public phone to call (4.30pm-5:15pm)(10:15pm-11pm)
3. No tablets. Only laptops with stickers that you need to purchase from the HighCom.
4. Everyday riadah except weekends
5. After riadah and before dinner together.. Shower and get ready for 25minutes/40minutes (follow the time) Yes, I know it sucks but what sucks even more is that you need to line up and share a bathroom with only 5-7showers. A bathroom is shared by two dorms. One dorm often consists of 15-20 people.
6. Visiting time on Saturday:11am-5pm, Sunday:1pm-5pm
7. No maggi. No romance novels. All food must be put in bilik Kopi. All toiletries in the bathroom.
8. General inspection every Sunday.(Spotcheck locker)
9. You need to own a spoon and a fork.
10. Prep 3 hours and 30 minutes in a day.
11. Lights out at 11pm
12. Before lights out, bacaan/iqamat at dorm
13. Always say "Assalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera boleh saya masuk" before entering another class or dorm or anywhere that you do not belong
14. T2S Tunduk salam senyum
15. Never step the grass while wearing PVC shoes
16. Public speaking everyday. Everyone will eventually need to.
17. Don't go into the raining area.
18. Only once a month you are allowed to go home, sometimes not at all. For me, I won't have the chance to go back home on July and September.
19. Outing only 8 times in a year. You need to have a Buku Pas Keluar whenever you leave the school. Your parents or siblings need to own a buku Pas Pelawat too.
20. Eat with fork and spoon. Don't pull your chair or make noise with it during dinner.

I could go on and on and on about the rules but I am too tired remembering the school rules while I am at home for a holiday.

So that is it for this post. If you have any questions to ask, do feel free to leave a comment. Geubyeee and Good Luck dear future Seserians!!

Sajak pertama yang telah aku tulis. (16/04/2015) Jangan telan.

Senyuman diletak atas wajah
Kerana tak mau yang lain berasa kau
dalam keadaan payah,
Segala kesakitan dikau telan
Kerana tak mau yang lain membuat spekulasi
bahawa kau kemurungan.

Oh, wahai manusia!
Adakah engkau sedar?
Berlaku cahaya bersinar
Berlalu awan mendung
Perjuangan ini kau teruskan
Biarpun tenagamu kehabisan.

Rohmu di suatu tempat yang gelap
Akan dikau mekar dan lenyap
Gundah
Bila kau mau ia pindah?
Keruntuhanmu disebabkan ralat
yang hanya berasal dari ayat.

Oh, wahai pejuang!
Adakah engkau sedar?
Kau mau menyelamatkan yang lain
meskipun kau tak mampu menyelamatkan diri
Sedikit-sedikit, lama-lama menjadi bukit
Suatu hari jasadmu akan meletup kerana terlalu pahit

Kini, jangan dikau telan
Kini, jangan dikau sembunyikan
Teruslah berjalan
Ya, aku setuju,
Ada mereka yang terlalu 'sibuk' dengan urusan diri
Akan tetapi ada mereka yang benar-benar peduli

Justeru,
Jangan kau telan.
Jangan telan.
Jangan.

Best websites to watch Asian(Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese..) dramas & other

For those who live in Malaysia, here are some websites that I recommend to watch Asian dramas with English subtitles

I think Korea is the country in Asia that really exposes their dramas internationally, more than Japan, Taiwan and China so...

Best website to watch mostly Korean dramas:

-myasiantv.com/ 

  (really has good HD quality videos)

On mobile phones or tablets:

-Viki

Best website to watch all Kor, Jap, Tai, Ch dramas:

-gooddrama.net/ (this website doesn't have HD quality videos for all dramas, popular dramas yes, but overall the quality of videos are fine and the subtitles are good)

As for apps for mobile phones or tablets, I couldn't find any.

------

Best website to keep (kinda) up to date with Japanese dramas:

-jdorama.com/

(it has all the synopsis and facts)

Best website to keep up to date with Korean dramas:

-dramafever.com/

Some other websites to watch:

-YOUTUBE!! obviously.

~there are some dramas that a few youtube users upload so feel free to watch there

Review on Liar Game (Japanese drama)

So this is the synopsis:

At the show, a scrupulously honest college student named Nao Kanzaki - receives a package containing 100 million yen (about 1 million dollars) and a note that she is now a contestant in the Liar Game Tournament. In this fictional tournament, contestants are encouraged to cheat and lie to obtain other contestants' money, with the losing ones forced to bear a debt proportional to their losses. When Nao's first opponent - a trusted former teacher - steals her money, she seeks assistance from a con man named Shinichi Akiyama. Though they manage to defeat him, Nao and Akiyama decide to buy out his debt and advance through different rounds of the Liar Game Tournament against merciless contestants, while at the same time attempting to free their opponents from debt and to defeat the Liar Game organization from within.

I am giving this drama 5/5 stars. It was very very mindblown. There were times where I was confused a lot. So many tricks and deceiving. This drama has taught me a lot of things so I cannot wait to watch the second season. Kanzaki Nao, I think, has made such an impact on me, same goes to this drama. It's okay to believe in people because no matter how evil they are, how broken they are, if you manage to touch their heart and show them hope, they will believe in you. There is bad in the world but at the same time there is good and light. It has really touch my heart and made me more interested in psychology.

Besides that, oh my god Matsuda Shota was so so damn hot I just couldn't handle it. I feel like Akiyama fell in love with Kanzaki Nao even though in the manga and j drama, it didn't really show the romance but I know he did fell for her and I know they will end up together though it doesn't show that in the series. He was such a broken person but Kanzaki Nao brought hope for him and I just ship them so so so muchchchchhcchh. 

Overall, it was such an amazing drama. I can't wait to watch the second season.

Sajak 24/4/15

Sebuah sajak yang ditulis sehari sebelum sambutan hari lahir ayahanda.

Oh papa!

Dulu aku benci!

Bergenang air mataku melihat engkau menusuk hati mamaku

Adakah engkau tak dengar aku luahkan semuanya pabila waktu senja tiba

Oh, aku lupa!

Cubit paha kanan, paha kiri sakit juga

Engkau tiada, engkau pergi, engkau tinggalkan kami tatkala

kami tenggelam dalam kegundahan!

Meranap mamaku bersayu

Terguris hatiku melihat mamaku macam tu

Tergamak engkau biar mamaku macam tu

Alangkah baiknya jika engkau minta ampun dengan mamaku

Namun begitu

Aku sedar

Hanya engkau yang aku dapat panggil ayah

Engkau yang mampu tetap membantuku

Emosiku yang sebelum ni berlingkar kini berpancar

Secocok dengan langit yang sekian lama menjadi biru

Akhirnya aku dapat keluh dengan lega

Kerna aku sedar engkau tak seperti ayah lain

Yang tak berhati perut kerna meninggalkan keluarga selama-lamanya

Yang sepatutnya dipandang hina kerna menjual anak

Yang lebih kejam kerna menggunakan keganasan atas isteri dan

Darah daging sendiri

Alhamdulilah

Terima kasih ayahanda

Engkau masih sanggup menanggung beban ni walaupun

sedikit sahaja jikalau mau bandingkan dengan bonda

Engkau masih berada di sini

Terima kasih ayahanda

Atas segalanya yang kau telah berikan

Sungguhpun aku tak maafkan

Bumi mana yang tiada hujan

Jadi, aku akan terima

Di sini

Inginku minta maaf jika pernah keterlaluan

Renunglah luar jendela

Dan perhatikan bintang itu

Selamat hari lahir, dady!

Updates on life #4

Exam is over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAS YAS YAS YAS finally exams are over and Im enjoying my freedom a lot right now!!!!!!!!!!! I think that I did my best so hopefully the results will come alright InsyaAllah. Maths was the easiest I guess huhuhu. The hardest has got to be KH. Damn damn KH. My KH teacher asked us to read Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 ONLY for form 1 but the questions damnnnn! They had questions of other chapters ugh... AND we're in form 2 not form 1.. so why were there so many questions of form 1???? I don't get it sigh. Plus, she expects us to all get As for KH. What the hell?

Ok other than exams I guess things are pretty much alright. Izzah and me... Hm, I guess we're fine, but we're definitely not the same as before and I feel like we have drifted apart a lot and I feel like she is only half-heartedly being friends with me. Same goes to Nadya. I don't know why, it's just that I have that feeling. OH TOMORROW IS IU DAY! I don't know whether I should wear jubah to IU day . I want to because I don't want to be casual, neither do I want to go there dressing all fancy. So I thought jubah was perfect, just as uztazah had recommended to my whole class if we wanted to go to IU day. Hahahaha. Of course right? It's an uztazah.

Another thing is I don't know whether I should really restart. By what I mean restart is changing schools. I want to but I feel like I don't want to. I promised my friends that I would not change school if those 5 girls really try to block me from transferring.

So that's all for this update. :)

Japanese&Mandarin

So I reallyreally want to learn Japanese and continue learning Mandarin.. I want to study in Japan sooo yea in order for that 我必须好好与努力的学日本语!
