"What is Barakah?" - Ustazah Siti Hawa, Selected Themes of Al-Quran.

"Blessing. Berkat." 

Blessing could not actually explains the word barakah correctly, the same goes to the word Islam as I previously learned in first semester. It's hard to give full explanation to certain (?) arabic words because of its beautiful and deep meanings hiks. So, my Ustazah said one of the meaning from the word Barakah is increasing (ziyadah). For example, you learn something and then from that little things you learnt it could actually benefits more people or continously benefits people. Ada barakah, like how we Malays always said. Lulz.

Amboi, Tautan Hati! Lulz, during Business Class, the lecturer mentions about Congregational Prayers (Solat Jemaah) ; macam mana dengan merapatkan saf seolah-olah hati kita bertaut! 

Adios!

Assalammualaikum.

For me, it’s always being Korean Dramas and Japanese/Pinoy/Thailand Movies. Malay Dramas, sometimes but it’s depend on how I view (literally?) it, preferably – Romcom. Simply, because the these countries movies/dramas have criterias that suit my taste, honestly. However, I have this weird addiction on Chinese Dramas after watching Love Me If You Dare and My Amazing Boyfriend.

In my own word, this drama tells the journey of Qiao Fei in becoming a French Interpreter. She is a top student and managed to get into Institute for Advanced Interpretation (IAI) for internship. While, Cheng Jia Yang – a professional French Interpreter and at the same time Qiao Fei’s mentor during internship. Well, sparks and sparks after that they somehow become close.

Cliche enough?

I know, but the thing is – the characters are quite special. Jia Yang for example. He is not that kind of person who would provide everything to make things easier. Instead he provides support and that person need to work for it. He pushed people to go over their comfort zone. That trait, in particular attract me the most? Lulz.

Qiao Fei, like I said each of the character is unique in a way. I actually opposed how Qiao Fei reacts at first. I mean who dares to question your interviewer like he is your old-known-friend? I’m not. Man, you know that we usually connect (by putting ourselves in the characters shoes yada yada kan?) with the characters. Tapi, den takboleh sebab karakter dia wa cakap lu, so not me *menangis di penjuru* Bold sangat.

But then, gradually boleh connect hiks hiks.
Or I think I did?

The cons, might be the super long episodes –  I mean, heck its 42 episodes guys! Therefore, you can expect kinda slow progression over the plot. But still, it’s worth to give a try. You can take time chewing it properly (and spaz each time Jia Yang smile) That guy, never smile until the tenth episodes, I swear. Besides, this drama have more conflicts than the usual one. I have watched until 20th episodes and heck I wanna kick Jia Yang’s brother real hard.

Taklupa juga kawan Jia Yang dan Qiao Fei, comels teramat!

Other factors that make me favours this drama might because they work in language department lulz. And I, as a language student pun ter-effect sekali. Haha.

When all is going well for me, when everybody is telling me that I’m great. I tell myself, “You are not as good as they say you are.”

When everybody says I’m terrible, I tell myself, “You are not as bad as they say you are.”

Humans are individual beings. Our egos are very important. For a lot of problems, other people can’t help you. You can only help yourself. All problems are problems with ourselves. That’s why you must give yourself confidence. You must cheer yourself on.
