Salam..


How to begin my story? Okay, the title just did .. As u all may want to know, every semester, IIUM will accept thousands of new intake students and like 2 previous sems, I was one of the committees incharged of the Ta'aruf Week (fyi, ta'aruf means orientation and week means.. week la ;p). My first involvement was during semester 1, July 2009/2010 as the Programme Coordinator committee, and the second was during semester 2, December 2009/2010 as the Preparation & Technical committee. So, for my 3rd time, i was kinda hoping that i would get Prep Tech bureau as well, but as soon as i saw my name under the Multimedia Bureau, as the ASSISTANT HEAD, i was like...

Me: Eh Shyra, ni aku ke ni?
Shyra Registration: name ko kan ni? Btol la tu.. <------another shyra.. in Ta'aruf, we have 4 syahirah.. very the famous u see)

Omg! omg! Multimedia was like my last choice! Plus, i've never been a Multimedia crew before.. No experience, nada! I felt so down.. :(
But before i knew, it turned out to be the most invaluable experience ever.. :)

So the next day, all of us (around 200 commitees) went to Glory Beach Resort, Port Dickson for Induction. You know, ice breaking, having fun, brainstorming, etc2. Oh, I almost forgot. As MM crew, we are incharge of photography sessions, name tags, videos, gimmick, and any other multimedia thingy.. So, instead of playing the sukaneka games, i took pictures! hek3! Hey i just bought the shoes.. 1st time using it, sayang tau! ;p

So 3 days there, we got along.. Got to know new people, took pictures, play cool (as Asst. Head.. ngeh3), and owh3! I've developed new passion for photography!! Seriously tho.. i'm carayyzee! (Abah, akak nak DSLR 1 plizzzz~~ *batting eyeleshes* )

check it out.. i took these ----->







cool beans, ain't it?

Hey.. how rude i are? Introducing... the coolest, the cun-est and the smallest crew of Ta'aruf Week July 2010/2011.. Multimedia Crew!!! (Clap3!)


Boys: Spa Q, Ameen, Hasbi, Zaid
Girls: Kaka, Nadz, Nina, Syira, Aniq

We had our gimmick shooting at Port Dickson when other bureaus were busy brainstorming to complete their actions/master plans.. hehe.. we had so much fun!!

We went back to UIA on the 1st July 2010 (HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HAZWAN KADIR!) and we had our operation room at KAED lecture room.. Every night we had to stay back till 2-3 a.m. Poor us.. isk3! naah... As a student, we all have gotten used to it.. Piece of cake mann.. ;) To make it interesting, one night, when me n nina were walking back to our room, just 50 metres away, we got stopped by a freakin' dog!! Ya Allah.. We were so afraid and recited doas in hoping it will go away or at least not biting us.. We went there, it followed us.. We turned over and that creature friggin' chased us! buduh punye anjing! we slowly turned back and went to the guard booth, alhamdulillah it went back to its resting place.. Kesian mak guard yang mamai tu kena teman kitorang balik.. haihh~ What a nite, huh?

6th July 2010.. Here comes the big R-Day.. Around 1800++ registered and i was assigned to be the backstage-girl.. We played e-announcement, videos and pictures taken during registration over and over again.. Did i mention that the e-announcement voice was mine? Yup.. Me me! But i didn't have to tell tho.. People kept asking me whether it was me and i was like.. "eh, manade..." *blushed*

4 out of 5 gals in my bureau were selected to be MCs yeaww! haha.. but little did i know, i had no partner.. just me! huwaa... but i kinda rawk! :)

2 weeks of Ta'aruf, I learned about Corel the video editor, more Photoshop tutorials, and i had to create a KYKM (Knowing You Knowing Me) video for 21 Prep Tech crew in just 1 minute! can u believe it? sure u can.. i did it.. 1 min 30 secs.. ok la tu kan, kang cam charlie chaplin lak jadinye.. hehe
Okayyh.. Here i put some pictures during the event.. Me so lazy to slam on this keyboard.. Plus i re-write this thang after the bloddy blog erased it when i tried to insert pictures.. hmphh -_-"

I tried my best to be a good leader, a great friend and i hope that our friendship remains till the end of time.. u all A-lot!! -xoxo-

Hey readers.. Before i begin, i feel like clarifying 1 thing.. Do u see that book that i'm holding in the About Me picture? Right hand Iced Blended Caramel Coffee Bean (which most probably i'm gonna buy like tomorrow cuz it's been ages since i had one), and left hand a book? Yeah it says She's so Money for those who can't read.. i mean see. Anyway, here's d thing.. i just love books.. i can sit alone for hours in a bookstore just reading and do nothing.. And frankly that book was bought like 10 mins before d picture was taken by my beloved cousin.. (She's cute btw.. ;) ) So why am i telling u this? Because a "bird" told me that anyone (especially strangers) who's readin' my blog and see my photo could think that i'm so into money which i'm not.. (but they could also think so since i'm explaining this.. Aii people are so complicated..)
Erm, moving on.. I should be studying right now.. cuz it's finals. But i'm so caught up in laziness.. My first-and-only final paper is on 16th June 2010.. 1 paper only babe! (it's a short semester, fyi) But still.. we students are capable of multi-tasking.. Studying, facebook-ing, blogging, texting and chatting all at once! very productive u see.. hehe... okie-dokie! gtg now.. wish me luck people.. Daa~~

Assalamualaikum...



Hey guys! Err.. I should say WELCOME TO MY BLOG, shouldn't i? So.. Welcome to my blog.. hehe.. Seriously, it took me some time to think what to write in here. Even right at this second.. (help!) Ehem.. Well, as I was saying, I said that there were reasons why I start to do blogging, right? Actually it's been 4 years tho.. Since my time at the Matriculation Centre, IIUM (currently known as CF..whatevvs), on my 18th birthday, which was on the 29th January, I joined the Martial Arts Festival as Aikido Club representative (yeah.. i learned Aikido people!). It was hell of a birthday. The night on the 28th, me and my Aikido friends did some demonstrations to introduce our club in front of every student and officers, not to mention it was held at the field in front of brothers' hostels! (Yikes!) And the night on the 29th, I helped to organize Srikandi Nite as the Head of Publicity & Promotion (impressed? ;) ) with only 4 girls in my bureau.. It was a success i must say.. And at the end of that night, during the post-mortem, before the clock striked 12, everyone sang a birthday song for me.. (omg.. i terharu, u!) with a lil tears in my eyes, i really really really wish i could tell the whole world 'bout it.. Can't believe it took years for me to tell this story.. More to come, insyaAllah.. I also hope that as time passes by, it will remind me how life taught me to live, what have I gone thru and places I have been.. There. Those are my reasons.. Quite valid, doncha think? eheh.. OMG! Must stop babbling.. Aite guys.. Laterr~
