Sept 2013 - Feb 2014
In The Name of Allah The Most Gracious and The Most Mercifull
A story of life, hope and determination full with Hikmah and Nikmat from Him the Creator and the Sustainer.
It start at midnight 3 Aug 2013, having a chat with friends via whatsapp, already in wudu' waiting for the result. At that point of time it is either you will grad on time and do your Second Degree LLb. Hons UiTM on time or, you will grad on time but differ your LLb to the next intake or you will not grad on time and you will differ your LLb till you graduated.
There are lots of possibilities, but as a servant we can only hope and pray... As the result come out, it turn out that the result is not good... I still manage to get the CGPA 3,00 and above but, i need to take a supplementary exam for Family Law 2 (Non-Muslim). I just bow down, sujud to Him and be grateful and perform sujud syukur as that is the least that I can do. I just went off to sleep.
The next morning i just tell my Family and tell them that i need to re-seat a paper and they just simply say when and will I graduate on time... I know the news is a heart breaking news. Nevertheless I already submit my self to His will, Ive redha that it is my Fate and Destiny to re seat it. Thus I called the Assistant Registrar of Academic for the Law Faculty and ask him what are the procedures etc... Then i find out some others of my friend received the same fate as mine. We just share the information on the supp paper and start to study bit by bit to prepare for the next exam which is schedule on 26th August 2013. Syukur that I ve already booked my ticket on 20th August as my responsibility as the Student Representative Council needed me to be there for the preparation of the orientation week.
But nobody knows what it is in the future as it is the knowledge that is sealed from all... My President (YDP) of SRC/MPP called and ask me to send the CV/Resume for a camp, the prog is not under the sponsorship of UiTM it is others. He told me that there is another selection and if I passed I will go to Jakarta. Still we did not really hope for that.
On the 20th Aug, I was preparing to leave to the airport, and I got called from the Faculty, a new Deputy Dean of Student Affairs is already in the Office i just told him that today is my flight and I ll see him the next morning.
On the 21st August, while i have a meeting with the Deputy Dean of Student Affairs I got a called from the organiser of the said camp, and they asked me to go to the interview the following day. During the interview I dont even bother about others neither do I know bout the program nor prepare for the interview. What did I do i just read my notes on Family two and just wait for my turn and answer the question from the panelist. Honestly in my mind, today os 22nd August my paper is 26th August on 27 I need to be at Penang for the Orientation preparing Camp. The panelist told me that they will call tomorrow if Iam selected.
Day passed from 22nd to 23rd to 24th and 25th.. I got no call, so I assumed that I am not selected but in my mind is still the paper the next day... While I browse through the Internet to look for a flight ticket from KL-Penang on 27th I got a call from the panelist, they said that I'm selected and I need to report and checked in on 27th of Aug. Thank to Allah, I nearly bought the ticket to Penang at that moment. I told the panelist, thank you and please pray for my paper the following day, as all the panelist aware of my condition and i ve already told them during the interview. They wish me all the best.
26th of Aug. The day. I just seat for the exam... But at the beginning of it all the candidates for the FamLaw2 paper were shocked as the invigilators told us that there is an error they only prepare for one person to sit for the test. My goodness. at that moment they just went down and do some photocopying and allowed us in to sit the test. We manage to answer the quest and we did not even care for the rest of it. Now our mind is that what will we do for the next six month.
Some of us will actually find a firm to attach and etc. As for me at that moment I ll just prepare my self for the course on 27th August - 29th August for the preparation of Jakarta the Nusantara Leadership Camp under the Sekretariat Transformasi Serantau (STS) and with Collaboration of the Prime Minister Department (JPM). The course went very well and we finished up everything and we manage to engage with lots of people in Jakarta (I ll update another post, only for the NLC)
When everything done, on the 9th Sept we come back to Malaysia. Yet ive not prepared my self nor my resume to go and look for the firm as the others have already get their firms and have started working. I see my Deputy Dean of Research and Linkages and submit to her the questionnaire for the research that we have been working for. She offered me the job as her Research Assistant. on the Innkeepers Law. We never know what happen right :) Alhamdulillah ive accepted it and now I am officially the Research Assistant under her supervision. From the student affairs field now I ve shifted to the academic field. Honestly i gained lots of things in this course... Now I got a senior who will teach me thanks to Dr and thank to Brother Afiq ( Dr oldest and the longest serving RA) :)
To make things better, we even manage to engage a student from Faculty of Law University of Indonesia to join the research team on the Innkeepers :) So I got a partner from UI, Andhika to find a research material on the Innkeepers in Indonesia.
30st Sept 2013. The Result of the Supplementary Exam is released. Alhamdulillah I passed the Exam and I will be graduating my Bachelor of Legal Studies (Hons) with the CGPA of 3.13. Thanks to my family my best friends and others for their support :)
InshaAllah I ll be joining the Bachelor of Law, LLb (Hons) UiTM in March 2014. For the time being I will just do my job as the Research Assistant and gain as much as the knowledge that I can.
I always believe that. We may plan but His Planning is the ultimate and the best :)
Don't despair or loose hope, because we will never be alone. Allah will always be there for us, in the sorrow or in a grief. Give our full hope and dependency to Him and only Him.
I might be one semester late in term of getting my LLb. But I do believe that Allah have actually given me the best path of life. Just follow His way and InshaAllah Success is for all those who have faith.
Sept 2013 - Feb 2014, may Allah bless my journey in this research and may Allah ease all of us, me, abang afiq and Dr Asiyah and may her application for the Associate Professor be granted by the University. We may hope we may try our best but in the end Allah is the One Who have power over all.
