Facts about me: too many names

 29 nov 2020. 

Today my fellow brought my friends and i to some groceries shopping in Gambang. I have to admit that the town is kind of gloomy since it is surrounded by trees and jungles. There are a lot of buildings though but not as high as in my home sweet home, Klang. And most of the buildings are empty. I guess because half of the citizens here work in Selangor though. Hm. 

Because of the pandemic Covid19, the university only allow 3 students to go out, so there went Zulaikha my roomate, Zulaikha my new roomate, and I. We sent our matric numbers and some biodata to the upper management and we were finally at the grocery store. There are only 19 students who chose to stay at the campus until the end of semester 2 next year, which is going to be conducted online. So 16 students who remained at the campus, texted us about the stuffs they wanted to buy. 

Everyone wrote their desires in the whatsapp group i made before. But there were 2 students texted me personally for they were too shy to ask ridiculous things i guess.  😝

Adriana who studies Medic, she asked me to buy some lotion. While Afif, who took Engineering, asked for powdered milk which was totally insane MANA ADA ORG JUAL SUSU SERBUK UNLESS DKT SUPERMARKET BESAR2 ADA LA OI 😩 

So as fast as lightning, my friends and i grabbed all the stuffs just like on the list. And everything does exist in that supermarket, except for the powdered milk. But Afif said that boxed milk also will do and to the paying counter we head to. 



Ok done with the story. Let's get into the real topic, i have so much nicknames like TOO MANY. I don't know how come such a simple name Raihana can grow even more 😂 but every name shows how close my friends and i are, and their levels tho in my life hehe. And only some particular persons will know some particular names which makes sense for me to feel weird if someone who has nothing to do with me out of sudden calls me using the name that only some people of my life know about it, if you get what i mean?? 🤔🤔🤔 

So here i present to you, my namessss (disclaimer: ya know what, no one's ever is going to read my blog. So please let me stick this memories just as reference for myself in the future. Thank you)


1. Raihana - everyone. Legit everyone. Afizul, Hiwi, Izyan, Afifah, Zulaikha, Irshad 😂

Me,

 30th. November 2024. Hi it's me again after so long, quite feeling sandwiched in wanting to write this entry in Malay, for the other day was like a message from God that my mom quoted a piece of Malay poem to me on the day of my convocation and I was so drown into finding its meaning and yep the meaning did find and found me. It somehow slapped me right on my face bdjsjsjd but oh well I still want to write here in English just so anyone can read in case I wouldn't be able to read and even remember the bittersweet memoir of my life. :) The poem sounds like this; Rumah kecil tiangnya seribu, rumah besar tiangnya satu.  When you do your searchings you might find out various of interpretations but for me, the line somehow tells that when I was little I have my mom as my pillar, and she alone can be my thousand pillars. But now when I'm getting older and wiser, occupied with hell tons of responsibilities, I'm gonna go thru everything alone. And me alone is as weak as one pi...

Give it a chance

 31st May 2026, It's supposedly cuti seminggu sebab Rayaji and somewhat bday Agong kot (Agong pls dun b offended kalau salah), tapi I had to balik ke UIA awal sebab gelabah lagi 2 minggu nak final. Hi there, it's me again, Raihana. To be honest I am really having my butt burning right now sebab masa gonna be sangat suntuk for me to finish the damn dissertation, design presentation and ethics. But tonite I think I'm just gonna sketch je kot. EEEE I cannot susun words rite now or even to think about it. But,  Give it a chance, Raihana, how cikgu2 sekolah kau dulu bg kau chance utk kau pidato masa sekolah rendah, then jadi best debater during sekolah menengah, lepast kau lead everything during your university... semua waktu yang kau rasa prime and rindu sangat tu, all started by giving chances to yourself from the first place..  Now, aku tahu you might feel sangat tak fit in taking tis masters. And malaikat jadi saksi how hard the journey for you so far.. Everyday kau pun da...

About marriage..

It seems so sudden but I really2 in need to write my heart out, things been so janggal and I just dun feel comfortable, thinking about, I dunno - I'm currently 23 and as we all know tis is the weirdest era of transition where it cud be both - single & married. I received lots of questions that now quiet common for tis age; " when will u get married? ", " are u currently seeing somebody? ", " are we getting to eat nasi minyak sooner? ". I'm not sure whether to worry if I dun have anyone, or if I do, have someone! Another common question is " at what age are u planning to settle things up? " - to be honest, I dunno. I just.. don't know; am I the one who's supposed to go to my future husband's house and ask for his hand in marriage? - ofc not!. So, it's not my decision of dat " when ", it shud be the concern of my future husband.  But when? I think I'm just gonna write what'll work for me just so lat...

Lesson learned: Never ask Umi berapa banyak kunyit nak letak..

9th March 2025, it's Rachel's birthday today, member tengah syok tidur aku pulerk tengah bersantai lepas balun Koko krunch, and masak lauk sahur. Macam awkward to write after so long I didn't write here, but I think I need a comeback, Raihana has been missing for so so long 😵‍💫! But to tell I've been living my life quite fullest la juga; I learned, I worked, I cooked, I explored places with my family and dated most of my closest friends from university since I graduated. It's already puasa day 8 dah,, and proudly nak flex aku kot yang masak buka skang, bkan mak aku HAHAHAHAH 😎 nasib je la tak snap hari2 sebab tahu2 dah licin but I cooked sizzling, macaroni cheese, sardin kuah tomato cili api, spaghetti masak lemak cili apii kahkah  Currently it's 1:39 am and I just cooked some lauk bersahur. I think the recipe is quite simple that I want to keep it for my husband later hahahaha.  Udang Kertas Goreng Kunyit Sorry la ni snap masa berasap-asap dalam kuali hshshs...

Aku dan seorang, a poem

Bagai rumah usang Seorang lelaki tua Duduk di hujung ruang Matanya ada laut Jauh kulayar perasaanya  Rentasan tidak berpenghujung Madahnya saja puisi Yang mengisi dan bererti Didahinya tercoret Garisan sejarah  Rupa usia yang dijajah Kepalanya gedung ilmu Pandangannya menyapa aku Tentang alasan Susahnya membaca buku -R, 22; siapa aku?
