TOEFL

        On 27th june, it was a day where most of us freeked out and awaits since january..we sat for TOEFL in Megan Avenue, KL..we did prepared since january however sometimes i feel it's not adequate.Maybe to a person like me who dont really master in English felt so.On that particular day, we had to wake up damn early.I managed to be awake by 3 a.m. then we took off to KL not later than 5 a.m.As it is Ramadhan we 'sahur' in the bus.It was cool and kind of sacrifice I could see here as no one had problem eating rice in the bus. We arrived at out destination quite early and as I stepped down from the bus I felt butterflies in my stomach ei.Kind of nervous but I tried to control so that it won't ruined my test.As you go nervous it might bother your thinking and it may ruins everything.So,we had some chit chat while waiting and 'selfie-ying' at the waiting hall.The test started at 9 a.m and ended not later than 1 p.m.During the test, I tried my best to give out the best I could. I can say that I was satisfied but not on every section.So, praise to Allah we went through the test smoothly.Right after that, we had a photo session with our beloved lecturer and she's just like our mom.She's the one who sacrificed so much teaching us till we get how it should be yet took care of us, encouraged us and our ear listening to every problems we had.hahaha..She's young but age doesn't define the maturity on being a mother ha..she is one of our mommies here and we love every of our mommies.So, that's all about toefl I guess.Although we are done with it but there's no relief as the results will be out in a week.That's really freeking me out. InshaAllah everything will be fine and hopping that I will not have to repeat on this test.
