UKM...

  At the end... It's been 3 months since my first arrival in Malaysia, time flies so fast, but it means I've been really enjoying my time here, right? I hope so, HAHA. In sha Allah, I'll be here until the end of February, yes, it's less than 2 months..., I need to capture more memories here. For some reason, the people here really made saying goodbye getting harder and harder. I hope we won't be strangers even after returning to our countries, please, I'm begging. I've been living in my second home (re: UKM) for 3 months. Do I enjoy staying here? No doubt, I'll definitely say yes, living around with such nice and chill friends here really made my life way easier. Until this day, I can't imagine when the day we leave this home finally comes, I don't know how much tears will be shed at that time. At this point, can we just live together forever? but, life must go on, right? People come and go, memories made stories to tell. Hope in another chapter ...

Welcome!

Hello! Let's start this blog by introducing myself, as the proverb goes,  "Tak Kenal Maka Tak Sayang" , which means  "Not Knowing is Hence, Not Loving" . So, let's get to know each other! Let me start first, okay! My full name is Muhammad Ihsanul Syawal, I have lots of nicknames, but most of the people call me "Ihsan". Actually, no one called me Ihsan before the university era, so it sounds a bit weird for me, HAHA. Anyway, I like that nickname tho! feels like my OG name. This is Ihsan! Next! If people ask about my hobby, I don't know what I should say..., because I love doing lots of things. I love sports, reading, scrolling social media, hanging out, talking to friends, and many more. Also, I like Manchester United, yes, United. I don't know why, because love doesn't need any reason, right? HAHA. I was born in Jakarta, 18th of November 2004. Both of my parents come from Jakarta, but now we're living in Tangerang with 2 of my sibli...

How's the Feeling?

  Being an exchange student at the Faculty of Economics and Management (FEP), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), has been an amazing experience. From the first day, I felt welcomed by the friendly students and helpful lecturers. The campus itself is beautiful, and there’s always something exciting happening, whether it’s an event, a study group, or just students hanging out. It didn’t take long for me to feel at home, even though I’m far from my own country. What I love most about studying at FEP is how much I’ve learned, not just in class but also outside of it. The lectures are interesting, and the professors make the topics easy to understand. Plus, working on group projects with students from different cultures has been so fun and eye-opening. We laugh a lot, share ideas, and sometimes even teach each other new words in our own languages. It’s like being part of a big, diverse family. The best part of this whole experience is how happy and grateful I feel to be here. UKM has...

My Hobbies at UKM

 In my spare time as an exchange student at UKM, I try to make the most of every moment, balancing fun, relaxation, and personal growth. One of my favorite ways to unwind is through sports. Whether it’s playing basketball at the campus courts or joining a friendly futsal match with friends, I love how sports bring people together. It’s a great way to stay active and de-stress after a long day of classes while building connections with people from different backgrounds. Plus, it’s always fun to laugh over some epic fails during games! When I’m not running around on the court, you’ll probably find me scrolling through social media. Let’s be real—keeping up with Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat is part of life now! I enjoy seeing what my friends back home are up to and sharing my own little adventures here in Malaysia. Social media also helps me discover cool spots to visit around campus and beyond, like hidden cafés or weekend events. But I also make time to disconnect and focus on mo...
