I'm still in the middle of the exam. I told my father and others I will only come back three days before raya. Yup, I will still have my exam three days before Raya. If I'm the only student* who take will sit for this prelim exam that time, I will ask the invigilator to play lagu Raya during the exam (It will be 5 hours exam, should get some entertainment and hari raya mood. Ha3x). However, the urge feeling of going back to kampung and iftar with my father and my brother ( The two most eligible bachelors) made me to have a quick decision. After I had finished my first paper I went back without much thinking. However, being a student in economics I will definitely cannot run away from calculating the cost and the benefit. So, this is the cost incurred for me to go back just for two days;
The costs
1. Petrol RM50 x 2 = RM100
2. Toll Tickets RM 51.70 x 2 = RM103.40
3. Fine for Speeding RM300 (get 50% discount) = RM150
4. Traveling time cost 3 1/2 hours x 2 = 7 hours ( opportunity cost of studying)
the benefit part,
1. See my father's and brother's smiles and had iftar with them = PRICELESS
So, does it worth for me going back to kampung in the middle of my exam?
* I'm the only student who sat for the prelim exam for Mcroeconomics last semester

Assalamua'laikum, Dear Azuriy Humaira
If you find the benefit is more than the cost, JUST DO IT, coz you already thought about it and should have analyzed all the risks. We need to be dare enough to face any unexpected consequences, then only we could move.
To me, whenever we visit our family, we always win.
This month is the best time for you to make a lot of doas for your exam.
All the best! and keep smiling Sis.

Sis,
Dok mengira kos tu sebab rasa bersalah tak study bila balik kampung. Hehehe....
Dear Sis,
Please remember one thing. You will get back what you give. If you make others happy, Allah will make you happy too.
May Allah bless us in this holly month of Ramadhan.
Jazakallah khair
