Internet o Internet

Sedih sedih hari ni datang kerja dengan berkobar-kobarnya nak siap kan apa yang patut. Dalam hati siap boleh cakap tu, wah hari ni sampai awal boleh lah pulun apa yang patut sebelum masuk meeting and ngadap Dato', tapi jeng jeng jeng..... on aje computer, internet down, air-con pun not functioning. Hu hu hu hu sedih sedih, kurang sikit semangat.

La ni pun access internet in my block BELUM pulih sepenuhnya, taiko-taiko ICT still hard at work troubleshooting the problem. Ntah bila la nak pulih ni.... Ni pun duk merempat dekat Block C tumpang guna computer kawan nak check e-mail. Sambil-sambil tu jengok blog kejap, hei, hei, hei hei......siap boleh buat posting tu......

Ok gotta go now, my friend is breathing down my neck! Tuan empunya PC dah balik kat bilik dia, urgently wanting to use the PC, cos her boss is breathing down her neck about a report that she's supposed to submit before lunch. Okay, okay, nak berenti dah ni, last sentence, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE LOAN OF THE COMPUTER!!!!

Gong Xi Fa Cai

To those celebrating Chinese New Year, be it those in the cyberworld or those that I know personally in and around me, I wish them SELAMAT TAHUN BARU CINA. Some says that I was born in the year of the iron rat and some says in the year of the ox. I'm no expert on this subject but just for the fun of it I read up on this in some of the books written on the subject of the Chinese horoscopes, just for the fun of it mind you. I don't really believe in it, but just for my own personal amusement. I don't think there's harm in it.....unless others find some bone of contention about my view on this, then I beg to differ and hope no hard feelings will come out of this.

Well, on the subject of whether I'm a rat or an ox, I'm still vague about it. But just to please myself and to suit what had been written in the books, I sometimes tend to go with my whims and fancies at the moment of my reading, especially if what is written in the book is favourable to me. Talk about perasan, this is a major dose of perasan.....big time!!!!

"GONG XI FA CAI / HAPPY NEW YEAR / SELAMAT TAHUN BARU CINA" TO EACH AND EVERYONE I KNOW

Hari Yang Tak Menentu

Nape hari ni jadi begini.... Nape aku begini. Terok sangat ke aku ni.... Allah hanya pada mu tempat ku mengadu bagi la aku panduan dan hidayat mu untuk menghadapi semua ini.

Aku mohon pada Mu Ya Allah, bagi la aku kekuatan untuk menghadapai apa jua pun.

Merapu

Mencuri masa untuk menaip di sini. These past few days things are a bit quiet on the homefront and at work. A nice break after all the craziness of November, December and early part of January. But over the weekend, Sunday to be precise, I had a wonderful time catching up with my old varsity mate in Putrajaya. It has been a while since we both parted ways to follow our own individual path, and we have not seen each other for about 13 years! Give or take one or two years. If I can rightly recollect, the last that we met was in Kelantan, when she was serving there with Suraya, another of our varsity mate. Back then she had those big rimmed spectacles on, and to think of it so did I. Well that was the height of fashion then! I used to get teased a lot about those big rimmed spectacles I used to wear, in the name of fashion mind you, by my nieces and nephews. The comments when they saw my photos would be, "amboi besaqnya spec!" followed by "nape dalam semua gambar, cik ni asyik tersengih aje, nampak gigi tu...." with everyone breaking into laughter. Tak pe lah, tu kira ok lagi tu, tapi bila dia orang mula cakap nape dulu cik kurus tapi sekarang dah debab, perit jugak rasanya, geram pun ada, tapi kenyataan, tak boleh la nak cakap apa...... except laugh with them..... hu hu hu hu
And Myza jangan marah, story kat sini pasal spec besar tu, and if I'm not mistaken, I also used to tease you a lot by mis-pronouncing your name. Mintak maaf banyak-banyak ye. Saja suka nyakat Myza. Now look at you, a wife, mother and I bet a damn (sorry for the language) good teacher to boot. But one thing is definite, weight wise you have not change much, masih kecik molek macam dulu..... apa rahsia tu, share la sikit..... tengah duk cuba kurang kan berat ni, tapi nampak gaya duk macam tu jugak, debab.... pagi tadi pun boss yang baru balik lepas cuti sebulan pun boleh cakap."eh, nape you nampak gemok sekarang?" Caught me of guard there, sampai no sassy remarks to utter, terdiam beb! Tapi kena ngaku la memang sekarang badan dah makin montel... Apa tak nya asyik makan aje tak kira masa. Makan, tidur, excercise kureng, so badan tu macam kena pump - pump la. Boleh dikatakan my second job sekarang ni is menternak lemak... hu hu hu hu. Bagi la petua Myza, dapat badan macam Myza kan bagus, kecik comel gitu.
Tambah in my line of job sekarang ni, bab - bab makan ni is part and parcel of it. Apa taknya bila ada courses to run, makan sampai 5 kali sehari tu tak mustahil. Tu tak termasuk lagi dengan event-event lain yang kena attend, penutup dia mesti ada makan-makan. And my resolution to stay away from the food will usually crumble and fly right out of the dining hall, selalunya it started with tak pe lah just nak rasa aje, after the first bite, a little devil will whisper in my ear, tak pe makan aje, esok boleh diet balik. Hah macam la I can resist the food the next day! Tapi selalunya mesti makan punya, guarantee!!!!! What with nampak kekawan makan sedap aje. Ha ha ha ha ha that is me, nak kurus tapi no will power to exercise and control makan. Sampai bila - bila pun nampaknya chek ni akan terus menternak lemak la gayanya...... hu hu hu

Aftermaths

The past two three days ni asyik rasa letih aje.... agaknya kesan byk sangat bergerak to make a success of the event. Buat kerja pun everything in slow - mo aje hei hei hei.....penagan buat keje on overdrive.... hu hu hu hu hu

Tapi I appreciate the experience, because since joining the institute I have gained a lot more knowledge in certain areas and things that I'm sure I would not have got it from my old job... the good and the bad of it. But on reflection it does make my life so much richer. Syukur ke hadrat Allah......

Sigh of Relief

Lega n lega tak tau macam mana nak cakap how lega I feel that the first big event lined-up for 2009 berjalan dengan lancarnya. Even though ada a slight glitch in the proceeding but it does not really mar the event much. Everyone was happy with it right from the PM, Foreign Minister, Secretary - General of MFA, his Deputies and my own Executive Chairman. Today masa post - mortem for the event, the Chairperson for the working committee, Head of Academic, Training & Research also said that we deserve the pat on the back for successfully pulling it off. Syukur ke hadrat Allah kerana memakburkan pemintaan supaya semua yang dirancang berjalan dengan lancar. Kelegaan itu lebih terasa bila everything that was assigned to me to do, to ensure the success of the event, I managed to do it to the satisfaction of everyone high up in the hierachy. Lega sesangat, if tak mesti dah kena tembak tadi masa post - mortem.......

And to answer Freg's question, "D" day tu is just a term I coined about the event sebab bila dah kena push to the limit and what with how things are on the homefront, terasa sangat la macam 'Doom's Day' gitu, umpamanya la because if things doesn't go smoothly as planned, heads are bound to roll, and among those rolling on the floor, would be my head.... I love my head too much to put it on the chopping block, so to say......hei hei hei hei

"D" Day and Down Memory Lane

One more day to 'D' day - hu hu hu hu hu...... and two days already into the school year for 2009. I still can remember how busy it was on the first day of school, tambah lagi if you are the class teacher, mana nak collect school fees and duit buku and bermacam - macam duit lagi yang perlu di collect, masa ni la haru jadinya if all parents datang dengan duit besar, payahnya nak bagi balik duit baki tu.... at the end of the day panic semacam when the money in hand tak tally with the amount yang sepatutnya di collect, and that also after dikira berulang -ulang kali mind you.... and sometimes kena dig deep into my own pocket just to balance it out.... those were the days. Now I don't have to collect fees but still busy at the start of the new year, tapi with a different kind of busy...

'D' Day tinggal one more day and I feel like a top spinning at full speed trying to finish everything in time for the unveiling of the campus. Now makan pun tak sempat, asyik duk tekejar sana and tekejar sini....After all this madness is over I want to apply for cuti.... nak rest and Dato', please, please, please approve my application for cuti.... pretty please ye.......

2009

Hello to all the inhabitants of the cyberworld.....

Nothing much to write just to wish SALAM MAAL HIJRAH AND HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009.... Hopefully the new year will bring with it more joy and happiness. Hopefully whatever we set out to do with our life in the new year akan diberkati oleh Allah.....

Still busy and because of this, I feel guilty as hell for not being able to pay more attention to my aging parents. Feel like such an ungrateful anak and selfish to boot....that's how I feel and I think my family also agrees with my view about myself...

2009, come mid - January, I'll be a year older compared to last year but perangai duk macam tu lagi, hai bila la nak berubah ni.......hu hu hu hu

I wish I could go back in time and undo all the mistakes yang telah dibuat.....macam la boleh...

2009/1430 - I welcome you and I hope that there won't be any major upheavel waiting for me..........
