25 Ramadan 1429

Sedikit hari lagi, Ramadhan akan meninggalkan kita. 

Sedihnya.

Tapi, tertanya hati ini, sempurnakah ibadat Ramadhanku tahun ini?

Allah hu akhbar......

Jiwa yang lalai ini sering terlupa......

Saya agak sibuk dalam bulan September ni.

Begitu juga kawan-kawan di pejabat.

Yang seniors, sibuk dengan menyiapkan thesis masing-masing.

Yang juniors (kami ber3) sibuk dengan oncalls.

Nampak semuanya serabut...bersabut...dan menyabut.....wahahaha.....

Projek selepas balik dari cuti raya:

1) On callsx2 

2) Postcallsx2

3) Untuk menyiapkan research proposal, yang perlu dibentangkan 30hb Oktober.

4) Dan yang baru dapat tahu, ujian Bahasa Malaysia 22hb Oktober....!!!!!

Harap dapat bernafas dalam kesesakan tugasan di pejabat!

Akhir kata,

Selamat menyambut Aidilfitri.

Maaf Zahir Batin.

Semoga Syawal 1429 adalah bulan bahagia untuk semua....

Aminnnnn......

Laterlah......

19 Ramadhan 1429

Kemaskini jam 937pagi.

Anak-anak telah bangun. Deme dah melukis kad birthday.

Entry asal:

Haru betul.  Beriya-iyalah saya ini menaip entry darihal majlis berbuka puasa di kampung pada minggu lepas.  Tetapi disebabkan kesilapan teknikal, habis semua entry hilang.  Sabar sahajalah!  Untuk mengubat hati yang geram, biarlah saya tunjukkan dua gambar antara pokok-pokok  di sekeliling rumah saya ini.  Sabar, sabar.

Yang merah itu cili

Yang putih itu susu

Happy birthday to me

Semoga tenang selalu

Aminnnn............

Laterlah!  

Lagi...

Have this burning urge of writing on this wonderful wonderful morning.  So here is my second posting for today.

So much for trying to improve my BM writing skill.  But it was an attempt right?  I'll do it again, in the next and the next postings, InsyaAllah.

What I wanted to blog out is, the story behind the Sudirman's song that I've placed in my bunyi-bunyian box.  It was the first raya song I heard on the radio, for one raya season.  That was  back in 1993/94 during my matrix 1 (stop calculating my age hahha).  It was around early hours in the morning, about 1 or 2 o'clock.  Guess what happened?  I burst into tears.  Sloppy sobbing me.  I was only  in Kulim at that time.  The next incident, I played this song, during raya season in 1996/97, I was spending my summer in Hobart, Tasmania.  I didn't go back to Malaysia that summer holiday.  Again, I bursted into tears.  So, in short, I have a soft spot for this song.

As a conclusion, I prefer listening to the old raya songs sang by the original artistes.  I  have difficulties, accepting the new raya songs.  What about you?

English tak pandai, BM ntah ke mana? (Saya lah tu)

Duhhhh.......

17 Ramadhan 1429

Pada awal pagi 17 Ramadhan, bersamaan Nuzul Quran (cuti bagi negeri Kelantan, negeri-negeri lain saya tak pasti).  Bersempena dengan bulan yang mulia ini, banyak-banyaklah membaca ayat-ayat suci Al Quran (peringatan kepada diri sendiri juga).  Merata-rata tempat di sekitar bandar di negeri bulan terang ini, banyak kain rentang, tertulis dengan jelas dan nyata, "Banyakkanlah Bersedekah", "Banyakkanlah Membaca Al Quran" dan sebagainya.  Begitulah yang terpampang di sekeliling saya, moga-moga dengan peringatan itu, akan menggerakkan saya untuk melaksanakannya.

Pada pagi 17 Ramadhan ini juga, udara segar di persekitaran rumah.  Burung-burung berkicauan, kedengaran suara-suara binatang ternakan dari jauh dan dekat, memecah keheningan pagi.  Tertanya-tanya juga saya, bilakah saatnya, 'udara di sekeliling akan menjadi lebih segar, dan langit menjadi lebih cerah' selepas berlalunya 16 Ramadhan?

Lagi dua hari, saya akan berkurangan usia.  Selalunya orang mengatakan bertambah usia.  Dari segi angka, sememangnya akan meningkat nombornya.  Tapi kalau dari segi logik (buah fikiran saya sendiri, tanpa dipengaruhi oleh pendapat orang lain), sebenarnya usia kita semakin berkurang setiap tahun.  Ajal kita telah ditentukan sejak azali.  Jika tertulis, saat roh terpisah dari jasad, tidak dilewatkan walau sesaat pun.  Contohnya, menggunakan kiraan matematik, sudah tertulis ajal itu pada umur 50 tahun, dan umur ketika waktu ini adalah 34, jadi 50-34 ialah 16 tahun.  Sepanjang masa yang ada itu, sebaik-baiknya kita cuba perbaikkan amalan kita sebagai persediaan untuk kehidupan yang lebih kekal di akhirat sana.  Saya akui, tiada siapa yang tahu, bilakah Izrail akan menghampirinya, tapi yang penting adalah membuat persediaan.  Umpama menduduki peperiksaan tanpa membuat ulangkaji, pasti akan terkial-kial untuk menjawab, walaupun soalannya senang.

Saya sedang mengikuti kursus Bahasa Melayu di USM.  Ini adalah antara syarat untuk saya mengesahkan jawatan saya.  Memandangkan, sepanjang kelas Bahasa diadakan, saya hanya dapat hadir pada kelas sahaja,  kerana sibuk dengan tugas-tugas di pejabat.  Dengan menulis blog dalam bahasa Melayu 'standard', saya berharap saya dapat memperbaiki gaya penulisan dan penggunaan ayat serta nahu yang betul, sebagai persediaan untuk peperiksaan yang akan diadakan dalam bulan November atau Disember nanti.

Moga-moga Allah memberkati perjuangan kita ini.

Sekian untuk kali ini.
Wassalam.

1st Ramadhan 1429

Alhamdullillah. 

Ramadhan is back.  

I love this month of the year.

I am more relax and content when it comes to Ramadhan.  That is the beauty of this wonderful wonderful month.

I was born in Ramadhan. According to mama, my entrance into this temporary world is in the midst of azan Maghrib for iftar.

2nd of Ramadhan 1429, I'll turn 35 (according to Moslem calender if I'm not calculating wrongly).

This mean, my years of being alive is shorten for a year.

Wallahu'alam.

Have a great Ramadhan. It's a month of blessing.

Life doesn't have to be limited just because you're berpuasa.

Later lah

08/08

Some people believe that 8 is a lucky number.  Our house is Pt 1048 (coincident je ni).

This 8th month of 2008, has brought some pain into my heart and tears into my eyes.

Early 08/08

My little girl was admitted to the hospital.  Saddened by it, but I knew it will happen some day. She had cold then exacerbate the un-diagnosed asthma.  Or should be better called, 'hyperactive pulmonary disease' (because it may go away as the child gets taller).  She was breathing very hard for air, not improving despite 5 time nebulisers and one shot of steroid.  So, we ended up in the ward that night.  Kids will always be kids, she felt better in 24 hours, started running around the ward despite her wheezy chest and demanded to go home. And then, came the fella, who talked to me and explained bla bla this and that, but forgot to introduce himself.  Who the heck was he? MO? HO? Registrar?  I knew he wasn't the specialist.  This is one crap thing about the local medical education, they forgot to teach the students to introduce themselves to the patients.  Sucks!  I'll make sure I convey this message to all my students.  The system has to change.

To make matter worse, I was on call for Histopathology that week.  First day, my fellow senior covered for me.  The rest of the week, I determined to do the on calls.  Too bad, the first two days processing the specimen, I couldn't concentrate.  Felt so bad that I had to leave my little girl at the tadika, eventhough she was improving clinically.  Felt so bad, that I couldn't finish up reading the slides within that week.

2nd and  3rd week of 08/08

Had to attend intensive course of basic statistics, research methology and good clinical practice.  More stress into my tiny brain.  I haven't started anything for my dessertation/master thesis.  My supervisor left it to me to decide on whatever subject I wanted to do, though he did specify something of soft tissue tumour.  In my own version, he might as well said "Lu pikir la sendiriiiiii....."

Postcalls slides still not finished.

More stress!!

Weekend between the courses, I had to fly back to KL to settle unfinished family business.  Ran up and down (literally of course) the PNB building, went to 4 banks in a day.  Trying to sort out the heritage. Encountered some personal problems.  Boo Hoo..... 

(Update 1/9/2008- The previous entry has been deleted to maintain privacy.  I meant what I have written.  It's for me to keep.  My apologies)

4th week 08/08

On call again.

This time cytology.  Stuck with the specialist who is a 'chipsmore' of the department.  'Kejap ada, sokmo takde'. I'm still grasping the basic of diagnosing by cytology.  It's going to be a very long post-calls week.

And the kids are messing the house.  Again and again.

Only the power of blackmailing made them tidy up their toys' room.  'Tidy your toys or no visit to KB Mall or Tesco", is it fair?

I'm tired.

I'm really really tired.

Have a nice weekend.

Merdeka!

Most of all, Ramadhan al Mubarak!

Selamat melaksanakan ibadat berpuasa dan semoga Allah memberikan kekuatan kepada diri kita yang lemah ini.

Laterlah....

Duh!!!

Okay, yes, I admit, I watched the debate last night.

But it sucks, firstly, the new "advanced" astro channel still has the glitch when it comes to bad weather. Me and hubby have missed many words coming out from the debators. So much so for giving all astro viewers the golden new cards!

Secondly, it sucks, because what have been 'war-warkan', was not truely delivered out.

Topic of debate is 'the fuel price hike'.
But no no, it was a moment for a few personal attacks.
Sucks!

Thirdly, it sucks, because politicians, they can NEVER answered what was asked. Are they so dumb that they can't give a straight forward genuine answers OR they are just too smart that they can twist their words and answer the question indirectly. I guess they must have both criteria, that's why they are who they are.

I'm truly sick with all these.

Sucks!

Cerita about my garden lagi bagus...

Later lah....

Silap

Haiya...just realised, I've mistaken yesterday as 'Tuesday 15th' because it was 2nd day of my working week. So at 9pm last night, hubby watched Chuck on AXN. No debate last night. As for me, I was drained, talked about 2 hours in tutorial/small group discussion with the 2nd year undergrads during their practical/lab session. Adui...all my saliva dried up! But it made my day.

Today, yahuuuuu I finally finished all my on-call cases. Great! Now can play 'tuang-tuang' (or how do u spell it?) during office hours. Hahaha..iye la tu. Got to get a dissertation topic soon. Next month, presentation research proposal in the department.

Today, again, still under the weather, ache inside my head. Blocked nose. May be I should take the rest of the afternoon off. Balik tidor, hopefully can make things better.

****************************************************************************

Kids' talks on baby

Miss N shouted full heartedly in the car one day, "Mummy, bila mummy nak dapat baby??"
Master D immediate reply, "Mana boleh dapat baby, mummy tak belanak lagi!"
Mummy at that time was busy looking for a parking spot in KB Mall, and wondering, how come out of the blue Miss N is bising-bising for an adik.


One fine day, again same question from Miss N "Mummy, bila nak dapat baby?".
Mummy cheeky answer "Nanti mummy gi hospital ke supermarket ke, mummy beli baby, nak?"
Miss N "MANA ADA BABY JUAL KAT SUPERMARKET!!!"


Another fine night, during dinner.
Miss N gave an instruction "Mummy kena makan banyak-banyak, nanti perut besar, baru ada baby...."
Mummy answered "Ayah tu perut besar, sure ada baby"
Master D immediate reply "Ayah tu boy. Boy mana boleh belanak! Apa la mummy ni"


Don't know why miss N is obsessed of having a smaller figure than her at home. Maybe it's because, she got 3 new cousins this year, and that one day I made a mistake of saying......
(This was while we were back in Kuala Kangsar for a long weekend)
On the arrival day, holding the latest niece, born same date but 4 years later, as Miss N.

Mummy jokingly said" Kita bawak balik baby ke KB, nak?"( to see if she's jealous or not)
Miss N "Nakkkkkk........." with a really big smile.

Departure day

Miss N "Mummy, kenapa baby tak pack lagi beg? Mana botol susu dia? Mana nappy dia?"
Mummy " Eh, baby tak ikut la. Nanti siapa nak jaga dia?"
Miss N "Mummy dan Nabilah la jaga dia"
Mummy "Tak boleh. Kesian mama baby nanti"
Miss N already start crying out loud "Kata hari tu, nak bawak baby balik KB..."

Mummy...Alamak!!!!

To summarise:
1)The kids think 'makan banyak-banyak' will results in 'perut besar' equals to 'ada baby in the tummy', applies only to girls, not boys.

2) Don't talk no sense to kids, they are smarter than we think they are.
3) Master D and Miss N, cannot say 'R' collectly.
4)Miss N demands for a baby sister. Master D demands for a little brother.
5) Mummy is ignoring all these requests until some day.....wahahahaha...


Later lah....

It's only the 2nd day of working week

Today is Monday.
2nd working day for us in Kelantan.
But, in my mind, 2nd day working equals to Tuesday, not Monday.
It's hard to redo what has been imprinted in this brain since many many years, that first working day is Monday. Despite, having been here for almost 2 years, I still have difficulties adjusting my mind to it.
In contrast, my brain can easily accepted that Friday is the new weekend.
How our nerve cells can play with our mind, for leisure issue, can be easily installed and act upon. More serious matters, has to be rewrite over and over and over...

I'm bored.
Not that I don't have any work to do.
Of course I do.
But I'm just bored.
Perhaps, I'm getting a dose of the Monday blues.

What have been happening in the last few weeks?
The on-calls.
The post-calls.
Making the diagnoses.
Fulfilling the obligations of being a kakak sulung, making sure that my not-so-little-anymore brother is safely registered and sent off to Politeknik Dungun.
Completing the scholarship agreement with KPT.
Registering my soon-to-be-taller-than-me son into a private Islamic school.
Met the family solicitor regarding pesaka matters.
End of the day, my energy level has one bar left!

Mama and all-grown-up-youngest sis is coming this Thursday. And the house is still in a mess! Never mind lah, got another 1 1/2 day to clean up.
My little girl not feeling so well.
So is her ayah.
And her mummy, is under the weather too.

I can't be bothered reading up on what I've been told to read up on.
I can't be bothered searching for journal articles to start off my Master's dissertation.

It must be the cold virus that's doing this to me.
Yup, blame everything else but oneself.
Is that justice?
What ever lah....tonight, must watch Astro , at 9pm. Probably it is one of the moments that the whole nation has been waiting for, for a very long time.

Laterlah...
*sniff*

If and only if, after the debate, fuel price goes down, also with price of other barang-barang, kan best? I reckon, it still be at 'this pace and will continue at this pace, until middle of next 2 years' Duh!!

BeeZee

I have been busy. Same ooo same old excuse.

So much for being jumping over the moon for passing the first year exam (still I'm very bersyukur), the reality is, 2nd phase of Master of Pathology is hectic-er than the 1st phase. Of course, back then I can just run away from responsibilities, chose to deal only simple cases, left the big thing to the seniors. Now, no no. Big or small the specimens sent by the surgeons/physicians, I have to process, read them under the microscope, garu kepala when the features are not fimiliar, flip the 3kg textbooks (just for one organ system!) and feeling stupid when not able to answer simple undergraduate-questions from the guru-of-the-department. On top of that, tried very hard to answer as politely as possible to the MOs or HOs when they called asking what are the final diagnosis. They ask nicely, we answer nicely lah. Some hot-headed jack-ass will be rude up their small brain, asking for report to be done, itu jam, itu time. Hard cases take time to be solved. Duh....try staying in our department for a few months, then they know what I'm babbling about.

Ok lah, that is busy about work.

Outside work?

Occupied+obssessed with my backyard garden. Planted some corns,chillies, tomatoes and kailan (In keeping with the 'changing the lifestyle' campaign). Hopefully they turn out ok. So far, the lemongrass, kunyit, limau purut, bendi and onions are doing great. I experimented sowing coriander, cumin and fennel directly into the ground. None seems to be seedling. My hypothesis, the seeds went into the tummy of this one homeless burung puyuh that came around our garden a few times last week. Dunno. Maybe.(Such a cruel thing to accuse of a homeless bird-atleast I'm not accusing it sodomising my little garden!)

Frontyard, got a few plants given by aunty and uncles, blooming gracefully in the pots. Still need a few more pots to place those that are potless. Pot ke vase? Whatever lah. FIL gave us a bunch of pokok puding last time we when back. Got so excited, I planted them into the open ground immediately upon arrival from Kuala Kangsar. So much so, KB weather is so hot and dry, the pokok became dehydrated and almost lifeless. Felt stupid,(again!), I now put them under the porch, the stems are being rendam into water mixed with penggalak-akar. Only when the roots are out, I put them where I wanted. I hope it works.

Yesterday, my hubby bought some more fruit trees (jambu seedless, limau kasturi, limau bali, kelapa mawar/madu[the short stature coconut tree]) for our garden (thanks hunny for keeping the promise). I love it. Can't wait to plant them this evening. However, my fingers are not as green as my late-grandma. Anything she planted,sure to grow nicely. Me? Some times only lah. I got this weird habit, every time I was pregnant-I went crazy about gardening, and planting. Eh, no lah, I'm beta-HCG negative. No bun in the oven ya....


Oklah.

Later lah...

PS: I miss my tulips and daffodils that I planted while I was pregnant with Nabilah.

100%

Bestnya kalau gaji saya juga naik 100%.

Bestnya kalau gaji kakak cleaner yang muncul dalam Bersamamu TV3 tempoh hari juga naik 100%, dari RM450 ke RM900.

Bestnya kalau gaji semua orang ,kaki-dan-tangan awam atau swasta, semuanya naik 100%

Bestnya!

Bestnya!

Bestnya!

Itu kalau....


Tapi 'Saya terserah......'
Tidor lagi bagus....ZZzzzzzzz

Banyak keje ni...

Dua Kosong Kosong Lapan

11th June 2008, marked the date of our 8th wedding anniversary.

Despite the fuel hike, we still proceed with our plans for "the anniversary and post exam" weekend. Thursday evening, afterwork, off we left KB for Kuala Terengganu.

KT? Besssttt. A city near the Terengganu River and by the South China Sea. Many beautiful new buildings. Spacious roads. Many recreation areas. Relaxing with sound of the waves and smell of the sea breeze. No wonder, my papa wanted to come back to his birthplace, Terengganu Darul Iman.

Masjid Terapung di Seberang Takir.

A new building across the river opposite Pasar Kedai Payang. A pakcik jaga told me when I asked him, "Orhang kapung dokleh gi situ". I wonder, bangunang apa tu...lawo...

Masjid Kristal from the bridge

Masjid Kristal in Pulau WangMang

Replica of Masjid Aqsa in Taman Tamadun Islam

I think this is a replica of Blue Mosque

Bulatan Batu Bersurat

Some where mid town of Kuala Terengganu

Masjid Sultan Abidin also known as White Mosque, built between 179*-1808

Istana Maziah next door to the White Mosque

Kids' activities on Friday and Saturday (sunburnt anak aku!)

Dulu 2000 berdua, kini 2008 berempat.

Dulu 'sekilo', kini 'berkilo-kilo' (talking about the body weight)

Happy Anniversary

We don't see many of new awesome big big building in KB. State gov don't have money for luxuries, better make the kampung people more happy!

To those who have never placed their feet on Terengganu's soil, must go lah!

(So many big big buildings, wonder if all the office spaces are all occupied? Another wishful thinking while we were there, 'eh I tot the fuel price are cheaper here in KT....' Dream onnnn!!!! What la uu....)

Laterlah....

Goodbye

Our pet ToTo, his photo in this blog page, has left us last week. I was sad. I have paid a little attention to him because of my exam, but I still make sure I fed him and changed his water.

Farewell ToTo.

(Darwish asked me as buried ToTo in the backyard "Kenapa mummy tanam ToTo, dia bukan pokok?" How to answer lor.......)

Pink Monday

Sounds odd, but I haven't had a color-coded Mondays for a long while. I chose to title this entry pink Monday, obviously it is the color of the tudung I'm wearing today.

Not much excitement happened today. Another quiet day at the office (for now, not complaining).

I've started on-call as from today. This week, cytology, means I have to do fine needle aspiration of any lumps on the superficial parts of the patients. In layman's words, I just cucuk-cucuk the lump to get some cells out. 2 people were my victims today. I was out of practice, and sweated like a ..... during the procedure. As an excuse, I again blame the small-ness of the procedure room, that had made me perspired profusely ( a little exaggeration here).

********

Funny thing or not so funny things happened last week. They was funny because my-mom's son-in-law was trying to be Bob-the-builder and green-gardener. Fortunately, it did not happen on the same day though.

To start off with, this new house of ours, the so-called 'Villa Titanic Pecah'(have yet to take some photos and show it off, will do soon, insyaAllah), have this problem with water. The water tank is placed about 1 foot higher than the one in the phase 1 house. Kelantan Water has low pressure, so the was always problem of water shortage to both of the phase 2 houses. To solve this problem, we have to add another tank as an extra storage, and use an electric-pump to pump out water from new tank to the original tank. Initially, my mom's son law, insisted on doing all this by himself. But later, he changed his mind, and on Monday, called the pakcik plumber to set everything up.

300 gallon tank RM 180
electric pump RM280
connection pipes and etc RM120
service RM 100
Able to have a long shower, priceless.

RM100 went into the pakcik's pocket.

2 days later, one of the two taps at our kitchen sink rosak. My mom's son-in-law decided to fix the tap himself. Guess what happened? He broke the tap attachment of some-sort. So again, we have to call the pakcik plumber.

RM10 went into the pakcik's pocket.

Long weekend, on Saturday. We bought pokok longan and pokok limau purut. I planted the pokok limau. My mom's son-in-law, was excited about planting our new pokok longan. Cangkul and cangkul, he hit the main water pipe to the end-of-the road neighbour. Haiyaa...what an event to end the beautiful Saturday. Again call the pakcik plumber. Only after Maghrib, the pakcik arrived with his other 2 fellow relatives. With light from a torch, they managed to fix the leakage. Good thing that he was willing to come at that time of the day!

Up: My herbal garden; Below: The longan tree

RM10 went into the pakcik's pocket.( RM10 given to his assistant)

[RM14 the cost buying the pipe adapter (what ever)]

Moral of the story: Never underestimate a plumber. They are trained to fix the pipes and tap some RM from people like us. Without them, we might have water problem. Without us, they won't have things to fix. Life is balanced (sounds like Mufasa in Lion King ).

Have a wonderful day.

Later lah....

Up!!!

Assalamualaikum,

Finally, got some time for myself to update my blog. It has been a while. To those who visited and left some comments, many thanks. Sorry, I didn't get around answering them. To those, who wanted to berkenalan,if a saucer is too small, i 'll place a big tray.

Recalling April and May 2008.

Those 2 months were undecribe-able months for me. The pressure of exams, one after another. So, I sat for my finale exam for Master of Pathology Phase 1 between 15-24th May. Had it in the UM. I chose to stay over at the students' hostel with my other 13 classmates, and we had our meals in the Dewan Makan. It reminded me of zaman MRSM and matrix. Except for this time, most of us are mak-mak and bapak-bapak budak already! Retrospectively thinking, I behaved myself so well during those 2 weeks. Perhaps, the pressure of the exam made me do so, plus sharing the same room with my close buddy, ustaz's wifey! Fisrt and the rest of the nights there, I couldn't help, not because my huggy-bear not around, but no si kecil molek honey-bunny for me to peluk (nightly smelling of my armpit by Miss Nabilah is her effective ubat tidor!and with her doing that, if effective for me too!).

So exam days came and gone. Some of the girls cried their hearts out after diffcult papers. As for me and my roomate, we were considered as the atypical ones. The ones who were expressionless. Either the questions were difficult or easy, we didn't talk about it, and tried very very hard not to regret about what was written in the answer scripts. What was done was done. Tawakkal kepada Allah sahajalah.

Friday 23rd came. Everyone was restless, because that was the day when the decision who will be chosen for the oral examination i.e. those who needed extra points to pass. After Asar, around 530, received an sms from our lecturer. Most of the girls made a circle around me....My heart thumped so hard, my legs felt like jelly......1 then 2 then 3 girls started crying....and the winner were, 12 , who had straight pass. The other 2 had to go through viva....

1 of the selected for viva, missed the boat. And the 13 people sailed through into the 2nd phase of Master of Pathology....................

And

As

For

Me.....

I've passed.

Alhamdulillah.

I could see now the sky is blue, the grasses are green.....

Yes! I was UP for a while. Euphoric.

But now, I'm back on the ground.

Back to the reality that, from now on, it's growing UP time.

I start to feel the weight of responsibilites slowly being place on these 2 shoulders of mine.........

Wish me luck.

And Yes, another thing is UP, the fuel price! I'm not so UP with that!

What will follows? Food price UP. This and that UP.

But, gaji tak UP UP pun!!

I wonder, how does a cleaner who made RM450/month, cope with these UP trend-cost of living?

In this case, someone or sometwo or somethree or somemany has to step DOWN!

Sucks!

Later lah.....

Demam teruk!

Jap lagi nak exam theory ni.
Walaupun ni exam trial sebelum final, tapi bahang kehangatan exam ni tetap saya rasai.

Pagi tadi 3 jam exam practical.
Petang ni, 2 paper, multiple choice dan essay.

Esok, sama.

Dulu, lepas abis aje paper last SPM 1991, lompat2 dengan member, kata 'yahooo lepas ni takde exam dah!!'. Ye saya lupa dunia sekejap tika itu. Semenjak dari tahun 1992 hingga la ni, dalam hidup saya, ada ajeee la exam akademik. Yang saya sendiri cari pasal, mungkin.

Lepas abis master ni, demam exam pun kena tempias, sebab anak-anak dah mula masuk sekolah tinggi dari tadika; time dorang exam, mummy dorang pun demam exam sama gak......ini menurut kata lecturer saya hari tu. Mungkin ada betulnya.

Exam ooo exam....

Later lah...

Alasan Biasa: Busy.

Pejam celik pejam celik, dah sebulan dah saya duk di rumah sendiri. Cepat betul rasanya masa berlalu.

Rewind balik la apa yang berlaku sebulan yang lalu.

Pindah 29hb Februari 2008 bersamaan 22 Safar 1428. Tarikh keramat untuk tahun Masehi, sebab hanya setiap 4 tahun, baru akan disambut anniversary masuk rumah Pt 1048 ini. Tarikh keramat untuk bulan Islam sebab ianya ialah duapuluh dua haribulan dua (Safar bulan ke 2).

3 Mac, presentation seminar. Ala, budak-budak postgraduate, kena la sentiasa buat presentation kat seminar dengan kelas-mates. Takde mende pun, tapi tak tidor malam la buat slides power point. Ke ni saya dah cerita? Saje la rewind balik.

8 Mac, PRU ke 12. Undi saya? Rahsia. Tapi syiok la tengok bendera-bendera, poster-poster berkibaran kat bandaraya KB ni.

9 Mac, mata pedih, sebab tidor lewat, bangkit awal, semua pasal tunggu keputusan pilihanraya. Orang-orang di Kelantan, Terengganu dan Kedah, sure hari tu, gi kerja separuh sedar. Iye la, kami kat negeri-negeri ni, kerja hari Ahad.

Weekend 15hb, member baik kami di Sheffield, datang ziarah kami. Hubby, tak tidor hingga jam 3 pagi kerana kemaskan ruang tamu rumah (maklum la,lepas pindah tak sempat nak kemaskan semuanya, kerana sibuk dengan perkara-perkara di atas). 16hb, tengok Raja Lawak Astro finale. Dah tau siapa menang...."lu pikir la sendiri..." Darwish pun kenal semua finalists dalam tu. Nabil-ah pula marah bila dipanggil dia Nabil, katanya "Nabil tu yang dlm TV tu, dia NabiLAH!"

Minggu seterusnya, busy sebab nak exam end-posting. Ad-hoc mock practical exam hari Rabu 19hb tu. Gabra la, manyak mende tak cover lagi. Dan juga, sudden change of plan, end posting exam patutnya 3 April, ubah ke 27 Mac. Ouchhh!!

19hb, belasah je, jawab je apa yang rasa betul. Dapat la 8/14. Kira lulus la tu kan, kalau ikut percentage.

23-26hb, revision. Discuss banyak topik dari penyakit di lungs, payu dara, TB itu ini bla bla. Sampai saya demam 26hb tu. Overdose study. Maklum la, selama ni takde la study sebanyak tu. Capacity kepala over maximum kut, itu yang di-releasekan cytokine utk kasi demam. Suh bawak-bawak berehat. Itu theory saya yang tak berapa pandai ni.

27hb, exam day!!! 5minutes sebelum start exam, penjaga exam tu, bocorkan satu dari 3 soalan tu. Apa mondo nak dibaca dlm 5 minit tu. So, jadinya, soalan 1, ramai la boleh jawab. Soalan 2 dan 3, sebab tak tau camner , masing-masing terkial-kial nak jawab. Petangnya, practical. Saya dpt tau satu jawapan masa tengah exam tu. Inilah bila dah baik dengan orang kan?

Malam tu jugak, balik ke Kuala Kangsar. Cuti 4 hari sebab birthday Sultan Kelantan. Di KK, memang kerja saya, tidor, tidor tidor. Letih punya pasal.

1 April, back to work. Revision start. Malamnya isi form BE. Inilah 1st time dalam hidup isi form BE. Banyak la salah dan silapnya. Takpe la, sebab nak isi online nanti. Salah kat form pun takpe kut.

3hb, balik Kampung Laklok, di Besut. Tengok rumah papa yang dah hampir 2 bulan tak dijengok, hingga makcik pun perli,"ingatkan dah naik rumah baru, tak nak balik kampung dah" Terpaksa la explain dari A to Z.

6hb, dapat tau dari Head Depart. Microbiology, soalan exam final (bulan 5 ni) untuk Micro, tersangat la susahnya. Ouch ouch makin sakit kepala den!


Lepas ni saya lambat sket kut nak update blog ni, sampai abis exam.
Yang nak tengok grupe 'villa titanic pecah', nanti saya akan uploadkan gambar, insyaAllah.


Laterlah...
Doakan saya lulus Peperiksaan Ikhtisas I Sarjana Patologi pada 15-14 Mei ni. Aminnn.....

Letihnya.......

Alhamdulillah, proses pindah rumah sudah berjalan dengan lancar.
Rumah lama pun, sudah kami bersihkan.
Terasa sedih juga nak tinggalkan Taman Mesra, Pengkalan Chepa tu, sebabnya, kami baru mula nak kenal dan berbaik-baik dengan jiran. Jiran depan rumah kami dulu tu, adalah jiran yang paling close, sebab umur kami hampir sama baya, dan begitu juga anak-anak kami. Kanak-kanak riang ni, telah menubuhkan 'geng bas sekolah' versi mereka. Kebanyakan jiran-jiran yang lain adalah pakcik-makcik yang sudah pencen. Jadi, bila kami tinggalkan rumah untuk ke pejabat, hati tu takde la rasa risau sangat.

Tapi, segalanya sudah berubah sekarang.
New home, own home.
New aim, new azam.
Terasa amat sunyi kawasan rumah baru saya ni. Sebabnya, jalan depan rumah kami adalah jalan mati. End of the road, kawasan rumah orang.
Jiran rumah yang color coklat, dua-dua cikgu, tapi ada business; jadi tengah-tengah malam baru mereka balik dari kedai.
Jiran rumah yang color kuning, suami dia cikgu, wife doktor. Ada anak seorang, baya Nabilah mungkin.
Jiran yang hujung sikit, tapi tersorok, ustazah. Anak 7. Suami di Sabah.
Jiran rumah depan, yang color hijau, businessman yang duk di KL. Tapi beli rumah di KB sebab ada duit lebih (assuming saya hehe). Malam-malam ada pakcik jaga.

Rumah saya?
Sekarang ni saya ni namakan 'Villa Titanic Pecah'.
Tak sempat mengemas lagi.
Busy.

Khamis 28hb, kenduri solat hajat dan doa selamat serta bacaan yasin, pada malamnya.
Jumaat 29hb, pindah barang besar.
Sabtu 1hb, kemas rumah lama, dan pindahkan barang-barang kecik notnet...proses ni yang paling tension.
Ahad 2hb, hubby sorang je yang bereskan apa-apa yang belum beres sebab saya terpaksa pulun siapkan presentation saya.
Isnin 3hb, tido jam 3pagi, siapkan presentation. 9am baca slides on-call. 1030am present seminar. 1pm gi rumah lama, orang Astro datang nak pindahkan piring. 245pm berlari-lari ke department sebab ada lecture. 5pm balik, ambil anak-anak dan balik kampung di Pasir Puteh, ziarah tok sedara yang dah tenat. 9pm balik semula ke KB.

Mana la saya tak penat.
Ni tulis pun, sebab dah tak larat mengadap teropong mikroskop ni.

Orite
Back to work.

Arghhh...internet tak connect lagik kat rumah baru ku....

Nabilah demam plak hari....

Tired lah!

Menjawab soalan kakPB, yup, memang 'duk nenggung' (duk termenung) bila pikir nak pack barang2.

Letih?

Yup, had a full day today, on call and 2x 2hours lectures. My brain cells are exhausted.

Letih?

Yup, bila pikirkan barang-barang yang belum pack, yang kena angkut, yang kena sangkut bla bla bla....

Letih?

Ye, asyik tengok RM keluar macam air. Tapi takpe, ingat kata-kata papa, duit abis tapi bende nampak.

Letih?
Ye, nak plan pemindahan. Nak plan pre-removal solat hajat. Post-removal ex-home cleaning.

Letih?
Ya, assignment, ada satu lagi nak kena buat. Presentation hari Ahad ni. Presentation 3hb depan. 2 reports tak siap lagi.

Letih?
Kalau letih, pergilah berehat. Kan?

Excited?
Yessssssssss, lampu, kipas semua dah pasang.
Esok project pasang track langsir dan basuh rumah.
Lusa, orang pasang blinds janji nak datang.
Mungkinlusa boleh pasang langsir juga.


Macam ni kut ek, orang rasa bila nak masuk rumah sendiri? Excited campur pokai.....



Later lah...
Have a good weekend

Tu dia...eihhh....

Kan hari Ahad lepas saya membebel asecara halus kat mamat wiring ni (yang ni kira boss depa la).

Semalam, Isnin 18hb, cam tak percaya, depa kerja dari jam berapa tak tau, tapi bila saya gi check petang lepaih opis tu, masih lagi duk pasang bende. Downlight casings semua dah pasang tapi kipas satu pun tak lagi.

Kami pergi semula ke rumah tu, lepas Maghrib, sebab nak 'magga'kan grille sliding door rumah tu.
Oooiii terkejut kami.....lampu gantung kat porch dan side entrance dah siap pasang, 7 dari 8 kipas semua dah pasang kecuali yang nak diletak kat ruang tamu depan.

Fuh.....ini lah yang dikatakan, macam pahat dan penukul, sekali kena pahat, barulah tukul nak bergerak.

Mungkin juga, sebab kami ni, sabar, and takde nak marah-marah cam takde kepala; sebab tu kut depa pun takde la nak marah-marah buat kerja.

Saya sendiri semalam, personally cakap "Terima kasih sebab datang hari ni", kat mamat wiring tu. Dia sendiri tergelak, mungkin sebab tercucuk sembilu perli kut.

So?
Hari ni? Tak tau apa progress.
Tunggu dan lihat lepas waktu kerja nanti.

Esok atau lusa, orang pasang blinds plak nak datang.
InsyaAllah, hujung minggu, lepas pasang curtain rails, anak2 boleh main air, cuci rumah tu.
Lepas tu, slow-slow angkut masuk barang-barang kecil yang boleh muat kereta.


Later lah.....
