ausmat 21's farewell dinner 2010

Semalam was AWESOME! Actually, it was a collection of unexpected moods n feeling's. Yesterday's night was a Grand Dinner Ausmat 21 at Empire Hotel. The theme of the night was Glam Grammy Night (if i'm not mistaken la).

Why unexpected? Mula-mula tu macam takde sangat perasaan emosi sebab this is merely a dinner and i've been to quite a number of dinners. But then, being in my career especially at this particular institution, we are already accustomed to farewell. And being a normal lady, emotions do take part..hehe...Mana taknya, to one extend there are students who i've taught the whole 3 semesters i.e. 1 and 1/2 years. So, worth it la kot untuk aku sedih2 bila nak berpisah. Lagi-lagi lah if aku went well with the class that i taught.

And yes, the great part was last night's achievements. The event's committees had prepared some awards to be given out and of coz to their friends la. At the same time, ada jugaklah awards for their lecturers. Guess what? Aku dapatlah jugak antara awards yang dipertandingkan... heheh... Dahla theme Grammy, terasa akak macam artis... ^_^ Basically, i won two awards and a lucky draw. What an achievement! The categories that i won were Ms Popular & Best Dress. So, semalam kemenangan aku adalah kemenangan hatrik la... Tak menang tangan akak bawak balik trophy. Berbaloi akak beli baju on that Saturday...all the way from Ipoh...hahaha Ipoh mali ;D

Dan dinner tu semestinya ends with photography session. They were all having fun as they've finished what they were working their ass off for the whole 3 sems. Saying goodbye to each other and hopefully will be flying together next Feb. But before that, results will be coming out this December.

All in all, everybody were enjoying the night and Ausmat 21 Forever~

bila gembira, ingat juga pada duka

It's already mid November kan? Cepatnya masa berlalu. Rasanya baru semalam students aku fly to Oz n Nz. Tapi sebenarnya, junior diorang yang baru jek habiskan xm SACE before flying. For me, ada bagus and ada yang tak bagus when time flies so fast without notice. Yang bagusnya, we succeed in facing those days. Yang tak bagusnya pulak, rasa pendek jek umur ni semakin hari. Yes, we are getting older and therefore, ajal maut is just around the corner. And to be frank, I don't like when the time flies so fast. Tapi macam mana pun, ajal maut di tangan Allah. Kita hanya mampu bersedia bila2 sahaja Allah mahu menjemput kita.

Dan bila menyentuh bab-bab kematian dan kehidupan ni, ada sesuatu yang menganggu aku. Baru-baru ni hajat aku tercapai. Aku nye masters' application dan diterima. Aku rasa happy and excited to get back to school, tapi at the same time aku mesti teringatkan arwah bibi. Dulu masa aku nak apply, aku dengan dia la yang sibuk2 memikirkan segala-galanya. We always ym-ing each other till 4am in the morning. We discussed a lot together. She's the one with same 'kepala' with me. Both of us had never have had "mental block" when it comes to chit-chatting. That was unforgettable! So, setiap kali aku kena berfikir pasal masters' nye stuffs, wajib aku akan teringat kat dia. Lagi2 sekarang nih...sebabnya 19th ni ialah birthday dia and bulan december ni genap setahun arwah meninggal dunia.

Al-Fatihah my very dear friend. Semoga Allah menempatkan mu di tempat orang-orang beriman. Amin..

Thank you Allah ^_^

oh my... i am blessed by Him these few weeks and months. betullah pepatah melayu: sesuatu yang berlaku itu ada hikmahnya. mungkin, selama ni aku agak dalam kesusahan...so, i guess it's worth it now... ntahlah, tapi saya sangat bahagia. i can't describe it but i am really thankful to Allah swt. Hanya kepada DIA yang layak menerima kesyukuran aku ni. kerana restu dan izinNYA lah aku gembira seadanya. Thanx Allah. I owe you... ^_*

Siapa kata anak En ahmad tak multi-tasking?

Hoorraayy!! I'm totally DONE with minggu yang azab last week. Alhamdulillah it all went well smoothly without any major disaster. Aku berjaya met the due dates for both important things. The first one was on monday where i have to key-in the seniors' trial marks in the system. Basically the act of key'ing'-in the marks was not a problem at all but to finish and finalize the markings were the hardest ever... ;(( In fact, to make it more and more and more harder was when I had two codes of subjects to look after : ESLS and also Malay Studies. Totally two different languages but the ESSAYS are always killing me. In ESLS, there were 2 parts of written tasks - an argumentative essay and a letter (not to forget 2 parts of Listening Comprehension). Where else, in Malay Studies there were 3 written tasks with different topics/issues and depending on the questions chosen - there were different format as well. And of course, there were listening and reading comprehension. So, it was a success and i DID it! ;) Good Job Leogurl!

The second one was then on last friday. We the lecturers need to fill in Pink & Blue Forms to be sent to SACE Australia. These two forms are really needed to be filled in with extra and 101% cautious. These forms too are the students' future lucks. One of the forms is to be filled in with their School Assessments or generally known as Internal Marks or to make it more simple, their carried marks. So, these marks will be added with their marks from the real SACE Exam which they are going to be seated beginning this November 1st. And the other form is their predicted marks. It is very important for us to meet this due date because the forms will be made photocopied for documenting purposes and it need to be AT the Australia by this friday the 29th. And again, i've made it smoothly unlike last year where it was quite a disaster process.

In the mean time that I was supposed to do and get settled with all these marking and filling in forms, I was contacted by the Main Campus Corporate Office. They would like me to attend an audition for the Istiadat Konvokesyen's emcee post as well as the voice-over post. I did go to the audition and it was exciting! Emcee tu macam biasa je la kan cuma this kind of emcee is more formal and well-managed. As for the voice-over, this is truly exciting. Rasa cam nak ketawa and golek2 kat lantai bila aku kena baca this one particular individual's profile. Mana tak nye, I was already in the English mode. So, basically my slang, accent and style were already tuned accordingly. Tiba-tiba tengah read out loud tu (and of coz they were recording my voice), aku kena sebut "nasi berlauk and nasi kerabu hitam".. Makanya, bunyi benda dua alah tu sudah berbunyi macam minah saleh pelat bercakap bahasa melayu. Aku rasa sangat murtad bahasa and sapa-sapa cam yang tak faham tu mesti kata aku ni perasan bagus cakap english. hehehe... Kelakar pun ada gak. Nak kata suara aku ni sodap, takde la pun..Kalo nyanyi sumbang gak. Tapi tu la...semenjak kerja kat sini, post emcee dah macam melekat dengan aku. Apa jek events kat sini, mesti aku jadi emcee. Rasanya, staffs kat sini mesti dah bosan kot dengar suara aku and tengok muka. Tapi best jege dapat peluang macam ni. Aku dapat kerja ngan pelbagai orang from different departments. And of coz, I gained a lot of experiences throughout my involvements. So far, aku dah dapat untuk jadi pengacara majlis kepada 2 events yang paling penting kat sini yang melibatkan kedua-dua VC. It was indeed a precious experience. But, I have a confession. I was damn horrible in being an informal emcee. Sangat buroks...

p/s: Tu lah, sapa kata aku tak multi-tasking? Terlebih ada lah. On the week itself, I had involved in students's event and was a jury for the night. Siang lak, class full 24hrs credit. Sapa kata anak En Ahmad tidak multi-tasking? (",)

i'm gonna back to school! (",)

alhamdulillah...Allah has helped me a lot...really thanking him for the smooth journey he had prepared for me so far. I never could imagine if i were to stand and face the vice versa journey. had been though, but never want to face it again.

i guess i'm back to school. i am so excited! coz i'm sort of missing the school days especially the uni days..i miss the theatrical works with frens...not sleeping the whole week in making our program a success...then, missing the nights in colleges as well..never sleep early n squatting nearly the whole semester....had been in 'suka duka' together...had my era of scooter n my lovely bee-kelisa car...oh my.....missing that sooo much!

but one thing that i'm afraid of...juggling both work n study at the same time. i always claim myself not to be a good multi-tasking person but all this while, i am multi-tasking things...a lot!

hahaha...i am so in denials. ^_^

still remember when i had the interview for this application. i was the first person to be called- lucky number 1 i guess...huhuhu... Initially, i thought there was like more than 1 interviewer. but then, it was only 1 person- a woman indeed. i could say that my interview session was not really an interview session but rather a sharing discussion slot between educaters (cheewaahh). ahahhaa... so damn poyo okay!! i can't believe myself in that position. but honestly, it was indeed a mature q&a session between me and the interviewer. now i can see the relevancies of having experiences in the field we are in to our judgement/maturity/openess and etc. for me, i should thank my current position coz without 'who i am now', i might not be able to handle myself well in the interview. you would somehow rather assuming things/conditions than knowing it truthfully. ok, lemme give an example. let say that u r going for a job interview. u would be asked questions like: "what if your students did this n that...and how would you tackle the situation?" So, for the new-comers, they would certainly assume that they could do this n that and etc. but for the person who had the experiences in handling the situation would definitely answer the question more practical and sounds believing. but then, it's ok. small matter lah tu! after all, siapa-siapa yang ada experiences akan memulakan hidup dia tanpa sekelumit experiences pun. that is why we said that experiences are a good reality teacher.

so insyaallah, my school life begins in december. wish me lucks and lucks...

Al-Fatihah

People all around the world are waiting for this once-in-a-life-time date -> 10/10/10. Yup! We have triple 10s. In Malaysia itself, there will be many couples who intended to get married at this particular date. So the-very expected. Even for the very first Malaysian so-called astronaut (a visitor indeed) will be getting married on the 10th mainly because he was up there on this particular date before. Hhhmmm...okla...ada la jugak significant dia. Maybe for other believes/religions, the date means something..maybe according to their horoscopes and universe calculation etc. we never know..


but for me personally. back 6 years ago, my dad had gone forever. on the 10/10/04 and coincidently at 10.10pm. Al-Fatihah....


p/s: al-fatihah to my sis, my uncle and my very best friend. may their soul rest in peace. amin.

loooove hating people

i am starting to loooove hating people. i don't know why but people around me are simultaneously annoying me: directly and/or indirectly. i am not pretty sure why am i so freaking easily irritated by all of them... from the closest till the one who aren't. hopefully, no one messes up with me at this particular moment. or else, something baaaad, really baaad will happen. if you think you are IN the category, then tell it STRAIGHT to your face.

p/s: btw, this is not because of PMS. mind that!

my bff - khom's engagement

hey there! hari tu i did mention that i'll post some pics of our very own made and decorated mini pelamin and hantarans. here they are...! (",)




oh ya... dan ini adalah gambar orang yang bertunang iteww.... my bff

am always happy! sadness..u go away...

hey ya'll... what a week after a long break of hari raya... right away from the break, students are having their trials since monday till the next wednesday. pity them though..definitely their breaks were used to study and i think they should. they still have a long journey and after all, i couldn't see how are they going to enjoy Hari Raya to the max. I am not sure whether I am already aging or insensible, but the best celebration and moment to enjoy is only effective on the night before raya, the first 2 or 3 days of raya..and of course on any open day's events organized by relatives and friends. but still, i have a student who did not completed his assignment on the reason of 'hari raya'....hahaha...maybe sebab dia budak sarawak kot. takpelah, itu antara dia dan lecturer dia.

even though exam week is supposed to be the most awaited week for us the lecturers...but it does not work on me.. had few things to settle...then had an interview yesterday...plus with cik khom's engagement tomorrow...kelam kabut semua. but then, everything has back to normal coz i have settled in completing the interview. gosshhh...i was so damn relieved! As some poeple who knows my 'weird' advantage which is i don't feel nervous when it comes to an interview...or back then in campus life, i am completely in control with any class presentations. bagi aku ini adalah satu keadaan di mana aku boleh klasifikasikan sebagai 'kecacatan'. most of the people would feel damn nervous. i have had a friend who nearly "committed suicide" (it is a metaphor by the way) when she had to do her presentation in one of the classes. the thing that had made her to do so was the class's lecturer who would never make any student finishes their slides. let say u have 10 slides to be presented in 7 mins. in his class, u would be very proud and lucky if you could present 4 slides. in some cases, you hanya akan sempat present 1 slide of the content jek. he would ask questions by questions until time's up! sebab tu la kawan aku ni sampai tak tidur malam and nak bunuh diri lompat hostel 4 tingkat. hehehe... macam aku ni plak, memanglah jarang giler feel nervous but that doesn't mean when i had presentations, i did excellently...biasa2 aje...cuma kadang2 teringin rasa berdebar...haha...leogurl cacat! lolss.. by the way, the interview went well i guess. never had fun in any other interviews before, it was such a motivating session i had.

apart from that, my best buddy is going to get engaged tomorrow. we had did our own pelamin from scratch. it was fun in planning the looks, the materials and definitely the colour! not to forget, so many ammendments too...hahhaa...and of coz the hantarans will be self-made and decorated..you know us...^_* furthermore, am really looking forward to decaorate the hantarans tonight..it's a fresh flowers decoration...! i'll post some pics in the next entry ya!?

with that, till entry meets an entry! (",)
