New year, new semester.. new resolution?

Wish you all and dear blog a happy new year.. may next year will be more posting and prosperous!

Lunch with the Dragons

Yesterday, I had lunch with my two beautiful friends. The dragons. Haha, we born in the same year and also my little Alice Cullen - she is also a dragon.. golden dragon.

I always enjoy the get-together-activity with this two lovely ladies. We share all the tears and joy being a mum. Talked about our work, life and kids. Changing updates about movies, books and tv series. Love every moment with them. Like Az said, we vow to meet more often next year.

Both this ladies are a creative and a good writer. Their blogs are inspiring. And they both are born in December. Hmmm.. a good coincidence kah?

Yeah, I am looking forward for more gathering next year! Happy New Year!

5 Years

 

5 years ago..

I still remember, the contraction started that night. Mild. I can still sleep with it. So, nope not tonight.

Early in the morning, the contraction became stronger. This must be it. Told hubby, need to go to the hospital. It was approximately 9 am. On the way to the hospital at Likas, asked hubby to drop me at the Gergasi to buy some magazines. Still can tahan the sakit..

Luckily the traffic was not that heavy. Reached as-em-cee around 15 minutes to 10. Went to register while hubby was parking the car. The contraction interval was around 10 minutes apart. Trying to bear with the pain. Couldn't sit down. Filled up the form while standing. Asked hubby to call our gyne, found out he just left the building 5 minutes ago.

Right away, I was admitted and checked-up. Dilation was already 5 cm. Contraction became stronger. My gyne arrived about 15 minutes after that. He was been in the hospital since 5 am for another patient. Checked me up then he broke the water sag. Suddenly the contraction was unbearable. I asked the nurse to change the mat cause it's so wet. During the changing, she saw something. Meconium. She saw the meconium-stained in the amniotic fluid. Quickly, the nurse-in-charge called my gnye. Dr Gyne came and explained to hubby and me that we need to act fast because the baby is under pressure. We decided to wait for another 15 minutes and after some thorough discussion with hubby, we agreed to do c-section.

 

Will continue soon… :D 

Next Step

Last Monday, I received this letter calling for interview for SL. It was a mixture of happy and anxious. Happy because after 10 years of teaching, at last I will be evaluated for the promotion. Anxious because I don't like interview session!

Yes, 10 years for a promotion is a very very long time. Most of my friends are either furthering their studies or joining another line of career.There are several steps before you can apply for SL. It is not time-based promotion like teacher. Although you are eligible to apply (according to the marks you get from the CVOnline), but you still need to 1)confirmed and 2) pass the PTK. Besides, you also need to have a list of publications and social works too. I am really bad at documentation. So, there it goes some of my marks for social works. I can't remember many of the social works that I get involve with. One of my colleague said we need to score at least 80 marks for 3 years in a row for the SKT in order for you to be considered for the promotion. But if you get your DR, the promo is sort of automatic.

Gambar Hiasan.. tiada kena mengena ;p

Why don't just go for phd then apply the post, then? Wohoo.. it's the money-matters, of course. I hope I can get the rise before 'jumping' to the phd thingy. I don't think I can afford to fly back and forth to KL with my current salary. Ikat perut lah tu..
The interview will be on next Thursday. So wish me luck! The candidates from our department applying for the same promotion is in quite a long list. And I really hope I am lucky. The competition will be tough.

***Update***

I called the person in charge.. the interview is postponed. The shocking news is.. there will be a quota! Only 1/3 will be promoted. Oh no! Suddenly my vision becomes blurred. Turn out, the light at the end of the tunnel is only a fata morgana.

Mood : Sad :(

New Look

It's hard to find the EOL in my to-do list. The task is keep piling up, one after another. Macamlah org lain tidak mengalami perkara yg sama. Though, I still awake in this wee hour to do some makeover on my blog. Lately, you have been forgotten. I am sorry. Blame it on my business and also the FB. I have done marking the exam papers for the full time student, but yet to finish the PLUMS'. Bila tu due date dia? Tomorrow I need to attend the PLUMS FYP presentation some more.

Talking about the new look.. which one is better? This fancy kaleidoscope,



or this simple woody?



I prefer to have simple background. But I also love the fancy one! So, which one do you think look good on me (the blog, of course!)?

Tragedi Bot Karam Pulau Banggi, Kudat

Bila : 27 November 2009, lebih kurang 5.30 pm (sejam selepas berlepas dr Kudat)

Di mana : Perairan Kudat

Siapa : Kawan adik saya

Sedih. Walaupun Misako tidak mengenali mereka yang terlibat dalam tragedi itu, tapi Misako rasa amat sedih. Setiap hari Misako mengikuti perkembangan tragedi tersebut melalui twitter one of the victims brother (#botkaram). Bertambah sayu bila membaca post kawan-kawan mereka di FB (Nadya Yahya).

Sahabat adik saya tu adalah pasangan suami isteri.. Nadya dan Eroy. Mereka baru berkahwin bulan Mei lepas. Apa yang membuatkan saya lebih terasa apabila mendengar kisah si suami yang terjun ke laut setelah berjaya diselamatkan apabila mengetahui isterinya masih lagi hilang di laut. Bagai post terakhir Nadya di FB nya.. "cinta mati .. harus dijaga sampai mati". Itukah harga sebuah cinta suci? Apapun keputusan Eroy ketika itu, janganlah kita persoalkan, pasti ada jawapannya tersendiri yang kini tidak akan terjawab. Kedua-dua mereka terkorban bersama-sama ibu dan adik Nadya (Raihana - pelajar SST, UMS). Begitu juga beberapa orang mangsa yang lain yang juga keluarga Nadya.

Kepada keluarga Nadya, Eroy dan semua yang terkorban, tabahkan hati. Pastinya berat mata kita melihat, berat lagi bahu yang memikul. Nadya, walaupun kita tidak sempat dan tidak punya peluang berkenalan, Misako panjatkan doa agar kalian ditempatkan di kalangan orang-orang yang beriman.

Al-Fatihah.

**updates

Az send me a link to Norif's blog. I cried when I read the post about the tragedy. Semoga mereka yang terkorban damai di sana..

Linux Training

We are attending Linux training for the whole week. Although I have learned linux before, but this one is more interesting. The instructor is lively and fun. Very informative and really a good trainer. I have enjoyed the training so much. At least, it has flushed away my disappointment of something recently.

Look at the bright side, just finish all my task and after that I really need to focus on my 'leave'.

And tomorrow we are gonna meet my old friend to celebrate her daughter's birthday. Yeay!

Still here?

What am I doing here? After 10 years, I don't think there is any achievement that I can be proud of. I am talking about my career as a teacher. I do love teaching, but research? Hmm.. I'm not sure.

Waving

Yeaaayyyy! I got my GoogleWave preview account. Thanks to Niezam Sandakan. I think we are the first 100 in Malaysia getting the account (correct me if I'm wrong).

What's GoogleWave?

From wikipedia :

Google Wave is "a personal communication and collaboration tool" announced by Google at the Google I/O conference on May 27, 2009.^[1][2] It is a web-based service, computing platform, and communications protocol designed to merge e-mail, instant messaging, wikis, and social networking.^[3] It has a strongcollaborative and real-time^[4] focus supported by extensions that can provide, for example, spelling/grammar checking, automated translation among 40 languages,^[2]

and numerous other extensions.^[4] Initially released only to developers, a "preview release" of Google Wave was extended to nearly 1 million users beginning September 30, 2009, with the initial 100,000 users each allowed to invite up to twenty additional users.

Diary

WIFE'S DIARY

Sunday night - I thought he was acting weird.
We had made plans to meet

at a cafe to have some coffee. I was shopping with my friends all day

long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but

he made no comment.

Conversation wasn't flowing so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so

we could talk, he agreed but his mind was far away. I asked him what

was wrong - he said, 'Nothing.' I asked him if it was my fault that he

was upset. He said it had nothing to do with me and not to worry.

On the way home I told him that I loved him, he simply smiled and kept

driving. I can't explain his behavior; I don't know why he didn't say,

'I love u, too.'

When we got home I felt as if I had lost him, as if he wanted nothing to

do with me anymore. He just sat there and watched TV; he seemed distant

and absent.


Finally I decided to go to bed. About 10 minutes later he came to bed.

I decided that I could not take it anymore, so I decided to confront him

with the situation but he had fallen asleep. I started crying and cried

until I too fell asleep. I don't know what to do.

I'm almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else.

My life is a disaster.




HUSBAND's DIARY

Today MANCHESTER UNITED lost again!!!!!

Picnic!

Lama betul sudah ndak upload ni blog.. Jangan marah ya blog.. Kemarin kami pigi piknik d tempat biasa. Dulu-duuuulu, kami suka pigi piknik di beach 3 Tanjung Aru, sambil barbeque. Tapi kemarin, kami beli nasi kuning jak di Kak Tini.. Wah mahal sunggoh nasi nya sudah.. RM2.70 sebungkus. Bukan dulu2 cuma RM1.50 ka?

7.30 am. Kami sampai di pantai, ramai jg orang piknik, tapi mostly di beach 2. Port kami nampaknya aman damai, tidak begitu crowded. Alimbu' (teduh) lagi tu
7.45 am. Aktiviti memasang khemah dimulakan, punggah barang etc. Lepas tu semua p mandi laut, except Misako n Danial.

Dalam jam 11 am, kami balik. Seronok sungguh tinguk diorang mandi laut. Dengan cuaca yg redup dan angin laut yg sejuk, perfect!

Amat bersyukur kita dikurniakan negara yang aman dan pemandangan yang cantik mcm di KK. Bah, mari kita p berkelah!

Tamu Gadang

Tamu Gadang datang lagi. Maknanya, ada orang yang akan konvo. Ada yang tanya, perlukah datang konvo? Bagi Misako.. perlu! (Kalau budget, masa mengizinkan lah) First of all, utk appreciate diri sendiri. Iyalah dah bertahun-tahun struggle menghadiri kuliah, assignments yg tak berpenghujung dan exam yg menggegarkan jantung. Ini lah masanya utk mengatakan pada diri sendiri, you've done it! Semua titik peluh, penat lelah itu akhirnya terbalas juga.

Itu reason yang pertama, sebab yg kedua kenapa perlu datang konvo adalah kerana utk org2 yang tersayang. Sama ada ibubapa, suami atau isteri dan saudara mara yang telah berbakti dan berkorban utk membolehkan kita melanjutkan pelajaran. Merekalah sebenarnya tulang belakang kita selama kita belajar. Walaupun kebanyakan pelajar dibiayai oleh PTPTN, tapi tanpa doa restu orang2 tersayang, kita tidak mungkin akan dapat melalui kehidupan uni yang pastinya mencabar minda dan fizikal.

Reason yang ketiga.. mo jumpa kawan2 dan pensyarah. Tapi jarang juga pelajar yg pergi jumpa pensyarah. Boleh dibilang dengan jari. Bukannya lupa, tapi sebok. (kunun). Maklumlah family baru first time datang KK, berlambak acara sedang menanti. Kundasang dan pulau2 tu jadi acara wajib sementara datang ke Sabah. Bukan senang mo angkut satu family datang Sabah. Jadi, itulah sebabnya jarang sangat student datang jengok pensyarah di Sekolah.

Ndak apalah, lagipun ini hari besar para pelajar yg begraduasi. Para pensyarah tumpang gembira. Untuk ke sekian tahun, Alhamdulillah, berjaya juga menghasilkan pelajar-pelajar graduan. Kami sentiasa doakan agar kamu semua berjaya dalam bidang masing2. Jadi anak yang baik dan ummah yang berguna.

Kalau kita ndak sempat bertemu, Misako ucapkan tahniah kepada para graduan yang akan konvo Sabtu ini. Tahniah juga buat your parents and your family.

thanks for dropping by: saufi (chip), BX, Siew Hooi, etc

Retreat @ Karambunai

For months, we were preparing for the MQA documents and last weekend was the climax. Went to Nexus Karambunai to have the retreat to discuss and refine the MQA thingy. Retreat means more work, stay up late for me; holiday & pool for kiddos and hubby.

It went well I guess. The room was great, the food were marvelous, the services was ok. Except for the 'waiting for the buggy'. The retreat it self was considered successful although so many things need to be put properly in place after the discussion. That brings to more work after retreat.. haiya..

After we went home, I got a head ache and sleep all the afternoon. Most probable the change in my eating and due to the aircond in the meeting room. Sapa suruh ndak bawa jaket.. Balik rumah terus demam. Thanks to hubby, he helped me with the back & foot massage and I felt great in the next morning. Thanks Lai!

I am not good at updating the pics. But hopefully I'll have time to post the pics here.

Back

I am back! To work of course. Just finished my class. The first class ever after this Raya mode.

I woke up early for my sahur this morning. I really miss the Ramadhan. I enjoy waking up early preparing for sahur, rushing home for berbuka and counting days to Aidilfitri. Now the Raya is at its 8th day, the festive mood is fading. There will be more open house during weekends, but I doubt I can make it coz we are too busy preparing for the MQA document (once again!).

This Friday, we will be off to Karambunai for (another) MQA retreat. Kerja sampai tengah malam lah tu. But for my kiddos, it means .. pool time! Alamat 'kunta' lah lagi diorang ni. Need to find where I put the sun block. Every time I need it, I always fail to find it. At the end I will buy a new one. Any recommendation for the best sunblock available in KK?

Ok, now I really need to start marking the mid-exam papers before another task start piling up. Alright blog.. don't miss me. I will sure be around.

Salam Aidilfitri!

Eid Mubarak 2009

Selamat Hari Raya semua! Every year we spent our Raya at Sandakan. After the Aidilfitri prayer we have our annual gathering and took some family photo after the 'bermaaf-maafan' session. It was interesting, fun and memorable moment as usual.

First Raya we went to my BIL's new house for kenduri then went to my Aki's at Kg. Sentosa Jaya, Kinabatangan. This ias the only time where we can meet the cousins, aunts, uncles and Aki. The kiddos enjoy the visit too, especially when they meet their young uncles and aunts, well I am the eldest grandchild. So, you can imagine, my youngest cousin is 6 months.

Ok, gtg now. We are going to my uncle's house. Eid Mubarak friends!

With family and hubby

Tinggal 9

Setiap tahun, Ramadhan sentiasa dinanti2kan, bukan sahaja oleh keluarga Misako, tetapi seluruh umat Islam jg. Dalam bulan Ramadhan ini, kebanyakan schedule Misako akan berubah. Of course lah balik awal dari ofis utk menyediakan juadah bersungkai. Walaupun rumah Misako ngam2 10km dr ofis, (ndak begitu jauh) tapi utk sampai ke rumah adalah jg ambil masa dalam sejam. Apa tidaknya, kena meredah jalan yang sesak untuk mengambil the boys di KF. Belum cerita jalan balik ke area UMS dan IP. Fuh, jam gila. Janganlah berangan-angan keluar tepat2 jam 4.15, pasti sampai di rumah pukul 5.30 lebih.

Sampai2 jak di rumah, first thing kena keluarkan lauk yang keras mcm batu dari fridge. Then, baru masak nasi. Kalau mau senang cerita, biasanya Misako masak mee goreng jak. Lagipun, hubby dan anak2 suka makan mee. Biasanya, Misako ndak masak byk2. Kalau sempat, singgah lah mana kedai beli lauk extra. Untuk sahur pulak, Misako kena siapkan bahan2 sebelum tidur. Bangun awal sket sekitar 3.30am utk masak sebelum kejutkan Hubby dan Nurul jam 4.00.

Kalau hari kerja, Misako akan stay up siapkan persediaan anak2 dan hubby selepas sahur. Kemudian terus p kerja paginya. Tapi kalau weekends, Misako akan tidur balik. Claim masa tidur yang ndak cukup sewaktu weekdays.

Terawih? Masa ada Nurul sahaja dulu, Misako dan Hubby selalu p terawih. Di masjid UMS lah, atau di masjid bandaraya. Kemudian bila Danish dan Danial join the group, Misako susah sikit mo pigi terawih. Pernah jg dicuba, tapi hasilnya tidak berapa berjaya. Maklumlah, Danish tu mana mau duduk diam. So, Hubby saja yang pergi. Tahun ni, pun kami buat terawih di rumah saja. Itu pun, the boys sibuk jadi ultraman dan raksasa time kami terawih. Terpaksa Hubby kasi naik volume bila baca surah. :D

Cuti Raya Misako tahun ni awal sikit.. mo packing dan sedia awal2 supaya balik kg nanti ndak payah kelang kabut. Harap2 bila balik kg nanti ada yg boleh tolong tengok2kan budak2. Mo merasa pulak terawih di sdk.

Raya tahun ni, ramai yg absent. Ipar duai semua beraya di kampung masing2. MIL pulak beraya di Penang, dengan kakak ipar yg baru seminggu bersalin. Si senih beraya di kampung hubbynya. Tp si Ida ngan Misako tetap beraya di Sdk.. maklumlah dua2 hubby org sdk.

Oklah, cukup buat seketika mengubat rindu sang blog. Nanti Misako sambung lagi. Tuuu kerja2 pasal MQA memanggil-manggil minta disiap kan. Aduuh.. bila lah mo siap ni. Akhir kata, Selamat Hari Raya. Nanti Misako letak kad raya yer..

Tinggal 9 hari lagi kita berpuasa. Rasa sayu pulak hati meninggalkan Ramadhan. Ndak tau lagi kalau sempat merasa Ramadhan akan datang.

Tawaran Hebat!

First day of Ramadhan.. we woke up early for sahur. It was a struggle to wake up Nurul. Even during the sahur, she pull her longest face. Hopefully will be better tomorrow.

So, don't forget to catch this special bonus. For this month only!


If you want to listen to the Al-Quran recite, Hubby found this one interesting website from Jakim. Way to go...

Last but not least, heard this from HotFM by Prof Izzi..
"Jika kamu menyambut Ramadhan dengan hati yg gembira, maka diharamkan ke atas kamu, api neraka". (I think it is from a hadith)

Marilah kita bersama2 memeriah bulan Ramadhan kali ini. Salam Ramadhan, Selamat Berpuasa!

The most sensible advise about H1N1!

How to prevent H1N1 - An email forward is reproduced below:

"Friends,
Thanks to media hype about H1N1, several people who trust me have either approached or called me to advise. The hype in media about the utility of face masks and N95 respirators as a tool for general protection against H1N1 can't be deplored enough. Yesterday, a friend who listened wanted me to write down briefly what I advised so that he could tell others in similar words. Hence this short email to friends whom I have advised recently (and others whom I haven't yet). Please realize that this is not an official advice, especially the one about face masks or N95.

Most N95 respirators are designed to filter 95% particulates of 0.3µ, while the size of H1N1 virus is about 0.1µ. Hence, dependence on N95 to protect against H1N1 is like protecting against rain with an umbrella made of mosquito net.

Tamiflu does not kill but prevents H1N1 from further proliferation till the virus limits itself in about 1-2 weeks (its natural cycle). H1N1, like other Influenza A viruses, only infects the upper respiratory tract and proliferates (only) there. The only portals of entry are the nostrils and mouth/ throat. In a global epidemic of this nature, it's almost impossible not coming into contact with H1N1 in spite of all precautions. Contact with H1N1 is not so much of a problem as proliferation is.

While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of H1N1infection, in order to prevent proliferation, aggravation of symptoms and development of secondary infections, some very simple steps - not fully highlighted in most official communications - can be practiced (instead of focusing on how to stock N95 or Tamiflu):

1. Frequent hand-washing (well highlighted in all official communications).

2. "Hands-off-the- face" approach. Resist all temptations to touch any part of face (unless you want to eat or bathe).

3. Gargle twice a day with warm salt water (use Listerine if you don't trust salt). H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial infection in the throat/ nasal cavity to proliferate and show characteristic symptoms. Simple gargling prevents proliferation. In a way, gargling with salt water has the same effect on a healthy individual that Tamiflu has on an infected one. Don't underestimate this simple, inexpensive and powerful preventative method.

4. Similar to 3 above, clean your nostrils at least once every day with warm salt water. Not everybody may be good at Jala Neti or Sutra Neti (very good Yoga asanas to clean nasal cavities), but blowing the nose hard once a day and swabbing both nostrils with cotton buds dipped in warm salt water is very effective in bringing down viral population.

5. Boost your natural immunity with foods that are rich in Vitamin C (Amla and other citrus fruits). If you have to supplement with Vitamin C tablets, make sure that it also has Zinc to boost absorption.

6. Drink as much of warm liquids as you can. Drinking warm liquids has the same effect as gargling, but in the reverse direction. They wash off proliferating viruses from the throat into the stomach where they cannot survive, proliferate or do any harm.

7. All these are simple ways to prevent, within means of most households, and certainly much less painful than to wait in long queues outside public hospitals.

Happy breathing!

Best regards.

Senyap

Wow.. it has been a while since the last time I jot down in this blog. Jangan ambek hati ya blog. Macam busy giler misako lately. Macam lah org lain pun ndak busy. But seriously, there are so so many things come into my desk at the same time. My proposal has no progress since the last time I did the introduction. Now I need to collect all the 'evidence' for the DS52 process. At the same time we are working on the Website Competition thingy. Papers? Journals? Don't ask me. This is the worse year... So many thing to do, but so little time (is it?). MQA! Please go away, today is not your turn. Will see you MQA docs tomorrow. Whoops..got meeting lah pulak bisuk.

Bah, ada lagi masa mo mencoret di sini. Ok lah.. oklah.. got to go. Hope I can clear up all the To Do list the soonest possible.

Pics.. sana sini

For several entries, there are no pic to accompany them. So, I lump all the pics here lah.

Can't remember which Sunday, we went to Grace Point Food Court for a brunch.

Hubby tekun menghadap menunya.

Yummy!

Sedap Danish?

Alamak, kuih lagi besar dr Danial!

Datuk Musa Aman is Org Sungai?

We went back to Sandakan last month to attend the Bangsa Sungai ceremony to crown Datuk Musa Aman as the Tagajoh Gayoh - Pemimpin Agung. Where he got the Sungai blood? From his grandmother, at his father's side. His grandmother, nenek Mega, was from Kinabatangan.

My dad is one of the organizing committee, therefore, we also got involve in the ceremony preparation. Most of the information can be found at this link Persatuan Bangsa Sungai.

Some pics from the ceremony: (will be posted later)

Sad

Just heard the news. My friend had delivered a baby boy last month. However, the baby has passed away this morning due to internal complication from the Prune Belly Syndrome. It is sad, but Allah has plans for all of us. Takziah, Pipah.. Be strong.

Selsema oh.. Selsema

Nak dijadikan cerita.. kemarin (semalam) selepas menghantar Nurul ke sekolah, PA Dekan telah menelefon memberitahu bawa Tuan Dekan telah meninggalkan pejabat dengan tergesa2 setelah mendapat panggilan telefon daripada Guru Besar SK Tebs. Kononnya, ada pelajar suspected H1N1 di sekolah. Sejurus mendengar berita itu, saya pun dengan segera mencapai kunci kereta dan terus ke sekolah SK Tebs. Bila sampai di sana, suasana mcm aman damai saja.. seolah2 tiada apa2 yg berlaku. Tapi, saya terkedu seketika apabila melihat beberapa orang pekerja yg saya suspect Pegawai Kesihatan memakai topeng muka. Beberapa ibu bapa juga kelihatan mundar mandir di kantin sekolah. Setelah bertanya dgn pegawai tadi, mereka memberitahu ada suspected H1N1 dan sedang membuat pemeriksaan suhu dari bilik ke bilik (darjah). Saya pun jadi tak senang duduk. Salah seorang yg suspected tu satu kelas dengan Nurul, what more she is one of her close friend. Lega sungguh bila Nurul tak terlibat dan semua yang demam diarahkan ke hospital dengan segera. Hari ini bila hantar Nurul ke sekolah seperti biasa, beberapa org guru sedang mengedarkan surat cuti kepada para ibu bapa. Sekolah ditutup untuk seminggu bagi mengurangkan potensi penularan wabak Selsema Babi.

Kes kedua, ada seorang pelajar di sekolah saya juga suspected. Bila beberapa phone call dibuat, sahlah beliau telah dijangkiti dan diarahkan untuk dikuarantin. Tapi maybe because pelajar ini sangat komited dengan pelajarannya, dia turun juga untuk menghadiri kuliah seperti biasa. Terpaksalah pulak satu kelas dihantar ke Hospital Luyang utk pengesanan jangkitan selsema tu. Keputusannya? Tak lah diketahui setakat ini. Rasanya student tu sudah dikuarantin dan diharapkan tiadalah kes baru lagi. Seraaammm...

Cuti seminggu? Boleh lah berFB lama2 di rumah. hahaha.. Belum cuti lagi..tapi harap2 tidak lah ia menular teruk.

Merah atau Kuning?

Kuning!!! For sure. Agak sedih apabila melihat lebih daripada setengah hadirin yang menonton perlawanan (pertama) Malaysia vs MU, berwarna MERAH. Walau macamana kuat sekali pun promotion daripada HotFM untuk menggalakkan penonton datang dengan baju KUNING, tetapi rakyat Malaysia yang rata-ratanya datang untuk menyokong MU tetap datang dengan jersi MU berwarna MERAH. Bangga?

Saya bukanlah seorang peminat MU mahupun sukan bola sepak. Namun perlawanan di antara Msia vs MU merupakan salah satu ujian simbolik terhadap tahap patriotisma kita terhadap negara tercinta. Saya tidak dapat memahami bagaimana kita boleh memuja dan menjulang satu pasukan bola sepak negara lain lebih daripada negara sendiri. Apalah agaknya pandangan pasukan pelawat tersebut apabila melihat pihak lawan (Msia) telah dibelakangi oleh rakyatnya sendiri. Bangga?

SEKUMPULAN penyokong setia Harimau Malaysia tetap bersemangat
sekalipun ditenggelami penyokong MU.(Ihsan BHarian)

Mungkin anda berkata, apa yang heboh sangat, ini hanyalah sebuah perlawanan bola sepak yang tiada kena mengena dengan sikap patriotik kita sebagai rakyat Malaysia. Namun, tidakkah ia sedikit sebanyak mencerminkan peribadi kita yang lebih memuja hero asing? Apalah perasaan pemain-pemain yang membawa nama negara apabila mereka dipersenda oleh bangsa mereka sendiri?

Hatta apabila Amri Yahyah melunaskan jaringan ke gol MU, masih ada kedengaran suara2 sumbang yang menidakkan kebolehan Malaysia mempertahankan maruahnya daripada dimalukan oleh MU.

"MU sekadar memberi peluang kepada Malaysia"

"Jaringan Amri Yahyah tidaklah begitu boleh dibanggakan"

"Alaa.. ploksot jak tuuu.."

Jadi, banggakah kita?

Semoga warga Malaysia akan sedar malam ini. Tidak sanggupku menonton pasukan negaraku dimalukan oleh bangsanya sendiri, malam ini.

Bangga?

Tidak, tidak sama sekali.

At Last...

This morning, Sal asked me whether I receive any letter from pendaftar. It is about the APC. Then, I went to check at the pegion hole. Yup I got the letter too. At last, after 10 years, finally I got it. Cheeewah.. tembirang.. Personaly, this is rather important for me. It is some kind of a milestone for me. Hairan, mcm mana org boleh dpt cemerlang although baru balik belajar, baru masuk kerja etc. And most of the time, I will try to comfort myself. It is not that I am not doing and try the best at work. So, this is my time. Giliran saya. Alhamdulillah.

Bowl

Are you a bowler? Me? Nope. But we are having a bowling tournament tomorrow. This sport competition is organized by the students. Other than bowling, there are snooker, netball, soccer, badminton.

Dila came to me asking whether I am interested to join in a bowling team, two weeks before. Surprisingly, I agreed! It has been along long time since I bowl. So, to re-align our hand we went to bowl at the 1B during lunch hour. Hahaha.. so, funny coz my ball keep attracted to the 'longkang'. By the second day, my hand and my arm is aching. Mcmanalah mo main besok. Hopefully luck is at our side.

To Sal, Yatt, Dila.. we play our best, aaa.. Chaiyo..chaiyo..!

Pereka 2009

Waiting for the whole day for the judge to come to our booth. They are so busy with other agenda.

New

The new semester has come. New student has already registered and starting their new life as a university student. It must be hard for those who has no experience living far away from family. But they will survive. Enjoy and appreciate the opportunity. Moving to another stage of life.

To my students, welcome back. Hopefully you all had a nice holiday and ready to continue your study with a positive mind, fully prepared and new resolution.

Welcome back, once again.

Mikaeel Jackson

He died yesterday, 25th June 2009. Cardiac failure.

I am not a great fan, but I grew up with his song. We sang Heal the World in a choir in secondary school. I love the Thriller movie and song.

I heard that he has converted to Islam last November and hope he still a Muslim until his death. Innalillah.. The world never left he rest in peace, but hopefully he is now.

Goodbye dear Jacko.

Climb

I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"

I don't know, somehow I was touched by this song. Maybe the lyrics, maybe the song itself.
I don't know, everytime I listen to this song, it brings goose bump to me.
I hope I will get the strength to make my dream a reality.




The Climb lyrics
Songwriters: Alexander, J; Mabe, J;

I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking

Yeah, I will not breaking, Ya Allah berikan aku kekuatan.

Chicken Pox

For the last 1 month, I have to deal with the chicken pox. Started with Nurul last month, and after she recover.. just after we get back from Sandakan, Danish took the turn. We gave him young coconut juice (air kelapa muda bah) as many people claim it will make the recovering stage faster. Alhamdulillah, just before we went to KL he had recovered. Although the scar were still can be spotted, but he is 100% ready for the trip.

Two days before we went back to KK, while changing Danial I saw some spots on his body. Alamak.. it was eventually Danial turns to kena. Luckily I brought the medicine. Apply the calamine lotion to reduce the itchiness and gave him ubat demam. So, not much jalan2 coz he is not feeling well and meragam.

It was quite a challenge when we were on the flight to KK. He keep crying and throwing all his tantraum. I am relieved when he fall asleep just before the meal came. He woke up 20 minutes to landing and continue his tebiat. Ndak tau lah apa org sebelah menyebelah cakap.. He was crying and crying. Kesian at the same time geram! I manage to calm him down showing his favourite cartoon on the screen - Upin dan Ipin.

Currently, I am on leave. Taking care dear Danial. He is recovering but the spots are so many. Especially on his face and his body. Kesian betul tinguk dia. Do you have any tips how to make the scar dissapear?

Visit

Today I visited students around Shah Alam anSd Kelana Jaya.

Quite a day.. my first visit, the jaga don't allow me to get in to the premise, a company at the Glenmarie. Sudah lah p sana sikit punya susah. I decided to take commuter to avoid the traffic jam. Skali tengok bila sampai di stesen susah pulak mo dapat teksi. Nasiblah org2 d sana tidak potong queue.

Insiden 1

Dijadikan cerita, bila sampai d syarikat *tuut* tu, saya bertanyakan pada Pak Guard.

Misako : I am here to see Miss *tuuut*. She is expecting me.
Jaga : Oh there is no staff name *tuuut*.
Misako : I just spoken with her. She is a practical student here.
Jaga : Baru kaa lama?
Misako : Hmm baru lah juga.
Jaga : Tiada..tiada.. sini tiada ambil pekerja praktikal.
Misako : Baru jer saya cakap dengan dia through phone tadi. Tak pe lah, saya tunggu dia turun.

Then tried to call the student. Ndak tau lah apa malang nasib saya, 10++ kali saya call ndak pulak menyambut si student ni. Bengang. Syukurlah ada gerai-gerai depan company tu. Lepak jap di kantin. Adalah lebih kurang setengah jam baru si student ni call.

Bila lalu kat depan jaga tu, dia kata
"Oooo ini pekerja lama.." Lama? 1 bulan tu lama ker?

Insiden 2

Visiting the last student of the day. Naik teksi dari Kelana Square ke Phileo Damansara.
Pakcik Teksi : Nak pergi maner?
Misako : Jalan Bersatu, Seksyen 13 PJ
Pakcik Teksi : Ok..

Sepanjang perjalanan tu, Pakcik ni sangat peramah. Macam2 dia cerita. Dalam hatiku, ok jugak pakcik ni. Bila mau sampai, dia kata tempat tu susah mo cari teksi. Dia offer utk tunggu tapi kena tambah RM10. Tapi saya kata saya tak pasti berapa lama.. may be 15 minit, maybe lagi lama. Sampai di company yg last ni, telefon pulak flat. Ndak dpt call student. So, try asking the receptionist. Dia pun kata tak da nama tu kerja kat company tu. Saya minta tolong dia check kat HR coz I come all the way from SABAH to meet the student. Dengan muka menyampah dia pun check dengan HR. Boleh pulak dia kata saya dari Sarawak bila dia call HR. Saya pun tunggu. 10 minit. 15 minit. 20 minit. Tanya lagi. Dia kata kena tunggu HR check baru tau. 30 minit saya tunggu. I tried my phone, manage to tekan no. student tu before the phone flat. Luckily, student tu turun n check me at the lobby.

Sambung cerita pakcik teksi.

Bila sudah habis jumpa student, saya tinguk driver teksi tu masih ada. Dia kata lama dia tunggu. Saya pun crita lah serba sedikit. Bila sampai di hotel.

Pakcik teksi : Ok semuanya RM 35.
Misako : Aaa?? Tadi kata tambah RM10 saja.
Pakcik Temahak : Ya, kalau tunggu 15 minit tambah RM10.. ni tunggu dekat 1 jam.
Misako : (Boleh pulak macam tu, tadi ndak pun dia cakap) Mana boleh macam tu en. Macamana boleh jadi 35?
Pakcik temahak : Kena tambah RM25. jadi semuanya 35 lah.
Misako : (Gerammnyaaa... penipu punya pakcik). Minta resit.
Pakcik bikin panas : Alaa.. resit baru jer habis. Nanti mintak jer dengan teksi lain.
Misako : Sudah lah mahal, tak der resit pulak tu. (Bayar tambang sambil geleng kepala)

Haii.. memang aku sudah kena kencheng..Kurang asam punya driver teksi!

KL Trip

The last time my family and I went to KL was 3 years ago. That time we only have my Danish and Nurul. I am not expecting to face challenges in handling Danial on flight from KK to KL, but I was wrong. He did not want to sleep, nor sit calmly. During the take-off, he refuse to fasten his seat belt. As usual I gave them some drinks and milk, so that their ear can balance the air pressure during the take-off. The fasten-your-seatbelt-light was still on, but Danial wanted to go to hubby's seat which was at the other side of the aisle. Trying to calm him, I found some aeroplane pics from the inflight magazine. But not so long, he got down and sat at the aisle instead. I tried not to make him upset, or it will be troublesome to stop him from his usual tantrum. Luckily hubby bought some potato chips. So he munch them quietly. After that he was climbing the seat to see the boys at the back seat. Malas mo gaduh2, so I just let him standing on the seat.

We reach at the airport around 7.45 pm, and straight away to the taxi counter. The cashier girl said we need to take two cab because there are 5 of us. It cost us RM138. Bagus lagi naik hotel coach. Reach the hotel at 9 pm. Kiddos too tired to go to pasar malam, so cancelled the plan. Sampai bilik terus flat.

FunTastica!

If you were there, you would agree with me. At first, I were really worried that the reunion dinner will be quiet, boring and dull. It turned out to be absolutely the opposite. It was fun, exciting, full of laughter and memorable. Thanks to Adlin and Nurul. You both were the backbone. Nurul, you really make the dinner lively. Many thanks to friends that supporting the event. Although it was not as big as we wanted, but for me that was more than successful.
After 15 years leaving UKMS Matriculation, most of my friends look more gorgeous and beautiful. They are still the same, funny and full of interesting idea.

An entry from my dear Roomate here.

for the rest pics,you need to join our xUKMS FB group laa..

According to Adlin, Dr. D is asking for the next reunion! Good luck for the future organizer.

Mate forever!

I am on leave today, but still in the office with my kiddos. Why? Need to settle things before the LI visit next week. Need to finish marking the exam answer script (PLUMS) and key in the marks. Hope I can finish it by today.

This afternoon, I will fetch my mate (shorties for room mate) and her family at the airport. She will be here for the xUKMS reunion dinner tomorrow night. The last time I met her was 6-7 years back. During that time, I went to Kuching for 3 weeks training. We went to her parents house, makan2, and jalan2 around Kuching. Do you still remember it, mate?

She was my room mate during my matriculation at UKMS Menggatal campus. Although we only spent 1 year to know each other, it was like I know her for life! We went through good and sad memories. We share the same principles and at the same time fought for our own thought. Learn together and in the same KK1, also in the same study group. We went to jog together, lunch, dinner, and diet .. together. It is like a video tape playing in my head, right now. I really miss the memories.

Now after more than 10 years, we are about to meet again, with other xUKMS. I have a mixed feeling. Happy, excited, nervous and macam2. Hopefully I still can recognize you, mate. See you at the airport!

Bowling anyone?

After several years (more than a decade!), I went to bowl with my siblings and our ayah. I am not good at bowling, not even moderate. Asyik2 masuk longkang. But, this time it was special coz my ayah also join us. It was really fun. The cheering up, the excitement, the satisfaction. Next time, I will try to minimize the 'longkang' version.

After that we headed to Gerai Ikan Bakar at Sim-Sim. The fish was tasty and fresh. Reasonable price. Boleh lah..

By the way,

Mom went to Kuala Terengganu for Girl Guide's Symposium.

Tin Anniversary

It has been 10 years... Thanks for sharing your life with me, hubby. Will love you.. forever.

Sorry, Out of service!

Last Friday night we went to the bank to pay my CC. Cut the story short, after I put the money into the machine, I heard the ‘counting’ sound. I wait for a sec. It counted again. But suddenly the screen shows a message. Waited again. No receipt.

What?!!! I panicked for a while. The people around keep asking what’s happening. The machine took my money without even saying thank you, apa lagi resit. So, how should I report this without any evidence of transaction? I tried to call the customer care centre. It was so complicated, need to press so many button before I get through to the officer. At first I kept pressing the wrong code/number, maybe because I was nervous+panic. Several customer at the bank offering some suggestion and help. One of them gave her phone number and she said she will contact her friend, the bank manager later.

After several attempt I finally got through to the right officer (customer care). I reported the incident and she took my particulars for authentication. She assured me that she will pass it to the bank, the process will be in 7 working day. 7 days? Punya lah lama! So, I decided to go to the bank first thing on Monday morning.

Trying to comfort myself, I thought as a computer programmed machine, the ATM should recorded the account number and the transaction on that particular time when I inserted my money. And if the ‘counting sound’ I heard earlier is really counting process, the transaction should be successful. Oh, ok… I will check my account again later.

This morning, before I go to the bank I re-check my account. Thank God, Alhamdulillah! The payment was successful! Syukur, Alhamdulillah! Next time, I will insist to pay through the counter, peduli lah tu org mo marah sy. Sometime ICT really can cause trouble!

Oh ya, if this happen to you.. you should need to have several information. First you need to call the customer care.

• The ATM ID
• Time of transaction
• How much money..
• Your account number (yg involved with the transaction)
  
• Your particulars

Harap2 tidak terjadi lagi kepada kita semua...

Spelling B

On the way to the taska, I used to have some interesting conversation with my kiddos. I know Danish can spell his father's name, so I ask he to spell his name.

Ummi : Danish, cuba eja nama Danish..
Danish : Ooo Danish tau.. D.A.N.I.S.H, enter..
Ummi : Enter? (Puzzled)

Left-handed

Since Danish was 2 – 3 years old, I realize he will be a lefty. He wrote, hold things and even eat using his left hand. No problem being a left-handed toddler, but as a kid going to school there will be more issues. Writing for example. Normally lefty’s handwriting is more smudgy coz the way we write English and Bahasa is from left to the right. It will be even worst if he is a sweaty person.

 

In our tradition, using right hand is always the right way. Especially when eating. To ask  Danish to use his right hand to eat is very hard. He will use for the first 2 – 3 spoon but after that he will automatically switch to his left hand.

 

courtesy from lefty

While browsing the Internet, I come across to an article saying that there is an NGO for Lefties in Malaysia. They even have their own blog; http://lefthandedmalaysia.blogspot.com. Some of the services are selling the left-handed scissors, pencil sharpener, mugs, etc. Especially design for the lefty.

Some interesting info from the blog:

• Spatial Thinkers - The thought processes of left-hander are dominated by the right hemisphere of their brain, which deals with non-verbal, visual, artistic and musical perceptions, as well as controlling the left side of the body.
• Left-handers are wired into the artistic right hemisphere of the brain which makes them imaginative, creative, witty, obsessive, infuriating, delightful and original but NEVER DULL
• Left-handers are twice as likely to qualify for MENSA, the high IQ society.
• Your sense of humor is in the left-hand brain. It is no accident that so many of the great comics have been left-handed....

"I touch the future. I teach." (Christa McAuliffe)

and..

just now, I read a post from my x-student. Really nice and would like to share with you..

Guru oh Guru

Ibuku berkata….. jangan jadi guru
terpulas telinga murid
nanti penjaga datang meluru

Ayahku berkata….. jangan jadi guru
kerja 24 jam tidak menentu

Datukku berkata….. jangan jadi guru
10 tahun belum tentu dapat tukar kereta baru

Nenekku berkata….. jangan jadi guru
dah ramai diberi pil fikiran bercelaru

Kakakku berkata….. jangan jadi guru
Tangan kasar memegang kapur sepanjang waktu

Abangku berkata….. jangan jadi guru
Kasut guru lelaki dah lima tahun lusuh berjerutu

Adikku 7 tahun berkata….. dia nak jadi guru
kerana guru dia tahu ejaan dan nahu
kerana guru dia kenal tolak tambah dengan berlagu

Kerana guru ibunya seorang jururawat
Kerana guru ayahnya seorang korporat
Kerana guru datuknya seorang teknokrat
Kerana guru neneknya pandai menjahit dan mengerat
Kerana guru kakaknya pandai berutus surat

Tapi.... bukan kerana guru abangnya seorang
buaya darat dan penjual VCD keparat

Kerana guru mereka tidak hidup melarat
guru….. guru….. guru

Kusanjung luhur tulus budimu


SELAMAT HARI GURU !!!

..walau apa pun cabaran dan halangan melanda.. cikgu akan terus berusaha 'melahirkan' generasi yang berguna..

Danial is TWO!

Happy Birthday dear Danial. He is now two years old. Can speak simple sentences. Tapi masih pelat lagi. And most of the time, he is mumbling his own language.
What he can do?

• Follow simple instruction
• Match shapes
• Count 1 - 10
• Wear and take off his own shoes
• Names some animals
• Draw simple line and coloring
• Stack up block
• Simple jigsaw puzzle
  
• 
  
• Swim (nah.. just kidding)
  

Internet yang Tenat

Sejak beberapa hari ini, kelajuan internet di rumah dan di pejabat tersangatlah tenat. Jangankan mo buka Facebook, buka email pun macam siput. Setelah dibelek-belek, rupanya talian Streamyx yang disewa yang kononnya bandwidthnya 512 kbps cuma available di luar waktu sibuk (bukan peak hours). Tapi janganlah mengharap sangat jika bertenet selepas office hour, sungguh lembab. Mudah-mudahan orang-orang Streamyx dapat meningkatkan lagi kualiti perkhidmatan mereka.

server dalam Malaysia

server di US

Tapi mcm tak berapa percaya lah ngan speedtest ni.. nanti mo cari lagi bandwidth tester yg lain.

Bulan Lima

Bulan Lima atau Bulan Mei merupakan bulan yang paling sibuk buat Misako. Mengapa? Sebab bulan ini Danial akan menyambut hari ulang tahunnya yang kedua. Selain itu, Ayah juga menyambut harijadinya pada bulan Mei, dan tentunya ulangtahun saya! Alahai, dah bertambah umur Misako. Bulan ini juga Misako menyambut wedding anniversary ke 10. Semoga berkekalan hingga akhir hayatlah hendaknya.

Btw, hari ini Misako menghadiri Final Year Project presentation utk pelajar2 PLUMS. Tengahari nanti ada jemputan kenduri kawan. Esok pulak ada kuliah DataComm. Isnin - jadi ketua pengawas di Dewan Chanselor. Selasa - meeting program. Harap2 lepas tu ada masa Misako menyelesaikan marking exam paper para pelajar.
