Current Favourite Song

I loved you for a thousand years.. will love you for a thousand more..

Sedang ‘in love’ dengan lagu ni. Rasanya lagu ni adalah salah satu lagu dalam soundtrack filem Twilight yg teSelrakhir tu. Ndak ingat apa tajuk filem tu. Tapi dalam official video clip ada diselit sedikit trailer pasal filem Twilight.

Liriknya sungguh romantis. Berangan-angan sekejap, menghayati bait-bait lirik. Bah, salam Jumaat yang barakah sahabat semua. Malam ini ada dinner sempena Hari Wanita di Magellan.

Selamat berhujung minggu ya!

Jumaat yang Berkat

Assalamualaikum Winking smile

Hari yang ceria bermula dengan mood yang ceria. Di sini, saya rasa saya lebih dihargai, bukan sahaja sebagai pelajar tetapi juga sebagai rakan. Pagi-pagi tadi terserempak dengan dekan sekolah (tempat saya belajar). Beliau menyapa seperti seorang sahabat lama. Bertanya khabar dan keperluan untuk melancarkan lagi proses menimba ilmu saya ini. Agak terkejut sebab jarang-jarang orang besar-besar sudi menyapa ikan bilis seperti saya ini.

Maka atas sebab itu, mood saya sangat baik hari ini. Sampai di lab, terus cari kertas-kertas jurnal yang sudah dicetak, tapi belum dibaca. Hari ini saya bertekad untuk menghabiskan sekurang-kurangnya satu review paper.

Ok, saya sambung dulu. Oh ya, selamat berhujung minggu!

Day 1: The Lab

This is the 4th week in Semester 1. Beginning to like my ‘lil corner in the Lab, the place i spent the most of my next 3 years (hope I can complete within time)of  study. I still remember 2 weeks before, it can automatically trigger a headache just by thinking about coming to the lab. Imagine, for a decade I have my own cosy room where everything I need in order  to be a fully functioning teacher were just within my reach. But now, knowing that I need to move to another place in order for me to really feel   that i am now a student, is making me quite anxious. The smell of the lab enough to put my mood off . Next of course the migraine la..

Alhamdulillah, it is better now. I can sit several hours reading and doing stuff as student used to do. Need to have this important momentum to sail this journey. Like one of my good friend said.. It’s about time for me to jump into the ocean. Now I am in the ocean, and in need to learn how to swim. But before that I need to know how to float. Or otherwise I will be drowning.  Please ya Allah, don’t let me drown. Please give me the strength.

Still learning how to float, and sometimes it makes me tired. It is endless. So many thing need to read, yet so many thing need to understand. Most of the jargons are still aliens to me.

Now I need to jot down all the important points from my reading into my journal before the meeting with Dr Supervisor tomorrow.

Signing off,

Yours truly

I am a Student!

At last! It took me more than 10 years to make another ‘giant’ step in my life. Why? There are so many reasons.

  • Commitment – You name it. Work commitment, family commitment, etc.. etc..
  • The ‘love’ – I love to involve in research that got to do with learning or e-learning. Until the final month before I submitted my proposal to a prospect supervisor, I found another love! Haha..
  • Mr Supervisor – This is one of the most important criteria for you to consider. Of course we will never find a perfect Supervisor, but at least, this person should be the right one. The one who see you as a person, guide you through the journey, someone who knowledgeable to the field.
  • Over-the-sea – The most important of all is, I am quite reluctant to move to another place, especially over-the-sea. I might be new interesting life, but being me.. I don’t think I can cope with all the changes. Especially with my 3 schooling kids and full-of-commitment-hubby. This is why I have to take a decade to decide.

Alhamdulillah, one of my prayers had been answered by the All Mighty. To be a mother, a wife and a student at my own home, I mean here at KK. Am praying hard and of course struggling to be on time with all the schedule and milestone set by me and Mr Supervisor (DrABB).

So, now I am a student. Once again ;). Hope this journey brings me a lot of nice memories. A journey not only to broaden the border of knowledge but also to find my stand in this academia world. InsyaAllah.

Ya Allah, sahaja aku menimba ilmu keranaMu. Permudahkanlah perjalananku dan rakan2ku dalam perjuangan kami mencari ilmuMu. Amiin.
