Month Of Work

I realized it has been over a month since I last wrote anything, but the workload this year has been tremendous. Started all the way in late december till now, and today is the only day that I can properly take a breather, was in fact planning to spend the day watching movies and so on. But I still have lesson plans to write for next week.
So what have I been up to the last month, nothing exciting actually. There was the usual Aidil Adha at my grandpa’s, 2 cows were up to offer this year. Did my part and got a share of the cow. A tiring Aidil Adha as usual, only relieved by the fact that I get to see a lot of my relatives.
Then school sort of started early for me this year, we had our staff meeting right before Aidil Adha and I had to have the new school timetable ready before that and was only given 3 days to finish. So I had one out that was only of mediocre standard. Usually I’d take a week to churn out a good timetable. But we do have to work under pressure sometimes Smile
School was hectic this first month, up to now there’s already 3 company that came to install/service various things, one installed a new set of projectors for the science labs, another came to service the language lab and still one more came to install a new fingerprint clocking system. Luckily I only had to oversee 2 out of 3, but that still took a chunk out of my time.
Then there was the various trainings, sport house trainings and volleyball training started early this year. Beginning to feel that my skin has taken on another shade due to all the trainings.
There are other things that have happened, but then again I don’t feel like telling hahahah. Maybe I’ll write something proper the next time I write. For now I’ll just continue watching movies and reruns of Smallville Season 6.

I Won An Ewido???

I was just surfing around the internet, just wasting time. When I spotted a forum with a topic titled “Winners of the CoU Second Anniversary Celebration!”, and I scrolled down and lo and behold mr karlbum is a lucky draw winner!!! Apparently I won a free software courtesy of said forum, but a year ago!!!! A forum that I don’t even remember registering for, so I checked when I registered on that forum, guess what? I registered in 2003!! No wonder I have not a clue what the forum is all about. But as it is, I won a software named Ewido Security Suite Plus, and even that software doesn’t exist anymore, it has been bought over by the Grisoft group and renamed.
Lucky enough to be randomly picked to get a free software, but unlucky enough to get it in Oct 2005, a period of time that I did not have time to check my email due to the fact that it was actually my last few months at maktab and I was very busy with assignments and preparing for finals. Just my luck I guess. C’est la vie Smile

Frustrating Day

Went to Kota Bharu today, with the intention of settling a few matters that was hanging on me. First I wanted to go to the PBSMM (Red Crescent) HQ, I wanted to check the price for my uniform. But the PBSM Shop was closed!!!
Officer’s uniform are usually a bit more expensive, so just wanted to confirm and have one tailored for me. (Yep they have their own tailor Razz) Actually I already have a uniform, but that one was badly made, ill-fitting and according to a superior cut the wrong way. It was made when I was still in maktab and now I needed a new one as my school has just set aside a day where the students can wear uniforms to the school. I’m the head advisor so naturally I should set an example. So I was thinking that I could salvage the shirt from the last uniform and put that to use as a double for the new one. Alas the shop was closed and now I will have to go again another day.
Secondly, I wanted to repair my O2 Mini, the speaker has been giving me troubles, can’t actually hear anything thru it. Wanted to send it off to the shop, but the shop that I went to said that they lacked the capability to fix it. Sheesh, why did u open a handphone repair shop if you can’t fix one Razz And the rejection was done without even asking what was wrong with the phone. If the guy was nice enough I would have given him a printout from the internet that showed how to fix the problem step by step. I would have done it myself if I got the tools.
I guess I’ll try another shop, another day. As today it was already nearing the end of office hours and I just wanted to get out of KB before the rush hour. No point getting stuck in the middle of a jam for nothing. Till my next complaint.

It is that time of year again, time for me to reflect a year added to my life, a year added to my age. What have I achieved this 2006? Truly I can’t say much, except that I have reaped the rewards of my toil in 2005. Might I say that this year I can hold my head up high, because I have partially redeemed my wayward ways of yesteryears.
This year also means that I am truly a civil servant, here to serve the masses. This year, I worked hard, harder than most years in my life. Mostly for my self, for that inner satisfaction. Just so that I know, I can do anything that I will myself to. This year I made a promise to do everything as they should be done, and I’m glad that I have done what I could if not the best of my capabilities.
This year has truly been satisfying. Words will never be enough to explain everything, and some things are meant to never be spoken/written. It is high time that I reward myself for a job well done, but hmmm, it seems I can’t make up my mind. Perhaps I will take it slow, and truly peruse what I should get. A watch would be nice, as I haven’t wore one for a full year now (good excuse for being late). I have been eyeing a certain Casio Protrek PRG-80YT watch for months now. But a handphone would be good too, to replace my ailing O2 Mini, perhaps I will truly get the desirable Dopod D810. But money is always the barrier, between want and need. But is it?

It’s A Rainy Holiday

It is almost a week since school hols started, but I am still at school, not because I’m hardworking. In fact I’m still here because I’m lazy Razz
I’m not the only one here, there are numerous other teachers, they are mostly here because they are on duty, and one physics teacher is here for the same reason as I am.
Actually I’m doing extra classes for my biology students, just to finish up on their syllabus and start early on their form 5 syllabus. Also because I’m keeping an eye on the form 5 students. You know how kids feel more secure when they have their teacher around, even if the teacher can offer little or no help at all.
Just did an experiment with my students yesterday, I was not really thinking of doing experiments with them, more of teaching theories and stuff. But they wanted to do an experiment and I have no problem about it. So yesterday we cut up some frogs to learn about their anatomy, which I believe they enjoyed the break from normal teaching. There was one scaredy-cat though. Who didn’t even want to take a look at the frog, the squirmish type, who have now earned the nickname “puteri katak”. Overall, I think the experiment served its purpose, which was to give them a preview to comparative anatomy, which they would never get to see unless they took up biology at university level.
I think that’s it, I have to prepare for my afternoon class now.

The University Feedback

An issue has been highlighted recently by our media, this concerned our PM wanting feedbacks from Malaysian that have studied oversea and what they saw there that could be applied to our university and improve it further. This is somehow related to the concern that our universities are not favourably ranked by the world. Our ranks usually starts in the hundreds and usually UM our oldest univ getting the better rank.
The highlight was that the ranking systems focuses on the product (students/graduates) and the manufacturers (lecturers). How good/ready are the students when they leave the univ and how qualified are the lecturer plus how many researchs/advancements they have done.

Hola, it’s been a while since I last wrote here, not that I was purposely neglecting my blog, but then it tends to get quite busy at school that I just can’t make time to write a proper update, I suppose I could leave short updates, but that wouldn’t really quench your thirst for info would it?
Here’s a short amalgamation of happenings in my life lately, first and foremost I went on an interview, those on my YM probably saw the weird status about a month ago .. heheh yes it’s been that long. The interview is actually my appointment interview. The ministry have this long and strenuous process that need to be done before I get my confirmation as a teacher. This interview is part of it.

The Holiday That Really Was Not

It has been a full week, my holiday doesn’t even feel like it was one, except for the lack of needing to go to class and teach.
Heck, I’ve been really busy this past week, I’ve only been able to take a rest on friday and from saturday till tuesday my schedule was really full. First on saturday I was busy buying stuff to make into door-gifts, and no it is not for my wedding and its not related to weddings at all. That was tiring, running around finding things for the gifts. Thankfully my mom, had an idea where to find all this things, and that really smooths thing along a bit.

Anak Kecil Berlari-lari

Anak kecil berlari-lari,
Riang, gembira, sambil tertawa,
Indah sungguh ibu pertiwi,
Aman, damai, sentiasa.
Nun jauh di sana,
Anak kecil berlari-lari,
Sedih, berlinangan air mata,
Berlari, menyelamatkan diri.
Tidakkah kau lihat wahai kawan,
Bumi bertuah, hijau melata,
Syukurlah diri wahai kawan,
Bumi bertuah, milik kita.
Nun jauh disana,
Buminya masih berlinangan air mata,
Darah merah, segar mengalir,
Anak kecil menangis kesepian,
Mencari-cari, erti kehilangan.
Tanah mereka diceroboh,
Mereka dipermain-mainkan,
Pertiwi dilanyak, diroboh,
Dimana ertinya kemerdekaan.
Indah sungguh ibu pertiwi,
Aman, damai, sentiasa,
Erti merdeka penuh dihati,
Marilah kita menghayatinya,
Luahkanlah perasaan hati,
Launglah merdeka sekuat hati,
Merdeka… Merdeka….. Merdeka…

Post Penang Trip 2006

As per my prior post, I went off to Penang for almost a week, 6 days to be exact, the 4 days was spent stuck in a conference room, verifying the data for my school. But I managed to sneak out at night and spend it with friends. Met namiaz, Iskandar also of RHFC and the ever famous Hajar or her callsign 9W2JAR. After the 4 days, I stayed back as the rest of my fellow workers troop back to Kelantan. Spent two days with my friends, helping namiaz with the setting up of his new stationery shop, although I acted more like a ‘mandur’ hahahahaha Smile Managed to watch a movie, pirates of the carribean 2 with both namiaz and jaja, of which both me and namiaz managed to doze off in the middle of the movie, which left jaja to watch the movie all by herself. Heheheh
While attending my meeting and conferences I also managed to go and buy myself a brand new digital camera, its a Ricoh Caplio R4. Started to take a few shot on the camera, but as of yet it has not been fully utilised, I need to make time to go and take some pictures Grin The time spent there was great, am looking forward to another meetup with friends, probably I’ll turn up in KL or Kedah in the near future Smile Just to catch up and maybe to get a few gadgets, heheheh Grin
As of now, I’m definitely very busy, making all the timetable for the school, very strenuous on the brain.. erghhhhh
