In chronology:
1.i banged the phone
2. emailed the complaint while wailing
3. came back to my senses and listened to a long explanation from someone over the phone
4. Insaf... terus ambik wuduk pi solat hahaha
and no.. it got nothing to do with lover's quarrel. I was actually raging over some stupid rules and some senseless delivery staff who refused to deliver my grocery when the delivery truck was not allowed to go inside.
mintak mahap abang guard yerr...
PEACE NO WAR!! hahaha

Revisited: Mostaganem
In not less than a month, 2014 is going to end... pheww.. ( lap peluh)..
I seriously think that time files very fast lately. Imagine.. I clock in at 8 ish everymorning.. and after a while, it seems like hours and its almost time to go back home... It is either I am the slow person.. as I am not able to read a few pages from the text book or the clock is ticking twice faster than before.. ( clock ticking sound at the back..)
anyway... I am suddenly inspired to write a post.. today as .. it marked the end of my last lecture, safely delivered to the students this morning , for this semester. We still have another 2 weeks before the whole semester ends, and the final exam week starts..
Let see what I have been doing since my previous post. which is in September...
We celebrated Eid ul Adha in early october, and this time the whole family of my brother went back home. We managed to have our 'qurban' at some place close to our vicinity.
and then my sister and family prepared for a short attachment in London. They are supposed to leave in early October, but still they were waiting for the visa approval first. I think it was the second week of October that my sister managed to take the flight along with her 3 kids and the husband. However, the rest of the family's visas have not been approved, and even my sister's working visa for the duration of 6 months was also not approved. Nevertheless, they went there and have to be back after 3 months. Whilst, for my sister she has to return back to complete her 6 months attachment. Well, if she's still there in march, there is a big probability of me visiting her there. Anyway, the rest of the family will be back for good in the end of December
I attended another conference in Algeria in the end of October, all by myself. Well, this is my 1st time travelling alone after the major things that changed my life in 2011. The insecured feelings are still there, but I realized I have The AlMighty that protects me where ever I go, and with that I knew that I am all prepared toconquer the world to travel all by myself.. again
A long transit at Istanbul.. ( by the way, the current mosque is now bigger than the last one, when I had my isyak ) during my previous to Albania. Since it is still summer in October, so I managed to have my fajr prayer in the new mosque. However, it was a really long hours before I got to catch the connecting flight to Oran. It was almost 1 pm Turkey time when I got to board, and after 4 hours I safely arrived at Oran. Since the conference place was situated at Mostaganem, the same place I went to last March,, which is about an hour drive from Oran, I have decided not to use the same route from the Last March's flight. Oran is another international airport in Algeria and several international flights especially from Spain and some neighbourhood countries, but still its size is much smaller than our domestic airport.
Anyway, the conference committee have waited for us there, so off we went straight to the hotel.
and this is when all my misery started hahaha.
The hotel... was not as we expected. the apartment seems like an abandoned building with water flooded everytime we take a bath. The worst thing, I was locked in the shower, as I was not able to open the door. Luckily there are people outside whom unlocked it for me. Was not able to get the wifi as well...
Anyway.. I managed to survive for a few days and flew back home. Oh by the way, I was accompanied by a few Turkish Professor and we were actually complaining about the condition of the hotel. To bad, I was not able to go for sightseeing in Oran due to time constraint. I was hoping that there will be excursion after the conference but they cancelled it at the last minute.
Since I have been there before, I did not feel like taking anymore pictures ha ha ha. By the way, most of the people that i met in Tunisia were there... so I have no problem in mingling with them.
Wow,, this entry took a lot more than I thought...
I d better continue next time...
Anyway, these are all the pics ( still have some with my lovelydaughters friends from Algeria). The 1st one is the "hotel". The 2nd one is Oran airport and the 3rd one is the pic that I snapped from the car.
Till then..

5 months later..
New semester started a week ago, and even thou I still have another few weeks before my leave ends.. they have appointed me to be the coordinator for SBP4302, and I willingly accepted it..
No harm thou...
Anyway... time flies... in between the last post, Managed to get another new bibik for mom.. lesson learnt thou.. I sent her to my sis for a week before she went back with my father to KB..
Owh by the way, went to Albania for the conference in May with beloved father. managed to visit the kruja castle at skandenberg mountain.. It was a breathtaking view up there, thou there were a few sellers who exhibited their hand made knitted material up there which kinda interfere the ambience.. went to visit the mosque as well, the clock tower at Tirana.. and joined the group to National Park.. which I found out later it was a Ramsa site, and not like our national park which consists of flora and fauna.. and errmm leeches... hikhik
Anyway. we managed to walk for a few miles under the sun... had the hearties lunch of baked fish and salad.. at the restaurant nearby...
Albania is such a beautiful country... the roses they planted there were the biggest I have ever seen, and being the 'jakun' girl, I snapped most of the rosebushes i saw during the trip there..
By the way, I was invited for another conference in Algeria, and this time I m hoping that I d be able to visit Oran and have my picture taken at one of the spot that I aimed during my last trip there. Too bad it was raining that time and we did not bring any umbrella, and some more we were rushing to the airport to catch an afternoon flight to Algiers
Hoping to meet the people whom I met in the conference in Tunisia.
Apart from that... I had a quiet Eid this year.. all the siblings came back... and my big bro has come back for good from Bahrain. My niece and her friend were at my house for 3 months for their practical at MINT.
owh another tragic incident during ramadhan.. MH17.. I wept a lot during that time and still weeping whenever i read about the passengers's stories in newspaper these days..
Life is too short... we would never know when is our times.. those are the reminders for us then..
okayy.. one more paper to review..
till then

of Maid and...the second chance
Wesak day today... another public holiday for us in Malaysia.. yippeee... I can wake up late then.. not like other working days..
oh well.. I woke up as usual.. at this fossil age :) I dun think i would be able to wake up late. No mater how sleepy you are, after your face was touched by your ablution... you are now as fresh as before you went to sleep. tried to read a few surahs, yet I left my glass at work. without reading glass, I am half blind.. literally
anyway... remember when I said that I would get a maid in my last entry..?
owh well tragedy occured.
That nasty maid robbed me in the broad day light. last monday morning, less than 12 hours after I fetched her from Rawang, I found out that she has a husband here, and then I realized that her main intention was to be with her husband when she came to Malaysia. It's not that she wanted to work as a maid. She refused to take care of kids as they will remind of her kids.. pbhhttt.
on that same night, a few hours after I brought her back, I called the agent demanding for a replacement. and the agent promised me that she will 'collect' the maid the next day.
Little did I know, she has planned to flee of in the morning. I was so careless, I asked her to sweep my bedroom when I was in the kitchen. and when I went to the room, her passport has gone ( it was in my handbag which I put beside the bed). I asked her whether she has taken it, and she admitted. I asked her to return it and she refused. I searched in her bag, but it was not there. I ran back to my room to find out that my hp was also gone!!
then she followed me to my room and threatened me with a knife that she took from the kitchen. She also tried to tie me, and I was so terrified that I yelled at her.. get outta here with your passport. She asked me to take her down and she promised me that she would return my hp when she's out of here. I told her, with my trembling voice that i would unlock the front door and she can go down by herself. but she insisted that I should take her with me to the front gate.. which is like 100 m away from the apartment. I havent taken my shower yet at that time bcos it was like 6ish in the morning. I just put on the abaya and asked her to leave the knife or I wont take her down. It was happened very early in the morning. I still tried to talk some sense into her. I said i wont get my money back if she just fled off and she dare to tell me.. dont worry you ll get refund.. pbhtt.
Even tried to ask where she would go after this and she mentioned something about her friend at Taman Seri Muda. I tried to dig out for the address and she said she cant remember but she knows the place ( well that sounds weird for someone who claimed that this is the first time she came to Malaysia.. hmm).
Anyway to cut the story short.. she returned my hp and made me promise not to call anyone.. she even apologized for all the things happened.. just when she was out of my sight I called the agent and my sis. I wnt out a few mins to look whether she's still at the main gate.. but she's no where to be seen.
I had a viva in the morning so I have to go to work later. Then I found out that she has taken all the cash in my purse. Made a police report in the afternoon.. and I found out that she also took the luggage bag and replaced with her wornout one. I was so dementedly panick that I didnt even realize that she was taking my bag along with her that day.. never mind.. at least I have my all parts of the body in tact lol..
Thank Allah for all these mishap. This only a very minor and unfortunate incident in my life... there are so many things that I am still grateful with because she did not even hurt me ... there are numerous things that might occur...but Allah save me for not implanting any bad idea to her mind at that time..
With tat, I suddenly realized.. HE has given me so many chances but why am I still hesitating to repent.. I have to admit I have been doing so many sins in the past.. so many mistakes.. and each morning to be wake up alive... its all HIS doings. I feel so small.. and to think that there are so many people who tried to catch up with all good things in life.. I knew that I am so so far behind. i regret, why I did not realize it earlier.. Stop doing things that wont potray you as a Moslem. You can say that You still have time to repent and would do your solat taubah before you reach 40.. for example. I personally think that I am not yet a good muslimah. I am trying... not to talk so many nonensical things anymore. I left the alumni WA group because I think they talked too much about non-benefecial things. I tried not to talk bad about hatred. I just distanced myself with them. I tried to listen to some fruitful discussion before I went to be every nite. I tried to reduce my time WA-ing.... whoot:). I tried to read a lot of some inspirational stories.. about Robert Davila for instance. About Sheikh Yuseff Estes.. etc. I tried to read few surahs everyday.. and "qadhak" my incomplete solats last time. I tried to be a better servant in Allah's eyes. I tried to reduce the dictation by the Angel on my left and increase the one on my right. I know.. it is too late.. but then.. better late than never.
This is a self reminder.. and to everyone who is reading this.. ( ehemm.. :))..
"Allahumma yassir wala tu'assir. Rabbi tammim bilkhoir. Birokhmatikaya Arhamarrohimin." ...
O my Lord make things easier for me, do not make things difficult for me. O my Lord, increase my knowledge and grantme understanding.
Aamin.

Of flares.. and colic
Hi..
I have been on and off with several kinds of symptoms..2 weeks ago. I experienced ubiquitous colicky pain on my left abdomen. It reminded me of my kidney stone pain several years ago. But the good thing was, in between pain I managed to do the laundry, cooked, ate, watched tv.. and finished a few surahs in the Quran. was not able to sleep the whole nite thou. The pain became worst during the nite. Owh, took 2 voltarens during the pain episodes. It got better at dawn. Had my fajr solat and went back to sleep, and it recurred when i woke up around 11. My sis came in the afternoon and i handed over all the souvenirs for her kids, had lunch @ Grills. I can only eat salads.
The rheumy appt was on Tuesday,and I woke up in the morning feeling another uncomfortable pain at the left side. Managed to be called upn very early ( well, that was quite a shock.. i mean shockingly glad:). described the pain to the rheumy,and he wrote a reference letter to a urologist. might be the infection on the urinary bladder due to the kidney stone, that' what he said. owh well what else is new..
my knee joint flared up last friday. and on that same day, mom called regarding the maid.. again. she ( the maid) did not want to work anymore and urged us to send her back home. WA ed the agent, and looked like she has already been informed of the maid's prob. Looks like we are not able to retain her anymore, so the next day, we sent her back.
I am now desperately seeking for another helper for mom. been aggressively calling the numbers in ad, enquiring for a legal helper. I am doing this for beloved mom whom is looking for my sis's kids, most of the time, whilst.. the sister is not doing anything (for now) and expect her other siblings to look for another helper( which is supposed to her task, rite).. well am not complaining... but i pity mom whom is at the golden age.. is still looking for her grandkids.. whilst in fact.. she 's not supposed to take care of anyone or doing anything, at her age.. hmmm
what could I say.. some people are born with different perceptions...
In shaa Allah, I ll get some good news tomorrow regarding the helper.
taa..

Anyway, let's start with what I ve been doing since early January. ...
1.The univ approved my sabbatical leave for 9 months. So I ll be teaching free until 30th September.
2. Remember the task force? I managed to submit the draft before my long leave to hometown. and then i continued with the task until Mid February, after never ending emails from other team members and the leader.
3. I attended a conference in Tunisia, and gave a presentation in Algeria. been there for 12 days altogether.. and missed the malaysian food more than ever. No more croissant after the trip
4. The joints flared up after coming back.Down with flu and tonsilitis. horrible coughs till my lungs exploded.. literally.
5. Back to hometown for a few days in Early April. am back now.. feeling much better. pheww.. Thank Allah..
6. I hve summarized everything in not more than 300 words..wow.. so kewll..
7. Ok.. be back in October 2014.. by that time I ll have more ideas to rant about the students.. lol
8. Owh by the way, will be going for another short trip to Albania with father in May.
9. I just realized that I forgot to upload any of the conference pics. they are still in my hp.. hundreds of them.. but ... am too lazy..
10. i m tired. taaa

of teaching, supervising and such
Nice..I m in my writing mood on this blessed friday... we ll see whether I am able to post this one or it may end up again in the draft section.. hahaha
By the way.. i am a bit busy with classes, students and what else... more tests for the students. we are now in our 4th week, so there is another 10 more weeks to go before the semester ends.. wohooo...
I have submitted my sabbatical leave form and I guess they will approve my application. I got fed up with some people in the faculty and feel like gonna quit at that time...
But then, i got back to my sense, thus life has to be continued with or without the malicious people surround us.
and out of sudden, i was called for an interview for the Faculty's selected lecturer! darn! and this means more and more works to be done. I mean how on earth i am being selected for that category? My HOD must be in her impossible mood last time when she nominated me for the 'award" and next tuesday, I have to go for an interview with another 5 shorlisted candidates to convince the juries of my potential performance.. the question is Do i have one? wohaaaa... in silence i did curse my boss for submitting my name to the commitee.. I mean compared to other 'makan garam' lecturers.. i am still building mounds of salt hills instead of consuming em.. got what i meant?
Frankly speaking, I do enjoy teaching.. the students expressions on their face while gaping their mouths when I told them stories related to the syllabus is priceless. But there are several cases when they gaped their mouths as in snoring would just bring some irritation to anyone who teach them hahaha. but this is neither the time nor the trend of hitting their palm with the ruler anymore.. or make them stand on the chair as our primary school teachers did to us many moons ago.
Some of the students especially the guys are even taller than me.. ehem i am only 4'9" mind you..
But what enjoys me the most is seeing them expressed their ideas in various forms. I frequently ask them to do presentations in unconventional way. hence, they came up with scenarios, drama, pantomime etc, and the class will roar with laughter when they performed. Their acts were way better than the AF thingy or they can even beat the comedians in superspontan show hahaha.
hey wait... am i still on the same subject? Come to think of it, the chances of me being selected is like 0.0001%. How do you compare yourself with a pediatrician, ortopaedic surgeon, pathologist or family med doctor? I neither have their expertise nor experiences. Hmmm..
on a lighter note, I am going back for Eid-ul-Adha. We ll be having our 'korban' at the isolated kampung with beautiful sceneries ( I hope). None of my siblings will go back except me and my sister who is living with my mom. Anyway, she 'd be very busy with her stroke patients and i doubt whether she's be able to make it on that day. She has moved back to the general hospital which is only distance away from my parent's.
By the way, I ve been spending my weekend by making trifles, a type of simple pudding dessert. ever since I brought it to our dept meeting + potluck, a few have been requesting it from me. So i gave them for free, and with that my brother called me ' a trifle entrepreneur" hahaha.. I'd be so lazy to bake or make edible things and have to eat it by myself tho. My niece whom is in her fresh year is always unavailable and therefore, I cant ask her to spend her weekend with me.
I am still stuck with one thesis report and the faculty is very quiet on friday. I have 7 final year students who will be doing their projects under me. They came just now asking about their proposed project.To answer their questions about so many things have worn me out hahahaha.
taaa.. till next time
By the way.. i am a bit busy with classes, students and what else... more tests for the students. we are now in our 4th week, so there is another 10 more weeks to go before the semester ends.. wohooo...
I have submitted my sabbatical leave form and I guess they will approve my application. I got fed up with some people in the faculty and feel like gonna quit at that time...
But then, i got back to my sense, thus life has to be continued with or without the malicious people surround us.
and out of sudden, i was called for an interview for the Faculty's selected lecturer! darn! and this means more and more works to be done. I mean how on earth i am being selected for that category? My HOD must be in her impossible mood last time when she nominated me for the 'award" and next tuesday, I have to go for an interview with another 5 shorlisted candidates to convince the juries of my potential performance.. the question is Do i have one? wohaaaa... in silence i did curse my boss for submitting my name to the commitee..

Now and back then
I guess i m getting even lazier to post anymore.. yet i have time to watch the korean drama series which i am not able to catch up on tv.. duhhh
there's nothing interesting in life too.. as I lead one monotonous, boring life. I mean.. how would I go on and on with my work.. lectures are still lectures... students come and go.. i got fed up of my postgraduate students.. how many times i have been babbling about that?
does this world consist of non-stop complaining? should i rant about it again and again? nahhh i dont think so..
I guess i have lost the passion of writing.. I used to love writing... I wrote essays and fiction stories when i was younger.. hahaha
when i was on leave due to medical problems 20 years ago, i spent my time doing cross-stitch, wrote interesting articles to Jelita Magazine.. and they gave free gifts like a set of tupperware containers when the article got published. hahaha those were the time.. and every week I got to guess the list of the songs in Muzik Muzik.. and once i managed to get it right. and they gave me RM1000 for that...I remember i bought an exercise equipment with the money and treated my family with an enormous dinner..
and later i became fit to go back to school, soi neglected the hobby.
I guess my life was more interesting during those years.. we are not too engrossed with the internet.. there was no FB yet, and people do not post some weird status and post whatever unnecesary pictures.. ( ok i have to admit the reality btes when i watched lawak ke der 2 a few nites ago.. lol)
We lived in an honest and unpretentious world last time.Nowadays, I cant even ask my niece to chat with me when they always glue to their laptops 24/7.
Even people confide their feelings and how they felt in the internet..we may become advance in technology.. but our lives have not improvised..
am i complaining now? Darn...
ok enough crap..

Eid and Excuses
I guess I do not have the mojo anymore... Blog writing has become the bottom item in my to do list. What can I say.. Age is catching up with me. and every now and then, I hear news about more demises...
and that has made me think... we do not have tat much time... and it has even made me sick to the max when people keep on posting of what's happening all over the world in their FB. Its a reminder... yes.. I know that.. indeed..
Come to think of it, I should have become a recluse.. isolating myself from the community.. moving to another world which there are only animals and carnivores.. hey wait.. I might end up been eaten by them... okay.. next plan...
Frankly speaking... I am so tired.. I mean mentally tired..the only thing that would put smile to my face is when I am no longer making excuses for not doing things that I am supposed to do ( Okay.. blogging is not in my to do list).
Just a few hours ago, I received another ( and many more) excuses from a student who has disappeared for quite sometime.. without any news or progress. I emailed.. whats-apped.. called.. but to no avail. The last resort was by telling her friend that I m expecting some results on her project, which has been delayed too long after her wedding. and she emailed me with more excuses..
I do not want to start preaching. again with the klise line of.. "during my time... pbhttt"
I guess quitting is the trend nowadays...
Wait... making excuse is even more popular... and blaming others.. comes second..
Enough said...
Anyway.. on a happier note.. which has put a crooked smile on my face.. I managed to accomplish something that I dream/planned before. A few years ago, I posted something in here, and every year I dream of seeing it happened for real. And this year, when those 2 makciks came to collect their duit raya, I voiced out my idea to them, and they said, they ll ask around. I even gave my sister's hp no, as she would be around in KB, in case the ketua kampong calls him. A week after raya, they came back and updated the news. My father who is also into this idea, asked them to find the cow, if they ever knew any cow breeder. and just early this week, I got a call from my father saying that he was going to see the cow owner and at the same time purchase the cow for the korban. Looks like we are going to have a meaningful eid-ul-adha at the kampong this year.The kampong is actually far from my home and also quite far from the main road. and I know the people there will appreciate the korban performed by my family this year. And I can see that it is gonna be a yearly event for the incoming years. In shaa Allah.
Btw, last eid.. was the same as before. while everyone went to so many houses for makan2, I had my compulsory visit to the remaining aunts and uncles. And most of my time.. I spent it at home. It so happened that I am the only one who did not suffer from any diarrhea, emesis, sore throat or fever. owh well, celebrating the 1st Syawal doesn't mean that you r free to feast yourself with loads of food. moderate is more like it.. haha
The new semester is gonna start in a week time.. wohoooo... I am anticipating for the year to end.. as I ll be having my sabbatical leave then. Not sure where to during the leave thou.. maybe I am still stuck in here...
Last but not least...
Selamat Hariraya from the purple (la pulak) family.. pbhtttt... Thank God I was in a different color... a Raya theme is a big no no to me..:)

Iftar and demises..
I have several drafts which i never posted. whilst everyone keep on posting their menu for iftar everyday without fail, I never had enough courgae to post my daily iftar menu, as i have to admit I am not a good cook. I never want to bake as I do not like any sweet cakes. the only cakes that I eat are the traditional bahulu, and the traditional steamed cakes which we called it as "ambong'.
Last year, thinking that my knee was still weak to cook for iftar, i ordered the food from an online service, called 'mangku* tingka*'. It was such a bad service as some days they just cancelled the service due to the lack of despatchers. the menu was terrible too. It came with such a tiny portion, and with the cost that they charged, i assumed that I ll get better food. therefore, half of the fasting month, i had to order from pizza hut delivery service. owh well, lesson learnt duhhh...
This year... i ve been cooking everyday.. there's nothing to brag about tho, as it is only meant for one mout.. yes... moi...
the problem with me is, i do not know how to cook for one person, ended up, i have to eat the same food for days. and i kept on repeating the same menu as those are the dishes that I do not mind having it every alternate days hahaha.
Btw, tesco online made my life much easier ni, as i am able to order mygrocery online,and i guess i am now addicted to it as i ve been ordering the grocery online every fortnite hahaha ( mati la bangkrup nanti). the only thing lacking is, all those poultries and fishes come unprocessed. whilst, in a normal mini market, we can ask them to clean em for us. So far, my iftar menu consists of grilled chicken, grilled fish, sea food tom yam,spicy sambal chicken, spicy sambal sotong, chicken soup, cabbage pickles and mixed vege. once a week, i had fried kue teow, fried mee hoon, spaghetti... come to think of it, it was indeed a long list.. hahaha
during sahur.. owh well.. i woke up for sahur without fail. there were some leftovers from the iftar, so i dont have any problem to eat sahur.. I had preserved fruit pickles, dried fish pickles, beef floss from hometown.. yes, those are the things that would increase your appetite during sahur...
Btw, next week will be the last week before going back to hometown.
on a heavier note, there were too many demises in the family for the past few months. 2 months ago, my youngest aunt from mom's side passed away, when we were in Turkey at that time. and 2 days ago, my 2nd youngest aunt's husband passed away due to lung cancer with brain metastasis. it came quite a schoked to all of us, as he was diagnosed after my cousin realised that his speech was quite slurred after he came back from umrah last may. thinking that it was an early symptom of stroke, my sister asked him to go to husm for a further check up. a few days later, my cousin called my sister again, narrating an amnesic incident of an uncle this time. he had a ct scan later, when the doctors told us, it was secondary brain metastasis. everyone in the family was so nervous, cos we never thot that he had cancer and the big question mark was, where was the primary one? after underwent a contra- ct scan, it was comfirmed, he had lung cancer stage 4, and it has already metastasized to brain. we didnt know it till it was too late :(
he never showed any symptoms, and he was normally thin back then, so we never thot.........
The brain rapidly degenerated,, and before we knew, he could not recognise any of us anymore..
he passed away last friday, on the day of nuzul quran...It's gonna feel awkward when we visit my aunt this coming raya.
sooner or later, we re going there too. I only want to give as many good deeds to my parents before the time's come.... when they are still alive.. those are the things that we, the chldrens should do, before it is too late.
Anyway...Selamat HariRaya to everyone... May we have a blessed and meaningful eid this year..
Taa.

Viva Istanbul
Hi..
Safely arrived in KLIA from Istanbul on the early dawn yesterday. am still on leave today, as I need to gain as much strength for the tasks starting tomorrow.There'd be paper markings, viva, thesis reading and the list goes on and on..
On a happier note, i did enjoy Istanbul and Izmir, tho I never got to visit most of the tourists attraction. and I guess this is the first trip that i did not spend much on shopping. when u r with elderly people, u cant go anywhere as much as u wanted, and need to attend them. Its ok. I am actually learning something from this trip, and patience is one of them :)
Next trip... ermm.. maybe Tunisia or Albania..and it will only happen next year. I need to start saving thou..
Till then..

Wake me up when the year ends..
Anyong ha seyo :)
No, I m neither in Seoul nor in any area nearby this K-pop country..
I am still at home..spending the rest of the weekend peacefully..I totally agree with the idea of recharging yourself on weekends and start your first gear back in the beginning of the week.
I guess i m getting older (undoubtedly) and eventually losing my energy and with that I have to conserve the remaining of my energy for something which i plan long time ago. Previous week was so darn hectic. and when the internet was unavailable at work, I felt like crying for no reason and blame on the administration for giving me so many deadlines.. ( I m such a drama queen).
Hahah no, i didnt blame anyone, but me. I thought I ve been working hard enough, but still I couldnt finish it on time. Since last week marked the final week before the final exam, all events were held on the same day, but at different time.
I went to a seminar on tuesday while neglecting the viva voce session on the same day. My disappearance somehow went unnoticed.. hahaha.. so much for thinking that I am such an important person for the event. Anyway, we have 25 other assessors, so my comment was not that crucial tho..
I rushed back rite after lunch tho, to attend another proposal presentation. and the next day, i have another proposal presentation for the whole morning. on thursday and friday, i had the time to key-in the attendance, marks etc, before they closed the portal. and then i noticed that there are 3 students whom are not able to sit for the final exam. They do not fulfill the requirement of 80% attendance to be able to sit for the finals. Major disaster!!
.. and this is the perfect time i should write... "during my time, such things were not happened at all.. bla bla bla".
The problematic students, one of them is a girl whom has created so much headache to other lects. She claimed that she is not able to attend classes as she need to give injection to her father ( i think its due to diabetes, and her father only wants her to perform that, not others, and because of that she cant attend the classes.
Can you believe that? I mean, why her father has turned so selfish and wants his daughter to inject him? and the next thing i heard, she was somewhere in Japan during the semesters, and she must be having good time as she posted her pics in her FB.
when i counted how many times did she really attend the class, it was only in the beginning of the semester, tho she did show herself during the tests. she failed both tests tho.
During my time (here is goes again lol), nobody bothered if you were absent for a whole semester, its your doing, so you must accept the consequence. but nowadays, we have the ISO, and u have to give full concerns with these kind of students. not that our concern will make them a lot better and improvised,. yet, its best if they got kicked outta university bcos they are such spoilt brats.
even during the class, you can see students go in and out without reasons, eating and talking right infront of your nose. and when u warned them, you ll be in their black book, and you will be also poorly evaluated by them. Education nowadays.. *sighing*
and when u give exm questions which need them to think a bit, an applied questions, they will report us to the academic division, that we did not give them any notes on that question., and how they supposed to answer it when its not in the lecture *rolling eyes*
I wonder, is this why there are major increment of students who obtain more straight As nowadays, because they only memorize what they read.
Ok, enough with the blabbering..
I have gotten Task 2 from the teamleader and the deadline is on 21st June. I ll be doing more readings as there are10 disruptors and their protein targets need to be cross validating. and many more to come in July.. and that makes me.. ermm all work and no play makes me a dull one? lol
I am already dull with or without works..
till then..

If i could ease the pain... but the ego hurt the most
How do you feel when you have to lie down on bed for 5 months, with your leg fully bandaged, and you cant even squeeze your toe, bcos your leg was so fu&kingly hurt and you have to wail yourself out every morning when it's time for a dressing.
And you dream of tossing and turning on bed like you used to do. whilst at the same time you ve been lying on the same side forever, and GOD knows how sore your body was due to the similar awkward position that you have to bear for 5 months
To top it up, you have bedsore, pressure sores in both of your calves and you cant even put your feets properly on bed due to the wound..
to worsen it all, you have every feeling-less and empathy-less HO who poke your every vein and artery in your body, without even looking at the pathetic patient's face. and when they cant get the blood outta vein, they scolded you for being agitated, and never want to admit that they are suck in that particular procedure.
yet, there is one or two who really respect the patients and will drop by every now and then and asked how the patients felt.
When others are so stuck up, and boasted about their med degree obtained from university of liver pool .. pbhhhttt..
Indeed, i suffered. not because of the pain and wound and all. but the 'well mannerism' of those Houseman officers whom think that they are all qualified to bark, torture and neglect the patients' feelings.
You have taken your Hippocrates oath and within a year, you totally forgot about it.
I lost count of all the HOs whom i met and yet, I only remember these 2 sweetest HO who treated me as a human being. I have even confidently told them, that they ll become great doctors later.
Anyway, this happened almost 3 years ago, and the memories suddenly came to me, when i take a look at those HUGE scars on my leg, as reminder that i ve been there and felt that.
and that reminds me of an HO who ignored me thou i begged him not to poke me on the artery of my leg, I even begged him not to poke me anymore after unsuccessful countless times, and asked him to call someone else who is more expert, but he ignored me and he did that, and again it was another unsuccessful attempt. with tears brimming on my cheek, he continued doing that until another HO stepped in and took over the procedure. He left without even apologizing.
and that is how efficient he is..
I still remember his face and i wish i can see him back and giving him 2 pieces of my mind. Just you wait. I know that you d not gonna be a great doc with your kind of darn attitude..
on another note, the scar is looking much better now. I can even feel it at times, and some muscles is getting stronger by day. I am now using the leg as often as i could to strengthen it. It still an ugly sight to look infront of the mirror thou, but I ll survive.
Taaa

As expected i spent all day to attend a viva which took half day and a faculty meeting which lasted till 5.. sob sob. so much for carrying my laptop all the way from home, when all i got to write was just a few lines.

I got the grant.. yess! and with that I d gotta start looking for the future postgrads..Anyone interested? hehehe you d be rewarded with monthly lunch treat at Red Wok hahaha. ok.. not funny.

depressed...
Remember the task that I am supposed to submit tomorrow? well, i had accomplished the task earlier, when the team leader told me that he only wanted me to name the disruptor and its protein target, that's all. so i submitted mine 2 weeks ago. there are still several members who re still not clear with what they r supposed to do.. so they inquired the team leader in the email which can be read by everyone who's involved. I told my colleague, he should ask earlier, and why he did that in the last minute hahhaha. i m so glad i ve accomplished mine.
and this morning, the first thing i read when i opened my email was, the team leader instructed me to explain why did i chose that particular disruptor for my area and please include all the references that can support my proposal. and he wanted everything by tomorrow... huwaaaa
there's one thing that i always want to avoid... ie doing things at the last minute. I know i still have 24 more hours to do it, and he just wanted a short explanation regarding that.
I remembered i read everything related with that, but i have a big problem of compiling all those informations and come up with just one conclusion. It was killing me, so i spent half day to read and browse thru all the journal, but i still have no idea how to start it.
asked for a one day extension, tho, tomorrow will be spent in the viva and the fac meeting. and the day after tomorrow, i am supposed to take blood tests and xray prior to my rheumy appointment.
i felt like crying when i cant even foucs on my readings today as students kept on coming into my room. ...
owh well, this is too depressing to continue..
sob sob...
why cant he asked me much earlier for the task,...
i m feeling so demotivated now...

words arent enough..
Oh my.. it's mid may already? what have i been doing for the past few weeks? Life seems to pass by in a speed-like nowadays. All I could remember was, before the D-Day, i got to lecture for a few hours, and in the afternoon, invigilate the exam. and in between, i was too occupied to notice what i ve completed. Come Friday, i was in KLIA, catching an early flight to KB. on the D-Day itself, i had an early queue at the saluran 3, for the poll, whilst my parents were downstairs in a longer queue. we did come early, but it seemed that everybody had the same thought as us. I had to wait for 1/2 hours for ma and bak to finish. Cma e across a neighbour at the saluran 1, whom queued along with the parents. Looked like she knew quite a lot about me when she suddenly asked me regarding the incoming trip. "Are you going there to study?" she asked me and I shook my head so hard while glancing at mom.
We had breakfast, at one of the indian restaurant, and I had tosai. Later, i found out that mom was the one who told our incoming trip to the neighbour. and it was quite surprising as mom is not a person who like to boast about her children.
" It was tiring to listen to her boasting about her daughter", and priorly mom told us that the neighbour was telling her about her visit to KL, to take care of her daughter whom recently underwent angiogram. since the neighbour went on and on about her KL visit, mom cant take it anymore, so outta blue, she blurted" I am going to KL too next month, as my daughter is taking us to Istanbul" . hahahaha.
She also felt like adding " what's the fuss about taking care of your daughter in KL, as i went to and fro for 5 months taking care of me 2 years ago,"
Indeed, she was. I was hospitalized for 5 months in HUKM, and my mom was with me during my critical time, for 5 months. In one of the surgery, i was pushed over and i looked so pale, that she volunteered to be with me that night. knowing her condition,which was not that stable, with hypertension and all, i told her to go back, as I can manage my self. but she did that nite, lying on the cold floor in the ward.
back to the d-day, ...
in the afternoon, mom got a call from her sister, regarding her youngest sister, who is also staying in the sister's house. My youngest aunt, has been diagnosed of schizoprenia for almost 15 years. Her condition worsen each year,and last year, we managed to bring her outta house for treatment. Before that, she was in denial, and shooed us of everytime we asked her to go to the hospital. The condition was stable for a few months, until recently, my aunt noticed that her youngest schizoprenic sister did not take her medication anymore. to cut the story short, we managed to take her to my mom's. and my sister, has brought her to the hospital last monday. we have decided to take her to old folk's home, as that is the only option now. My mom and her other normal sisters are too old to take care of her. and I am quite worried that my mom's BP will drastically increase after this. However, the procedure will take quite sometime, so in the mean time, she is staying at my mom's.
on monday morning, i came back via the earliest flight to KL, thinking that monday will be a public holiday for selangor. It was, but the Dean emailed in the early morning, instructing us to work as usual. since i was half way to home already, i asked the cab driver to drop me at the faculty. There was no one in the faculty, only a few staffs who might have read the email, and while i was there, i just finished a few tasks till 5. and guess what? they later announced that monday was a public holiday and for those who worked on that day, they will have and unrecorded leave. very clever rite.. and tell me, when should i insert the leave in between my working days as i always have appntments,lectures or vivas or bla bla bla, every day.
I seriously need a holiday. I m having the back pain, waist pain and knee pain frequently nowadays.
owh a sudden ending..

Rest and Digest :)
Sunday morning again!!
Eh, correction.. sunday afternoon.. seems like a few hours has passed since i woke up, watched tv ( while having breakfast), showered, hesitated between doing house chores and transforming to a couch potato all day long... I voted the latter..:)
Anywayy, life was hectic as usual. I had like a few hours lecture on tuesday, and been doing my homework ( of reading some more articles ), whilst cursing myself in between the readings for being too challenging haha
The teamleader finally replied to my email asking for an extension for the task. It seemed that my email has straightly went into his junk, which explained his silence all these while.
He apologized for that and told me that he can only extend it till the end of May. So i replied back saying that i thought he purposely ignored me for the illogical request that I made. anyway, i told him that i have already obtained some ideas about the chemical disruptot and its protein target, yet I am still having difficulties to put all the ideas on paper, with all those lectures and exams and viva which need my particular attention.
and he replied back that i do not have to write a paper as he only wants the name of the disruptor and its target. That's all!
hahaha... I was so worried that i didnt digest his email clearly.. yes.. i did come across his request in the earlier emails, but since he attached another document which i went thru later, and in the document itself, they asked everyone in the team to put all the ideas in a format attached.
It seems that, i do not have to do that yet. That is only applied to other 11 teams, and in our team's part, we need to do a lot of cross check in validating their ideas, and that particular task will start onve we have all the fed backs from all 11 teams.
So, I am so relieved with that, and i intend to submit mine next week. Yeay!!!
No more flight or fight response, yet i am only into rest and digest now lol.
and as I will only let my parasympathetic system works from now on, I wont have anymore of the panic attack, even though I ll have 4 hrs lecture which start at 8 tomorow morning.
On an interesting? note, I am going back to KB for the election. I have no idea, where did I get so much excitement in wanting to vote this year, tho I did not in the previous election. This will be my 2nd time tho. I have taken this effort to go back, whilst during previous election, I never bother to go back, hahaha
well who knows, my vote will actually determine who's the parliament member selected in my area.. (dream on pbhhtt)
My mom has been asking me whether I will be voting at the same area as theirs. I told her, that i have voted once and I remembered going with her to the same school to vote last time. and she was like "did you?"
With that, I have to logon to SPR website again to check whether I am still able to vote this year...

Adrenalin rush
Saturday morning!! (ok, it is afternoon already.. how time flies)
Weekends are supposed to be spent loitering infront of the idiot box, by changing its channel every 5 minutes. No lunch included.
Yes.. that's how I defined my kind of weekend. It should not be spent by triggering my adrenaline as I have yet to write a review paper less than a month!)
.. and am sorry Mr Weekend, I do not have time to even turn on the tv as I am now extremely occupied with a lot of readings and to understand what I ve been reading...
Ok, I lied. I did turn on the tv this morning, but it bored me off as every one in the tv are so busy elaborating on the incoming election.
Whats with me having a hectic schedule for the next incoming weeks, I know I won't have time to steal some working time allocated for this task.
I should not have 'gatal' applied for this work in the first place.
But then, a year ago i did not have much work to be done, nor any lectures to be delivered.
So here I am, burning the'midnight' oil inpretending trying to accomplish this given task. I know, by completing this paper, they will actually review my performance laterwhether I d be able to retain in the team.
Nevertheless, I ll give it a try, need to finish it by a help from a colleague, but if this paper is not up to their standard, I will not have any regret if they just exclude me from the team later on.
ok.. back to some more readings..

Far and Away
I noticed that there are people who actually read my old posts back in 2005. Whoever you are, please dun do that. To date, my life is actually changing 360 degree from the previous. I should have deleted al the ancient posts and only concentrate on the new and upcoming ones. yet honestly, there are still the remnants of yesterday that i want to preserve, be it was too cruel, sad or happy.
Ok, back to year 2013..
I lost my room key, and it is so weird as remember I drop it in my tote after locking the room, waited for the cab, reached home, put the tote without taking anything out, took it back this morning, and when i scruffled inside the tote, it was missing. Grrr.. Luckily there is a spare key in the office and I managed to go in, after 30 mins. and I am still thinkng about the key.. where the hell are you key.. should I call CSI then.. lol ( okay.. not funny)
HBO is now airing good movies early in the morning, and I managed to watch like 1/4 of ir before rushing to work. Today was Far and Away, with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman starred in it. The movie was a talk in town back in late90s I guess, as I remembered I was still doing my Masters at UKM at that time. and was it later that they coupled? (or was it prior to the movie)
Never mind, who cares if Nicole and Tom have become couple since then? as I yet, have to find a life partner lol.
Ehem.. what a confession pbhttt!
Recently, I registered on this one muslim marriage website. been reading various profiles, which are are rather annoying and irritating. I mean, they have been boasting of how pious they are, developing 100 hobbies at the same time, permanent gym freaks, and they end their profiles by " looks do not matter, and pictures would be deceiving, but hearts are not yada yada", yet when I asked to look for ther pics, nobody bother to reply, in fact even rejected my requests..
okay, fine then. Do I look that pathethic and desperate?
Got bored of them anyway. Anyhoo, I could ave said that I have made a tiny effort in seeking a lifepartner.. nah... it sounds ridiculous tho.. I mean by advertising yourself at the website? Erkkk...
Come to think of it. i dont think it will be a fruitful effort later, owhh just forget about it... (erased)
Last week, i heard a 90s song sung by ( cant remember his name), but surprisingly, I can still remember the lyrics.. and I asked my student" do you know this song", and she shook her head, and it just strck my mind that I am OLD.. lol
My student n her 20s did not know any of this song, yet it seems like yesterday, I was listening to the song while finshing my assgnment.. oh my... I am such an OLD SCHOOL lol
I grew with back Street Boys, NKOTB, GUys next door, just to name a few. back then, the songs have good qualitiies and u tend to recite the lyrics, whilst nowadays, who cares about the hip hop or talking songs lol
owh ok.. I rest my case.. I have a few hours class this afternoon

Post-birthday
Morning peoples :)
Its been almost than 3 weeks after my birth-day. Nothing much to boast about being 45 lol
Anyway, for the past few weeks, I have classes mostly everyday. The reason is.. i have to replace 17 hrs-lectures and squeeze the normal 14 weeks-lecture to 7 weeks!
They are the 1st year medical students, and of course their schedules are totally different from the normal semester schedules.
I have other lectures tat I need to deliver as well..
No.. I am not complaining tho..
The 'good' thing is, they get to meet me so often, and thus, i have reminded them earlier that " i ll see u more often that you see your mom, so I hope you will bear it with me"
They even asked me to do unethical thing like skipping classes lol, and i gave then a one hour lecture of ethics lol
Owh, what's new in here?
Yeah, the hottest issue is , we ll have an election in probably 3 weeks time! yeay!
i have decided that i should do my responsibility as a good citizen tis year,so I am going to elect.
The previous election, i did not manage to go back home ( as my electing place is at my hometown) since it was held on working day. whom I gonna vote for? That would be a top secret hahaha.
My FB has been tarnished by all those propagandas and people who are so engrossed into this issue. and I found it so irritating as they tend to enlarge and worsen the issue by their own disgusting standard.
(pause for a laundry)
one a lighter note, ( is it?)
my feet swells since last week. but still i managed to go the lectures with me limping all the way..Hope it will be much better when i m going back for an election at the end of the month..
Hmm.. nothing interesting happened when i m so bz with classes. life is so hectic that I ll sleep instantly when my head touched the pillow.
Come to think of it, i know i m such a boring people as my life only revolves work, work and works..
Love life? should I have one lol. I guess the one who is going to be my love partner will be dying of boredom if he'd ever known me
Health wise, i think i am still gaining on. i do not know why but i can feel my heavy body without even peeping on the weighing scale, and i have just read that by consuming enbrel might also contributing to my weigh gain..
it is so gloomy now, i think it is gonna rain soon.. oh my laundry :)
I should post more frequent I guess.. but by leading this so called life,, what else could i put on this blog?
Hmm..
ok.. till then
Its been almost than 3 weeks after my birth-day. Nothing much to boast about being 45 lol
Anyway, for the past few weeks, I have classes mostly everyday. The reason is.. i have to replace 17 hrs-lectures and squeeze the normal 14 weeks-lecture to 7 weeks!
They are the 1st year medical students, and of course their schedules are totally different from the normal semester schedules.
I have other lectures tat I need to deliver as well..
No.. I am not complaining tho..
The 'good' thing is, they get to meet me so often, and thus, i have reminded them earlier that " i ll see u more often that you see your mom, so I hope you will bear it with me"
They even asked me to do unethical thing like skipping classes lol, and i gave then a one hour lecture of ethics lol
Owh, what's new in here?
Yeah, the hottest issue is , we ll have an election in probably 3 weeks time! yeay!
i have decided that i should do my responsibility as a good citizen tis year,so I am going to elect.
The previous election, i did not manage to go back home ( as my electing place is at my hometown) since it was held on working day. whom I gonna vote for? That would be a top secret hahaha.
My FB has been tarnished by all those propagandas and people who are so engrossed into this issue. and I found it so irritating as they tend to enlarge and worsen the issue by their own disgusting standard.
(pause for a laundry)
one a lighter note, ( is it?)
my feet swells since last week. but still i managed to go the lectures with me limping all the way..Hope it will be much better when i m going back for an election at the end of the month..
Hmm.. nothing interesting happened when i m so bz with classes. life is so hectic that I ll sleep instantly when my head touched the pillow.
