PhD: To go or not to go

Next year giliran PhD for both me and husband dah tiba. huhu..i still remember my entry earlier this year that no matter what i must go for PhD next yr. well...that was before Nurul Qystina came into my life. Now, i'm not sure to go for PhD or not next year.

The reason why i'm so berbelah bahagi is only one: whose going to take care of my baby when both me and hubby are studying?? PhD is very serious business and need full concentration and i definitely want to do well. but friends from oversea said it definitely not easy when both parents are studying: not easy for the parents and the children. often, studying couples needed help to babysit their children. Free of charge nurseries are available in UK, but only for children 3 years old and above. Some couples bring their sis/mother/relative with them to oversea. that is a good idea, except that i don't have any younger sister, my mom and mom in law are unable to come with me and i don't have any close single female relative. so the only alternative i have is to hire a nanny/helper. but that's out of the questions since my list of requirements for a nanny/helper are too long that i don't think anyone could fill it! hehe.

So i'm now in a dilemma.. actually i already made a decision: to follow one of my motto; family comes first. But i'm still not sure it's the best decision..i guess the right thing to do now is to pray and ask for guidance from the Almighty. Whichever path that Allah SWT allow me to take, i'm sure that's the best for me and my beloved family..

senaman dalam kereta

Travel jauh2 dengan kereta memang memenatkan. Berikut adalah langkah-langkah senaman ringan yg boleh dilakukan di dalam kereta untuk mengurangkan penat dan meregangkan badan :)

1. Angkat kaki kiri..



2.Pegang betis dengan tangan kiri..kira sampai 8



3. Selepas itu, pegang dengan tangan kanan pula dan stretch kaki sampai rasa regangan pada lutut..kira lapan lagi



4. angkat lagi tinggi kaki kiri,dan kira 8 lagi


5. Kemudian ulang dengan kaki kanan

6. Tapi,jangan over do it, nanti kalau dah jadi camni,kena mintak tlg ummi betulkan balik kedudukan



selamat mencuba!hehehe

beauty of mathematics??

Got this through email recently:

Beauty of Mathematics !!!!!!!

> 1 x 8 + 1 = 9
> 12 x 8 + 2 = 98
> 123 x 8 + 3 = 987
> 1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
> 12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
> 123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
> 1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
> 12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
> 123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321


> 1 x 9 + 2 = 11
> 12 x 9 + 3 = 111
> 123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
> 1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
> 12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111

> 9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
> 98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888

Brilliant, isn't it?

And look at this symmetry:

> 1 x 1 = 1
> 11 x 11 = 121
> 111 x 111 = 12321
> 1111 x 1111 = 1234321
> 11111 x 11111 = 123454321
> 111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
> 1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
> 11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
> 111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321

Now, take a look at this...

101%
From a strictly mathematical viewpoint: What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
We have all been in situations where someone wants you to GIVE OVER 100%.
How about ACHIEVING 101%?
What equals 100% in life?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help answer these questions:

If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 2324 25 26.

If:
H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K

8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%

And:

K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E

11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 =96%

But:

A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E

1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%

THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:

L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D

12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%

Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:

While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!


p.s.: mathematicians please comment. cik fizz..sile komen :)
Agaknye org yg discover benda ni dah xde keje lain nk buat kut..sy tak prnh terfikir nak mengkaji nombor sampai sebegitu sekali.hehe

wira kembali!

selsema...puasa

Last week tak sempat nak mengupdate blog sebab bz ngan keje n tak berapa sihat.setelah bertahun2 tak diserang selsema, last week kena selsema, batuk n sakit tekak.adoi..sy ni jenis yg susah nak dpt selsema n demam. i can't remember when was the last time i got flu. kalau tak salah zaman2 blaja dulu.luper dah macamana seksanya kena flu.huhuhu. paling susah time nak ngaja le.suara takdek, sampai 1 tahap tu terpaksa berhenti jap, minum air, sebab tekak sakit sgt n batuk tak berhenti2. kelakar tul!

hmm..skrg ni my selsema dah ok, tp yg sedihnye my baby lak dpt selsema n batuk tu..kesian betul kt die! punya la elakkan die dari menjangkit, last2 kene jugak..mana taknya, my hubby pun turut kena selsema, so kuasa kuman tu 2 kali ganda, memang akan kene jugak la baby tu..hari jumaat haritu start selsemanya n dah gi klinik swasta last saturday, tp tak berkesan langsung ubat yg dr. bg, makin teruk adela! my poor baby, td bawak gi klinik kerajaan pulak..harap2 pasni sembuhla hendaknya..tak lalu la nak tgk die batuk2..she's too small to have selsema! nasib baik tak demam, cuma demam sikit je hari sabtu tu. apela ummi ni, bawak penyakit kat baby qyst.huhuhu :(

hari ni dah hari kedua puasa..semalam berbuka masak sebab cuti.hari ni start keje, so start la mengunjungi pasar ramadhan..tak sempat + tak larat nak memasak + nak membantu usahawan bumiputra (macam2 alasannnn!!) harap2 puasa kali ini lebih baik dan lebih terisi berbanding puasa tahun lepas.. lg satu, harap2 tahun ini dapatla khatam quran bulan puasa ni.tiap2 kali puasa niat nak khatam quran, tp slalu tak tercapai..ntah mana silapnya.insyaAllah, tahun ini cuba sedaya upaya :)

selamat berpuasa to all..meriahkan puasa ini dengan amal ibadat, dan pelihara kesucian bulan ini dengan menjauhi perkara2 yang tidak baik :)

Why in the world did they delay the Half-Blood Prince??

Since June, i've been waiting for Half-Blood Prince (HBP) to come.siap frust lg sbb terlupa nak bwk dvd harry potter blk kpg, konon2 nak "mengulangkaji" HP yg dulu2. tunggu punya tunggu, dah masuk bln 8, xkuar2 lg..baby qyst pun dah kuar dah, HBP xkuar2 lg..

tup2 few days ago, dlm buletin utama kata the release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is postponed to July 19, 2009.uwaaaa!!!!!!!! why?? why?? why o why did they delay it?? nxt year..lmbt lg tu! adoii..lg stahun kene tggu.

surf2 internet,ade yg kate the delay was caused by writers' strike last year. penulis2 skrip hollywood mogok..nak gaji lebih last year(by the way, that's also the reason why heroes season 2 only has 10 episodes). ade plak yg kate dierg delay because Dan Radcliffe will be on Broadway in the fall performing (naked) in a play - Equus.so konon2 takut jejas jualan HBP..ntahle betul ke x..

tp reason yg boleh dikira plg logik skali ialah warner bros nak kutip lebih banyak duit! simple but believable reason- money! (sumber:http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/herocomplex/2008/08/potter-delay-is.html)
kalau tak, HBP nak kuar later this year in fall, but since a summer blockbuster is far more menguntungkan daripada fall blockbuster, so WB nak postpone la tayangan HBP tu ke summer nxt year..supaya lebih ramai tgk cite tu kt wayang.huhu. dierg xtau ke, kt negara2 cam m'sia ni yg ade cume ade musim panas n ujan spnjg tahun ni suke tgk movie all year round. xde bermusim de..

so all HP fans out there sabo2 la yer..one more year to go! oh ye, dah dkt setahun dah book 7 kuar ek, mesti harga dah murah sket kan? paper-back version pun mesti dah kuar..ok la nak beli la.hahaha.. although i'm a fan, tp belum beli lg book 7 sebab kedekut duit! (hape punye fan la ni..) xnak bayar mahal2 for the hard-cover version.huhuhu

i'm back

Assalamualaikum..

isy2..lamenyelaaaa tak mencoret kat blog nih..2 months dah :) mase maternity leave mane sempat nak berblog2 ni, kt rmh parents pun xde intenet..today i start working, baby pun arini start hantar taska..arini blk opis byk gile memos and emails..malas nak tgk lg, byk sangat!

alhamdulillah, tiny baby qyst was born on 17th june 08. weighting only 2.6 kg, to me she was the most beautiful little angle i have ever seen..memule cam xcaye gak, betui ke dah ade baby nih? mcm baru je lg preknen, tup2 baby dah ade kt tangan dah..dah jd ummi dah rupenye! hehehe. even some of my family members pun cam xcaya je i dah jadi ummi. so far alhamdulillah, baby qyst sehat. masa dlm pantang suke nangis2 gak, terutama malam2..kekadang sampai kul 5 pg!biasela baby..tp skrg dah kurang sket nangis2nye, dah besar sket dah..

ok, enough about baby qyst, cite psl die tu sampai esok pg pun xkan abis.huhu..i came back here 3 weeks earlier..so hari2 dok rmh, layan tv jelaaa kejenye bile baby tido n keje rmh dh siap wat. sempatla hari2 layan olympic last week. selain tgk olimpik, layan laaa tgk cite mcm2 kt astro tu. oprah la, greys anatomy la, E.R la, friends la..mcm2. xde la boring sgt. klu kt kpg dulu,xdela kerap tgk tv, agaknye sbb xde astro kut..lgpun kt kpg xdela boring sgt sbb ade my mom n nyah.

smlm tgk badminton, huh! so frustrating to watch lee c.w play! kalah terlalu mudah! sedih tgk harapan pingat emas m'sia terkubur. i really didn't expect him to play that bad, coz he's a great player..lg pun mmg tu jela harapan m'sia nak dpt emas pertama..sedih2.tp nak wat camne kan, maybe too much pressure kut? but nontheless congrat n thank u to him for putting m'sia's name on the senarai negara2 yg ada pingat.td dengar radio, m'sia no 53 kut kalau xsalah..no comment!

ok la ngantuk dah..nak rest jap.arini xde keje pun nak buat lg, just checking emails je..huhu..jam dah menunjukkan pkl 3.30..lg sejam stgh je lg nak gi amik baby qyst.huhu..cepat2la masa berlalu

let's go home

insyaAllah,tomorrow i'll be going back to my hometown,taking leave until my baby comes out.sadly there's no internet at my parent's house so i won't be updating this blog for a while.. camne ye, 2 bln lebih tanpa internet? must be akward.hehe. but nevermind, when my baby comes out nanti i'm sure i'll be busy with her, and no time for anything else :)

so i'm signing off here, till i come back to work in august insyaAllah..doakan semuanya selamat..
bye2

i hate waiting!

one of my flaw is that i really hate waiting. i just can't stand waiting too long for something. i'm a bit impatient.huhu..

earlier today i went to the hospital, to see O&G as part of regular checkup. it was a nightmare! on the appointment letter, my appmnt was at 9 a.m. so i bertolak from home at 8 a.m., sampai jer, tgk2 org dah penuh..so penuh, sampai kena berdiri menunggu giliran! yg peliknya, sampai2 tu kena letak dl buku checkup tu dlm kotak, since my appmnt was 9am, so i put it in the 9am labelled box. then kena tggu the kerani call your name. that took abount an hour. then she gave your nombor giliran. mine was 3077, and current number is 3032.hah! berpuluh2 lagi tu..

so kena la duduk lg...tunggu lg..after an hour, again they called my name. kena gi timbang,take urine sample and blood pressure. kelakar betul, in the toilet, kene menunggu plak nurse tu datang ambil urine sample tu..ramai giler beratur dlm toilet tu. after that, kena tunggu lg about half an hour or so, barula nombor naik..barula can see the pakar O&G. pakar tu xdela cek best sgt pun, just belek2 buku rawatan, tanya2 psl my health, then scan the baby. sekejap sgt! xsampai 10 minit dah selesai! menunggu punya la lama, xberbaloi betul rasanya! wasting my precious time. kalau 2 jam stengah tu, i was in my office, macam2 kerja i could do! buang masa...

i ingatkan masa menunggu hosp. krjn has been reduced to 30 minutes per patient? more like 2 hours to me.hmm..the people in charge in this matter should pay more attention on this matter.they should put their feet in our shoes. penat wooo for pregnant mother nak menungu..like me for example, awal2 tu sebab terlalu ramai kena berdiri dkt stgh jam, barula dpt duduk, itupun one of the nurse sediakan kerusi tambahan utk duduk. lenguh kaki berdiri xleh nak cite la..tambah2 dah time2 sarat camni. yg peliknya, bilik dr. ada 9, and inside the room ada 2 doktor, but why the waiting time was still long???? misteri betul!

hmm...waiting..waiting..waiting.. mana2 pi pun still kena menunggu! xpela, nxt week dah nak cuti, balik kpg, nak rehat2, sambil menunggu my baby comes out..waiting lagi! tp this is the only waiting that i don't mind :)

face change again..

My blog berubah lg..hehe. this time i designed the header myself (sebab tu nampak cam xperfect jer) and match it with suitable body, background and text colour. nampak cam serabut ke kaler oren tu? gambar bunga tu i found somewhere in cyberspace, then i change the colour a bit then did some more editing until it became a header (using photoshop).

but this layout is not complete yet. i still don't know how to change the main body background to picture instead of plain colour. tadi dah try, tp xperfect, jadi ntah ape2 tah, pening kpale, malas nak buat dah..nanti bile dah blaja menda tu insyaAllah, this blog's layout akan berubah lg..kirenye ni my own blog layout versi beta la ni..akan di upgrade to full version later, hopefully.

rezki yg tak disangka

IELTS result was out today.i got more than i expected. Alhamdulilliah..rezki baby la tu, sama2 studi ngan ummi die, sama2 amik exam aritu :) i scored in both reading n listening.speaking n writing, dapat band yg tinggi dr what i expected. especially speaking. sebab aritu rasa cam mengarut je banyak. tp rasanya mmg die not too strict for speaking tu la, sebab ramai yg sblm2 ni amik IELTS pun speaking dpt OK gak. agaknya die just want to see sama ada kite boleh bercakap or tak je kut..as for writing, ms amik exam tu, dpt tajuk yg OK, utk task 1 line graph, task 2 pun boleh goreng la isi die..alhamdulillah.

tp aritu mmg study hard utk the exam.yg secara intensifnya 2 mggu terakhir before the exam. bahan2 utk study banyak,dpt dari intenet, mrs ema, miss D, miss fizz. itupun xsempat buat semua, sebab xcukup masa. tp mmg need A LOT of exercise. kawan2 yg nak amik IELTS nanti, u must do a lot of practice,make sure cover everything, n pay extra attention to the part that you're weak. for me that would be TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN for reading, labeling a map for listening, and of course both writing task!

for writing tu, i studied dgn cara i wrote my essay then compared it with band 9 answer. of course, kite punye akan jauh beza from the band 9 answer, mmg menyedihkan, but then dari situ la kite blh tgk apa kelemahan kite n try to improve. one more thing, kene la rajin2kan diri study balik grammar.ada markah tau for grammar n vocab.. i admit, my grammar is just so-so, slalu gak wat silap :) To improve vocab: hmmm..yg ni susah sket, kene le rajin membaca. sambil2 wat reading exercisestu, cilok je prkataan best2 dari passage yg kite bace tu..

listening-must pay full attention n focus.hati2 ngan words ending with 's" and kata nama khas yg perlu capital letter.yg tu kalau salah, rugi markah. biasakan diri dgr mp3 for listening ni..listening 1-3 ok, boleh catch up,sebab die pause n pecahkan soalan2 tu.tp yg 4 tu,mmg kena pay full attention, sebab die suh kite jawab sume soalan trus.kekadang tak terkejar! buat latihan byk2 supaya blh improve your listening skill.

utk reading,mmg no choice-kena buat a lot of exercise, sampai rasa nak muntah.hehe. passage 1 n 2 are ok, passage 3 tu yg susah giller biasenye, bahasa die ilmiah sgt! so buatla byk2 latihan,buat yg susah2, sambil2 tu develop your own strategy, camne nak jawab sesuatu soalan tu..

speaking..hehe speaking ni susah nk ckp. hnya org yg dh gi exam tu je yg tau camne rasa die. very scary situation, jantung rasa cam dah jatuh ke lantai time speaking tu. tp one trick that i learned form mrs ema (TQ vr much, wajib blanje nih!) is to prepare your script earlier.mmgla kite xtau ape soalan yg akan ditanya, tp soalan biasanya berulang2, so kite try jawab n sediakan skrip seberapa banyak yg mampu, n nanti dkt2 nak exam go through the script. it works, really!like me aritu, bila ditanya soalan psl garden n museum, trus tringat skrip yg dah dibuat..so blh jawab la,walaupun xselancar dlm skrip, but it'll save you time of finding the idea what to say :) time ketaq2 camtu, susah woo nak kuarkan idea..hehe

well, i'm not an expert..biasa2 je.apa yg dapat tu rezki yg tak disangka yg Allah dah bagi.Alhamdulillah..mmg terbukti, tawakkal (usaha+doa) kepada Allah tu la jalan penyelesaian terbaik bagi apa jugak yg kite nak lakukan.. i can't help but smile all day long today.. :)

Some tips on the early weeks

Atas permintaan mrs N (bukan nama sebenar), disenaraikan beberapa tips di awal pregnancy. i'm not an expert on this, anak pun br nak masuk seorang. these tips are some of the useful tips that i gathered from my O&G doctor, nurses, internet, books, magazines, and pesan org2 yg berpengalaman..so hopefully dapat membantu :)

A. Must EAT!
1. Folic Acid - for baby's brain development, very important in early pregnancy

2. Milk - for calcium, if our calcium intake is insufficient, our baby will take the calcium they need from our bones, nanti tulang kite reput daaa..

3. Food rich in iron, such as daging, bayam, kerang etc. - to maintain our hemoglobin level(needed to prevent anemia) tp klu makan byk sgt, blh sembelit lak! so moderation is the key here..

B. Avoid eating these:
1. Nenas..don't know exactly why, but my O&G dulu ade cakap,bahan yg terkandung dlm nenas tu lebih kurang sama ngan chemical utk mencepatkan labour..

2. Tebu..yg ni pun xsure why, org tua2 kata tajam.ape yg tajam xtau la,so elakkan jela, just to be safe

3. kafein..huhu yg ni plg susah skali nak elakkan, esp. for a coffee lover like me! kesan secara langsung setakat ni not clear, but from what i read, pregnant woman who consume a lot of caffein tend to deliver prematurely. ade gak yg kate ade efek pd baby's growth..but the result is still inconclusive. utk selamat jauhkanla..tp klu dah ketagih or mengidam, limit the intake, maximum 3 cups per day.

5. Ubat2an, jamu2 etc. kalau boleh dapatkan nasihat dr. b4 makan any ubat2an.sebab kite bukan arif in chemistry.utk org yg penakut like me,sakit tekak pun i went to dr. dulu, mintak ubat yg sesuai..hehe. better safe than sorry beb! stakat ni, sume dr. that i went to see said paracetamol 500 mg is safe for pregnant woman.utk jamu2 plak, ada yg amalkan makan some jamu/herba during pregnancy, and it helps to keep baby n mother healthy. terpulang, but for me, anak 1st ni takut gile nak mencuba2, so i stick to what dr. recommend only :)

6. Jeruk2..kalau boleh jgn makan byk sgt..sebab kite not sure ape chemical yg die letak utk preserve jeruk tu..

boleh rujuk wsite ni utk bacaan lanjut http://www.kidshealth.com/parent/nutrition_fit/nutrition/eating_pregnancy.html


C. Good practice:
1. Makan secara teratur, sederhana dan tak terlalu ikut nafsu,terutama yg ada diabetic patient dlm family, sugar intake kene jaga2, takut kene diabetis during pregnancy.unfortunately, i salah sorang yg ada menda ni (my dad is a diabetic patient and i eat too much sweet food during early pregnancy..hehe).bile dh didetect ada diabetis,penat wooo..kene jumpe dietitian, makan kene berdiet sihat. 2 minggu skali kene gi klinik, do BSP test:utk test kandungan sugar dlm darah,so kena amik darah 4 kali dlm 1 hari.so pg, tghari, ptg n malam kene gi klinik..serius bosan.
tp jgn makan sikit sgt lak, nanti baby xcukup zat, kesian baby! xyah nak jaga2 badan time pregnant, my dietitian said that nanti sume lemak2 yg terbina mase pregnant akan hilang menjadi susu masa kite breastfeed our baby. so don't worry! :)

2. Jaga kebersihan..terutama private area, takut kene jangkitan kuman, kencing kotor, etc. gigi pun kene jage, sebab pregnant woman mudah kene gingivitis.

3. Don't lift heavy stuff, don't stress yourself too much, don't do heavy work. tp jgn pemalas sgt, smpai asyik nak tidooo je :)

4. Amalkan membaca surah2 berikut: surah Yaasin, surah Maryam, surah at-Taubah, surah Yusuf, surah Luqman. walaupun baby belum lg boleh dengar awal2 ni, tp it's ok, biar baby tu membesar dengan ayat2 suci.amalkan membaca setiap hari, sampai baby dah lahir nanti.boleh psg mp3 quran, tp kite kene bacekan juga, biar baby membesar dgn mendengar suara mummy die bace quran :)

5. keep a close watch on your health n body. kalau notice ade something wrong such as bleeding, jgn tunggu, jgn tangguh, see a doctor!!

6. Rajin2kan diri membace buku,majalah,surf internet on pregnancy and baby growth :) there are abundance of info waiting to be read.

7. 1 more thing, dari segi regular check up, jumpe O&G bagus, tp paham2 jela klu jumpe dr. pakar ni, die xdela cek thoroughly sgt,sbb ramai patient die nak layan.tp die punye advice mmg bagus, sebab pakar kan..and ultrasound scan die memang tip-top,clear, nampak baby dgn jelas, siap leh nampak jantung baby berdegup2..
klu gi klinik krjn lak,yg akan cek adlh nurse,tp dieorg check sgt thorough,silap sket je dierg akan refer to dr.semua menda dierg akan cek, from BP, to weight, to urine, to our tummy,baby heartbeat,keadaan kite pun die akan siasat gak,ade mslh or tidak. mmg teliti,tp masalah nak menunggu giliran jela..letih sket,lama menunggu, kena take timeoff from work :)as for me, pernah checkup at both pakar O&G n klinik kerajaan.
skrg ni cek kt klinik krjn je, sebab dekat ngan opis, n suka dgn ketelitian dieorg cek..lgpun bak kata nurse kt klinik tu, 'kt klinik krjn ni, kiteorg jaga kesihatan due2, baby dan ibu.' kes termakan kate2 nurse tu la ni..

ok la, byk dah tu, kalau ade lg teringat nnt i'll update.harap sedikit sebanyak membantu whoever reading this :) emmm, bile dah selesai bace tu, jgn lupe, doakan yg menulis ni selamat deliver her first baby ye :D

marking dah siap...yahu!

finally..after struggling for 5 days, I've finished marking all my students' final exam paper.lega rasanya. overall,hmmm...ok la kut,ade improvement from last sem. but still not up to my expectation. i expected more from them since most of them got good carry mark. well, maybe it's just not their rezki..yg penting,the number of failures are reduced compared to last sem..that's a good thing,considering i'm teaching a 'killer' subject.

after this got 2 more works to do before i take my leave:
1. TESLA.thank goodness miss fizz dah buat separuh dah b4 she go to her kursus (thanx).
2. Update the syllabus for my subject.

hmm...ape lg ye? rase mcm ade je lg keje yg kene dibuat b4 bercuti..xingat le pulak. xpelah, nanti2 ingat le tu.

wahhhh!!!!! i just remembered,this friday result ielts keluar..4 hari je lagi! alamak! berapa daa..i get?? panik+risau+takut+tak sabar nak dapat result. harap2 melepasi la minimum requirement..kalau xlepas kena amik lg skali..huhuhu xsanggup!

to the greatest women ever

Mothers day is coming up..so happy mother's day to my mom n my mom in law..hope that i can be as best mothers as you are :)


Mother o' Mine

If I were hanged on the highest hill,
Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!
I know whose love would follow me still,
Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!

If I were drowned in the deepest sea,
Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!
I know whose tears would come down to me,
Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!

If I were damned of body and soul,
I know whose prayers would make me whole,
Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!

a poem by Rudyard Kipling

my baby

hehe..i should be doing my work right now..tp malas la..rehat sat la..br balik dr klinik for regular checkup.surf2 internet, i found a website called Baby Gaga. it has lots of info on pregnancy, parenting and babies. that ticker up there, shows my baby's growth. currently she(or he, who knows) is 34 weeks old,kicking and rolling quite hard now.but i don't mind, as long as she's ok :)

hmm...about a month to go, before my baby comes out..i'm planning to deliver at my kampung in perak, but i have to go back early la if i wanted to do so. i plan to go back about two weeks earlier than my due date, tp td the nurse at the clinic said that i should be prepared as the baby can come out at any time after 36 weeks. so she suggested that i go back a month early! wow! that means that i have to take about 20 days leave! isy2...mane leh gitu. so i don't know how now..probably i just proceed with my original plan of going back 2 weeks early and hopefully my baby don't come out too early.tunggu ye baby..jadi org perak ye baby ye...hehe

dah abis pekse..back to work

IELTS exam dah selamat diduduki last saturday. overall, ok la kut..listening,reading n writing rasanya ok, cume bab speaking tu...bermasalah tul. rasanya mesti dpt rendah gile utk speaking. i don't know why, suddenly nervous giler,during speaking test. soalan simple pun susah nk jawab. grammar n vocab apetah lg, ke laut la jawabnye.hehe. hmm...hope i didn't do too bad on the test. result will only be known 2 weeks from now. berdebar2 menunggu result ni nnt..kalau dapat cukup2 makan, melepasi tahap minimum utk further studi ke UK pun dah syukur.but nevermine, what's done is done, dah bertawakkal, insyaAllah ada rezki, dptla result yg ok :)

Lepas exam sempat gak la jalan2 jap kt klcc,makan2 kt situ, then kiteorg trus balik rumah.on de way back, dkt2 terowong genting-sempah tu, ade pulak van terbakar.dasyat punye terbakar, asap berkepul2,smpai hangus! xtaula ape cite driver van tu, hopefully he/she was ok. then as usual,whenever there's an accident,traffic jam pun akan menyusul.yg jd mslhnye, our malaysian driver nih..teruk betul la some of them. bayangkan, when kereta bomba lalu, nk gi ke tmpt kejadian tu, adela dkt 10 buah kereta yg kurang ajar dok follow kete bomba tu, laju lak tu, nk tlg bomba padamkan api kut..? punyela tak sabarnye, nak cepatnye, selfishnya! smpai nyaris2 nak langgar kete2 kt tepi yg dok bg laluan kt kete bomba tu..bkn kete jer, moto pun sama! ade satu moto ni, terlanggar side mirror kete kiteorg..nsb baik xpatah! kalau patah,xtaula ape reaksi my husben. dasyat betul sebilangan m'sian drivers ni.. buruk betulla perangai! yg lebih mengejutkan, one of the kureng ajar car was driven by a woman! selama ni i thought drivers je yg kureng ajar ni biasenye lelaki,female driver pun ade gak ye,xsangka! nsb baik sebilangan kecil jer m'sian driver yg teruk camtu, mak abah die xajar cara respek people n cara bersabar kut.. pade yg slalu mengamalkan pemanduan ikut sesuka hati ni bawak2la insaf, belajarla bersabar, ingatla org lain same k..

this week n next week jadual dah pack dah, al maklumlah, aritu tangguh keje semata2 utk ielts..so skrg ni menimbun2la keje yg menanti. ok, lets go back to work, and hopefully it can keep my mind's off from ielts for 2 weeks. wahhh.....takutnye nk tggu result!

need more time please!

Assalamualaikum everyone.. it's been a while, yes, i know..quite bz lately with work and preparing for ielts test.huhu..

one more week to go before my ielts exam. takutnyee...haven't finish preparing yet and certainly not ready for the exam! i wish i had more time to do more exercises.for your info, i baru start preparing last week, 2 weeks is definitely not enough! sekarang ni jadual harian dipenuhi dengan study for ielts. nasib baik sume keje PnP dah siap. so pagi petang siang malam hanya utk ielts preparation jela..kt opis, miss D pun tgh pulun study gak. so xdela terkial2 sgt study sorang2. ade la knowledge sharing, which is very helpful!

last week i went to jb, followed my hubby outstation, ade keje kat sana. i just pegi makan angin jer, lepak2 in hotel while he went to work. sepatutnye time camtula yg plg best..lepak2, tgk tv, tido kt hotel. tp, disebabkan sedar diri nak exam, terpaksala bawak suma ielts study materials and study at the hotel..in jb we stayed at m-suits hotel.it's a nice hotel by the way :) tp best jugak study kat hotel, study dlm suasana sejuk, study2 pastu bile boring trus blh tido kt atas katil yg besar.hehe.tp masalahnye bile suasana best camtu, tidonye lebih banyak dari study la pulak..but at least i did studied something.

walaupun gi 3 hari je ke jb,sempat juga gi jalan2.dulu2 pernah dkt 6 tahun dok jb, before moving to here about 2++ years ago. so its kind of jb revisited la..hehe. first, we went to my brother's house in tmn perling. sampai2 jb,keluar2 tol skudai jer, we all terkejut! wahh,jalan kat jb dah berubah! jalan senai-skudai tu dah lain.. nak ke skudai dah ada flyover, jalan perling - pasir gudang pun dah ada flyover baru, jalan bertingkat2 ala2 mcm kat oversea, berlapis2.dasyat gak la jalan tu..berbelit2. tp yg best xde traffic light..so traffic was very smooth.yg xbest plak jalan tu kene follow signboard betul2, especially utk org yg 1st time lalu situ cam kiteorg.nyaris2 nak salah jalan..kes co-pilot (me) tak tgk signboard betul2..hihi

Next we went to angsana which was suprisingly still the same as two years before and we also went to danga bay. danga bay has changed a lot,since the last time we went there and sadly i found it rather boring (just my personal opinion). tambahan pulak tempat makan yg we liked to go dulu2 (gerai2 kecik kat tepi2 bangunan utama danga bay tu) dah takde..(tempat dating dolu2 tu, when we were young.hahaha) bangunan utama tu pun dh kosong. kedai2 makan sume dah xde,sumenye dah berpindah ke sebelah lain,yg ade mcm mall kt tmpat tu..tak ingat ape namanya. last2 boring,kiteorg gi makan kat singgah selalu, which was still meriah but mahal :( mcm dulu2.

tak sempat nak revisit banyak tempat, sebab time limited. tapi sempat juga melawat dua new-born babies - my niece (my husband's side) then melawat my best fren's baby boy.hmm...comel tul due2 baby tu,hopefully my baby nanti pun comel jugak, macam ummi die :)

ok lah, ingat nak cite sikit jer, terpanjangla pulak..nak gi solat zuhur then nak sambung study balik..ptg ni nak prektis buat writing task 2 pulak..ok, wish me luck in the exam!

Bubbly..

Nice song, great voice. Bubbly by Colbie Caillat




Colbie Caillat Lyrics

wind of change..

Kebelakangan ni, kuat betul angin perubahan meniup malaysia..tak sangka, the power of democracy tu memang sangat kuat dan dahsyat.. in my beloved state perak for example, siapa sangka jadi macam tu? semuanya sebab people are starting to know their right, beginning to know the power of the "X" mark that they put down on the voting paper..

for me, PRU kalini, sy lebih mengambil tahu berbanding PRU dulu, almaklumlah..sekarang dah cukup dewasa untuk menilai sesuatu hal dan juga dah semakin matang untuk memilih wakil :) seronok juga bila mengikuti perkembangan PRU ni. my main source of info is my husben of coz. semua berita terkini, melalui media utama atau alternatif, semua die tahu..dasyat betul

apa pun, harap2 kesan yang hadir selepas PRU ni, semuanya positif dan baik untuk m'sia. terutama sekali perak tu..i hope it all ends well for my hometown tu..

ok, enaough about PRU, sekarang ni, hampir setiap minggu kena gi klinik for checkup.. sebab ada traces of sugar in my blood.huhuhu. so after this kenala berdiet yang sihat, dan yg paling penting,kena be careful with my sugar intake untuk mantain sugar level tu pada tahap selamat.takpe, for my baby, diet pun dietlah...asalkan baby sihat. itu yg paling penting sekarang ni :)

Got this from a friend today, very funny..For those mom&dad to be, here are some "excellent" tips for taking care of your baby..

Mari menjiwang sekejap: No One - Alicia Keys

I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cuz
Everythings gonna be alright
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is everything's gonna be alright

No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
You you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you

When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain

You and me together
Through the days and nights

I don't worry cause
Everythings gonna be alright
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is everything's gonna be alright

No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
You you
Can get in the way of what I feel

I know some people search the world
To find something like what we have
I know people will try
Try to divide
Something so real
So till the end of time
I'm telling you that

No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
Oh oh oh...

destinasi esok: Putrajaya

seronoknya...esok cuti CNY,kami akan ke putrajaya, gi rmh abg. ada kenduri sket esok malam,bukan sebab CNY, tp kenduri kesyukuran n doa selamat,two of my bros joint venture buat kenduri. salah seorang abg tu br naik rmh baru,sorang lg baru dapat profesor..so dieorg nk wat kenduri sket, jemput adik-adik n saudara-mara dtg. so esok insyaAllah, beramai2la di putrajaya. part tu yg bestnya, berkumpul ramai2..sure meriah punye nanti.tp rasanya xsemua dapat dtg.yg dari perak maybe 1 famili je kut yg dpt dtg..yg lain xdpt dtg, sebab kerja..

apepun,xsabar nak gi esok..seronoknye dpt jumpe my parents n my family sume. n tahniah to both my brothers.

senyap sunyi + malas nk buat keje

Arini ramai betul yg cuti.kt ofis ni sunyi jer..cuaca pun hujan kat luar tu. nak buat keje pun rasa malassss jer...hehe. keje memang ade, nak marking, nak buat lab, cari soalan test dll.. tp malas tul nak wat..

isy2, ape kene ni? camne nak berjaya camni? asyik malas n buang masa je?hmm...xleh jadi camni. dahle arini kena blk lewat, xkan nak melepak je smpai mlm kang? ok la, jom gerak sekarang, buat kerja! jom..

nk masak ape wk end ni ye?

selalunya, wk end la time for me to cook something delicious.. kalau hari2 bekerja, tersangatlah malas + tak laratnye nak masak. sejak preknen, weekdays mmg jarang memasak. sebab penat n malas.hehehehe. wk end barula masak sedap2..

wkend ni nak masak ape ye? last week dah try masak kurma daging. result die? emm, blh tahanla..my hubby suke, so kire ok la tu.. this weekend ingat nk masak smthg special la,ape kata masak nasi bukhari or nasi beriyani? sebenanya, teringin benar nak makan nasik yg dalam die ade ayam tu...ns bukhari la namanye tu kan? dulu2 masa kecik2 kalau time puasa my dad slalu bawak balik nasi bukhari tu, lebihan more masjid,berebut2 me n my brother makan, sebab sedap. skang kalau nk beli,xtau katne ade jual nasi camtu kt sini..so try masak jela. lgpun bile masak sendiri boleh merekacipta , menokok tambah ape yg patut, supaya jadi lagi sedap..hehe. tp tgk keadaan juga, kalau rasa cam susah sgt je nk masak nasik tu, last2 masak ns ayam jer..mudah, cepat dan sedap.hahaha. ape2 pun, esok plan nak gi kuar, so blhla beli bahan2 ape yg patut, kalau betul2 serius nak memasak ns bukhari tu.

keputusannya? tunggule hari isnin nanti i tell you..

phD: new strategy

Due to recent "threat" (betul x fizz? hehe) my phD preparation needs a new strategy. somehow, i must start my phD next year, by hook or by crook.
bkn ape,dah sampai masa rasanya utk perubahan..i've been teaching for almost 2 years here, so i think it's about time that i go for my phD. besides, my hubby's turn to go for phD is next year too, so we MUST go together..lg pun, kalau tangguh2, takut ade berlaku percubaan memotong queue..ohhh tidakkk!!!! takkan kuizinkan.huhuhu

kalau ikutkan hati, mmgla nak sambung phD secepat mungkin, masuk2 jer sini, klu boleh nak trus sambung lps tu. but for me, kalau nk sambung phd, biarla berbakti dulu kt sini. jadila pendidik at least 2 tahun dulu,lepastu kalau nk sambung, silakanla. lagi satu, mmg dah menjadi budaya kan, kite kene respek org yg lbh senior. so camne pun, biarla org yg lebih kanan dr kite tu gi sambung dulu. Unless die mmg nak tangguh sambung blaja. then, that's OK. bukannye ape, not fair la, kalau gi sambung tanpa menabur bakti pada majikan dulu kan? one more thing, katakanla, ada rezki, dpt keizinan from boss to futher study awal, memotong queue rakan2 senior, patut ke rasanya buat gitu? tak kesian ker kt kwn2 lain yg dah sangat bersedia nak sambung, tapi terpaksa tangguh kerana kite? dlm kes ni, kite tak blh la nak terlalu selfish. atas sebab2 tu la, sy br sekarang nk sibuk2 mencari tempat. bile dah berbakti (walaupun rasanya xseberapa), dah merasa menjadi pendidik selama 2 thn, senior2 pun ramai yg dah gi sambung, barula berani nak mencari2 tempat utk sambung. adil kan begitu? hati pun tenang nak mencari2 tempat.

hala tuju phD? my hubby minat betul nk further study in UK. sy follow jer, bidang sy boleh dikatakan ade di mana2 U, so takpe kemana pun.hmmmm.... pikir2 balik, banyaknye preparation kene buat utk smbg blaja ni. preparation plg besar, menyediakan diri sendiri for phD lah..takpe2,usaha from now, buat preparation sepatutnye, supaya by the time nk sambung, i'm ready. :) insyaAllah, Aaamiiin...

The Sweetest Thing

..I don't know why, but this song been playing over and over again in my head today.. it's not a new song,infact, it was released a few years ago. I loved it back then, still loving it until now. the song is by U2. it's a nice song and it has a cute video clip too..Ok, got to go back to work, while singing this song.. oh..oh oh..the sweetest thing! hehehe. Hope you guyz enjoy it too!



The Sweetest Thing - U2

My love, she throws me like a rubber ball
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)
But she won't catch me or break my fall.
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
But in this, I'm a raincloud
You know she wants a dry kind of love.
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)

I'm losin' you, I'm losin' you
Ain't love the sweetest thing?

I wanted to run, but she made me crawl
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)
Eternal fire, she turned me to straw.
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)
I know I got black eyes
But they burn so brightly for her
I guess it's a blind kind of love.
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)

I'm losin' you, I'm losin' you
Ain't love the sweetest thing?
Ain't love the sweetest thing?

Blue-eyed boy meets a brown-eyed girl.
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)
You can sew it up, but you still see the tear.
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
But in this, I'm a rain-cloud,
Ours is a stormy kind of love.
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)

kisah kentang di tahun baru

slamat tahun baru 2008...tahun bertambah, usia pun bertambah..huhuhu. ape yer azam thn baru ni? for me of coz, xsabar nak jd ibu..camne la yer nanti jd mak orang? harap2 boleh jadi sebaik my mom. AAAmiin :)

tahun baru ni, harap2 bukan angka umur jer bertambah. harap2 kematangan n kedewasaan juga bertambah. harap2 semua sifat2 yang kurang enak tu dapat dikikis, disingkir tahun ni. ade satu cerita yang sy nak konsi sempena tahun baru ni..cerita ni biase2 jer, cuma moral die tinggi. cerita ni sangat sesuai utk sy dan juga utk cik fizz (hehe, jgn mare ye!) nama cite ni kisah kentang. sy dapat dr paper mingguan m'sia, xingat bile tarikh die..so terimalah, kisah kentang...

ade seorang cikgu,yang mengajar sekolah rendah. dia dapati pelajar kelas dia ni selalu bergaduh sesama mereka. satu hari, cikgu ni masuk ke kelas dengan membawa beberapa karung kecil. kemudian dia memberikan satu karung tersebut kepada setiap pelajarnya. kemudian dia memberitahu pelajarnya "hari ini cikgu nak minta awak buat satu eksperimen. sepanjang minggu ini, cikgu nak setiap orang bawa karung ni ke mana saje kamu pergi. setiap kali kamu merasa marah, atau tidak puas hati atau tersinggung dengan sesiapa saje, kamu masukkan sebiji kentang dalam karung ni. jangan keluarkan kentang tersebut dari karung, kecuali apabila kamu sudah maafkan org tersebut. selagi kamu tak maafkan, jgn keluarkan kentang tersebut, dan bawalah karung tersebut ke mana saja kamu pergi."

maka pelajar2 tu pun buatlah seperti yang diarahkan. selepas seminggu, cikgu tersebut bertanya kepada pelajarnya, bagaimana keadaan karung kentang mereka. salah seorang pelajarnya menjawab "karung saya terlalu berat untuk dibawa kesana sini cikgu. ada beberapa kentang yang sudah busuk dang berbau." kemudian cikgu tersebut mendapati bukan seorang sahaja, malah ramai dari anak muridnya yang mengalami masalah sama. karung kentang mereka penuh sesak dengan kentang yang kebanyakkannya sudah busuk.

cikgu tersebut tersenyum dan berkata kepada pelajarnya "kenapa kamu tak maafkan saja org yang menyakitkan hati kamu tu? kalau kamu maafkan semuanya, dan keluarkan kentang tersebut dari karung tu, bukankah selesai masalah? tak perlu lg bawa karung yang berat dan berbau busuk? dalam kehidupan kita pun memang begitu. setiap hari, kita akan marah, dan sakit hati dengan org tertentu. tetapi cubalah belajar utk maafkan org tersebut. kerana kalau kamu tak maafkan, dan simpan kemarahan dan kebencian itu dalam hati, lama kelamaan ia akan semakin memberatkan dan jika terus dibiarkan akan menjadi sesuatu yg lebih teruk. itulah yang cuba cikgu sampaikan dalam eksperimen mudah ni."

sejak dari itu, murid-murid kelas tersebut mula belajar untuk memaafkan kesalahan org lain..

so moral of the story, memaafkan lebih baik dari terus-terusan menyimpan rasa marah/benci dalam hati. walaupun kadang2 susah nak maafkan orang, tp cuba yang terbaik.. hopefully i'll be better at that this year :)
