Meeting plus Intro Session

Just finish my meeting just now with all the fellow educators…
The main reason to hold the meeting is to discuss on particular issues besides being introductory session for fellow new lecturers….
So the session was quite OK since I do fill up the time by chatting with my new colleagues that happen to be my ex-classmate…
After being afflict with all those main agenda, the time for us new educators to be in a limelight just about to begin…
The introductory session start by few of male lecturers before it being passes to us a bunch of ladies…
I did suffer a stage freak condition as it was held in auditorium which big enough to cater number hundreds of students…
Luckily I manage to state my name, from where I am before I’m being asked about my current status…
What a typical minds of fellow Malays… I know I’m Malay too…
Now I’m in the middle of subconscious mind trying my best to reincarnate positive and energetic feelings for my finance class…
So till then, adios…. =)

Updated after the class:

Happy Birthday to my sweet sis, Dang Ayang a.k.a Kak Ryn... may all your wishes+dreams+hope shall be granted by Him... May Allah bless...

Supposed she'll be celebrating this day with another sister of mine, the late Dang Inoi ak.a Kak Nur... they (both Kak Ryn and Kak Nur) share a same birthdate but different year... May her soul rest in peace, al-Fatihah...

Calm City Story....

It has been 3 weeks I live my life in Eastern region…
I’m still in adapting phase…
The course that held in UPM last week was awesome…
Besides be able to know what KKB = “Kursus Kokurikulum Berkredit” which is UPM compulsory course to graduate, I also had acquired other knowledge…
The knowledge on how to deal with your so-called students… =)
Back about my life here in Kuantan, the environment was quite calm as compared to my usual atmosphere…
However, since you were used to the crowd and busy surroundings it somehow makes you miss that kind of place…
But in the name of doing my job, I need to acquire all the 3 A’s (adaptability, adjustable & accommodate) which have been taught by my LSP and LHP lecturer during undergraduate years… thanks to you, Mr. Kumaranair….
So far, I have attended to all the classes for 3 different subject areas…
The students were quite ok except for my Finance classes… maybe because they’re passive and it’s hard to predict whether they’re with me or not…
The remaining Management and Marketing subjects are in state of better… the students were response accordingly… and it’s help to build my confidence in teaching them…
Now, me and my colleague who also my former classmate know how it’s felt when you could see all your students’ activities when you’re at the front…
On the other hands, I already know how it felt when your students ask you to postpone the classes… not included the clashing classes that required you to entertain them personally…
It does give me 1001 headache…but I guess it’s a challenge that I need to take… I choose this path, so I need to carry on with it…
Hopefully everything will be going smoothly, insyaAllah… =)

Harry Potter: The Half Blood Prince
At last I managed to see this movie…
Actually I’m not a die hard fan for Harry Potter… but since many people around me was so hooked to this story; it somehow put a small influence in me…
As a result, I persuade Kauthar to accompany me to see the movie…
I’m glad that she does enjoy the movie…
In overall, the storyline was great as it an adaptation from the novel itself...
However, in terms of characters, all HP actors and actresses managed to deliver well…
All of them managed to grip the feel…
For this movie, I would rate it for 4.5 stars…

P/s: Just get the info that one of awesome Malaysian film maker, the late Yasmin Ahmad passed away peacefully… al-Fatihah

Will Be Back…

I’m very happy…
I’ll be back to N9…
Actually I have to attend a course conducted in Serdang…
Since the course will be conducted there at Serdang, I have a chance to go back once the course is finished…
Glad to be back as I miss my home plus Mocha…
Besides, the reason I’m going home because I have to pick up all related notes for the subjects that have been assigned to me…
I need the notes since the module given by UPM was quite brief…
Hopefully the plans will go according to what have been decide…=)

1st Update from Kuantan.....

It hard to say goodbye than to say hello…
I experienced it in many situations…
But somehow, it very difficult for me so say goodbye to all 13 “Pegawai Tadbir Kontrak” or known among us as “PTK” in ICT Department in MOE…
It’s such a same feeling I felt when I already at the end of my both undergraduate and postgraduate days…
It’s hard for you to say goodbye or any words that carried similar meaning with it…
It’s not because you doesn’t like to move on or build up your career at new place, but it just a feeling for such attach bonding with people around you…
Yes, I’m very attaching to all the 13 people… if not all 13 of them but some of them whom really important to me when I decided to join MOE at the beginning of June 2009…
When I rewind back to my early days at MOE, I still can remember all the times when we're placed at the Ibnu Rusy and Ibnu Sina meeting room…
We’re there for 3 consecutive days before being placed to 8 available units under the ICT department…
I still can repeat back how we spend our entire boring days… up to the extend that we’re playing Bingo and even the “nama negeri” thingy…
In order to cover that we’re playing that kiddo games, we even invented some formula so that we can cover out mischievous activities…
Since we’re there without doing anything, most of us get to know each other in that particular room… in fact one of them said that if they (MOE) keep us maybe for a week or longer than that, we can already do a biography for all those PTK… what they likes, what no and hundred and one things that we can discussed on…
If I keep thinking about it, I will keep smiling… yeah… I miss all of them…
They light up my days in quiet surrounding of Putrajaya… besides my lovely cousin family...
I’m very happy since till today they still attach my email as one of the mailing list for those PTK… in fact they already have a new friend replacing my place…
Hope all of them will get permanent jobs as what I already got…
To all of you, you know who you are… thanks a lot…

++++++

So far my days here in Kuantan are good…
Those people were quite friendly and willing to help…
I try my best to reincarnate all the positive feeling that I got when I was still of one of those PTK…
Till now, I only required to teach 3 subjects… it from various fields… from management, finance and even marketing…
Currently I’m still doing an overall revision on those subjects since I have no teaching experience… hopefully all things will went accordingly…
What I’m sure, this job is 360 degree different with my previous job as PTK…
InsyaAllah next week I will start a lecture session since the BBA programme will only be started next week…
=)
