Alas..

Yoh! finally I got to blog! Apparently MIMET blocks certain proxies including blogger, youtube and yet to know. But thanks to Jackson, who told me about www.hidemyass.com in which we can go through all the blocked proxies that might be very important to us. Hehehe.

Nevertheless, I think I have nothing much to say. Or I should say, I have less time to think about other things but catching up on my responsibilities at this new place. I'm teaching Bachelor students which happens to be the group thathas never been taught by the permanent lecturers here until I joined. And my contact hour is 21 per week, teaching 2 Bachelor subjects and 1 Diploma subject. I am starting from scratch here. According to them, that is a normal scenario for those who just joined here. And personally to me, it is normal to see me spending time at the office on Saturdays just to plan my lessons for the whole following weeks. I take it as a challenge and most important thing is to improve my productivity.

Well, I'm getting my ryhtm here - there's a senior lecturer who is willing to teach me on how to play tennis, my senior in TESL 17, Ms. Sarah Nadiah who has succesfully dragged me into the sport activities here ( I got to play badminton and netball last week on a friendly match with IKM Lumut) * sarah, your racket is still with me*, Wena and Kak Nik who are always making me feel at home derived from the TESLian circle; Kak Niza, Kak Maz and my highly respected officemates who are always giving me guidance regarding the 'styles' we have here in MIMET. yes, I'm getting my rythm here, so far. And I hope I'll get the solid grip here before persuing on my other life activities. :)

And why is my entry sounds like an award winning speech? sheeeesh~

No, I do not win anything yet. I just want to express my gratitude on the blessings that He gave me here. :)

Okay, I feel like I'm wasting my time. I'd better get back to planning lessons! shoohs!

Beautiful

I'm glad for the view that I can see everyday at Lumut Esplanade; that is less than 10 minutes from my house.








That's why I must get a camera yang lagi HEBAT. All these should not be wasted. So, to anybody yang tak tahu lagi, my birthday is in June. You still have time to start your saving for my birthday gift, okay. Or maybe just to add up mine if it fails to reach the target. :)

P.S: I had to upload in blogger since it took me some depressing time to upload in Fb! :)

P.S.S: the ships and the boats are just a few meters from where I sat having my ABC. :))

Welcome Aboard

Assalamualikum and good morning! :)

Haven't updated my blog for days. Been too busy with the new place, new environment, new responsibility and new friends. Syukur Alhamdulillah, He sent me to a good place, where I met good people. :)

Okay, let's make this a quickie!

1. I love the view I see every morning on my way to work. I'll cross two bridges in which one of the bridges is crossing an estuary where we can see big boats are parked. I think there's a shipyard along the estuary - yet to explore. Maybe when I got the chance, I'll snap a picture of the place.

2. I like the people in this company. They are helpful and warm. there's no gap between the academic staffs, administration staffs and the supporting staffs. We are all family. For me, I'm still taking my slow-mo to fit myself in this happy crowd.

3. My office is located at the end of the isle. Again, I think this office is just like the one of my former workplace. It is like a favourite spot where everybody comes to meet up, have breakfast together, and discussions. And, again, my office is in front of the boss's office. Just like in my former place. Oh, anyway the office is a big room of 4. I'm sharing it with four other lecturers of engineering, management and err...something like something dot dot fibre. Heheh.

4. I heard that this company is loaded with activities for the staffs - sports, celebrations, trips etc. Just what I want! To get myself back in sports! :)

5. Manjung town is a good place to live. We have everything we need here. It's just that the road here is quite confusing with all the 4-junctions. It's like layers of junctions where we can go anywhere using any junction which I found quite a problem to me. In general, I'm just not good with directions. :P

Okay, I have to meet the Dato' at 11 this morning and a medical check up at 4 this evening. Let's pray for the best while I'm here; in the new place. Again, I'm so grateful with all the blessings from Him. It makes me think about something. A better thing that I did not do in my past. :)

Hey, you! Mr. Inaccessible.

This Is Not a Review

Well, it started when I tried to entertain a friend in FB. But this song is just mesmerizing to me that I'm pretty sure it's going to maim my night tonight.



I first heard this song in a the movie Wickerpark at my sister's house. Well, that movie also somehow created a bond between my sister's friend at that time who happens to be her fiance now; and me. I mean, I enjoy movies that are not cliche, in which we can never expect the story line let alone the ending. This movie gave such a deep impact to my sister and I when our assumption was nothing at all close to the line. Oh, back to the bond I mentioned earlier. He introduced us the movie and urged us to watch it. "It's a good movie" - that was his claim. He lent us the DVD and after watching it, I must say that he is one of the guys whom I know has a very high taste in selecting movies for favourite. And I just have to say this; this movie uses a pair of heels as the symbolism. Well, shoes and me - we are always meant to be. But that is not the reason for my love toward this movie. Well, with some dancing, it's just a coincidence. But I adore the shoes used in that movie. Mind you, even though I mentioned shoes, this movie is not the flick chic type of movie. Nothing close to that. For those who haven't watched it, I'm not going to tell you more about the movie for 1) I'm not good at describing and 2)I'd love you to go watch it for your own sentiment (if you feel want to).

"Passion never dies."

And knowing me, to look good soundtracks of movies that suit my ears is one possible crazy obsession to fill one of my traits. "Strange and Beautiful" is one of them.

I've been watching your world from afar,
I've been trying to be where you are,
And I've been secretly falling apart, unseen.
To me, you're strange and you're beautiful,
You'd be so perfect with me but you just can't see,
You turn every head but you don't see me.

I'll put a spell on you,
You'll fall asleep and I'll put a spell on you.
And when I wake you,
I'll be the first thing you see, lyric's top
And you'll realise that you love me.

Yeah...
Yeah...

Sometimes, the last thing you want comes in first,
Sometimes, the first thing you want never comes,
And I know, the waiting is all you can do,
Sometimes...

I'll put a spell on you,
You'll fall asleep,
I'll put a spell on you,
And when I wake you,
I'll be the first thing you see,
And you'll realise that you love me.

I'll put a spell on you,
You'll fall asleep 'cos I'll put a spell on you,
And when I wake you,
I'll be the first thing you see,
And you'll realise that you love me, yeah...

Yeah...
Yeah...
Yeah...
Yeah...

*Yeah..currently obsessed with.

Posting

uhurrmmm *clear throat*

Dengan sukacitanya dimaklumkan saya telah ditempatkan mengajar ke Negeri Pahang Darul Makmur.

Saya dimita melapor diri dan menghadiri taklimat di SMK Seri Semantan, 28400 Mentakab.

Lihat di situ, 28400 MENTAKAB. Tempat kelahiran tu..Tempat yang kami tinggalkan pada 1997.

Seronoknye dapat balik tempat lahir..

Tapi dilema nye sekarang ni ialah..UniKL pun nak...KPM pun sama...yang mana satu pilihan kalbu? Saya ni boleh tahan ambitious jugak orangnye sebenarnya. Ish!

*Btw, boleh pulak buat announcement macam ni kan? Takpe, baru la senang kawan-kawan aku nak tau aku dapat posting kat mana kan. Korang mesti tanya jugak nanti kan..hurmm..*

Sangat monotone sekarang ni..

It lasts for a week in silence.

Well...

I got this superb news on last Friday. I was so grateful for the Merciful Allah listened to my prayers. I don't know why but I wanted this opportunity so much. After the Zohor prayer, I once again told Him things that I wanted. And this is one of the good things a human can ask from the Creator.

As I finished my prayer, I checked my mailbox. I had not checked it for days as it is usually a list of vacancies from JobStreet. Somehow, there's an urge in me telling me to check my mailbox on that day. There was a latest mail received - Re: additional information, sent today (Friday at 12.27 pm). I've dealt with the subject (additional information; twice. Hence I presumed that maybe they need something else this time). I opened it without expecting anything at all.

As I was reading the first line, I was gasping. My jaw dropped a bit, and my eyes was like popping out from the sockets. I looked ugly in that face. I had not finished reading the first line when my phone rang. An unfamiliar number appeared but I could guess the place of the call made by looking at the city codes. I was excited and couldn't even speak properly to the person on the other line. Yes, it's the HR of the place. He just got back from the Friday prayers, I presume as it was 2.30 pm. He called me as he saw no response followed his email to me. Like hello, you emailed me just before you went to the mosque. It was 2 hours back. I believed that he must too, be very happy with the news that he brought me. He's such a nice guy. We talked for a while, I listened to things that I'd just read the first line, and I asked permission to hung up. I just couldn't talk for I was so excited and my heart beat like I've just done my one big lap of jogging after years of not doing it. No, it's even faster. I told my mom, unbelievably, my sister and my father. When everything was in its place, I called the HR back to get more details regarding the offer. He told me, "you are now the new staff of MIMET." and I think he could hear me smiling all way long.

I did not tell anybody but my family about this happy news. Not even my friends, SailorBoy or anybody. I have no answer for why, here. But I think as I am writing, all the significant people whom I think deserve to know about my whereabouts are informed with this news either from me or my Facebook.

For that event,

I would like to thank Adib, Mun and Kakteng for accompanying me to the interview and also checking up the place. In which reminds me that I got a summon ticket for speeding in Manjung that was informed last night. Okay, and also to my mentor, Kak Sanisah for telling me to just write in to any colleges and university that I wish to work for. Or else, I wouldn't get the opportunity to be called for the interview in the first place even though there are several places that did not give any feedback towards my applications. And to our regular visitor at the office, En. Azhan for being such a daddy telling me these and that including all the relevant and irrelevant topics of life. Not to forget all my colleagues who had given sufficient guides regarding career path in this field. I am glad to be surrounded by generous people who never stop sharing and telling me the ups and downs, the dos and don'ts in this new world of mine.

Eh, this sounds like I've just received an award, huh? No no. Not just yet. This is the real beginning to me in stepping in this new path. I am not to see or even dream about the outcomes yet. All I have to do is, to start fresh for this coming new year.

Okay. I think that's all for tonight. I should be sleeping as tomorrow errr..2 - 3 hours from now, I need to get up for sahur. Yes, it's nearAwal Muharam. Puasa sunat. :)

Dang. I was already sleepy when I wanted to write this. This is bad. Niteynite!
