So, this is how it feels...

Daju once told me how tiring it was to spend days doing practical training.I never got to experience it myself until I started my own practical training last week. I woke up and went to bed earlier than usual..and of course the most miraculous thing was- My precious time in front of my laptop had decreased dramatically.hahaha

I felt bad for my mom and uncle who had to send me off and pick me up from my work place..opss..forgot to mention that the company is called Kelantan Biotech Corp. It's a small company with only 10-11 workers located in Machang, about 45 minute from Pasir Mas..I feel glad though that I found this place to spend the final days of my summer break. All the people over there were nice and helped me a lot in adapting with the new environment. I was supposed to work in lab, doing tissue culture. Since the company's factory was just built last May, we were short of employees and thus I started with production. And don't be surprised that I already mastered about the company's products..heheh. We are doing on Virgin Coconut Oil or minyak kelapa dara..and from this oil, we developed new products including bath and facial soap, hair and body oil, massage oil, scrub and shampoo.

Not even a week after I started my training, the company granted me an opportunity to join an exhibition for small and medium entreprenuership in MidValley. Thanks to my 'thick face' and experiences in pennstate that I manage to help my company to attract potential dealers and agents. Even though it's very tiring, it's a wonderful experience since I got to meet a lot of nice people. For the first time I thought it would be very nice to have business cards so that I can expand my networking......

Plus, during my stay in KL, I got to meet Abe Yam, Along, Ada, Mamat and a few friends. Though the meeting was short, we talked a lot about our summer break. The chatting would go on and on for a few more days if I did not have to catch my train lol. The trip back to Kelantan was even funny. I was with my officemate, Ida, who had been a great friend and senior at work. After she got off at Kuala Krai's train station, I continued my beautiful nap..and the nap continued until I heard an announcement that the train would shortly arrive at Wakaf Bharu..and guess what?I just missed my stop!

A lot to write about work..but I'll continue writing next time:). Now I know how it feels to be working..and suddenly I miss my study days (macam la dh grad..heehhe). Thanks to Ida for letting me stay at her bro's house and get me familiarized with office...

If I were the Ustazah...

Have you met the most honest person in the world? Well, kids can be pretty honest. Or it's safe to say they are the most straightforward creatures on earth. They express what they want and say what they saw. Haven't had any real life experience with honest kids? Here are some examples:

Mad Syah (my 5-year old little cousin) was in his kindergarten when Ustazah talked about 'pahala'. In that kindergarten, the first slot on Sundays and Mondays is for Islamic Education, while Iwa and I teach every Tuesday and Wednesday. We promised Mad Syah to bring him to his favorite gerai makan , called Mok Su Kedai Makan, that day. So, he's impatiently waiting for us to pick him up and had no will to study anymore.


Day 1 (Sunday)

Ustazah: Kalau kita mengaji Al-Quran, Allah bagi pahala.
Madsyah: Pahala?Mana pahala? (Nada memberontak sbb nsak sangat dah pegi kedai mok su)
Syabil (Another student): Pahala.. masuk dalam perut (sambil tunjuk perut dia)

Ustazah pon cume geleng kepala.

Day 2(Monday)

Ustazah still continued on pahala.

Ustazah: Pahala nih macam duit, boleh buat bekal dalam kubur esok-esok.
Madsyah: Dalam kubur mana ade kedai!

Ustazah geleng lagi...

Along said, if she were the ustazah, she would quit after the second day. Haha. But this ustazah is very persistent and patient. Dealing with small kids, she has 1001 ways to explain something to them. When one student asked, why don't we put the 'pengusung jenazah' in the grave, together with the dead body? I might go blank, but she funnily answered "Of course we can't do that. Someone wants to use it after this". If you were the ustazah, what will you answer then?

A Day with Kindergarten Children

I know that my younger sis, Iwa, has been one of the teachers in my aunt's kindergarten. Well, of course it's a temporary position since she's already got admitted to UiTm Dungun at the end of this month. And it's been a long time since she offered me to teach with her...Her reason was? Dah tak tau nak ajar apa and budak2 makin nakal...ekekek

So, I went to the kindergarten yesterday. My first impression was? Well, the kids were nice.They sat quietly at their own seats and patiently wait for the class to begin. Mad Syah, my lil naughty cousin,who's also a student in that class, also behaved well-which made me felt a bit uneasy and weird..But then my sis whispered to me, don't be fooled by their action. It's too early in the morning that they hadn't warmed up yet. Plus, some of them were still having the post-school break syndrom...So, I kept her advice on my mind..

Can you imagine how fast a kid can change? Not even 10 minutes after my sis's reminder, all the kids were everywhere! Some were trying to turn on the tv to watch their favorite "The Little Mermaid"..two of them started a small, fake fight by pretending to be contenders in a wrestling match. And Madsyah? huh...he started showing hie true colors..hahaha..students were yelling from every corner. "Teacher...Madsyah khenat (usik)!". He once kicked a lil girl's butt and throwing a piece of paper to the other friend-just the same naughtiness he showed at home.

But one thing for sure, all the kids were so cute.They called me and Iwa as teachers since we taught English. Some of them love to get attention from the teachers, so they would constantly ask questions and would sometimes kiss our cheeks. How cute kan.Some just silently sat at their seats and finished the worksheet in no time. All the kids were so lovely and cute. Too bad I'm not feeling well today and couldn't meet them..Feeling bad since I already promised them yesterday...

Hopefully, I'll get to see them again next week..

"Mosquitoes" War

Well...I supposed to share about my weekend in KL, kan...this was what happened last week. I was going to KL with my sis. kononnye nak attend gathering Nubhan and Nubies club and also to meet some old friends that I knew on forum (twinkyyy...kikuu..waaa). Being so excited, we arrived at the bus station around 845 pm and the bus should arrive around 9 pm la kan...we found seats and chatted around with Mom's acquaintance (to be exact, he's my grandpa's nephew)..

From 9 pm...930 pm...still, the bus didn't come.Along then asked the clerk at the ticket counter and he said that all buses would be late that night since there was an accident at Bukit Tujuh.Apparently,it was a trailer crash that caused an extremely bad traffic around that area. The result was?Haa....bas tak sampai la. Even the morning bus(that should arrive around 6 pm) did even even disembark the passengers yet. Even worse? It's estimated the earliest time the bus would come was around 12 am.

So no point of waiting kan? Since we were all starving, we went to a nearby food stall to fill our stomach up. Then back to the station, there's still no sign of a bus coming..

Waiting a bus in the middle of night was surely a challenge. Nyamuk banyak seyhhh...We waited until 2 am before deciding to cancel the trip and go home since we won't be able to make it before the event..

And guess what's the first thing I did once I was home? Yeah..grab Shieldtox and sprayed around my room. Revenge la konon...

To all Nubies...sorry...takde rezki nak jumpe last gathering. To twinky and kiku..waaaaa..nak tgk Syurga Cinta...kene ar tunggu torrent cmnih..And forum, kirim salam akak Billabong mu tk dpt ku smpaikan kpd Nubhan....sob sob..

Congratz My Sis

Excuse my procastination, my dear sis..after almost a week since your graduation then I only blogged about it (not to mention using your laptop and your own pics without permission..eheheh)

Yup..we went to Shah Alam last Wednesday to attend my elder sister's commencement at Uitm Shah Alam. It's good to see my bro and his girlfriend (Kak Saiem..how to spell your name ek??). It's a very hot day..and I was stuck in the waiting hall for almost 4 hours with mom..thank God I brought my newly bought novel (just finished reading 'Heaven, Texas' and now was bored to death due to reading deprivation). Oo..rupernye camnih gaya graduation UiTM..If you came earlier, you could secure a spot in the same hall as the graduates..if not you could only watch the commencement on the provided wide screen in the waiting hall, right in front the main hall.

It's a unique experience since that was my first time witnessing a commencement of my family member(Please exclude my bro's UM's graduation. I did nothing but waiting outside the hall and buying him a bouquet of flowers..ehehe). I could see the big smiles on the graduates' faces..yeah..it's a really big day for them. Whether they had to ride a wheelchair or wearing a cast when receiving the certificates, I guessed it didn't matter anymore..They graduated already!

I wish my sis could come to my commencement as well..though it's still uncertain. I definitely want my mom to attend it. But my sis/bro have to use their own money. PTPTN still ade kn, long?Hehehe..And Abg Yam could easily purchase a flight ticket if he saved a little.(He said he was already trying so hard to save..but his money went directly to his lil sistersss...ehehhe)

And next week, I'll probably spend my weekend in KL again. Agenda?Heheheh..to be story-story later laa...

P/S: Baju grad UiTM cunnnn...tambah cun kalo ade selendang yg dpt angerah chancellor tuh

When the Time Comes..

Story 1

My flight landed on KLIA airport approximately at 6.40 p.m last Wednesday. I immediately spotted my family members (Ma, Abe Yam, Along and Iwa) plus my bro's girlfriend after I left the arrival hall. Mamat was also there, waiting for Ada. We headed back to Kelantan with the last MAS flight at 10.50 p.m. It's good to be back..after 2 years. I unpacked my luggages and was disappointed to find out that most of my cups had broken (Aku bli a set of 8..tinggal 2 jek okk). Well, takde rezki nak wat cmne kan (That's what my mom said). We weren't sleepy at all, so we had a very late supper at 2.30 a.m. (Yes, my family is adapting to U.S. time, not the other way around..haha). When we're ready to sleep, my mom suddenly broke the silence..

Mom: Tau tak, Mok Jaghoh (My grandma on my father's side) dah mati?
Me: Ya Allah..bilo?
Mom: Senin arituh..
Me: Bakpo?
Mom: Keno bunuh..rumoh masok oghe cughi

I expected answers like "Sakit tua..or sakit lamo doh", but this was definitely out of question. I was shocked, surprised..after all, that was the very first news that I received after coming home. My mom said to wait until I had my food, calmly settled down before breaking out the bad news. Along (my elder sis) handed me in Harian Metro, which reported the death of arwah. My aunt's face was on the page, crying bitterly. Suddenly, I felt bitter too. Arwah that I knew was a strong woman, although she's already 84. She might have some hearing problems, but she's generally healthy. My aunt's family was still mourning, not to mention that they had to entertain the police's investigation almost everyday. Thanks God the investigation was almost over and the culprit was also arrested.

Story 2

I just met Far's mom to give her the package from Far when I received the second bad news. She mentioned that Far was already on her way to State College after spending a few days at Smoky mountain. I went upstairs to check my email and saw a message from Nisa with the subject 'bulan'. I had a few things on my mind.. was Nisa talking about Bulan, our freshman or is it a forwarded tazkirah about bulan-bulan Islam. I read her email a few times and couldn't believe it. She passed me a message that Bulan (our freshman) had passed away. I told myself that I can't receive 2 death news in a week. I immediately smsed her and asked for details. Arway tragically drown in a fall area in Smoky Mountain. I bet Far didn't tell her mom yet as the latter didn't mention anything to me. Far must be worried and sad, too...Although I'm not that close to arwah, he's still someone that I personally know. I was told that he's scheduled to fly back to Malaysia tomorrow (Thursday). I feel sorry for his family and all my Penn State friends, especially those who were in the same trip as him.

I told my mom, and she said "Bila dah tiba masanya.." Yes, when the time comes, there's nothing we could do. In both instances, nobody could have predicted that my late grandma and arwah Bulan were leaving us this way. There's no age restriction..That's one thing I learn. It's a theory that everyone knows, but most do not want to believe until it happens to people around them.

I pray for the success of my late grandma's case and hope that my family members' and Bulan's stay strong. I'll always remember them in my doa..insya-Allah. Al-Fatihah.

"Bunga-bunga matahari..yang berkembang" (Nyanyi ala-ala kumpulan Feminin gituu). Definitely one of the reasons why I like Spring. Flowers are everywhere.. lovely okkk

Rank 4
Aside from flowers..of course la the weather kan. Nice weather...sunny days (though it's raining these few days). But obviously much better than snow la kan..tak tahan kottt snow jek manjang. Not to mention that winter this year was much longer compared to the past couple years.

Rank 3
Great events and courses throughout Spring semester. Spring semester always had better events compared to Fall..either organized by MASA or other organizations. Malaysian Night this year was fantastic, fantabulous, awesome, boombastic, lost of words dah. International Spring Festival was not bad either. Last week, we had a presentation in HUB as a part of our Biotech class's requirement. Jadik maskot jagung arituh, bleh?Hehehe..too bad la..I wish someone snapped my pic wearing the 'corn mascot' thing..Classes were not too bad either. Since the classes were getting smaller (as we were focusing more on our major courses), we got to know more friends this semester. Of course my fav class would be Chinese. Great classmates with great learning experiences!

Rank 2
