Acted Like a Jerk

Salam.. the jerk I wrote wasn't referring to others tp, it was me. I drove like a jerk yesterday.. Kene masuk peti ais nih.. bg cool..

FAULT BEING SINGULAR

Salam.. Memandangkan my friend Suki has written about what people have said to those still being single, I suddenly feel the urge to write something that has been said to us (kengkawan in the same subset).

Ada satu ketika when I did some gotong royong in the hot sun with friends (proses pemindahan ke tmpt kerja bru).. ada one guy friend said.. "Ksian, panas dan itam la awak orang nnti". I replied "takpe, dh biasa". Tak semena-mena one married Pempuan friend said, "eh, kita takpe, dah kawin, orang yang bujang la kesian..gelap kang, turun plak saham. (owh..kita wat ksimpulan, married ones tak main saham).

Ada plak statement dari org yg sama ni..time berbual2, waiting for a presentation.
Bachelor 1: Aku ingat susah la nk smbung PhD ni.. Tak daya rasanya.
Married Pmpuan: Ho yelah.. Aku rasa, kalau ko sambung, tak kawin2 la ko rasanya..
Me: What the heck? (dlm ati)

Situation lain:
Married Pmpuan : Eh, dia tu bila nk kawin eh? Suh la dia kawin cpt2..
Bachelor 1 yg tadi: Ntoh la, aku pun tak tau.
Married Pmpuan : Kata ke dia, duit dh banyok..mende lagi dia nk tnggu...
Me: (Kesimpulannya, duit banyak = kene kawin) hihihi..patutlaaa still singular

Tak kira ke mana jua.. mmg byk la statement2 yg menunjukkan kehebatan orang bujang nih keluar dr mulut rakyat2 yg tak berapa nk sensitif pada isu2 lain. (statement yg ala2 perli jugak tu kott)

cth: Awak takpelah.. boleh la pegi (wat keje2 luar/kursus etc).. Takdok anak kecik. (huh! pdhal ramai lagi org beranak pinak p jugak, terkejor2 pun p jugak..) owh..lupa..I have no social life kan?

cth: Alah, sukan ni pun awak je la main. Kita2 ni dh jadi mak orang (pdhal ramai je mak2 orang yg bersokan sama) Kesimpulan= org bujang memang takde pnyakit/halangan dlm bersukan. Bersyukur je lah.

Agak pelik sbb conclusion yg dibuat ialah this particular people akan memusingkan apa2 jua situation to marriage, being married and anything related to being unmarried. I am so thankful I befriended those yang tak akan memutar2 pada hal yg sama ni sahaja, although they are married. It's not the only thing we think of after all..

MENU HARI RAYA

Salam.. though AidilFitri dh lama berlalu.. I just wanted to share our Hari Raya menus.
Since this raya we've (mum and me) decided not to raya sgt...we just prepared Kopitiam's Menu. Seriously... everybody else blk kg mertua.. so.. we wanted to rest2 a bit..

These were the menus: Teh O, Kopi O (airbatu beli 3 kampit..langsung tak guna... malas nk amek dr freezer)

Roti putih and sardin and homemade pandan kaya. Haa.. seriously

Malas la nk fikir2 dh, apa org akan fikir kalau hidang this and that. Kali ni fikir..apa yang akan menyenangkan kita. Hasilnya.. on the 1st raya.. 4 buku roti abis. Kopi O dibuat berulang kali..(dlm jag2 yg besar). Bagus..tak payah nk hangat2 lauk.

p/s: teringat dulu... ada yg mengata "tak buat dek org, roti canai berlauk time raya". Yg pasti..suka ati kita la kan...rumah kita..

Kenalah bersabor

Salam..

I think that all I've written so far was frustration. Maybe it's time to write on how berlapang dada and penyabarnya kami:

- Last night there was a test. It was a mutual decision that it's going to start at 8 p.m. hoping, dictation will be read at 8:15. Tetapi, at 8:20 p.m. the class is half full? (kunun2 looking at things positively) and the present students called those still missing. I heard: "hah? ko ktne?..mi celup?" "klas kul 8 laa.. bkn 8.30".. BTW, kelas hapa? TEST lah!
- I tried to sabar pusing2 kuar kls.. tak ckp pape
- 8:40: ada la mai.. snyum2, lenggang lengguk.. Sabor..
-10:35: Knp nak print nama file lain? tak sabor.. Arahan jelas terang tak yah bersuluh dh.. Sound je

Today:
2:30- Kanak2 bersepah lagi... tak masuk kls.. well, test starts at 2:45 anyway
2:45- Miss, sorang g oral test.. takpelah
3:15- Miss, yg sorang blk kg.. emergency. (i belieb NOT!)
Sabor je laa

Senarai tasks to be submitted on Monday at 2 p.m.:
2 unmarked graded tests
1 unmarked common test
1 Quiz that will be conducted on that particular Monday
1 checklist marks for pt 1
1 presentation marks for pt 1 (to be calculated)
etc2..
Our patience? Priceless..

TidOW..

Time dlm kelas, baca dictation, I was aiming for this student.. Trying to make sure she won't fell asleep. I kept knocking her desktop partition.. and ok la... she didn't doze off. Tp.. kejap lagi, when I moved to her side, trying to keep a look on others.. molek aku toleh je..TDO!.. aduuuu.. pls la girl.. jgn shuijiao! Then, I remembered I used to sit in front of this particular law class, hoping that I won't fell asleep while taking notes.. Too bad. But today... it's different. Test tuu.. Nak geget je budak nih!

lift off!

Salam.. it's Friday. The day I presented the article reviews. I did just that.. with limited audience. Takpe2. Lagi syukur sbb I don't have to face any additional questions from them. I did last minute work (dapat sebulan dulu), tp was still debating (dgn diri sdiri) on the topic. Takut tak sesuai.. last2, belasah je la.. Effect on Instant Messaging pd Student's Writing Abilities.

Tak tersempat and takut silap kalau nk translate article English.. blasah je la, ckp cmpur2. Yang penting, what suits me atau dgn kata lain.. apa yang sempat je laa. The audience were nice..kikiki.. I was afraid of the questions given by the future PHD holders.. Mak tak suka nk jwb, tak retih...
Tp he was just giving his opinion..well, that, I can take. Thanks to friends yg tak lokek opinion.. Kalaula audience terpikir apa yg ahli lorong I boleh komen... I'm dead meat!

Hik hik..suka.. rasa something has been lift off me! Yeay.. ok.. projek seterusnya.. buat balik keje2 tbengkalai sbb susah ati ke mende nih.

Cabaran Sem Ni

Salam. Cabaran bulan Ramadhan pada sem ni, bukan terletak pada menahan diri dari lapar, dahaga semata, tp cabaran kami lebih pada perasaan yang bercampur baur, sedih, kesal dan terkadang terpaksa menahan marah.. Yang terkadang tu, dari kadang2 dah jd acapkali.

This sem, it looks like the roles that we play has been updated, the scope of responsibilities widened and the challenges Subhanallah.. Keadaan2 yg never before tjumpa, tidak lagi pelik to us.

Ranges of responsibilities such as Ceti : Collecting payment for certain fees/activities is ongoing. Not forgetting collecting payment of books. (buku sem 3, sem 5 tak abis byr).
Data Administrator: recording not only marks, but students details, pics, any info for superiors-stdnts' and ex-students whereabouts, landed jobs, field they pursue...blah blah. Counsellor: Being a place for them to tell their problems (most problems created by themselves);"my friends badmouthing me", "I have trouble waking up early", etc2.. owh..lupa.. keadaan2 yg pelik tu, includes : kanak2 yg taknk contact mums and dads.. went missing , till parents got sick(literally sick ok?).. kita je yg naik sick of mereka yg buat hal nih, yg tipu kow2, tahap dewa-dewi punya tipu, financial probs, sakit yg lethal lah..etc2
Psychologist/Counsellor: Tempat mums and dads mengadu their problems.. etc2.

I am not complaining (pdhal sounds like it, though), but bila tgk2 balik kesah ceritera mereka2 ni.. maybe they have nothing else to do. I mean, look at the scenario of friends badmouthing their own best friends. They ain't have nothing better to do right? They don't have to think about financial probs, aiming to pass etc. Because everything is easy now. Chance to further studies are right in front of them, it's only a matter of nk taknak je. Instead of having fake financial problems, they ought to go to a personal financial mgt course. There are those who work to pay for their studies, but failed to inform us. Remarks such as :tu lah, knp Miss tak tanya, kenapa Miss tak tau?" akan terdengar. Hmm...It helps us to help them if we know their real situation. Sure, mmg sgt btul. Tp, nk mmbetulkan smua keadaan tu tak sllunya mudah. Dan tak selalunya masa pembtulan dilakukan, kita akan "berhemah"..
