Weekend with family November 19, 2007

This weekend is like the rest of weekends – spent with family.

On Saturday, I woke up late and had branch at around 11.30am. Then we went to City Centre to window shopping and to find something for Kyle’s birthday later this evening. From 99p-TJ Hughes-Yafai Store. At the end we bought something at TJ Hughes. Went back to our home to wrap the present – Hazeeq was so excited about wrapping it in Christmas theme. He even wrote something nice as birthday wishes on the wrapper(yes, we forgot to buy a card). Around 3.30pm, we went to Jungle Mania where the Kyle’s birthday party was held. Hazeeq showed Kyle the present he bought. We left him there and promised to come back around 6.15pm. Me and Mizee went to Meadowhall Shopping Center – one of the largest shopping mall in UK (or is it the largest?). The idea is to aim for some catchy items for the next Boxing Day (hehehe). On the Boxing Day I have planned to conquer the Meadowhall. As soon as Mizee got home (around 6.00am), we will go to Meadowhall and shop for some things. Hey, I’m a shopper with aim, alright That is what I intend to be and the window shopping thing we’ve done today is one of the preparation, k? (hehe). Well, for those who doesn’t have any idea about Boxing Day, it will fall on 26th Dec every year where massive bargains will be offered to clear items for that year. People used to queue outside the shopping mall as early as 4am and the shops will open earlier than usual around 7am. So, I’m not that hype.

On Sunday, I cooked Ayam Masak Merah and Nasi Pilau (a bit like Briyani actually, Pakistani’s dish). Took about 3 hours to cook (yes, I’m a lousy cook) – but looks delicious, isn’t it? All PMPMS AJK have to cook about 2kgs Pilau Rice and 2-3 whole chickens. Add up them together, we will have enough food for everyone for tonight’s ceremony. There were a ceramah agama given by ustaz from London, a Malaysian plus some programme to introduce new Malaysian families to the rest of community here. Anyway, only Mizee + Hazeeq went there. I was not going coz afraid it might be too late to arrive home. I need the energy for the next day. So.. as what I promised to myself – won’t do anything to jeopardize my study here, eh?

Does your mind need a lifecycle management tool? November 13, 2007

Huargh..ha.. ha.. I read this article today as part of my quest to upgrade my knowledge in Information Studies field. Michael Lynch lab(the research lab that I’m working now) have this kind of practice where they would circulate subscribed mags and journals to research staff, hoping they will be read and benefits the researchers in some ways. Who is the writer? I didn’t bother to know him, no one had introduced him to me anyway. But I might have to know him soon – he’s funny and hillarious. He made me smile today.. Check out the article : http://www.iwr.co.uk/information-world-review/comment/2193984/does-brain-lifecycle-management

‘Wouldn’t it be great to stamp our thoughts with an expiry date and have a little pinger go off when it’s time to revisit? Then we’d be able to junk or update them, instead of having them fossilise or turn into prejudice.’

‘..Just as documents have a lifecycle, so do our thoughts.’

Anyway, his article reminds me that it’s OK to fossilise some of things happened in our life. And thus, I would delete names that I wouldn’t want to see again in this blog – and still, as time goes by, I might add up the same names again in the future.. we’ll see (hope not!)

Ya tuhan.. I’m so sarcastic these days, am I?

Time to get professional now.. David(the writer) suggested trying Netvibes as digital life manager, a tool to gather information feed, e-mail tip-offs and searches. Recently I’m using iGoogle (not so sophisticated but cute enough) to gather Google e-mails and few useful gadgets (like beauty tips of the day, horoscopes, world clocks, currency converter, countdown timer, live weather etc).

Previously I have mentioned about referring to some of popular blogs for recent techie updates (and also some cute personal blogs-I do admire one blogger, secretly) but I haven’t been there for ages, honestly(I feel guilty now). I might need to use Netvibes to gather the RSS feed so that I don’t look so stupid and feel so ashame of myself

Ohh.. while writing this entry, I did checked out the website : http://www.netvibes.com/. It looks awesome! I might try it soon. Hope I won’t be spending too much time on those

Time to get back to work.

Sejukkkk.. November 12, 2007

Pehh.. sejuk giler pagi ni kat Sheffield.  Suhu sampai 5 darjah Celcius.   Kena pakai long john +  knitwear + jumper lak before pakai long coat kat luar. Autumn ni lebih sejuk dari winter sebab angin kuat.  This week sampai I yang bertdung ni kena pakai neck wrap utk tutup muka/pipi yg sejuk.

Yesterday(Sunday) ada jalan-jalan sat kat TK Maxx.  I ada wishlist utk christmas ni(jgn tak caya).  Nak pergi memborong masa Boxing Day :

1.  Knitwear – nak beli banyak2x
2.  Duvet cover set (double)
3.  Handbag
4.  Long coat for winter
5.  Jeans

Tapi seperti biasa.. org yg cerewet cam I ni biasanya akan jumpa mende lain lak yg dibeli.  Yang paling penting sekali ialah nombor 1 & 2 tu sebab dok mengulang baju yg sama je

Orait.. nak sambung keje.

End of multiply blog November 11, 2007

Warghhh.. penatnya hari ni. I dah buat last entry kat my multiply blog site. sekarang nak beralih ke wordpress sepenuh masa. Just nak update untuk orang-orang di MY.

Alamat rumah : 96, Fir Street, s6 3TH, Sheffield, United Kingdom.

Telefon rumah : (44) 0114 335 2596

Telefon HP : (44) 793 922 6026

Alamat flickr : www.flickr.com/shereen_ma

Rasa lega betul. Lepas ni nak buat maintenance sikit.. masukkan few links and betulkan tagging bla bla.. Sape kata blogging mudah? Especially yang tak reti dok diam cam i nih

Masa pindahkan entry from multiply tu terpikir gak.. masa dulu aktif gak eden ni blogging ek? Sekarang giler tak de masa. Tak tahulah maybe after ni lebih rajin and lebih banyak masa ke. Tengok dulu camana. Bila mai sini fresh tu rajin gak nampaknya mention few names kat sini. Tapi ater some time.. many things changed now. Jauh perjalanan luas pengalaman.. lebih ramai kawan. Yang baik dijadikan teladan, yang buruk jangan disimpan.

Hala Tuju Sekolah Melayu Sheffield November 11, 2007

Pukul 4 pagi kat Sheffield – tak boleh nak lelapkan mata. Banyak sangat pikir sampai tak lena tido. Mengalahkan Guru Besar Sekolah Melayu Sheffield(SMS) la pulak.

Sekarang tengah hangat isu mengapa SMS makin kurang dapat sambutan. Zaman kegemilangannya dulu sampai Shafie Afdal datang rasmikan dan hulurkan sumbangan dari kerajaan Malaysia. Tapi disebabkan dah makin sedikit bilangan pelajar, grant pun segan nak minta.

Kenapa ek? Adakah masyarakat pelajar Malaysia sekarang makin busy study dan tak de masa nak hantar anak ke SMS lagi, tak seperti senior-senior dulu. Atau dah makin ramai di City Centre yang jauh dari Darnall tempat SMS diadakan? Tapi majoriti yang tinggal di kawasan sekitar pun tak hantar. Takkanlah sebab bayaran 2 pound sebulan tu?.. Sebab sikit sangat pun.

Ni pandangan peribadi I sebagai salah seorang ibu la.. tak pikir langsung samada cadangan ni praktikal ataupun tidak – tapi rasanya kemungkinan nak diambil kira tu sangatlah tipis. I tengah berpikir kalaulah ada satu tempat yang I boleh hantar my son after school dari kul 3pm – 6pm untuk ajar mengaji & BM.. tersangatlah bagusnya ;-D. I sanggup je bayar macam after school club nyer fees – like 6.50 pound for 2.5 hours. Macam kat MY lah pulak.. ada sekolah pagi & sekolah agama petang. Kalau dapat buat 2/3 hari seminggu pun cantik sangat. Tapi mesti kat area Citylah.. kalau luar kawasan jauh pulak nak hantarnya. Tapi agaknya kalau depa nak buat kat area Darnall.. maybe banyak jugak sambutan. I ni tumpang jealous campur gembira ajelah. Kalau Sabtu/Ahad tu I rasa ramailah orang yang keberatan sikit. Sebab hari minggu ni hari bersama keluarga. Nak berjalan nanti tak seronok pulak tak de anaknya. Especially yang rajin berjalan keluar Sheffield tu.. sekejap hantar.. kejap tak hantar.. terbantut lak pelajaran budak tu. Tapi ni pandangan peribadi I je. Maklumlah.. lain orang lain agendanya.

Sekarang ni GB tengah tunggu feedback dari sumer org. Kita tunggulah nanti apa hasilnya. Kesian lak I tengok.. GB tu sokmo tak tenang hidupnya.. dah la tetiap minggu kena buka sekolah. Apapun, hopefully akan dapat penyelesaiannya nanti.

A day off November 7, 2007

Today I will sit at home, at least till 6 pm, spending time with Hazeeq. Last nite, when I got into the car after finishing my work, I was shocked to see my son is crying. “Nape nangis nih?”, I said to him. “Ibu dah tak sayang kat Hazeeq.. Huhu..”, dia kata. Sedih betul tgk muka dia. Mmg sad giler sbb ia mmg jenis yg tak suka buat perangai sangat without any particular reason. “What made you saying that? Siapa kata Ibu tak sayang Hazeeq? Kenapa ni?”, I asked back, puzzelled. “Ibu tak nak cakap ngan Hazeeq kat phone. Ibu letak”, he replied. Ohh.. tadi masa I called my husband suruh dia amik I kat keje, I terus letak.. Rupanya dia nak cakap ngan I masa tu. Tak tahupun…

Akhirnya, sampai tidur, dia asyik menangis je. I tidurkan dia, pastu turun bawah sat nak makan utk posa esok. Lama sikit kat bawah, dia merengek suruh I naik temankan dia tido. Since I tengok dia sensitif lain macam je that nite, I pun layan la. Tak pelah posa esok tu. Ada lagi esok lusa nak posa enam .

Sepanjang malam tu tidur dia pun tak tenteram.. asyik terbangun je. Agaknya nak demam. So today, I tgk dia dah ok sikit tapi rasa tak sampai hati nak hantar dia pi sekolah. Badan pun cam dedar nak demam. Tak pelah.. biarlah I dok rumah, away from my research for just one day. Me and Hazeeq je kat rumah. Masa I dok bloggging nih, dia tgh tidur kat pangku I.. baru makan ubat demam. Kesianlah ada anak sorang ni… kesian kat both mommy and the son . Well, sitting at home ni ada lah jugak masa nak blogging both sheffieldmy and SL.

Semalam I terbaca article on Sheila Webber’s blog on Information Literacy. She’s one of our research staff in IS Dept here. The main blog is on Info Literacy, of course. And then she mentioned about her Second Life blog, which is her personal life blog. Haa.. life nowadays camtulah gamaknya – kita nyer personal life dah jadi second life. Yang primary life ialah kita nyer professional life. Talking about the personal life becoming the second life we’re heading to – I ada mende nak tambah sikit kat sini. Sebaiknya personal matter kita janganlah dijadikan agenda lain pulak dlm professional relationship kita. Ada manusia yang rasa nak jadi hero dengan memperjuangkan nasib manusia-manusia kecil(kononnya je kecil) sedangkan beliau tak tahu agenda manusia-manusia kecil tu ialah utk melaga-lagakan sesama manusia lain supaya ada pihak lain disisihkan seperti nasib mereka yang dah buat silap ngan manusia-manusia lain. Satu perkara yg perlu kita ingat – kalau bukan hal kita, jangan campur. Biar mereka selesaikan dengan cara masing-masing – jangan cuba nak take side sebab you can never tell the truth kalau tak dengar daripada kedua belah pihak. Hubungan sesama manusia ni pelbagai dimensi – bukan 2D/3D je – massive dimension! Sekali lagi I nak ingatkan – jangan sibuk nak masuk campur. Kalau depa nak fight, biar depa je fight sebab campur tangan pihak lain selalunya akan menyusahkan pihak-pihak lain. Hubungan yang baik jangan dikeruhkan tak tentu pasal. Kalau you tak de hal ngan I, jangan sengaja nak buat hal. Full Stop. Well, mintak mahaplah kalau ada yang terasa – I cuma nak melepaskan geram yang terbuku. Tapi, trust me.. I honestly appreciate the good relationship we had here. So, I really hope it will continue to grow professionally and with respect.

AJK PMPMS kali ni tersangatlah aktifnya – kengkadang rasa cam tak larat je. Kalau nak kata meeting tu – macam-macam citer kat dlm e-mail. Tapi yang bagusnya majoriti AJK pun aktif dan buat kerja sesama – so, tak penat sgt kalau ada yg uzur sebab nak viva atau anak sakit dsb. If you want to check out our blog, do go to sheffieldmy.wordpress.com. Masih banyak yg perlu update tu – tapi mende dah adalah. Yg maintainnya buat masa ni ialah I sendiri dengan input utama dari Sdr Babul, Sdr Badrul & Ust Hasri. In the near future, I hope Faddly will join me since I know he’s kinda creative and love website maintainance.

Oh ye.. this season the difference between MY-UK time is 8 hours till next March. Makin susahlah nak call MY – akan menyusahkan hidup depa lebih sikit. Bersyukur kita kat MY tak de hidup yg kompleks camni

Oklah kots – nak update sheffieldmy blog lak nih(after buat panggilan ke MY). Hazeeq masih lagi tidur – so nak curik masa sikit. Nanti bila dia dah bangun, nak mandikan dia and buat homework. See ya!

First Autumn Ever October 31, 2007

The view from my window at the research lab (Regent Court).. nice view, eh?

This is my first autumn in my life. On my way back from work, I saw many leaves on quite a sunny day but windy, falling, flying in the air and resting at the side of the pavements. Nice.. beautiful, but I still miss MY.

I worked 5-8.30am today. Huarghh.. have to get up very early in the morning. But I thought it’s not a very good choice coz if the day got messy, I would have to continue to work until 9.30am! When do I start the research then? Well, I guess I need to readjust the time. Maybe I need to go to work 1 hour in the evening and 2 or 3 hours in the morning. Then I would still have time to teach Hazeeq recite Muqaddam and go to sleep at 9pm.. wakeup at 5am and go to school early, if time permits.

Starting last Monday, Hazeeq has been sent to Football camp. He’s very excited about it. I thought it’s a good idea to send him to any sports camp every school holiday as he can improve his social and communication skills. Plus, I don’t have to sacrifice my research time baby sitting him. Last school holiday, he were at home for 3 weeks with me coz at that time I can’t afford to send him anywhere. Today, father of Kyle (Hazeeq’s friend from the football camp) wants to take Hazeeq home to play with Kyle. He had asked for my permission and as he asked politely from Hazeeq and Hazeeq insisted, I have to agree. I don’t want to be rude, but I don’t know exactly how things work here. But I hope he and his wife is okay with it and I hope Hazeeq will behave (I have mentioned this to Hazeeq few time about compromise last nite before we went to sleep). So at 4.00pm today, I will go to Notre Dame High School, meet Mizee and go to fetch Hazeeq together.

The Raya season can still be breathed here in Sheffield. Every weekends people still go and pay visits to friends. I went to Aznul & Maya’s house in Firth Park last Sunday. Plan to go to visit Zubir & Marina on their newborn, then go to Nurul & Syazlan’s for Raya visit and lastly to Subud. The usrah group will hold a video on Sirah Islam this Sunday for 3 hours. I rarely went to any usrah activity lately because I was so busy at the lab. But on weekend like this one, I would like to join, just to keep up with good things happening in my life.

Last weekend, I managed to call my family at MY. Said few things and catch up on some important news from Ayah, Ibu, Piqah, Irfan, Ija, Adeq, Suraya & Ijal. Huarghh.. rindunya kat depa! Ijal akan kahwin tahun depan around Mac/April. Ija baru je keluarkan anak dari perut (kata Piqah). Nama newborn tu Hanis Fitriyah. Semua org panggil Hanis.. Suraya panggil Esah. Hmm.. Kesian la jugak.. makcik doktor tu asyik berulang pi hospital sebab nak buat dressing for a complication she’s having. Anak dia Sue and the gang la jaga. Ramai yg kata macam muka Hazeeq. I dapat tengok foto dia .. alahai.. comelnya.. mmg macam Hazeeq. Rasa cam nak balik je cium baby tu. Pastu call Sue balik, suruh dia pi survey beberapa mende nak suruh hantar ke sini. Duit lagi tu gamaknya

Oklah .. nak buat keje balik. Will update more soon.

Sekian lama September 27, 2007

Sekian lama dah tak menulis apa-apa dlm blog ni.. byk update sebenarnya. Tapi tak leh start menulis lagi. Kalau dah start menulis, tak leh berenti lak. Nak kena start memasak utk berbuka la pulak. Oklah.. just nk bgtau satu mende je.. I have moved from multiply to here. Reason : lembab giler. So, there will be some updates imported from that previous multiply site to wordpress ni. Then, we shall be ready to go! Why do I keen on starting blogging back? Coz I’m so jealous of my friends who got constant updates in their blog and just now, I realised that I could avoid myself from banging my head in the lab coz of feeling sleepy during the day .

What to cook today? I guess it will be masak kurma ayam Bye!

6 months already July 2, 2007

Weii.. dah lama giler dah tak tulis blog ni.. payahnya hidup kat sini barulah eden tau.. lol

Mana nak start ek?.. Firstly, dah 6 months I dok kat bumi Sheffield ni.  Rindunya kat MY!!! Serius.. tak tahu camana ada gak Mysian yang teringin nak PR kat sini. Isk.. isk.. Prof W dah buat 6 months evaluation report utk I.. satisfactory, is my level.  Dah lepas 20 kredit utk upgrade from MPhil to PhD.  Next week nak start new project for part of my data collection – to find new ways for logP from MDDR (MDL Drug Database Report) using holograms.  Why logP?.. it’s used to pull in extreme numbers to readable numbers for easy countify.. like 10 power of 100000.. camana nak compute further kan?..  heheh.. this is one of the answer that I was unable to put in for the last Chemoinformatics 2 assignment.. too late for that

Second.. kereta dah tak boleh guna lagi.  Volvo 440 tu kena scrap laa.. belum hantar scrap lagi tapi akan diaturkan satu hari nanti.  Reason?.. skrew utk buka clutch plate tu dah rosak.. banyak sgt karat.. kereta tahun 1991.. what do u expect?  boleh repair gak kalau nak.. GBP800.  hmm.. baik angkat kereta baru.  tapi setakat nih.. biar dululah.. byk mende lain nak dipikirkan.

Third.. dah jumpa rumah baru kat area Walkley/Crookes.  Jauh dari Uni.. kena naik bas.. tapi masih dalam kawasan city.  Dekat ngan Netto.. supermarket yang giler murah la kat Sheffield ni.  Rumah dia comel.. 2 bilik je.. no extra room for storage(like cellar ke). Hmm.. banyak pulak pantang larangnya.. no nailings.. no new big furnitures.. bla.. bla.. Tapi ada hikmahnya tu, rasanya.  Tak delah rasa nak membeli memende yang bukan2x nanti.  Harapnya dapat berjimat byklah dok rumah baru tu.. dan jauh dari muka2x yang menyakitkan hati Hmm.. anyway.. sekarang tengah kumpul duitlah utk masuk rumah baru.  Hopefully akan ok balik cash balance nih.

Fourth..I kerja 2 shifts sekarang.  Satu kat HSBC.. 7am – 9am.. gaji 200 pound je.  lagi satu kat Notre Dame High School 4pm – 6pm.  Ni gaji 300 pound.  Mizi lak keje pagi kat Uni 9am-1 pm.. around 3-5 days seminggu.  Gaji around 92 pound seminggu.. 360 pound sebulan. Petang lak keje kat City Hall 4.50pm – 6.50pm.  Gaji around 200 pound la sebulan.  Cadangannya.. kontrak keje Mizi tu sampai September 2007 ni je.  Pastu kena carik keje lain.  I pulak nak keje kat Notre Dame High School tu pun sampai September je sebab start October nak keje pagi je (i’ve got a morning weekend cleaner job at the University which pays around 245 pound/mth).  Then.. bolehlah concentrate lebih baik kat keje lab.. boleh stay back lama sikit. Sumer di atas ni keje cleaner ek.  Baru ni buat budget balik.. tetiap bulan perlukan 850 pound utk survive one whole family.  JPA/UKM bagi 776 pound je sebulan.. camana tu?  Prof W sibuk suruh I fight utk kenaikan elaun.. hish.. berzaman dah sumer org try nak fight tapi entahlaa..

Fifth.. dah kena pikir pasal nak raya kat sini.. tak sure la Ibu masukkan bape pasang la baju kurung I.  Alahai.. sayunya rasa

Sixth..  rutin harian yang sangat penat.  Bangun abt 5.30 am .. siap n pi keje kat HSBC.. 7 am-9am.  Tinggalkan jam loceng utk Mizi 7am.. dia akan hantar Hazeeq pi sekolah.  Habis hantar Hazeeq.. akan pi keje pagi dia(kalau ada keje utk hari tu.. sometimes tak de).  I lak terus pi lab after habis keje kul 9am tu.  Stay kat lab tot tet tot tet sampai kul 3 pm.  Solat Zuhur.. then bretolak pi keje kat Notre Dame High School tu lak.  Keje sampai kul 6pm.. then balik rumah.  Mizi akan amik Hazeeq dari sekolah kul 3 pm then sorang student undergrad yg baik hati, org TGanu.. nama Jang (pompuan) akan dtg rumah around 4.30 pm utk babysit Hazeeq.  Mizi pi keje sampai 6.50 pm.  Bila I balik rumah around 6.30 pm tu.. then Jang pun baliklah rumah.  Malam selalunya I tak makan dinner sebab dah tak selera.  Tunggu Maghrib around 9.30pm tu.. (selalu I jamak je Maghrib n Isya’) then terus tido.  Gila betul .. I patut kena bangun lebih awal laa.. sebab Subuh 3.30 am-4.30 am sekarang!  Hai.. missnya MY!!!

seventh.. ada new quest.. nak masak Mysian dish every weekend.  I dah naik bosan la makan mende yang sama je tetiap hari.  Semalam, I masak Nasi ayam.  Mak la hai.. sedapnya!!!  Nasib baik la jadik.  Hazeeq pun kata sedap.  4 pot masak nasi.. sekali hadap je.  I admit mmg I banyak makan .. tapi x tambah nasi ek.  Mizi sampai 3 kali tambah.  Today sebab lauknya ada lagi.. so masak nasi je lagi.  Fuihh.. best betul.

Eigth.. plan utk round UK.  Rizal Tinsley ajak pi Scotland August nanti.  Jan lak ajak round London July nanti.  Nak pegi mana?.. terpaksa pilih satu je sebab byk nak pakai duit sekarang ni.  so.. pi Scotland jelah kot.  Boleh jumpa Mas n Zaki kat sana nanti.  Hee.. rasa sunyi la dok sini.. tak sama ngan geng kat UKM dulu.. best je.

Hazeeq yang comel ni pulak dah makin byk cakap.. cakap cam omputih.  Slang dia.. kalah.  Pastu asyik bercakap and tak leh dok diam.  Manja sangat.  Bila berjalan tu mesti nak melaompat2x.  Yang heran tu.. ngan I je dia dok jalan gitu.  Kalau ngan Mizi elok je jalan nya.  Tetiap hari masa Jang babysit dia.. asyik main online games je.  Bila kitorang balik keje .. suruh dia tutup komputer and tgk tv lak.  after i solat Asar selalunya akan ajar dia Iqra’.  Alhamdulillah dah separuh buku Iqra’ tu dia baca.  Basically dah boleh baca 3 huruf  bersambung.  Semua huruf dah kenal pun cuma sometimes tu tak lancar la.  InsyaAllah 3-6 bulan lagi hope dah boleh start Quran lak.  Kat sini susah la nak dapat CD education Melayu/Islamic.  So kalau rajin tu.. hantar le sikit utk Hazeeq ek.  So at least dia rasa attach ngan MY.

Oklah.. tu je kot takat ni.  Will update more soon.. salam kat sumua.  Salam.

More photos coming in February 28, 2007

Salam sumer,

To make things easier, sebab citer dalam ni hanya utk kaum keluarga terdekat; so semua photos yg ingin dikongsi utk public boleh didapati di http://www.flickr.com/photos/shereen_ma Please make it useful. Blh send the links kat sesape yg nak tgk.. like mak Mizi, Mak Long + Pak Long Pahang, Mak Yah, Mak Su n bla bla..

Dah hampir 2 bulan di sini.. well.. 6 weeks to be exact. Dah buat akaun bank, dah dapat rumah sampai Julai 2007, dah ada best friends (Amy + Azhar), dah terer la jugak pakai public transport. Tiap-tiap minggu kitorang akan keluar naik bas N supertram ke city utk beli barang basah n keperluan rumah. Sumer kuat makan kat sini sebab sejuk. Dan lepas tu balik sakit kaki le.. masing2x bawak 5 kilo dalam beg. Huihh.. jalan berbukit kat sini.. penat betul.

Apa yang belum buat lagi?.. Belum masuk broadband, belum ada telefon post paid(cheaper dari prepaid) and mizi pun belum dapat kerja. Last week dia ada pi satu interview, dia kata nak call Jumaat. Pastu Jumaat dia call, tapi sebab bangun lambat sikit; tak sempat jawab call tu. So peluang tu terlepas la gitu.. apa nak buat?

Research lak oklah.. masih dalam proses membaca. And kalau ada rezeki hujung Mac akan present paper/ try to make contribution for publication. Dan hujung April/May akan hantar 1st chapter theses. Hee.. that’s soon huh?

Pagi ni, lepas hantar Hazeeq pi sekolah, cikgu dia tegur I. ‘Excuse me Shereen, I want to talk a little bit about Hazeeq. Dis he learn English in previous school in Malaysia? He seems to read a lot of English book and he’s done quite amazingly compared to the others. But, he didn’t understand what the stories are about, which I thought might come later on. Anyway, he’s shy and doesn’t talk much in the class though he can read quite well. I’m impressed.’ Huargghhh.. satu recognition tu.. So, Suraya and Ija, and adik2x yg akan ada anak tu, rajin2x la temankan babies membaca before tidur. As Malaysians, we are a champion in long-hours work. Those are times to be spent with the children .. really spend, I mean.. the quality time.

Hopefully everything else akan smooth, especially harap sgt Mizi dapat kerja soon. Salam.
