So many stories to tell..  

Posted by hidayah

Despite my not-so-good mood last week, I managed to enjoy myself and have fun. Well, how can I still be moody when I have so many 'jamuan raya' to attend? Surrounded by scrumptious raya cuisine and delicacies really made my day :P. I actually got so many pictures taken by so many people, but I don't have time to organize the photos. I'll get it posted soon as I'm done with my 'kerja hakiki' :D

On the other hand, my previous entry really made some people wonder.. who's the not-so-lucky people that was mentioned by me? What actually happened during the 'ad-hoc meeting'? Well.. to make the story short, I lashed out during the meeting - expressing how I feel at that moment. I even gave time to my 'anak2 buah' to open up and tell whatever they have in mind. For me, a leader must be able to accept criticism. Everyone is not perfect, and so do I. After the 'sesi luahan hati dan perasaan', I feel relieved. When I'm angry or upset, I am the type that will let everything out, and left nothing inside. Yelah, nak buat apa simpan2 dalam hati lagi. So immediately after that, I'm calm and collected as before the situation happened. I work as usual and profesionally with my 'anak buah' as if the 'meeting' never happened before. Again, I don't know if there are still some 'anak buah' that are keeping things to themselves..

Enough about that. Now this week is the busiest week ever.. with so many academic matters need to be done before the final exam. Simultaneously I am in the process of scheduling an interview with the American Embassy, in order to get our visas done. Also, I'm excited about this week -- preparing for Fatihah's 1st Birthday :P

Okay, people. I need to get back to work. More updates soon. :D

Kecik hati sgt2...  

Posted by hidayah

Aku sedih hari ni. Plus kecik hati sekali. If u're in my shoes, how do you feel? Here's what makes me feel that way -->


My term as Head of Department (HOD) ends December 2008. (That's approximately 2 months to go). I'm fine with it, yelah.. I'm leaving for my PhD in January 09. Of course I'm thinking of the most suitable person to replace me as HOD. In my case, it's hard to choose since most of my 'anak buah' all are kinda new people (baru 1 or 2 year experience). Most of the senior lecturers are on study leave. There is one person, though.. yet I dun think she's suitable.. too much things happened when she replaced me during maternity leave before...


However, the reason of my unstable emotion today is merely the fact that there are some 'anak buah' yang sort of 'ganging up' on me right now, and turn to the one person tu as if she's the new HOD. Hellooooooooo, I'm still the HOD okay... There are tremendous things that I need to get done, and I need help from my 'anak buah', and why the h*** are they (a couple of them) obsessing her and mengadap sgt dia as if she's in charge? (mind my language, I'm seriously PISSED). Kalau ye pun ko nak gulingkan aku, buang masa je.. lagi dua bulan je pun aku jadi HOD. So, can't u people bear with me for 2 f***ing months for the sake of getting the job done?


Fuhhh.. Sorry people. Aku nak luahkan perasaan. Kecik ati nak mampuss... My term as HOD still berjalan lagi, buat aku macam patung je... So, conclusion is.. I'm calling for a meeting.. and guess what? Aku nak cakap direct je... biar masing2 tahu situasi sekarang..geram aku!!!

Kerinduan ini .. bila sesekali datang bertamu...  

Posted by hidayah

Heh.. tajuk bunyi macam jiwang.. haha.. tetiba je terasa kerinduan yang teramat sangat pada insan-insan tertentu. Bila duduk2 tu, rasa macam nak ulangi saat2 indah bersama. At this very moment, I really miss..


a) My Masters classmates - Min, Baya, Balqis, K.Ina, Zura, K.Aizan, Wan, Din, Nazri, Cik Kai, Hasli dan lain-lain.. 2 tahun belajar tu serasa kami memang close sangat2.. lunch sama2, lepak sama2..buat discussion sama2.. memang best la saat itu.. kitorang yg ladies ni asyik tumpang kereta Hasli je nak ke mana2.. maklumlah dia bawak kereta baru time tu.. hehe..


b) My childhood friends - Marina, Hazirah, Jainy, Sanjeeta, Monitha, Alwi, Paw, Mus, Salahuddin, etc.. ni kira member sekolah rendah and menengah.. kitorang membesar bersama, so ada la kisah2 lucu and sedih yang kami kongsi bersama.. bilalah boleh reunion dgn diorang ni ek...


c) My gang at Kolej Cempaka Kenanga, UiTM Shah Alam - Izlin, Wani, Rima, Marlinah, Eju, Inas, Naim, etc.. kitorang ni kira 'otai' kolej ah.. mmg kaki kecoh.. kengkonon glamer satu kolej la tu.. haha.. then waktu ni la ada yg develop crush dgn org itu la, org ini la.. so we share quite a few things and we definitely had an enjoyable life sepanjang time buat diploma dulu..


As in memories that I missed...

i) Beraya selamba je gi rumah orang walaupun tak kenal.. hehe.. that was masa sekolah rendah dulu.. best je bila dapat duit raya...masa tu la sibuk nak compare sapa dapat duit banyak..


ii) Gi outing dengan geng masa kat UiTM dulu.. merata gak la kitorang pergi..bila weekend kalau aku tak balik rumah, ada je arah nak dituju.. time tu memang best and happening sungguh.. kalau naik bas, serasa kitorang yg conquer bas tu.. haha


iii) Shopping masa belajar kat US dulu.. memang saje tunggu thanksgiving week, masa tu memang shop till u drop lah kiranya.. mana taknya, sale gile2, byk jugak la borong... hopefully next year ada la kesempatan nak bershopping kat sana lagi :P

Apa lagi ye? Actually, banyak memories yang kalau boleh aku nak ulangi semula.. tapi there's too much to write.. cukuplah di atas tu dulu..


*I'm walking down memory lane *sigh*

Cold Feet!  

Posted by hidayah

This week I've been digging information on visa application, browsing through the Iowa State's Uni (ISU) website in order to get a glimpse of what I should do/prepare before school starts. I was then suddenly getting cold feet. Reading on all the graduate school requirements, preliminary exam and stuff related to a doctoral degree makes me nervous. Then the big question pops up - Am I physically and mentally prepared? for the PhD? Then comes the other related what-if questions. Mostly negative. So there. I am getting cold feet as the time passes. Timecheck - it's less than 3 months till I leave for PhD.


Reading a book - "PhD: Kecil tapi Signifikan" by Prof Dr Muhd. Kamil Ibrahim from UiTM, loaned by K.Anisz created an undescribable pool of emotions in me. I am nervous as hell, oh yeah. Simultaneously I'm excited, plus a little bit of unsure. Will I get through it? My previous supervisor, PM Dr Ahmad Ruslan - when I was doing my Masters told me -" PhD stands for Permanent Head Damage". Haha. Seriously? My guess it depends on individual. But my friend Sam who's in the final stage of completing her PhD at ISU said it's tough work. I can only prayed that I'll get through it.. Insya Allah..


By the way, it is a good book to read especially for people like me, intending to pursue my PhD - it does give an insight on what to expect while doing a PhD, preparations and such on that matter. As I am counting the days to go to the States, the nervous I am!
