to wear or not to wear

I visited the university health centre this morning after feeling unwell last night..(light fever & cough). I was so worried and I am now as well if I could be one of them who has been quarentined somewhere out of the university's area. with masked people everywhere my heart and feeling started to worry and wondering if am going to be among of those who has the symptom of the H1 N1.
when i entered the medic room the MA ask me the most popular and common question nowadays (do you have any fever?)...I said I'am having the cough a few days back and i'm not sure of that but I said that am feeling a bit dizzy and uneasy so he started to take my body temperature. he said that if my body temperature is more than 38'C i will be quarentined but luckily mine is 37.2'C (slight fever as he said). then he started to question me like..."where did i go yesterday?"..."did I went to a crowded place?...and "since when I got this feeling of unwell?"... actually I was so worried when he started to question me with things like that I mean if it could be the reason for me to be quarentined. before I left he was kind of asking me a favor to wear the mask for the sake of me and myself and he mentioned that so far there is no cure for this outbreak...I started to be worried again and feeling guilty......

PhD? Oversee?


I was so shocked when my head of dept. ask me to do my PhD this year and must be at oversea university..she said that it is the Dean's request (but it sounds like an order...hee)...for a moment my head started to think bout my preparation, my parents...and of course about the house that i'm moving out and in...there are so many things to be done...and one big question? Am I ready? Mentally?..no! Phsically?...Yes.. so what is actually the most important thing? physical aspect or mental aspect?..i wanted to do my PhD actually by next year and i'm in the process of preparing myself to that but I should say it is not so "radical" ...slow but progressing. the main ingredient is MOTIVATION and i'm lacking of it but today as i'm having the YM session with my close friend Yati (UniKL) she gave me 1 of the motivation factor that is to have a Dr. title before my name..that's interesting and i am sure that my mak and abah will be proud of it..(i have to make them proud of me..that is one way of repaying for what they have done to me..i will and ALLAH is here with me)...

Well, PhD at oversea university..sounds ok but as so many things to be done such as IELTS, research methodology course, visa etc..etc...huh! sounds very demanding but I might wanna try..my best buddy is studying at Oz now think I can do the same thing too......

G.I (Government Issue) Joe

I was having a great time last night after watching the movie of G.I.Joe. It was an action-packed movie that is worth to spend rm9 for a ticket. the best part of watching this movie was sharing the great moment with my friends. There's nothing more I could talk about this movie coz i have uploaded the thriller of the movie to this blog so that you could see for yourself, but I'm going to share what i enjoy most about going for movie with my gang. Well, normally we will set the date for our so call 'monthly gathering' and to what activity(s) that we are up to and most likely movie or karaoke but there are times that we went for special treat which depends on who gets the "duit terpijak". Yup! sharing is the right word for this ritual (is it so? hahaha) and that's what people say..'sharing is caring' (but i reminded my female students that 'sharing is suffering' hehe)...yup we have been enjoying this for quite sometimes.
Hmm...getting back to the great moment..after we had our viewing or 'pitching lari' session we will head up to Ramly Corner (I'm not sure corner or stall..weird coz i have been hang out there for several times and never care to check what is exactly the name of that place)....and we will spend times there having casual conversation (some people say it's gossiping.......absolutely NOT, it's information sharing and transferring!). I think sometimes we need to take things easily........go with the flow while at the same time protect your believe and never feel that you are not important.

back to basic


this week i think i work a bit slow...i mean normally i juggle 2 or 3 tasks at one time but this week i can breathe easy..just concentrating on my real job of attending classes and give lectures to students.though i have one new task to add in the list (sending my youngest sister to high school (musical hahahah) early in the morning everyday at 6.30am or 6.45am i consider my phase this week is slow... I guess this is my day (or) week to stay easy and relax coz the nightmare is coming....working days for Saturday and Sunday this week. personally i think to work on Saturday and Sunday is never be any difference coz i was (haha am quitting the job) a fellow then where i have to work extra during public holiday (of coz i'm an easy target coz am single no hubby no kids to spend time with..guess that is a very typical "psycho" excuses for my fellow mates who are married..got husband to be entertained (the case of PJJ)..my kids need me..and the list goes on...)so i am OK to work on those days. plus i also doing my part time job as a tutor on similar days. well i have to enjoy this week to the fullest! BTW going for movie with my gang this week...

finding the right location


i have been looking for the right rental house which is preffered to be in the middle of "civilisation". personally i am the one who do not want to trapped in one location which i work and live there. i like to make new friends and socialise with them. some seniors advised me to just rent a house or maybe bought one in where i work but i have different thought that is to break away from this craziness. that one thing for sure is that i am bored living in the same ambience since i have started my work here.
