Being ahead....

I always that I've been left behind. Last time once we got married, we were expected to have kids... yet only after four years then we have our first child... Same goes with my job. I worked hard, I do all the things that people asked me to do. I have been a slave not only to the organization or my boss, but to my students as well. And what did I get? I was left behind with my research, and of course my confirmation. Now, I have two kids... more than other people who have kids earlier than me. I suppose it is a good sign. I am also working on my promotion... I hope Allah would listen to my prayer. I have worked hard for it and I hope that I could be ahead of everybody else...

Me, a long holiday... or is it?

I've given birth to my second child Alana Imtiaz Az Zahra on 6th of February 2010. That is actually almost a month earlier than when she's suppose to born. Anyway, since I've given birth I'm entitled to a 60 days maternity leave. Well it's a long holiday if you look at the number of days. Yet it seems so short since there's a lot for me to do. I have one program to organize, one paper to write and not to forget one research to finish. Oh... and a special project to be finished. I just hope I can do them all and by the time I finish my holiday I'll be free of these commitments and I can continue resting a bit.

Fraud....

Hm... dah 20 minutes in the office yet I haven't started with anything yet... Well, I have checked all my emails, browse through my facebook and now writing on my blog. What I haven't started is doing my work. Since my papers are still yet to come, I'm yet to be busy with marking. And this is suppose to be the best opportunity for me to write papers or do research. And I choose to do research. The problem is... I'm researching the ebay and looking for warehouse sales around... Anyway, that's not my main story for today. Has anyone ever used ur name for any purpose without you knowing it? Well someone have used mine. A student actually used my name to ask for permission to do a thesis somewhere. The problem is... there's no thesis that my students must prepare... and furthermore the subject that he quoted in the letter doesn't even exist. I'm so furious to hear about it. I dunno what's his motive and why did he do that... I feel like slapping him on t...

Our love nest...

We moved in to our houseabout a year ago. It was around two weeks before Raya. At first we thought of making it our holiday home since my husband still had his contract as hostel fellow in UNIMAS. But once we stepped in to the house we know immediately that this is our place. And we decided to move in straight away. There's a story behind the house actually... As other couple plan properly how they will b uy their house and how they are going to finance their house etc., it is a totally different case for me and my husband. It was one morning not long after we got married. It was Saturday and we were driving to a mamak stall for breakfast. Suddenly we saw some signs saying about new housing area called Muara Tuang Park. My hubby suddenly asked me to get the phone number of the company. At breakfast we discussed the possibility of having a house of our own. After breakfast we went straight to the developer's office to check out the price and all... there and then we decided tha...

Hari Raya 2008...

We went back to Semenanjung this year... as mentioned before we spent most time on the road... Initally we didn't want to go back. But suddenly my hubby had a soft heart and he said both our mothers cried last year because we didn't go back so he didn't want them to cry again this year... I suppose it is a valid reason to go back. Or on the other hand, maybe it was my hubby who's going to cry?... Anyway, we did flew back to Semenanjung. We did go to both our parents' houses even though we only spent less than 2 days per house to celebrate Raya. Yet we enjoyed this year round more than ever. Why? Because we met the new members of both families... on my hubby's side there's Sohail Naveeed AKA Deepy... his brother's 5 month old son. With his cheeky smile this boy has always have things going on in his mind. When there's only a few of us at home he is so cute and nice. He would stay in his bed and play on his own.... But when there's so many people a...

Raya Fever... or my own laziness

Yesterday was bad.... really2 bad. I can't imagine forcing my feet to walk to class. Lucky there's no one there in the class. Yes I should be angry at my students because they didn't come to class. Yet I feel thankful because I'm so tired. The Raya week has just passed. But the Raya fever seems to influence everyone including myself. Imagine having a one week holiday and you spend most of it on the road. Literally on the road. We took a flite from Kuching to JB, then drove from JB to Rompin. On the first day of Eid we drove from Rompin to Endau and then to Kuantan... and we finished the day by driving from Kuantan to KL. We spent the 2nd day of Eid in Kajang and Kl... then the next day we drove back to Rompin... Took a rest for one day and drove back to JB before board on a flite back to Kuching... See... when you think you have the whole week for yourself to enjoy, you actually have only 2 days to have quality time with your family. The rest of the days are for you to ...

The urge for infomation....

I did something really2 stupid. I dunno why I did it but I guess you wouldn't know what you did was stupid until you did it. Can you get what I mean? I guess you can. Anyway, what i did was not a major life threatening thing and I haven't sold my soul to the devil. I just messed with my lotus notes. Actually I've just got my new pc. So, as a kid trapped in an adult's body... I would definitely try to check on what's new with the new pc. After checking all the basic things and realizing that there's nothing special about this new Windows Vista except most of the applications that I need are not compatible with it, I changed my attention to my lotus notes. At first i just want to insert back the mail archive that I managed to save from my old pc into this new pc. Yup, I manage to do it. Now... there would be other things that I can do with this thing. Let see... there's a replace your database button... what will happen if I replace my database. Will I get som...
