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...

Just write...

Someone told me that I need to just write. My feelings, my experience, my travel, anything... Just write them down... Make a schedule and find a time. Don't be too critical on yourself or you won't even start... That would be almost the same message that I've given to my students. but I suppose for a different purpose. To my students I ask them to read and write a lot. Just practice writing as much as you can. You may start shaky and you'll be rereading and rewriting what you've written, but practice makes perfect. writing helps you clear your mind. Writing sharpens your delivery skills for your assignments... Anyway, I hope this is a start. the beginning of a scheduled blog post. I hope I can share a lot with people (well not really).. But I guess what's important is that I'm sharing... perhaps in the future, if there are things that I've forgotten I may be able to look back into my notes and perhaps there's life events that I would cherished in...

My Sydney (Kingsford)

 My first time boarding a flight is to Sydney Australia. Never in my wildest dream to cross the oceans to live outside Malaysia for one and a half years. But it happened.. It really did happen. I was young then. Just graduated the year before and worked to fund my IELTS examinations and other preparations before flying off to the Wallabies Island. It was quite a terrifying thought as the furthest that I've been on my own was when I took the express bus to Perak to attend an interview. I remembered the day before. We had a small feast at home. Organised and prepared by the villagers. I was considered the first who went abroad at that time and in a way became the pride of the village. It was overwhelming to see how high was people expectation towards myself.  The day we left for Sydney I didn't know what to expect. Being a control freak I've checked out the university's website for more than 10 times. I even printed all the information that I thought may be useful (bus / ...

Write all the recipe for me...

As always, we had a chat on the way back from school. The girls were hungry and asked what's for lunch. Well, since mummy was at home in the morning I've prepared a simple lunch for us. Masak tempoyak Ikan (fish in fermented durian gravy) and  kacang botor goreng (fried winged beans) for mummy and daddy, fried chicken, fried fish and chicken soup for the kids. "Wow! So delicious mummy..." Mentioned Athiya. Then my little darling Alana said, "all mummy's cooking are delicious. When I grow up can you write all the recipe for me so I can cook delicious food like you?" Well my dear, you just know how to please me...as always. Insya Allah, when the time comes I'll teach you all that I know. I might not have the orange and torn recipe book like your late grandmother, but I'll make sure I jot down all the recipe that I know and especially those that you enjoy eating here in my blog. For you guys to see and maybe to refer to when I'm gone. InsyaAllah...
