It's a relief

Alhamdulillah, after all the struggles I had for the past few months, I finally had passed my first stage of proposal defense, last Tuesday. Thank you Allah for making it ends with goodness.It was a tedious, exhausting process where I woke up as early as 4 in the morning to ensure I manage to complete the proposal. The first comment given by the reviewers was- it is really mind-boggling to read the proposal since it is 120 pages, including appendices. Still, I feel it is rather insufficient as I know that there are many other studies that I have not put in due to time constraint. Same goes to my sv and field sv where they also mentioned the same thing. Usually a proposal will be around 30-50 pages. Well, I guess giving more is better than less, right.

For the next 2 months, I will focus more on the papers that I am going to present this November and publishing my study. Hopefully in this 2 months I will be able to complete the submission to the conference and perhaps at least one complete paper for publication. It is quite frustrating because I had to cancel my plan to present my paper at Vietnam and Canada due to inappropriate time. Since hubby is also studying at the same time, it is really difficult to arrange time to go abroad. However, alhamdulillah I managed to attend MELTA conference at  Persada last month, with my family. Though I feel guilty as my husband had to look after the kids in the hotel room and preparing for his final exam at the same time, I guess it is worthwhile.
I also plan to collect data some time in September when the new semester begins.

And this weekend, I am giving myself a few days of break, to spend time with my family. Mak, Along and Angah are on their way to come here and it makes me so excited.

macam2

wow..lama betul tak jenguk blog ni. sejak aku pindah kuantan semula, baru sekali aku update.
well, life has been busier for me. hubby pun dh start kelas master dia, every weekdays till 11pm..he has to go through what i had been gone through last 5 years. tapi skrg lagi kelam kabut sbb dua2 blaja..takpelah, bak kata mak, bukan sng nak carik senang..btw, mum has been here for the last 3 weeks, it has been almost a month and she's going back to PD this weekend. aku amik mak bawak balik sini otw aku balik dr CH during the CNY . It is not just me who is so happy that she's here, my kids the merier. mana taknya, makanan is well served, cooked. nenek pun manjakan cucu2 lebih lagi..huby pun suka sbb hari2 mak tanya nak masak ape..mak kan, mmg mcm tuh. ape2 pun mesti dia dulukan anak dia, taapi dlm kes ni mak aku dulukan hubby aku..huhu, ni yg jeles ni.

Cuti-cuti Malaysia 2012

Alhamdulillah, baru balik dr trip with my husband and kids. This year we went to 2 different location:

15/11/12 : bertolak ke Melaka. Stay at D Village Ayer Keroh. Places visited - Taman Buaya & Reptilia, Zoo Melaka. And of course hubby and I love to try foods which are famous. so we managed to go to Umbai, Selera Kampung (depan menara Tamingsari) & Ikan Bakar Leman (MITC). ok la not bad, but still tak memenuhi piawaian yang ditetapkan.

17/11/12 : balik PD, along dgn angah baru balik haji

18/11/12: Ke Serkam Pantai, kenduri kahwin sepupu hubby. Mursyid n Mukmin tinggal kat PD sbb nya next week kitorang nak balik PD semula

Then,  I had a MUET meeting for 2 days (20-21/11/12). I am supposed to mark the scripts in 2 weeks time, tapi nak buat camne aku dh beli tiket flight 2 bulan awal. so cuti je la..scipts?? bior je la, balik nanti aku mark la..

21/11/12 : Pas meeting MUET kami bertolak ke PD

22/11/12 : Kol 5 pagi abg Farid hantar kami ke LCCT, flight kol 7.05 pagi. sehari ada 2x je flight Air Asia ke Kepala Batas, Alor Setar. Thank you Tony Fernandez, sbb lyan emel aku, and bagi aku credit shell untuk beli tiket lain, tinggal tambah couple of hundreds ringgit je to buy new tickets. The journey only took 1 hour to arrive at SAH Airport. Sampai sana, kete sewa yang aku book dh ready. so kami ke Alor Setar dulu. Nak g  makan laksa kat kedai bawah tangga tepi city point yg aku sellau makan dulu2, tapi dia bukak tengahari pulak. keciwa..kedai tuh bawak bangunan ukur. dulu mmg sedap sgt laksa n cendol dia. so kami teruskan perjalanan menghala ke UUM. Banyak kolej baru. kolej2 yang dulu pun ada yg dh tukar nama, sekarang sume kolej dipanggil Dewang Penginapan Pelajar (DPP). Antara kolej yg dah tukar nama ; kolej Sime Darby (Guthrie), BSN( Perwaja), Pernas (Tradewind) n kolej2 baru macamMuamalat and ada lagi 3 aku x ingat namanya..sebelum tu , masa Otw ke UUM, singgah kat Joe Cendol Pulut. makan mui ,laksa nof course cendol pulut. mmm, sedap la..tapi aku rasa dolu2 punya lagi ada umph.Changloon sekarang dh membangun, dah ada C-Mart, jalan ke BKH...then kami roda uum. asalnya nak tido EDC Hotel tapi penuh, padahal aku tipon 2 bulan awal. last2 dok university inn, dolu2 kolej maybank..petang tuh kami ke BKH, tapi dh tak best. walaupun dh ada bangunan baru tapi tak menarik mcm dulu. akak yangjual jeruk buah tuh pun dh takde.dah 10 tahun kan, apa la aku nih..pastu kami ke Kuala Perlis, apa lagi, makan seafood la kat Mona Ikan Bakar. Malam, budak2 sume dh penat xo tido' awal..

23/11/12: aku g beli breakfast kat Petronas. aku tengok tasik dah tak seceeria dulu, rumput2 pun panjang je. Pas check out , kami menghala ke Perlis, tukar plan sbb University Inn takbest. so i manage to get a seaview room at Putra Basmana Hotel, Kuala Perlis. sampai kat sana,hubby ajak g Kak Su Laksa Beras, dalam internet byk entries pasal kedai tuh..memang sedap la, kalah laksa joe cendol. memang kami makan beria. pastu ke Padang Besarm otw, hubby solat jumaat kat masjid Padang Besar. kat Pdang Besar, kami gilir2 shopping. mula2 aku. hubby and anak2 dok kat tengah tuh, nasib baik ada kerusi. then hubby plak shopping. mmg bankrap la aku, mujur takde ATM kat situ, kalo tak mesti aku cucuk duit lagi bankrap..heheh..pastu kami balik ke hotel..and mlm tuh, apa lagi makan seafood kat K.P lagi la..kami saje amik hotel tuh sbb nya boleh jalan kaki je kat  kedai2 makan tuh. boleh tengok sunset lagi. dolu2 tempat tuh tak la cantik mcm skrg. skrg dh proper and menarik

24/11/12: pas breakfast and check out, kami ke Plaza K.P, beli barang sket lagi sbb semalam tak habis shopping kat Pdg Besar. Bertolak ke Alor Setar, ke Pekan Rabu, shopping lagi. dah tentu aku borong ikan pekasam. risau jugak kalo exceed limit utuk luggage flight.ah, lantaklah..kalo lebih bayor je lah kan. pas shopping  tuh hubby kata nak ke Tanah Merah, Jitra ada Char Kue Teow sedap katanya. Nasibbaik la laki aku ni jenis rajin survey kat internet so senang la, pastu guna GPS je carik kedai tuh. Kedai tuh ada, tapi kedai lain. orang kata Gani Char Kue Teow tuh dh pindah Kuala Neranag..Huh, hampa plak. Then husband kata kami ke Alor Setar plak g kedai yg famous kat sana. So patah balik, ke Iman Char Kue Teow, jalan nak ke Shahab Perdana.. Ramai giler org. nasi ayam and roti arabdia sedap. kami tunggu  sejam dah alang2 sbb dia kata bahan2 CKT tak siap lagi. Isy, mula2 takut x sempat je sbb flight balik kol 9.10 malam ..mujur sempat..ok la CKT dia cumanya kami expect akan makan CKT yang moist, basah2 dgn telur tuh. tapi yg ni lebih dry, so tak kick la..tapi sedap jugakla kalo nak banding CKP lain..so setakat ni pakcik yang jual CKT kat Changloon tuh yang paling best aku makan seumur hidup aku..

lepas makan, kami terus ke airport. kol 10.30 mlm baru smpai LCCT sbb trafik kat udara so plane kene pusing2 kat IPoh dulu. smpai sana, abang farid amik, bawak balik PD semula. before that, masa nak amik luggage, ada 1 bagpack takde, bag tuh ada kerepek2 je tapi sbb bag notebook an barubeli kat pdg besar, syg jugak. so aku buat report kat 'lost n found'..

25/11/12 : bertolak balik ke kuantan..smpai dlm kol 3 ptg. kol 6 ptg, agent delivery air asia dtg, hntar bagpack kami yg tak jumpa mlm smlm tuh..bagus service dia, x psl2 kene hntar beg tu saje ke kuantan

aku memang suka sgt dapat bawak anak2 naik kapal terbang. seronok sgt diorg. diorg happy, makabah lagi happy kan..btw, gambar2 tak sempat nak upload. nanti la pas marking aku buh

now, aku kene pulun marking MUET plak, tuh la dah poya2 4 hari..kene la catch up kan..but I am realy really happy this 2 weeks. next year nak cuti2 kat mane plak ye??

23rd consecutively

23rd Sept 2012- my last day in UNITEN (on paper) in which the new journey begins
23rd Oct 2012 - I am moving (furnitures) to Kuantan
23rd Nov 2012 - I am going to bring my family and my hubby for a trip to Keda. back to UUM after 10 years, actually 11 years after my graduation..yeah..tak sedar diri tuh, time tuh la kene marking MUET writing..huhuhu..lantak la yg penting aku dapat g jalan..

Alangkah...

Alangkah bagusnya kalau aku sambung blaja few years ago..
Alangkah bagusnya kalau aku register blaja lebih awal...
Alangkah bagusnya kalau abah masih ada di saat ni..I am sure he would be very proud with what I am engage in now..
Alangkah, alangkah..kalau, kalau , kalau..sesungguhnya ianya membuka pintu untuk hati kita tidak bersyukur dan menyesal atas suratan takdir..Ingat tuh Umi!!

The journey begins....

I am gonna miss my office, which is so comfortable and big (10x15 feet) in which can occupy all my stuffs including books and toto..hehehe..I feel quite difficult to adapt to the environment of Muadzam about 2 years ago. later, I guess I am gonna miss all the stuffs that make my life easier here ; easy to park your car anywhere, no 'queue'  anywhere, fresh air, no traffic at all, shopping in 15 minutes, the fresh meat market etc..Muadzam, I will return in 3 years time..InsyaAllah

These are the details of the flight tickets that I bought for our family vacation. I bought them 44 days before the boarding day. Coincidently, the date that I chose for the vacation is the same date that abah passed away..14th June 2012.. Sometimes I blamed myself, how it could be possibly happen on the same exact day and date??
