09 May 2018 : Today marks the history of Malaysia

While lining up, whatapps my beloved ex-coursemates on the ink.  A promising response stated that it would not have negative impact on my wound.   I was indecisive to dip right index finger into the ink because I forgot to bring wiper that the ink might drip on the invaluable voting ballot.   After an- hour queue, I just dipped the left index finger to the small bottle of ink.  

Everyone was so excited.  If I was not in the long queue, I doubted I could finish reading all the messages flooding in my phone.  Many neglected FB  but whatapps about any latest progress, information, ideas, opinions and many others.  Many that not appearing started to show their presence. It was blessed to get in touch with friends / relatives around the globe.  And, we were all in one (sebulat hati).

I am a Malaysian !

07 May 2012 : Convo

Woke up early in the morning &  settled the boys before slotted into the car.  CC ferried PL to the registration before he dropped off the boys since it was only 7am in the morning.  The rain started to pour down at 6.50am that PL was left with an umbrella & her belongings.  Caught hold of a few coursemates that she found out the details of registration and etc.
The ceremony was not as slow as we thought of.  The delay was only slight 5-10 minutes while waiting for Baginda.  Then, everything was like too-too train.  We were out of the hall prior 12 noon.

24 Jul 2011 : Last UHP 6013 Class

We had a good time these 2 days. Lots of food were supplied by coursemates. I brought banana cake on the last day and happily contributed to the pool. To our surprise, someone sponsored CHICKEN CHOPS !!!!
This was a great choice in taking this class as elective subject - Global Issues. The interactive class discussed on poverty, abortion, natural disaster, food crisis, human trafficking and many interesting topics. However, PL could not help on the tears streaming down when the coursemates presented those photos which touched the heart and soul, especially those prematured babies being aborted, famine children,,,,,,,
In this class, PL also bumped into her 4 co-workers who took another course but selected the same subject.

25 Jan 2011 : Class Debate

It was a heated debate on which was more hazardous - nuclear technology or biotechnology ?
Dr Arshad snapped a few photos and posted them onto his site. Could you spot PL ?

The class was getting exicted and interesting. We watched Outbreak during biology hazard class. It was surprised to be awared that this movie could be educative. PL watched it once years back without knowing it in fact has lots of embedded educative information.

27 Nov 2010 : Bon Voyage

Time flied. We just finihed our final exam for MKH1323.
Bahare will be flying back to Iran on the coming Thursday (2 Dec 2010). She enrolled as full time student and completed all subjects in 1.5 year. We seldom met but kept in touch on latest update of the subjects especially if we took the same class.

09 Nov 2010 : MKH 1626

PL's SHE project II presentation was scheduled to be at noon.

Her supervisor sms her at around 10am because she did not appear in the bilik taklimat like others coursemates early in the morning when the first presenter presented. She responded she would arrive at 11am and she was on time.

Yeah ! They all passed with minor correction needed. PL needed to amend the project according to the Uni format and put the statement on how she used mean / average index on certain analysis.

Anyhow, PL still needs to go through another 1-2 semester. She has changed the subject sequence by completing MKH 1626, instead of completing all other subjects. At least, the toughest MKH 1626 was completed.

29 Oct 2010 : Submission

Today, PL was rushing to submit her project. The 3 copies were printed & binded last night. The book shop closed just after she & CY left. Wooosossoshhhh....
But, another hurdle.... The faculty was changed to Faculty of Chemical Engineering, instead of Faculty of Natural Resources & Chemical Engineering.. What !!!??? PL was told when she handed over the copies to the admin.
She rushed back to reprint. Luckily, she reserved some paper that with side ring holes. And, it was done. Well, she then needed to wait till 2.45pm before she could submit her projects due to Friday prayer.
She took the opporunities to submit her 2 individual assignments, as well. She slotted under the door of Dr. Z's office. It was then Dr. Z responded that she recieved the soft copies. *sigh*

05 Apr 2010 : Slipped out

PL informed confinement lady that she went out for a while when little CM was taking his bath.
Submitted the corrected project to faculty office and drove back. Picked up a tiger coin bank for little CY on her way back.

12 Apr 2010 : Corrections

PL was still confused on what the panel requested during the presentation.
With those slight corrections, it was said to be major correction. Meanwhile, a coursemate was supposed to change his topic title. But, she did not hear it was a major correction. Perhaps, she missed out the comments because she only arrived at 11.30am, instead of staying from the beginning of the presentation.
Anyhow, she started to doubt on the local uni quality.

p/s : Just received an email in the afternoon on the details. At least, there was information although it was pretty late.

19 Oct 2009 : Almost 3 weeks

It was great to have more personal time, without 8-to-5 job.

PL was adjusting to make the days more meaningful daily. At first, a table calender and a clock were important to be placed on her home work station. It helped her in arranging her daily schedule. Initial 1 week was kind of messed up due to the change. It was gradually emerging into a constant mode now.

With the MSc first semester going to be ended, she left 1 indivdual assignment, 1 group project and 1 examination. It was great that the dateline was not on the same week.

The scheduled part time lecture for dip students was spred on Wed, Thur & Fri. It allowed the 1st 2 days of the week to focus on preparation and her MSc thingy.

Last Thursday, she received a call regarding the mega project on consultancy. Wished the project would be before February 2009 or after May 2010. If not, some of the schedule would be adjusted.

Besides, she also received a call on a part time tutor for MBA students. Awaiting the letter of appointment to make the next move. Still needed to read the offer details to decide. The course coordinator called up personnally to brief some details and informed her that she was shortlisted. hmmm....... wish she would not disappoint him.

The 2nd part time contract which was supposed of her main interest, was signed. Now, pending the German headquarter response to start the 1st audit. Also, preferred it to be not later than February 2009 to get started. And, the mentor assured her that they do not mind her taking up other part time opportunities. However, any consultancy jobs, the company shall be acknowledged to avoid conflict on audit activities.

Thus, the day could be busy or free, depending on time management.

The best thing in the day was no rushing when dropping little CY off to childcare. This morning, little CY was up earlier. Playing with his trains on track for half an hour before moving his train playground downstairs. And, PL suggested to do morning exercise on the lawn. The morning dew wetted the grass that we finally did it at car pouch which little CY enjoyed so much. :)

In fact, we were lucky that we could make a choice to be away from the hassle of life.

08 Oct 2009 : 4 in a group

11 Aug 2009 : MKH1133

PL was sitting for her 1st test for her MSc program.
It was years that PL never sat for a test or examination. The latest shall be the OHSAS 18001:2007 course.
It was kind of messy for the 1st sheet. And, the condition improved on the 2nd sheet onwards.
Well, it could not be much better since PL indeed did not really study for it. ;p
It was on legal requirement and all the answers were responded via the experience and exposure.
It was an open book test and it actually tested on how good we knew how to use the Act book.
She was aware that she made some mistakes after reviewing the question at home. Well, at least, this could treat as lesson to learn.
