Sessi homeschooling

my 3 boys memang tak pergi sekolah sejak pkp dikuatkuasakan since 18 mac...memang sekolah pun tutup kan..so no choice memang kena ajar sendiri  (jadi cikgu)anak2 kat rumah..

zharfan ok lah sbb dh besar, dh boleh berdikari utk uruskan sendiri his online learning via mcm2 platforms with his teachers (sek alamin)..
ariff memang MZ pantau dan tolong kat mana2 diperlukan..every day (weekday) memang dpt mcm2 tugasan dari cikgu2 alhuda

yg paling mencabar ialah nak pastikan razeen bersedia masuk djh 1 tahun dpn...razeen baru jer pandai mengeja..so masih memerlukan latihan membaca (BM) yg sgt byk utk bagi lancar...
MZ ajar jugak baca english dan jawi...ari tu masa wfh full day oklah..now uia admin part dah fully bukak...memang ada hari MZ dtg opis for meeting etc (full day), so tak dpt buat homeschooling :(

Allahumma yassir aamiin

nak tepek videos of my razeen here...for future viewing and memories...all these videos MZ sent kat his teachers as part of online learning/report/assessment

Well done my dear Ahmad Ariff Shah

entry ini adalah utk tatapan my lil Ariff in the future--he's always be my lil sweetheart...dgn harapan moga2 one day he can look back to all the sweet memories of his childhood (moga2 blog ni akan terus wujud virtually for a longggg time....)

semlm, tarikh yg sgt cantik 161116, telah berlangsung Hari Ihtifal ie hari penyampaian hadiah utk pelajar2 yg cemerlang akademik Sek Ren Islam Al Huda

alhamdulillah, Ariff dpt no 1 for his class and also no 1 for all standard 1 students (107 students)...syukur sgt2

Ariff is the only boy in this list (3 classes)...fuhhhh

 ni full result

ni masa tunggu turn utk naik stage/amik hadiah

ariff menerima hadiah dari guru besar- Hjh Surayah...dpt beg sek..books, stationeries, file etc

Ariff jugak dpt hadiah utk highest mark for subjects..BM, BI, Sains dan Amali Teras

Abg & Adik - my zharfan dpt top 20 utk exam ujung thn (zharfan lemah sikit utk few subjects agama, so ranking jd drop), masa exam subject akademik (U.K.), dia dpt no. 6

zharfan adalah team nasyid sek..so me tunggu sampai abis event semlm sbb nak tgk performance zharfan and his team

Alhamdulillah atas segala nikmatNya
moga2 perjalanan hidup anak2 kita semua dipermudahkan, dan dikurniakan kecemerlangan akademik dan akhak...amiin

UPSR dulu vs UPSR sekarang

emmm semlm tak buat entry...sbb tak sempat..byk kelas etc..
anyway semlm adalah hari result UPSR..penuh newsfeed dgn updates UPSR kwn2 FB yg ada anak yg dh amik UPSR..majority dpt straight A's..kebanggaan utk setiap ibu bapa esp parents zmn moden yg mana serba serbinya mencabar and competitive....persaingan yg sgt sengit dlm bidang akademik..those yg tak dpt bersaing memang akan left behind lah...persepsi most people..tak dpt straight A's tu mcm dh gagal gitu...anyway, persepsi masing2 kan...esp di zaman FB ni

I took UPSR tahun 1988..
those days..no stress no pressure..i did not remember doing revision or pulun2 study mcm time study kat uni or study for SPM..
yg pasti...memang happy2 jer time zmn sek rendah..even time sit for UPSR pun...blurry memory...

alhamdulillah...I got 5As--i'm the only one..SKPK..sek kampung kan..
tak denya cikgu2 nak pressure or aim nak berapa org yg dpt straight A's etc
and result slip pun..cikgu yg taip kat atas kertas ie guna mesin taip--dh obselete kot mesin taip yg manual tu nowadays (of course bukan print out guna komputer)...

i masih simpan lagi lg slip result tu..lupa nak snap pic and upload here..kertasnya dh jd warna kekuningan...
and i think thn 1988, tak denya sampai 38k calon yg dpt straight A's seluruh msia..
so memang jauh berbeza zmn 1980s and zmn sekarang (tahun 2015)

my zharfan will sit for UPSR in 2017 (rasanya dh tukar nama pun kan UPSR ni starting next year)..
of course seboleh mungkin nak tgk he got straight A's jugak..my legacy..in fact my siblings' legacy gitu...apa2 pun cuba yg terbaik dan berdoa ke hadratnya

congrats to my BFF ayu rafikah sbb her daughter dpt straight A's..well done!!

gmbr hiasan semata2...dare to dream and strive to catch it!!

have a nice day everyone

Re: Studying abroad

semlm nmpk my FB status of my niece yg tgh study kat Ireland tu...i share her view & feelings of course ;) study local pun ada pros and cons..study overseas pun ada pros and cons..cuma bila kat tmpt org..boleh rasa byk new experience..tu one of the bonus lah..of courselah rasa jeles tgk my niece post mcm2 pic holiday yg dia dh pegi...rasanya sgt byk tempat2 yg dia dh travel..sbb single..senang nak travel..dulu me kat notts dgn family ..travel kena angkut semua heheh ;)

salam hari isnin..
minggu ni me sgt bz dgn keje...

The BEST part of studying abroad

me skodeng FB my niece yg tgh study kat Ireland tu...and now dia tgh holiday--dia pegi Europe tour...so nampaklah all the interesting pics.. ;)

ada pic dia shopping2 --feel shooping obersi memang lain dgn kat msia...

ada pic dia visiting some historical spots...dia siap pegi Madame Tussaud tu..i tak pegi pun masa i was in London sbb tak berapa suka dgn patung2 wax hahaha

tak jumpa plak pic dia main snow (nampak mcm dh ada pic dia main ski kat her instagram)

so me pun mengimbau kenangan me kat Notts Dec 2009-Apr 2011...the part that I miss MOST is the WHITE part a.k.a SNOW ;)

Ada apa dalam Majalah 3 @TV3 esok

pagi2 me tgk buletin pagi sambil bersiap2..then ternampak gazette majalah 3 utk siaran esok (sabtu mlm)

wahhhh..ada psl UIA!!!
pasal kejayaan alumni UIA...mesti tgk ni :) me grad UIA thn 2000, then buat masters kat UIA gak, convo thn 2004 (right after my wedding)--that explains why I buat phd kat UK..sbb both degrees local univ, so 3rd degree kena buat abroad...then now keje pun kat UIA..kira my lifetime career kat UIA Insya Allah

note : uolls grad univ mana? jom share2 sambil kita kenal2 lebih rapat background masing2 ;)

Bulan jatuh ke riba

i memang nak publish my thesis as a book, tapi i tak tau cara (and mcm tak de hope nak publish)...and memang i sgt2 sbb bz dgn kelas, i asyik tangguh2...pernah gak my colleague a.k.a my co-supervisor tlg tanyakan few publishers on my behalf tapi so far semua local publisher tak nak publish my thesis sbb my research tu very limited & specific scope.

one fine day last month, ada one publisher from abroad (based on germany) email me, ckp he's interested to publish it, dia tgk my thesis kat library univ of nottingham Uk (etheses)..kiranya my wish granted Alhamdulillah

now dh final stage...the book will be published soon --under LAP publishing.

this is the cover of my 1st academic book ever...

Alhamdulillah atas segala rahmat dan nikmatNya..

tq uolls sbb sudi singgah dan menjadi part of my perkongsian kegembiraan in my life :)

hasil titik peluh 3 tahun setengah

of course bukan hasil contest,:p  tapi hasil akademik me ni :)

me start my phd on 23rd Sept 2007, and me submit my thesis on 6 December 2010, me attended my viva on 9 march 2011...lama or sekejap?emmm...
lama jugak lah..sbb sempat dpt lil Ariff tu within my phd period :) kiranya ariff dpt nickname baby phd ;)

nilah my phd thesis --Alhamdulillah--dh 100% settled :) dh siap hard cover binding & dh selamat dipos ke UNiv of Nottingham, UK--me convo mid july ni--tp tak mampu nak attend sbb tiket flight time sumer sgt mahal, sorang dlm RM3.8k--tak mampu me sbb kalau me pegi, me nak bwk hubby &kids..so tak delah pic kenanngan convo me kat obersi sob sob :(

ni antara bidang kajian me...

note : phd is just a paper qualification, yg penting, contribution to the society lps dpt phd tu..

6 hari tu lama ke sekejap?

Hari2 terakhir me kat bumi Notts yg indah ini...
hari ni me ada final meeting dgn my supervisor--Prof Torremans yg hensem lg baik hati :) just jumpa utk me say tq & bye2 ajer pun...me beli kad TQ utk prof+ rasanya me bagi choc ajer kot--tak sesuai nak bg bunga ker apa kan sbb prof tu lelaki..

anyway...me lahir kat bumi Msia..so of course me sgt rindukan Msia, nak balik jumpa my mom, my adik-beradik, kwn2..
tp sebenranya...me suka dgn life kat sini..
emm..realitinya, tempat me bukan kat sini..hanya Tuhan bagi nikmat sekejap utk me rasa kehidupan di sini...pengalaman terindah seumur  hidup..

me akan merindui Univ of Nottingham yg sgt cantik landscapenya..daffodils yg menguning time spring..cuaca sejuk nyaman...

moga2 ada peluang utk me dtg lg ke UK in the future..Amiin..

note : sekadar entry luahan hati MZ..

Ada apa dgn VIVA | a lonely journey

when i started my phd (Sept 2007)--selalu dgr quote like phd means 'permanent head damage' LOL
and some says that phd is a lonely journey--to me it's true--lonely in the sense that phd sgt2 berbeza dgn undergraduate study to obtain 1st degree (bachelor) or even masters level pun..after all, my masters degree (2004)  is by way of exam, bukan thesis..

phd bukan perasaan hasad dengki yer :p , phd tu doctorate..

at the end of phd, lps submit thesis (note : for univ of nottingham, the word count is 100k words) lebih kurang 400 pages--my thesis is that thick..yeppp

lps submit thesis, kena attend viva--"viva voce".....bukan VIVA perodua yer.. :p wpun ejaan sama, sebutan berbeza :p and maksud sgt2 berbeza
viva voce ??

Viva Voce Exam

“an oral examination in defence of a thesis”

The phrase ‘viva voce’ literally means ‘with living voice’, or ‘by word of mouth’, and is a particular form of oral examination in which a doctoral level student is required to defend their thesis.

kiranya nilah exam paling besar dlm hidup me, at the age of 34+ ni.. (sebulan seblm mencecah 35) :p

ada apa dgn title Dr tu? emm..kat msia berlambak2 Dr dh pun, esp policy university yg mewajibkan semua lecturer mesti ada phd kan..

anyway,  for me, "with great power, comes great responsibility"

mcm citer spiderman :p
ie bila dh dpt title ni, tanggungjwb terhadap society esp my students, anak didik me..sgtlah besar..amanah..

apa2 pun, me still MZ yg dulu, tak de apa2 yg berubah, cuma tanggungjwb dh semakin besar, and and this moment of time, me sendiri tak pasti, and me tak leh nak ckp sama ada me akan still tegar berblog bila me dh balik msia nanti--i love my blog--that's a fact

and i love uolls --my blog readers and visitors!! thanks uolls :) ni me capture 2020 followers semlm--nice!

pic hiasan, sbb entry psl VIVA kan hehhe--me tak de perodua viva, me pakai proton satria ajer kat Msia, and berazam utk memiliki honda crv one day..Amiin

note : entry ala2 academic ni hehheh uolls tak nak further study ker?

Alhamdulillah - berakhirnya satu perjuangan

syukur ke hadrat Ilahi..:)
tq for frens yg mendoakan :)

cu all kat Msia yer :)
