My first and 2nd pregnancy: The Difference.
Chak!:)
My pregnancy has come to the 11th weeks. But my belly still look flat. Macam tiada apa2 dalam perut. Poor baby, its maybe because this time i don't really have good appetite. So, lambat baby membesar. I guess la.
If compared to my first pregnancy i noticed certain things that i didn't experience. Just would like to share on what have been going since 2 months ago:
1. I easily get mad at things that i don't use to. Especially when students do not understand what i teach them, even after i repeat for two or three times and by the fourth times, na kena marah la tu budak2 tu..bukan apa, from what i observed they don't have initiative to read notes and find the meaning in the dictionary. Mau juga saya suap satu2 maksud tu perkataan..ni lain cerita pula pasal saya cepat marah ni..i remember last week i scolded my neighbour who lives at 2nd floor. Siapa suruh dia menyapu and then terus buang di bawah, koridor kami yang baru saya sapu kotor balik. Nasib Yong2 nda kena oleh tu sampah and habuk2 yang dibuang tu.
2. Become very lazy to prepare meal..especially when dealing with chicken and fish..i can't stand the smell. I don't eat them too. Except for Kentucky Fried Chicken and the steam fish at a restaurant located at 1st floor Centre Point Shopping Complex.
3. Don't like it when my son minta manja2. Kesian si Yong2. Is it a sign that this time i am expecting a baby girl? Really hope so. But if baby boy again, i don't mind also. Ada juga kawan si Yong2 bergusti....errmm..Another one thing, i also don't like when hubby sleep too close to me. That's why our queen bed size now is added with a single bed. Terus jadi Extra King Size..wuahaha! I like. Besar space saya mau tidur. Ngenge!
4. Become very lazy to do housechores especially doing laundry, sweeping and folding clothes. I just don't know why. Hope my baby will not be a lazy person la kan..dulu pantang nampak benda2 dalam rumah tidak tersusun, mesti mula mengemas dan siap naik kerusi lagi lap-lap cermin.
Setakat ni, itulah major differences yang saya dapat kenal pasti berbanding first pregnancy dulu..and have to admit it that this time i am not as excited as the first one...just don't have idea why.....:(

Yong2 at Taska Day 2
Di rumah, masa saya kasi mandi dan kasi pakai dia baju untuk ke taska, merengek-rengek sudah dia.
'mama, jangan la pigi ofis. Yong2 tak nak pigi tempat teacher'..dia cakap. Cikgu2 di taska dibahasakan sebagai 'teacher'.
Dari rumah sampai la di kereta, dia ulang ayat yang sama. Tapi lepas tu, bila sampai depan taska lain lagi dia cakap :
'mama, hantar Yong2 tempat teacher'.
haha..mungkin sebab banyak sudah budak2 lain yang dia nampak di taska.

No Title
An officemate who was packing her things suddenly found a long forgotten picture. A picture of her and her fellows when he just joined Polytechnic Johor Bahru aka PJB about 10-11 years ago! In that picture she was 'S' size but now has become 'L'..Everyone starting to comparing their sizes based on the picture, begin to tease each other, made the very warm afternoon in office full with laughter.
..you were so cute in this picture',you looked chubbier', 'oh no la, its my tudung made me look chubby', eh, why you look nerdy here?', 'macam lidi o kau dulu2'
..hahhaa..some comments to each others. Belum lagi diorang nampak gambar saya time form 5 dulu..macam ada katak gemuk ja di pipi kiri kanan. gemukss betul.
for 2-3 minutes the forgotten picture made my office alive. haha here and there.
I guess its a good therapy before we start busy weeks ahead. Yes. busy weeks. Old students are coming back to continue their study tomorrow. The December Session is starting this week.
Personally:
I am ready to face my new students. I am ready to learn more. I am ready to give more. I am ready for whatever the result of transfer will be..which is promised next week. Earlier promised is actually on 1st December, result will be out..huh, tidak apa la.
Maybe God wants to torture me more with this temporary separation with my loved ones. Thanks God. For whatever reason YOU doing this to me. I still thank YOU.
Ah, malas la mau ingat pasal perpindahan tu..lebih baik sy ketawa saja dulu..ahahaha!

Stage Fright
The morning slot was a bit interesting. Learn about communicative grammar. Opps, not learn. It is to more recap in exact. I admitted that i'm not good in grammar and still lacking of proper vocabularies to write proper sentences. The slot was intended to freshen the participant's memories in using proper grammar in teaching..the part that i am weak..:( Still practicing though..huhu
While in the afternoon it was the public speaking slot. Yes, public speaking! Not many seems to like it. me neither. Haha..
anyone feel like doing this?With the topic of 'self introduction', participants were given 3 minutes talk of the very easy topic given. Guided some more with points prepared by the speaker.
i tell you is not as easy as writing the draft of your speech when come to the presentation before other fellows. Cikgu pun pandai nervous ni kalau kena suruh bercakap di depan orang yang bukan students..haha..ironi kan. Padahal, setiap hari buat public speaking depan kelas.
Most participants did well in term of self-confidence but grammatically, not all did well including me..hehe. But like the speakers concluded after the slot, the first aim of the activity is to gain self confidence. Grammar, tidak apa..so i guess all did well la sebab semua dapat cakap di depan..
For me, i did mistake also in the beginning of my speech..i said 'right now i feel stomach in my butterflies'...hahhahaa, that's a sign of truly attacked by stage fright! I supposed to say 'i feel butterflies in my stomach'! hahahahha....100x!
Tommorrow, will be doing micro-teaching fully in English but in a smaller group. Another stage fright coming?..huhu..we will see. ;)
Till then.

EEP
errk..Whats that stand for?
EEP=English Enhancement Program.
A 4 days course for every lecturer in order for us to maximize the use of English in teaching and learning process. I'm in the course, starting today till friday.
Oops, do not get me wrong. Now is our lunch time and will be back to the course at 2.30pm. Its clear that i'm not 'curi-curi' updating my blog during the course. Its not me. Course is course. I focus on it to make sure i gain all the knowledge from the speaker. I know some people like to surfing net, facebooking, listening to music or whatever which is not related to the course, just because they say 'kursus is boring'. It depends on how you set your mind, right?
The first session this morning, not so interesting and not so attractive. The way it carried out was like the learning and teaching process in class. Reading text and understanding the text. A bit boring. Only one slot was considered interesting. But lets see how is the progress, this afternoon.
Meanwhile, this is our picture during a short trip at Tg Balau Beach..Yong2 really had a great time playing sands and not afraid of the waves anymore like his first trip beach last May..Hampir dia nda mau balik oo.
Till then.

Gifts With Lots of Love
Its almost impossible for me to start a word for this entry.
huhuhu..tiba2 macam rasa janggal ni nda tau mau tulis apa..
Feel ashamed for being away so long from my blog actually. Proven enough that i'm not that passionate enough in the blogging world, kan?. My last entry was in October if i'm not mistaken. Lepas tu terus silent saja. Ada juga mau try2 update di office tapi teda privacy, office mate selalu limpas2 di belakang..Kalau di rumah pula, teda peluang mo guna laptop sebab YongYong asyik mau tingu Ultraman seja..pandai switch on dan pasang cd sendiri lg tu.
Well, you may guess, where i have been and what i have been doing. Hate to say that when coming to every end of semester kerja kami ialah teda lain teda bukan menyibukkan diri dengan kerja-kerja penyiapan markah kuiz, ujian dan tugasan pelajar. Malang saya lagi terlibat dengan persediaan soalan-soalan peperiksaan akhir yang kerjanya nda la susah tapi banyak yang remeh - temeh. I admit that working in goverment educational institution sangat la banyak kerja berbanding di kolej swasta dulu. Oppsyy! i'm not complaining, just sharing though. :)
But yeah finally i found my strength to start blogging again.
In fact, there are many stories that i wanted to share since my last post in October..tapi nda jadi2..tersimpan seja. Tapi dalam banyak2 tu, rasanya saya mau share2 yang ini dulu la..cerita tentang hadiah.:)
One great thing being a dedicated educator is when students appreciate what you have done to them. Especially those who are in their final semester..Best ba mengajar semester akhir ni. Diorang suka bagi hadiah sama lecturer yang mengajar diorang.
and lucky me, i was one of them..hehe..
Handed to me on their last day at Politeknik Johor Bahru. Siap peluk2 lagi sambil nangis2..thanking me non-stop for being a great lecturer.
huhu..terharu juga la sia.
Never thought that they would appreciate me that much. And i liked it. Motivate me to be more creative in teaching, to be more patient facing problematic students, and the most important is to be more matured in my career. Every semester is an experience and experiment too.
Thats all for this time.
Till then.

unexpected
i am like..aaa?! trus sebak. gementar. semua ada.
Adakah harapan tinggal harapan? Aduhh..
Peluang untuk berjaya dalam permohonan semakin tipis..
Kenapa la si kawan ni tetiba ja berubah fikiran. Sebab yang dia bagi pun tidak berapa kukuh.. Salah satunya dia dah berkenan dengan orang Sabah. Dia tak bagitau la, tapi ada kawan yang bagitau..huhuuu.

A Drama Scene at a friend's Hari Raya Open House
and....my son did not fail to embarrassed me last night at a friend's house..huhu..
Last night, i went to a friend's Hari Raya open house. As i expected, there were many children there too. But many of them were girls. Some are my colleagues' kids and the rest maybe from the neighborhood.
As usual he did not have any problem befriending them..sekejap saja sudah berlari-lari kejar-kejar dengan tu budak2..so, i let him play round with the kids. but still keeping my eyes over him, takut tiba2 dia buat aksi pula..saya pun dengan senang hati join makan-makan dengan kawan2 lain.
Many of my colleagues were informed earlier that my son is a fanatic fan of the Ultraman series. Not very sure how its all started, suddenly my Yong2 suddenly doing a drama scene in front of all guests in the house..
'hiyyaaaa! Haiyaaa! Fire! Fire! Ultraman Cosmos! Raksaksa!'hiyaa! (with some funny and fierce face expression some more)
Guess what he did? He acted just like the Ultraman Cosmos fighting the dinasour in the Ultraman series!
He made the house filled with laughter for 2-3 minutes, entertained by his drama..oh my..That's really show how friendly my son is..memang nda malu-malu depan orang o!
huhuhuhuuuuuu..how should i suppose to react? Saya rasa saya pun terkejut nda sangka Yong2 tiba-tiba beraksi macam tu. I also joined the rest laughing..Hahahha!
I then, stopped him. Friends keep talking 'wow, no wonder you miss him a lot when he is not with you'. Yepps, that true.
Then, i brought him to the playground located just in front of my friend's house. Just don't want him to create another scene there. Many kids were there too. Met with a mummy of two beautiful daughters who is my friend's sister in law.
She said, 'Anak awak besar dari umur, lancar sudah bercakap walaupun baru dua tahun, tidak takut orang macam sesetengah budak.'..Yepps, again. its a credit to me. Feel so, so and so blessed.
Untill now i still can not forget what my son did last night..

Is this place still safe for us to live in?
My answer is: I am doubt now.
Criminals act are everywhere and is worsening. There is like no more safe place on Earth.
The recent case involving the tragic murder of Datuk Sosilawati and another 4 person, terrifying me.
Not mentioning the baby dumping, accidents( number arising), father kill his son, son kills his father, teenager rapes a granny/father, brother rapes daughter/ sister, suicide, and the list goes on..
Among all reasons why all these happens only this relate very much:
THEY JUST HAVE NO FAITH.
There is no religion that commands its followers to kill. Specifically, to kill human.
I believe in that.
If they have a little light of faith, they will not murder, they will not dump baby, they will not rape their daughter/sister, and they will not do this and that..again the list goes on.
Come on people, lets have little faith, to guide us in life.

My Career Path - Part 2
Baiklah. Bagi kawan2 blogger yang mengikuti blog saya dari awal 'dilahirkan' mesti pernah baca tentang entry bertajuk My Career Path bertarikh November 28, 2008. Saya juga ada memberitahu yang akan ada siri ke-2. Jeng Jeng Jeng! Inilah sambungannya.
Job Number 3: Waitress - Part Timer
Ingat ka dulu, selepas dapat result STPM saya dan kawan saya tu resign notis 24 jam dari tu kedai Lo & Brothers. Selepas tu, saya tidak kerja lagi sehinggalah mendapat panggilan untuk mendaftar masuk ke Universiti Malaysia Sabah sebagai mahasiswi Ijazah Pengurusan Perniagaan mengkhusus dalam Hotel Management bermula dari June 1999-2002.
Di sanalah saya berjumpa dengan Kay Abdullah aka Cath, NancyPeter @ Nc, Sal dan Michelle Tan (yang ada blog). Kami menjadi rakan sekursus selama 3 tahun. Dan amazingly, menjadi rakan serumah pula dua semester kalau tak silap dan pada final year kami di UMS. Banyak betul kenangan manis kami ni tau, termasuklah yang paling diingati bergambar dengan HANDPHONE antik kami di depan Sekolah Perniagaan Ekonomi, UMS.
Photo source: NancyPeter @ Nc. (edited)We were Ex-schoolmates & Ex-housemates.
Can you spot the bloggers? (Sal, Cath, me and Nc?)
Kami jugalah yang bersama-sama menjadi part-timer di Shangri La Resort, Tg Aru. Kerja ni lecturer kami yang tolong cari. First time jadi waitress. Saya tidak berapa suka sebab kena teriak oleh senior, piring yang mo diangkat berat2, itu pintu pigi pantry pun bikin panas juga.
Pengalaman yang tidak dapat saya lupa time serving, saya tidak sengaja tersiku rambut seorang auntie yang disanggul tinggi. Kena jeling saya oo..tapi saya dengan selamba meminta maaf. Mana la tidak tersiku, susunan kerusi untuk meja 10 orang sempit2. Lagi pun first time kan, jadi belum champion menyisip2 bila mau serve makanan. Sorry la auntie, nda sengaja. Hehehe..
Gaji time tu rm2 ka rm2.50 sejam. Bagi saya memang tidak berbaloi. Kerja bukan main penat, gaji seciput ja. Tapi apa yang paling penting ialah pengalaman memandangkan ada kaitan dengan kursus yang kami ambil di UMS.
Seterusnya, tempat yang saya pernah kerja jadi waitress ialah di Nexus Resort Karambunai, tempat saya praktikal dan terus kerja selama setengah tahun ja (jun-dec 2002). Direct kerja selepas tamat ijazah. Tak tahan saya oo, penat betul la kerja di hotel.
Saya jadi slim terus dan dapat gastrik juga. Tapi yang bestnya dan saya sangat suka ialah saya dapat praktis berbahasa Inggeris, tahap keyakinan semakin tinggi dan tidak lagi malu-malu.
Saya enjoy sangat kerja di sana tapi tidak dapat mengatasi penat yang saya rasa. Ini menyebabkan saya berhenti pada hujung tahun tu juga. Abang saya kahwin dan saya tidak dapat cuti. Krismas pun tidak dapat cuti. Jadi yang terbaik ialah RESIGN. Lagipun waktu tu saya teringin sangat berehat selepas tamat 3 tahun di UMS.
Mau tau apa lagi yang paling best saya dapat di sana selama 6 bulan?(malu-malu kucing sudah ni mo bagitau)
Oh ya, ada satu lagi tempat saya kerja jadi waitress. Restoran Cina di jalan Bundusan. Warna hijau dia punya bahagian luar. Beraircond dan exclusive juga la. Selalu ada tourist dari Taiwan yang lunch di situ. Saya selalu kena layan tourist yang tidak pandai BM sebab yang waiter dan waitress lain tidak berani. Restoran tu boleh nampak dari jalan raya. Hishh..lupa betul namanya. Kerja di sana dalam 3 bulan ja. Every month dapat rm750. Byk overtime. Tak penat macam di hotel sebab buka lunch time 11am-2pm dan buka balik 7pm-10pm. Dari situ saya resign sebab dapat kerja lain.
Dan ceritanya akan disambung ke entry yang seterusnya pula.
So, stay tuned ya!
To all friends, relatives, PJB & ACIC students / former students...
I can't wait to go makan-makan at my officemates house and makan2 at office too. Sure plenty of food in our pantry soon! But have to wait for them coming back to work. Most of them taking two weeks leave during this Hari Raya holiday.
Hmm..first day of Hari Raya. The neighborhood is so quite and peaceful. Most neighbours balik kampung since yesterday evening. Me, my sister and Yong2 stay at home.
Just now, a group of children excitedly saying 'assalamualaikum, nak raya!' outside our gate. Hehhe..they came to the wrong house lerr..funny!
I replied 'sorry, kami tak sambut raya'.
The children hurriedly walked away and inside the house i still heard them saying
'ala, engkau ni, malu la. salah rumah la.'
Hahaa..poor them. I have a packet of sampul hari raya given by the cashier at the supermarket yesterday.tapi,tak kan la sia mau bg sampul kosong kan. Tunggu la bila Krismas. Hehehe..
Right away the children went away to another house guess who (what) came next? A pregnant Siamese meow meow came, sitting in front of the door that i let opened. The meow looking at me like asking for something. Kesian..I guess the meow is hungry. So, i tried feeding the meow with crackers.
Ini yang ketiga. Tried give it chipsmore pula. hehe! It loves it too.
Mesti tuan si meow ni balik kampung. Nasib pandai ni meow cari makan di rumah orang.
Lepas habis tu chipsmore baru la si meow nampak macam sudah kenyang. Masuk rumah sekejap, jalan2 di ruang tamu. Lepas tu baru dia keluar dan tidak tau pigi mana.
Agak2 lepas ni siapa dan binatang apa lagi yang mo minta makan a?
hehe..

Do not be a square, Be a circle.
'DO NOT BE A SQUARE.
Kesian ini tembikai square kalau kena tendang kan..sakit perut nanti kalau makan.:)BE A CIRCLE.'
Nah..dia suruh lagi tendang...wE All kNoW, tHeRe aRe Vast MeSSaGes wE CouLD GeT aNd InTERpratE FrOm tHe QuOTE aBoVEd.
BUt, todaY i lOveD to tHink it LikeWise.
IF i wErE given A ChOiCE whICH ShAPe I WouLD Be. NeIthEr OnE.
LOOk;
if i ChOOSe To bE A SqUAre, tHe GooD ThinG IS I Am StAbLe In PoSitION. NO Need To Be ScARed Of FaLLing Or ROllInG FrOm WhEre You Are PlaCed. PeopLe AlsO Not InTerEsteD to KiCk You SinCe aFrAid Of GettING PAin KIckEd Your VerTiCes. YoU SaFe! ..:)
In many people thought, a person choosing square is not good because they say square means you are not open minded, limited to the space where you are, and..bla bla..
How ABout Being a ciRCle? Its not my choice NEitHer. Why? PeOpLE maY EasIly fool YoU ArOunD; EasiLy MocKEd; KiCk YouR AsS.
In many people thought again, a circle means you are very open minded, can go everywhere you want because even wind when blowing will help you to move, without others helped.
Could not agree with me? Don't argue. Nda da maknanya..hehee!
This is a very bold idea, without help from any famous Philosopher , with my empty stomach early morning.
Paling penting..idea ini adalah SAJA-SAJA di buat. Tiada kena mengena dengan yang hidup atau yang nda hidup..hehheeh!.
Don't take it seriously!!
Till then
