am rm10k richer!

fuh, i wish! actually that money is not for me to spend leisurely. this morning, i checked the pigeon hole, and there it was. a letter from the uni RMC, informing that my application for short grant has been approved. Yeay!! I submitted the application April last year (2010), but due to some financial restriction, it was brought forward to this year. Alhamdulillah.... what else could i say. the research is funded for a year, 15 March 2011 - 14 March 2012.

now i need to fill in some forms and submit them to the Dean.

till then...

the other side of me

my mom is a fulltime housewife, and i admire her (of course, everyone should theirs, rite?). dulu masa kecik2, mak selalu bawak pegi masuk kelas mengait, sulam2an, masak2, mengaji, marhaban, dan macam2 lagi. baju kami adik beradik, memang lah tak pernah orang lain yang jahit kecuali mak yang jahit. even gunting rambut pun, mak yang buat. apatah lagi hal masak memasak ni, rasanya tak pernah makan kat luar. I know McD for the first time, masa matriks di shah alam, itupun roommate yg memang orang KL yang bawa masuk. other than that, my first lesson of muqaddam is also from my mom, and khatam al-quran also from her.

kan best kalau semua skills yang mak ada tu turun kat aku... tapi aku yakin memang ada, cuma tidak dicungkil saje bakatnya... what i know is, sometimes keinginan utk (for e.g.) menjahit tu ada, tapi tak tau nak start macamana, nak masak yang best2 tu ada, tp mcm tak confident, nak gunting rambut anak sendiri tp takut tak cantik lah pulak...

but, one thing for sure, i like doing cross stitch. memanglah benda ni dah sangat lama, i mean, teknologi lama. dulu2 mak memang encourage buat benda ni. the problem is me. susah sungguh nak siapkan satu2 benda. mak always said, 'bila dah mulakan satu pekerjaan, kena habiskan, jangan tinggal separuh jalan'. tu lah...

so di sini i try (word 'try' sbb tak tau lagi cara nak letak pic) letak some of the cross stitch yg selamat disiapkan...

MC

Wah, sungguh lama tak menulis blog. Thats ok. Banyak keje, kan. With classes & materials to proofread, memanglah tak sempat utk leisure writing. Tapi hari ni, sempat pulak, kan. Hari ni, doktor bagi MC. actually sejak semalam lagi dah dapat MC. sebabnya, demam + batuk + selsema + sore throat + terus tak keluar suara. Dah keje guna suara, so bila suara takde, dapatlah cuti rehat. alhamdulillah, Allah masih bagi kekuatan utk jari2 ni menaip. so, eventhough MC, still datang juga ke ofis, tapi tak masuk ke kelas, hanya check email kot2 ada ape2 yg penting, and skim & scan assignments yg students baru submit tadi.

pagi tadi check email, memang ada yg sangat penting. dapat email dari PP utk isi borang2 yg perlu diaju ke KPT. i'm in the process of applying for CB, so banyaklah forms yg perlu diisi & dilengkapkan. Deadline - isnin, 21/3 sebelum 9 pagi. Sempat ke nak isi tu, banyak tu. InsyaAllah... sempat rasanya....

(p/s: betapa kecil ujian demam ini jika dibandingkan dengan ujian gempa dan tsunami... Ya Allah, Ya Rahman Ya Rahim... Engkaulah yang maha pemurah dan penyayang)
