How do you spend your Merdeka holiday? Me ? spend quality time with my loved one lah :)

Today, I would like to dedicated my 24 hours for myself and my hubby..:) oh no! I can't imagine .. I did not update my blog for quite sometime. My last post was back in April 2013.

 

Haiyooo...am I really busy? Yup, I admit that I am sort of workaholic and passionate about my job. I love to spend my time with work! work! work ! what so special about my work? Well, currently I'm attached with Stakeholder Relations unit and education is my core. Our signature program is Program Sentuhan Ilmu PETRONAS or known as PSIP. My stakeholder are student from all levels, primary, secondary and college/university student. I guess this is the most exciting job that I had coz I love teaching and mix around with children and young people. It makes me feel young..young at heart :)

 

Besides giving back to the community, the most exciting part about this job is...this job give you high level of  job satisfaction :) Imagine the feeling when you are surrounded by innocent students with strong will to learn...they really appreciated what you did:)

Oh my! Another quarter has ended. Time waits for no man :P  What have i done? And today is April the 1st. Happy Easter for those who is reading right now:) Yesterday was our Engagement and Team building so called Family Day. It was my first family day with my new SLRO  team and i was assigned to organise this significant event.  Well, i was given 2 weeks time to plan for everything from hotel booking, F & B, activities, entertainment, games and etc. Thank God! I have a reliable and committed working committee. Even though we are only few months or some of them just joined the company.

It was a tiring day but personally, i am quite happy with the smooth implementation. I still remember one day before the event, a short briefing was conducted to our management. Oh god! We were critised from end to end. Well, i was quite sad and worries but we managed to solve all the uncertainty and concerns from the management.  Today, i received a positive compliment from our management.  Well, hard work do pay off! Thank God for all the successful events. From Jan till March, i have organised a couple of events. The Major events were Reputation Management Cafe (RM Cafe), Profiling courses, Media Luncheon and Family Day and more to come..:)

Yup..! Preparation is crucial especially minutes to minutes details. Now, i am worry with my study, i have not prepare anything since last month :(  Well, I am planning to take a break and concentrate on my study. However, our schedule does not allow us to do so..so sad :(  

December

December is my favorite month..because it’s christmas month and my birth month!! Besides, it’s a holiday month..yup!! Worker like me is trying to have some rest and fun ! 

Do you know that we will be celebrating an auspicious day on 12.12.12. I’m sure many couple will tie their knot on this memorable day. It’s similar with last year ..11.11.11 where I celebrated the auspicious day with my colleagues back in PDB. hmmm....i should plan something for this but unfortunately it’s a working day! Nothing much can be done when your schedule is tight! 

Apart from celebration, this month will be a reflection month for all of us. It’s time to measure our performance for this year! Have we achieve our dream? Resolution? Have we learn something, somewhere and somehow? 

Tomorrow will be my 2nd months anniversary with my new company. Well, not really a new company..we are carrying the same brand, under the same umbrella:) Even though, we are sharing the same brand but the environment is totally difference... new set of faces, new set of procedures and new set of friends. I guess i should be greatful for what i have now. God has plan everything for me. Within 1 month, i got a new job offer.  I still can recalled the moment when my ex-boss told me that the region function will be transferred to KL. At first, i can’t accept that the movement will take effect within 3 weeks time. But God is Great! Everything is possible! Guess what, i got a Job offer just RIGHT on time. 

What can i say about my new job is .....high expectation! yupp!! Initially, i was worried whether i can deliver the task given but again Praise the Lord!  i managed to cope and i found out that i started to love my job...:)

Motivational Story for myself! Desperately need this!

Dear all,
My special thanks to Prof Ramayah and Dr Rem Dambul, I have learnt a lot from both of you based on what you have been posted in this academic group. Also, thanks to DSGian for the best wishes.

It is always a miracle when you believe that you can do it. Yes, I submitted my 10 copies for viva within two years. It seems unbelievable especially when I was a part timer in my first 11 months. Within this period, I slept almost 3 hours only per day and woke up at 3am to read articles for almost 3 hours daily. This is the only time that I have to pursue my PhD with the agreement to my family and children that they should be prioritized over my PhD.

However, this is definitely not good for mental health. Therefore, I decided to take non-paid leave to continue my studies. No choice, because I fail to get scholarship from KPM, not even call for interview too. Subsequently, i convert to be a full time student at my 12th months till to date. As such, I told myself that I must success! 2 years is my target. Programming my mind that there is no time to frustrated, cry or demotivated etc even though I encountered it. The only thing that in my mind is look for alternatives in order to solve the problem asap. Setting up the time frame for each stage of research process (proposal defence, data collection, previva, viva etc) and it must be achieved! Even waiting for viva, I still wake up earlier to read articles and write paper. Actually, I did enjoy this kind of life.

No doubt, to produce a sound and justifiable thesis is not an easy task. There are uncountable difficulties and obstacles that have to be overcome throughout the whole research process. Therefore, writing a thesis needs a great deal of knowledge, skill, persistence, time management, commitment, and ingenuity. Really think and behave like a PhD scholar. Moreover, having a committed and knowledgeable supervisor; critical peers who always challenge and question me about the content of the thesis from a variety of aspects; and knowledge networking from the same and different field are always be the advantages.

Completing the PhD thesis serves as a starting point for me to deepen my knowledge in doing research. Hope I can contribute my limited knowledge to this academic group from time to time.

Above is just my personal experience in pursuing the journey. Of course, different people have different way to achieve his or her target. Hopes this is only a personal experience sharing and serve no more than that. Thanks again and all the best! Enjoy your life with PhD studies because it is so precious to us.

The Muddy Journey

I wish upon the star

May my journey as smooth as the moon

The magic spell never came true

My journey filled with Muddy blues

My plead and cry to Mr. Muddy

Muddy oh Muddy

Please go away

Find yourself a new baby

I am too old to be worried

The Muddy path drive me crazy

 Oh God, have mercy on me

Cast away the hardhearted Muddy

God never promised to abandon Muddy

Muddy exist to prove His worthy

His promised to guide thoroughly

Until Muddy turned to rocky!

My humble beginning...weekend affair :)

I have a dream, 

a dream sounds elderly,

a place called HOME SWEET HOME! 

Far away from the city, 

where the birds sing freely, 

where the GREEN grass calling gently!

The Muddy Affair

The joy and passion of the gentle mud , 

dwell deeply into the soul seeker, 

the touch of the watery mud,

ceased the soul of the worry heart!
