There's lots of stories about living with / in a neighbourhood. sometimes it's sweet, mushmellow, tenderly pleasant and some other time its bitter, sourgrape, a creepy nightmare. this time, i'm lucky to have a pleasant and kind neighbour.
well, most of the people who work here are from the eastcoast. nak jumpa 'geng mami' amatlah jarang hehe and kalau ada pun, their slang is just isn't what as i tagged on those people back home. yep true slang / dialact plays a very important role. contohnya, when a mami talks, their head will sashay gently (well taklah se-ganas k**i*g) and that sashays does entertain me heh.
anyway back to my jiran.
my jiran in Kelan***esse. hmm, i've heard a couple of thing about Kelan***esse. and most of them are negative. however, 2 of my husband's best friend are Kelan***esse. and he said, Kelan***esse is nice if you could adapt with them well. hmm, one thing for sure, i really need my hubby to translate what they say as i could harly catchup with their slang heh.
and last sunday, i was very much craving for ketam. and i went to the nearest market to fing dissapointment when no crabs were sold. thus, i try my luck asking my jiran if they know any ketam seller nearby. and they suggested a pasar malam by the river. and yep i found 2 pieces big sized ketam. upon returning home, mi jiran saw da ketam (kinda saw her jeling to my ketam bag). then, 15 minutes later, my jiran bagi salam and masuk rumah. she ask what's my favourite dish, ketam cili api or kari ketam. cili api i replied. and belive it or not. she brought along santan. she cooked for me. all i did was cleaning d ketams. and of course sembang2 with her. heh she sometimes has to rephrase as i sometimes couldn't understand her.
then, i packed some for her and she rejected. she even told her children not to accept my ketam hehe
and it made me think how jiran could help ease your life.

i distributed instructional evaluation form to d 'products' justnow. well, da products had spoken hehe (ala2 tribal council - survivor)
some of the comments are:
"the lecture is interesting but she speaks too fast"
"she need to take breath and slow down her speech because she cakap laju sangat"
"e-notes materials are seldomly used"
"lecture notes should be uploaded frequently!"
"we need more exercises. insufficient assignment"
"the varaible methods she uses in her lecture make me understand better this subject"
"everyday is a new input"
"her teaching conveys extra information to us"
"i like how she simplify the curvy information"
well, constructives I shall say. and yep, i'm really looking foward dis e-learning thinggy. we were given space to upload notes but i'm kinda not into it as sometimes d server can be really slow. but, next week i'm gonna use some of my tiny-miny blog-html experience to build a website. thought of havong a channel for forum.
and yes, i really2 need to slow down da speech. hmm .. bukannya apa, sometimes, i felt as if there's lots to convey, within dis short time. tu tak tambah lagi those unefficient timing, when couple of yawning faces occurs.
weh kena pi ceramah kkf. sambung nanti

today is my 2nd anniversary. my nikah day was 17 march 2006 bersamaan 17 safar 1426.
wah, sungguh cepat masa berlalu.......
one thing for sure, i get bored upon marking assignments which didn't embrace originality. well, true. if you were in my phase, after 2 years of extreme marking hehe (macam banyak kan) you tend to have dis 6th sense of recognizing genuine work.
and yep, i find it rather interesting if d assignment is only 1 page of the writer's own work. you can get other's idea, but please assure that you 'digest' d idea first and then spell it out.
well it goes da same d other way round. well, we, new teachers need to somplete certain tasks for authority evaluation. and dis evaluation will at d end of da day determine my job's confirmation. and da due date is within a month from da announcement date. this friday is da due date, and yep, i've done mine. well, i did several internet browsing and digested some of the idea and began typing and finish my assignment. last week. and just now, dis fella came over asking for d softcopy. dis fella is a new teacher as well. gee, i told him dat i will share da internet sites dat i've found but he kept pushing for d document. banyak cantikk.. i did dat sampai muntah heh (dat assignment tak heavy pun but memang sekarang dok fasa muntah2kerap!).
am i being kedekut ilmu? i don't. ask me anything, even d idea of doing dat assignment, i will share. but da software document, malas la pulok. lagipun, bukan ke we loud for no plagiarism to students. uh!

I vomitted twice today.
uh those sardin's smell is still alll over my head. last night, i'm kinda craving for tuna sandwiches. and, i'm running out of tuna mayonese stock. so, i woke up kinda early dis mornin' and make some ayam brand sardine-in-tomato sandwiches.
it was good. dis morning. buttered bread with 2 scoops of sardin. i ate nearly 4 sets. heh.
but as soon as i reached office, with a pile of marking needed to be done, i started to feel some dizziness. uh. then those 'hanyir' smell kinda evaporates in my nose. hakikatnya, there was no sardin or any other fish in my office. and my brain keep rewinding until a peeking point where i grab a plastic bag and uweeeeek. uh. then baru lega.
then, i took a walk, inhale some fresh rainy air. da sardini's smell eventually deflatted away.
went for lunch. and guess what, da smell's return. uh.
HubbyQas called dis morning, BabyQas cried for ummmi last night. uh. huhuhu. i cried upon da news la pulak. anyway, petang nih nak balek kg. jumpa BabyQas.
Thursday, March 13
yep i missed BabyQas a lot. hehe baru 48 jam. semalam ingatkan macho.. but ternangis jugak... mana taknya, masuk je rumah jumpa kasut dia sebelah. sebelah lagi dalam bilik tidor, jalan masuk bilik kedua jumpa kucin butat mainan babyQas. gi dapor jumpa sudip, periuk kat lantai, babyQas main semalam while i mandi. uh. sedih, semua kat rumah tu babyQas. masa solat dah takde si kecik dok intai2 bawah telekong.
BabyQas ikut HubbyQas ke kampung. well, fon kg, she sounds healthy + happy. at least makan mminum dah gerentee sedap opah jaga. ntah boleh tahan ke tak. kalau ikut plan nak letak dia sana sampai morning sickness phase dah settel + samapi taska dah stabil (lately taska

ok, i've been tagged.
5 things i do with internet:-
1. company's portal. well, what else is more priority than da one dat cash in some fulus every month heh. most of d memos and announcement is brosdcasted through dis site. and yep, dis site does get congested and once a while clogged (CikD cukup sika perkataan ni- clogged).
2. it'll be d mail. again, lots of work-related.
3. will be blog. even dis is 3rd ranked, i spent quite an amount of time here. yep, one thing is to do da posting. another thing is to visit those buddies. i've once halted my entry. just do some visiting but, then, kinda wanting to blog again.
4. news portal. since tv news has lost it's 'charm' to d other hottie series. ANTM sure beats buletin utama by 3 times heh.
5. it'll be google. hehe. da path to thousands of solutions.
BabyQas ikut HubbyQas ke kampung. Yep, tonight will be my first night without her. takut pun ada. I've been with her since da day whe was born. kinda reluctant in making dis decision, but when her 'care' is given a thought, i'd prefer opah to look after her rather than some kakak-taska-replacement. another matter is due to my worsen morning sickness. really. semalam, balek awal. focus dah lari. heh
I'm praying da best for everyone.
it's kinda an uncomfortable announcement yesterday. it makes me wanting to go back and proof how worthy someone can be. I told HubbyQas, how serius i'm in doing so. he has his own strategy. well, it does surprise me. and yep it sounds practical. and i'm really hoping dat he could agree and join my plan. hehe because, the only reason why i had dat plan is due to d confidence dat i have upon seeing how he manage his career. wallahu'alam.
Friday, March 7
yep d SKT. sasaran kerja tahunan. well, at last, today i've completed d 2008 skt 1st quater planning. erm, nothing much in d plan, taking consideration of the practicality of each plan la kan. hehe. gee, some academic, research and management tasks to be completed in dis wonderfull blessed 2008 heh, ayat bodek.
Sometimes there is a need to stand out in a crowd. yep, in order to get some recognization. however, in doing so, there are chances where things might get a lil' offensive hehe really offensive.
I'm a lil' annoyed with dis partucilar fella. gee, with dis fella, it's always a competition. and dis is not those who-wins-who-lose kinda things. it's more internal, aura, firasat thinggy heh. haha senang cerita, aku perasan dia dok chelen2. hehe the only potion to yin-yang (stabilized kan la konon) d situation is by just ignore dis fella. but yesterday, i accidently spell out to a friend about dis fella, and guess what, she's feeling da same too.. hehe maka it's true then ! dis fella.. stand out of crown.. chellen2..
Positive side of view, dis fella's triggers d competetive side of me. well, it had been a long time since my competetive era, really it was only in my secondary school. towards d end of my high school, i kinda developed dis motivation - the best competitors is yourself. thus i kinda stop racing, showing off those tiny miny achievements.
I adore those fella who let their work do d talking. well, in my world, let the product, studets do da talking. you're afterall a teacher. the better you could teach, d better teacher you are. it will never ever be a winning situation if on paper it's a 4 page resume but reality, none understand your lecture. a reminder for me as well.
so, am i chellenged with dis fella's 'chelen'? ermm..
yes i do. but, i'll mke my work do da talking! wait and see! heh.
selamat mengundi buddies!

amacam?
ok tak?
respond kat tag-board ok..
my mom is around. and it really2 feels like being at home. feels like penang. mom herself can bring the whole penang to me. heh sounds like miracle kan.
mak arrived last monday. pick her up at the airport. and since dat moment onwards, my kitchen is enlivend. semalam there was bubur durian, da day before there was bihun ayam masak kicap and dis morning, bangun2 je mak dah siap cucr durian. petang nih she's gonna buat sup ayam since babyQas suka banget ayam.
after subuh prayer, there was dis kind of feeling. feeling macam i was in my early 20's. well, i've always been in penang up till my mid 20's. penang is syok. well, hubbyQas said dat i was feeling dat way because i've assimilate with penang since my birth. so true in a way. hehe. whatever reason it is, i'm really bahagia when mak around. hehe.
last monday as mak landed, abah called. da first question was did babyQas recognized her, my mom. well, kids developes. when she was a little baby, she's comfortable with everyone. nak ke semua. but as she turn 9 months, she started to pick up some familiar faces and kinda reluctant to be with those not-so-familiar ones. my mom was one of them. since babyqas meets her like once a months. i'm kinda uneasy with dis. well, it kinda pop in my mind dat dis is due to me living a lil' far from my parents. and babyQas is my mom first cucu. she's da most happiest person upon hearing d pregnancy news, and when babyQas turn her around i'm afraid is she got disturbed by dis.
I consult mak. hehe her first responds was, laa.. dia baby lagi... hehe only me feels inferiority over dis matter. alhamdullilah, i managed to squeeze and spend nearly a month in penang last december. babyQas developed her mak tok database and mak is no longer non-familiar. hehe in da morning, macam tadi she took her kasut and ask mak tok to put them on. nak ikut ummi. nangis.. but as i returned from work, eksyen peluk2 maktok dia. hehe.
morning blues seems to slowly dissolved. hehe at da moment. hope it'll vanished. hehe.
malam ni jangan lupa, where is Sara.
till then, resume later.
