teknik membuat assignment

dear readers, jika anda adalah student seperti saya, boleh tak share dgn saya cara-cara you ols buat assignment?

masa zaman undergrad, teknik membuat assignment adalah main taram ajer...sebab i was never rajin enough to read the articles as suggested by my lecturers.

sekarang, teknik yg saya gunakan adalah, cari artikel/buku/readings yg berkaitan. pastu baca, and type balik what i think would be relevant (together with the nama author, page number, so tht senang nak buat references).

then, after i am done with the books/articles, i would read through what i have typed, and try to compose an essay.

basically thats how i do it. like right now...i am stuck with an assignment, because i have yet to finish reading one article. plus, sgt tak semangat u ols. oh...dah la due on 6th feb!!!! tsk tsk. ok...must do it!!!!

18 minggu 2 hari

Dengan ini, saya dah perut saya ingin mengucapkan "hello world!"

Entry ini ditujukan khas buat fabnana sempena ulang tahunnya hari ini. :)

fakultaet offentliches praesentation.

oh...nerve wrecking sgt presentation ni. this presentation has to be made in front of 6 professors, 1 of which is an external examiner.

the gist of it is, we are supposed to present our proposal, pastu, ada q&a, pastu depa akan suruh kita keluar while they decide if we can proceed or not.

to prepare for the presentation, aside from the text and powerpoint (btw, thanks to link yg anne bagi, i found the best way to prepare for a presentation...tulis text dulu, baru buat ppt...i usually buat ppt dulu, baru text...salah teknik uols!), i also prepares some questions which i think they would ask...ala-ala spot question la kan.

so, for the past week, i have been reading and re-reading the text, trying to hafal, practice presenting with the ppt. then, i siap beli lagi blazer, to make sure i dress smart for the presentation (walau hakikatnya, i couldnt button the blazer cos my tummy was in the way. LOL)

and today was the day i had to present. i arrived at 8.45am, and was scheduled to present at 9am. pastu, siap2 bukak my presentation while waiting for ppl to sampai. haih..byk pulak student phd lain dtg tgk presentation ni uols! but i guess, luck was on my luck because, only 3 professors came!!! *phew*

i gave my presentation...pastu kena soal, pastu keluar. pastu msuk balik, n they gave me some suggestions on how to improve my work, siap tukar2 email lagi dgn 1 of the prof sbb dia ada buat paper ala-ala (but focused on internet). n then, bila dah habis, i just want to confirm again...and tanya, "so i passed?" wkakakaka....and they said...yes...you can go on with your research. :)

Alhamdullillah. Syukur sgt-sgt.

Now, i have to sign the doktoral agreement.

pastu decide on what class to take next sem. am thinking of taking about 4 classes. 2 of which is going to be taught by my sv. :) cannot wait to go to grad centre tomorrow, to find out what must i do next, ie: steps of signing the agreement.

monday, nak dating dgn sv...nak tanya soalan2.

Alhamdulillah. :)

18minggu

wow....cannot believe that i am already in my 18th week!! only 22 more weeks to go. cepatnya rasa!!!

i gained LOTS of weight this time around and i am NOT proud of it. nasib la ni musim winter, bolehlah hide under the winter jacket bagai. tapi, untuk mengelakkan dari badan naik bagai dipump, i have been eating healthily. more salads for me and naik turun tangga, if larat.

morning sickness is still there, tho not as often as it used to be. sakit belakang is becoming bareable. off late, tummy becomes really itchy..prolly because its expanding. and yang paling tak best, semenjak 2 hari ni, i could see jerawat sprouting on my face!! its bloody irritating because if you know me, i hardly ever get any jerawat, EVER. so much so that when i was a teenager and tetiba muka berjeragat lite lite, daddy wanted to bring me to a dermatologist *matila mengada! when i was preggers with dani, i had jerawat as well, but not on my body...it was on my back, and it bothered me so much that i went to see a dermatologist, and religously slather cream apetah yg dermatologist tu bagi. needless to say, it went away after i gave birth..yela..mmg caused by hormones pon kan tapi biasala, drama je lebih. however, i am planning to buy myself a new mousturizer, cos i just swtiched to a new one 2 days back, so that could also be the reason. hrmm....

what else? oh...my feet sembab. perut feels stretchy.

i was rereading what i wrote when i was pregnant with dani and mak ai...manjanya i masa tu!! i guess i had the chance to be kan. masa tu, if cannot sleep at night, could wake hubby up and make him ulit me to sleep. back ache, always someone to rub my back. if b penat sgt, i would just park myself on my parents bed and ask my mom or dad to rub my back. hihihi...manja kan? sigh, now semua pon kena buat sendiri.

i really cannot wait till i am in my 28th week!!! insyaAllah, i would go back around that time. hehhehe..cannot wait. thats only 10 more weeks to go!!

btw, tolong doakan i pass my faculty presentation. need to ace it in order to sign the doctoral thesis agreement.

tengs.

-yg perut tgh rasa terit-

misi hidup sehat

i have been trying to eat more healthily this whole week. Alhamdullillah, it is not as hard as I thought it would be. Kenapa tiba-tiba eat healthily kan? Because uols, my weight increased tremendously!!!! I got a shock when I weighed myself uols. I tell you, memang la tak boleh diet masa pregnant, so i resorted to eat healthily.

Now, I eat lots of vege, mostly salads. A typical meal I would have in a day would be:

breakfast: cereal or if i go out early, i would buy a spinat tasche (thats spinach and cheese pastry..i know i know, ada cheese but my reason is that i need the calcium, kan? hehe...matilaaa alasan)

lunch: vege sandwich (i use vollkorn bread, which is peppered with sunflower seeds) or if makan luar, i like seafood at nord.see.

dinner: salad and bread smothered with cheese spread. kadang-kadang, salad and hard boiled eggs.

sometimes, i have brunch....so thats two full meals je. tapi kdg2, dinner, selepas salad and bread, i drink milk and eat cereal as well. sometimes i treat myself to stabux's skinny chai tea latte and white choc raspberry cheesecake. sometimes i snack on fruits.

i really hope my weight will not increase that drastically......

i need to buy dates and kuaci or kacang to snack on. my friend said that i would be good for baby.

p/s: i odered mensa's fit for mind book online last night. cannot wait for it to arrive. call me silly, but i have always wanted a book like that ever since i was a kid...tapi tak pernah berani nak minta Daddy belikan. so, this time, i bought one for myself (tapi versi adult). apparently, working on puzzles is good for baby as well. :)

tendang-tendang

haluuuu.....

today is the day i am officially sure that what i feel is baby kicking. before this, mcm was was, sama ada baby tgh kick ke, or just gas. hehe. so helooooo baby. now mama can talk to you. err..padahal sebelum ni pon dok slalu cakap kan sbb dok sorang uols..

anyway, esok ada 2 presentation. and the time pulak sort of overlaps. hope i sempat laa nak pergi to the other place!

and yg plg merisaukan adalah my faculty presentation next week. tapi, i am sort of reliefed cos my dear SV is the chair for my session. so i hope he would be supporting me all the way. i really need to go through this.

then, semalam masa last kelas forprak, tetiba diberikan lagi satu assignment! haiyooo...kena buat tief interview pulak dah. dah la assignment in german. matila maakkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its group assignment tho. so, maybe mati lite lite la kot.

okla...hari ni, i need to habiskan baca pasal social interactionism, prepare my text for presentation next week, and the ppt as well. pastu nak kena baca balik text for tomorrow plaks.

oh..i really cannot wait for this sem to be over. walopon keje tak over-over pon, at least, i will be done with presentations and only need concentrate on writing my paper. sesambil tu, ai ada hajat nak pergi somewhere for the weekend. but mana yek? should i go to munich?? apa best kat sana yek? or should i go to venice? i was thinking of going somewhere accessible by train. tgklah cemano. april ingat nak pi tirol and salzburg dan mungkin turkey. hmm..or should i go to turkey in february? *matila plan macam-macam walopon keje berlambak!!

list kerja untuk minggu ini.

1. prepare text and slides for vc presentation.
2. borrow and read books on social interactionism to prepare for meeting with sv on thursday.
3. prepare text and slides for faculty presentation (yikes...debar nyaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!) next week.
4. baca again for the presentation on thursday.

Out of all the above, i am most nervous pasal faculty presentation and seterusnya my vc presentation.

semoga Allah permudahkan urusan saya, insyaAllah.

ok...satu paper accepted for a conference in KL. woot woot. bestnyaaa.....now, nak kena cari sponsor for the conference sebabnya, i am considered as a student from international uni jadi registration fees adalah dalam euro.

anyway, conference is at the end of May, jadinya, mcm cun-cun la in time for masa ai nak balik tu.

secondly, OMG....bulan january adalah bulan yg penuh dgn cabarans dan deadline. tula..masa cuti panjang tak ingat kat kerja kan?? shopping jer manjang.

Ya Allah, please let me pass all my subjects with at least a 2.

mendaftar anak ke sekolah.

Since I had a lot of free time (ok.tu tipu cos asg tak habis pon lagi!), i have been googling about potential schools i am thinking of sending AD for std 1. Apa, you kata terlalu awal untuk berfikir sedemikian? Uols...pendaftaran anak uols ke standard 1, selalu dibuat masa dia 5 years old lagi, in hopes that ada place dekat your chosen school. if not, kenala campak skolah mana-mana uols!

tambahan pulak, sekolah rendah kat kawasan perumahan ai tu, satu tu je. oleh ittew, ai dah pesan siap-siap kat Dr Sunshine untuk membook tempat whenever it is opened for registration (usually in March).

tapi, dalam masa itu, i love the idea of AD being in SRAI. there is one in Bx3 but ada entrance exam. The school is under kelolaan jais and only accepts about 200 students each year. i would really love it if he gets accepted there, insyaAllah. Yang sekolah tu pon,kena ambik borang permohonan to sit for the exam. tapi only when the kid is 6 years old. so kena tunggu next year, i guess.

its so amazing that i can stay up to research on all this things tapi nak buat kerja, satu pon tak jadi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

p/s: hmm..dah besar dah anak bujang ai!

mengaji

yesterday,i found out that my anak bujang pergi kelas mengaji. uh....rasa macam dah besar pulak si AD tu. papa already send you to kelas mengaji.

technically, memang dia baca pon iqra' tu kat GA. but saje je Dr Sunshine send him for mengaji of friday nights, sementara nak tunggu Dr Sunshine yg usually locum on fridays tu kan, bolehla AD spend his time wisely (katanya).

So, its twice a week, but Saturdays tu, he'll only go if papa is working, i guess.

sigh. i cannot believe that my first born dah besar. he is still a baby to me.

tapi kan, tetapla anak bujang no 1 tu ala-ala pemalu. hmm..pergi birthday party pon, if nak main games, nak papa teman. sangat beza dgn AA yang terus akan bermain tanpa mengambil kasih siapa ada. hahah..

tangkapan semasa jualan murah

uols...dengan dukacita dimaklumkan, tangkapan ai tak la sebanyak yang diharapkan! honestly, i expected the clothes to be cheaper namun, mungkin cheap di poket orang lain, tetapi masih lah biasa-biasa aje di poket ai.

walaubagaimanapun, sempat la merembat 3 pasang seluar utk AD and 2 pairs for AA memandangkan sekarang dorang dalam fasa nak pakai seluar jeans berpoket sahaja. got a shirt for AD and a tshirt each for AD and AA. got two sets of perfumes for Dr Sunshine dan juga 3 handbags for me. hehe.

am thinking of going to the city centre, just to tgk2, manalah tahu, ada lagi baju2 kat mothercare atau primark yg mursmurs tu kan. nantila, bila cuaca mengizinkan dan yang paling penting, bila ai dah habis buat assignment. matilaa..dah nak balik pon tak sedar diri assignment belum siap. tsktsk tsk.

ok...sekian laporan tanpa gambar ini. :)

car seat and tali pinggang keledar

do you make your children wear their seat belts in the car? and the little ones, do you make them sit in their car seats? or do you prefer to 'riba' them instead? or maybe, masa pergi kedai dekat, you just let your child sit at the front without his seat belt, sebab dekat je kan?

fact is, it is extremely dangerous to let your kids sit without car seats, and let alone, without seat belts. sangat bahaya uols.

ai terpanggil to write this because i just recieved a bad news from Dr Sunshine. My Uncle lost his 4 year old son in a car accident. Entah macam mana, the car terlanggar tiang tol. My uncle suffered from fractured ribs, his other son who sat behind was unhurt but his 4 year old who sat in front injured his hips and was not able to be revived when brought to the hospital. and, yes, he wasn't wearing his seat belt.

sedih uols bila i dapat berita ni. sedih sangat. i don't even want to imagine how it feels to lose a child. i don't think any parent could.

I also know and realize that ajal and maut sudah ditentukan oleh Allah. But, it doesn't hurt to take some precaution. It made me realize the importance of seat belts and car seats. Alhamdullillah, my boys have been trained since they were babies to sit in their respective car seats. AA, who didn't have the previlege of menaiki kereta when he was a baby (cos we always naik public transportation in wien), only made a fuss masa mula2 diperkenalkan dgn car seat when we were back in Mesia. But now, he is used to it. Alhamdullillah.

Aside from that, I remember cerita yg i pernah dengar. About a father yang bawa anak dia pergi kedai dekat. Anak dia was sitting kat seat belakang. And, masa father dia drive, anak dia berdiri in between the seats. Father drove really slowly. But a car tetiba terlanggar his car. His car only had minor scratches. Memang mcm tak payah nak ketuk balik or anything. Tapi anak dia? Anak dia patah kaki. Imagine, budak kecik patah kaki. Tak ke kesian???

So, I think, as parents, we need to be responsible for their safety. Biarlah anak kita melalak masa kita baru2 nak letak and biasakan dia duduk kat car seat tu. Lama-lama, he or she will get used to it. What is important is their safety.

Takziah to Uncle Mat and family. Al-Fatihah.

anak saya

dani: mama, semalam dani pergi subang parade. papa beli buku matematik untuk dani.

mama: oh..ye. very good dani. bolehlah dani practice matematik untuk sekolah. mama ada beli 2 jeans untuk dani.

dani: yeay!!! dani ada 2 jeans kat rumah mak, 2 kat rumah papa and 2 dengan mama. so dani ada 6 jeans.

(mama rasa amazed anak bujang can count)

mama: wow...pandai dani buat matematik (refering to his ability to add the amount of jeans)

dani: mama...mana dani buat matematik. dani just kira berapa jeans dani ada.

mama: *tepuk dahi*

************

semejak dua menjak ni, anak bujang no 1 dah reti tengok jam. so he is very particular if papa ambik lambat.

dani:papa, hari ni pukul berapa papa habis locum? papa balik pukul 1 boleh tak?

papa: papa habis locum pukul 2. lepas tu, papa ambik ok?

at 2.06

kring kring

papa:hello dani

dani:papa, dah 2.06. papa kata habis kerja pukul 2 nak ambik dani. ni dah pukul berapa dah ni?

papa:errr

**************

papa: andi, andi nak pakai apa hari ni?

andi: jeans. jeans ket (poket)

tahu tak kenapa kena pakai jeans poket? because nak letak kunci. i tell you. both my sons mmg ada fascination dengan kunci and jeans! dani now will only wear jeans or track bottom. he insists on wearing only long pants!! i wish he would wear shorts cos i think boys his age looks cute pakai shorts (especially when i bought him so many!!!). now andi pon dah menurun perangai the abang. but at least he is still ok with shorts, as long as ada pocket. how laa???? papa dah pening tengok anakanda. hehe
