overwhelmed

saya adalah agak sedikit overwhelmed setelah mempresent reserach yg saya plan nk buat di depan kelas forschung praktikum.

i can see tht my sv kinda like d idea. tetapi, cadangan yg be;iau buat adalah sedikit overwhelming gittew.

1. baca buku grundlegendetexte zur transkulturelle komunikation (ye...buku ini dlm bhs German u ols!tp, sy dah book kt library cos ada org pinjam)
2. cari perbezaan antara cultural identity and nationalisme and list down d indikators ---- ini yg membuatkan sy agak kerisauan u ols!

i give myself 1 month to try n find the answers. so far, managed to google some excerpts in books. im trying to access online journal yg ukm subscribe but terlupa plak caranye?? how ek?? ada sesape bleh beri tunjuk ajar dak?

so i guess, i shall put morley down for a bit and concentrate in finding some answers.

walaupun begitu, sv saya memotivasikan sy dgn bkata i know it wont be easy, but its a challenge for you to find some answers. bila mak dah faham konsep, harap2, pjalanan akan lebih lancar.

neway, i'm glad that he kinda like my proposal cos nk gak citer ada sorang student ni dtg kelas dgn tiada preparation. bila ditanye ttg cadangan research, dia kt nk cipta satu model komunikasi that lists down some kind of competency (forgive me cos she was speaking in deutsch). pastu, tu je. tu je yg dia ckp. sv sy tanya, apa sebenarbenarnye yg awak nk buat ni...she ulang blk...hinggakan sv sy agak fedap (can see his muka).

p/s: ada student msia baru di vienna. walupon bukan dr uni yg sama, i'm so happy cos i hv a new fren.
p.p/s: x phm dgn embasi kt sini. bg information yg salah about me to this student!! geram okei.

Mari mem-Puree : The Green Suprise

usually, i will make the normal chicken or prawn porridge for Andi and throw in some carrots. tapi hari ni, i decided to be a lil bit adventurous.

I got a recipe for broccoli, carots and cheese mashed potatoes from Anne. i bought the broccoli, dan carots yg kaler yellow tu cos i think it tastes sweeter (cos I remember Dani absolutely loved em) and potatoes. tapi bila nak masak tu, i decided to just buat my own recipe...hihi...DIY gittew.

So ini resipi saya yang dipanggil the Green Suprise.

1 medium sized potatoes - cut into small cubes
1 carot kuning - cut into small pieces
sedikit brocolli..aprox 3 gugus kecik (aiyoo...its like 3 bunches of those florets)- chopped
sediikit bawang besar - chopped

dump everything dalam pot...add water
boil till everything masak. i boiled for a few hours to make sure it was really lembik.
once i saw the air mcm tinggal sikit, i switched off the api.
n blend...and wallaaaa...the green suprise

FYI, Andi loved it and siap tambah masa makan tadi. :)

oh...i managed to get 5 servings. so i froze 4 and suap-ed 1 to Andi.

Esok nak try buat pear chicken plak...nantikan yer resepi nyer (kalau jadila).

dah book

i have bought the tickets and booked the hotels!! i am so excited...will be spending one night in zurich, so that senang nak catch the train.

will be staying at budget hotels but these hotels have gotten good reviews. i hope oklaa because if it was just me, takpe..ni im bringing my auntie and uncle.

overall, i have spend:

tiket to interlaken: 59.90euro
tiket balik wien from zurich: 49.90euro
hotel in interlaken 5d/4n: 240chf
hotel in zurich 1nite: 100chf

so tiket + hotel in euros = 334.80euros.

transport plak : 260chf (4day pass in Switzerland) + 96.90chf (nak naik jungfraujoch) = 236 euros

Jadi kosnyer adalah 570.80 euros. Phew...berpeluh baca ongkos..tapi bila pikir balik, its for 6days 5 nights. and zurich is a pretty expensive city.

pastu, nak shopping hanyalah nak beli chocolates untuk family in Key Ell and nak beli fridge magnets and maybe baju untuk anankandas. tu je la kot...

there goes my bajet nak beli handbag...

kecil kah?

Andi had his pead appointment today. So, he had the routine timabng2, ukur lilit kepala etc. masa time ukur lilit kepala, the nurse yg ukur tu, ukur 3 kali...i thought that it was pelik but then tak pikir sangat cos Andi was very active and tak nak duduk diam.

anyhoo, we were then called into the doctor's office. doktor kata he's not growing well. sigh. he's 7.16kg at 7 months.last time he was weighed in july, he was 6.8.so docs agak risau cos he only gained about 300grams.

neways, doktor kata maybe should start him on formula. but i said, he doesnt want bottles..so cemano? so doktor kata, bg dia makan. n she drew up an eating plan.

8am: brei (thats like nestum tu laaaa, yg dalam kotak kita mix dgn air jer)100g
1030: fruits 100g
12.30: vege (and every 2nd day, must give meat)120g
3.30:fruits 100g
5.30: brei
8.30pm: brei

so, hari ni, i gave him his fruit at 10.30. tapi 3.30 x bg cos dia kat daycare. n balik, lepas dia bangun i gave him brei lagi. tapi dia kan, tak makan la cukup2 100g tu. cemano ek?

risau plak ni if dia tak grow properly. but my mom said he's still within the tahap weight yg ok for a 7month old.

have to get him used to eating banyak kali. pastu, doc pricked him to tgk kandungan iron dalam darah. apparently ok tp a bit on the low side so he was given iron drops and vit d drops. hmmm

when i droppped him at the daycare, trus pegi shopping barang2 makanan andi ok. i bought dinkel (dono what its called in BI...wheat kot) cos doc suh campur 3 sudu kecik dengan fuits to be given petang2. bubur, doc suh letak sket vege oil to help serap vitamins.

i hope he'll be okei. i mean, i see him so active. tapi tu la....nampak macam tembam jer tapi ghupanye tak la berat sangat.

risau.

busy

dalam sibuk2 nak start membaca, sempat laaa nak mengeplan trip ke switzerland. how??

my aunt n uncle are coming next week. n we are planning to go to schweiz the week after cos my aunt, she really really wants to go.

so, skarang, i tgh sibuk membuat research yg sepatutnyer...phew..penat ok. so this is my plan..will go from 26th till 30th.

25/10: naik night train to zurich and take the connecting train to interlaken
26/10: sampai interlaken about 10-ish. leave bags at hotel and walk around city. pastu check in. rehat2. n jalan lagiikkk...
27/10: explore grindwald and maybe go to bern
28/10: jungfraujoch
29/10:zurich
30/10:balikkk (tapi sempat lagi ronda2 interlaken japs)

total cost: 500 euros...blom masuk makan2 and shopping. berbaloi ke tak agaknye? tp bila pikir, when else will i be going kaann??? *matila nk justify.

pastu...nak cerita pasal pengalaman di library. i went to the main library yesterday dgn niat nak comb through the shelves to cari buku2 tp niatku terbantut. ini kerna. bila masuk..memula terpegun cps tengok library memang macam old skool. siap ada creaky steps and floor boards. sekaliiii....pusing2...tgh apesal semua macam kamus and buku2 rujukan sajor? where are the rest of the books. ghupanye, konsep dia, cari online, reserve dah ambik di counter. ai tak biasa ok. slalu pi library dgn niat nk pinjam buku X, kluar library, dgn buku X, serta Y, Z, K, J. ha...sebab browse punye browse jumpa byk buku,,,kan?? tapi ni tak bleh! *frust*


so, balik lah saya dengan hati yg hampa...dalam melayan kehampaa-an, sempat la stop by h&m and zara beli stock baju winter for anakanda. dah cukup la kot kan baju winter dia. oh.,..need to buy snowsuit plak. hmmm...

ohh...i did all this while andi was in the daycare.

neway, my fren told me that every third tuesdays at votivkino ada mum n baby cinema. cannot wait to try it out next month!!

kelas...

i got lost while looking for my school. you see, the various schools are located around the city and bukan mcm uni kita kat mesia ittew where the uni is located on one biiiigggggg space and houses almost all the schools and faculties.

so, i walked for about 1 hour plus cari skool ok. yg buat susah sebab its not a building on its own...its like part of the building tu jer skool saya punye. and jalan tu belit2 (from the map i copied on google). 1 jam lebih ok?? thats almost 5km of walking. sighhh...

pastu, semalam kan ada kelas. i dropped andi and rushed for my class yg kengkononnya bermula at 1.30. sampai at 1.40 mcm tu, dok cari plak..mana seminar room 2 ni? i turun naik tangga i rasa almost 7 times ok (banggunan 3 tingkat)...org kesejukkan, mak berpeluh2 ...tsk. tak jugak jumpa. tanya orang, orang directkan saya ke bilik yg salah. skali, ternampak satu room ni banyak orang yg dah agak matured..n when i asked, rupanya betul bilik ittew. n...kelas start at 2.

the prof (which is my sv) plak apparently suka dtg kelas lmbt!! n he was about 20 minutes late.

for the first class, he asked us to talk abt our plans....nk buat apa, theory apa nk guna. so, saya adalah agak cuak sebab 'pandai' sgt tak baca blk my proposal. seb baik byk yg ckp pjg lebar so x sempat sampai my turn, i had to blk. u see, kelas patut hbs at 3.30, tp prof tu pot pet2 lg....i kena ambik andi by 4pm. so, dgn macho, i stood up n requested to leave..kenapa dia tanye, sbb nk kena amik anak. i didnt think it was my fault. he was d one yg start l,bt tol tak?

neway, i like him. he's nice...sgt terrer bab bab teori...(reminds me of prof sam). i guess bila dh prof mcm dia surela teori2 ni mcm kacang je kot.

n, i find myself understamding what he said (well at least abt 70%) walopon dia ckp deutsch. i'm lucky cos there were 2 students from eithopia...so dia ada campur2 ckp english jugek!

anyhoo, i realise tht i must catch up on my readings (been a year x bc buku2 yg sepatutnya) so will be going to the library today to borrow some books. lgpon needs to b prepared for my 1st meeting. cuak ok...cos he's really smart n throws questions at you.

wish me luck!

p/s:andi, Alhamdullillah, was very good.

marilah mari

i finally registered last thursday!! sigh..kat sini, the system is a bit different. i couldnt use my financial afidavit yg KPT bagi tu...dorang tak pandang pon ok. so, for the past year, i have been paying my fees and claim duit ittew dari KPT (speaking of which, claim fees sem lepas tak dapat lagik!).

anyhoo, lepas dah habis register, baru boleh register for classes pulak. i have been emailing a few people asking about classes which i am supposed to take. sebab apa? sebab beginning this year, my uni introduced konsep baru untuk program doktoratnyer. oleh ittew, they increased the number of credits one have to take. however, they dont have a structure of what one is supposed to take and etc, boley? so, it is sooooooo confusing for me, and it is especially so because everything is in German!! pening paler ok.

my emails were not answered. wanted to go to my skool but they are only opened to enquiries at certain times. kebetulan, i finished registration on thursday petang. friday idak la plak bukak skool saya punyer info centre. tskk...

oleh ittew, i tried my best to decipher what subjects i needed to take. i decided that i shall take Forschungpraktikum and Privatisimus. so, konon nak register la kan.

registration for classes is fully online. and, to tell you the truth, i find the konsep nak register tu a bit pelik. i have never come across this kinda system before. i mean, nak guna online registration, ok..tu tak pelik. yg pelik, for every subject that u wanna take, u are supposed to give weightage to it, depending on how bad u wanna attend the class.

you see, at the begining of every semester, a student is given 1000 points. and those are the points she or he has to use untuk weightage ittew. so katakan i really wanna course A, i should give 300 ke 400 points. macam bidding plak ok nak masuk course!! and no....it is not based on first come first served. sigh....

anyway, sadly, the online registration for classes sudah ditutup and i tak sempat register for anything. how? sangat tak logik ok if im not allowed to attend classes!!

so, i emailed the professor (which happens to be my SV) and he said tu go to the office and see schmidt and do a nachmeldung. so, i shall try and do it this monday.

if saya berjaya, my class starts on tuesday people!! hiyaahhh..nervous plak cos SV saya tu, bola baca paper dia mmg la nampak English power..tapi bila communicate via email, lain plak ceritanya. so, must make sure i have charged my mp3 player to record it. and one more thing, must discuss with him what other classes i should take and also our time nak dating!

nervous plak.

seb baik kelas hanye 1.5hours u ols...n dekat dgn day care. :)

am so excited!!
