renew resident permit

haih. i tell you. i selalu bermasalah lah bila bab renew residence permit ni. tapi sebenarnya i rasa yang membuat masalh ni ialah the particular office which services my district. sebab apa tau. my other friends yang kena pergi ofc at district lain, ok aje. easy peasy je bila nak renew permit ittew.

terbaru, i kena pergi ke kreditsverschutzband office plak dah!!!! i tak pi lagi, but i guess tujuan ke ofc tu untuk mintak statement yg i tak akan bankrap anytime soon, i guess. haih., perluke? i ni, hutang pon non ado ok. penat tau nak kena ke sana ke mari mengendong anakanda ku.

petang ni, i plan to pergi settlekan everything. then,esok pagi boleh pi submit all the documents ke visa office ittew dan tunggu ajer for them to call me cakap visa siap.

minta-mintalah semuanya dipermudahkan.

needless to say, saya berasa letih and by the time i get homei have no mood to look at my beloved chapter 6. huhu. tapi i really must must must do it lah!

apa yg tinggal utk chapter 6?

-finish up intro

- kemaskan my analysis on rural areas

- discussion

- conclusion.

i think today i kena, by hook or by crook, finish up the analysis on rural area so that esok boleh concentrate on doing the discussion. lepas siap, bolehlah habiskan intro and buat conclusion.

Ya Allah. permudahkanlah urusan ku.

p/s: lepas ni kena start reading the book for my book review pulak. *letih*

when the going gets tough...the tough gets going

hrmm...am still working on my chapter 6. At the same time, I have this book review thingy which I would have to submit. blearghh...

anyway, i was talking to dr sunshine yesterday he told me of his plans for the future.

Lepas dah buat masters, kena posting somewhere outside the Klang Valley and he is actually thinking of applying to somewhere in the Borneo. Lepas two or three years in the borneo, nak apply buat subspecialty pulak. nanti 3rd year of sub, he will have the option to be attached to a hospital abroad for 6 to 9 months. lepas tu, balik semula and hopefully dapatlah kerja somewhere dekat2 rumah.

Ok. the question is. Where do I fit into all this??

Haih. no 1. Mak tak rela dia pergi ke Sabah or Sarawak without me! no way jose dia pergi sorang-sorang ok. *matilah posesive* So, adakah i kena cuti tanpa gaji? Or, is there any way that I can request to be seconded to one of the unis there?

No 2, masa pi overseas tu nanti. How? Ok..tu mungkin I boleh request untuk sabatical kan. So, tak la berapa risau sangat.

hmmm.....honestly, I thought that nanti I dah balik next March (yeszaa...harus visualize ye yang saya akan balik in March), tak de dah la episode duduk berjauhan dari suami dan anak-anak. Apa pon, I can only pray and hope for the best, kan?

Ok..back to my chapter 6.

bab 6

i am going through the malas phase right not and it definitely does not help when i only have till nov 5th to finish my chapter 6. tsk. so last night, kuatkan la juga semangat untuk membuat sesuatu padahal sebab dah out of tv series to watch. I still have a long way to go and I keep on thinking on how to best present my analysis. Inilah penangan phd ek? tengah mandi fikir, tengah masak fikir, before tido fikir. haha...

what else? semalam konsert dani. thank god one of bestfriend's anak goes to the same school. So like last year, they ol took a video of dani. hehe. :) Pastu, nak cerita. Andi also went to the concert. Dr Sunshine tanya Andi: Nanti Andi concert Andi nak nyanyi lagu apa?

Andi: Bila ecok (the Nora Elena theme song yang bila esok tu)

Dr Sunshine: Pastu lagu apa lagi?

Andi: Cing cing (that money money money song tu)

LOL.

Daylight savings has started to I technicallyhad an extra hour to sleep in today. Tapi anakanda I decided that I cant. hmph.

Orait, back to chapter 6. Going to D's house in a while to bake cookies and cuppies. Yumm!!!

janji pada diri sendiri

Today has been a long day.

First up, pasal chapter 5. Mati-mati ai ingat hari ni 25 october, the date i set for my deadline. Maka, semalam, bertungkus lumus cuba jugak habiskan tulis chapter tu. I almost finished, cuma tak sempat nak tulis conclusion. Seperti biasa, i only write my conclusion after i have proofread the stuff I wrote. Maka tadi pergi print dekat uni, dan ke starbucks bersama anakanda untuk sesi menyemak penulisan. The verdict? I have loads to correct and add. Hehe. Tapi tu la tujuan kita proofread, ye tak??

Next, pasal pengurusan phd ni. Well, since theyols baru aje introduce the new phd system kat sini (well, the year i registered lah), banyak benda la nak kena buat. So, today, I submitted my updated agreement and an acknowledgment form. The person cakap, early december baru boleh dapat jawapannya. Hmmm...

Hari ni juga, i fotostat segala mak nenek yang belum difotostat untuk urusan visa. Lecehlah kat sini. Tiap2 tahun nak kena renew. Nak renew tu, siap nak check result exam bagai. Haih...nasib ai pass semua. Alhamdullilah.

Pastu, pergi pula ke klinik paeds. Patutnya boleh call je nak buat appointment but I have somehow misplaced the number. Mujur jugak pergi sebab masa bagitahu yang nak buat appointment untuk check up anakanda, dia kata depa dah full. Sini memang macam tu tau. Bukan depa kisah pon nak terima banyak-banyak patient. In a way its good lah kan, sebab kita tahu bila pi for appointment, tak de la nak tunggu lama sebab depa memilih patient. Anyway, bila orang tu kata dah full, i kata lah, i bukan nak appointment immedietly pon. Dia tetap juga kata full. Then I cakap, dulu anak i pon check up kat sini. Pastu, ni baby baru pon, of course la i bawa ke sini juga. Dia terus tanya nama anak, dan check kat system. Lepas tu, barula dia tanya, mana mutterkindpass (ala-ala buku merah kat mesia, tapi sini kaler kuning). Ai tunjuk la, proof yang masa pregnant, memang i check up kat sini. Barula dia cek kalender doktor, and tup tup, ada satu je lagi slot free jumaat ni. Syukur sangat sangat!!!! Dia kata, memang awak bernasib baik sangat-sangat. Ye, saya syukur sangat. Alhamdullilah. I guess Aaron nanti kena ambik dose for rotavirus kot friday ni. Yang pasti, i nak tahu berat dia berapa.

What else? I plan to do my corrections tonight. If I sempat habis by tomorrow, I nak beli the baking pans petang esok. hih hih.

Am going to Hungary on Wednesday. To a place dekat dgn border je. Pergi ke tempat mandi manda.

Ok...mak nak sambung buat kerja.

p.s: Am so happy to receive an email from sv yang kata thank you very very much. Hehe. kembang kuncup kejap. Well, at least dia tahu la kan yang I can buat kerja. Harap2 dia masukkan la kot nama I dalam research team dia. Hehe. Dan harap-harap dia akan consider pertolongan I ni semasa memberi markah untuk subjek yang i amik dgn dia. hehe.

ter-beli

tadi ai lunchie smunchie dengan D. Ai sebenarnya tak lah menyangka D ni nak berkawan dgn I sebab we ols punye situasi ni like enggang and pipit. So, ai agak segan juga actually bila keluar dengan dia sebab tak pasti dengan protokolnya. Apa pon, i am very thankful dia nak la ajak mak pi coffee and etc.

Anyhoo, lepas lunchie smunchie tu, we ols pergi jenjalan masuk keluar kedai. Lalu. ai dah terbeli (atas influence D, i tell you, I am so gullible!!), satu glass cake stand (yang boleh pusing2 tu,9.90euro) dan juga 6 pieces of ramekins (bolehlah nak buat pie bagai kan9.90euro).

Next dalam target pembelian adalah baking pans jenama kaiser and maybe tempat bawak kek yang ada tutup tu kan. Well, kaiser punye tu, mak tengok, dia baking pan tu, pastu comes with free tempat tutup thingy tu. Well, we shall see lah how.

And then, berjalan-jalan lagi, nampak pulak set sudu garpu WMF for 12 people hanya 99euros. Theres also another set, for 149euros, for 12 people as well, but this one ada serving spoons, ladles and also cake cutter thingy. Should I get it? It is in my things to buy list. Hmmm....

Also, sale kali ni, nak kena dah beli periuk belanga idaman tu uols! Yeszaa...i have to start mengumpul barang2 since tak lama lagi nak balik kan. Christmas nanti, nak lengkapkan set porcelain i. Pastu, should i beli villeroy and boch or not? And theres this Bosch coffee maker, selling for only 49euros now. Should I get it?

And yang penting. Prada dah ada outlet kat Pandorf. woot woot.

mengurus lawatan sv ke mesia

I tell you, ai ni geram la jugak kan dgn seorang bekas pelajar phd sv I, yang juga berasal dari negara tanah tumpah darahku, yang banyak menaburkan janji-janji palsu kepada sv i!

you see, that person came for his sabbatical, here, last year. Masa tu, sv i dok sibuk suruh dia arrange untuk satu meeting dengan uniputramesia. That person tu dari unimelaya. Anyhoo, that person pon cakap ok, i akan arrange dan menaburkan harapan palsu aje untuk sv i!!!! Alih-alih, dah setahun berlalu, lawatan tu pon macam tak jadi aja! So, kata-kata that person ala-ala hot hot chicken sh*t la kan.

So, last Monday, I met my SV to get his signature and also update him a bit on my progress. Belum sempat pon I nak start cerita pasal diri i, dia dah start pot pet pot pet pasal that person yang kononnya nak tolong dia tapi TAK buat apa-apa. Tambahan pula, dia memang frustlah sebab dia akan ke Bangkok in NOv so ingat nak stop over Msia since dah dekat kan. Maka, he asked me if I can help him. And that, I did.

Mak skarang sibuk ok dok berbalas-balas email dengan uni kat sana nak arrange visit ni. Dahla bukan ai punye uni tapi sebab sv punya pasal, i pasrah aje!! I was hoping that sv can visit my uni as well, in which he agreed, but sedihnya, orang uni i pulak tak free. *sigh*

Harap-harap lawatan sv ni fruitful lah ye. Dalam pada masa itu, i try to see the silver lining. Dan dalam kes ini, I think, the silver lining is, SV tahu I seorang yang boleh diharap untuk membuat kerja. kan? kan? hehe..nak jugak sedapkan hati.

Oklah. itu saja luahan perasaan.

Satgi mak nak pi lunch. Aiyo..matila lunchie smunchie dengan orang berpangkat uols. Harap-harap mak tak terkelu lidah or something.

kawan baru?

uols, tadi mak dapat fon call ajak mak pi lunch this thursday. mungkinkah this a start to a new friendship? Orang ni la yang banyak bagi baju2 kat anak mak, uols. Mak terima aje sebab baju2 tu cantik2 lagi dan amat jarang dipakai oleh anak dia.

honestly, i look forward to making more friends. just now, in the tram, i bumped into benoit's mom.Benoit was in nursery with Andi dulu. She invited me to her house. :)

Anyway, maybe I should ajak her for coffee one of these days.
