berpeluh di musim sejuk??? bukan secara literal, tapi metafora ajer.
Today, I finally finished writing my text for my presentation next week. Alhamdulillah. Esok nak print out and edit. Pastu, nak kena prepare powerpoint plaks. Kalau dulu, mesti buat powerpoint dulu, pastu baru pikirkan text. But now, i do my work the other way round. I find that it works better for me.
After that, I need to siapkan my final assignment (hopefully!) for my phd studies. woot woot!!! tak sabarnya nak submit, actually. Tapi tulis tak habis lagi. hehe.
Lepas tu, haritu ai pergi jumpa the lady yang uruskan pasal phd studies ni, mikusch, just to check on the borang I sent to be approved. Actually, I minta approval supaya paper yang i present last may to be acknoledged dan diberi mata ects. i ingat dapat 3, tapi depa bagi 5!!! Syukur sangat sangat. Ini bermakna, ai dah ada 2 extra credits, dan tak perlulah nak sit for the exam (that I thought i need to sit for this month). Selain itu, I submitted another borand, requesting for my contribution to a book chapter be given ects credits as well. I really hope I will get some, inshaAllah (hoping for 4ects!).
Then, I also met my SV. Ingat nak discuss what I have written so far. But he said he wants to see the completed thesis on the 31st. Maknanya, I dah kena print out, macam nak pi hantar binding already. Just for him to see. Ok boss. So, sementelah nak pi edit my presentation text esok, ingat nak edit my chapter 6 as well. I see that I need to add some more stuff for my chapter 6. So, since Dr Sunshine pon oncall esok, maka I forsee myself spending some time at Stabux with sidekick in tow. :)
I also met one of my friend who has completed her phd just recently!! She told me that she submitted her thesis in June and was called for viva in october. But another friend, yang his visa was about to expire was able to get his viva done before he left. So, I am hoping that luck will be on my side and that I sempat viva before I leave. However, if tak sempat, I akan balik dulu. :( Cuma a bit the hassle lah nak kena apply for viva from Mesia. Oh well, inshaAllah, all will be ok.
All in all, I cannot wait to perabiskan my assignment.
On my trip to paris, I plan to write my acknowledgement page.
Selain itu, other stuff I need to do for my thesis are:
1. resume
2. abstract (english and deutsch!)
3. check references
4. double check spelling
5. formating
6. check table of contents
maybe i can get nana to help me when she is here. hih hih.
Tarikh target submit thesis: 3 Feb 2012.
Doakan ye kawan-kawan.
Lepas tu, bolehlah merdeka kejap sebelum viva. huhu. :)
Oh..kawan ai kata, nanti kita akan dapat kertas yang examiner tulis review. Pastu dalam tu akan ada soalan2. Maka untuk viva, kita prepare untuk jawab soalan ittew and also prepare to explain our work. fuh.
Oh..lagi satu, katanya, convo di sini is in January and October. Maka saya sangat amat berharap akan berkonvo October 2012, inshaAllah.
Ya Allah, permudahkanlah urusan ku. Amin.

belian
- dr Sunshine bought the boy's bed!! its a double decker bed and needless to say, Dani dah chop nak the top bunk. So bawah nanti will be Aaron and Andi.
- My dad's step sis was found dead at her home. She was single and lived alone. She is a very nice lady and will be missed. :( Yang sedih, the police cakap she may have been dead since Friday but since dia tinggal sorang, no one realised. Her neighbour, today,bought her some roti canai but just left the plastic up front. Dah lama tu,dia tengok plastik tak berangkat. She was worried so she told her hubby and her hubby kata, cer pi cek. Dia pon pi la dekat rumah tu and could smell something. So she waited for her son, and son dia masuk inside and found my auntie. :( She fell down and bled kat kepala. I cannot imagine how she must have felt. Was she in pain but tak leh nak capai telefon. Or was she unconsious terus? No one knew. Yang I sedih, my Along said, entah-entah Along pon nanti macam ni. Tsk. I told her, I WILL NEVER let her live alone. If I am not around, I will make sure that Dani will take care of her, inshaAllah. And she said, even mak kata, jangan macam tu. I am sure adik (me) will jaga awak. And when I told this to Dr Sunshine, I am so glad that he told me that Along will obviously live with us, even before I suggested it to him. Syukur to have a husband like you babe!
- I have been the queen of procastination!!! I baru aje nak start buat my assignment and prepare for presentation. tsk!
oklah.
apa pon, if you live alone, please make sure you leave details or phone numbers of your family members dekat tempat yang orang senang nak jumpa.
ok. tu je.

sharing is caring #4
hari ni, i nak meng-sharing is caring-kan benda yang i heard ustaz don talked about on youtube. I really thought long and hard about it, and I find that there are truths in what he said. Apakah??
Well, basically, he was talking about children. Macam mana anak itu terbentuk perangai and sikapnya. He said, ada bapa imam shafie cakap (tak silap i it was imam shafie), masa ditanya, macam mana dia boleh dapat anak yang sangat genius macam imam shafie, dia jawab, it all starts with pemilihan ibunya. So, ibu memang memainkan peranan penting dalam hal ni.
Then, he was also talking about al-imran's wife, masa mengandungkan Maryam. The wife cakap, lahir nanti, dia dah bernazar that the anak akan berbakti kepada Allah kat Baitul Maqdis. And true enough, anak dia berbakti, sehingga melahirkan seorang Nabi.
Pastu, Ustaz Don talked about himself. Dia kata, masa mak dia mengandungkan dia, mak dia cakap dan doa that he will be a fisabillilah. And true enough, dia jadik ustaz.
So, it got me thinking, doa ibu, masa mengandung, unto the anak yang dia kandung, akan effect kandungan dia.
So, my friends yang tengah pregnant tu, rajin-rajin la cakap dengan your baby about what you wish him or her to be. I remember, everytime I mandi, I told my baby that nanti kena mandi 2 kali sehari cos I didnt want them to not like to mandi...hehe...And Alhamdullilah, my boys have no problem nak suruh pergi mandi. Ok, I should have given a better contoh..hahahah..
Apa pon, talk to them. And make lots of doa supaya anak yang kita kandung tu jadi orang yang baik, soleh, mendengar kata, sihat, bijak, pandai. And sometimes, kita kena be aware of what we think of wish for subconsiously as well. Well, if its something good, ok lah. Tapi, kalau tak, tak ke naya.
Macam myself, I think I subconciously wished that my babies would be easy to be taken care of and independent. And, Alhamdullillah, Tuhan bagi I baby yang sedemikian.
So, please don't feel like its weird to talk to your baby dalam perut tu ok. Its never too late to start. :)
p.s: Ustaz Don also said that doa ibu bapa adalah doa yang paling mustajab, inshaAllah.
p.ps: Another thing I like to do is to semayang jemaah with my husband and ajak the boys sama. Now best becos Dani can iqamat. Of course Andi just tonggek kejap pastu sujud but its a start, kan? Ustaz Don kata, as parents, we should do what we want our kids to follow and refrain from doing things we dont want our kids to do.

shopping lagik!
Harini, ai pergi ke factory outlet sebab memang dah pasang niat nak shopping.
Dalam kepala, memang dah decide nak beli apa. Bagus juga bila buat macam tu because then, I only masuk kedai yang memang dah di target. Also, ramai gilaaaaaaaaaaaaa orang okeh. Makanya, tak de la nak bersesak-sesak masuk kedai tanpa arah tuju.
I bought some shirts and t-shirts for my boys, untuk buat stock hari raya. hehe. Nanti masa raya tak yah sibuk2 nak pi shopping bagai. I have been doing it for the past few years. Shop siap-siap for their bajus here. So kat Malaysia, tinggal nak beli baju melayu je. Tu pon memang dah menjadi amalan we ols to buy baju melayu before bulan puasa untuk mengurangkan possibility tu bersesak secara berjemaah dengan orang lain yang tengah buat raya preparation masa bulan posa. :)
Anyway, dalam benda yang ditarget juga adalah Le Creuset's cast iron grill pan. I toldmyself, if it is less than 70euros, I'll get it. And it was, so I got it lah. hehe. And, untuk menunjukkan betapa peghak nyer i dalam membeli le creuset ni, i baru tahu yang they have a lifetime warranty. So, SA tu sibut suruh we ols (I was with a friend) fotokopi or scan resit tu, sebab itu adalah bukti purchase dan nanti boleh digunakan untuk warranty purposes. Bestnya!!! Padanlah ada baca orang siap jadikan cast iron cookware ni harta turun temurun gittew. So, I told Aaron, nanti I will pass it on to him when he is bigger (memandangkan how he LOVEESSSSSSSSSSSs the program Masterchef!)
I am also planning to get the LC caserole pot but tu, I dah plan dengan my friend to rent a car to pi beli. Bendalah tu berat okeh!! Since dah rent kereta, mungkin akan beli two different sizes. *matila, tak sedar diri!!*
Other than that, I also plan to memeriahkan lagi keluarga dapur ai dengan a sautee pan, a stock pot, a milk pan, a wok.
Wok, ingat nak beli kat mesia sajer.
Sautee pan, i dah usha and nak beli in Paris, inshaAllah.
Stock pot and milk pan, sini jer kot.
Saya juga nak collect pisau. I dah decide tak nak beli set-set tu cos i dont need a carving knife, de-boning knive dan sebagainya. So, i nak beli pisau potong ayam, potong daging, potong ikan, potong sayur and potong bawang, potong roti oh..and also steak knife. I plan to buy two each. Tapi ini plan sajer uols!!! Ai plan nak beli pisau segala masa my friend datang...hehe.
ok...tu jer cerita pasal keluarga dapur ai.
Tula u ols. Dah realize nak balik ni, barula ai sibuk nak menambah ahli keluarga. :)

cer tengok betapa concentratenye dia tengok pusingan penyingkiran masterchef malaysia!!
Anyway, selain dari itu, saya juga telah menambah ahli keluarga dapur saya dengan satu stainless steel frying pan wmf, satu tiny tefal frying pan untuk goreng telur, dan satu set kaiser baking tins.
I am also planning to get the LC caserole pot but tu, I dah plan dengan my friend to rent a car to pi beli. Bendalah tu berat okeh!! Since dah rent kereta, mungkin akan beli two different sizes. *matila, tak sedar diri!!*

Pasal politik masa belajar
Hmm...lately, ada keluar berita pasal students buat demonstrasi sebab nak AUKU tu dihapuskan. Jerit-jerit, tak nak dengar cakap polis, blame polis. Bila polis nasihat baik2 and give them 15 minutes to bersurai, tak mo..pastu polis use force, mengamuk dan even cakap "media ambil gambar!", padahal they have been warned!
I tell you, dorang ni sebenarnya tahu ke tak apa yang diperjuangkan?
Tahu ke apa yang termkatub dalam AUKU?
Kenapa nak AUKU dihapuskan?
Apakah kebebasan akademik yang mereka maksudkan??
Honestly, I think they have been approached by some political parties. Sebab, kenapa baran sangat? Whats the reason?
Tapi ini teori konspirasi dari saya. Yang stemmed from what I heard from friends long ago, when i was still in uni.
Masa dulu, saya bertuah, kerana terpilih untuk mengikuti satu lawatan sambil belajar ke luar negara, fully sponsored. About two people from each university were choosen for the trip. They were the creme of the crop (except me, obviously!!). Some of them graduates as pemenang pingat emas canselor (I think 3 of them). Others went on to do their postgrad at ivy league unis, cambridge, oxford and etc. Kebanyakan dorang tu, bukan calang-calang orang (I still wonder why I was chosen..hehe)
Because depa bukan calang2 orang, they have been handpicked by some parties, to bertanding dalam mpp, well this was what I was told la. Dont know if they were making it up untuk sound glamer ke apa kan. But, bukan sorang je yer. I rasa ada dua orang in our group to (from different uni) have met people who are willing to sponsor their campaign untuk pilihanraya uni okeh!! But the students ni, tak minat la pulak. Whatever it is, dari uni lagi, depa dah cuba infiltrate.
So, thats why, i buat teori konspirasi yang all this gung ho thingy nak perjuangkan kebebasan akademik and etc tu, semuanya ada puncanya.
Cuba tanya budak yang kena tangkap tu, what is it in AUKU yang seocifically dia tak suka? Why? How does it affect him? Have he ever thought if that specific akta/rule tak ada, how would it affect him and other students? Apakah yang dimaksudkan dengan kebebasan akademik?
Come on lah. If ini betul suatu perjuangan mahasiswa/i, jangan politicize benda ni. If betul ini akan benefit the mahasiswa, jangan bangkitkan hal-hal politik. Instead, tengok kat the issue in a neutral stand.
Pastukan, korang demo sana sini tu, tak pulak pikirkan keselamatan orang lain. Ada fikir? Ada fikir how it menyusahkan orang dengan create traffic jam bagai? How you make your parents risau?
Please, concentrate on your studies and make your parents proud!

my last four months
my landlord called me just now, and told me that my rent contract is only till March. He wanted to know if I plan to stay longer. I told him that April will be my last month here.
OMG. It finally struck me that I only have four months left. Ya Allah. Sempat ke ni?
Pasal phd thesis, I nak submit early Feb. Then, we shall wait for the review. Harap-harap ia positif.
Pastu, tetiba, ai risau pulak pasal hal-hal nak pack barang ni. oh no!!!! *panik*
Then, pasal nak bersihkan rumah. oh no!!! *panik lagi*
Terus terasa sangat amat overwhelmed.
rasa macam tak percaya dah nak balik. OMG.
Pastu, rasa melankoli. Rasa rindu juga dengan life di sini.
Haih.
Ok, untuk tidak panik, kena buat benda ikut priority, kan?
Now, its to siapkan my assignment and presentation.
Next, tackle the thesis.
Then, PACK!
*hyperventilating*

Apa pon, syukur sangat sangat sangat. Now, to edit, edit dan edit.
Oh, esok, need to start preparing my presentation. hmm....Pastu, dah kena start tulis assignment lagi satu.
Ya Allah, permudahkanlah urusan ku.
