Pasar Ko'diang

Last weekend I went to pasar kodiang(pasar tani actually).

I tried to belnd in(speaking utara & all sorts). My plan backfired as I brought my Youngest daughter. She was practically saying, ' ibu lembu tuh ada darah' 7 things like' ibu jgn pegi dekat ikan tu nanti kaki kotor' there goes my chance to bargain on the price of goods. Abg Am says it's all my fault as I did not regularly bring my children to the market. How am I suppose to know that the are going to behave like'jakun'

So I told them we r going to the market, & we are not buying our 'fishes , chickens & meat from Giant, carrefore or the likes.(anyway non is available in changlun). SO as my daughter says we have to go to "pasar busuk".

Well, KL kids are so spoilt. Anyway, we brought camera to take pictures of the view to pasar kodiang. (I refused to let them snap pictures in the market itself- malu nanti org kata makcik kerek). But we bought 5 life chicks @ RM2/chicks.(due to the insistence of my youngest daughter). Now left 3 chicks as 2 died due to stress!!(my daughter accidentally sat on 1)

Well, I will not go to pasar Kodiang again this weekend, at least the people have time to forget us..ha..ha..ha

Adapting

Hai evry1,

As the title goes, i 'm really adapting to my new life here. But here I have to dress-up for work, meaning I have to put on my make-up, goes evrywhere with my handbag, that is the only way to differentiate us from he students. Gone were the days where we only carry our purse or pouch during lunch or anywhere. i'm lucky that delinn is here so we can do things together like lunch, library or the only best thing around here to shop at Varsity Mall.(mind you, only delinn & I are the only lecturer who frequent the place).I was advised by my 'penyelaras kursus' to began studying ASAP. This really put some pressure on me. That is why, I'm here in the office today even thouh today is a holiday(maal hijrah).

Well got to start finding for the universities now!!! TADA

My new Life

I'm adjusting to my new life. Now I have to read(non novels) everyday. Now I can tell you who is the Quality gurus & all aspects on quality. What the students don't know is that I read on a Just in time basis( read only what you need to teach in next class ).

I just found out that I have to supervise a final semester student on their mini thesis!!! imagine that.( my own proposal pun tak bergerak lagi). I also have to supervise 3 self development group -SDG. It really keeps me busy...he.he.

Nak jumpa delinn pun susah, although we are in the same floor & building.

We went to Taman Rusa with Delinn & my family(details in delinn's blog).

But to top it all out, I bought a new Mac laptop!!!!. I will get the pictures later.

tada for now. Need to repare for next lecture.

The first hurdle

Last Wednesday, I had my first lecture. I was full of apprehension. I put on my "lecturer face" and off I go the my first calss.

41 students registered but 36 turn up. It is quite a disadvantage as my all my classes is in the afternoon from 2.00 -03.30 pm. It is quite a job to keep the children interested.( they will be yawning away.

I do not know if they understand but the give me polite attention.

I was quite cool exteriorly but I was having butterflies in my stomache(afraid that they might ask a question that I can't answer).
Luckily, everything goes well. My class is a mixture of final , 4th and even 1st semester students.

But surprisingly, the pressure was not as bad as I was preparing a meeting with Mam Or Mdm Z. I really quite enjoy teaching. I think I have made the right decision.
The life of a lecturer is not that bad, maybe it is to soon but just wait & see.

News From Sintok

Hai Girls!

Now I am officially a staff of UUM. Unfortunately I still do not have a room as my roommate is on leave and the could not contact her.
Well enough about that. It seems that we do not have anything to do here (for now).
They are just paynig me & Delinn for going up & down the stairs.
Here is totally a different culture. As my big boss says, nobody will ask you to do anything, you have to do erything yourselves. Imagine that!
Our working hours is from 8.00 to 4.45 from Sunday to Wednesday. On Thursday we work only up to 4.30. But the beauty is that for lecturers is flexible! Now Delinn & I can go for long lunches but we do not have anywhere to go!!

Now I am at the library. I should give myself a pat on the back for finding a book in the library using the system(the library is very canggih one). For your info, during study days, library is for dating only..ha!ha!ha!

I really need to get a good pair of shoes or invest an escalator for UUM. Just now I climbed the flight of stairs to the library, & when I ask the librarian, where are the books for MGT and the answer is 5th floor. HA!HA! I manged to climb or should I say crawl and only to find the particular book is on the 4th floor!. I was ready to scream, but only screm inside as it is the library.
Anyway, this is my life right now. When do you think I would be fit enough to run up the steps?

Bye!
