When Malaysian boss fighting with Indian dentist

When that thing happened, I just put a distant, keep quiet but actively listening hehehe...
That was on Good Friday after we had fun with dinner and walked on the beach :(.........

Malaysian boss wanted to go somewhere and asked me and our friends to join her. The Indian dentist agreed to join as long as we come back before 2pm so that we can have half of the day to do something else. Unfortunately this Malaysian boss didn't like to hear that as for her why she should listen to others. If the Indian dentist want to come along, she should follow her plan. So I just have to listen when Malaysian boss complained about that Indian dentist...

Then the Indian dentist joined us watching tv. I went upstairs for a while and when I came downstairs I heard them arguing about something with firm and raised voice. The Malaysian boss did not like the way that the Indian dentist say something which is just like giving instruction. Meanwhile the Indian dentist did not like the way the Malaysian boss say something that for her was rude. The Malaysian boss said to Indian dentist that she told another housemate that she didn't like the way Indian dentist say something. The Indian dentist argued that if someone not comfortable with her, that someone should tell directly but not tell other people. Then Malaysian boss said if the dentist want to come, she can come. If she doesn't want to, she doen't care. In that stress situation, they came to an agreement that whenever one of them not feeling comfortable with another one word or attitude they should tell one another. Then she went to the kitchen and mumbling something about that Indian...I was just focusing on creaming the butter and sugar for kuih samprit and smile....The funny thing she went back to that Indian, kinda like to make up and said let's be square......Someone may not wake up early, why not go at 8am. The dentist said if you say 7.20am, I'll ready by 7.20am...Then gaduh lagi hahhaha..........

Then Malaysian boss went upstairs and that Indian joining me making kuih samprit. She complained about Malaysian boss and asked several questions such as why that Malaysian boss is like that? Is she has a friend? etc...

So I told her, for nearly 3 years I have been with her. I used to it. So it is better just shut up while we were having argument. So I said of course sometimes I couldn't sleep because of Malaysian boss harsh word and I just speechless to answer her back....Indian dentist said that she can't do that. She kinda like prefer to explain.

I added she used to be boss before..top people. Indian dentist said that she is a dentist..only she didn't said that for 1.5 years only hehhee...She also asked me if I were her, do I want to join the Malaysian boss to that somewhere. Hmm..I take a while to answer that. I want her to join us, but then it involve her pride and dignity too. She kinda like pushed me. So I said I am thinking. Then, slowly I said No. She thought so too. She also said that "just because she got a car, she cannot be rude to people". Yup, she got her point. I couldn't agree more. She also said that she sure that in the Quran, you cannot be rude to people...(She is Hindu).

I remember I said that we have to learn to adapt with people (meaning that we have to adapt with Malaysian boss attitude and behaviour). I also mentioned that whenever Malaysian boss came to argument with somebody, the German housemate prefer to smile and the Philipines hmate just keep quiet. Indian dentist again said she can't. Yep of course, that her personality, and mine I prefer to be quiet if I speechless to argue of fight back hehehe...So, I told the Indian dentist maybe the Malaysian boss felt that she was challenged by her because all this while people does not answer back or argue with her. So both of them suit and match each other hahhaha..............

Good Friday, Makan Day and Baking Day

It was Good Friday and it was a holiday......

But why it is called Good friday ?
From wiki :
Good Friday (from the senses pious, holy of the word "good"),[1][2] is a religious holiday observed primarily by Christians commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary. The holiday is observed during Holy Week as part of the Paschal Triduum on the Friday preceding Easter Sunday, and may coincide with the Jewish observance of Passover. It is also known as Black Friday, Holy Friday, Great Friday, or Easter Friday,[3] though the latter normally refers to the Friday in Easter week.

Hmm..whatever...As long as we Muslim believe that Jesus(Isa) is God's messenger and he was not crucified. God raised him up to heaven. I remember that one of the Saudi student asked our english conversation teacher, why it is called Good friday when it is supposed to be Sad friday....terkedu cikgu tu hehhe. The same goes when he asked the teacher why Easter is associated with egg and Bunny. Yup, normally our christian friends don't know the reason :)....My friend's spv said it a symbol of new life....Korang nak tau, sila google ya...

So, how I spend my day on Good friday?
I planned to go to uni and prepared my lunch pack. When I went upstairs it has already 11.15am...Hehhee...so I cancelled my plan. And just did my work at home.

At 5.45pm me and my housemates=kanda, Indian, American and Philipino hmates went to have dinner at Thai restaurant..Our german hmate went to Melbourne..

We ordered fried rice to be shared. And each of us ordered the main course separately, but of course we shared that too. I had fish fillet in chili sauce...Yum...mine was the best.

Other food was quite bland for example grilled squid..Ohh..we really shocked to see that fried rice was aud27. We thought it only cost aud17 for 5 people...The price was ridiculous. I never thought it is really expensive..Yup maybe previously either our accommodation manager paid for our dinner our my spv treat me lunch there...In fact we have to pay extra aud2.50 each because it was public holiday....Huish! Why they charged us for that...It is opened, that was why we went there. It was not the other way round where they have to open because we want to eat there....

Then later instead of went straight to home we went to the beach. It was full moon, just in case they have the drumming festival...

Yup people was playing drums and fire woods nearby the beach

My Indian housemate wanted to go to the beach, so I accompanied her...from behind hehhehe.....She was so brave to play with the water even though from far I could see big waves coming............
Memanglah dalam gambar tak nampak omabk besar...tengok tu the tide is raising so fast....sibuk posing tetiba air dah sampai situ hehhee.....


who else...yours trully ;)On saturday we gonna have another activity. I didn't know what to bring. Belek2 my recipe folder, ternampak biskut samprit. Then turun bawah, tengok semua bahan ada. So that nite, setelah sekian lama I started baking again :). It was so hard to press the mould..nyesal buat, baik buat kek je. Guna mixer, masukkan batter in the tray and terus humban dalam oven. Mungkin coz aku tak timbang main agak2 je sukatan, maka I didn't get the right consistency for the dough, so bila tekan tak cantik bentuk yg keluar selain putus-putus..I gave up and rolled the dough flat and cut it to rectangle pattern. Sesudahnya I only slept at 1.20am. Tu pun my Indian hmate help me hehehe...Ni je tinggal serdak yg tinggal on Sunday afternoon..........

Kesimpulannya sedaplah tuh, my biskut samprit. Kalau tak silap recipe taken from MakLang Azie's blog. Kanda yang memula tak makan pun, sekali ambil 3 keping hehehe. My Indian housemate 2, 3 kali jugak asked my permission to eat that biscuits. Dah letak atas dining table..so just feel free to eat :)).........

Live the life....

What would you do if someone said "hati tak tenang,saya rasa bingung"?
What makes someone feel that?
Is that someone still hurt by the past or scared of the future?
What if that someone said both?
Why not we say Allah is always with us?
Can we say to that someone to forget the past?
What if that someone can't forget the past no matter how hard that someone had tried?
Of course it is hard to forget the past especially one that hurt you the most, but if it keep on tormenting you, bring you down and affect and harm your present life, when will you enjoy your life? how will you be happy?
Should we say,
learn from the past, live in the present
and dream and prepare for the future.
..

Not everybody get what you got....So why don't you be grateful, appreciate and indulge the opportunity and experiences of being here , bury your sorrow, look and move forward............
It so easy to say it but what if we were in that someone shoes?
Someone may act like that, when someone's patience was pushed beyond the limit...

Even though I sympathized with that someone, I don't know how to help that someone anymore. That someone does not want to listen to others. That someone also got furious when that someone felt that other people invading that someone personal boundary even though the other party only had good intention to make that someone comes to someone sense. What else friend is for ? Sometimes I was also irritated when that someone kept on complaining about other people and expecting them to do as what that someone wants but at the same time that someone still does not want to change, as well as to cease the ego, erase the hatred and stop bearing the grunge and always have negative thinking and doubt other people. Please stop torturing yourself, meet and get to know other people and LIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE FULLEST....


Yup, it is someone right to stay as someone is. If that someone does not want to change, let go of the past and listen to others, why that someone keep on looking for people to listen to that someone problem and complaints ?

However, I feel uncomfortable when I heard people talking about that someone. Of course, I'm at fault too, I do the same thing but I only share in the blog where people don't know that someone. That only happen if I can't stand it any longer. But not spread that someone problem to the people who know that someone. Tell others is one thing, seems happy with what had happened to that someone is another thing. The worst when one of them who just heard about that, spread another part of the stories, put two and two together, make her own conclusion and blamed that someone without knowing the whole stories. In fact she made her own stories which were totally opposite from what I heard from that someone. Not only that, later she made her own investigation about that someone by asking certain people who used to be quite close to that someone. Last time she said that she couldn't be bother about that someone anymore, but why she went up to that extent this time ?

To that someone..
INSYA ALLAH, you'll find your way...
You have fight for your right and done all the possible ways that no one may even think of doing so. So later there will no regret for not doing so. However, if the 'thing' is not meant for you, you have to accept it. That thing is not everything. You may not get it now, but you may get it in the future...Allah knows what is best for us. Somebody told me that you never failed to get anything that you want, hmmm you never told me about this before. So this may be the time that you have to learn that you won't get everything that you want. You should not be ashamed if you won't get it since you have done your best :)....Again, I know I am not the one who carrying that heavy burden and I am still sailing to that somewhere ...

update : 11/4/2012-3.33pm:
My friend shared these beautiful words in FB..........

ASTAGHFIRULLAH FOR THE PAST
ALHAMDULILLAH FOR THE PRESENT
INSYA ALLAH FOR THE FUTURE..............

Lintah lagi....

Lately, memang mood berblogging ke laut ;)), lagipun tak kuasa nak upload gambar.

On Wednesday aku tak bawa heavy meal to uni, aku hanya bawa danish pastry. Kononnya nak pi postgrad lunch. Nyesal pi, dahlah beratur panjang, hanya ada sandwich je...The purpose for that lunch was supposed to be for networking. But actually people only talked with the people they know or with whom they came...Hish, banyak komen kan. Padahal makan free, patut bersyukur ....I got my lappy back and I paid that adik IT aud50. Daripada aku kayakan Cina kedai komputer tuh, baik aku kayakan adik undergrad yg baik hati tuh..Kesian jugak kat dia, menurut aweknya, ada kawan2 yg gunakan khidmatnya tapi tak bayar apa2 pun...Memanglah kalau mintak tolong kawan tak perlu bayar, tapi kita kena fikir, kawan kita tu student juga macam kita. So bayaran tu bukanlah upah, tapi more like as menghargai masa dan tenaga yang dia dah habiskan mengadap membaiki lappy tuh.

Then my spv came to my office to give me the big easter egg.

She will be on holiday for a week. Yeay...lalu tikus boleh menari2 hehehe. So we should meet after that since it has been quite a while I have not seen/discuss with her....Ye lah, no result, no report lahkan...;)

On 5th April, I cooked couscous udang kunyit for my lunch....Hehehe kunyit lagi, haritu ayam kunyit. Guna frozen prawn je ...

Bila pi opis, biasalah with my programming. But I didn't get the result as it supposed to. Hmm...I should check my model right from the start and check my coding too....Then, petang tu me and friends hang out with Cik Olyn yang dah takde kerja tu..Owh..how I wish I'm in that condition too....I had orange infused hot choc and carrot cake. I got two small easter eggs, tapi tinggal sebiji je in the first photo. Memang seronok sekali sekala take a break and borak dengan kengkawan. Wah macam2 info, cerita and gossip. Cuma kena tahan telinga dengan si Kanda la bila dia mula argue on something or said..."jangan ingat korang pandai sangat". That was her word when we talked about examination result...Bila balik opis, macam takde mood pulak buat kerja. Kuatkan semnagat jugaklah. At last 8.30pm I gave up and packed my things. On my way to the bus stop I met my slow tapi pandai friend again, Mr Leech...

Not sure whether the same leech that I saw previously. If so, it has moved quite far....

Actually, aku dah tak berani sangat nak balik lambat. Kalau dulu aku keluar paling lambat 9.35 pm coz nak kejar the last bus. tapi since dah end of day light saving starting from 1st April, 9.35pm tu dah kira quite late. Last tuesday, when one of the senior lecturer saw me as I was about to exit my school at that time, he remind me not to walk alone in the dark. He suggested me to call security to accompany me to the bus stop. But my friend does not trust the security too...Hehehe..memang pun, coz ada yang muka macam tukang pecah rumah jugak.

Jom vakum laptop....

Apa dah jadi ????????

Begini ceritanya.....
Apa kaitan dengan vacuum cleaner ?........

Hah nampak ke ??????

Belajar tinggi (takdelah tinggi mana pun hahhaha...should I say belajar jauh), tak semestinya bijak ya Puan-puan....
Begitulah simpton orang-orang Phd yang kritikal lagi nazak...Buat benda bukan-bukan. Konon nak cepat lagi mudah. Lagi menyiksakan kena buka vakum cleaner tu dan menguis-guis kekotoran...uwekkkkkkkkk.

Dengan laptop tu pun dah nazak. The 'dot' and 'O' keys were not functioning anymore. Even though I can use the on screen keyboard, I prefer to use external keyboard. That explains why my lappy keyboard yang berabuk, berdebu dan bertanda tuh...Dahlah my lappy cacat, last year terkena jangkitan virus, so my lappy masuk spital. Konon nak dapatkan rawatan terbaik dan cepat, maka terbanglah nak bayar yuran perkhidmatan dan rawatan sebanyak aud120. Bila bebeberapa hari discharge from hospital, macam ada sakit lain pulak. Aku dah tak mampu dan malas, maka aku hantar je rawatan alternatif. Chet rupanya doktor tak bagi rawatan yang secukupnya...Aku bayar rawatan alternatif aud60. Dan tiba2 last Wednesday, lappy aku sakit lagi. Dia kena stroke, so semuanya kaku tak bergerak.........Maka on Monday the 2th April, aku kena bersihkan dia mana yang patut sebelum dihantar ke pusat rawatan alternatif. Maka terjadilah kejadian yang tidak disangka-sangka seperti di atas hahhaha..........Padanlah muka aku...Aku kan BIJAK....

On Tuesday, I told my philipino n german hmate about my sick lappy. Tetiba kanda tanya dah beli/install Kapersky ke...I cakap tak. Dia kelihatan hampir2 nak cakap padan muka...Kalau dia cakap mahu je aku smash balik, I am not complaining, I just telling them....yang dia nak masuk campur apahal. Tapi at last dia cakap I supposed to learn from my previous mistake....I know, but I didn't want to think about matter that make me stress even more. Better redha....So tengahari tu, my lappy masuk rumah sakit alternatif .....

On sunday, once again I become kanda GPS assistant to Westfield...We bought Indian food at the foodcourt...beef rogan josh and chicken apatah..tikka ke..and chillies pickles...


For early dinner on Monday, I had turmeric chicken with cous cous........


On Tuesday, I just mixed this turmeric chicken with couscous....sedap atau tak. Habis aku makan :).

On Wednesday, pepagi 7.45am aku pi woolies..cari sayur and muesli. Mahal pulak veges in woolies this week. Nak pi fruit market malas. Sedap betul tengok danish pastries...Choc donut pun sedap. Hampeh...dalam donut tu macam ada kastad+vegemite....grrrr...maka aku makan tanpa perasaan. Aku mmg susah telan vegemite, umpama cicah donut dalam petis............

Aku nak cerita pasal lappy kan..camna boleh terlajak pasal food hehhehe..........

Picnic on the beach ?

Aku memang malas betul nak berblogging lately....Ni hah aku kumpul cerita seminggu...

On Saturday -March 24th, as I was not sure whether I want to go out or not to meet my friend in the city, my Philipino hmate asked me whether I want to join her to have lunch outside. At first we planned to go to Indian cafe, but later end up eating tacos and nachos hehehe.........

On Sunday the 25th, me, kanda, german n Philipino hmate planned to have picnic branch on the beach, but end up sitting on the bench at the park overlooking the sea hehhee......

Dah guna camera chikai, mana nampak laut hehehe. Hah ni gambar masa Australia day, nampak jugaklah laut walaupun tak membiru...


Kanda prepared the pumpkin soup and garlic bread(tapi guna my pumpkin and carrot la hehhee), the philipino prepared seafood pasta while the german prepared cold tomato soup.


Aku? Aku tak kuasa nak prepare apa2..beli je frozen spincah roll


Then bakar. Tapi awatlah lambat masak n bertukar warna, bila angkat kat bawah dah rentung hahhaha............Semestinya halal We really enjoy our time there. Bila matahari memancar the german sukalah, me and philipino dok pakai sunglasses and hoodies hehhee...........Walaupun we really full, we still had desert at home...scone top with butter and jam and cream and accompanied by ice cream...yummmy......

On tuesday-March 27th, I cooked black pepper pasta for my lunch.

Tu yg tergolek tu fish ball fried by the Philipino...Pasta tu lah yang menjadi my lunch pack for 3 days hehehe....Nyampah bila kanda kata aku masak lama. Yelah nak masak dulu pasta tu, sambil tu potong daging n sayur. Then nak masak sosnya pulak....Bila sampai uni, I wrote all my calculation properly. Nanti tak tahu pulak mana satu salah, mana yg betul hehehe...Belek2 drawer, jumpa coklat....benda free jgn ditolak.


Haritu orang yang sama juga bagi cake 2 kali pulak tu...Tiba-tiba at 4pm ada orang ketuk bilik. Ingatkan the temp staff yang just check number of person in each room, rupa-rupanya my friend. ...Nampak je muka dia, baru aku teringat aku tak sembahyang zuhur lagi. Apalagi kalutlah....Selesai je solat, apalagi bermula lah sesi aku sebagai pendengar. Actually aku bengang jugak, dia tak bagitau tetiba main terjah bilik aku...(Tapi lpas tu bila aku check email, di ada hanyar YM message to come to my opis)...Tu la rupanya pagi tu dia call aku, aku tak sempat angkat coz tangan penuh lotion, nak call semula takde credit. Dia call semula, masuk machine...Hmm Hp ku dah mengong la tuh...Dalam pada dia merayau tanpa tujuan. Rupanya dia dah cerita pada sorang adik ni pasal masalah dia. Tu la kena juga jumpa orang lain other than me. Now baru tau adik tu very cool n understanding....

Tapi as usual, dia asyik salahkan seseorang atas masalah yg menimpanya. Kalau dah tak suka, tinggalkanlah. Buat apa nak siksa diri. Bila aku nak cerita bagi contoh, dia mudah sangat naik angin, potong cakap aku and buat assumption. Sampai aku fed up, malas nak sambung cakap, terus bagun dan cakap nak ambil wuduk. Bila aku selesai ambil wuduk, dia tanya apa kaitan contoh aku dengan cerita dia. Aku cakap aku pun tak ingat sebab dia potong cakap aku....Then aku solat, berkemas and cakap aku nak pi city. Yelah takkan aku nak halau dia balik pulak dalam dia memerlukan seseorang. So walaupun aku sendiri tengah stress dengan kerja aku yg banyak tuh, baik aku blah sebelum aku jadi lebih stress dengan dia yang nak orang faham dia, tapi dia sendiri tak nak faham orang...Kami jalan bersama ke bus stop. Bila sekali lagi dia cakap pasal masalah dia, I lost my patience and aku raised my voice and said dah tak suka, tinggalkan je...Aku pi city makan ayam sensorang hehhee.........

Tapi aku makan separuh je la. Tapau bawak balik la...Malam tu aku tengok My kitchen rule finale...Sedih...Roco kalah....My german housemate belikan greek yogurt and choc cake.

Haritu aku beli yogurt perisa blueberry, tapi aku tak suka coz manis. Aku prefer greek yogurt yg agak masam. So aku bagi dia my yogurt. Rupanya dia nak jugak ganti my yogurt tuh. Kek coklat tuh coz dia tau aku teringin cake coklat. Haritu aku buat guna mwave, tapi tak jadi sangat coz malas letak telur. Bila aku makan on thursday it was actually banana cake not choc cake...telan je la, Benda free kan hehehe... Terharu pulak ada kawan yg ingat kita. Of course she shouldn't do that...Tapi dia kata i dah bagi banyak kat dia. Owh baru teringat I ada bagi dia deodorant sample, sun block yg aku dpt free, my heater and also hair straightener left by my friend yg aku tak pernah guna n tak tahu guna...Tu la benda yg kita tak pakai better bagi pada orang yg memang pakai, daripada dijadikan perhiasan or tukun tiruan hehhehe....

Hari rabu aku kalut pi uni nak jumpa spv nak tunjuk presentation slide. Dia takde I just slipped the printed slide under her door. Bila check email rupanya dia tak dapat datang coz anak sakit...So aku buatlah kerja constructing my model. Nampak complex. Kenapa pulak ada penambahan term compared to my previous work. Habih..risau sungguh. Takkan projek dulu silap. Kalau model silap, result pun silap, meaning kena buat correction for my paper Oh No !!!! Aku balik malam la. When the bus nearly reached the bus stop at the undergrad accomodation, the students ran like mad crossing the road. When the bus stop, they cant wait to get on the bus. Just imagine the situation out of control when the students shouting and yelling loudly. So scary luckily I sat in the first row just near the driver. But lady bus driver...She cant do anythig if something happen. I know they were going to the bar since I read somewhere that nite the drinks cost aud3 only....

Bila balik, on kan lappy...bila click mozilla unrespond n ada bunyi pelik. malas nak tunggu I cuba on off 3 kali..pun Camtu jugak. Turun dulu reheat the fries and fried chicken...Malas nak join kanda n Indian bising2 di bawah dalam keadaan yg stress ditambah pulak dgn lappy buat hal. So sambil makan, sambil figure out what is wrong..try check safe mode...boleh pulak. Tapi dah namanya safe mode certain application je la boleh guna. dugaan sungguh kan....

On thursday...aku ternampak lebam kat keting and betis...Hish hantu mana yg gigit. Sakit pulak tu, jalan pun susah...Tak tahulah kenapa..ada yg kata salah tido, ada yg kata penat sgt..yang pastinya aku memang tak langgar apa2 hehehe...Tapi mungkin jugak, haritu aku jalan banyak and laju kot...terkejut salur darah lalu pecah....nanti marah doktor dengan aku punya assumption hehhee...

Then aku terlmabat jumpa spv and attend farewell gathering tuh. Spv siap spread the cheese on the biskut and bagi kat aku and my friend hehhee....Dia mmg suka cheese tu. Orang lain dah blah, dia bagi aku chips and grapes hehhee....rezeki jangan ditolak....So dalam pada bengang kena baiki slaid, makan tetap makan hehehe. Bila my opismate look at my slaid, dia tanya apa contribution..Aku cakaplah for future experiments and MD Simulation and the development of new device. Dia macam tak puashati...So aku cakap aku study how the structures interact with each other. Sibuk sangat tanya aku kan. Aku tanya apa dia buat. Terdiam hehehe. So dia cakap dia buat prediction of....Memamglah bidang kami buat prediction tak kisahlah apa cara or model kami guna...........Anyway, this kind of dicussion mmg bagus. When you talk with someone who have no idea of your work and how you can explain it in simple word ;)...

Then aku semak my previous work. Harap lah takde kesilapan..nanti banyak benda kena buat semula. Alhamdulillah ok..Memanglah tak sama hehhe...Model dulu in the centre.. Model sekarang ada offset....Memanglah ada penambahan term.

Bila aku chat dgn my GOOD friend, now I see kenapa dia tak boleh ngam dengan boss dia...Ni her words in

"selalu sgt forward emel seminar yg i pun dpt.then check i tak p.dia ckp i am not behave like a phd sbb tak p seminar yg dia forward.sekali dua i ok la.bila da selalu dia buat "

So aku tanya-u only go if you want to go?-

"yes la .i choose my own seminar.i am an adult .kenapa pulak kena ikut ckp dia.i tak suka org nak control2 ni ."

And I said -memanglah, tapi kalau dia as boss benda tu berguna why not pergi je-

"i tau p mana2 seminar.so u n dia nak ckp i tak pandai nilai la .i tau la i menilai seminar mana i nak pergi .i pun tak pernah paksa u p seminar endnote or apa2 kan .so samala kan.each of us tau la menilai mana baik utk kita.mgkin dia layak supervise master student je.so bole la arah2 student p sminar"

Aku, dalam hati sentap....dalam pada dia mengutuk spv dia, dia tak sedar dia mengutuk aku yang biasanya ikut je arahan spv. Hmm...so spv aku layak supervise master student je ye..Kalau camtu aku level master ye. Bukan takut. Walaupun kita tak suka, tp kalau benda tu baik untuk kita why not. Contohnya when I joined that competition, boleh latih my confidence selain dapat input from judge and audience. If you don't want to go, just refuse it diplomatically....Teringat lagi bila dia cerita spv favor and puji2 student yg excellent. Dikatanya orang tu bodek spv....So, tu la kalau tak boleh nak kerja dengan orang lain dan tak boleh ikut arahan, memang susahlah. Tapi bila ada orang bagi apa yg dia nak, bukan main suka lagi walaupun org tu dia pernah kutuk tak membantu menyelesaikan masalahnya etc...Bukan semua benda orang boleh bagi kita, sometimes kita kena cari sendiri. Anyway my friend, again I am not i your shoes....Saya kesian, saya simpati, tapi awak kena juga buang ego, atasi kedegilan dan semua dendam tuh.....

Bila balik rumah nak tengok Desperate Hwives, eh takde pulak...On friday...the day of thesis competition. Petang tu bila check FB..wah Cik Olyn dah submit thesis. Congratulation Sis... You jangan balik sesenyap je tau. Malam, i had this for dinner

stir fried veges+pickled radish+egg sambil tgk movie The Perfect Match..............

Aku kalah huhuhu....

Sebelum aku citer sedih meh aku nak tunjuk gambar my food.

Last nite for dinner I had toasted bread top with garlic+olive oil, sundried tomato, sausages and feta goat cheese...yummy....


For brekky today I had lempeng pisang tebal...tak kuasa nak ambil gambar. Then I bought indian food for lunch-lamb vindaloo+tandoori chicken.

Percayalah aku makan sampai licin. Aku pun terkejut hahhaha....

Do you still remember I have to participate in the thesis competition? My spv said it should be fun. Yang aku penat2 prepare 3 hari untuk 3 minit tu kan. So semalam aku patut tunjuk slide kat spv in the morning. Tapi aku lambat pi uni, bas pun lambat sampai. So aku tak sempat jumpa spv and lambat join her farewell party for my group member. So, aku terus joint that party and apologized from her for coming late. Luckily dia tak marah hehhee...Then dia ajak aku discuss pasal slide kat situ jugak. Dia suruh baiki equation and letak my result in term of graph. Pulak dah...dah jadi kerja tambahan pulak kan..so 4 days preparation for 3 minutes competition.

So today is the day of the competition. Hahhaa...only at school level. There were 5 participants. Cheh depa tepuk for the so called brave volunteer. Sukarela? Aku gelak2 bagitau kawan aku tu paksarela.....I was so nervous because I have to do the oral presentation in front of the people I know...cakap terketar2. Pulak tu my figure was not clearly seen huhuhu. In fact one of the judge asked whether she can see my slide in the laptop because she wanted to see my unclear figure and she said that it was so fast. While waiting for the result we had pizza and soft drinks....The funny thing was the judge took more than 30 minutes to discuss. We said the judge should be given 3 minutes too to discuss hehehhe.....Then the judge came and announced that the Saudi guy-my group member worth mentioned, the second place went to the Oz lady and the first place went to another Oz lady......The moment the judge announced the winner, my eyes met my spv eyes. She kinda gave me the signal it's allright. So aku tempat ke-4 or 5 lah kan...Anyway they gave this piece of paper to each of the participant.....


So padanlah muka aku kan. Haritu aku mengata org yang gave bored presentation. Aku pulak with the listed problem hehehe....Hish camnalah tak letak nama. Tulah konon nak simple mungkin. Haritu aku dah terpikir jangan guna warna kuning for the figure, tapi degil ..so tak clear. Bila ada banyak figure, aku terpaksalah terangkan sambil merujuk slide, so tak dapatlah pandang audience. Walhal yang the first winner used one big figure only.

Apa perasan aku? Again I got mixed feeling...Happy because it was finished and I don't have to prepare for the faculty level. Dissappointed because I spent so much time to prepare it and even though I was not confident, I felt that my presentation was not too bad. In fact my friend said that I done it smoothly. So she think that I might have go thru...;)...Lagipun the first saudi guy talked so fast. The two Oz lady - aku susah nak faham apa dia cakap, but they seemed so calm. The last saudi guy put so many equations which may not suitable for audience from other area. So terdetikla harapan jugak hehhee....Anyway this was good experience and as my spv said I can put it my CV too hehehe...See things happen for reason...

Kantoi dengan spv

Due to Monday blues, normally, I didn't go to uni on Monday and sometimes on Tuesday too. So, to make sure that I go to uni I'll prepare the lunch pack early in the morning. Unfortunately, even though I have prepared the food I just stayed at home last Tuesday...Apatah, maggi goreng kot...

I only went to uni on Wednesday and for dinner I had pasta with spinach+cheese feeling which topped with creamy pasta sauce and leftover chicken bolognese sauce. It supposed to be layered like lasagna, unfortunately, the spinach was overcooked and the the white sauce and the bolognese sauce just mixed together while I was scooping it from the tray. Even though the looks was terrible..the taste was good and later ended my dinner with my indian hmate 8minutes choc cake. Below is that pasta which was my lunch on Thursday..tu yg rupa sememeh after reheated in microwave oven.

I didn't go to uni again on Thursday. When I went downstairs my Indian housemate was eating her red bean curries. It smell so good and that led me to cook chicken curry for my dinner.... I only got chicken breast in the freezer but doesn't matter as long as I can meet my craving. I didn't use oil and coconut milk in my curry. I just dumped everything in the pan and cooked it -Alagappa curry powder, chili powder, water and of course added sliced tomato and onion, finely cut ginger and minced garlic, and salt. After nearly 15min cooking I didn't get the taste right...so I added sugar, mixed spices and black pepper. So the taste got better....



On friday, I had my morning walk instead of went to the harbour I went to woolies to buy groceries. Only after I had my lunch I went to uni. We had the school seminar at 3.30pm and I planned not to go coz I got so many things to do. Unfortunately, when I just walked out from the toilet...someone called me from the stairs. It was my spv...grrrrrrrrrrr. So when she asked me whether I'll go to the seminar or not, so I just said yes unwillingly. She also asked me to prepare the slide for the thesis competition. Hehhee..I didn't tell her that I have prepared it..............Anyway when I went to seminar, it was really interesting when the speaker talked about iterated tiling and how people can commercialized it for example the tiling for one of the sculpture or structure at Federation Square Melbourne and for the hotel in US. But the second speaker talk was so boring, not only I didn't understand of what he talk about but also the way he delivered it...he was just facing and writing on the whiteboard while talking. Everybody seemed bored, in fact several of the audiences left before his talk ended. Kita belajar ya....don't let people bored with our talk...

While I was waiting for the second speaker writing on the board I read an article. Suddenly it gave me idea on how to do my calculation. But of course I should try to get the solution before proceed with my work. Unfortunately later I still didn't get the same solution as in the article. It just a simple calculation even though it involves higher order polynomial and rational functions. I spent 3 days mengadap benda tu. Even the computer can't get the same term as in the article. So, I spent my afternoon sitting on the bench tried to figure it out. Alhamdulillah, while watching movie on Sunday, I got the idea...Hmm i just have to be creative to manipulate it. Tu la kalau dah stress benda mudah pun tak nampak. If my spv knew that I had difficulty with that simple calculation she must be wonder why she accepted me as her Phd student hehehe....

Mari mari Kerastangan

Walaupun aku ni tiada kesenian mahupun ketelitian membuat kerja, adakalanya aku berminat juga menghasilkan sesuatu yang menggunakan daya kreativiti. So bagaimana kita nak menghias kotak comel ini ?????Apa dalam kotak ?????Hmm takkan nak bagi ni je for your friend graduation...Apa kata kita letak bunga nak kasi ceria.

Kalau Pedro bear jadi bucuk masham....dia boleh sembur that scented spray, kalau dia mahukan wangian untuk diri sendiri dia boleh sembur kenzo hehhee......But still it look something is missing........Nak tambah apa ya??? Maka bermulalah sesi kerastangan zaman kanak2 dulu hehhee.......Siap !!!!!..........Ni for my friend aka hmate 2 bulan....


But what about my ex-hmate 9 bulan....

Kita tambah hiasan lagi ya....

Why don't we add more flowers...


But later I changed my mind. Macam sayang pulak nak bagi the first kerastangan. End up I got another pedro bear and gave it to my ex-hmate 9 bulan....

and the second kerastangan to my hmate 2 bulan dengan tambahan rambu ramba n scroll


Di sebabkan my housemate tu ganas, beberapa minit selepas dia bergambar with this kerastangan...habis tercabut dan terbarai semua hahhaha...Ada kawan tu siap mengata aku guna beg plastik sumbat2 je...Chet, aku beli la that colourful plastic wrap and wrapping paper. Sesudahnya before dia balik Malaysia she gave me back that basket hehehe...Oklah juga bagi mini perfume, compared to fresh flower yang tak mungkin bole bawa balik Malaysia hehehe....

Amacam, boleh tak aku bukak gift shop? Masa undegrad dulu aku ada kawan nama Faridah. We just dreamed of opening the bussiness next to each other where I would take care of the gift shop and she would runs the pet shop hehehe....Ada sorang lagi the so called bussiness partner, tapi aku lupa dia nak jual apa hehehe....

Oklah aku nak bersiap pi uni ni. Semalam nak concentrate buat kerja, tapi buntu n ngantuk...Tetiba my friend nak datang my office wpun I kata I tgh serabut. Aduh!!! From 5pm to 7.20pm. Kenapalah aku tak kuat to say No....She still stayed while I was performing Asar prayer. Only after I tidy up the mess on the table and told her that I want to perform maghrib prayer, she left. Kesian sangat kat dia, tak tahu nak buat apa...as usual ada jugak terselit blaiming his boss. Even though we are not in the same field, I think she should be clear of what she wanna do in her research, strong research problem and research questions and method. But I don't know how the strong RP and RQ should be. Then kami sesama gelak bila dia cakap mesti orang nampak dia yg salah. Coz kawan sebidang senegara who has the same problem as her still can survive, the same goes to kawan di bawah boss yg sama pun survive jugak....In fact kawan bidang lain, uni lain pun survive. That friend also said that is normal. Whatever it is I know that you are a fighter...Jangan berhenti berharap dan berusaha. Pasrah itu menyerah...Never too late doing something. If it really late, then it is better late than never....Semoga perjalanan Phd kita dipermudahkan dan diberkati. Amiin....
