1st time on helicopter ride

Bila bos bagitau, yang kali ini trip ke Mukah akan menaiki helikopter, hati ku dah berbunga-bunga riang...seakan sakai pun ada...like a kid, yeah, i know but i cannot help to behave like a kid!and im really looking forward for the helicopter rides!yeahuuu!!

so, seawal pukul 6.30am (heli dijangka bertolak pada pukul 7.30am), aku dah terpacak kat luar gate Skyways hornbill, sampaikan pakcik guard ingat aku budak praktikal yang nak keje kat hornbill (apekah?do i look that young?..ngeheheheh)

ku ingat makey heli tok..pa kecik gilak tok?

tunggu punya tunggu, around past 7am, we were told there was some changes of flight. Instead of flying on 7.30am, we were scheduled to fly on 9.30am due to pilot's problem..adeh..adeh..and i was at the office since 6.30!!OMG..

then,somebody showed up..it was the Minister of Land Development with his private secretary..hm...

9.00am, we were told that our heli is ready to take off...to mukah!!!!at last....

let's enjoy what's being captured during the flight!!!enjoy~

 En. Abu naik heli eh~

 ready to take off...the ground..

 up..up..in the air!!!!woowweee...rasa macam naik cable car...a bit shaky at first~

 Kuching (stutong part) from the heli's view...

 Leaving kuching..somewhere between samarahan/kuching

 old fashion window, though~

 there's no more forest in Sarawak...only left the loggers trail along the way..

 Sebuyau?

 Filling oil tanker in Sibu before continue journey to Mukah..only take an hour from Kuching to Sibu..

Observant Vs Seer

well,another day in Ramadhan where i have to act normal and be like in those days when i'm not fasting...i'm here, stuck in a site supervision while the concrete pumped to the intended concrete area also stuck somewhere in the long tunnel of the pipes... in the middle of hot, sunny ramadhan~(adeh..the machine suck.. im suck..we are both suck!f**k!)

so i have no mood to put what i have been going through from morning until past noon, so let the pictures describe all~cheers

 still dont know what when wrong...look...see...look..see..

 trying to look into some other parts~

 knocking another part~sound nothing..(must be something)

 checking the whole tube~

 bos getting restless....another time waste means another money wasted!

 trying another method of concreting

 the planks is being place into positions...

 all ready~

 standby~

pouring concrete into the whellbarrow..well, old fashion ways always the best method..less headache..only slower than pumping method~

kedekut atau berjimat?~

Dulu-dulu, especially study time, aku tak sabar nak tunggu zaman bekerja..walaupun ada yang kata;

"ko akan merindui zaman persekolahan~"


"zaman belajar la best, tak payah nak pikir apa"

The truth is, i hate schooling time, more than anything else...ngaper aku cakap macam tu?sebab aku duduk kat sekolah asrama, semua nya kene ikut by the rules...rules and nothing but rules...rimas!!!lemas!!!

Lagi satu, bila dah bergelar seorang pelajar, banyak betul kena bayar...yuran, yuran bilik, bayar T-shirt kelab, yuran persatuan dan seribu macam yuran tah apa kobondo~Last2 aku bayar yuran guna duit syiling la pulak~tu pun hasil pengorekan dalam tabung dan duit yang di selongkar dalam loker ataupun bawah katil (entah duit aku ka duit orang lain, hantam saja)

Bila dah tak ada duit, mula lah aku memasang angan-angan kunun2 nya kalo dah bekerja nanti, blh la aku memakai wangian DKNY (tak mainlah beli kat jualan murah AVON~), pakaian dalam yang sepasang atas dan bawah nya yang dibeli dari butik dan gedung pakaian terkemuka (tak main la beli dari kedai apek cina kat india street, apa kelas~), barangan beauty care jenis yang ratusan (bukan jenis yang beli dari kedai yang kat rak biasa~)

Angan2 aja nak pakai Victoria Secret, ngko mampu?

Ceh~

Tapi bila dah bekerja, rasanya makin miskin la pulak....dulu kalo nak balik kampung, naik MAS pun blh tiap2 bulan (sekarang mampu drive jah~). minyak wangi DKNY pun pakai main sembur skali jer setiap pagi..sayang wor~

Choosing careers...

If we ask a child about what they want to be when they grow up, they will straight answer you...

1. doctor


2. teacher


3. pilot

I remember when i was in Primary school, i definitely will picked No.1 answer without any hesitation. Grown up with a medical historical family background, i'm used to formaline and hospital aromatic smell, and trust me, it feel like home to me.

When i was in Primary 2, i added another profession to my list. I wanted to become a teacher, not only a teacher to teach but also giving a guide in life..so i wanted to become more than a teacher, a ustazah instead!!(Hahaha...it always tickle me now thinking that i wanted to become a ustazah)

Approaching at the age of 12, i wanted to become a lawyer..Why? Because at that age, i know the power of talking...and the power of convincing people....But, lucky me, i only desire that profession only at that particular year, due to the definition of the profession instead..(hehe, ustazah aku ckp dulu, kalo nak backing orang, pastu orang tu sebenarnya bersalah tp kita tlg dia sehingga terlepas dari hukuman, kat akhirat nanti kita akan dihukum bersama...)Waduh, susah banget ini....

But,as years passed, i became uncertain of my own future, even i didnt know what course should i picked for University Level...i even considering to pick up marketing or financing as i'm good at calculating!

I chose Engineering instead.

why engineering??????

well, somebody has mentioned to me that the engineers are being paid higher than any other job...

But for me, it is because the nature of the work itself.

As a child, i always experienced to make something out of nothing. I still clearly remembered that i had collected can tins to make an oil lamp.I even constructed a hut for me and my friends to play not only for 'masak-masak' childhood games, but in the end it had turned into a cat house!!!(thanks a lot mum, you made us squattering around after that).

Still, after 3 years obtaining the BEng (Hons) Civil Engineering from a local University, i still uncertain of my own future!My goodness...

But i know, i need a job that;

1. Pay me good $$$$$.Of course beb, money makes the world go around and around...


2. Give a time of myself. So, i can use my brain to the maximum for critical and creative thinking.


3. No pressures. I cant work under pressures. I will crack under pressures.

So?^0^

Corporate woman VS Keparat Woman

What do you think of my title?

Sound familiar? Never thought about it? and how come?

I have known this lady for more than 3 years...When i first knew her, she was a cute, sweet girl with a shoulder length hair and a warm smile on her face. Always on casual shirt and trousers, she was an active person and we always in work together and it was very fun, considering that both of us was new to that company.

Then, after 2 years, i met this lady again. she was no longer the cute, sweet girl that i met 2 years ago. she totally transformed to a sexy, hot looking lady with a long, curly bleach-blonded hair. Not only she had changed her outer appearance, so does the inner personality.

Being a sexy, hot looking but brainless person is the perfect definition for that woman.My friends even labelled her as Paris Hilton, only she was far poorer and stupider compared to Paris.

Hailed from a remote area not far from here, i believe that she was quite determined to upgrade herself and to improve the living style of her family. When all the senior officer left the company, she was promoted (but i rather prefer the word offered)to be the acting manager for our division, and she took it without hesitation eventhough by qualification and experiences, she was far from the job qualification.But for me, it can be minimised if she was willing to upgrade herself along with the promotion!And the General Manager always sided her eventhough her answer was not only not answering the question asked, but also illogical to be done!

Similar looking picture of the GM..hehheheh

Both of us have the same knowledge background in education and even graduated form the same university. In fact, she was 5 years senior than me. Supposedly, by both life and working experiences, she should be doing much better than me, isnt it? But it seems that we worked in the other way around.

She started to boss around (she believes being a boss, she can order the team to work as the way she wants it to be. I believe that she should managed the team and give instructions based on the needs of the company). i ever covered her as she need to go to somewhere and instructed me to tell the other boss that she have family matter that required her to go back to her hometown. The truth was, she wanted to go to Miri with 'someone'!.

Our spark of argument begun when she started to ask me to do her work by the name of the General Manager. She will simply ordered me to go to meeting room and i will found myself in the middle of a meeting conference and i have to answer to the questions arised!

The relationship became critical when i have to handle a difficult situation back home. I was not being granted a leave and even not being granted a compassionate leaves for both my wedding day and the demised of my Allahyarham father...i was damned frustated, and full with anger on her attitude....of being not considerable on the situation that happen on me.

and now, i always picturise her as a demonic whore looking lady who willing to do anything to secure her position. but deep in my heart, i wish the nice, cute looking lady that i known for the past 3 years will returned back and i wished her the very best of all luck!!!

Illustration only...not the real picture of her..but nice looking girl thou....

Workaholic?Desperate? For Fun?

i think it was 2 or 3 years ago that i came across an article in a magazine about a lady worked as an accountant during daytime and became a dancer on night time. At first, my mind went like,"Wow, she must be desperate for money". Then the sceptical thought became admiration,"She was so good, having two job at one time"...an the thought keep on and on until i almost salute her as a superwoman!


Never that i imagine that it will be happen on me too.When i resigned from my recent job somewhere in Feb or March due to job satisfaction,i was desperate for a job. Being a wife of somebody in the age of 27 and having a car and a house to pay, yes, I'm desperate to look for a job.


I been interviewed for a one or two jobs; one with a firm in Kl and one with the local company here .i was quite confident that i will get the job with the local company even though the pay is not as high as my recent job.but it turned out that I'm only shortlisted for the job and i didn't get it. however, the interviewer recommended me to his friend's company instead which i got to know several months later.


As the process of getting job seems to be lenghty, i went for an open interview for another job and successfully got myself into one of the positions. And....this is the time when headache started to kick in ..


We have not being paid for more than 2 months after the first day on working. i was quite pissed off with the relevent person who was supposed to manage our salary and wellfare, and i didnt make a flinch when somebody call and offered me another job.i need the money to hush away the worrying feeling of not paying my car, my utility bills and my house.i need a money to stay focus on what i am doing now.

i was ready to leave my current job and face the consequences of not getting paid cuz i dont want to guess when and again when the exact time the administration wants to pay our salary for the past two months.and even i already signed the offer letter from the company saying that i will be working in due time. however, i have another second thought...

"it was funny why i never think about that before..
it was a shame why the second thought is being camouflaged by my past anger toward irresponsible person..
it was never cross my mind what my fast-without-thinking decision will affect the persons surroundings..."

(and blame it again to the irresponsible person who suppose to work and manage my welfare and pay me in due time!!!)

And now, im caught in the middle of the situation which i have to split myself into two. i have to work in the current situation now and i have to work in the company to mark my word.and i already received the advance payment to work for that company. and being an honest and responsible person, i dont want to break my promises or to breach any contract of my working attitude!

so...

i have to be that superwoman...having another job in the morning time, and working as another in the afternoon by time based working hour..life was indeed an eccentric!!

Pengalaman Ujian PTD pertama aku

Cam besa, aku bangun pagi lebih kurang kul 7am..Bukan apa, dah terbiasa bangun pagi2, kul 7am tu dah kira lambat jugakla bagi aku..maklum la, hari Sabtu, bukan waktu bekerja..tp hari ini aku kena duduk PTD exam..Itu yang membezakan hari Sabtu nie dgn hari Sabtu yang lepas-lepas.

Sebab pusat peperiksaan tu taklah jauh dr rumah aku, kira2 dalam 5 minit kut kalo naik keta..jalan kaki ada gak dlm 10 min..so aku g tepat kul 8.30 am..yela, exam kul 9am.walaupun dalam surat kata kene ada 30 min sebelum waktu mula peperiksaan, tp berdasarkan pengalaman aku amik Mtest (pun 1st time gak thn nie..keputusan nya adalah rayuan!), masuk dewan or kelas peperiksaan pun 15min sebelum ujian!

Pusat peperiksaan aku tu bersebelahan dgn sekolah rendah..nama pun hampir serupa...aku plak, tersalah nak g yg sekolah rendah.patutla tgk takder org pun yang g situ..bebudak sekolah rendah jer yang banyak.nasib aku guna logik...bertanya dgn salah seorg yg baru berhenti kat tempat parking...

Antara yang menyebabkan aku tersalah tempat (alasan jer la nie), adalah cara pemakaian calon2 exam ptd tersebut. ada yang pakai pakaian macam nak g shopping(ompuan ler), ada yang pakai jeans dgn baju tak berkolar dan paling mengharukan, berselipar di kaki! kalo tak salah aku, dalam surat panggilan exam kata pakaian formal...pakaian2 yang aku nyatakan tadi nie pakaian santai!

Nie Dewan Peperiksaan.Nampak tak ramai yang tak berpakaian formal?

Nie yang calon pakai jenas dgn slepar tadi!

Masa terluang antara exam tu (baru lepas 1 paper, tgh tunggu paper yang seterusnya), ada yang sempat bertelefon plak dalam dewan..bercakap2 dan tak kurang jugak ada yang menayangkan telefon dgn kawan sebelah.aku pun terasa nak kluarkan henpon tapi mungkin aku nie jenis yang ikut peraturan kot (ahak~),jadi aku pendamkan jer niat dalam ati..

Okla...aku rasa perkara2 yang dinyatakan oleh aku sebelum nie taklah penting sangat kut dalam ujian PTD kali ini..mungkin aspek pemakaian akan ditekankan semasa proses temuduga nanti..anyway,antara soalan-soalan yang sempat aku ingat;

• apakah itu phishing?aku jawab similar web to steal no acc and password, rupanya email sent to steal no acc and password.
• siapakah tongkat warrant?erk!nie patutnya aku blh jawap tapi aku jawap thman puteh!jawapan Usman Awang.Apakah yang terjadi pada memory aku?
• apakah maksud RAM
• fungsi Microsoft
• Alatan utama Mak yong-aku jawab gendang..aku ingat gendang,apa2 pun mesti adakan?tapi rupanya rebab!aku pun tak tau apa rebab tu, bentuknya, warnanya, bau nya.heh!
• Sukma 2010 akan diadakan di negeri mana? aku jawab melaka.nie jer yang betul.

Yang lain tu takyah la aku terangkan lagi...seksyen B aku tembak 3 soalan.malas nak kira2 lagipun abis masa dah...tapi berdasarkan apa yang aku ceritakan nie..korang pun blh buat kesimpulan kan nanti samada aku berjaya atau tidak...byk salah dari betul..tu baru pengetahuan am, lom lagi yang seksyen D dan E yang aku baru nak duduk petang nie..Adios!

Exam PTD

I was bored to death waiting for my confinement due to H1N1 quarantine procedure to be over end of this week...(and i was sick n tired telling makcik sebelah umah yang aku sik kenak lah!adohh..)

And...

I saw letters in my post box..i picked it up and saw;

1. Telephone bill from TmNet. (wey, i picked the internet combo basis and not supposed to have a phone bill.what and why you are charging me for?internet services again?)
2. A sealed letter from SPA (dup..dap..dup..dap..what's inside?i'm curious;p)

At last, a letter instructed me to go for exam..But wait, for the post of Pegawai Tadbir Diplomatik M41?Huh?Errr?

I'm not a type of people who always barged at the door without asking (tok perumpamaan x prepare terus g exam ler).So, as per date today, it has been two days and two nights im poking my nose to find out what it takes to be a PTD...(refers to my previous blog)

My findings?Wahhhhhhh!!!!!!!

i've been to the forums, blogs wrote by PTDs....and my conclusion, not only it is very hard to pass the table exam, PAC,DPA...but the candidates also have to serve and put the country first before themselves...(huhahuha...erk?!)

Okay, here's a tip or twos for those really want to become PTD and pass the exam;

• Read newspaper from page 1 to the end.
• Read Malaysia Kita book.
• Read all the Dasar-Dasar Kerajaan, the latest achievement received by Malaysia, who won recently,who got nominated and awarded something...e.g Hadiah Nobel ka..
• Flip back your math book.
• Read dictionary or journal about current issues in Malaysia-for essay preparation.
• Last but not least, find out more about this exam from internet.Don't depend on this as im also like you guy, sitting for the first time!

Well, good luck guys and happy reading!:)

p/s : Isham, ko nang terer la sebab 1st time exam, interbiu terus dapat..tapi ko nang terer lamak la..sik mampu ku mauk jadi macam kau..bila gik mauk cia aku tok?bday dh dekat dh..

What does it takes to be.....

A superstar?An engineer?A teacher?A prime minister?

Remember when we were in primary school, our teacher always asked us what we are going to be when we're grow up?I remember telling my teacher that i want to be a scientist...eventhough i dont know and i even dont have any single ideas what scientist do...But i know it is a cool job...inventing and making cool things such as smoke screen (i always want to do this because my father was a smoker and i cant stand his smoke!).

But now, im far away of being a scientist. The closest job that i ever have to fit the scientist job was to become an engineer. But, nah...not so much of inventing things...what was i supposed to do was checking the drawing, checking the tender...site checking and supervision and a bit payment claim.

Then, i ever worked as a lecturer for diploma student. The job was great..and i like the environment. However i have to come back to my hometown to work as an engineer again..

Actually i was a bit regretful of my homecoming...When i became part of the company, all the qualified engineers resigned. Then, i have to report directly to the General Manager which the background is not an engineering.....This is the beginning of all the headaches. Undecisive, decision making based on hearsay and what he wants us to do..and the most stupid thing, he always think that engineer can do others cant do.(macam penyapu jak kmk org dipolah urang tua ya) and my new engineering friends keep on coming and they will resigned after servicing less than 1 year...2 years working without direction, finally, i quited.

Then, now, i am back at teaching profession. And i always wonder, what does it takes to be....somebody...
