October Stories

Salam semua,
Oktober thn ni mmg sgt bz for me..... di samping menyambung raya, ada satu lagi ujian yg harus ku tempuh sblm blh bergelar 'Dr2'....Viva voce....


VIVA VOCE


As I've promised to few of my buddies, so here is the story and maybe few tips for you.

So, as expected, GSO called me on 2nd Oct informing my viva will be on 14th Oct. 09, 2.00pm....Fuh, I can feel my adrenaline started to rise....and the heart is pumping nearly burst I guess.... And within that 2 weeks, mulalah jadi mcm org tgh asyik masyuk bercinta....makan x kenyang, tido x lena....


So, I started to make some revisions, and try to read back my thesis, tried to remember and prepare the answer of each important and significants findings I've encountered. I must also make sure I knew the answers especially to the basic2 qtns...And me and Sv also tried to 'spot' few qtns that the examiner might ask. Going thru the most important and related journals....



Not forgetting, I also need to prepare the slides presentation...Thanks God, I actually had prepared it few months back cause I've presented that during my Postgrad seminar where I should present my progress. So, all I need to do is to update, make some editting and rehearse...


The time given is 20 minutes, and I've timed mine is about 25 minutes for 59 slides....



14th Oct. 09.....


It's the day..... the last obstacles....so, I'm ready for it.....


1.40pm: I've arrived at the GSO, and the viva room still closed. So, just waiting till the y open it up, and I set my presentations. The wise Mr Chairman was the 1st to arrive, and he made my feels a bit relax....then my Sv....

2.25pm: all the examiners arrived, and they need to discuss for a while....

2.35pm: I've started my presentation, and I've finished it at 3pm...just as I expected. Alhamdulillah, walaupun dgn sdkt gugup....


3pm: Q&A starts with the examiner, strating with this Prof. I'm so nervous at this time as I saw he marked almost the whole of my thesis....habislah aku hari ni (bisik dlm hati).... rupa2nya, yg dia marked tu just the minor ones e.g grammar mistakes....



Only few qtns he asked to clarify the statements....and then he passed to the next examiner.... rupa2nya both of them have the same opinions, so it cut short the exam process lah...Alhamdulillah kataku....



So, after answer few qtns, take notes of their comments, and they have satisfied, they asked me to wait outside since they had to make the decision....I went out with my Sv, and glad that I made my Sv happy, after he waited so long for me to accomplish this....



4pm: They invited us back in, and CONGRATULATIONS DR INTAN..... you've passed your PhD with Minor corrections.....waktu tu rasa airmata ni dah bergenang, sib baik blh tahan.... Alhamdulillah x putus2 dari mulutku ini.....and of course I thanked them for it...



Hehe, siap sempat asked them to pose in the viva room..... so these are the handsome yet kind and judicious people .....


(From left: Dr Zuki (SV), Dr Azhar (Examiner II), Prof Ariff (Chairman) and Prof Ali (Examiner I)).
(Me yg tersgt happy......) Irony nya, all my Sv including my examiners are Men......

Well, itulah citernya, to those adik2 yg msh berjuang, my sincere tips are:

1. Usaha bersungguh2, make preparations, read up
2. Berdoa, bykkan solat hajat, minta dipermudahkan, Insyaallah semuanya ok.
3. Tawakal.
4. My motto: JUST DO IT! I'LL DO MY BEST, GOD WILL DO THE REST.....

Don't worry too much, cause it's in your hands, and you are the best person and know every single thing about your research....so, prove it!


09 Oct. 09 - Aidiel' 7th Birthday

Dah besar anak Ibu..... Ibu doakan Along akan jadi anak yg Soleh, dan berjaya dlm apa jua yg Along lakukan, amin.... this year I ordered better cake for him, Choc Indulgence from Secret Recipe....with Ben 10 edible image on it.

We celebrated it in MIL's house, where she ordered satay for us.....


18 Oct 09- Beraya and baraan ngan Geng2 SEMESTI...


Mmg best baraan kami, dari Sg Buloh sampailah ke Bkt Mahkota, dari kul 10.30am till 11.00 pm... Gmbr lain blh tgk kat my FB...malas dah nk upload...


Nilah geng2 baraanku.... heh..semua maintain lagi....

Begitulah kisah Oktober ku.....cerita ni bukan utk menunjuk atau membangga diri, hanya utk kenangan dan panduan utk anak2ku dan utk sahabat handai yg akan melalui proses yg sama....

Di kesempatan ini ingin sekali ku panjat kesyukuran atas kurniaan Nya, dan juga terima kasih pada semua Sv2 ku yg byk membantu dlm study ku ini tak lupa pada staf2 yg byk membantu esp my buddy Mai, En Raziman n En Ariff dan staf di EM lab, IBS....moga Allah membalas jasamu jua...last but not least, to all my family (esp to hubby, Moms and my 4AIs yg byk sacrificed for me) and friends....

Ramadhan Menjelang Lagi

Salam Semua,

Bagai tak terasa, setahun sudah berlalu dan kini Ramadhan bulan yg penuh keberkatan muncul lagi. Jadi, di kesempatan ini, ingin rasanya saya menyusun sepuluh jari, memohon ampun dan maaf sekiranya terdapat kesalahan dan kesilapan, serta terkasar bahasa kepada semua tidak kira secara disedari atau tidak.

Juga, diucapkan Selamat Menjalani Ibadah Puasa kepada semua, moga kita semua mendapat keberkatan di bln mulia ini. Marilah kita berebut2 utk beramal sebanyak mungkin.

Plan puasa tahun ni berbeza dgn tahun sblmnya, Hubby not always around, and Aidiel dah tak sabar2 nak posa. Maka sbg Ibu, kenalah bangun n make sure dia bersahur, supaya dia larat menyempurnakan puasanya. Apa nk dihidangkan ni entah...biasanya kena nego dulu ngan Baby Temal nih....

Esok kami sekeluarga nak balik Ipoh...maknanya first day berbuka puasa dgn Mak...yeayyy...sure dpt berbuka ngan kuih2 tradisional air tangan Mak, in which my Mom is expert in....

Next week cuti sekolah, tapi x kemana2 since bln puasa, elok jugalah, dlm musim2 H1N1 ni...was-was juga nk ke public dgn kids...

Ok semua, Gud luck.....

Projek Pizza

Salam semua,

Dah lama dah nak try buat pizza sendiri, almaklumlah, bila rakyat dlm rumah dah ramai, dan mereka dah ada 'improved tastebuds'..... So, after doing some research on recipes I mean, I decided to make a "Sukahati Pizza"...hahaha...maknanya, cincai je...tp thanks a lot to Kak Aishah for giving me some tips, and for ordering the base for my pizza. (I don't want to take the risk to make my own dough since I don't hv a breadmaker yet n as usual nk cepatkan?)


So, last Friday (I took 1 off day to settle few things, n Hubby's not feeling well)for that day, I made Chicken n Mushroom pizza, and something like Pepperoni tp I used sausages sliced je...
ni lah gambarnya....
Ni masak toppingnya....
Minced chicken meat + mushroom

Campak2 the Mozzarella, n saja nk bg kuning sikit I mix with Cheddar cheese....
Ni dah siap waiting for the oven....

Close up before cook....
And taraa.......lupa plk nak amik gmbr piece of the pizza yg sdg ditarik....hehe


So, basically, ok lah rasanya, since my Son Aidiel love it, he finished 1 whole pizza himself....so I made extra, keep 'em frozen, so Aidiel can bring as his lunchbox to school....

Not only that, Praise to Almighty, actually I lost my Hp that Friday, but luckily someone found it and I got it back. Tak sangka masih ada insan jujur dlm dunia ni...To Ain from JPM Putrajaya, tqvm for your kindness, Allah yg dpt membalasnya.... so, Ain dpt merasa pizza that I've made as buahtangan...and that night she sms me told me that I can bukak kedai pizza.....hahaha....

So, kids, Mommy so proud that my mission is accomplished....hope you enjoyed the pizza....

Recent activities with the kids


Salam,
Dah lama x update blog....dah lama nak letak gmbr bdk2 ni, atas permintaan uncle n auntie dia...
Sbnrnya publish ni bukan nak tunjuk terer ajar anak2 ngaji.... actually, Aidiel dok request nak ngaji sbb mmg kami pun dah lama x revise muqaddam tu (have to tuition him for other subjects dulu), so, apalagi, askar yg lain pun nak join....
Atas tilam lagik tu, sbb masa tu dah nak masuk tido.... Tpkan in reality, depa tu dok kat situ tak sampai 10 minit....sorang2 dh chow, tinggallah along n Ibu....huhuhu....


Antara fav activities we all yg lain:...

1. Beriadah esp on weekends....




dah penat kayuh basikal, depa pow Ibu n Ayah beli aiskrim....hehe....so, makan aiskrim adalah satu aktiviti fav jugak.... tak caya tgk kat bwh ni....



2. Merayap

We all pantang ada special occasion ke, kalau xde aral, Insyaallah we all gi punya....Ni yg masa Hot Air ballon show kat Putrajaya...mmg lawa scenery nya....


3. Jalan2 carik makan

Tp xde gmbrlah.... (hehehe...malu nk tunjuk....)


4. Watching Movie

Ha, ni aktiviti baru jugaklah...sbb bila bdk2 ni dah besar sikit baru sesuai...tp Oshin belum msk list lg...kesian dia....xpe Dik, nanti your time will come ok?

So, gmbr terbaru masa gi tgk Transformerslah....looking forward for Iced age plak......

Hmm...gitulah citernya...last Sunday, anak2ku itu ber'camping' dlm pagar....siap ada cita2 nak tido dlm khemah depa...iyolah tu...panas gila....x sempat nk amik gmbrlah....
So, kengkawan yg ada ramai anak, tahulah camna kan...have to keep them bz and occupied, so that kurang sikit merengeknya....cuma, bergantung pd masa, keadaan, rezeki dan yg utama dengan izin Allah....
P/S:Anak2ku....Ibu n Ayah harap, all of you have fun....zaman kanak2 nilah yg nak bg depa enjoy betul2...

13th July 2009 - 2nd Birthday for Azzalea Irdina

Happy Birthday anakku Azzalea Irdina, ibu doakan anak ibu akan membesar dengan sihat, cerdas serta dalam perlindungan Allah selalu hendaknya. Semalam kami celebrate awal sehari sbb hari Isnin Ayah dah keluar bertugas (outstation) spt biasa. So, I upload gambar taken from Hp dulu ni....

Ni collection gambar Zalea dari waktu dilahirkan..... Kelakarnya ialah Azzalea ada byk nama panggilan...

1. Adik (panggilan manja oleh aku, abang, kakak dan bibiknya)

2. Yaya (panggilan oleh ayahnya)

3. Zalea (kalau formal2 sikit, haha)

4.Hoshin (dia bahasakan diri dia sendiri) asalnya Maklang panggil dia Oshin dek sbb gen Jepun yg melekat dan shown by her physical compared to her other siblings....skrg ni ayat fav. dia kalau nak sesuatu..."Hoshin nak ni....." sweet je kan?

Ni belum sempat nak senyum dah snap gambar....


Ni gambar terbaru juga, masa nak kuar gi majlis wedding Sabtu baru ni....


Dan she's so happy dapat makan Lollipop...mmg her favorite pun....
