EXIT 233 Jasin

Salam alaykum,

Hectic day as usual. I'm sure many are bored with my hectic epic. But, sorry guys, I would like to mark it here as a remembrance, as I might not be doing this again, In sha Allah.

It was Tuesday morning, 21st May 2013. Around 11am. I had just completed half of the ad hoc task that was assigned to me earlier that morning  when the phone rang. I saw the number, the call came from the dean's office.

"Assalamualaikum, Dr kat mana?", the question came from Puan Zahrah, Dean's PA.
"Kat pejabat", was my short answer anticipating another ad hoc task.
"Minta maaf Dr, Dekan minta Dr hadir meeting kat Jasin petang ni.",  Puan Zahrah explained the intention.

I was puzzled. What? Meeting? In JASIN????? I wouldn't mind if the meeting is at the Chancellory's office or a bit further in Puncak Alam. But ..... this is JASIN. 2 states away from where I am now. Am I hearing correctly?

"Kenderaan ada tak?", I asked Puan Zahrah.
"Kenderaan tak ada. Guna kenderaan sendiri. Nanti boleh claim", was the replied.

What? No transportation? I was expected to drive all the way to Jasin by myself? No kidding? My husband would laugh at me .... I resent driving! What more a long distance drive as this. My thought was to get someone come with me. I called my boss, Dr Nurazzah, she could not come. I called En Yunus, he wouldn't come. I get Dr Nash, he wouldn't come either. I gave up. I sent a text message to the Dean apologising for not being able to go. And the reply was,

"I guess you should have representative from multimedia so that any questions can be answered."

It left me with little option. Alhamdulillah, it was like a saviour was sent to me by Allah SWT, a colleague, Sharifah Aliman agreed to drive me all the way to Jasin. At approximately 1145am, we were on our way to Jasin. We stopped at the Ayer Keroh rest area for lunch and solat and reached Jasin exactly at 230pm. There's nothing much to do during the meeting, but I learnt something from the meeting, THERE'S STILL HOPE for the Multimedia Program to put a request for new lab equipment. I quickly strategised for a meeting the next day.

UiTM Jasin PFI
After a short tour around the new Jasin campus, we headed back to Shah Alam and reached Shah Alam at about 1845pm after about 2 hours drive.

I returned home feeling very exhausted even though I was not the one who is driving. Ah.... What a day!!!!

There goes all my plan for the day.

Well, we plan, but Allah the better planner. And He knows best.



Wallahua'lam.

Asrama K.Ngah at MITST Alam Impian

Assalamualaikum. Asrama? Biasalah. Ramai yang pergi asrama. Nothing exciting about asrama. When I was a child, I used to read the story books. Series of them. We have the Famous Five, Secret Seven, Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, and one of my favorite is the Malory Towers. Malory Towers tells a story about life in a boarding school. It is also a reason for me wanted to go to a hostel. It motivates me. I always thought that all hostels are as envisioned by the writer. Luxury place to stay with lots of friends around. Full of activities and adventure. But...well.... story books are mostly fictitious. It was written to draw readers into purchasing it. My hostel was far worst that what I imagined. But there is where I grew up - my teenage life. Sending K.Ngah aka. Sabrina to her hostel last Sunday, brought back the Malory Towers into me. The dorm was luxurios. Single bedded. Six in a room. Large closet. Plenty of storage space (drawers attached to the bottom of the bed). And a study

Antara Anyer dan Jakarta

"Antara Anyer dan Jakarta" was a title of a song sang by Sheila Majid back in 80s. I tried to find the meaning of "Anyer" using the Google translate but to no avail. What about the song? Nothing. It's just because I just came back from Jakarta for a conference trip cum SHOPPING trip. I was accompanied by Suzana Ahmad and Norizan. Day 1: ====== Our journey began on 12th December. At approximately 5am, the driver reached my house. Izan is already there, in a short while Suzana arrived. We headed to KLIA. The check-in was a winding queue. After checking-in it leaves us with barely enough time for fajr prayer. At 9am, the tree stooges sat foot on the Indonesia land. We make a quick visit to the money changer and proceed for a cab. We have planned for the trip carefully and agreed to travel light as we will not be checking-in to the hotel upon arrival as the checking in time is only at 3pm. Instead, we headed towards our first destination, TANAH ABANG. It is r

Doa ketika ternampak orang sakit dan mohon terhindar darinya.

Assalamualaikum, Ahad malam Isnin. Malam yang sedih sayu. Biasanya hari Ahad, adalah hari ziarah anak-anak atau hari menghantar anak-anak balik ke asrama. Upon doing that, when entering the home, I can feel the emptiness. The quiet house, no greetings, no laughters. And due to that, I will make my way to the surau, to gather bits of pearl of knowledge. "O Allah, forgive me if the reason for my being in Your masjid is wrong Forgive me, Ya Allah. But truthfully, its too quiet at home, and to me, being in the masjid is more meaningful rather than locked in the empty house alone. Forgive me Ya Allah." And tonight, it was Ustaz Firdaus. Sharing on Feqah. And one thing that I really think fruitful to share is this piece of doa.  ‘Alhamdulillah hillazi aafani mim mabtalaka bihi wa fadhalaani ala kaseerim mimman khalaqa tafdheela.” The Prophet said: “If somebody recites this dua while he saw someone else in some fatigue or tensions, he would not be involved in t
