...Coretan 1st 2011...

Assalamualaikum & hye everybody!!!

Kpd yg tlh lama m'intai tirai blog sy, pasti dh lama t'nanti2 new entry,kn...(statement perasan)

1st of all, ini adalah coretan sy yg 1st utk 2011...

Dlm 1bln yg tlh b'lalu, byk juga perkara & hal2 yg telah sy lalui...

Yg pasti, ke'busy'an yg t'lampau sudah pasti pnyebab sy tak b'kunjung ke cni...

Rasa mcm nk cite sume tp tak b'daya...

If b'sembang pn bley mkn masa b'jam, inikan pula utk menari2kn jari-jemariku...

Gile semangat ini young lecturer...Jeles dgn korg ok!!!

B4 t'lupa, rasanya masih belum t'lewat utk sy ucapkn Salam Awal Muharram (Maal Hijrah 1432H) & Happy New Year 2011M kpd sume!!!Menyingkap bberapa p'istiwa (yg masih ada dlm memory) ada p'istiwa pahit & manis yg telah b'laku...M'ulas serba-sedikit mengenai rentetan p'jlnn 2010, byk suka-duka yg perlu sy tempuhi/lalui utk b'ada pd thp skrg...

Masih segar dlm ingatan sy p'istiwa pahit yg tak mungkin sy lupa mungkin seumur hidup...Sungguh itu dugaan semasa sy dlm proses menamatkn Master...B4 this dlm m'hadapi apa jua masalah, tak prnh t'lintas utk quit tp masa tuh rasa mcm dh tak mampu lagi nk meneruskn p'jlnn yg tinggal lagi 50%.Sy sama sekali tak prnh m'jangka akan diduga sebegitu...Apa pun, sy terima ketentuan itu dgn redha krn Allah telah memilih sy utk diuji dlm p'istiwa itu...Setiap ujian itu bkn "percuma" krn ada "ganjaran"nya...Dan natijahnya, sy score the highest GPA yg belum prnh sy cecah record sepjg dlm tempoh pengajian semasa undergrads!Ajaib,kn??

Utk p'istiwa manis plak, t'laksana beberapa agenda spt yg direncanakn dlm Azam 2010...Sbg contoh, sy b'jaya menamatkan pengajian Master b4 tamat tempoh yg ditetapkn...Siap b'isterirehat selama 2bln lagi...Dan di saat 2010 melabuhkn tirainya, sy telah memiliki 'liability' lbh awal drpd jgkaan/planing..Apa pun, syukur alhamdulillah!!!Di sini, sy m'curi sedikit ruang masa utk m'buat rumusan b'kaitan rentetan p'jlnn selama 1bln d alaf baru ini:

3 January = Report duty at Faculty of Business Management, UiTM Arau (manis)..Sy tak sangka rezeki pd hari itu, sy yg pd asalnya ditawarkn skim gaji yg lbh rendah telah dinaikkan kpd skim gred gaji yg lbh tinggi dlm sekelip mata...Rezeki New Year!(Alhamdulillah syukur pd Allah...Kpd kwn2 yg masih belum tuh, jgnlh jealous ye...Cpt2lh korg siapkn Project Paper korg...Ahax!~)

14 January = 1 of lecturer from our department, who was formerly my x-1st advisor while I'm doing my Project Paper 4 1st degree, Allahyarham Encik Ahmad Kamal Mohd Noh telah kembali ke rahmatullah...Semoga roh arwah dicucuri rahmat & ditempatkn dlm glgn org yg b'iman...Arwah sebaya dgn bonda sy, dlm lingkungan awal 50an. Masa beliau supervise sy, more or less bout 3years ago, beliau dh pun sakit2 pd waktu itu...Dan buat kali t'akhir, beliau attended 1st department meeting (2011) which was held on the 3rd January tp on the day sy tak sempat join the meeting since sy report duty on that day...

Apabila dikhabarkn yg beliau hospitalized dan ditempatkn di High Dependency Ward (if tak silap sy, 'up' drpd ICU), sy & rkn2 sejawatan b'gegas melawat arwah pd 10 January...Keadaan beliau ketika itu adalah 'koma' & diberikan ubat tido...Menurut isteri arwah, beliau sudah tak lalu mkn hampir 3wiks...Kata sahabat beliau: "Rupa2nya arwah attended meeting on that day dgn b'kerusi roda adalah utk m'ucapkn selamat tinggal kpd kita sume"...So sad!Apa pun, yg pergi tetap dan telah pn pergi..Kita yg hidup ini perlu meneruskn p'jlnn kita...Yg pasti, suatu hari kelak, kita juga akan m'ikut jejak langkah mereka!Al-Fatihah~

Dlm p'aturan staff UiTM, kami WAJIB m'hadirkn diri dlm 3 sesi p'jumpaan bulanan iaitu:

1) Academic Meeting (Meeting wif all lecturers in UiTM from all faculties - for academic staff only)

2) Staff Assembly (All staff, both academic & admin)

3) Department Meeting (Meeting wif all lecturers from within the same department/faculty)

16 January = Pindah masuk ke umah 1 of my colleague...Thanx 2 Wani 4 inviting me 2 stay wif u 4 the mean time I'm seeking another house 2 b rent =) Sian sy,kn...Selama 2wiks menyewa dgn students...2 b frank, act, it is unethical 4 a lecturer 2 stay under 1 roof wif students...It is not about humanitarian aspect but it is more on professionalism which deals wif a lot of P&C matters...

Ada juga lain2 hal yg telah b'laku spjg p'libatan sy dlm academic profession ini, namun ia tak dpt dikongsikn dgn umum atas sbb2 internal matters + P&C...Agak2 nk meluahkn perasaan psl anything yg b'kaitan dgn academic/UiTM, baik system mahupun xtvt2nya, Dalili & Nashril la mangsa sy...Hahahaha!~Best ada kwn2 dr lain2 campus, at lis bley b'tkr2 info & sharing story =)

Budak2 pulunnn!!!

Insya'Allah utk next session, akan ada lbh byk lagi cerita menarik, lbh2 lagi mengenai subjects yg sy ajar, colleagues & b'hdpn dgn kerenah students...^__^.Anyway, byk juga p'ubahan dlm campus ni...Biasa la bile dh b'tahun tinggal dan sesekali dtg, pasti ada p'ubahan t'tentu...Tak sempat plak sy nk snap pic..Jgn marah ok!

Last but not least, apa yg bley sy katakan, being a UiTM Lecturer is not as easy as wat most people think...It's quite challenging 4 us...1st of all, 2 join the academic club, u should really admire & passionate wif this job...If u just simply choose this career becoz of hoping 4 a higher pay, u r making a wrong decision in ur path...Yeah; u might receive a higher pay but u should remember that "high pay comes wif high responsibility". 

Tidak t'henti setakat itu, UiTM Lecturer is not merely teaching/lecturing or consultation wif students...But there r a lot of other tasks that need 2 b done!!Bak kata my senior lecturers, "dh terjun dlm bidang ni, jgn nk menyesai!!!"Huhu~Then I know, y the academic qualification is being emphasized in this tertiary education because not everybody can p4m this job n comply 2 the standards...1 more thing, u r the 1 who control ur path...In other word, u nid 2 balance ur stress level because it involves wif high stress level. So, it is no longer practical 2 say that "keje gomen tak stress"!!!

1st month sy stay kt cni, almost everyday sy pulang lewat mlm lantaran menyiapkn tugasan/preparation yg plbagai...Mana taknya, masuk keje pun lmbt...Pehtu dgn nk kejar silibus...Takkan sy nk msuk class without any preparation n just say 2 students "Sorry students, sy tak sempat la nk siapkn slide/preparation utk class arini"...B4 this masa jd student, bley gk la nk delay2 if tak larat buat arini, continue esok dan seterusnya but now, cannot do that!!So, by hook or by crook, when the times come, I must complete it..In short, dok jd keje last minute je la baru pecut...

Masih terasa spt di awang2n tak percaya dh naik level from student --> academician...Huhu!~

Boleh bygkn, proposal nk kena submit b4 3pm, tp sy tghari tuh baru terangkak2 edit sana cni, naik turun b'kejar ke sana ke mari, minta sign senior lecturers dll...Pehtu ada foreign university came 4 a visit pd tghari, pg tuh baru gi uruskn pasal tentative programme book...Perghhh!~Kira b'silat saja!!Ni pun masih byk tugas yg menanti...Kira tak sempat lagi la setakat ni, nk rasa mcm "takde keje"...Mana taknya, dh buat planing baik2 tp akan ada2 je prkra yg dtg memintas d tgh2...Tiba2 je dpt phone calls dr senior lecturers request handle itu ini...So, no choice but nid 2 accept it!I always remind myself 2 "expect the unexpected"!!!
