Kerenah Kanak-Kanak Unta di Minggu Mid-Term Exam

Dah lama sangat x citer pasal kanak2 unta kat sini kan? Bukannya x de citer tapi tak berkesempatan nak berblogging dua tiga menjak ni. Seriously banyak citer2, ada yang bleh tercabut gigi palsu, ada yang menaikkan darah dan ada jugak yang bleh membuatkan kita rasa heran dan anda akan berkata .... APAKAH?????

Kita citer satu persatu okey. Tak tahu laa nak mula kat mana ni... Citer2 ni berkisarkan last week masa buat Mid-Term Exam. This semester I lecture 5 groups with diff. majors tapi same subject which is Intercultural Comm. Dlm byk2 subject, this subject is consider the most interesting subject sb banyak laa example2 dan citer yang I suka kongsi kat students. Then diaorg ni mula laa telopong jerr dengar...

So because of 5 groups, bila nak buat exam, nak combine semua skali dalam satu masa amat laa sukar skali. Why? Coz these students got diff. hours and diff. major and diff. timetable. Then satu lagi, tak nak laa menyusahkan lecturers lain utk jaga my exam. So what I did was, I buat mid-term exam masa 2 hours in their classes. Senang abis citer. Yang susah skit nyer I laaa.. I need to make 5 diff. question papers.

Buat pengetahuan anda diluar sana, kanak2 unta kat sini punyer culture adalah bawak "toyol" semasa exam. Biasa laa kanak2 unta lelaki laa slalu buat hal. Kat Msia pun ada jgk tp x seteruk kat sini. Kat sini bila dah kena tangkap bawak "toyol" tu bukannya diaorg ni segan, lagi laa nak cakap heboh kat semua kawan2 diaorg. Konon-kononnya proud laa tu kena tangkap. Then dtg lagi jumpa lecturers mintak maaf then minta nak repeat paper lagi. Kat Msia ader??

Okey, so one week before exam as lecturer yg budiman... I bagi laa area2 utk study sb 7 Chapters yang akan masuk. Not only area, ader laa jgk betul2 soalan. Tapi majority kanak2 unta kat sini x dpt nak menangkap. Kat Msia ader lecturer nak bagi tips betul2 sejibik2 soalan yg akan kluar?? Jangan harap laa kan..

Back to the subject..  Ni laa kerenah kanak2 unta di musim mid term exam:

• First day of the mid-term exam : one of the boys x bwk pen nak buat mid-term. Bleh? Datang exam berlenggang lenggok tanpa pen and other stationary?. Then I bagi pinjam pen. Abis exam bila mintak balik pen I, dia baling jer. Apakah? Dimanakah manner nyer? Ohh amat laa nak pengsan lepas tu.. tak ku sangka dibuatnya ku seperti itu. An hour after mid-term, he came to my room and apologized. Still ku ingat sampai skrg!! Reasonnya: dia pun x tahu naper dia buat cam tu. BLEH??

•  Tangkap one boy duk meniru. Notes kat dlm jubah putih.. kertas putih. Jangan nak mengaburi mata ku yg belum kabur ni. Bila nak ambik notes tu terus di twistkan my fingers. Bleh? I mengelak.. and walked away. Dlm ati, abis laa engkau ... terus2 dpt BIG 0.

•  One of the ladies called me, ingatkan nak tanya soalan x paham ker apa? All the sudden nangis sb x bleh nak jawab one of the questions given. Ya Rabbi!!.. Tolong laa korang!!!!

• In other class with other group of students, one of the boy kena tangkap meniru gak. Bila suruh bagi notes siap angkat kedua tangan ckp " Waallahi Miss, I didnt cheat". Tapi malangnya kat 2 tapak tangan penuh dgn notes. Rasa nak ku lempang jerr kuat2.

• Two of the boys ni, kawan baik laa dua orang ni mmg slalu ditangkap meniru, so apa lagi I duk tunggu laa diaorg masuk class for their mid-term. Sorang duk belakang and sorang duk betul2 depan wall. Once start the exam, I ternampak kat wall depan dia tu tulis 4-5 definition of the words. Wooo... semuanya ada kat dlm exam tu.. Yang sorang lagi plak, rilex jer, bila dah pegi dekat... mmmm.. rupanya kat meja penuh dgn dua chapters yang kluar dlm exam. Apakah korang!!!!

•  Sorang budak laki ni plak mintak 10 min extra before mula exam sb nak baca. I bagi laa peluang utk baca lagi kan. (punya laa baik, tak penah ku buat benda cam ni kat Msia). Bila dah start exam, dak sampai 5 minutes terus hantar kertas then kluar. Just tulis nama jer? Ya Rabbi lagi... mengucap panjang I tau. Sbbnya semua soalan dah bagi... still x bleh nak jwb.

• Ni lagi sorang kanak2 unta lelaki laa selalu byk buat hal. Duk dlm exam for almost 1 hour, exam was 2 hours. Then datang kat I cakap nak repeat exam sb x bleh nak jawab. Alasannya, last week dia tak sempat nak baca sb kakak dia kawin. Wahhh.. mengalahkan dia plak yg kawin. Padahal dah bagi semua material nak kena study for last 3 week ago. 

Banyak laa lagi karenah2 kanak2 unta ni yang membuatkan I ilang kawalan dan darah ni asyik tahap maximum jer slalu. Yang kat atas ni during mid-term exam. Jom kita tgk after bagi markah plak yer tuan2 dan puan2 skalian:

• "Miss, I want to repeat the exam. You give me very bad mark". ( I plak yg dipersalahkan, bukannya dia nak salahkan diri dia). 

•  " I answered everything but you are so bakhil!!" ( dah biasa laa student panggil I cam tu sb suka minus mark)

•  " The exam was so easy Miss but I was so bz, I got no time to study, please Miss I need to repeat the exam"

• " Miss, please help me Miss... Last semester my result was very bad and my CGPA was so low, if you didnt help me I will be out of the college next semester" 

• " I told you I cannot attend the exam but you said if I didnt come you will give me 0, so I come and I cannot answer the question. Give me chance to do it again Miss".

 

See.. ni diantaranya bukannya semua lagi ni. Dah tak larat dah nak type byk2. Cam mano nak handle ni haaa? Cubo cakap???

 

Semua kat atas ni adalah benda2 yang biasa laa berlaku kat sini. Tu laa kesabaran amat diperlukan sangat bila mengajar kanak2 unta ni. Duk bebel2, bising2 x jadi. Diaorng ni kena dipujuk, dicakap baik2 baru laaa nak dengar. Tu pun ada jugak yang cakap berpuluh2 kali pun x paham2 jugak. Sabar... Sabar Miss Nur weeiiii. 

Unbelievable right? Tapi itu laa reality yang I dgn kawan2 yang lain alami. Serik? Tak tahan? Itu semua tak timbul dah sb dah lali dah dgn attitude diaorg ni. Lagipun dah 2 thn lebih kat sini dah faham benar dah dgn culture diaorg ni. Bebel tetap bebel, marah tetap marah but of course ada limitnya. Tanpa kawan2 I and I kat sini, diaorg nii tak dapat capai pada tahap sekarang ni. 

Alhamdulillah, from the first year I taught them till now diaorg ni ada yang dah 2 yrs and ada plak yg final yr, dah nampak banyak perubahan. Tak semua yg attitude cam yg I citer kat atas ni. Yang bagus tu ada laa jugak, x dinafikan.

Bila nampak diaorang ni berubah from semester to another semester, I will be the most happiest person. What huge responsibilities that I have here in order to make sure these people be a better person. 

May Alllah bless me with this huge work.... Ameeen... 

Its Raining In SuR

Dah berapa lama dah Sur tak hujan, I guess its been a year kot. Last time ujan I was not at home. Dengar2 orang cakap.

Well, of course la kat sini susah sangat nak ujan compared to Msia kan? Bila ujan turun jerr sesuatu benda yang baru dan pelik. Lain laa kat negara kita, bila petang jer ujan memanjang.

Last weekend early in the morning went out to the capital. On my way, dah ujan dah skit2, suker sangat. Tetiber jer jadi jakun cam orang kat sini. Nampak langit mendung but doesnt mean ujan kan, tetambah kat sini plak.

Yesterday I read newspaper, Muscat the capital was flooded. Ohh ya ker? Terkezut tau.. never ever okey. Then when I went back home, cam mendung. Adakah akan ujan? Mungkin tidak kot.. tp langit gelap.

After my Maghrib prayer, duk rilex2 sesambil tgk tgk all the sudden x de electric. Wahh.. apakah ini!! Terkejut lagi skali and tetiba jer dengar macam bunyi ujan. Terus berlari ke kitchen and ujan turun. Lebat sangat siap dgn ada kilat lagi. Wahhhh... terperanjat, pick up my phone terus call my friend. Sungguh laa excited skali ujan turun. You all tak paham tau, excited sbb kat sini jarang sangat2 ujan. And bila ujan begini lebat, I rasa terpegun.

At the same time, bersyukur sangat sbb ujan pembawa rahmat.

Trend kat sini especially kanak2 unta, bila ujan turun jer for sure x bleh pegi class. Yelah, x bleh nak salahkan diaorg jugak sb certain2 part wadi dah mula naik air. Mana ader longkang2, parit2 kat sini. Ujan jer for sure banjir.

The view from my kitchen after fajar. Ada matahari but still mendung

Love to see the view of the sky.


Lopak air kat tepi rumah


Right near the sea


Half an hour later, its cloudy

SubhanaAllah, cantik sungguh awan2 di langit

Next to my house

Wah.. terkejut. Banjir!!! Ni masa nak kluar pegi keje this morning.

Air naik!! Tak de laa dalam sangat but still kan?

Tetiba jerr jem kan depan rumah. Bleh?

Suker...suker jem lagi on my way pegi college. Tak penah2, for sure kat depan tu banjir

Tengok tu, dah ader orang sidai carpet

Good weather

Tinggi jugak paras air ni, demi kanak2 unta ku redah jua dgn City. Maklum laa x de 4W kan?

Dashyat tu, dgn salon car pun bleh redah. Blom lagi pakai 4W. Lasak betul City dapat meredah

Alhamdulillah, akhirnya sampai jgk kat college

I didnt expect many students come this morning even today they have presentation. Like I said earlier, ujan turun mula laa diaorang x datang class kan?

Tapi sangkaanku amat laa salah. Ada students datang, of course laa not full class. Tu laa semangat ni lecturer datang meredah banjir, students pun lagi semangat nak buat presentation. Alhamdulillah... at least some of them have good attitude.

Confession from a student. Student?

Mmmm... look at the tittle, confession? Ssssshhhhhh.... come closer bebeh. Rahsia dibongkarkan!!! Jeng.. Jeng.. Jeng...

Its nearly 2 yrs Im lecturing here. In the end of december, genap laa 2 thn duk kat sini. Time goes so fast. Rasa mcm dah bertahun2 lamanya. Seriously, I feel Im here more than 5 years.

Since Im here, kanak2 unta ni suka dtg berkongsi pendapat, idea dan tak kurang mencurahkan perasaan. Of course not into me ( ada.. bab ni kita sambung ckp in the next post) but they did confessed some of their feeling towards ladies/men. Surprisingly right? With their conservative culture, susah diaorg ni nak luahkan perasaan towards each other. Nak cakap laki pompuan pun jarang, tgk face to face pun x bleh, apa tah lagi nak cakap and confess to each other.

So Ms Nur laa pilihan diaorg... Ms Nur laa jadi org tgh.. Ms Nur laa jd pos lady. Ms Nur laaa jg org perantaraan. With FOC. Bleh??

I do not have any exact answer why they choose me. I think, most probably these are the reasons:

1. Ms Nur dianggap muda ( muda ker?) compare lecturer2 lain kat college ni. Most of them dah berumur laa. Kononnya i ni lebih kurang kakak2 mereka laa. Thanks to my height!! At least they think Im still young!! I am still ppl.. not yet 30 okey!!
2. Ms Nur suker gelak2... kononnya x penah serious. Ambik kau skali mengamuk, terus kluar class x mengajar. Baru nak merayu " sorry Ms..soryy Ms"
   
3. Ms Nur nampak bleh dipercayai... bleh ker? ( of course laa, will keep the secret of the ppl sbb dia pun mmg secretive type of lady.... shhhh)
4. Ms Nur memahami masalah2 remaja ni especially bab2 cintan ( ya ker?) suka ati korang jer kan? Mentang2 laaa I ajar interpersonal comm & intercultural comm. - masalah cinta dia pun x abis chapter lagi ****** ( wink..wink..wink)
   

So this semester start August lepas, dah 5..6 org dah datang berubat. Ader yg berabaya dan ada yg berdishasha. Disebabkan diaorg ni pakai abaya for ladies and dishasha for mens, so I suka laa panggil diaorg dgn nama ni. Tu trend Ms Nur kat dlm class okey!!

The latest confession was this afternoon. Tak senang I nak buat keje masa x de class. Tapi bila free ajer bleh buat confession okey.. bila I bz sgt2.. sorry ladies and gentlemen, next session plz.

One of the dishasha, dtg malu2 segan silu ckp laa pasal dia minat sgt kat abaya ni. Abaya ni satu class dgn dia. Sopan dan santun, ayu dan jelita skali. Dishdasha ni kiranya one of my good student, x kisah laa kan sbb bdk ni rajin and pandai skit so kiranya x pe laa nak minat2 kat Abaya. Bleh? Bagus punya lecturer. So I layan laa dia duk citer.. x bleh tido laa, asyik duk ingat Abaya ni laa.. cam mana nak buat laa.. Perlu dia ckp ker? dia duk pening berserabut takut Abaya ni dah ada tunang laa.. Macam2 laaa

Lepas session mendengar, I pun kononnya bagi laa advise. Chewahh... bagusnya lecturer ni. Kononnya banyak sgt pengalaman bercinta. Ye laa tu... then dia pun puas hati, dah berjanji akan mendengar segala nasihat I. Wahh... bagusnya budak ni kan?

Actually, I kesian kan budak2 ni tau. Tak de tempat diaorg nak luahkan. Kalau ckp kat kwn2 dia, for sure satu kampung akan tahu. Tu yg ckp kat Ms Nur. Ms Nur nak ckp kat siapa kan?

Well, part yg paling I suka skali. Bila diaorg ni dah buat confession. I jadikan example kat dlm class. Of course laa nama dirahsiakan. Siapa yg makan cili, dia laa yg terasa pedas kan? Kejam ker Ms Nur? Tak laa... so yg lain bleh ambik iktibar...

Confess, confess jgk.. ambik kau ader yg terconfess kat Ms Nur.. aaaa.. ni citer lagi gempak. Nanti laaa I ada masa I update dgn citer2 lain yg lagi hebat!! X sabar laa tu... Sabar laaaa. I lagi laa byk bersabar ni dgn kerenah2 kanak2 unta kat sini.. lagi laa sabar dgn internet connection kat sini and super duber slow...

Okes... Will catch you later babes!!

Imagine...,

If you are a lecturer, try to imagine this: ( ni udah di translate ke bahasa jiwa bangsa)


Situasi 1

Pelajar: Puan, sy nak markah mid-term saya.

Pensyarah: Naper? Saya belum siap marking lg.

Pelajar: Naper? Puan malas yer? Teruk laa Puan ni...

Pensyarah: Durhaka punya pelajar!!!!


Situasi 2

Pelajar: Puan, bleh sy tahu brapa kali sy dah tak dtg class?

Pesnyarah: Mmmm... kenapa? ( dlm ati- adakah studentsku, jarang jer nampak budak ni?)

Pelajar: Mungkin ptg ni saya tak pegi class puan kot.

Pensyarah: kenapa?

Pelajar: Saya dah lama tak balik kampung. Sy rindukan keluarga sy.

Pesnyarah: &(^$$##^*_&%#@#$%


Situasi 3

Pelajar: Pagi Puan, Puan sihat?

Pensyarah: Pagi, Alhamdulillah sy sihat. Awak sihat?

Pelajar: Sy x brapa sihat. Saya pening sb ada banyak masalah. Puan... assignment sy belum antar lagi sb sy banyak masalah ni.

Pensyarah: Baik punye alasan!!!


Situasi 4

Pensyarah: Awak nampak lain ari ni.. mmmmm

Pelajar: Naper Puan? Ari minggu, sy pegi potong rambut. Okey ker Puan?

Pensyarah: Ok, nampak lagi handsome.

Pelajar: Ya ker Puan? Puan suka? Malu laaa saya

Pensyarah: Suka kau laa labu...


Situasi 5

Pelajar: Puan, ni assignment sy. Sy tahu dah lewat sehari ni, tp saya dah siap lama dah cuma saya sajer jerr hantar lambat.

Pensyarah: Tak pe.. tak pe.. jgn risau yer. Sehari lewat, 2 markah sy potong.

Pelajar: Puan ni, kenapa kedekut sangat. Kita kan Muslim, kena laa tolong menolong.

Pensyarah: Sukerrrrrrrr kau jerr yerr!!!



Semua situasi diatas adalah kisah benar. Tiada sedikit pun rekaan... cuma bahasanya sahaja di translate ke bahasa jiwa bangsa. Semua situasi ni dah ditranslate sbbnya lebih ummmph bila dibaca. Setiap kali siatuasi ni berlaku, saya bersama2 rakan sebilik akan melakonkan semula gelagat2 pelajar2 ni ke bahasa jiwa bangsa. Then bersama2 kitaorg gelak sbb memang pelajar kita kat Msia x akan buat semua ni. Tu laaa... mana nak dpt experience yg luar biasa ni kan. Engkau ado?

Terkejut? mmmm... itu laa kanak2 unta kat sini.

Tak pasal2, jiwa dan hati yg tenang bleh dpt heart attack!!! Mintak jauh...

Dalam duk sakit jiwa melayan macam2 kerenah kanak2 unta ni, still I remembered words from one of my ex-colleague. He said, " Diaorg tu innocent, they do not know what are they saying. They are honest people and they are also our entertainment. Without us, they are no where"

He's right!!! Patient Ms Nur.. be patient. Insyaallah, berkat kesabaran dan ilmu yg dicurahkan kepada kanak2 unta ni dimanfaatkan utk masa depan diaorg. Amin...


Status: Bz yg teramat!! Need to check the assignment; 7 groups of students ( blom start dah rasa penat, pening yg teramat)

One Week Before Eid

Apa yg tak dijangka, hari ni iaitu ari Sabtu, kanak2 unta sudah x datang class.

Bayangkan, ari ni diaorang dah start x de class. If on tuesday or wednesday tu kira bleh ditrima lagi, ni Saturday. Apa nak jd dgn korang ni wahai anak2 untaku?

Pepagi ni ada class at 8.00 am. Hanya 4 orang jer yg datang, tu pun just to write their name. Bagus.. amat la bagus skali!!!

Then class at 11.00 am. Lagi bagus sbb hanya seorang jer duk tunggu nak tulis nama for the attendance.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh... tidak kanak2 unta are killing me. Cuba laa cakap awal2 x nak datang. At least lecturer pun bleh book tiket balik Msia and cabut awal2.

Ikutkan nak tukar tarikh balik, a day earlier fr the original date but still havent confirm. Masalah betul... part student dah ok, part tiket plak yg x ok. Dugaan... dugaan...

Cuba laa kat Msia, bleh buat cam ni? Sesuka ati jer ambik holiday for a week before raya?

Tadi ada laa 5..6 orang students datang kat bilik

" Miss, we cannot come today to your class, we want to go back to the village"

" Miss, Eid Mubarak.. see u after Eid. No absent plz Miss"

" Miss, sorry cannot come to the class this week. We are very bz preparing for our Eid".

Poning.. poning!! Really poning!!!

Akhir kata, suka ati korang laa. Suruh datang pun korang declare holiday sdiri.

P/s: Praying hard for the ticket , so that can go back home early.

NeW SeMeSTeR

After i did my summer semester here, felt so exhausted!! With the heat and ofo course the attitude of kanak2 unta during the summer course. Alhamdulillah, got at least 2 weeks to go back to Msia. Such a short time... one week got sick (fever, cough, flu and NOT influenza) and one week to go out for eating out, shopping, dating, etc

New semester began on the 1st Ramadhan. As expected, in the first week kanak2 unta came to the college only to register their new subjects and not to the class. But for us, lecturers need to go to the class for 15 min and if no students then we can leave the class.

As always, lecturer yg slalu berkobar2 nak pegi class. Di malam hari, dah bz iron baju and study preparing for the lectures. Tp for 1 and 2 week, jgn harap laa ada students datang.

Till now, the 3rd week of semester yg datang x sampai 1/2 of the class. Its really not worth it!! Tunggu laa this saturday, a week before Eid for sure kanak2 unta ni x datang class. Kononnya bz balik kampung and nak prepare utk Raya. Macam laa kat Msia, x de bas nak balik kg. Padahal kg2 diaorg ni hanyalah 2..3 jam dr college. Sangat laa x patut!!!

Many of the private colleges and universities here closed and will begin the semester after Eid. All of the schools are closed too. Reasonnya H1N1... Been praying so hard, hope the college is also close unfortunately till now x de apa pun. If not bleh jgk balik berpuasa lama skit di Msia. Hampa... amat menghampakan!!


Again, this semester memang pening and of course so many problems arise:

• students timetable is clash with our timetable
• new staff didnt come yet, and we need to take some of their classes
• Ramadhan time, all lectures 4-6 are cancel. Nice!!! - all the classes end at 2 ( bagusnya kan kat sini) kat Msia ader cam tu? so yg mana ader class 4-6 sepanjang Ramadhan lepak jerr laa kat rumah. You are lucky people!!!
• 1 hour class become 45 min only.
• Class back to back : exhausted!! even 45 min/ class - 4 hours in a row. Sengsara!!

Even byk problem arise di bulan Ramadhan ni, ader jgk advantage nyerr pd lecturer:

• paling lewat blk umah kul 3, tu pun sbb ader meeting
• balik rumah: after zohor adalah masa utk beristirehat
  
• iftar kul 6.30. kul 6 sempat lg nak masak- masak ker? Well, mkn jerr laa apa yg patut.
  
• solat terawih: kul 8 dah beres!!
  

Some of the students came to my room:

Students:

" Miss, we missed u so much"
" Miss, why u didnt teach us this semester? We need you Ms".
" Miss, you were in my dream. Really love u Miss"

Wah? biar betul kanak2 unta ini.. sesuka ati jer cakap mcm tu. Most of them are boys. Oooooooo... adakah mereke mengerti apa yg mereka ungkapkan?

" Miss, why I got D in your subject? You hate me?"
" Miss, thank you.. thank you.. love you. I got B-"
" Mafi Adil Miss.. why I got F? I answered everything Miss"

Tak kurangnya, ada yg memuji dan ada yg membenci. Aduhai kanak2 unta sekalian, "kulu anta anti make me sudah" - really make me headache.

Di zaman skrg ni, bukannya students takut lecturer tp lecturer takut students. Apakah???
Lecturer plak yg berpeluh2 nak menjawab persoalan2 memang x bleh dijawab. Even dijawab pun memang diaorg ni x bleh trima. So how???

Ignored!!!! Susah.. amat laa susah nak ignore and of course cant run away from these problems.

At last, say these words "Allah Kareem"... case closed!!

Dugaan & Rintangan

Ramadhan Kareem utk semua....

Di bulan Ramadhan yg penuh mulia ni, byk pulak dugaan dan rintangan.

Biasa laa kalau x update blog ni sure jer ader je masalah2 dalaman dan luaran yang melanda. Yang pasti alasannya adalah sama sperti sebelumnya dimana saya tahu alasan2 yg bleh ditrima dan yg x bleh ditrima oleh pembaca2 di luar sana. Internet kat rumah "k.o"!!! Nak harapkan kat ofis, 2 jam pun x jln2 lagi. Itulah dugaannya tuan-tuan dan puan2.

Alhamdulillah, internet kat rumah kembali pulih walaupun kesihatannya ditahap yg tidak memuaskan. Untuk check email, bleh laa lagi tp utk mengepos citer2 'kanak2 unta' kat blog ni amat laaa menyakitkan hati ini. Sudah 2-3 kali mengarang "citer2 hangat" di bulan Ramadhan disini tp tetiba ianya ilang begitu saja.

Ohhh internet, mengapakah engkau amat menguji kesabaranku dibulan yang mulia ini????

Tolong laaa... jgn laa buat diriku merana sperti ini!!! TUlungggg... tulunggggg....


Kepada MAkCU: Im still here sis, suffering with the connection tp tetap tabah berpuasa di bumi Oman ini, di harap MakCu and the geng are well and maintain slalu. Ohhh tidak, sampai skrg ni sy masih berusaha gigih utk melawat ke blog2 anda diluar sana. Saya tahu sy sudah byk ketinggalan dgn citer2 anda. Usaha tangga kejayaan!!!

Mmmmmm....

Hot ( got sunburn : SF15 sunblock doesnt work at all) + Exhausted (make me lazy to do work) + Thirsty (carrying mineral bottle everywhere) = All in one

Hot --> Hope my family will recognize me when Im back home. ( ader yg x pasal2 x mengaku anak ni, Ohh ibu dan bapaku trima laa hakikat kalau anakmu ni sudah kegelapan)

Exhausted --> Thank God, summer class goes well but still lazy to do work. Very lucky to have good students and great subjects.

Thirsty --> Definitely!! How I wish I can have ABC here. Pure thick juices are good enough for me.



Words fr the people around me:

• "This is the first time you bring a bottle of water to the class". ( 2 hours class tu, for sure x tahan kedahagaan)
• " MasyaAllah Miss, you look different when you are wearing sunglass". ( Eleh-eleh indirect betul, cuba laa cakap direct to ampang point jerr- tergoda laa tu :)) menyampah)
• " What? got sunburn? Alhamdulillah, dapat diskaun skit utk hantaran!! " Hahahhah, laughing to the floor!! ( Sangat laa tidak baik, hanya mencari alasan semata2, menci, menci)
• "Tak nampak you minum air pun, x dahaga ker? If you x dahaga, smtg wrong with u laa." ( suka2 sahaja ckp I x dahaga, padahal berbotol2 dah abis tau)
• " Why miss, you always zaklan (angry)?" Buat lagi I hot, dah laa kat luar hot x kena gaya dalaman pun hot and burning tau!! - sapa suruh dtg mintak markah di tgh2 kepanasan ni!!
  

MuSyKiLaH....

Musykil.. Musykil..Musykil

Tangguh punya tangguh... akhirnya dapat jgk update blog yg dah berkurun-kurun lamanya ditinggalkan. There were so many reasons Im not updating my blog:

• Internet connection: Bad.. bad.. bad.. at home and at the college sama jer. Guess what last time, I paid RO29/monthly and now for 30 hours/RO10. I dont mind paying more if the connection is good but every time Im logging in there is a problem. "page time out". Menci.. Menci.. Nyampah!! Nyampah!! Memang menguji kesabaranku!! (Ternyata sbb dah x update for 5 months right?)
  

• Work load: Spent most of my time doing my office work ( bz, bz, bz). Yelah tu!! Bz melayan kerenah2 anak2 unta disini. Suker.. suker. With 15 hours lecturing a week, almost every day doing personal counseling ( byk rahsia kan ku bongkarkan later), checking & marking students assignment & homework ( headache ke tahap nak pecah kepala) and bla.. bla.. ( byk laa ...)

• Personal problem: Yang ni pun termasuk jgk dlm alasan2 naper tak update blog. Byk problem2 yang melanda termasuklah masalah dalaman & luaran. ( But still waras okey)
  

• Business: Yang ni pun nak kena highlight gak ni. Kononnya bz dgn @Cerise sampaikan blog sdiri pun put aside ( amatlah kejam skali). Jemput2.. tuan2 puan2 jenguk ke sana. Sokongan anda didahului dgn ucapan terima kasih :) --> sungguh sopan statement ini ;))
  

Setelah memberikan penjelasan2 diatas, izinkan ana memohon maaf kepada :

* The Blue Tulip: oohh tidak, sy belum nikah lagi. Manyak2 maaf ku pinta. X putus2 bagi comment and asked me to update my blog. Thanks for keep supporting me babe. You are always sweet!

* Silent readers: I know you people are peeping my blog. You are most welcome :))

Mid Term Exam...

This week Im giving Mid Term Exam to my students. Im doing pretty slow this semester... I mean my students are dragging me slow beside with so many holiday around ( Eid, National Day Eid Adha, etc..) Imagine we have 15 Chapters in less than 10 weeks. How to finish up all of them? Mustahil right??

I can try my best to speed up my lectures but students keep complaining then ... they can catch up will the lectures. Nanti Miss Nur jugak yang dipersalahkan?

Ni nak citer pasal students Sem 1 yang buat I slalu buat I "Ogras". Guess what this afternoon, I gave them Mid Term Exam. A day before some students came asked me to postpone the exam coz the having another exam today. Im sorry students, I cant allow u.. No more!! Too much !!

So nak citernya today... Im being extraordinary nice to them. Al maklum laa sbb diaorg nak exam kan. I did warning them, I will help them in my marking. They just need to answer that sincerely and the best the can. No "SYaitan".. No "JiN" allowed. I even scared them .. If they look at their friend's answer, Insyaallah.. they will get blind and If they are talking to each other, Insyaallah, they will be deaf. Dashyat tak statement tu? Hahhahaha... Of course I need to scared them.. if not, mula laa buat perangai "keuntaannya"

Well, the exam went well for 15 minutes. They were so obedient and really concentrate answering the questions. Later then 20 min, I caught 2 students cheating. Both of them brought small notes and put it under the question paper. So smart right?? What then... i took their papers and "masalama" (goodbye). They shocked coz they didnt expect I knew what they were doing!!

Guess what, i noticed myself always have some kind of instinct every time Im invigilate the exam. I can 'smell' those who are cheating and who have intention to cheat. If Im your invigilator, nasib laa kan... x de chance laa nak meniru.

What shocking me most was, within 30 minutes I caught more than 1/2 of the students in the class cheating. Bleh?? I was so mad, upset.. ( zaklan, hazin). Ya Allah, Tuhan jerr yang tahu perasaan ku ini.. It took me almost a day to think and create the questions to suit them. Pilih perkataan yg senang2 utk diaorg faham .. But What I got? Puhh....

Some of them put the small notes on their laps... kertas putih, jubah ( dishdash) putih.. ingat I x nampak ker? Ya ampun kanak2 unta ni... tolong laa!!! Ada plak yg letak notes dlm lengan jubah diaorg..

What make me really mad was the deny they didnt cheat and the swear "Wallahi, I didnt cheat Miss" "WALLAHI" tu.. diaorg ni actually bermasalah betul tau. Bersumpah2 dengan nama Allah ni main2 jer... teruk betul!!

Bila fikirkan balik... its going to be easier for me coz most of them will get zero and I dont need to spend more time in marking but in other hand how can I fail most of my students in the class??

They really give me big headache. I reminded them several times, this mid term is going to be their last chance to improve their mark but still they never take it seriously.

Last 2 weeks ago, I did presentation with them and it turned out only 7 students present. The others were giving me excuses not prepared and need more time.

Hello people... im sorry, no more chance for you guys!! "Asif.. Ana Takban" ( Sorry, Im tired!!)

The question paper

Intro. to comm




Look at these.. So annoyed me!!

Ogras...

Ogras means headache. Memang headache pun. Since the semester starts till now Im so headache. With the classes and with the students' attitude. They drive me crazy all the time.

Ni nak citer pasal minggu lepas. This semester I lectures three different classes ( Intro to Comm, Interpersonal Comm. & Theory of Media Comm) and 3 diff semester ( 1,3,5). Alhamdulillah, so far my interpersonal classes are doing great. Subjectnya amat ku suka and students2 nya pun sama. I taught this 3 semesters students before and 99% of students dah kenal. So we are getting closer right now. I know their attitude and they also know my style of teaching. It become easier for me to handle these people.

Well, talking about 5 semester students, they are pretty good too. These student I ajar Theory of Media. Yang ni bermasalah nya adalah subject. Amat laa membosankan.. Really, lecturer pun baca notes ngantuk apa ntah lagi students2 ku yang kurang memahami isi kandungan subject ini. Elllooooo.... its theory !! What do u expect right?? The name of the subject also is sound so bored!! What more the content. I cant blame my students .. its hard to understand, very long info. for each chapters. Disebabkan kesian dan kasihku terhadap students2 ku ini, I take an initiatives to make notes for them. I make notes so called "mind-mapping notes". Bagus punya lecturer kan? Ader u all punya lecturer cam ni?? Dulu Miss Nik ader buat cam tu ker kat students dia?? Hahah.... Miss Nik x buat cam tu sbb dulu students2 budak cam kanak2 unta kat sini. Miss Nur kat sini terpaksa carik jalan utk bagi tarikan students2 paham dan ingat membaca. Well, the students in this class are easy too handle even this is my first time teaching them. Most of my students semuanya dah besar2 and mature2 blaka.

Satu lagi subject ialah subject Intro to Comm, semester 1 students. Aaaa... intro, subjectnya amat laa senang. Less preparation coz this is only at my finger tips. TETAPI...TETAPI.. BUT..BUT.. class ni laa yang slalu I mengucap panjang. Dalam class ni, ader benda yangku lakukan hanya dikelas ni and tidak di mana2 kelas lain...

• mengucap panjang. Astarafirullahal azim ( more than 5 times in each class)
  
• membebel cam mak nenek ( i guess better than mak nenek)
• tenung kat students lama2 ( slalunya kat students yg buat salah)
  
• leave the class before time
• hazin ( sad+ mad)

This class semuanya boys and they really drive me crazy. I guess this is the most craziest class I have ever taught!! What make me crazy are:

• they are talking never stop like a fish market ( more than that I believed)
• they never understand what I want
• never answer my questions
• not even bring notes, books or pen to the class
• came to class like watching me a movie star
• duk kat krusi pun berpeluk tubuh dgn lectures
• never care whats happening to the class
• etc..ect...ect ( x tertype..so and so many)

Well, I feel exhausted and really sad after this class. All the time since at the beginning of the semester. I will be kind to my students if they behave well and I will become devil if they are not. Really... coz of one group students make "dajal" in class. I just really cant stand them.

Its pity to those who want to study and listen to my lectures. Ada laa dalam 7 orang out of 25 yg betul2 nak blajar. The others suka main2.. x larat laa.. seriously since Im getting older I feel I cant stand with this kind of thing anymore.

Well, told you earlier.. since I was here Im very patient. Extremely patient with everything. Alahmdulillah laa kan compared when I was in Malaysia.. x penah sabar and x penyabar pun. Really, I need to admit that... but not here.

Tapi kan.. kesabaran ku dah tahap maksimum... tu yg terus meletup cam bom. Ogras!! Ogras!!

Last week, I gave a paper to each of these students and ask them to write something that they wanted to tell me. Its like a personal letter from them to me. They can write their problems to me and I promise with them I will never get angry in what they are going to write to me. Will be happy to change anything if Im wrong.

What I got... puhh.. amat laaa tidak ku menduka sama skali. These are some of the papers written by them:

Each of students wrote something... ada yg faham ada yg I x paham...

Look at this.. dia ckp I never smile.. Cam mana nak smile kalau dah asyik duk bengang jerr memanjang bila masuk class ni.

Tetiba jer x paham topic "barrier in comm." sbbnya after writing this I want to do quiz for them on that topic. Bijak2...

Adakah anda faham bahasa apakah yg digunakan oleh studentku ini?? Spelling.. Ya Rabbi.. masalah utama diaorg. Zeinas tu means bagus.. siut jerr kan.. suka2 dia jer nak tulis campur2.. Bengong tul kan!!!

Tengok yang ni best teacher in my life tu.. Dashyat kan.. Yang paling bestnya, ayat yg last skali.. "Please help me in marks"... tu laaa statement yg setiap pelajar wajib ckp kat lecturernya..Blajarnya malas, asyik nak suruh tolong jer memanjang.. bleh??

Ni yang salah sorang yg nak belajar...

Kononnya dia memahami laa kawan2 dia punya perangai and rasa simpati atas apa yg terjadi ;((

Ni yang paling best.. bila plak laa I cakap kat diaorg yang i dah kawin and one more sejak bila laa Im from china?? Ohh tidak... ogras!!!

Dengan kata lainnya amatlah ku sakit jiwa dgn kanak2 unta ni. Ni baru dapat satu class... cuba 7..8 class. I guess I need to stop lecturing here and go back to Malaysia. Please.. really pray no more students like them for the next semester.

Busy Week...

My class is already started this week. Feel so hectic and exhausted!!. Even my hours of lecturing is lesser than last semester ( 3 hours less) but still more preparation need to do. Last semester there was only one subject with 7 different groups and this semester, I got three subjects with three different semesters. Year one, Intro to Communication which is okey. Year two, Interpersonal Communication which is my interest and area and Year 3, Theories Of Mass Media which is not so okey. I dont like theory subject.. thats for sure!! But then I have too.. no choice.

Like previously, need a lot more preparation as here the lecturer MUST study more than students. I laa tu.. bukannya apa.. I need satisfaction of my lectures. When my students understood my lectures that is my satisfaction. It really a tough job for me to make them understand but Im slowly trying my best to use variety of teaching methods.

If you know me before.. I mean in giving lectures. Im the kind of person who like to give so many face expressions to my students. Thats me bebeh!!! Whether you like it or not you have to face it.

Coz of the new subjects and areas, everynite after terawih for sure I need to be like a student. Menelaah pelajaran.. Sometimes need to sleep till 2 coz of the long chapters. Ni semata2 utk students2 ku.. simplify the long notes, do mind mapping, giving handout etc. Still spoon feeding them.. even I hate and dont want to do that. But I still need to consider these coz of the level is so low.

I never regret choosing this line. Lecturing is my soul ( dashyat statement ni).. but I need to admit that I really enjoy what I am doing now.

This how it looks like when a lecturer like me is preparing lectures to their students

2nd Day of Ramadhan

I was in Muscat for the second day of Ramadhan sbbnya ader meeting. Our meeting started at 9 am and finished at 2pm. 9 am means 9.30 - 10.00. Biasa laa kan... time tu x brapa penting kat sini. Kalau kita rasa org Msia janji x tepat kat sini lagi laah.. 2x tak tepat.

This time our iftar ( berbuka pose) was at the hotel. Wah, kalau sebut berbuka kat otel for sure akan terpikir and terbayang makanan2 yg best2 kan. On the right corner, macam2 jenis kuih muih, on the left corner plak jenis2 buah-buahan and at the centre plak main dishes. See...see..meleleh dah air liur ku ini. Tu tak termasuk gerai2 yg kat tepi kan.. ader gerai mee rebus, mee sup... ada gerai goreng2.. Ya Allah.. puasa..puasa.. Apa ke jadah ni nak citer pasal makanan ni wey!!!!

Bilik kat Al Falaj Hotel

Actually nak citer iftar I kat otel sini. Ya Rabbi.. sabor jer laa. Suka sangat duk melalut ke lain. Orang otel cakap ader iftar nanti so Alhamdulillah.. Allah Kareem. Berbuka kat sini awal dlm kul 6.25 pm. Kul 6.15 turun laa kat restaurant tu. Jenguk2 dr luar cam x de orang jer.. biar betul x de org. Kena bayar sendiri ke tak ni? Patutnya dah termasuk skali. Tapi confident laa masuklah.. mata i dah menjeling2 dah carik makanan.. cam x nampak jerr. Tengok2.. wah byk nyer makanan. 3 plates for the dates and sweets, 1 plate for samosa, 1 plate for sandwiche, 1 plate for fruits and 1 big bowl for soup and bread. Banyak sekali kan? Kan? Kan?

Ohhhh tidak.. tapi syukur laa at least ader makanan jgk utk iftar compared to yesterday nak kena jalan redah2 carik restaurant nak beli makanan. Alhamdulillah...

Yang bestnya one of the Prof. fr Malaysia ajak pegi makan nasi arab after terawih. Wah.. best rasanya sbb td masa iftar x puas mkn.

Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque

After isyak kitaorg ( puak2 Msia) 2 kete pegi laa terawih kat masjid paling besar kat Oman ni Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque. Cantik masjid ni .. dah la besar sgt. Terpegun ku melihat keindahan masjid ni. Isyak kat sini 7.30 and kitaorg sampai kat masjid dah kul 8 pm. Bila sampai masjid terkial2 carik pintu utk bahagian pompuan... besar sgt masjid tu and masa sampai org dah solat terawih.. Kita pun ikutlah imam.. after 4 rakaat 2 x salam tetiba jer 3 rakaat. Tup2 dah witir.. ohh tidak.. x kan solat terawih kita org x cukup?? Hehehe.. Lawak tul. Ingatkan org kat sini buat 21 rakaat rupanya 8 jerr. X macam kita kat msia. Satu lagi I notice kat sini pompuan dia x ramai pegi solat terawih. I dont know why... may be pompuan2 solat kat umah jer kot. Ana pun solat kat umah gak ;))

Ni kat dlm masjid tu..cantik kan?

Lepas solat terawih 'kartun" tadi kitaorg pun pegi la restaurant nak mkn nasi arab. Prof. S memang baik ati blanja all of us makan malam tu. Kiranya cam makan utk sahur jgk laa sbb lepas makan sampai otel dah nak kul 12 dah. Cedapppp sgt nasi arab tu...serious. I makan lauk ayam and the others makan lauk kambing. Yg makan lauk kambing tu..mak oiii licin pinggan. Cam biasa laa satu plate tu bleh mkn 3 org weh.. mana laa akak nak abis makan. Kalau dekat2 dah tapau bwk balik umah dah. Hehehhhe

* Thanks to Prof. S sbb blanja makan nasi arab tu.. sedap sgt. Semoga Allah murahkan rezeki Prof ;)

SuSPeK Udah Di KeNaLPaSTi

Siut jerr... nak jadikan citer that nite berlakunya "The Scary Movie" I cant sleep well. Yeah, keep thinking and feel so worried... Tido2 cam tu la, luckily laa this week dah x de lectures...if not for sure bagi keje in the group work ( bagus punyer trick lecturer kan?).

This week, kalau x kena invigilate exam, I pakat dgn my friend pegi ofis kul 7.45am and kalau kena invigilate pegi awal skit laa 7.15/7.30am. Disebabkan x de exam yg nak kena invigilate, we decided to go at 7.45am.

Minggu ni turn my friend lak yg drive. Biasa laa kitaorg every week tukar2 drive. Kan nak adil dan saksama..So my sapa yg jd driver terpaksa la kluar 5-10 minutes awal dr penumpang kan sbb nak kena panaskan enjin kete dulu.

My clock in the room showed 7.45am. I bukak la pintu tergedek2 kunci pintu. Bila bukak nak kunci pintu dr lua, terbau laa perfume. Dlm ati cam bau perfume jiran depan umah jerr. Sbb penah laa bau cam ni before.. mmg sah laa dia yg pakai..

Turun laa i tangga and terkejut laa plak, jiran i yg kat depan umah duk berdiri kat situ sambil duk check2 dia nyer hanphone. I bagi laa salam kan kat dia.. nanti kan ckp apa lak...and terstop laa kat tepi dia sbb dia cam blocking jerr laluan i nak turun tangga... buar betik mamat ni!!

Me: Assalamualikum..morning

Jiran: Wsalam. Morning.. Whats wrong with your tv?

Me: Mmmmm...ooo, smtg wrong. The remote doesnt work and I asked the technician to come and have a look

Jiran: Ohh ic.. I saw last nite your house's door opened.

Me: Anyway, whats your name? ( saje laa tanya cam tu sesambil nak menyiasat kes mlm td)

Jiran: Im Sul***. You got my message?

Me: Message? ( giler buat muka x tahu and x paham dia ckp)... What message? Im Nur

Jiran: Beautiful name ( sempat lagi tu...) Nevermind. Give me your number.. Im so worried coz u are alone... plz tell me anything.. I mean if you need help, do let me know okey..

Me: Insyaallah... ( dlm ati yelah nak call dia ckp nak mintak tlg... ye sgt lerr tu)

Jiran: Your number plz?

Me: Mmmmm.... ( tetiba laa plak I x ingat my number... terketar2 pun ader)..then couple of second ingat balik...so x de choice laa x nak kasi kan...

Jiran: Tq...plz need help call me.

Masa duk ckp2 dgn dia tu.. terkesima laa jgk i. Yelahhh bak kata my friend... cair laa jugak bila tgk mamat ni.. dah laa bau perfume dia.. tergamam laa plak.. Tergamam x semestinya suker.. Highlight tu...

I sebenarnya nak g buang sampah sesambil tu.. tgk2 my friend lum turun lagi.. X pe..jln slow2 menuju ke arah blkg umah nak buang sampah. Malas laa nak terserempak lagi dgn mamat tu. Dia pun panaskan enjin kete dia.. Lepas buang sampah tu dpt sms fr my friend " 7.50 k"?

Alaaa,...sabor jerr laa.. lewat laa plak..I dah kat bwh ni nak naik semula dah malas kan.. apa2 pun terpaksa gak laa jln depan kete mamat ni.. Terpaksa okey..dah x d laluan lain dah. Kete dia betul2 depan pintu umah kitaorg. Nak tak nak.. I redah jerr laa. Utk tidak menjadi seorang perempuan yg rude, I lontarkan laa senyuman ku ini masa lalu depan dia kan...Kasi dia pengsan skit...hahahahhahah

Sempat lagi tu ckp kat I " dont forget yeaa... call me if you need help"

So tuan-tuan, puan2 skalian... terjawab laa persoalan scary movie tu. Giler cepat ...x sempat 24 jam tu. Kalah CSI, FBI, PDRM.. terror tak??

My mood lepas tu till now.... mmmmm... berbelah bagi..x sure laa sejauh mana kejujuran dia kan. The good things is suspek tu adalah jiran I. Yang I paling takut org luar laa.. sbbnya cam mana dia org bleh tahu umah i semua kan..tu lagi scary the mary weh..

Hope everything will going to be okey laa...

Persoalannya...

1. Naper dia nak tinggalkan notes tu kan??

2. Ape ker jadah laa plak kan?

3. Betul ker ni niat dia baik? Ke ader smtg behind that...

Apa2 pun, I pray hard to Allah so He will always protect me. Amin....

SCaRY MOViE

Meh laa dekat2 ni nak citer scary movie for today...serious x tipu pun..

Its happened just now.. lepas proses masak memasak pasta.

Lepas masak, terus sms my friend nak antar kat dia and she x reply my sms. Bz laa tu ... then tetiba jer I heard my door bell. Mmmmm... biasa laa bila bunyi loceng, x penah pun I bukak pintu. Brani nak bukak?? No way..

Kitaorg dah buat perjanjian lagi dulu2 masa mula2 sampai. Memandangkan akak tu duk bwh and I duk kat tingkat atas we both agreed of certain things like:

1. Kalau laa bunyi loceng, jgn gatal2 tgn nak bukak pintu. At least intai dulu kat lubang kecik tu..

2. Kalau sesapa nak dtg umah, they need to call first. If not jgn harap kitaorg nak bukak pintu. Tunggu laa sampai pagi pun x akan bukak pintu.. Tekan laa loceng tu sampai rosak pun kitaorg x akan bukak..

3. Even i nak pegi umah dia kerr.. dia nak dtg umah i kerr.. call dulu or sms first.. br dtg. Kitaorg x akan redah jerr pegi.


Berbalik pada citer td, last couple of weeks and months ago...Ade laa jgk 4..5 kali bunyi loceng and I always ignored. Not even pegi intai pun.. malas laa. Biasanya kalau bunyi loceng, for sure akan bunyi kat umah my friend first sbb dia duk tingkat bawah and dia for sure akan call or sms tanya i..

But today, asal lak I gatal2 nak pegi intai kat lubang tu sapa yg tekan loceng umah. Intai2..rupa2nya org French...jiran kat bwh. So i bukak laa pintu. Dia nak pinjam kunci kat tingkat atas. Tingkat atas actually tempat letak antenna tv or machine aircond tu. So dia nak pinjam nak duplicate. Siap dtg dgn bini dia lagi tu...hehhe..

Dia tq laa sgt bukak pintu and I did explain to them.. Biasa nyer i x bukak pintu. Diaorg pun bla laa.. and by the time I nak tutup pintu, I saw a piece of paper lipat2 right by the door. I pun ambik laa kertas tu and tutup pintu umah..

Masuk bilik and bukak kertas tu laa kan. Mana laa tahu kot2 kertas jiran French tadi kerr terjatuh.. Tapi cam x jerr.. Tahu tak what was written on that paper...

Ya Allah..scary the mary weh bila I baca paper ni. Terus terketar2 jari jemari ku. Sapa plk yg hantar ni weh.. Sabor jerr laa..

Mulanya agenda nak antar pasta jer kat umah my friend and now ader agenda ni laa plak nak citer kat dia. Giler menakutkan weh..

So pegi laa umah dia and citer2 laa kat dia. Dia pun terkejut giler.. and duk sama2 laa pikir.. Sultan mana lak ni. Byk laa soalan2 terkluar and diantaranya:

1. Naper kertas ni kat umah i lak?
2. Ntah2 kertas tu terjatuh dr poket baju or seluar org French ni kot?
3. Sapa pulak ni nak buat dajal..
4. Bengong laaa... ( ader gak yg ni..heheh)

Bila kitaorg baca balik kertas ni .... firasat my friend and I mengatakan, ader dua kemungkinan..

1. Postive - may be niat org ni baik. Dia nampak I ni keseorangan kat sini and he's trying to give a hand. Kot2 laa dia bleh tlg. Kalau baca elok2.. dia ckp call dia kalau need any help kan?? And disebabkan english diaorg bertrabur skit.. makna nyerr cam lain mcm skit kan??

2. Negative - nama tu Sultan, maknanya org sini and for sure laa nama laki. Nak berkenalan kerr? Helluuuu... ingat I ni minah2 jalanan kerr...or maid2 Indon kerr?? Suker2 jer nak berkenalan kan. Nak berkenalan ckp depan2 laa wehhh.., bengong tul laa!!! Aaaa...kan dah bengang ni!!

So suspek2nya adalah....hehehhe siap ader list suspek ni. Ni keja my friend laa ni. Calon2nya adalah:

1. Jiran depan umah I
Jiran depan umah i org sini and dia ada anak sorang. Muda laa lagi mamat ni.Kitaorg x de laa slalu jumpa. Biasanya jumpa dia masa pagi2 nak gi ofis. Kasi2 salam and senyum2. Tak dapat dinafikan bila tgk senyuman dia membuatkan my friend cair ( mampus I kena hentam kalau akak ni baca) ...eleh leh le.. I x ngaku laa I cair gak okey..mmg laa cair jgk tapi skit jerr laa. Adakah mamat ini? X kan laa kan.. ish.. dia nampak baik jerr. Dia dah ader bini and anak sorang lerr.. takkan laaa kan.. mungkin tidak kot.. tapi kitaorg x tahu laa nama dia sapa. Mission my friend, nanti kita cuba tanya nama dia...hahahha... x tahu la menjadi ker tak. Tapi kan...apa kerr jadahnya dia nak letak kertas tu kat situ kan?? Betul tak?? Nak my phone number...ckp laa kan.. Sure I x kasi nyerr unless wife dia yg mintak laa...

2. Teksi2 driver... sedara mara sapa2 yg kita kenal...org kwn sapa2 yg kitaorg kenal. Ohhh tidak.. Mmg laa kitaorg ni artis kan kat sini. Pegi mana2 pun jd tumpuan.. chewah giler glamor siut!! Tapi betul laa kan.. sbbnya pompuan2 kat sini kan semua tutup muka and kalau yg dedah muka pun sure kulit gelap kaan.. So kitaorg jgk laa yg jd tumpuan.. Tapi siapa?? Cam mana diaorg tahu umah I?? Tak sukerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....

3. Tgk betul2 kat kertas tu.. ader tulis "OMANTEL" kan? Maksudnya kertas tu dr OMANTEL. Omantel tu adalah syarikat telekomunikasi kat sini. Kalau kita kat Msia cam Maxis, Digi cam tu laa. Tetiba laa my friend teringat laa kat sorang mamat yg keje kat Omantel. Masa tu I nak g bayar my internet line sbb line Omantel. Pegi laa kat kaunter and jumpa mamat ni. He is a nice guy and suka2 laa dia tgk2 kat I ni. Tu my friend laa perasan. Peduli apa I org nak tgk I kerr.. x nak tgk kerr... I x rasa pun cam dia tgk2 giler2... my friend laa perasan. Tapi I rasa gak but then I buat x tahu laa... bukan nyer I minat pun nak tgk dia. Mamat ni jd extra baik laa siap tlg ajar cam mana nak byr guna ATM machine. Kira okey laa. One day tu kitaorg singgah laa sana nak bayar guna ATM machine tu, tetiba lak dia kluar dr ofis dia then nampak laaa I... giler terkejut beruk dia and senyum lebar sambil kasi salam. Peduli apa I.. org nak kasi salam...jwb jerr laa. Tapi nampak laa muka terkejut dia.. Bengong kan?? So firasat my friend kot2 dia laa sbb kertas tu tulis "Omantel". X sure laa..this things happened dah lama. Mula2 bayar tu, it was on February kot and last month yg jumpa dia terkejut tu. Tapi kan... x kan laa insiden tu kan dah lama..x kan laa tetiber jerr dia nak antar kertas ni kan?? Ntah laa... so misi my friend adalah... Kita pegi bayar bil, jgn guna machine..kita gi bayar kat kaunter and sajer2 laa tanya sapa nama dia kan. Kalau 'Sultan" sah2 laa mamat ni.. Nak jerr I belasah kat situ gak!!

3. Yang ni lagi lawak.. tertuduh adalah mamat sorang ni yg keje kat one of the store yg kitaorg slalu pegi every weekend. Dia org local gak...baik..slalu gak kacau2..ala biasa laa kan org kat sini sajer2 nak ckp english laa kononnya. Mmmm... but i dont think so dia laa. Dia baik bak kata my friend.. apa masalahnya. I penah bagi email i kat dia tu pun sbb dia mintak tlg emailkan photshop software. Kalau laa dia nak menggatal kan, nak phone number i...ckp jer laa kan and what more dia bleh email me asking me the number. Nooo.. I dont think so!! He knew my dad coz dulu my dad used to buy most of the things there. What more I know his name..definitely bukan Sultan laa..nama dia Sulaiman.. Heran aku lerr. My friend and I strongly said its not him!!! Tapi naper laa dia masuk dlm list ni...aku pun x paham lerr!! ( suspek jerr okey)

Buat masa ni 3 suspek laa dpt dikenalpasti.. apa2 pun it is better for me not to do anything. Tak kan I giler nak call dia lak? Tak kuasa laaa.. Im not a desprate single lady okey!!

Apa2 pun just be cool.. Insyaallah nothing will happened okey... Do pray for me guys!! Really need your prayer..

In conclusion, i terpaksa laa terima hakikat bila berada di dunia ni sebagai artis. Begini laa kehidupan seorang artis di bumi Arab ( hahahhahahahhahahha... sila muntah semua org lepas baca post ni) ..

Benci laaaaaaaaaa.... tahu laa I ni muda skit . Tapi ini tidak bermakna manusia2 bleh sesuka ati nyer memandang diriku ini.. Ingat I ni cam kanak2 ribena lagi ker?? Stop telling me that I look so small and so young like a teenager. It just coz of my height!! Ohhh tidakkkkkkkkkkk.....

Whatever it is...
--> Im glad and Im grateful with what I have now even kat mulut ni asyik nak complaint jer memanjang. Tu kat mulut jerr...kat ati x pun. Biasa laa mulut jerr lebih.. kat ati tak cam tu... Nampak jerr garang2... slalu marah2.. tapi dlm ati x pun cam tu!! Hehehheheh...

Bengong...

Bagus punyerr tajuk kan??

I know I didnt write for almost a week or may be more.. tahu tak naper? Sbbnya :

1. bz siut.. sgt..sgt la bz coz since last week kanak2 unta ni final exam. Jadi invigilator laa all the time..
2. bengang tahap kritikal.. naper?? Sbb ader manusia yg x bertanggungjwb baca blog ni bleh?? Tak ku sangka yg dia bleh carik and baca.. sanggup tu geledah net ni semata2 utk carik blog i.. luckily most of my post in bahasa jiwa bangsa kan??

Bercerita pasal bengang ni...ader laa manusia ni ntah cam mana ntah dapat tahu my blog and dia amat laa suka baca.. Yelah, most of the things that I wrote adalah pasal life kat sini kan and byk laa umpatan2 yg amat laa keji dicoretkan didlm blog ni and dia tahu laa segala gerak geri I kat sini, Helllooooooo.... suker suker kau jerr nak tahu idupku yang aman damai kat sini!! Ergggg....x sukerr okey!! Benci!! Bengong tul laa mamat sekor ni..aaaaa kan dah kena seekor..

Well, mulai ari ni...my post is going to be byk bahasa jiwa bangsa okey.. Im trying my best to post it dlm bangsa jiwa bangsa..

Kepada pembaca setia yg duk email tu naper laa I duk block blog ni kan... sbb musababnya org yg bengong ni laa. I kena laaa betulkan mana2 post yg dianggap sensor tu kan. Nanti mampus akak yg x pasal2 kena. I x suker okey org2 kat ofis i baca blog ni.. Hahahha.. Benci laaa.. x leh laa nak umpat umpatan lagi kan... And these make me so feel so lazy to post anything. Ikutkan byk jerr nak postkan citer2 yg menarik kan.. but then mood dah x de...

Thanks to someone who calm me down with this problem.. cayang u, mmmwah!! If not nak jerr ku delete blog ni but I sayang okey blog ni coz at least ader laa smtg yg di jot down while Im here kan..

Conclusionnya...I akan cuba sedaya upaya utk guna bahasa jiwa bangsa okey.. Kalau skit2 campur tu buat2 x nampak laa yerr.... at least org yg bengong itu x bleh nak paham bila dia baca, Padam muka!!!

First Meeting

The meeting supposed to start at 9 am and turned out at nearly 10 am. Terukkan diaorg punya timing kat sini. Meeting with all the communication lecturers from all colleges. Since I came here never meet anybody some of them and guess what 3/4 of the staff in this department are Indians. Hahhahahah.. as expected. They are good in communication right!!

The chairman was the coordinator of the program and he is an Australian if Im not mistaken. Well, the meeting was like 'a talk show' coz Mr Chairman been talking non stop since the meeting started till at nearly 4pm. There were an argument between the staff as I expected and suggestions and ideas from the other colleges. The meeting was so dull and bored for me coz they were talking abt smtg ridiculous. Mmm... salary thing, relocation, exam, coordinating and etc...

Guess what the "good" thing abt this meeting was they were only prepare the snack of the day... even the meeting tooks more than 5 hours still we got only breads. Is it funny?? Not like in Msia..especially in govt. sector...Dengar jerr meeting sampai ker lunch..even till 11 pun dah kalut dah nak mintak lunch. Isnt that good?? Jangan harap laa kat sini.. Even bfast... supposedly the hotel is including the bfast but not here..it is excluded..dashyat kan?? Yeah, the hotel do served the bfast but we need to pay for RO4.100= RM40 for only the bfast?? Of course big NO...NO for me.. why I need to waste my money just only for the bfast right?? The supposed to include the bfast..so laa pelik laa kat sini. Even when you wanna stay at the hotel, they didnt count as per room but per head.. so laa pelik kan??

Well, I was not really enjoy in the meeting.. I be a good listener and got a task need to complete before I leave for summer holiday.

Went back to Sur right after the meeting at nearly 4.30pm. Stop for the Asar prayer and bought food to pack home. The journey was so good even the road was not completed yet. Up side down.. free exercise as I told in the earlier post. Been chatting with the driver ..making jokes..laughing ... and x tido..Hahahha.. serious x tido!!

At first, I decided to extend our stay till weekend.. but I got a bad mood. My mood swung coz of the meeting and decided to go back right after the meeting. Arrived Sur at nearly 6pm and I was so exhausted. Time to sleep and take a good rest for myself..

Journey for the Meeting

I been told that Im going to have a first meeting with all the communication lecturers from all the colleges in Muscat on Wednesday (14 May). Bestnya... bleh pegi Muscat after so long didnt go there.

In my department of comm, there are only 4 of us including me. 2 Indians and 2 Msians. My boss needs to go one day earlier coz of HOD's meeting and another colleague will go by himself on the same day. We decided to get a driver to sent us there and the hotel been booked by the administration people.

I left the college at the afternoon around 2.30pm on Tuesday. At that time, panas mentari terik diatas kepala.. Mak oiii.. can feel the real heat!! The driver is named Ahmad Sabar and he was the person who took me to the college when I first came here. He is such a very quiet man but nice. Only my friend and I went with him.

There are two ways to go to Muscat..One is the long way which is higway. It takes 3 1/2 -4 hours to reach Muscat while another way is a bit shorter way which is by the coaster road. This coaster road takes 2-21/2 hours there. Ahmad preferred to take coaster road coz its shorter and will be pass his village called Tiwi. Sukerr laaa si Ahmad ni... melalu kampung halaman dia kan. We all x kisah pun..as long as sampai kat sana sudah. We used own college land rover and its totally suit for the coaster road like he gone through.

The coaster road is expected to finish it soon.. now is still in the process of building the highway. Supposed to finish Jun this year and extend to next year. Once that coaster road finish, it will only take us 1 1/2 -2 hours to reach Muscat. Bestnya kan...x de laa lama sangat..senang laa nak berulang alik nanti.

At the moment, the road is pretty good compare to the last time when I came here. Ahmad took my parents and I with this road and amatlah teruk skali. Jalan yg berbukit bukau..main redah jerr... simpang siur.. Still remembered, on our way to Sur using this road..my mum was so worried till her tears flow. Yelah, tgk jalan cam ni.. teruk tul kan. dia risau laa kat I kat sini. Cam mana laa anak aku ni nak pegi Muscat ..pegi airport kalau ader apa2 emergency nak kena balik Msia. Ish...my mum ni kesitu plak yg difikirkan. Tuhan tu kan Maha Adil..Insyaallah, everything will be going to be okey. Seee... skrg ni pun jalan tu dah nak siap dah..no more worried. I totally understood her feeling last time. She loves me so much and she doesnt want me to suffer... Luv u min..

Actually, best jugak lalu jln ni.. bila lalu jln yg byk batu bata... berbukit bukau... duk kat dlm kete tu rasa cam exercise jerr. Free exercise.. semua otot2 bergerak.. dr ujung kepala hingga laa ujung tapak kaki. Bergerak2..bergetar2..Hahahhaha... Automatically dpt free exercise!!

Si Ahmad Driver ni x pandai sgt ckp English and we all plak x pandai sgt ckp Arab. Bagus laa cam ayam dan itik. Hhehehe.. bila ckp smtg in Arabic... dia gelak.. bila dia ckp English kitaorg gelak.. Labu...ohh Labu... Bergelak2 jerr laaa.

My friend yg lawaknya ckp ni pakwe dia...konon2 laa.. Coz tgk si ahmad ni cam muka yg x de perasaan jerr. Alah...cam muka selambaland gitu.. jenis yg tak reti nak marah..susah lerr nak explain..Korang paham2 laa sdiri okey!! Just imagine what I said...Nama lagi Ahamd Sabar,..aaa jenis muka penyabar pun ader.. hehhhehhe...

Kitaorg duk laa melawak dgn dia suruh dia berhenti kat Kg dia tu.. pandai plak dia ckp mak ayah dia tido laa..x leh berhenti laa.. Mmmmm...takut lerr tu, yelah suka2 jerr kerr ingat nak buat blk 2 perempuan jelitawati ni balik umah.. Haram...haram..hehehheheh... Gelak dia!! Skit..skit..tomorrow aaa... tomorrow aaa... Giler lawak !!

Gelak punyer gelak...ckp punyer cakap...tertidur gak I kat dlm kete tu.. yelah panas terik ni.. sampai2 dah kul 6 jgk laa..terus check in kat Hotel Al Falaj. Okey laa otel tu.. dah penah dah duk otel ni dulu2 masa mula2 dtg.. The hotel is very close with the ministry as our meeting the next day is at the ministry.

The otel may be only 3 stars otel kot.. cam biasa2 jerr laaa and it cost RO60=RM600..siut mahal.. RM600 siap bleh duk kat Hotel Golden Horses dah okey kat Msia tu.. sini just hotel3 stars jerr.. and coz of ministry booked they gave half price RO37 including the taxes and its excluded the bfast. So laa kedekut ministry ni...x termasuk bfast tu..jahat..jahat.. x sukerr. Kalau nak bfast kat situ bleh just pay RO4.100 per head. What... mahal siut..sgt laa mahal!!! We rather eat outside.

Luckily one of our Msian friend another state will be coming and staying at the same hotel too. She came with his husband and 2 kids. Thank God, they got car and on the next morning, they brought us to one of the coffee shop to have our bfast before the meeting starts. Pegi makan roti parata kat indian coffee shop.. Sedap gak..dgn kuah dal. Hahahha dal nyerr amat laa pekat skali.. satu pinggan 2 keping paratta.. If kat kedai lain usually satu pinggan 3 paratta.. Mak oiii...ingat perut i ni besar sgt kerr...2 paratta pun x dpt nak abis wehhh..

When to the meeting right after the bfast.. Ehhh.. nope.. we check out the hotel before we left for bfast and I just realized I left my new Clark sandal in the hotel room. Biar betui aku ni..tetiba jerr lupa.. I was wearing sandal at first and change to shoes coz of the meeting and forgot to put inside my bagpack. Nasib baik ingat kan.. so right after having our bfast went to the hotel to find my sandal.

My dearie Clarks Sandal.. mmg laa x lawa but comfortable sgt..sukerr!!

Kalau sandal yg murah2 ..yg dah buruk2.. for sure I will just leave it there but this is Clarks sandal okey!! Beli dah lama kat sini during sale but I never used it. Sayang sangat..sbb baru and sbb mahal..hahhaha..Teruk kan?? Tak kan laa nak tinggalkan cam tu jerr kan. Went to the counter and the receptionist gave me the key of the room. By the time I reached the room, the people was cleaning the room... and unfortunately I x not find my lovely sandal. Nak nangis pun ader...nak marah pun ader.. sayang okey kat sandal tu.. seriously sayang!!

Akhirnya kau miliku.. serious comfortable!! Its sale product for sure..if not cant afford to have one

I asked the cleaner and he didnt understand. I show my shoe.. he gave me the plastic bag..I said sandal...sandal.. he gave a paper for the shoes polish.. after 5-10 minutes explaining and at last he understood. My sandal is inside the big black plastic bag. Ohhh tidak.. if not he will throw it or put it under "lost and found". Ada rezeki lagi laa kan.. Alhamdulillah...

If not I will be crying for my sandal.. for sure nak kena carik the same sandal again... ;(

Dengan senyum yg panjang lebar ... we went straight to the ministry for 9.00 am meeting.

Abaya...

Its common for a lady here to wear Abaya ( black jubah) and shela ( tudung hitam yg belit2 tu ). In my place here, the ladies are more conservative.. they will covered their face with shela. Dasyhat tu... especially when you bump with the ladies at nite. Scary the movie weh.. imagine jln x nampak muka.. amat laa menakutkan!! I dont know how they walk and breath.. they must be used to it rite!!

Well, I got my own Abaya and shela too. Sajer jerr beli kan..mana laa tahu kot2 emergency .. I need to wear. Bought it from Carrefour and it was a simple Abaya.. I was little surprised when I saw ladies wearing Abaya here. I mean in Msia, ladies wear their jubah up to their knees and here.. ambik kau..labuh cam baju pengantin lak.. Sekali tgk cam baju pengantin berjela2 labuhnya..dua kali tengok cam MPPJ... menyapu sampai dilantai. Hehhehe... At first I want my mum to outer the Abaya, it seems pretty long for me.. berjela2 panjangnya but bila dah tgk org kat sini pakai yg panjang2, ku lupakan hasratku itu. So now, i wear a Abaya yg berjela2 yg menyapu segala sampah sarap dilantai but it is a split in the middle. Sexy Mexy tu.. hahahha. Definitely need to wear another clothes inside.. so x de la sexy mexy kan.

My friend and I will be wearing an Abaya especially when we go out at nite. Yelah.. kalau pakai Abaya x de laa orang nak kacau. They are respect to the ladies here ... no gangguan at all.

Nak jadikan citer last week, we wanted to go and buy shawarma for our dinner and wanted to seat by th beach nearby our house. We went to Turkish restaurant nearby and order the food from the car. You must be wondering how to order. Aaaa... mai nak khabar ni...Memandangkan org2 kat sini semuanya "rajin2" blaka so bila diaorg nak order mkanan for bungkus/tapau/parcel or whatever u wanna call it, diaorg ni hanya perlu menghonkan kereta and waiter and cepat2 berlari menuju ke kereta utk ambik pesanan. Bleh??? Dasyhat kan??? Imagine kat Msia cam ni..senang idup kan..

Most of the restaurant around managed by the Indian workers and of course the boss is their local people. Kesian tu tgk Indian2 ni bergesa2 lari kat kete nak ambik order...diaorg lak kat sini bukan nyerr ader sifat kesabaran.. honk..honk..honk.. kalut dibuatnya!!

Not like us.. we knew and familiar with two good restaurant ( Turkish and Syrian Restaurants). Diaorg ni baik laa teramat and kasi phone number diaorg..before we arrived there, we make a called and order the food and by the time we arrived there, our food is ready. Isnt it good?? Mmmm.. suker sgt sbb x buang masa. Bab2 calling2 ni I laa yg slalu kena ..my friend tu ngada2 x nak call..yang muda ni laa jgk yg kena kan!! Labu..labu dah nasib kau labu.Fr Turkish restaurant named Mohamed and fr Syrian restaurant named Ramadhan.. they are really respect us as a lecturers..siap panggil Doctora.. hahahhaha.. means lecturer pompuan. Siut jerr kan.. title Dr tu...hahhahha

These people realized that we are wearing Abaya sometimes.. buat malu jerr. Yelah, dia nampak cam lain mcm jerr budak2 pompuan ni.. All the sudden wearing all black. Diaorg ni x tahu yg kita ader agenda lain kan?

Usually, will buy 2 shawarma for each and like me I will eat one and another one will keep it for my bfast.

Pegi laa kitaorg kat beach tu.. kluar jerr dr kete..ader org honk..Amatlah siut skali. Pakai abaya ni supaya x diganggu.. digganggu jgk.Aderr jerr mata2 yg memandang. X suker okey!!! Rupa2nya org kat sini tahu taktik2 kitaorg ni. Cam mana nak menipu yg pompuan kat sini... pakai Abaya, tapi muka x tutup...hahahha.. Tu yg diaorg perasaan tu!! Bak kata org kalau dah artis tu..artis jgk laa kan!! Sila muntah semua org bila baca statement ni....hehehheheheh

Makan2 laa kat tepi pantai tu sambil2 duk kat atas batu bata. Sesambil makan sesambil meluahkan perasaan masing2 and bukak laa citer masing2. Bertukar2 pendapat.. bertukar2 idea and citer. Dengan angin bayu yg menghembus...waduhhh...amat laa best skali!! But not that nite.. when we were enjoying our shawarma, all the sudden one dog came so close with me. Menjerit akak!! Yelah..x kee siut tu.. I takut okey anjing.. anjing ni pun satu dtg tu cubalah bagi salam dulu.. ni main redah jerr..terperanjat I dibuatnya. What my friend did.. half of her shawarma to that dog. So laa baik kan kawanku itu.. yang anjing ni pun satu..siap makan tu.. makan ayam jerr.. yg lain2 x makan!! Erggg...so laaa ngeri .. imagine laa 3..4 steps near me that dog enjoyed eating his shawarma.

I just ignored it and after he done he came closer again..Ohhhh tidak.. cam mana nak samak ni kalau anjing dah dtg dekat2 gesel2..erggg.. lum lagi gesel2..takut laa kan dtg buat cam tu.. I dgn baik hati nya mengahalu2 anjing tu.. Pegi laa dia...x jauh...8..9 steps away. Siut punya anjing!!
Guess what.. dog is their pets here. What dog?? Pets?? Yeah.. I can believed it. For them as long as the dog didnt bite them its okey. X perlu samak2 ni.. kita kalau dah sentuh2 dgn anjing wajib samak kan!! Ntah laa diaorg ni. Even the kids at the beach like to play with dogs.. dogs like cats here.

Idup rasanya x senang sbb anjing sekor ni duk kat depan. Makan shawarma pun I x lalu okey. I terus angkat punggung utk beredar ke kete..aaaa.. all the sudden, there was a group of 10-12 dogs came near me.. runnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.. Nak mati?? Jom..jom balik umah!!
