[The Other Side of the Story]

Lupa nak bagitau, yang edit photos in my previous entry is my other half @ chepok....So, credit to him ;oD

Posing, posing sakan @ Park Royal Hotel Penang....

Bergetar jiwa di persada bercahaya Pertemuan harapan pertama kalinya Bergetar jiwa menghadapi mimpi-mimpi Sukar dipercaya pintunya terbuka Di sini jua memori tercipta Walau seketika terjalin kasih kita Mungkin di sini kita kan terpisah Kenangan bersama tiada kulupa Mengalun suara sesuri bisikan hati Seiringan mencari haluan berseni Bergetar jiwa menghadapi mimpi-mimpi Tiada pun terduga pintunya terbuka Di sini jua memori tercipta Walau seketika terjalin kasih kita Mungkin di sini kita kan terpisah Kenangan bersama tiada kulupa Yang terpahit jua termanis Semuanya bagiku terindah Kuingati buat selama-lamanya Di sini jua memori tercipta Walau seketika terjalin kasih kita Mungkin di sini kita kan terpisah Kenangan bersama tiada kulupa Mungkin di sini kita kan terpisah Kenangan bersama Mungkin di sini kita kan terpisah Kenangan bersama tiada kulupa Lagu nie dari Shila OIAM. Entah kenapa tetiba tersuka kat lagu nie....Melayan perasaan, teringat memor...

Rasa nak nangis jer, banyaknya kerja yang menanti....Biler dah banyak, mula la tension tak tau nak buat yang mana dulu....Next week nak pi conference, slides presentation tak siap lagi....Supervisor minta revise again my chapter 1 & 2 (as expected) plus several other things to be included. Letih, penat jalan jauh pi kenduri kat JB tak hilang lagi....pastu today pi Penang, bawak adik2 pi hotel tempat ayah ada seminar....Release sikit tension, tapi takkan settle la pressure nie....Nak kena pi servis kereta lagi....Nak nangis.... Nasib baik my hubby @ chepok kata relaks la, dia pun banyak kerja gak....So, teruskan buat kerja, jangan malas2....Esok pagi, mulakan dengan azam baru key....Maya, you can do it (ayat standard untuk memujuk diri sendiri)....

Last nite was the final episode for this season. However, my other half is not very happy with the way it ends....Horatio Caine died? We can't believe that. If it so then, is there any new season soon? Before we went to bed last nite, we still discussing about the ending part of the series. My hubby is the one who feels very frustrated. He supposed to sleep early because he has job to do today but he just couldn't. He keeps on criticizing the ending. He told me that after he finish off his shooting today, he would like to search more about this thing from the internet - youtube etc.... Well, really hope that there is another season coming up very soon.... P/S: I also don't like the way CSI NY ends this season. It looks like there is no conclusion for what happened about the bank robbery case. What happened to the detective? I need a concrete ending....Okay, back to work ;oD

I received an email from my supervisor: Can you put together your chapter one and the one that you've designed earlier (entrepreneur's selection of the business model) and also your theoretical framework. I want to see how it fits. I send him an sms, asking him what exactly he wants: Do you want me to combine my chapter one with my earlier idea and also the theoretical framework? And he replied: Yes P/S: Blur....Can I do it? I've been thinking of sending him my Chapter 2 (not completed yet) tomorrow. Then I have to work on this. Come on Maya, you can do it....

Nak tulis sikit pasal drama Indonesia tajuk "Intan" nie....Aku start tengok cerita nie pun dah separuh jalan, tapi jadi asyik nak ikuti sambungannya. Tapi lama-lama jadi tension jugak, sebab jalan ceritanya slow sangat la....Kadang-kadang, dalam satu episod tue takde pergerakan jalan cerita langsung, asyik-asyik berbalik pada soal yang sama. Bila la drama nie nak habis.... Habis la cepat-cepat, pastu aku taknak ikut lagi apa cerita/drama baru Indonesia....Exception for CSI, season baru pasti dinantikan....Ada sapa2 yang tengok "Intan" jugak? Korang tension tak macam aku? P/S: Dengan drama pun nak tension, apatah lagi dengan real life....

Well, sudah semestinya ia amat berkait rapat....Time cuti sekolah la banyak wedding invitation....I'm off to JB for my cousin's wedding. I'll be away - from Thursday night until Saturday. My hubby will not be able to come with us because he has his work too - shooting for another wedding ceremony. I'll be joining my parents and my younger bro & sis (two of them) in this trip. The solemnization will be on Friday, the reception follows on the next day. We'll try to be there for both occasions, Insya-Allah. Before that, I need to submit another chapter of my work to my supervisor. Well, there's still no feedback from him on my previous work (Chapter 1). I know that he is very busy person, but sometimes I like the way he keeps on pushing me to do my work. Hope that he reads my chapter & provides me with some comments so that I can improve myself. Happy school holiday to my friends (yang jadi teacher la)....Till we meet again, tada....

I just wanna share my difficuty to find articles related to my study from the online library - particularly at universities in Malaysia. Not to mention that the server is very slow, not all of the articles are available in fulltext because most of the libraries did not have full access to the resources due to the subscription package they chose. In return, what we can access is only the abstract of the articles. Honestly speaking, this is one of the pitfalls of doing PhD in Malaysia. I hardly face this kind of problem when I was studying at Australia - everything you can get online, and it is very fast....I know the the subscription fees of online databases are very expensive, but it is very important for our country to improve on this in order to attract more foreign students to study here, to enroll in a research-based programs at local universities in Malaysia. However, I'm glad to have the opportunity to resume my study here in my own country after the "tragic incident...

It's Monday.... Time to work.... It's my sister's birthday....Happy birthday sweet-18, may all your wishes will come true....

Sapa2 ada idea nak masak apa today? Pagi tadi malas nak pergi pasar, so yang ada dalam fridge cuma sedikit udang & ayam (memang sikit sangat la)....Pastu my mum called, saying that my bro & family akan balik so kalau nak masak, kena la masak lebih sikit. Persoalannya, nak masak apa & apa yang nak dimasak (ada 2 research questions tak?)....Pening2.... Kawan2, bagi la idea....

I watched this movie again, for the second time. And still, nangis kat part yang sama. I've read the novel first, so masa baca pun dah nangis apatah lagi tengok ceritanya. Jalan cerita novel & movie ada sikit perbezaan, so for P.S I Love You, I love both the novel & movie. First time tengok movie nie, I went to the cinema with my best friend, Sabrina. Almost everyone watching this movie cried, especially masa part Holly called Gerry's phone number, just to hear his voice (voice mail). Sabrina told me she did the same thing when she lost her brother, the only younger bro for her. Well, banyak lagi parts yang boleh menyebabkan penonton menitiskan air mata. So, I would recommend everyone to watch this movie. I managed to make my hubby watched this movie too (mana dia layan romance movies, sebab tue masa nak tengok movie nie kat cinema dia bagi I pergi dengan Sabrina).... I got the novel - with this cover .... The movie's cover.... Ok, the review provided below is take...

This entry is just for fun - I can't explain properly in writing how several theories are connected to explain my main variable so I want to write something on what I like and what I don't like. Some of it are listed on the right hand site of this blog, but again, it's my blog so it's up to me if I want to repeat whatever I like ;oD I like shopping or "window shopping". It was once when someone I don't like called me "shopping list" - she saw us bought a lot of kitchenware (I bought Corelle on Boxing Day @ DFO, Brisbane) and suddenly a couple of days later when she met me & I was using my hs to recharge/reload the phone prepaid, she said "panjangnya shopping list" and I turned back at her and said "nie coupon recharge hs la" and I knew that my face is changing immediately and people who know me will know that it is a negative sign. My bad habit is, my face can't lie. Kalau tak suka sesuatu, it will show immediately. Te...

I feel sleepy today...I try to do my work but I can't concentrate. Well, let me share a poem from a movie called "SEPI". I love the movie, as well as the poem. Bulan jangan biar siang Biar alam ini kelam Biar ia sepi sepertiku Bisikku pada bulan Kembalikan temanku Kekasihku, syurgaku Tanpa dia malam menemaniku Sepi memelukku

I'm pretty busy....Busy with my proposal, busy entertaining my younger bro & sis (suka gaduh2 dua orang budak nie) while my parents are out-station (this is the second time we need to take care of them - walaupun tak susah mana sebab dua2 dah besar, tapi perangai memang tak mature lagi so agak tension jugak la).... My routines when my parents are out-station: wake-up at 6 am every morning & kejut adik2 (diorang suka iron baju pagi2 buta) perform Subh prayer buat apa2 yg patut for breakfast (tak buat apapun, suruh diorang makan roti & kaya @ minum susu) bagi duit sekolah, RM2 each my hubby drives them to school (ikut jugak pi hantar diorang) after settle2 apa yang patut, I'll start doing my PhD work @ my little office masak? masak untuk dinner jer sebab lunch, adik2 makan kat sekolah fardhu ain diorang & my hubby makan apa2 yang ada jer (makan kat luar @ maggi - am I lazy to cook? Yes, definitely...) malam - watching tv sambil lipat kain + baca artikel tido - nor...
