Rojak basi

Title entry kali ini adalah rojak basi.. kerana ia mengandungi pelbagai cerita yang dirojakkan dan yang telah basi. Rojak sebab macam2.. basi sebab citer dah lama....

Trip to USM

Last 3 weeks me and hubby went to USM. Just the two of us. I needed to se my supervisor. At first ingat nak bawak the kiddos sebab cuti sekolah. Tapi bila memikirkan cuaca yang panas terlampau, so we thought baiklah budak2 tu tinggal kat rumah nenek. We stayed at USM Guest House. Mula2 takut nak duduk situ sebab dulu2 selalu dengar cerita ala-ala keliwon kat guest house tu.. Tapi hari tu pergi, ternyata semua kisah keliwon itu adalah dongengan semata2. Sementara kat sana sempat jumpa Dr Azizan Marzuki & AR Najib aka Jibon. Tumpang seronok tengok kawan2 sekarang yang sudah ada additional alphabets before their names. Bagus jugak hubby jumpa Najib.. dia nampak cam inspired nak continue Part III after sembang2 with Najib. I've always wanted hubby to pursue his professional course to the most ultimate level, cause I know he can do it. He was awarded as one of the best Architecture students for the whole of Malaysia by Persatuan Arkitek Malaysia. Sangat sayang if he just stay at the current position je.....

My meeting with supervisor.. hmm... okay2 ajelah. I thought I've done so much but after meeting him rasa cam lagiiiiii banyakkkkk benda nak buat. Went to see my ex-lecturer, ex-supervisor and ex-boss, Dr Bada after that. He's now the Deputy Dean of IPS. Peliklah tengok Dr Bada ni.. orang lain makin lama makin tua.. but dia maintainnn je... In fact he looks so much younger. Hmm.. pasti ada sesuatu... Before i left, Dr Bada asked me "You ada Facebook tak?"... I was like terkejut and replied "Dr.. don't tell me you also terjebak in FB.."... He giggled.. It's a global pandemic indeed.....

Data collection

Last Monday, there was this program Bantahan Awam for Subang Jaya Local Plan held at MPSJ. This program is very important to my study. I need to interview both the organizer and the participants of the program. Since the program just started last week, so baru last week dapat buat interview. So far, i have done two interviews. One with NGO rep, and the other one with MPSJ Planning Officer. The one with NGO rep went well, the respondent was like dictating his responses to me. Managed to get it done in half an hour aje. But the second interview was sooooo challenging. I interviewed this one officer yang namanya sama dgn nama ayah saya. Actually it was not a perfect time to have the interview with him as that time the program was still on and he was the person responsible in making the program went smoothly. But I sangat malas nak pegi MPSJ banyak2 kali, so I just requested to have the interview there and then. He was a bit hesitant at first, but I guess the fact that he shares the same name with my father berjaya melembutkan hati dia. He..he... tapi memang mencabar betul nak interview mamat sorang ni cause he was always on the run. elok2 tengah jawab soalan, tiba2 kena layan walkie talkie la.. kena layan tetamu-tetamu (read: pembantah-pembantah) yang datang, kena layan orang2 bawahan dia yang always waiting for his order. So I kept recording and pausing the voice recorder. But okay lah.. dia jawab la semua soalan-soalan tu.

I have already transcribed the interviews. oh sangat jemu buat kerja transcribing ni... I was so sick listening to my own voice. I wanted to sound clear and at the same time professional, but sudahnya.. hubby said macam cikgu tadika. I have another 7-8 interviews to be made. Hope everything can be done before the fasting month begins.

18 weeks down, 22 more weeks to go.

I think I'm about 18 or weeks pregnant already. Feel so guilty for not really keeping track. Dulu masa pregnant Shad, tiap2 hari ku kira.. he..he... Now if people ask me how far is my pregnancy, I'll be like.. umm.... 4 months plus kot. I'm so sorry my baby, not keeping track does not mean that i love you less. Ibu dah tualah sayang.. brain cells dah banyak mati.. It's hard for me to remember every detail. At 15 plus weeks of pregnancy, all four of us went to the clinic to do ultrasound. I was so surprised to see that my baby dah cukup lengkap semua dengan kaki tangan. The last time I did the ultrasound was on 21st April 2009 (I can never forget this date, the date my friend arwah Zul Azman had his last breath), baby masa tu was so tiny we couldn't see anything, cuma nampak jantung dia bergerak2. But this time nampak dah rupa baby tu. We saw him/her kicking, at one point he/she was like moving those little fingers. Terkejut sangat sampai terlupa nak tanya Dr boy ke girl.... Really looking forward to see the baby again sometime in mid or end of this month.

This pregnancy is really special because it mean so much not only to me and hubby, but also to our two boys. They boys just can't wait for the arrival of the baby. But sometime I wonder camnalah Rizq ni nak ada adik. He's so manja to us and loves being pampered. He loves sitting on my lap and he calls himself adik.

Shad's Report Card

Last Monday I went to Shad's school to collect his report card. Alhamdulillah, his overall marks and grades have improved eventhough his position in class drop from 5th position to the 10th position. For the whole darjah satu, he got the 11th place. Competition is very stiff among them I must say. The student who got the 1st position in the whole darjah got 98%, and Shad got 93%. He got 11A+s and 2 As. Those 2As were for his Seni and Computer papers.

Okaylah.. dah habis cerita Rojak basi.
