Kezzzzutan lagi...
Ari ni Abang Long buat kezzutan lagi. He brought back his Science result -the final test for the first term..Only 5 students in his class passed the paper and he is one of them!!.He got 71%. To him markah tu dah kira cam dasyat la tu sebab dia memang ada masalah ngan Math and Science. Last night, dia nampak semangat sikit buat Math, agaknya ada 1% keyakinan yang kalau dia fokus and usaha lebih dari orang lain he can get good grades too. Ok ..Abang Long...keep up the good work!!

First Publication
First publication is scheduled to be out this coming September..Pelik bunyi nye tu...nampak gayanya..first publication yang akan dibuat di Australia ni bukannya dari students PhD tapi dari budak Grade 8, Kent Street Senior High School...haaaaa...
Cite yang pelik tapi benar ni begini mulanya..Before term break ari tu, my first hero bawa balik borang and cakap dia nak masuk poem writing..nak tahu kenapa dia nak masuk???..heee..sebab hadiah utama adalah $1,000 and boleh pilih Apple Ipod Nano, Sony Digital Camera, Nintendo Wii or Nintendo DS Lite!!..Yang dia minat sgt tu Nintendo tu la...
At first we took it lightly, but then everyday dia cakap dia nak masuk..kebetulan during that time my mum is around.. My hubby and I plak tengah bz sesangat nak meet our due date..jadi bermula lah "projek nenek-cucu ni".. maka terhasillah sebuah short poem following all the syarat syarat..
Before nak hantar tu, I read through and make a very little adjustment such as spelling etc..Then my first hero pun isi borang sendiri and hantar through sekolah. Luckily that day when my hubby pegi ambik dia dari sekolah, tergerak hati nak tanya betul ke alamat yang dia tulis kat borang peraduan tu..then we found out yang dia dah tersalah tulis poskod..alamak masa tu dah pukul 3 lebih, diaorang habih sekolah pukul 2.45pm. At first, cakap ngan dia..biar je lah..Tapi bila memikirkan usaha nenek dia dalam projek tu, tak sampai hati plak and my first hero merayu suruh I pegi check kat school office.
We went to the office, after about 15 minutes mencari..rupanya borang permohonan dia dah dimasukkan ke dalam karung surat, and kerani tak nak cari sebab banyak sgt surat ..so end up Mama lah juga ..dekat 30 minutes gak check setiap satu surat dalam karung tu until jumpa..and betulkan alamat/poskod..
Then, all of us lupa lah pasal benda tu until today when we received a letter. Surat tu cakap result pertandingan akan difinalisekan pada bulan May nanti and kononnya poem (nenek &cucu) ni dah terpilih untuk dipublishkan dalam sebuah buku "World of Words" yang akan diedarkan ke seluruh Australia. Buku tu dijadualkan keluar this September. Hari ni my first hero kena bagi signature untuk kebenaran pihak pertandingan untuk publishkan poem tersebut but he still hold the copyright of the poem...
Kami semua terkejut including the team members (nenek & cucu)...He has signed the form tapi masih terkejut lagi..I cakap ..tak apalah just wait this September..We will get a copy of that book.
Yang kelakarnya dia lebih concern pasal Nintendo tu..dia risau dia tak akan menang Nintendo..bab bab publication ni..dia tak kisah pun...tak apalah..nanti dia dah besar and matang may be dia faham erti sebuah "publication"..heeee

My New Sifu
Last week I have been informed that I need to work with another Sifu. Why? because the things that I am doing now has been far way diverted from my original proposal. So my current Sifu (who is working closely with me) feel that it is necessary to include another "brain" especially to check on my theoretical aspects of my research.
My current Sifu is a very "quantitative" person and I think we have something in common. However, the new Sifu is a "qualitative" person. At first, I was quite worry in case she want me to change my methodology. But.. lucky me, my curent Sifu vetoed the suggestion made by my new Sifu. As for today, he said I do not have to make any major adjustment to my proposal except trying to find a shorter version of the questionnaire for one of the constructs and I need to prepare the relevant slides for the coming presentation. Harap harap, things goes as plan..bukan apa..komen dari kenkawan yang berguru ngan my new Sifu...they said she is very very good BUT she also has a very "high" expectation...emmmmmm....Taaakkuuuutnye...

Influenza vaccination
Today kami sefamily pergi ambik influenza vaccination. My hubby bayar $20 for each of us except J-Lo. This vaccine is given free to all children age 5years and below. Then, I found out MMR pun free gak. So my second hero pun ambik le MMR. Kat Msia this immunisation is optional and those yang nak ambik kena bayar. Mahal gak rasanya. As for my first hero, he missed yang kena ambik kat Msia masa umur 12 tahun tu, so today dia pun ambik la gak. Dah free..apa lagi..ambik je..Jadi the two heroes kena 2 injections la..heeee..
The doctor informed me that this vaccines tak halang kita dari kena "common cold" cuma dia akan tolong hindarkan kita dari kena influeza yang teruk. Tak apalah, kira macam ikhtiar le and preparation untuk coming winter in June.Harap harap bebudak tu tak demam le...kalau demam..teruk le mamanya....
Specially for K Chik..
Jeng !..Jeng!..Jeng... this posting is specially dedicated to K chik.. thanks for sending me the recipes..this is my first experiment..Apam Gula Hangus..
The end product kira ok le gak for people like me yang memang "amat mahir" dalam buat kueh kueh ni...heeee..
Rasanya emmmm..yummylicious!!! cuma rupanya je tak bole dapat full mark..rongga-rongga tak berapa cantik.. Then bila di"postmortem"kan..may be because I changed the methodology of doing this apam.. Actually, I need to kukus this apam but since tak ada kukusan and due to the time constraint ...I baked it...haaaa...
Rupanya buat kueh pun cam buat research gak...kalau tak betul methodology..hasilnya tak berapa excellent leee... luckily, the methodolgy does not effect the taste at all..only the texture of the apam...
So k chik .. ada lagi 99 recipes tu...sempat ke cuba selama 4 tahun ni...heeee..

Sedih
It has been three days since I received the e-mail. The content of that email tak menarik benor bunyi nye. Tapi, bila difikir fikir balik may be ini lah yang ku doakan selama ini.
Untuk mempositifkan keadaan yang sedih amat tu, ari ni aku dah decide malas nak fikir fikir lagi. Proceed with whatever I have done so far and doa muga Allah buka hati org yang berminat ngan benda yang aku tengah buat nih cepat cepat bagi positive answer..
Cuma sekarang ni pun rasa sedih lagi..sebabnye..benda yang dibaca ni rasa macam berbelit je...sepagi aku dok mengadap article ni..rasanya keupayaan aku untuk paham bahasa org puteh ni idak le teruk sangat..segala macam test English aku dah ambik pun...dari zaman sekolah sampai tua ni...English 1119, 161, 160, IELTS..itu belum lagi filem filem org puteh yang aku dok nganga nengok sepanjang hayat aku ni...belum lagi novel org puteh yang aku dok kepit sebelum tidur...ishh..sian kat cikgu English aku kalau gini le tahap pemahaman aku...
jadi untuk tidak mengecilkan hati cikgu cikgu English aku tu..aku rasalah..masalah untuk memaham article yang satu ni...yang dari "subuh shafie" aku dok belek ni adalah disebabkan cuaca Perth yang tidak menentu..huaaaaaa...sedihnya ari ni...

The meeting
Last night Prime Minister dah "angin" habih tentang performance menteri menteri cabinetnya.Jadi Timbalan PM dah dipanggil/dikejutkan untuk meeting ..Extraordinary meeting lah..segala ketidakpuasan hati PM terhadap prestasi 3 org menteri kabinetnya telah pun dicurahkan dgn penuh "semangat kesukanan" terhadap Timbalan PM.
PM telah menyarankan Timbalannya untuk mengambil corrective actions terhadap 3 org menteri tersebut including menteri yang paling junior. Masalah utama yang PM bentangkan adalah ketidakpuasan hati beliau terhadap disiplin ketiga tiga menteri. Academic performance 2 menteri yang senior juga dipertikaikan. Kedua dua menteri telah didapati tidak menjalankan tanggungjawab mereka dengan serius jika dibandingkan dgn kemudahan dan kelebihan yang telah dan sedang mereka nikmati.
Jadi, menyambut seruan PM, maka hari ini Timbalan PM telah memulakan beberapa langkah drastik untuk memastikan berlaku perubahan prestasi bagi ketiga tiga menteri dibawah seliaan beliau. Tempoh masa yang diberi oleh PM untuk menilai semula prestasi ketiga tiga menteri beliau adalah 3 bulan (cepat dari PM baru Msia..nampaknya). PM juga turut mengingatkan beliau akan juga memantau secara peribadi prestasi Timbalan PM dalam mengatasi masalah disiplin ketiga tiga menteri tersebut.
Berita Terkini melapurkan kedua dua menteri yang senior berada di dalam keadaan tidak stabil apabila langkah drastik pertama iaitu menarik balik keistimewaan (playstation)telah dilancarkan hari ini. Mereka telah berpadu tenaga untuk membuat rayuan diatas tindakan drastik yang diambil. Namun PM telah memutuskan untuk tidak melayan sebarang bentuk rayuan buat ketika ini. Bagi pihak Timbalan PM pula, beliau menegaskan yang beliau terikat dengan arahan PM dan kelulusan untuk memberi balik keistimewaan tersebut diluar bidang kuasanya.
Pada ketika ini ketiga tiga menteri (dgn muka boring)sedang menonton slot "hantu klewon" dari TV3 untuk mengisi waktu rehat mereka..

Abang Long ooooo..Abang Long
Today is the last day of Term 1. My two heroes will have a two weeks holiday. Last week we (my hubby and I) went for parents-teachers day (cam hari ambik report kad masa kat Msia). Here, the event took place at school's gymnasium. Earlier, the school distributed the performance report together with the appointment card to the parents. Parents kena buat appoinment le nak jumpa cikgu mana on that day.
As for my first hero, overall performance seems ok.. He is adjusting pretty well. As expected, his main problems still with Math and Science. Results yang menakutkan je bila bab Math and Science...Macam mana nak buat ek?? Nak kata dia tak pandai English, English ok..agaknya kalau soalan Math and Science tu tulis dalam Jepun pun dia faham soalan kot..tapi bila bab application..HANCUSSS!!!..Next year dah nak exam (macam PMR kalau kat Msia le)...Stress betul ngan my first hero ni...
Cuma another interesting part about him, cikgu craft (kalau kat Msia -cikgu lukisan la kot) dia ni puji betul my first hero..She said he is very talented and siap tunjukkan Portfolio my first hero..Both of us terkejut..bila nengok Portfolio dia..My husband siap tanya lagi, Are these Naqib's work?? Memang mengkagumkan!!
Rupanya kat sini , art class tu ada theme . Contohnya the first 2 weeks ,theme "supeheroes". Jadi bebudak akan lukis all superheroes that they like most. Then, they move to another theme like "fish". Jadi for 3,4 weeks bebudak ni dok lukis pelbagai ikan..start with the simple ikan(ikan seekor) sampai lah dolphin dok berenang. The latest theme yang I tengok dalam portfolio tu is about "dragon". Pelbagai bentuk dragon ada...
Kalau ditengok ke lukisan lukisan my first hero tu..memang mengkagumkan..for his age to come out with that kind of drawing..cikgu dia pun cakap, she thinks Naqib bole jadi a very good artist..
CUMA..yang merisaukan I..nak jadi artist ke apa ke ..Math and Science nak kena pass dulu...nak masuk Seni Lukis & Seni Reka UiTM pun you need to have good results for your SPM or equivalent...huaaaaaa...Abang Long..wake up!!!..
