I Can Bring The Horse to the water, But I can't force the horse to drink the water

This semester is coming to an end. It is already October and examination will start on the third week of this month. This the hell time for the students with all the replacement classes and submission of projects and assignment are just round the corner. To all students, this normal in any student's life. Don't get panic. Just press on. The reward is you will get your holiday in November and December.

Yesterday, the online test using I-Learn is held. All is OK but of course, new thing for the students. It start a little bit slow, the progress and result are fantastic. But, there are some fail to take test. Even for part time students, there are some missing. For some unknown reason, they mysteriously disappear. Well! there will no back up test. Pity them, they are losing 20 marks out 100. They choose their own destiny.

As a lecturer, I try my best to accommodate all the shortcomings of the students but as I always said, I can bring the horse to the water but I can't force the horse to drink the water. I'm only a facilitator but it is up to the students to grab all the opportunities given.

Hari Rabu 22 Sept 2010

salam

Hari ini panas terik. Aku memang terasa bahang kepanasan walaupun berada dalam bilik berhawa dingin, mana taknya, bilik takde langsir. Ak baru je kembali bertugas hari Isnin setelah bercuti selama 2 minggu. Malang sekali, permohonan cuti aku telah tersalah tarikh, Aku pun heran, rasanya dah betul tarikh2 tu semasa memohon. Apapun, aku dah batalkan cuti tersebut dan memohon semula. Nasib baik boleh memohon semula. Apa pun kalau kena perlu dikenakan tindakan disiplin, redha je la.

Semalam memulakan perjalanan mengajar di kampus kota,KB. Kelas PLK. Keadaan kelas agak panas kerana air cond rosak tetapi aku takde hal sangat kerana semasa mengajar di Bangunan Akademik 3, Shah Alam, bilik kuliah langsung takde air cond. Abis mengajar terus pengsan je. Sekarang ini bertambah baik keadaan bilik kuliah dengan adanya air cond, LCD, komputer dan lain2 alat bantuan mengajar.

Esok ada perjumpaan dengan dekan FPM, Dr Laili. Jam 2.30 ptg. Semua wajib hadir. hmm hadir dan mendengar sahaja. Berdiam adalah lebih baik.

Apa pun, malam ni kena lagi ke kampus kota untuk meneruskan perjuangan. Kedai mamak kat Kok Lanas masih tutup, mungkin kena singgah kedai mamak kat KB kalau nak makan roti naan dan tandoori. Kena fikir ni, lama tak pekena dah...

Sixth day of Ramadan

Salam

It is the sixth day of Ramadan already. The clock is ticking so fast and we only realize another day has passed by when the night time arrive. I've my schedule full, to give lecture and advice to students on the matters pertaining to the subject. Another part me have to fulfill my responsibility to my family. Well! That is, I have to arrange and on the move all the time. Time will tell that all these will take tolls on me, but if I need to sacrifice my health for the happiness, so be it. For me, family will always come first in this world. Of course people will say how about Allah and Prophet Muhammad? Of course if they, I will readily give the answer, just go ahead and ask me...

To all, Ramadan is the month of good deeds, so grab it...

Monday's blues

What a beautiful Monday!!. I've done all the marking for IMD101 and IMD253 according the ISO standard as needed by UiTM. But I can't upload the mark to RES because the internet connection is down in my secluded area of block D, pity me.

I do hope the situation will be OK tomorrow or otherwise I have to bring the laptop to other area that could be connected using Intranet.

Another Plain Thursday

Another Thursday!! I'm hitting the country road again. Destination Petaling Jaya, Selangor. This has been my routine for several month. I don't travelling, it is part and parcel of my life.

While having breakfast just now, there two idiots questioning the reason, why I'm in Kelantan. Bloody hell!! My your own business, man. I would to mention to them, the world we know today is built by facts and figures. If we keep on listening to rumours and hearsay evidence, we will become stupid and losing generation. It is an open secret, Malays cannot progress because they love rumours and hearsay evidence. They act and react according to these. Well! To all Malays, wake up from your stupid slumber and move with the world.

Next week will be a testing week for me, have to finish everything by then..

Looking beyond...

Petang agak panas tetapi tidak sepanas semalam. Minggu ini adalah minggu terakhir kuliah. Esok akan bermula, study leave untuk semua pelajar (Well! ramai yg balik kampung, study kat sana kot). Life seperti biasa, tiada yang luarbiasa untuk dibicarakan. Normal driving dari KL (Kok Lanas) ke Machang. Cuma singgah di bandar Machang untuk mencari Majalah Asean Auto, tiada!!! telah habis dijual, beli lambat lagi.

So hari ramai yang mendapat berita mendapat jawatan yang lebih. Tahniah kepada yang berkenaan. Kepada yang lain, cuba lagi dan terus mencuba. Berita kemasukan ke IPTA juga dalam minggu ni or minggu depan. Untuk semua yang berkenaan, semak-semak la lama web KPT/MOHE.

Well! tomorrow there will be another round of the song...country road take me home, take me home...I belong to Petaling Jaya..

To all, all the best all of what your all trying to achieve. I just a call from my former student asking to give talk and handle a program in July. Well! For the sake of my beloved students (be former or present, I accepted the invitation). There is another program end of May in Kuantan, 3D 2N....Well busy me...

Panas lagi

Bermula daripada 4.30 petang semalam hingga hari ini semasa blog ni ditulis, tiada bekalan elektrik ke area tingkat 4, blok D. Semua kerja terbantut kerana terpaksa balik awal. Hari datang 7.15 pagi nak settlekan kerja, alih-alih elektrik masih takde. Semua ruang lain ada elektrik kecuali wing sebelah aku duduk tu. Ustaz Lokman pun takleh dok bilik dia, panas membara.

Tadi dah bagitau kat technician, dia kata nak hubungi kontraktor tapi entahlah. Harap2 semua settle coz, aku memang akan balik awal hari ni kalau elektrik masih takde.

Sehari lagi Sepanas

Salam

Dah 3 hari aircond problem. angin panas je yg keluar. kena le tabah dan cekal nak keje dalam suasana camni. Bak Kata Abang Duan, demi anak bangsa, apahal le takde aircond. betul tu. Perjuangan perlu diteruskan

Minggu depan dah study week untuk persediaan ke Final Exam yg bermula 18hb. April 2010. Kepada semua pelajar, all the best, study hard n smart. Ni bukan masa untuk melepak, game, chatting. Buang tu semua sekejap. Fikirkan masa depan.

Bulan Februari 2010

Salam

Sekarang dah 16hb Februari 2010. Masa begitu cepat berlalu. Umur aku dah melebih 46 tahun mulai 1 Feb 2010 hari tu. Sekarang bertugas di UiTM Machang, ianya membawa satu cabaran baru dalam dunia kerjaya aku. Bertugsas tak susah mana pun, maybe jarak perjalanan 500km dengan famili ada sedikit nostalgia tapi bukan merupakan satu masalah yang begitu besar hingga membolehkan kepala menjadi bengong. Dalam hidup ni, sedia kena ada adjustment and improvement. Allah beri kita akal untuk memikir dan menyelesaikan masalah, so gunakan ia sebaik mungkin.
