Wow! It's been hectic all the way since I came back to Bangi on Wednesday. Spent most of yesterday going around KL.. meeting up with people I haven't seen in a long time. Had lunch with Pn Kamariah, who, from being the academic advisor for our degree program, is now a colleague teaching in the same university. Then I went on to the NST because I told Hisham I wanted to see him before I went off.. also managed to see Auntie Fati, Arni and Alam who managed to offset the effects of a receding hairline with a nice pair of glasses - he actually looked a bit more intelligent than usualWednesday, October 23Also managed to pop down to Kinokuniya KLCC to get something to read
Today I managed to make Fisz take the day off to go shopping with me.. hehehe.. we had to drop by to Taman Maluri first to return the Mr Accounting books (with the correct amount of money, this time!).. then called Ima at Maybank to ask her to join us for lunch.. then we came back to Bangi and I went to get my glasses done. Will be going out again tonight with Ramzi & Co. as a farewell thingi.
I do have a few issues and reflections I want to jot down right now, but am a bit pressed for time. Perhaps I'll be able to when I get back tonight, Insyaallah. Failing that, tomorrrow, because I am not expected at Izie's until 2pm tomorrow!

Ya Allah Ya Tuhanku,Hari ini aku bersyukur kepadaMu kerana:
selama setahun Kau pelihara perjalananku pergi dan kembali ; sentiasa dalam keadaan sempurna pergi dan sampaiku selama setahun Kau berikan aku kekuatan untuk terus melangkah walaupun aku tidak mampu melihat penghujung jalan selama empat bulan Kau teguhkan semangatku menempuhi dugaan yang lahir dan yang batin selama empat bulan Kau kurniakan aku kesempurnaan akal untuk melawan musuh musuh tersirat selama setahun Kau anugerahkan aku kesabaran untuk menjadi laskar dalam percaturan orang lain selama dua puluh lima tahun Kau tidak lupakan aku, walaupun aku sering kali lalai dengan tanggungjawabku kepadaMu Ya Allah Ya Tuhanku
Aku bersyukur atas rezeki yang Kau kurniakan kepadaku
Aku memohon rezeki yang lepas Kau halalkan, rezeki yang ada Kau kekalkan, dan rezeki yang akan datang Kau limpahkanAmin

At 1500 hours I drove my trustee steed out of the campus compound. At approximately 1744 hours, my trustee steed was steered into our driveway in Bandar Baru Bangi. I thought this day would never come; but it finally is here. No more having to wake up pre-dawn on Monday mornings to brave Bukit Putus and Keratong. No more playing hide and seek wanting to leave the office an hour or two earlier on Friday. No more having to go to sleep at 2100 hours on Sunday night in fear of being drowsy during the next morning's drive. No more counting the days till Friday. No more Muadzam Shah :)
For the next 3 years, at least.

Okie dokie. Finally managed to put the links up onto the web. For those of you who are on that list and are wondering in what order of preference I put you in, well, it was the order in which you stumbled onto my web and signed my guestbook. So it is is guestbookological order. OK?

Finally, a few seconds to myself. The room is on the verge of being emptied. I've segregated everything according to where they go - back to the students, to other lecturers, or into my car. All that is left to do is to pick them up and send them where they belong. (Easier said than done, of course).The weekend, as my blog can attest, was not the best. Spent most of it recuperating; am gladly better now - to all the well-wishers, thanks for your kind thoughts. Apparently, in my absence yesterday, there was another break in. This time during the day. Of course, nothing was done. Because nothing was stolen and no one was hurt. Oh well. They can carry on their nonchalant attitude regarding all this. This will sound infinitely selfish, but I'm glad I'll be gone. Usually I'll be the gung ho, stand-up-for-your-rights-person, and I'll do the standing up for you and me and everyone in between. But I've lost it since July, and things have made me grown older in an irreversible way.
But there is little to gain from dwelling on the past; so we'll move on.

I managed to drag myself to the computer to make good of my vow to write in this blog every day..Naah, really, I'm feeling a lot better than what I was feeling on Friday night. Spent the whole of yesterday vegetating in front of the TV.. managed to watch Cool Runnings twice, Loser twice (three times if you count the time I saw it last week), Double Jeopardy, American Beauty (on VCD), Ada Apa Dengan Cinta - after reading Fajar's promo, a couple of sitcoms, Leeds United vs Liverpool and Everton's 16 year old Wayne Rooney puncturing Arsenal's unbeaten run in between United's shameful visit to Loftus Road (to play Fulham, not QPR). Glad to hear that ARSEnal are no longer unbeaten - Seaman must still be having post-Macedonian nightmares; but Everton fans may not be too glad to know that their beating Arsenal allowed Liverpool to go on top.
Wayne Rooney, Superstar...A lot of the things I planned to do over the weekend went to pot after falling sick - my bedroom still looks like a typhoon hit it ; my books are still in the car boot; the updating of this website has still not yet gone as planned.. ahh well.. Allah knows best. I am still feeling a tad dizzy.. perhaps due to the soft-food only diet that I am on, plus it's that time of month.. so lack of food and blood loss don't go well together.. my mum wants me to take tomorrow off.. if it wasn't for my mom I wouldn't; but there is always this thing about mothers and being obedient to them.. I don't know if it's a Malay thing or a Malaysian thing or a Muslim thing.. but when Mak says Jangan.. you'd better not..
