Handling stress

Aslmualaikum.
Well, I'm not a motivator like Dato' Dr. Fadzilah Kamsah.haha. Just want to share here, that sometimes I can't handle my stressfulness. I think that's because of me myself. Why? I'm the one who created the stress. Why? (Why again.haha), My biggest weakness in myself is I always procrastinate. I hate procrastinate! But, in the end, I'm the one who did it.

Why I'm saying all of these? Well, that's because now I'm stuck in the middle of career and study.
I have a few tasks that need to be done by the end of this year, and the beginning of the new semester.
For study matters, I have TWO presentations which I haven't done anything about it yet. No preparations at all. The presentation will be held next week on Monday and Tuesday. I just got back from Shah Alam to attend a workshop and I don't have time to think about the assignments. But, it is my fault actually because the lecturers already gave me all the assignments at the early semester (September). See? I don't want to to this but, yet I'm the one who procrastinate a lot. Watching anime, mingle around, doing other things, attending weddings, and so on. Sometimes I'm also stuck between my family and my career+ study.

For me, it is a sign from ALLAH that I should remember HIM more because ALLAH will not give the challenge if HE does not love me as HIS servant. I should do more Tahajjud, Recite Al-Quran, and do the worshiping things more than before. Forgive me ALLAH for always doing LAGHA things. I really want to repent.....T_T(Suddenly sad and want to cry).... ALLAH, please guide me through  your path....

I think that's all for now..Thanks for reading....

It is the end of 2012

Aslmualaikum...

Again, I left my blog again due to some obstacles which I couldn't resist. There's so much I want to say here, but I'm not a person who can write spontaneously. I have to arrange my ideas properly so that the readers can understand what I'm trying to say. If not, I feel I'm just talking crap here.haha...Kidding.

Career

I've been almost three years here teaching and sometimes I feel I don't belong here. I couldn't catch up and sometimes demotivated. I don't know what happen to me, but I'm trying to fix it. I can't be like this. I have to be strong, thinking about my family,as I'm the breadwinner of the family. 
I have to accept whatever tasks given to me and do the best for those tasks. Next week, I'll be fly to KL, for a Workshop. 2 days. 2 days mean I have to postpone the lecture class and replace it. What a busy semester for me. The Diploma has just started and I don't feel like I'm ready again for struggling to finish the lecture, to finish the chapters. But, I'm praying to ALLAH, to give me strength. ALLAH....Please help me...

Study

I'm currently studying while working. Part time. I tell you, once you decide to study while working, the challenges are very different than when you are a full time student. Sometimes I'm just like living in a two world. Teaching. Studying. When the sun rises, I'm a teacher. When the sun sets down, I'm a student. I know, most of the people manage to finish their studies even they can face the hardest situation within the career and study. Well, actually the reason why I decide to study as a part time is because, our top management cannot let me go to Aussie. We a re in a short of lecturers teaching economics here. My teaching hours also above the maximum level. Luckily I can claim the overtime. With assignments, tasks, I'm saying to myself, that I can do this. Most of my friends manage to finish this.


I'm just stuck within two paths here. Not because I'm weak, maybe I'll just need to boost myself and pray harder to ALLAH to give me more strength to face all the obstacles and challenges.


Will write again. Gosh I need to brush up my writings again.I need to finish my Mini Research or Mini Thesis Assignment, and prepare for my Proposal.

Yours Sincerely,

Roxanne ^_^

Messy life

Aslmualaikum.

I know I've always ignoring this blog where I made a promise I will write everyday here. But, This is me. LAZINESS is still killing me softly. Besides, my time constraint and bla bla bla. All sorts of excuses. :P

Last Friday, I'm officially registered as a postgrad student. well, studying at local uni was my last choice but I believe, ALLAH has prepared a proper plan for me. (Ignore my grammatical error). I'm doing my Master part time, so that means I'm working while studying, eh...I'm studying while working. whatever it is, you got what I mean right?

Hmm..still improving myself. But the most awkward moment when you are trying to improve, things suddenly getting worse and you ask why and why. I still can't find the answer but at the same time, I'm trying hard to improve myself. I know, without detecting the root of the problem, how can I solve + improve myself right? Rambling again. sorry.

After this, I will start my life as a part time student and I hope ALLAH will guides me through HIS way and give me strength to finish my study on time, on the track. I don't want to be a loser again (bad experience during my SPM). I just want to be better day by day. As an educator, I have to show my students that we have to struggle in everything we do, not just hoping something fall from the sky, or just waiting for the Mr. Successful comes to fetch us. We have to chase the Successful and hold it tightly.

Until I write again. Thank you. Oh ya, btw, I'm trying to finish a new novel which I bought last week. still buying novel even I'm already broke because of the raya over-spending.sigh.

Yours Sincerely,

Roxanne^_^

Laziness is killing me

Aslmualaikum :)

I hope all of you are in a good condition.

This time I really don't have much to say, even I know, deep in my heart I want to share anything here in this blog. I'm just so lazy and I don't know why. Maybe because of too much things gyrated in my mind, my neurons become confused on what should I do, which one I should do first. I'm trying to solve my personal problem, but yet it's getting harder day by day.

Will write again next time. Thank you.

Aidilfitri Mode ~~~

Aslmualaikum to all of the readers out there...

Today is the 5th day of Syawal. I've been away from this blog since my last post before the raya right.hehe. Well, maybe I need some time to think, mingle, searching around the ideas to write. As far as I know, I'm not an idealistic person.hoho...Seems I'm not using the right word to describe. never mind. I'm still learning.hehe

My raya this year? I don't feel the raya mode actually, well maybe because of some family conflict which distracted my mind from celebrating this raya. But, I do feel a little bit of raya by visiting relatives' house on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd raya. And yesterday was our turn to invite all the relatives for our Open House. :) Feeling exhausted until yesterday night although the people keep coming in until 10pm. My head already feel the hint of Migraine, but I just swallowed the Actifast which given by my mom and fall asleep not long after that.

Another story, tomorrow, my IELTS result will be out and I don't have the feeling of nervous at all. Not because I'm confident but I just...I don't know, It feels like I'd spent my money for something that not worth it. I'm saying this because, I already decided to withdraw the scholarship and prepared for the registration of the local university here, in part time mode. Understandably when I said part time mode, I will be studying while working. I hope I can do my best, struggle to the best and I hope, success will always on my side. I know, it will be difficult to divide and manage the time between studying and working but, most of my friends can do that, so why not I?

So, now, I'm concentrating on preparing for the registration despite my head is spinning when I see the fee structure.haha...Of course it is expensive for a people like me but I hope I can pay my enrollment fee on time before the final exam.

Wish me luck :)

Yours Sincerely,
Roxanne ^_^

Harness the power of words

Aslmualaikum to all of you...

I only write here when I have anything to say. But I think that is not enough for me to enhance my way of writing especially in English. Actually I got my entry title above from a book which I bought last year,"AWESOME VOCABULARY by Becky Burckmyer".I tried to pronounce her name correctly without folding my tongue.(just kidding). I'm telling you the same story every time I write here right? Well, it's not that i don't have any idea to write, it's just hard for me to practice and I need a peaceful environment to call for the ideas and points to elaborate. I've been practicing my English through this blog, bought some useful books, novels and speaking English to myself because I can't speak a proper English with my friends. well, actually I can, but the problem is my confidence in English. I always read in English, listening to an English radio station everyday,and the result, I can understand every single word they are talking but, my new problem is I can't apply what I've learnt before. I don't know how to explain but this problem is really disturbing me to perform well in English.

I watched Oh My English this early morning and I found it is really useful for me to watch it every week to detect the common errors when speak in English, such as "PASS UP YOUR HOMEWORK", I just knew that it was wrong to tell your students like that.haha.pity me. Actually, the right word to replace the "PASS UP" is "HAND IN". hoho.Thanks Astro for this spectacular programme for us.

I'm thinking of preparing a title for every post in my blog so that I can practice and can write about anything here, not just saying the same thing which can make the readers bored to death.haha

Ok, I think that's all for today, gonna watch our Badminton star, Dato' Lee Chong Wei to perform with his famous enemy and friend at the same time, Lin Dan, the 1st ranking world badminton player from China.

Yours sincerely,
Roxanne^_^

Oh My IELTS...

Aslmualaikum to everyone...

Happy Fasting...woah...today is the 15th day of Ramadhan, which means we are already fasting about 15 days! How about your Ramadhan my fellow friends? Are you improving? Did you reflect yourself during this holy month? Well, this month only comes to us once in a year, so like previous post, I would be glad to emphasize here, we should grab the rewards from ALLAH as much as we can! For those who are still crawling to improve, keep it up! And please be sincere in whatever you do, leave it to ALLAH, have faith in ALLAH.

Fuhh..done for this week! COMMON TEST, ISTIADAT PENGANUGERAHAN, marking, etc... Let's struggle for the next week! be optimist and positive. (I was infected by the Oh My English virus. I love to see their enthusiasm to learn English, and their optimist teacher Mr Henry Middleton).

I will be sitting for my IELTS exam on 11th August 2012 (Saturday). I don't know what to say, I don't have much time to prepare, I'll just pray, hoping for ALLAH to ease my exam. I really hope that I can get a good result for IELTS. I'm not aiming a high band for this, because I know my weaknesses and I know I'm not so good in English. I tried so hard to correct my grammar and add up my vocabularies. My problem is I have a short term memory, so when I try to remember the complicated words, I just can remember the meaning of the words that time, after that it will gone like wind. I don't know why. Another problem is I can't apply the words for my everyday speaking such as in class, or even writing in my blog. Maybe I should build up a schedule to learn in English (Grammar, Writing, Listening, Speaking).

Good night peeps. Gotta chat with someone first.:)

Yours Sincerely,
Roxanne^_^

August 2012

Aslmualaikum and hello to everybody...

Sorry for not updating this blog. I've been a little bit busy these days. As busy as the bees. Besides, I don't have time to write something here, I just can read other people's blog and then get back to work. Well, this week will be the most busiest week because my students will be having their test today and tomorrow.
So for today, their COMMON TEST  for MICROECONOMICS will be held at the Al-Bukhari Hall at 2.15pm. I hope they can answer well in the test.
Tomorrow, there will be another COMMON TEST for MACROECONOMICS at the same venue, which will be start at 9am.
Last Monday and Tuesday, I'm attending the Istiadat Kecemerlangan for Diploma students. I'm one of the AJK for the ceremony so of course I have to postpone the classes but I have to replace the class later. Most of my students are listed as the award receiver. I'm so proud of them. But one thing that made me surprise was their manners when receiving the award from our beloved Director or the official name is Rector. Some of them just like want to snatch the certificate and walk like nothing happen. Some of them smiling like the fish (lol), some of them (maybe nervous) did not say anything even a "Thank You". Luckily our beloved rector is a calm person and understanding. Some of their actions tickles my heart and make me laugh.haha (naughty me).
Nevertheless, I hope they can improve their manners and attitude in the future.

Besides all my works thingy, I feel so nervous, nerves-wrecking, shaking combine altogether because next week I will be sitting for my IELTS. I know that my English is not that good, but I will try my best and do some preparations to sit for the exam. I'd spent more than RM500+ for this exam.I hope it worth. May ALLAH guides me.Aamiin.:)

Yours Truly,
Roxanne^_^

Understanding and to be understood

Aslmualaikum.

Happy fasting to everyone. Today is the 4th day of Ramadhan which means our 4th day of fasting. Rewards from Allah during this month is unlimited, let's grab all the rewards by doing good deeds to others, read the Quran more often than before, don't forget to go to Solat Terawih, and Tahajjud as well. I'm not saying that we only can do all these ibadah during Ramadhan, of course we have to maintain our Iman all the time, even we have to increase our level of Iman everytime. I'm trying to say that Ramadhan gives us more opportunity to inculcate our Iman because the rewards are more than doubled and this is not the usual month for the Muslim community. So, let's muhasabah ourselves during this blessing month.

Well, back to the main topic. UNDERSTANDING AND TO BE UNDERSTOOD. Both give us different meanings but they must come together. Obviously, I'm referring to the relationship. Not just husband and wife, but friendship as well. Life as a "university teacher" is not as simple as people can say. Most of their time will be spent in campus. Unlike the "school teacher", if there is no extra class, no curricular activities, they can go home as early as 1.00 PM everyday. So, what qualities must the teachers have? Facing the students everyday, the staffs, even the outsiders. What do you expect? I have more than 100 students per semester to be handled. Do you expect for me to ignore them and just enter the class for teaching? no time for jokes? no time to listen to their problems? no time to reply their calls or messages? Students are our priority. We have to treat them as our siblings, or if we are much older than them, we have to treat them as our kids, they still need guidance from us. Someone told me, don't too LAYAN the students. I'm not, i know the boundaries between me and the students. I have to create the gap. That's the rule. Ahh, I forgot. Understanding and to be understood must supported by TRUST too. If you don't trust he or she, how can you understand her or his career? nature of their career? Sorry for being emotional this early morning. Forgive me ALLAH.

Yours Sincerely,

Roxanne.

Ramadhan is around the corner ^_^

I can't believe Sya'aban is coming to an end, which means, Ramadhan is on its way either this Friday or Saturday! ^_^ I'm so excited to wait for Ramadhan <3

My schedule, hectic as always. IELTS Preparation, Classes, Meetings, Tests, all in one. I hope I can  handle all these stuffs well.

I don't have much to say but I really hope, I can achieve all my dreams.

Thank you for your inspiring speech Tan Sri.

Yours Sincerely,

It's weekend already...

Aslmualaikum...

Time flies so fast until i realized that today is Saturday already,in the second week of July. Next week all the Muslims will be celebrating the fasting month. For me, I've been waiting for the Ramadhan to come every year. ALLAH had made this month so special to us the Muslims. Honestly I'm not excited for the Syawal or Hari Raya, I only anxiously waiting for this holy month, RAMADHAN. I hope I can do my best to grab the thousands of REWARDS from ALLAH...

Currently I'm waiting for the offers from our local universities to continue my studies. I really hope that I can further my studies THIS YEAR. ^_^

Despite all the things happen in my life, I feel so blessed by ALLAH when HE gives more opportunity and space for me to improved. Thank you ALLAH for your guidance all this time. And Thank you ALLAH for giving me such a lovely family and friends. I hope this will last forever till jannah.

Thank you for reading. Have a blessed day ahead.

Toothache =_=

Aslmualaikum.

I'm suffering a toothache now. Just now, I calculated my teeth (silly me.hahahah). When I finished calculating my beloved teeth, I'm flabbergasted! You know why? Currently I have only 31 teethes! (Well, I supposed to have 32 teeth already because I'm mature enough.haha) So that means I'm suffering this toothache because of one growing teeth. huhuhu...It makes me feel awkward when talking...:'(

So now, what's the thing I want to highlight here? It's definitely not related with the title actually. Well, you know I've mentioned before that my weakness is to put a TITLE for anything, even a THESIS. hahaha (I should overcome this problem myself). I just want to tell you that I had already registered for my IELTS exam which dated on:

10th August 2012 (Friday)     : Speaking Test
11th August 2012 (Saturday) : Writing Test

YA ALLAH, Please help to get the best result for my IELTS. Aamiin...

So, now, I have to prepare and must struggling to get the flying colors result.

I'm confused now. I'm in a great dilemma. Should I go overseas or just continue my studies here? Only ALLAH knows what's the best for me.

Yours Sincerely,




Roxanne^_^

Post-Interview

Aslmualaikum.

I don't really know whether I can get the scholarship or not. I think I can't handle my interview very well and I can say that my interview yesterday was sucks.(Sorry for the bad word). But, after I get out from the interview room, I feel like I wanna crying. I wait for a moment and then I drove to my office. I smsed my boss, saying that I could not answer well for my interview and the interviewer might had succeeded in his provocative manner. He asked me what happen to my first attempt in applying the scholarship? I was like...WHAT? You are the one who interviewed me at that time and you gave me the HOPE, and then you ask me what happen? Instead, he asked me back, "Did I interviewed YOU? OH MY...I feel like wanna faint in front of the interview panels. I don't know whether this is the way you make me speak, the way you wanna know my answer, or the way you want to know my respond. But I don't think it is nice for a professional interviewer to make the interviewee hurts by unexpected and ridiculous questions. Bureaucracy. He also asked me, why I should go to overseas when I can finished my studies here. Should I ask him the same thing? If you want to be respected, stop torturing your subordinates. You are my big boss, I know. but please, don't misuse what you have now. You might happy now for hurting others but you'll never know what will happen in the future when you step down from your "THRONE".

Behind all the things happen, I positively think that everything happen will come out with hikmah that we'll never know. ALLAH knows the BEST for us. He might not give you what you want, But HE will grant you what you NEED. Even though I feel so hurt and so ashamed of myself in front of them, I feel relief at last, when my boss (Dr.I) promised to help me and fight for me. Thank you boss, you are the best. But, still, I will accept any decision from the top management. Now, I have to focus on my TUGAS HAKIKI, sharing my knowledge and information to the BUMIPUTERAS with a sincere heart. Despite some bad words from my friends, I will took it positively and I believe everything happen for a reason. Don't let the others devastated our dream.

So, what is my plan now? While waiting for the scholarship, I will be enrolled either UMS or UM or if my luck is by my side, I hope one of the Australian Universities will accept my application. I will send my IELTS application form and doing my passport thingy this weekend.

Yours sincerely,




Roxanne^_^

Tomorrow is the day!

Aslmualaikum.

I'm scared to death now. I don't want to push myself not to scared because, I really SCARED now. I called my boss, his voice is also scary and seems don't want to cooperate or give me a "good-luck" wish. Well, never mind. Maybe he is so stress. I understand. I send a text message to my former lecturer. No reply until now. Seems like ALLAH wants me to perform myself without hoping for people's help. Ya ALLAH, please give me guidance, and please ease the session tomorrow. I'm really scared to death. Literally, I don't really sure what's scares me the most. Maybe this is just a normal feeling if we've been called for an interview. So, I ask myself, What is my preparation for this? Can i achieve the target? I'm afraid I might disappoint my boss.

I've been trying to register online for my IELTS exam.but still, it is not available for Sabah's branch. So I guess I have to go to the British Council myself to send my application.

I'm still waiting for IDP Education to mail me regarding my further studies to Curtin University of Technology, Australia.

How I wish, luck is always by my side. I don't want be like the last year's story.

Yours Sincerely,




Roxanne ^_^

Finally...

Aslmualaikum to all of you out there ^_^

It's been a few weeks since my last entry here. I really want to write here but I don't have any idea to share and I'm so busy since the semester begins last month.

So, the first thing I want to update here is my INTERVIEW FOR THE SCHOLARSHIP. Finally, after waiting for a few months, I'd received a call from the admin saying that I will be interviewed this THURSDAY, 5th JULY 2012, at 8.30am. Fuhh...of course I can't hide my happiness because I've been waiting for this but apart from that, I am so worried because I will be interviewed not only by our Rector (or previously mentioned as Director), but also by our faculty dean! I was like...OHHHH MY....OHHH...Our dean, who is all the way from Shah Alam will be interviewing me!

I'm so surprised, or should I say, I'm FLABBERGASTED. I don't think I have an enough time to prepare for the interview because I have to focus on my tugas HAKIKI or my real duty/responsibility. I'll just pray to ALLAH, to ease the interview session. I can't make any mistakes during the interview if I really want to be sponsored. ALLAH, Please help me...:(

Yours Sincerely,




Roxanne ^__^

The hectic week continues...

Aslmualaikum to all of the readers out there....:)

Well, this week is the 2nd week for the new semester. I'm stress already.haha. I don't intend to insult my students but I don't know, maybe this batch is more hyperactive than the previous semester. All I can do is, adding my patience level. If not, I possibly would turn into a HULK (woman version).haha

Hmm.my latest further studies story:
The interview for the scholarship will be on this coming July. I'm not so sure if I can be enrolled for the September intake. Perhaps... If I couldn't manage to be enrolled this year, I guess, it could be next year. I'm just waiting for the offer now.=_= (I'm tired of waiting!)

So, for this semester I'll teach the same subjects since 2010, which are the Macroeconomics and Microeconomics. I don't know whether my students understand my teachings or not, I'm always asking them, but of course you know that they are afraid to tell me the truth. I hope I can improve my way of teaching so that the knowledge I've shared can be applied anytime even they are already graduating (hopefully). Though it's impossible, but I said to myself, don't lose hope. Remember to be a teacher, we have to be sincere, meaning to say that we teach not because we want to be remembered, but we want the knowledge can be implemented from one generation to another. That's the way we say that the teaching or sharing is succeed.:) (RAMBLING)

I think that's all for today, take care you there :)

Yours Sincerely,




Roxanne ^_^

What a hectic week ~~~

Aslmualaikum to all of the readers :)

Well, today is Friday finally, which means this is the end of the first week for the new semester. Hmm...a little bit busy with lecturing and other stuffs which "cut-off" my intention to write here. So far, I can say that all of my students are OK la. Although some of their attitude can turned me into a dragon (Nightfury perhaps.haha). I don't know how to handle actually when facing a student which can boost your temperature more than 100 degrees. I hope ALLAH will helps me, guides me to be patient. I know, this is the most common things when you become a lecturer or a teacher. After all, giving knowledge to them is the most priority.

I think that's all for today. Gotta lot of things to do to prepare for the lecture.

Yours Sincerely,




Roxanne ^_^

New Semester Begins ~~~

Aslmualaikum...
Well, I think I had found a perfect entry title for this time. haha.
Today is Saturday and I supposed to rest at home, watching TV, or shopping, movies and so on. But, in reality, now, I'm here, stuck in my beloved office during the weekend. I want to prepare for this upcoming new semester (Monday, 11th June). As usual, I have to update my notes, my tutorials, my assignments, planning for the test date and the like. Alhamdulillaah, I managed to clean up my office before new semester. This is because, I know, when the semester begins, my office will be full of papers LOL.
I want to plan for my financial this month (I know this is obvious :P). I already planned for the past few years,since the moment I started working here, but you know, there are so much for me to deliberate, so until now, I don't have any steady savings or investment. I think I want to invest my money this year, so that I will plan for my future studies. Besides that, I want to plan for my future family.:)
I just met my boss just now in his office. He is such a workaholic guy I've ever met. haha.Don't fire me boss.:P I told him that I already called the admin for the scholarship interview. I guess I have to book for the IELTS first, to know the result, then I can decide which university I should go to.
I have learned that we cannot run from choosing, deciding and taking the best decision/choice for us. And normally we have to forgone another choice which might be also good for us. But this is LIFE. I can relate LIFE with my field in ECONOMICS.haha. Let me tell you, there are 3 basic economics concept we should know, though we already know but we never expect that those concepts are related to economics. Those are SCARCITY, which means limited (referring to the resources which are always can't cope with the continuously increase in demand from the consumers),CHOICE which means we have to make a choice because of the scarcity. OPPORTUNITY COST, which means we have to forgone the alternative choices to make a better choice. Isn't it related? If you can't understand what I mean, emm...do read my entry again.just kidding.haha
Okey, It's time to struggle for the battle next week. I pray to ALLAH, May I have the Istiqamah in my daily life. I hope, I will be more improved this semester, after teaching for almost 3 years, Amiin.

Yours Sincerely,




Roxanne^__^

Time is ticking

Aslmualaikum to all the readers out there ^_^

I hope all of you are doing fine. Life has been much more stressful than before right. So as me. Next week, I will be teaching again after a long holiday for my students. I'm not joining them for the holiday, I just take a break from teaching for almost 2 months. A lot of things happen and plenty of tasks to do during the time.
Well, talking about myself (of course myself, not the "other self"-kidding), I keep waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting outside the lines...(eh?) haha. I'm still waiting for the interview, now is already the middle of 2012, I think I have to postpone my further studies plan again to next year. I REALLY DO NOT WANT TO, but since there is no news regarding the scholarship yet, I guess I have to wait until February next year. BUT, there is a but. If the admin want to interview me, before September, I know, I have to further here, in Malaysia. Actually I don't care where I should placed myself to further, but time is ticking you know. I'm not young anymore. I'm reaching 30's. I don't want to waste my time WAITING. I hope ALLAH will grants my wish to further THIS YEAR, Amiin.
Now, I'm on my way to make my office tidy and clean. I put all the papers in files, each of the file will represents many categories, such as QUESTION BANKS, TEACHING FILE, COURSE FILE, and the other files. I feel so relief now after filing all the documents. Your life will me more stressful if your office always in a mess (LIKE ME!)
I have a plan to buy something to decorate my office. Just a simple decoration which can makes me always want to work.haha.just kidding.
You know what, besides all of the postponements stories, I'd received such a wonderful news from him :). So, I'm waiting for the next year. Stay tune ya! :p

After Holiday

Aslmualaikum :)
I know, my entry sounds "hanging" or hovering.haha. but this is my problem, i always failed to give an entry a very good title, or an excellent title.haha

I just want to express that the most stressful thing after a holiday is your "undone tasks". I don't know what is the most ideal term for that thing.haha. Yesterday I already done my duty to help the admin for the registration of the new students. And today, it's time to focus on my "real duty" or TUGAS HAKIKI. I have so many things to prepare especially for the upcoming new semester in 11th of June. I have to update my slides, my notes, the attendance slips/sheets, and the like. Besides, I have some unsolved business regarding my further studies. Now, I feel my head is spinning and I know, my migraine is entertaining my head and my brain.*___*

I really hope that I can solved all these things one by one. I have to give my brain a break.

Wslmualaikum.
Yours Sincerely,

Never-Ending-Stress

Aslmualaikum...

I don't know why I love to start typing an entry with the "Salam",but i feel my entry will be incomplete without the "Salam".hehe. That does not mean I am such a pious girl (I'm trying to be, InsyaALLAH).

Well, talk about my entry title, The Never-Ending-Stress. I'm sure most of people around the world feel the stress.EVERYDAY. It is impossible for us to have a No-Stress-Day nowadays. Along with the globalization era, Life seems so hard, finding jobs become more difficult, we have to run chasing the globalization, if we don't, we'll be left behind. So, what makes me write the title like that? I have experienced so many challenges in life, difficulties, obstacles and the like. When we talk about my current situation, I'm always having problem to make a decision. This is one of my weaknesses. I can't decide which is the best for me. I need someone who can give me advise whenever I'm in the middle of choices. Maybe my past experiences already taught me a lot about life...I remember someone told me, Life is all about making choices. Straight to the point, I have to choose where I should continue my studies. And the most difficult thing is, my decision will be based on the admin's decision. If the interview is within this month, it's too late for me to continue to Aussie as their universities will be open this coming July. But if they want me to continue in Malaysia, I know where I should be. One of my problem is, as i mentioned in my previous entry, I don't know when I should sit for my IELTS exam. This study thingy makes me feel so stress! and sometimes I feel like I can't handle this situation anymore. But I have faith in ALLAH, I believe ALLAH wants me to learn on how to handle a difficult situation (Well, you might be think this situation is not as hard as your situation, but there is another dilemma I have to handle together with this challenge.) I have to think who should pay my monthly car payment, or should I sell my car? How about my family's spending during my study time?
I really think I have to come out with a solution which can benefit all parties (me, family, career).
Tomorrow I will be coming to UiTM to watch and observe the registration for the new students. So, I guess I have to go to bed now. Good night all. Have a nice sleep.

Wasalamualaikum.
Yours Sincerely,




Roxanne ^__^

My holiday ^__*

Aslmualaikum to all of the readers...^___^

Hmm...I left this blog for a few days, and guess what? I really miss to write here. But the thing I don't like the most, when I don't visit this blog, a lot of ideas gyrated in my mind, but when i already open and log on to this beloved blog, all the ideas seems to runaway from me.haha (I'm not sure whether you understand or not) (",)Y

Today is already the first day of June! I still can't believe the time flies so fast and we are already in the middle of 2012. I hope I can further my studies THIS YEAR. again, THIS YEAR. I pray to ALLAH, I want to ask for HIS PERMISSION to give me the opportunity to continue my studies (anywhere whether in Malaysia or overseas). Most of my friends already knew my intention to go to Aussie. Well, it's not solely my intention, but i had mentioned before that this is my boss's suggestion. I'm afraid I will disappoint him but I have faith in ALLAH. ALLAH knows what's the best for me. :)

I spend my time watching movies with my family and today actually I want to go to my office, but suddenly, I cancelled my plan.haha.So I just sit down, resting, pampering myself and now, I'm sitting here writing for this blog.

I'm so worried now. I'm afraid I will disappoint my bos :'( I can't sit for the IELTS this coming June. and the admin has not calling me yet for the interview arrangement. Aduh...What should I do now? ALLAH...Please give me guidance...:'(

Wassalamualaikum...

Yours sincerely,

My latest news for my further studies story

Aslmualaikum and hello there ^_^

It's not the latest news actually. haha...I'm just thinking of what will happen if continue in Aussie? Or what will happen if i continue here? I have some dilemmas to consider here.

1- I haven't been interviewed yet by the admin for the scholarship. I don't know when, and what makes me really worried is, the commencement date for the Aussie's Uni is on this July, the exact date is 9th of July 2012. So how can i make the preparation if I haven't been interviewed? And do you know how long i have to wait after the interview? 3 Months! Now, it is already the end of May, so should I suppose to continue my intention to go to Aussie?

2. I haven't book for the IELTS (International English Language Teaching System) yet. My major problem is the financial problem. I do have enough money for that, but I still have more responsibilities to consider, which requires a lot of money. Besides, if i take the IELTS exam before this coming July, the offer for the scholarship is not out yet. I have to pay the IELTS only using the credit card. I have to send my passport sized photo together with the application. The photo must be without a spectacle.Haiya...I'm a spectacle girl.haha... So CEREWET.

3. I already applied for Universiti Malaya and I also want to send another application to our local uni here, Universiti Malaysia Sabah.

4. I have to tell this to my boss.huhu

I think that's all i want to share for now. Have a nice sleep and good night :)

Yours Sincerely,






Roxanne ^_^

Chatting with my beloved dad

Aslmualaikum to all of the readers out there...

Today is Saturday and i just want to rest after a hectic week since Monday.
Well, back to main topic. I had a chat with my dad just now through the FACEBOOK.

I miss my dad even though we haven't met since i was child. I managed to find him through the internet. haha.No one help me.it's really worth.

I had just asked him to send me the copies of his old IC and his current American IC.(Well, my dad will become the American citizen he said to me).Now he has the Hawaiian ID. It's hard for me to explain why i really need those things but i just want to prepare for my marriage, just in case. I don't want to burden him to sent all those documents,but i have to. Sorry daddy.

Tonight, there will be a birthday party cum gathering for Auntie Alice Marcus Thien.She's celebrating her 80th Birthday!haha...I'm a little bit shy when attending such gathering especially, going to meet my dad's side relatives. I don't know why, but dad said i'm silly if i feel shy.haha

That's all for today :) Nothing much to share.haha

Yours Sincerely,
Roxanne ^____^

Not in a good mood :(

Aslmualaikum...

I start my entry today with a question, is it hard for the men to understand women? I don't know if it is so difficult to understand me. In other words, I'm not understandable. Well, it depends on how well you can handle me, my weaknesses, my bad manner and so on. But, for me, if u really can accept your loved ones weaknesses, the term understandable or not should not be raised as an issue. Ok stop talking about that. I don't want to be so emotional.
I just came back to my office from meeting. So many works to do, it makes me under pressure and not in a good mood. This 2pm, i have another meeting and a course to attend. Which one i should choose? This is crazy. I'm not an AMOEBA (kind of bacterial species) which can divided into two.haha...So i choose to go for the course instead of attending the meeting which can cause me bored to death!

That's all for today.
Yours Sincerely,





Roxanne ^_^

Family Dinner

Aslmualaikum :)

Hehe..My last post for today.^_*
I just get back to my office since lunch. I have some activities with the students just now.
I'm thinking of bringing my family for a dinner tonight but depends la. Before my pockets teared up by unexpected spending, I think it is a cool idea to bring my family for a dinner. My perfect suggestion should be Gayang Seafood Restaurant :P (I did mention this yesterday right but this is another story). I pledge to myself to make my family happy before i leave them for continuing my studies.

It is already 5.14pm and I have to perform Asar first before i drive home. Opps, those who drive, don't accelerating your fuel pedal ya,It's a waste for ya.(Thanks for the commercial break.haha).Gotta see you tomorrow :)

Wassalamualaikum.

Yours Sincerely,

My further studies story

Aslmualaikum to all of the readers out there :)

Today i would like to share something about my future.
I'm currently working now. And my job requires me to further my studies until i confirmed and then continue once again till i get the PhD certificate. It is so challenging to me.huhu and i have to think about so much stuffs when i want to further my studies especially when my beloved boss push me to further overseas.
Actually, The further studies' planning had been gyrated over my mind since last year. I already being interviewed for a scholarship and expecting to be enrolled on September last year. But, what happen is, because of the shortage of academic staffs in economics, i have to postpone my intention and eventually i heard from the admin that i can't get the offer and they encouraged me to further myself without the scholarship. That means i have to apply for the university myself, and self-funding. That was tough for me, although most of friends, already continued their studies and nearly graduating around this year and next year. I don't think i can manage my time for studies and work. But i tried to apply the local university here in Sabah, and waiting for the offer this year. (Even it's late for me and my age).

Suddenly, around February this year, a friend of mine, told me that the scholarship application was open again. So, i took this opportunity, AGAIN, but this time, i prepared a very good back up so that I have two plans, A's PLAN, and B's PLAN. I asked my boss first whether i can apply this scholarship again, he said yes. But his answer at that time, even it is a YES, along with the suggestion for me to further to Australia. At that time, i don't have any doubt but said YES. That's because, i was being hurt my someone i loved and i wanted to go far from here. I tried to apply all the universities in Aussie and now I'm waiting for the conditional offer so that i can bring the letter for my scholarship's interview. (My boss's suggestion).

But, without telling him, i already prepared my backup and apply for the local university. Well, at least, if the scholarship's offer out and says i must further here in Malaysia, i have the backup.haha


My dilemma now is my savings. If i have to take the IELTS Exam, it costs about RM590 and I'm not saying that i can't afford to pay it, but still, a lot of things needed for consideration. I hope i can take the IELTS Exam before the enrollment date in July. HOPEFULLY INSYAALLAH.

I think that's all for today. Since i don't have so much ideas to write, I will continue to mention about my studies in my next entry. Take care :)

Yours Sincerely,



Roxanne :)

Today is a Great day ^_^

Aslmualaikum to all of you :)

My entry title sounds something good but actually it isn't.haha..just today is the govt's pay day so of course today will be a great day for all of the government's servants :).

I'm planning to go to Sabah's most famous Seafood Restaurant here, Gayang Seafood and then i will rushed back home to go for a kenduri in our hometown.

My day started today with attending an economic conference which entitled "The Significance of Sabah Development Corridor." This conference was organized by the final semester students in BBA (Economics) as a requirement for their subject of Economics Issues. I was attracted to a talk by my own boss, Dr. Imbarine on the (i dont remember the title), but i can see that the topic is about the alignment between the SDC and the NEM (New Economic Model) which spread out into 12 National Key Economics Areas (NKEA).

Actually, i have another program which held at the same time just now and i have to monitor the program but my commitment will goes to this conference. It's hard to handle (not handle la, i mean it's hard to decide which place u supposed to be or which program u supposed to attend). But finally I choose to go to the conference and during the free time, i went out and see the progress of another program.:( Quite dilemma.

This evening, while waiting for my friend to pick me up to Gayang Seafood, i'll fill up my free time to read more English books and to read my favorite book which can helps me to add some English words to my brain's Vocabulary. "In order to have a good vocabulary, u must have a good memory". But i dont have a good memory.hahaha...just kidding.see you all soon. Sorry for my bad language and my bad grammar. i'm trying to improve.:)

Wasalamualaikum.
Your Sincerely,

Roxanne :)

Not feeling well(T____T)

Aslmualaikum to all of you....

I haven't been writing a new post here but i visit here everyday. It's just because i'm not in a good mood right now.I'm suffering flu plus migraine and my latest "sakit" is my pelvis pain. I mean "pangkal peha". This pain has been ages since 2006, but i never checked it with the hospital. i'm afraid something will happen to my pelvis bone. This pain caused by my carelessness. I slipped down and fall in my home kitchen at that time. The kitchen was slippery and i can't hold anything and then...Nahhhh..I'm suffering for ages! This pain was shrinking but then yesterday, as i was arrived in my office, i feel something strange with my legs, i couldn't walk normally like other people...OH YA ALLAH..I said to myself...I started to cry at that time...I waited patiently for this pain to fade away, but when i started to walk again, the pain was still there, until today, i applied for a one day leave to rest. I hope i can walk normally tomorrow.:'(
I think that's all for today...May ALLAH bless us....Ahlan Wasahlan Yaa Rajab....

Yours Sincerely,
Roxanne :)

Oh My English! :)

Aslmualaikum to all the readers out there ^_^Good morning!

This morning i arrived earlier than before because i want to fill up my fuel tank before i go to my office.haha...(so what? show off :P)
Well, back to the main topic above.OH MY ENGLISH! I'm sure most of us already heard the TV PROGRAMME -OH MY ENGLISH (launched by Astro) which will be showing every Sunday at 10am (TVIQ). I'm not gonna talk about the programme actually because i'm not a radio announcer or TV announcer.haha.just kidding. It's just this programme makes me realize the importance of the English Language nowadays. We know that most of the multinational companies, or even the local corporation, will recruit their workers by looking at the way they speak in English as well as their soft skills. If they only can speak well in front of the client or public, but they can't speak in English properly, the employer of the firm will automatically rejected them from being recruited. English is a global language for us. If we go outside our country especially the English speaking country, we must speak in English no matter how bad your English. It's because, now, look...If you don't know where is the public toilet let say in the London City, do you say "Di mana tandas?" right?haha. So you must ask the people in English, except you meet a Malay there, i guess that's your luck. :P
For me, honestly, i'm not a good speaker (I mean in English). Well, since i was child, i did speak a little in English, besides my family at my dad's side is an English speaking family but i seldom met them at that time. I think the English runs through my blood.haha...I'm not good at the English grammar, and not  a good listener in English. I see myself inconsistent when we talk about my performance in English. When i was in primary school, I'm the best student in English competitions,until i moved to secondary school.but then i don't know why in my Form 4, my English performance or level keeps on falling. I still can read and pronounce the words in English fluently, but i  can't speak in a proficient way of English, even my vocabulary was weak. But i managed to get a "B" for my SPM, Alhamdulillaah.
And then, during my university time, My English also was not that good. This is because my confidence level at that time. I'm not confident when talking in front of the public even presenting in front of my fellow friends. (How shame!) But then after i graduated from UiTM, I joined GEMS (Graduate Employability Management Scheme) which fully supported by the government. This programme is for the graduates like me at that time who wants to develop their soft skills as well as developing the confidence in English speaking. There's a lot of Module or classes provided for us in order to equip us with a better knowledge during interviews, even helps us on how to manage a big programme such as Carnival, Executive Dinner, Talent's Day and so all. All of the modules given were taught in English, and we are encouraged to speak in English everyday, if we speak in Bahasa, we will be fined. This 2 months programme helps me a lot. But well, u know, practice makes perfect right? Even u had joined the best programme in the world, but u don't practice, the result will be the same.u can't speak in English fluently (sad).
Opps..that's too much. Sorry, i'm not really good in English and i can't really come out with a boombastic word when writing so i just write here the way i know and let's learn together! Let's practice frequently.:)


 Wasalam. Love always,

As for today, i managed to finish my tasks but unable to go to the IDP again. i'll go to the IDP tomorrow.SIGH, i hate to procrastinate, but i have to. :(
I started to learn that, the more you procrastinate, the more u suffer! so finished your tasks earlier, if possible please finished it on the spot after your boss give it to you.

That's for today, i don't have more ideas to be shared for now.This migraine is killing me.:(
 Love always.

Sleepy =_______=

Aslmualaikum to all the readers out there...
Gosh i'm sorry i haven't visit this blog since Friday. I was so busy attending a Pre-W-Course here in Kota Kinabalu (I don't want to explain further regarding the course, i'm afraid i might be blushing.haha...kidding) p/s: siapa tau, syukur.siapa still wondering what is the Pre-W-Course, pandai2 la,haha)
I  attended the course during Saturday and Sunday, so i planned to take a one day leave on MONDAY,that was yesterday. But guess what happen? My friend called me, and then I ended spending my leave at my own beloved office! Sigh. if i can sell my "CUTI", I will sell my cuti to those my friends who need it. I really give up applying for leaves. I will always end up spending my leave at my own office. My mom always scolding me for not taking a break, even during the weekends. I don't know why i always busy compare to my friends. I'm not holding a higher position in my workplace but i have to finish a lot of tasks...or should i say, ton of tasks! But i don't care about that actually, because people say i'm a workaholic person.haha...not totally true, but not utterly right as well.
Today i have to follow up our tasks (hopefully) and then i will go to IDP Education for an appointment once again. Ya ALLAH, please guide me through your path, Please help me to finish all these tasks successfully...

I think that's all for today.Ohh by the way, the title above is actually not related to what i'm talking about but, the fact is, I feel really SLEEPY now...SLEEPY HEAD. huhuhu....=__=

Love, Roxanne.

My first entry for my new blog *__^

Aslmualaikum to all the readers out there^___^

Woahhh...it's been a while (not a while, but so much "while" kidding :P) i haven't been blogging since my last post from my old blog was all about "LOVE HURT". it's all about my miserable life experiences.Today, after reading people's blog since morning, i feel like i wanna start again blogging. I feel inspired by those Muslimahs' blogs' which is written in fully English. Forgive me for my poor writing (typing :P) now. I dont have any spectacular ideas right now to post here but i realize that if we dont practice, all our skills will "go away". This happen to me right now. sigh. =_= I realllyyy love to write (old times), but after been "demotivated" by certain circumstances (See? i can't even write down my sentences properly like the old days), i stop writing, i stop blogging, and just being a silent reader to other peoples' blogs.

So, what i'm gonna do now is:

1) Write at least a short post here everyday (well if i can't maybe twice per week should be ok)
2) Write down my job tasks here so that i'll be motivated to visit my blog everyday besides doing my undone job tasks.
3) Posting pictures, or posting something informative,valuable,readable, and maybe presentable posts to the readers out there :) (If possible)
4) Preparing for my IELTS exam (will be posting about it later if i'm ready to share)
5) Preparing myself for a better future :)
6) Preparing myself for a better Muslimah, InsyaALLAH..Amiin
7) --------- no idea (yet) (",) Y

I think that's all for today, It's already 5pm, time to go home. heheheh

Yours Sincerely,
Roxanne ^_^
