A state of mental indecision

Yesterday Ado said Friday would be a big day for him. Wants me to pray alot. He’ll know decision from them today. He’s sad and worried. He’s feeling having his last breath.

What’s going on? Them who? Why do I get bad feeling about it? :(

He’s not telling me. Yet. Coz he says I’d be worried and probably cry.

The Chronicles of Convocation: Post-convo mood

Hiya WordPress. I don’t know where to start. Been lazy to write. Lazy to get up. Lazy to come to work. Lazy to do work. Lazy to have lunch. Lazy to clean room. In fact, been lazy, full stop.

Please don’t take too much attention to that accidentally big-sized photo I put on last post. *blushing* I say accidentally coz I was practically fooled by that very small sized Compaq B1200 laptop belongs to Ima that I was using over the weekend when we were staying in hotel. Having been used to huge desktop screen, I couldnt really tell the image size that looked like somewhat 300×225 on that tiny 12″ laptop screen, when I was preparing for that post. And when I came back to my PC I gasped “what the hell did I put such huge photo for??”. Haiyah, but I am too lazy to change. Never mind lah.

In summary, convo was nice. But I didn’t take alot of photos as I had expected. Coz it was raining, and I hardly found my friends after the session, maybe coz we were in evening session and it ended late and everyone didn’t stay long afterwards. Only had pics with Lenya (again), and Isuma during the queuing and Akmal that I encountered on the way to cafetaria. The rest are pics of me alone and with family. And like many other girls who don’t have pocket on the dress to bring along mobile phone/camera inside the hall, my trick was to attach the mobile purse inside the convo robe :D so I was lucky to capture my own videos and pics during the convo gathering. Hehe. When I have time I’ll upload them in my Flickr :)

Ado was not there. Coz I was not sure if I should invite him. But I did send him my picture during the queuing. With a note, “wish you were here”. Which implicitly means, “wish you were here receiving your scroll too, but why you’re taking so long to finish your studies when you’re supposed to have been 2 years earlier than me??”

Umm. What else? Oh, you got to see my room new look. On the last day my parents in KL (when my sisters have already gone back to their places) they came to visit my apartment, and there goes the transformation of the room. I just hopelessly let my parents arrange stuff and furniture in my room, and Mama brought a curtain to put, and thanks to them now at least I can see some empty space in that tiny area. Happy sigh.

By the way I am not moving this time around.

I think I have some more things to write. Until next time.

The Chronicles of Convocation: The Day

24 August 2008

The Chronicles of Convocation: OMG

Hey you strangers who keep checking here though I havent updated lately.

I have been busy.

One. Work.

Two. Convocation preparation.

Three. Family coming over.

Four. Find new laptop for Ima. (Now I’m testing this)

Five. Help Ado find new house/room. Life is always not easy for this guy.

Six. Find myself a new house. Cheaper flat, but nearer to workplace and I’ll have my own bathroom.

Seven. Get busy with Ado. Long story, and he might not be a perfect man for me but he loves me and he’s been wonderful. He wants to be with me. He seems to have learned something.

So okay.

Since I love him still.

It seems it’s me now who can’t seem to learn from past. Hmm..

I’ll be attending my graduation with a very happy mood :)

By the way I wish this post was invisible.

A lažem ako kažem da te ne volim

I’ve met Ado.

I don’t want to write about it.

The Chronicles of Convocation: Part 3

Days left until convocation: 7

Yesterday I went to UIA to collect the convocation robe. Arrived there around 10am and it was a crowd already. Lenya arrived after 10 minutes and we proceeded to CAC hall. First, we got to present the slip of tracer study and robe collection form to the respective counter. And they gave us the invitation card, convocation smart card, and later we went to pick up the robe.

The Chronicles of Convocation: Rehearsal Video

Because this year they eliminate the stage where the graduates have to come to do the ceremony rehearsal, instead they provide us the videos of last year’s rehearsal to study.

1) Before convocation
2) During convocation
3) After convocation

(available at www.iiu.edu.my/convo)

A rememberance of the Songkok era :) However I dont know by watching videos alone can make me understand the steps or not. Hmm.

The Chronicles of Convocation: Tracer Study

Continuing the drama of UIA Alumni and MOHE Tracer Study.

Episode 1: UIA Alumni Tracer Study

After the 10th time the surveys kept loading page 3 no matter how hard I pressed “save & proceed”, I knew there’s something wrong with the system. Luckily I was not surprised, though. So I called UIA Alumni telling the problem and they forwarded me to the system programmer. The conversation was something like this.

Me: I’ve been stuck at page 3. It’s about the co-curriculum activity
Her: Did you tick yes or no at the field did you join any co-curricular activity?
Me: Yes. And there are like 20 different activities but I joined only one, so I ticked only one.
Her: If you tick yes above then you have to fill up ALL following activity fields.
Me: But I didn’t join all activities. (I mean, excuse me if I forgot, but did I spend 4 years in UIA joining twenty clubs??)
Her: Nevermind, but the system doesnt accept the answer if all are not filled.
Me: (WTF??)

Well yeah who cares if you don’t give correct information in an alumni survey, nobody will bother checking either. Plus you cannot be blamed when the fault comes from the system’s bad programming itself. Sigh. After that I finally finished the survey and printed the confirmation slip. That’s all we need for robe collection anyway.

2) Episode 2: MOHE Tracer Study

Umm at first attempt I tried to login like 5 times and they said my record doesnt exist. I didnt have time to try again until Lenya mentioned something about you have to download. And from the yahoo group they say the system really doesnt recognise everyone’s data (so not only me) and UIA Alumni made a spreadsheet copy of the survey to download and fill up and email back to them. Sappy procedure again. But I did. And today another update, the MOHE system is working again. So we need to do it online again. Hohoho so not funny.

I’m still not that under pressure but..

What do people usually do when their supposedly working program keep failing for the 100th testing time and never seem to identify where the bug/problem is?

I know crying isn’t one of the solutions.

But I really feel like crying.

One day at MAHA expo

I’m so lazy to write much. Let’s see pictures instead.

IRIS booth with golden melons planted using AutoPot system. We're selling the hydrophonic system, and also the fruits.

And these cube melons especially, but not for sale

Oh this is not celebrity, but why is everyone taking their picture? It's the Prime Minister and the Minister of Agriculture in the house lah. Who else could you expect to appear on Maha Expo lauching day?

And being IRIS Agrotech’s promoter(? Fruit seller?) for one day is tiring enough, I tell you. I didn’t know the exhibition was this huge, in fact I never seen any bigger expo than this. Other than crowds of people from all over the region, you can also expect alot of food (and free food tester!) in those booths :)
