What Melody Means

You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. You are balanced, orderly, and organized. You like your ducks in a row. You are powerful and competent, especially in the workplace. People can see you as stubborn and headstrong. You definitely have a dominant personality. You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care.

Further Study

Pemandu teksi terima sarjana

KUALA LUMPUR 19 Okt. – Iltizam untuk menjadi idola kepada lima anaknya membakar semangat seorang pemandu teksi, Ishak Ismail, 56, untuk meneruskan pelajaran sehingga ke peringkat ijazah sarjana.

Hari ini, impiannya itu menjadi kenyataan apabila beliau menerima ijazah Sarjana Komunikasi Korporat dari Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Serdang pada Majlis Konvokesyen UPM Ke-32 di sini.

Semangat Ishak untuk menimba ilmu terus menyala dan selama 13 tahun memandu teksi di sekitar Shah Alam, beliau sentiasa berfikir untuk mengisi setiap masa terluang dengan perkara yang berfaedah.

‘‘Saya sedar peringkat usia saya agak tua berbanding mahasiswa lain tetapi berbekalkan kelulusan Sijil Tinggi Pelajaran Malaysia (STPM), saya nekad sambung belajar peringkat ijazah pada tahun 2002,’’ katanya ketika ditemui selepas majlis konvokesyen itu di sini hari ini.

Sebaik sahaja menamatkan pengajian ijazah dalam bidang komunikasi dua tahun lepas, datuk kepada tiga orang cucu ini meneruskan pengajian ke peringkat Sarjana Komunikasi Korporat.

Kejayaan hari ini, katanya, adalah berkat doa dan sokongan moral yang diberikan oleh isteri dan keluarga.
Justeru, jelasnya, pengorbanan keluarganya itu tidak akan dipersia-siakan kerana selepas ini, beliau tidak lagi akan menjadi pemandu teksi.

MY MASTERS?

I wonder when will be my turn. All this while, not that I never have any intention to further my studies, it's just that I still do not have what it takes to act and start. I am aware that high level of education is not a guarantee for people to be successful in life. Nor it was a sign that you are now a much wiser person. There are people who are having successful life, prosperous business and everything despite of not having the certificate. Yeah, there are those people. But not everyone is that lucky. If one have the chance to further study, why not? Not everyone gets the opportunity, kan? And if I am to have one, I will grab it.

Anyway, I am still in planning stage of furthering my studies. There are a lot of things to be considered of. Like the course, the time, the place, the type of study (I am pretty sure not to take the “by research” thingy, much likely to get one by coursework or classes though), and of course, the financial needs. (Degree punya PTPTN pun belum habis bayar ni! Ouch!)

I always thought that the time is yet to come, that I still want to gain as much experience in this industry. And it turns out that I am enjoying my career, hence it made me flown away much further from my desire to pursue for higher education.

I hope one day I will have enough drive to act. Who knows?

Kembali Bekerja

Setelah 19 hari bercuti raya, maka hari ini aku kembali bekerja. Anehnya, aku cukup bersemangat dan perasaanku riang ria. Tidak liat bangun pagi dan menyiapkan diri, malah sempat pula memasak sarapan! (Kebiasaannya, aku beli kat kafe je. Kalau bukan bulan puasalah.) Mungkin kerana sudah terlalu lama bercuti dan mendapat rehat yang secukupnya menjadikan pagi aku begitu menyegarkan. Boleh jadi juga penangan buku motivasi tulisan Dr HM Tuah Iskandar yang kubaca pada masa cuti, yang mana antara yang aku ingat katanya kalau kita berfikiran positif apabila bangun pagi, maka seluruh hari kita akan menjadi baik, kerana apa yang kita fikirkan di pagi hari tu umpama doa jugak lah. Jadi kalau pagi-pagi lagi dah berfikiran yang negatif dan buruk, maka buruk jugak lah hari yang akan kita lalui tu. Lebih kurang macam tu lah.

Betapa seronok dan bersemangatnya aku pergi kerja, sehinggakan aku boleh menari-nari dan menyanyi dalam kesesakan jalan raya. Agaknya pakcik kat sebelah kereta aku tu mesti hairan menengok aku macam tu. Dan Alhamdulillah, berkat aura positif aku hari ini agaknya, kebetulan work load hari ini adalah menyenangkan, tiada line issue yang teruk, passdown pun tak banyak, tool takde yang buat hal, lot tak banyak yang fail, rakan-rakan sekerja juga ceria-ceria belaka, maka stress level adalah rendah.

Balik dari kerja, parents aku pulak call, bagitau yang mereka balik rumah. Ah, keseronokan berganda!

Seronoknya kalau tiap-tiap hari macam ni.

Kata orang, kata aku.

Kata orang, kalau berhasrat pada sesuatu kena ada usaha.
Kata orang jugak, niat tanpa tindakan takkan membawa kita kepada hasrat kita.
Tapi orang jugak ada cakap, kalau nakkan sesuatu tu biarlah yang sesuai dengan kita.
Bak kata orang, pandai-pandailah nak mengukur baju di badan sendiri.
Tapi ada masanya kena cuba dulu baju tu baru tau muat ke tidak.
Kadangkala nampak muat, tapi bila dipakai sempit la pulak.
Kadangkala pula nampak cantik, tapi bila dipakai tak kena dengan diri.
Ada pula nampak tak berapa cantik, tapi bila dipakai selesa sangat.
Eh, merepek pasal baju pulak dah?
Apa lagi kata orang? Hmm..Kalau nak dengar kata orang sampai bila la nak jadi kan?
Kadang-kadang kena dengar apa kata diri sendiri.
Hati kata nak atau tidak?
Akal fikir kata rasional atau tidak?
Tubuh badan kata larat ke nak buat?
Perasaan kata boleh tahan atau tidak?

Aku keliru sekarang. Teruskan? Atau membiarkan keadaan yang menentukan?

Berjalan Melihat Tempat Orang

Since me and my parents are still in holiday mood, so my dad came out with an idea to go to visit Kota Kinabalu for a day. It was an ad-hoc trip, but as school holidays have just ended, we were pretty confidence that there will be many hotel rooms available for us. We went yesterday morning, and get back to Sarawak this evening.

on the way

Unlike our previous trips in previous years, this time we have less photo sessions, less shopping, more travelling in the car driving around town, and even went to see the kampungs nearby. So I have a different view on travelling for this time. Travelling is not just visiting interesting places, go to all shopping malls and spend money on stuffs, or eat whatever food you cannot find elsewhere. To travel to other places is also to see what exactly living in these places would be. See what actually the people around do. How each and everyone with different faces mix with others. And many more apart from the usual activity that we travellers always do. I just wished that I can stay there longer.

By the way, the trip to KK was fun though!

welcome!

Eid Celebration

I am enjoying each and every second of my Aidilfitri. Meeting lots of long-lost relatives and friends, it's a great thing that I still have chance to meet them. Though there were some matters that I am not so happy with (which is the fact that Brunei and Malaysia were not celebrating their 1st Syawal on the same day!! Duhh~ *sigh* ) but overall I'm happy and grateful that I have chance to celebrate Syawal in peace and harmony this year.

It's 3rd day of Eid (2nd day for Bruneians), today me and my family are going to Miri. Yay!!
