After participating in Back2School program in the morning and undergo 2nd half work in the office, I mange myself to come to annual dinner at my work place. The theme of the dinner is musical.

MaTP 2018

I attend to Management Trainee Program 2018 (MaTP 2018) interview at G Hotel. There were total of 33 participants who came from an awesome different background who came to this event. Many of them came from overseas University with higher CGPA. According to the panel who is the manager, only 2 person will be selected to join the course in 18 months that will receive a local or division specific onboarding as well as an MaTP-specific onboarding. The selected candidate will gain access to all regular standard company benefits. The rest candidate who not selected might be offered for other job position.

The refreshment was served to all participants throughout this even. The participants was given 2 case studies to be solved and discussed in group (4 people) in 30 minutes and present their result to 5 panel judges in 15 minutes. I was assign in group B with Luther, Thaness, and Blaqis. They are so enthusiasm during this event and I learned a lot of thing from them by this short hour of friendship :)

SK-II from Japan

My sister just came back from Japan for her PhD research studies and brought me a skin care named SK-II. There was a sales with lowest price happening in Japan.

The packaging was the same with Malaysia's SK-II but unfortunately they are having a little bit different item compared to Japan's SK-II set. So, what is in the packaging?

My stomach keeps aching, so I ask again mom's permission for me to went to the toilet at the nearest masjid. While queuing to enter the toilet, my head spinning, my stomach aches and my body wet with sweat. I've been experiencing this pain before, so I knew how to handle myself from falling down. After entering the toilet, I rush myself to Tiya and I sit down at the satires because my vision becomes blurred. I ask Tiya where is the female prayer side. So, we went to the female prayer side and I drop my head down on the carpet and quickly take off my headscarf. My body temperature rises and I was wet with more sweat. I tried to find fan nearby to cool down myself. My stomach started to ache even more. I called my mom to tell her where I was. I gave my purse to Tiya to help me brought some mineral water.

Motorcycle crashes into car

After packing my stuff and bring some packed meal in the morning, I was about to drive my self to Penang to attend for the Intel interview which being held at Intel PG12 at 4 pm. I drove myself there early so to make sure that I was on time for the interview. I intend to go to my sister's house in Bukit Mertajam before the interview. I was losing my direction while I was searching for my sister's house. My sister just sends me her house location at the traffic light, my car was slow in motion at that time and suddenly, there's a human with motorcycle fell down in front of my car. It was so devastating impact when I saw he suddenly fall. I want to go straight, but the motorcycle want to turn to the right and suddenly appear at my blind spot (left side of my car), and we crashed at the middle of the traffic light. I was terrified if I just killed him. I quickly get out from the car to see how he was. I picked all his belonging on the road to the side of the road. Many of other motorcyclis surrounded me at that tragedy. They help to lift the motorcycle and the guy up from his fall. My car didn't smash because my father has just changed the chassis part into plastic material so that my car didn't crash again. Hehe. But my chassis part fell down a little, but can't really see it. I felt so sorry to see him fall, hurt, crying with blood.

Me: Okay tak?
Him: Tak nampak ke?
Me: Tak nampak.

Stranger: You tunggu sini. Nanti apa2 you panggil ambulance.
Me: Okay.

Him: Tak yah buat report eh?
Me: Ha'a. Takyah. Jap nak alihkan kerete.

(He jump in one leg painfully in the middle of the road to get his slipper. He didn't even ask for my help.)

Me: Jom pergi hospital?
Him: Pergi klinik jela.

Me: Jom pergi klinik? Naik kerete.
Him: Naik moto jela.
Me: Hmm... Nah ni duit untuk pergi klinik. Saya minta maaf tau?

He silenced and paused for too long before taking the money and then I just left. I don't know how to begging people if they don't want it. I felt regret and sorry to just left him bleeding with blood like that. I hope we meet again by accident one day (in my dream). Until now, that traumatic moment still haunting my brain. :')

Meanwhile, after that incident, I was calmly went for the interview like nothing just happened. The interview experience was great. They ask a lot of about technical questions. I was just like teaching the interviewer by drawing a lot in the white board about what I knew about analog, semiconductor and my project. But I just screw up the moment he asks about C++ because I forget about it. I just remember about Verilog and VHDL coding. Whatever things to come after this, I'm just accepting the fate :')

"There is wisdom that we need to release something that we really love. Believe Him, because if it's our mate, how far he goes away, he'll definitely go back to our lap."

Tough times

We're all hurting inside. We have one pain that hard to express. Sometimes we feel so depressed and in complete despair. We think no-one sees our pain but there is Someone. And if you remember Him, He will remember you. That's His promise. Everything happens for a reason. Never complain, never explain. Say Alhamdulillah.

May Allah heal the broken heart, 

the ones who are silent, 

who cannot express their pain, 

the ones who are tried of torment, 

the ones who need a break.

May Allah put an end to your sadness, 

may He put a smile on your face. :)

May Allah listen to everyone's silent prayers & internal screams. My heart really aches secretly but very much badly, and the worst thing is I cannot share even a single word with anyone. May Allah mend all broken heart and grant us everlasting happiness :)

Car crash

I'm having a meeting with my supervisor today. I bump into Nurin and Far at my school. I present my simulation result to my supervisor. He said that I can complete my thesis earlier with my current obtained data. But if I'm improving it and make the data exactly the same as previous work, the better. So, he keeps offering me a PhD grant to further my studies in PhD under him. He said that the topic would be the same, but with experiment and fabrication. I'm currently seeking for a job as an engineer and I do in love with this topic. I'm in dilemma with this decision. After meeting with my supervisor, I filled the gas tank, buy a coffee for my father at the nearest store. On my way back, I accidentally have a car crash at the highway corner. I'm speechless. I'm in shocked. My head felt dizzy. I felt down to earth. I can't believe what just happened. This is the first time ever I'm having a car crash after driving a manual car in 6 years. I don't know how to explain what actually happens behind the scene. It was so unconscious mind. But.. yeah.... accident just happened with minor injuries. At least I'm still breathing and alive.

"When Allah takes something from your grasp, he is about to replace it with something better."

Lymphatic cancer

My brother in law was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer. He got a tumour growing on his neck. Lymphoma is cancer that begins in infection-fighting cells of the immune system, called lymphocytes. These cells are in the lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, bone marrow, and other parts of the body. When you have lymphoma, lymphocytes change and grow out of control. 

He undergoes the operation while I was in study week at the University. My sister has to go to UK and Japan for her PhD research and left his husband alone few weeks after the operation. Everyone was so shocked with the news. He was so kind to me and was tested with many obstacles. I felt sorry for him. I owed him a lot. I don't know what I can do to help him except to include him in my prayer. He always there to help me. He's the one who helped me to sell stock, he's the one who helped me to board a plane alone, he's the one who wants to be there while I was lost alone at night with no direction, he's the one who wants to be there while my car's tires flat, he's the one who helped me pay the registration fee for my master degree, he's the one who helped me cross the road in a big city while I feel lost, he's the one who helped me to collect my degree transcript. I don't think I could survive in this world without him.

However, lymphoma is very treatable, and the outlook can vary depending on the type of lymphoma and its stage. Hopefully, he will survive by finding the right treatment for his type and stage of illness.

He made this flowers all by himself for me during my convocation.

Social network quarantine

"So lay me down in this field and put me under the trees in the tall grass where they won’t find me. 

Enjoying silence and peace until the sirens they come back screaming, taking me away. 

I lost a piece of myself, and I forgot to slow down and just breathe and it’s scaring me. 

I’ve given all I can give so don’t let me go."

Hey, it has been a while since my last appearance. I'm not dead. I'm just trying to survive here. I've been quarantine myself from logging on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram in December 2017 until my last final exam ends on 4th January 2018. I just wanted to make sure that I didn't procrastinate while I'm on this journey. This will be the last final exam I encountered in my life.

Before this, I've been completely offline from all social network more than a year. So, it's not an issue for me to start my offline habit again. What it feels like to completely offline?  I feel focused on what I'm currently doing. I feel the joy of missing out. I feel like I'm the happiest person on earth. I improved my communication skill by talking with a lot of people from face to face. I keep increasing my Quran reading and prayer as my entertainment. I improved my reading skill by reading the newspaper to get the correct current issue. And obviously, I didn't care about any celebrity issue. Sorry if this paragraph sounds extremely nerdy. Ha-ha.

Meanwhile, even though I'm offline, my passive business still running. I feel blessed to have a loyal customer who keeps on repeating order. Sometimes I do feel like I want to quit my passive business, but it is hard for you to stop once you accidentally start it. Yeah, business never stops.
