Hi!

Wow...It's been ages since I last wrote in my blog...

Currently i'm working in Masterskill University College. It has been 3 months and so far, so good. Different sets of students, different environment and the best part it's much-much closer to home (it's only 5 min away compared to KDU-1 hour).

My friends here are as crazy as I am.Hehe..Manage to find someone who "clicks" with me. The Maggots! (up there) My working life has never been happier with these guys! All Sengals! hehe..And I have my best buddy here as well...best,best..Yup we have our ups and downs, but we'll sail through.. Don't know what else to write because my sengal gengs are here and their distarcting my ideas...huhu..Till next

Thursday

Today I have decided to try the bus and train service. I left around 5.40pm and we got a bus right away. bus service was ok.Wahida and myself were chatting all the way. When we got to the train station there were already a number of people. By the time we boarded the train it was 3/4 full...as we stopped at each station, it's becoming more pack, and pack. i had to basically touch both my pockets and guard my bag at the same time to make sure nothing's missing. Wahida got down at the Taman Jaya station and i still have 6 more stations to go before reaching Jamek and it was like hell! so packed and unfortunately there were 3 guys behind me and we were bumping into each other's bodies but there's nothing we can do bout it...

When i finally reached Masjid Jamek, it was like coming out of the closet to get fresh air..hehe...i donno how people do it everyday. Actually i know it's packed during peek hours as i have travelled like this before back in 2005 when i was working in wisma MCA Jalan Ampang. I took the Putra from Jamek to Ampang Park.But it wasn't that bad as it was only 3 stations away and most of the time the train will be empty once we reach KLCC.. The trick is to stand right next to the door, hug or bag in front of u and just speed once ur station arrives. this way u don't have to squeeze through people when u r getting down...

What an experience..by the time i arrive Jamek i felt so tired as though i had a long day at work.hehe

3rd day...

Yesterday was something..I had the opportunity to do something as a Lecturer. Finally! I was asked to help invigilate a major exam in the auditorium...

First I had lunch with Mohana, My colleague who is taking the same road as we're both fresh TESL graduates.She came in one semester earlier so she had experience. SO to be able to have a one to one lunch just between the two of us, I was able to chat with her regarding her teaching experiences here :-)

After lunch both of us and the rest of the english lecturers headed to the auditorium. We distributed papers and later invigilated the exam. Most of the students thought i'm a new student. Finally when they saw my card, they were shocked. Hehe. I love doing that, giving people surprises.Hehe...I'm new here and I haven't taught any classes yet so it'll take time for them to recognize me...

Went back home with Kak Nora, I took a ride with her...

2nd day of work

Finally, They fixed my PC.. And i was bombarded with so many information.hehe.. From staff handbook, to the computer systems to the syllabus. It was non stop. Sin Yi (Nick's assistant) explained everything thoroughly one by one but i think after some time the information were not process. It just came in one ear and went out the other ear. I had Tunnel Vision! Too much info..hehe...after all the explaination. She gave time to absorb everything so I started reading the manuals and exploring the PC. By the time I went back I felt soo tired. Not physically, but Mentally tired...

1st day of work

Hi Guys! How has it been? Hmm it's been ages since I wrote my last blog..and guess what? I'm no more a student, I'm working! weee...hehe...Just started my 1st day in KDU as an English Lecturer..

Well today I didn't do much. Nick@Nicholas Lee(head of the language department) gave me a tour around the campus and introduced me to the staffs. It was done by noon..My colleagues took me out for lunch in IKEA..
After lunch Wahida needs to get her watch fixed so we were looking for a watchmart. Cudn't find one in IKEA so we walked over to The Curve and OGAWA was promoting their new massage chair so Wahida said lets try out. It's free.So, we got a 10min free massage! It was fantastic, so soothing, it felt like the hands of a masseur was massaging my back..

We came back to the office around 2pm. I'm suppose to get my PC fixed, but the IS guys were busy..So i was totally bored till 5.30pm..Then i went back home...
