anyway, what have I done in 4 months ..kata sv aku hahaha ...this is what he ask me today masa kami dok review my work schedule for June ...well, for one, aku dah buat pembentangan abstract two days ago ...kecut perut gak coz pembentangan tu wajib ..for all PhD students kat school aku ...i front all Head of School, most academics and non-academic staffs ...fellow PhD students and some Master students ...giler ngko..penuh bilik tu ....and akak pulak first presenter ...but Thank God, it went very well indeed ...sv aku senyum lebar after aku abis present ..and dia sangat2 happy afterwards coz we were getting great feedbacks from the faculty ..but masalah sekarang, since aku aku nak balik cuti ...byk kerja kena buat ...last2 after today's meeting, it looks like aku bukan balik cuti pun ...it is more of a working holiday for me ..i have a long list of things to do there ..and a list of data/info that i need to get and bring back here in order to help me with my proposal write up ...tapi biler fikir2 ok jugak lah ...at least my momentum kerja masih jalan ...and i will be at home...
dalam masa 4 bulan nie jugak aku sibuk tahap gaban ngan kelas stats and kelas development teori aku ..well, the semester is coming to an end ...next week is the last week for my stats class ...and final exam on 19th june ....kelas teori dah abis this week ..so lega akak ....but, guess what, my sv dah ada two line up for my supplementary classes next trimester ....nak buat camne ..he is my sv kan ...and sv yang bagus pulak tu ..so akak ikut kan ajer, walaupun mengomel dalam ati hahahaha ....tapi demi PhD and study, buat ajer lah ..lagipun apa aku nak kata lagi kan ..dia dah bagi aku balik 3.5 weeks tu ...both of us will be leaving NZ on the same day nanti...dia gi France ..aku balik Mysia ...
akhirnya, selepas 3.5 months baru dorang boh nama aku kat pintu ...yea, carik lah aku kat bilik paling ujung sekali (itu arahan aku dulu), now i can say..alah, pintu paling ujung sekali...ada nama i kat pintu hahahaha ...over tak???
selain tu ..this 4th month of my study agak mencabar ...banyak benda2 yang aku buat tu semua nya memerlukan kesabaran yang tinggi ...kena byk membaca as I have reach the stage yang mana aku kena buat my conceptual framework ...target aku sebenarnya Julai ....or even august ...but sv suggest I should bring the date forward considering aku more or less have reched that stage ...katanya lah ....so it was tough having to read ..read...read...and more reading ...and kekadang apa yang dibaca tu langsug tak boleh digunakan ...frustrating tau ..spending hours on an article, and to find out that it is not useful at all ....and being abusy with stats sangat tak membantu ....my time management sucks! and my office dynamics had changed ...now dah sebulan dua org tu meninggalkan aku hahaha so opis sunyi ...i have nobody totalk to dalam opis tu ..memang le ok dapat opis sesorang tapi sangat sunyi and takde teman bertanya biler aku stuck on something tau!!!!
alah terbalik pulak ...telengkan ajer le kepala korang ekkk ...malas akak nak rotate ..
Masa Mike belah ari tu, banyak benda dia wariskan kat aku hahaha ...dia nie baik ati sebenarnya ...agak pemalu ...tapi biler dah kenal rapat memang banyak cakap lah ... dia tahu aku "mungkin" akan ambik stats tahun 2 next year (sv aku ngan sv dia org yang sama - and i thik sv aku ada mentioned this to him) ..so, dia wasiatkan buku2 stats dia kat aku ...hahaha so jimat akak, kalau betul kena ambik subjek nie nanti tak yah beli lah buku2 tu .... pastu siap dapat dia punya kabinet ...bukan apa, kabinet aku takde kunci, ku mintak from the guy yang jaga ...tapi mamat tu sangat tak efficient ...dah masuk 4 bulan pun tak bagi2 lagi kunci ...so mike tukar kan ...kabinet dia tu dia bagi aku, and kabinet aku tukar ke tempat dia ...but dia punya lah baik sampai bersihkan siap2 cabinet tu, and leaves all the filing folders intacts ..siap alpabethically organised ok ...so, masa aku masuk opis the monday selepas dia belah tu, memang terkejut ...hehehe tak sangka, coz masa aku mula2 masuk..dia nie muka serius nar ...aku nak tegur pun takut ...by the time dia belah tu, boleh dikatakan kami agak baik ... so, mid-sept nanti baru aku jumpa dia lagi ....
tu kisah study ...in my personal life, life is still very much the same ...every week, especially weekends, memang aku ada jemputan kuar with friends ...gi potluck dinner lah ..gi night out lah ...wayang lah ...dinner and hang out ...macam2 lah ...and next thursday, kalau jadi, aku akan gi one of the concerts masa Wellington Jazz Festival ...with Tia and her friends ...a concert by Chucho Valdes ..mamat tua yang dah pernah menang Grammy Awards beberapa kali ....alang2 ada peluang tengok kan, sebab tu aku pergi hahaha ....i have more friends here now ...for someone yang baru 4 bulan kat sini kira ok lah tu ...i am surviving ...bak kata a friend of mine, and i quote " you have made many friends in this short time, and I can see that you have made Wellington as your home..." tapi realitinya, aku nampak happy and getting on with life di Welly, tapi ati aku tetap ingat kat rumah ....tetap ingat kat Alistair and Airell ...so, perhaps this short working holiday aku nanti akan dapat mengikis sedikit kerinduan kami bertiga hehehe ....
so, that is my 4th month in Welly ...padat ngan kerja mostly ...but every weekend memang akan ada masa untuk joli ...that's my coping strategy here ...kerja bagai nak rak masa weekdays ...and make sure ada 1 or 2 days yang tak buat kerja langsung ..but instead, gi joli like there is no tomorrow ...hahaha ..
aku umpama burung putih tu lah ...keseorangan mencari haluan di perantauan hahahaha sila lah muntah!!!
so, bring on bulan yang ke-5! I know the 4 weeks dalam bulan ke-5 nie akan berlalu lagi pantas ..sebab aku banyak sangat benda nak kena setel kan in this 4 weeks ....

Biar lah panas terik cuaca...asalkan sejuk dengan kasih sayang dan makanan yang hebat hebat. LOL.
