Assalamualaikum..
How is everyone? Harapnya semua sihat-sihat dan happy-happy.. Akak sihat, just really missing you guys.. Last night for the first time in three weeks, akak dapat peluang jenguk internet. I figured, if I don't start keeping in touch with you people soon, I'm gonna miss out on more than just the demise of Pojan's infamous blog.. (-_-)
Maaf akak diamkan diri beberapa minggu ni. I know some of you tried to call (Pojan, Ati & Ann, thanks for the call and SMS! ^-^) tapi malangnya ofis akak tak condusif untuk line maxis. Nak ada line kena ke letak hp kat tingkap.. Maklum la hutan. For those waiting for me on blog or YM, it's going to take a while. FRIM ada policy against entertainment during work hours. Blog sites, youtube and YM off limits.. They really know how to effectively isolate their staff from the rest of the world... ^-^
It's also one of those embarrassing reasons why I'm blogging on email... please bear with me!
But to tell you the truth, I don't have much time for blogs or YM. Dari hari pertama tak habis-habis dengan meeting (7), workshop (2), kursus latihan (2) dan assignments (4). multi-tasking skill tak payah cakap. Nasib baik women are born to do it.
Tiap-tiap hari akak punch out lepas maghrib..
Itu baru tugasan in-house (dalaman). 20-23 april dekat kuala selangor masuk mangrove plots; 30 april meeting dengan press, buat demo harp trap & biopsi sampling; 10-15 mei dekat hutan simpan Pasoh untuk latihan teknikal ngan jabatan hutan (GIS, GPS, compass, mapping); 18-31 mei masuk gunung angsi 2 minggu tangkap kelawar; awal Jun gi forest complex belum temenggor untuk site and plot investigation. Seterusnya belum ada tarikh lagi, but the list goes on and on...
Cuti-cuti Malaysia without the cuti..
But I'm happy.. ^^ Dekat sini atmosphere dia lain sikit dari suasana akademik. People are actually knowledgeable and research methods sangat mantap. But they have high expectations of you, and they have no time for that saya budak baru belajar excuse. My supervisor keeps reminding me that she hired me because I can achieve things. So, the words I'm trying should never come out my mouth. I should be better than that.
Hari pertama briefing dah dapat beberapa amaran: 1). Punctuality 2). Individuality. 3). Never staying in the pantry area for more than 5 minutes. 4). No cliques. 5). Work smart with excellent results.
Haish..
I hope everyone else is having a good time too.
- Mun ngan sitot, apa cer? Mun, da dapat ke IELTs score?
- Shana, dah dapat dah beskalnya? Ah, nanti tak susah lagi nak jalan cross campus ;)
- Luppi, how do you rate the answers to that questionaire you got on your blog? I can't believe no one got A.. Are you really that hard to figure out....? ;p
- Nurul, nanti klu ada trip ke Tganu akak bagitau ek.. nak makan ban tuna nurul.. sedap!
- Ati, I've been hoping to spare some time for GA, but right now that's not possible.. hope you're doing ok so far.. Ooh, environmental law! ;)
Ann, i wish you could come to FRIM too. Keje memang banyak, tapi somehow stress free! ^^
- Pojan... sorry haritu tak dapat jawab call. I need your new number tho. And bro, what happened to your blog? sedih sangat BTV da RIP..
- Anyone got isma's email address n phone number? I'd like it please! Er, she's still pregnant.... right?
So, that's all for now.. I'm sure that's more than enough updates. I'm afraid I won't be in contact for sometime since outstation work starts from next week onwards. But if you need to reach me, email's the best way for now. I'll let you know my office number as soon as I get my own fixed line.. ngehehe!
Make du'a for me ya, and I'll make du'a for you too..
Salam,
Kak Sofie
