I rindu my kampung

Tengah dengar lagu Oh Betapa Indahnya..joget-based music rohani song.. I rindu sangat2 to my kampung!!!!!!!!

OH BETAPA INDAHNYA
DAN BETAPA ELOKNYA
BILA SAUDARA SEIMANHIDUP DALAM KESATUAN

BAK URAPAN DI KEPALA HARUN
YANG KE JANGGUT DAN JUBAHNYA TURUN
SEPERTI EMBUN YANG DARI HERMON
MENGALIR KE BUKIT SION

KE SANA T'LAH DIPERINTAHKAN TUHANAGAR BERKAT-BERKAT DICURAHKANKEHIDUPAN UNTUK SELAMANYAOH BETAPA INDAHNYA

Today goes amazingly..

First of all, i thank God for everything that has happened into my life, despite my time was fully loaded with lots of work in my office today till finally back home and doing the housewife job.
Early morning i received a call from bank informing me that my BPA form was missing with my signature. Then, i have to complete some works in 2 labs simultaneously which are the food analysis lab and HPLC lab. At the same time, my responsibility is to develop a proposal for MOA grant application. Sharp at 11am, my Dr called for a meeting and it was done for 2 hours. I really didnt realize how the time goes today.


1 thing that i really really and really happy was after receiving the good news from my father regarding to the land that my hubby's going to buy. The price is RM57ooo only for 10.7 acres where it was initially cost of RM69500. I dunno how it comes but for sure it was because of my father initiative. It's truely meaningful to me since it succesfully rejuvenates my hubby's trust to my family. Segala pujian dan ucapan syukur hanya bagiMu Tuhan!


Finally, my hubby's ambition to buy a land is almost achieved. Everyday he opened up the 'mudah.my' website to find suitable land there. He would like to plant the land with Rubber tree. And i heard that the land that we are going to buy might be included under 'kelompok' or goverment scheme for Rubber plantation. It means we only have to wait another 5-7 years to harvest the income without having to think about costing for cleaning, planting, monitoring and any other related costs.


After back home, i was rushing in preparing meals for dinner. I love masakan kampung. Last few days i have bought 'labu' and thus today, i made a decision to cook it. Mmmm...it might be not my' hubby's taste eventhough he himself is 100% born and 'membesar' in kampung environment..Huuuuu i rindu my mom's cook on jantung pisang masak lemak, also the papaya, nangka and the labu.


Ohooo...my laundry is awaiting as well!!! Ok dear..im coming :D

Activities on Cuti Deepavali

Napa lah cuti deepavali ni jatuh pada hari sabtu?? why not on sunday so that monday will be a holiday..mmm tak pa lah..

By the way, im so happy today becos my hubby pun cuti. After spending almost all the day for sleeping, i saw my hubby look so 'cergas'. And the most important thing is he willing to accompany me to go shopping at jusco bukit indah. At first, we went at the 2ndlevel and surveyed the home furnitures there. Next year we are going to move to our newly-bought house at Setia Eco Garden. Then my hubby said it might take cost about rm30k tu fullfill the house with furnitures..whatever lah bit..you are the one who preparing the money and my responsibility will be in decorating our 'SOTIRA home sweet home' :D.



Ohoooo...we sempat juga main game..racing kreta tu..but me dunno how to play. hentam ja lah..as a result, after a short while then the game was over hahahha..

We thereafter took our dinner at the ground floor food court so called Arena. Then, i went to the 1st floor for shopping baju while he requested to wait for me outside the premis. I understand he tak larat go round2 with me. Let him take a rest there. Well everyone knows most woman habit while shopping kan. .Masuk sana masuk sini..belek itu belek ini..try few clothes but only buy 1 or mostly didnt buy anything. It took about 1 hour for me to evaluate the clothes there and only 1 seluar pendek yang berjaya menarik perhatian me huhuhu..its price was RM69.

Me dah takut hubby would angry due to long time waiting. After paying the parking coupon, I ran to fetch him in the car. Luckily dia tak marah pun. He was under good mood today. Thanks Lord for that :D. He frequently getting angry due to my lateness in buying things. That's why Im would rather prefer to go alone instead but today he himself offered to accompany me. Rajin pla dia. Mayb dah cukup rest kot arini :D.

At 9, im lonely again becos he went for futsal. No wonder lah he ponteng main bola petang tadi. So, it's the time to melipat kain yang dah bertimbun tu..That's all our activities on Deepavali holiday today. Yang penting..we have spent much time being together today. I love it so much..

Capturing pic using my laptop's camera

Today, im going to relax myself without doing any analysis in the lab. I would like to focus more on my biopesticide proposal. Btw, before started my works let me take some pictures using my laptop camera :D See how tembam my cheek it is!
















Yeaahhh...Have fun!
Enough Mailin..initiate ur work now! 9 o'clock oredi..

Feel so lonely

Today is my hubby's turn to work overnite to monitor/supervise the bangla-workers who are working at night shift. Im feel so lonely as he seldomly have to work at night. He told me every engineer will get their turn once for every 3-4 months. I dunno what to do but surfing. I have taken my dinner at 7 just now. Then im pushing myself to surf internet and hearing True Worshipers song, viewing my frens' fb photos till finally i met 1 of my fren profile consists her blogspot. It attracted me to go tru the blog. Huuuu...very interesting story. She dedicated her blogspot entirely for her family's story including her newly born baby. That's a good blogspot as she shared with us her experiences undergo pregnancy, delivery the baby, breastfeeding and taking care her baby. It seems encouraging me to have my own baby soon.


Im waiting for the call from hubby before started to update my blog. Then suddenly my phone ringing. Even only a short conversation with him but it was trully meaningful to me. I've set in my mind to go back home during lunch hour 2moro..Will go out as early as 12pm and return back at 3pm. After a while, i decided to take 2 hours leave tomorrow so that i dun have to return back to utm again. Frankly speaking, I would like to spend longer free time with him since he's a busy man with tight working schedule.

Our routine life schedule is:
He will wake up as early as 5.30am while me at 6.50am and wait for a series alarm snoozing before getting myself readi. Ya honestly it is very hard to get up in the morning Huhuh...Salute my hubby for being such strong enough to go for work in the dark of morning everyday (mon-sat).


Meanwhile in the evening, my hubby will reach home at 5pm earlier than me for about half an hour. His daily activity is playing football at the nearest field and sometimes cant even wait till im back. Deep from my heart i not really like he spend much times for football. But as he never stop me for shopping, i think i should accept the fact that football is part of his life since he plays football started from his childhood. He only be available at home around 8pm. So guys just imagine how much time left for us together in a day after working and fullfiling his hobby? 10pm we will readi for sleeping again. I always asked for holiday eventhough i knew would receive the same answer "nanti2 or tiada masa". How pain my heart is whenever listening that sort of respond. We cant even having the opportunity for honeymoon yet.


NOw i believe MONEY is not for everything..Life should balance with a happy family as well. From the religious sight of view, mengumpul harta duniawi is not the entity of Cristianity. Carilah wajah Tuhan yang sebenar. Be consistent and have faith on Jesus Christ. To me, our curent life is just enough. Doesnt have to work harder, buying much assets and so on because GOD has prepared everything for us in future.

14.10.2009 Ucapan syukur

Syukur kepada Tuhan atas Anugerah kehidupan yang diberikan kepada ku. Dah genap 26 tahun aku berada di bumi ciptaan-NYA. Setiap hari aku diberikan nafas baru untuk menjalani kehidupan sbg seorang anak, , pelajar, kawan, dan kini sbg seorg isteri dan pekerja.





Bapa di syurga, pada pagi ini (sblm aku memulakan pekerjaan) aku mahu mengucap syukur di atas segala rencana dan pekerjaan-MU di dalam kehidupan ku. Benar Tuhan, pada mulanya aku lahir dari keluarga yang tidak mengenal Engkau. Tapi kerana kasihMU, aku dan seluruh adik beradik ku telah diselamatkan dan ibu bapa kami juga kini dalam proses untuk menerima Engkau sebagai Juruselamat.


Kini, aku telah pun berkahwin dan punya kerjaya yang mmg sesuai dgn peribadi ku. Dalam usia semuda ini, kehidupan ku dah sempurna..segalanya aku dah ada baik kereta rumah mahupun career..Hanya 1 yg aku tgh tunggu..My own generation :-) Aku juga berupaya membantu org lain yg memerlukan ker'na aku tahu Tuhan, Engkau telah menurunkan berkat ke atas ku agar aku dapat membantu saudara2 seiman yang lain yang memerlukan. Ajar aku ya Bapa agar terus setia bersamaMu dan jgn biarkan sesekali iman ku goyah ke atas Engkau. Ini doa ku Tuhan dan aku mahu menyerahkan seluruh jiwa raga dan kehidupan ku ke atas Mu. Jadilah segala sesuatu sesuai rencana Mu dan pakailah aku untuk melaksanakan segala rencanaMu di bumi ini..Amin

YER 29:11 Sebab Aku ini mengetahui rancangan-rancangan apa yang ada pada-Ku mengenai kamu, demikianlah firman TUHAN, yaitu rancangan damai sejahtera dan bukan rancangan kecelakaan, untuk memberikan kepadamu hari depan yang penuh harapan.

Quite tiring lately

Huuuuu...agak penat me kerja akhir2 ni..
Tak menang tangan wt keja..kena buat proposal untuk apply grant from MOA (perah otak fren), then doing sample analysis in the lab..involve in development of product lagi..These 2 months i've to take over my fren's work who is currently under maternity leave.But it's ok.keja itu 1 ibadah juga.Gaining knowledge along the way..Good for me actually. People may not see my efforts at this moment but i believe 1 day they gonna appreciate it!




Be strong Mailin..take it as a CHALLENGE, not as a BURDEN! have fun on your works and do it with your sincere heart and work passionately..Tuhan pasti akan menyediakan yang terbaik bagimu. Amen.

My works at CEPP (27.04.2009 - Present)

27 April 2009 me melaporkan diri dengan Penolong Pendaftar, Chemical Engineering Pilot Plant sbb dlm offer letter yg dikeluarkan oleh pihak pendaftar UTM, i've to melapor diri directly to jabatan di mana saya ditempatkan.. Supposed to be here in Mac but my bos wanted me to stay longer and finish up all remaining research works.



1st day coming tu mmm..skema n macam orang bodoh je.sopan and nicely greeting everybody. First few days memang takda kerja..in addition, all staff went to desaru for bengkel kecemerlangan staf..me tak dapat join sebab dah lambat masuk..terkebil kebil lah den sorang2 di ofis masa tu..jadi operator.tukang angkat call yang mcm pisang goreng panas tu.

After short meeting with Pengarah R&D, he decided to assign me under SBU analysis..
Mula2 aku mcm tak setuju sbb I'm coming from microb people..Why not just assign me to be fermentation or EM group..But now i really appreciated his decision. Although it seems very challenging for me initially, but I've the opportunity to operate complex equipment such as HPLC, GC, ICP-MS and few other instruments. Not everything will happen according to our plan. But one thing I really sure: God's plan is always PERFECT at His RIGHT TIMING!

ANd started from September, I and another RO were placed in food analysis lab during the maternity leave of the in-charge officer.I'm almost competent to carry out food analysis such as protein, ash, moisture and currently in a struggle efforts competent myself for crube fiber..sgt mencabar but it's good for me..kami dah berjaya running the newly bought fiberterm and vapodest instrument..the supplier said fiberterm tu sama harga pesona and vapodest might be civic..imagine how expensive the equipments are!

Thanks to God for colouring my life with such nice experience in my career :-)

The Journey of 2 become 1

We managed to realize our promise to get married after 3 years enggaged..Ya of course once we succesfully completed our study..
Proud to the draw the journey of milestone (it's look funny listing down the important dates here but I don't care. To me, as they are very important milestones in our life, it's not a wasting space to write here in "Our Humble Life Journey" page...Here we go!
11 JUNE 2002 - Couple Day (When were studying in UTM together...lots of memories)
19 JUNE 2005 - Merisik Day (Sort of adat kampung prior to engagement)
10 DEC 2005 - Engagement Day (Carried out during the first semester we did our masters study)
27&29 DEC 2008 - Wedding Day (Carried out after we finished study and started the working life)



Yeahh finally!!!!
Wedding reception at my kampung (Kota Marudu) was held on 27 Dec 2008 while at Kuala Penyu was on 29 Dec 2008.







I received a beautiful ring, white gold neclace with a diamond pendant, diamond earing, and white gold bracelet for the wedding gift, which I still keep it nicely until now.

Experience on Research Exhibitions

I had actively involved in many research exhibition during working with CREG.. Mula2 masuk tu my prof asked me to join rmc utk particpate dlm Pameran PECIPTA di klcc. At this time, i went as a visitor..suka2 ja lah..amik gambar..excited sbb kuar dr jb area huhu.. If not mistaken, the 1st exhibition that I ever attended as exhibitor was organized by chemical eng students from fkkksa..then chemical engineering carnival held in DSI UTM..at the moment, we just took a participation to suppport the program. Yang bertandingnya budak2 secondary school..hmm hebat2 juga budak2 ni..some had done a good research..budak2 mrsm, asrama penuh..teringat kat my bro yg suka join pertandingan robotik and roket.



Im quite lucky for having the opportunity with such a fruitful, innovative, highly discipline and well organized lecturer like prof nasa..she likes to join exhibition, one of the way of rising up her name in utm. dulu ngn bos master, he likes to expose me to join conference..buat pembentangan at that kind of event. Both are good for me actually. INATEX 2008..organized by rmc during utm convocation.was held at pesta convo.seronok jugalah.walaupun sgt2 bz for preparation..ye lah..dah berhempas2 pulas in the lab, doing experiment and interprete data. Now, the moment to share your achievements to others..We got Silver ja. Apapun, syukur la..at least tidak la sia2 kami bekerja kuat.
Due to the Silver Award, then we managed to get involve in MTE..conducted at pwtc kl. Kami stay di pan pac hotel..4 days altogether kami berkampung di kl..penat tapi seronok..exposed myself to outside.tried my best to answer all questions from visitors..Macam2 karenah visitors.Some were sincerely asking bout our product.I mean they were really want to know bout our research.While some b'tanya seems like nak kenakan kita ja or nak tau sejauh mana kita tau ttg research. And definitely some nak compare ngn product or research dia..Me pla, suka tnya2 to other exhibitors (bila ada masa i gi jalan2 to other booth) with the hope i would gain some knowledge for my coming research hahaha.
Kagum sungguh ngan my bos during the evaluation day..huuu bila agaknya me jadi mcm her..


Yeaaa..we won again..event though dpt Silver again but at least it has opened my eyes on the real research world. Mmm..kalau dapat gold kan best..leh gi Geneva pla.



Here at CEPP, mcm takda chance ja gi mana2 exhibition. Moreover, i was assigned to be in analysis lab..memang lah one day i can be the one who expert in hplc n gc..it's ok.Pasti Tuhan punya rencana menempatkan saya di sini.

TV3 shooting in CREG Lab

Im not really remember the exact date Aidid and geng from tv3 came for shooting in our lab.
Mmm...me jadi pelakon wt research huhu..untuk iskandar malaysia kunun..I was informed that only selected labs in utm yang terlibat for this shooting..I think the most productive one lah yg been selected for that.













Kenangan....
I still remember..one of the crew asyik tanya tu..tny ni..then finally he told me that he is from tawau (ntah la betul ke tak)..encem macam aidid takpe hehe



Me in CREG UTM (01.08.2007 - 26.04.2009)

My 1st job right after graduated was in Chemical Reaction Engineering Group (CREG) UTM as a Research Officer..JUst At the opposite building of my previous lab during doing my Master study. Thanks to Prof Dr Nor Aishah for giving me the oppotunity to work under her project, funded by MOSTI..Quite challenging jg lah work with her..very perfectionist and strict lecturer..



Research yg kami buat tu tentang oil production from empty palm fruit bunch (tandan kelapa sawit)..sesak nafas jg me dibuatnya bcos im from biology background suddenly working with chemical engineer..hmmm jadi chemist pla..
Macam2 i buat..started from amik sample from FELDA Bukit Besar Kulai..Pastu grind pla sample sehalus mungkin..increase reaction surface area lah katakan..Then, bila dapat result, tulis papers and masuk exhibition either pameran besa or pertandingan.. LOt of experience jugalah me dapat kerja ngan CREG ni.Prosiding papers lbh kurang 5 if not mistaken (national and international), paper for journal -2 (impact factor 3.151 at 2008, currently 4 somethin la hoho), pameran pkat fakulti n UTM..plg besar INATEX UTM and MTE KL..seronok bila menang hehe.

Our Memories in UTM

UTM is truly meaningful for us and leaving much unexplainable memories in our life..
Here we studied…
Here we spent our teenager’s life…
Here we met each other, became a friend and a loving couple…
And most importantly, here I started my career!
Thanks UTM...really appreciate you. 

My hubby came to JB on Mei 1999 and fighting for B.Eng Mechanical (Aeronautic). One of the killer course in UTM, I guess.Suprisingly, his ever bestfriend/coursemate/housemate/roomate was used to be my former classmate's brother. Such a small world!



May 2011, my turn to join UTM for the course of B.Sc (Industrial Biology)

As far as I remembered, he started to approach me since my 1st semester over here. Then, we are officially declared as loving couple on 11 June 2002. I am very excited to recall our sweet memories including the
studying moments in PSZ, wishing the best of luck whenever attending exam, having an appointment for lunch or dinner, going to church, ronda2 with his TZM motocycle WDR 6014, sharing expenditure whenever'money-starving' occurred and many more....



He graduated on Aug 2004....




Meanwhile, Aug 2005 was gonna be mine graduation day. Unfortunately, my parents couldn't manage to attend due to money constraint.




Ya..sememangnya sudah rencana Tuhan for us to further study together. He still loyal to be with his faculty (FKM) while me climbing up to the FKKKSA for M.Sc Bioprocess. But he took a decision to change his course to M.ENg Mecanical Marine..No longer aeronautic lehh..He did mention to me "kalau boleh 1 day saya mau ambik course automotif pla supaya saya bole blajar all 3 fields in transportation - kapal terbang, kapal laut dan kenderaan darat" Mmm..whatever la Bit as long as you mampu. During the study, i took full time research while him took the taught course..Me ni antara orang yang quite fast doing research bcos can complete lab works within 3 sem.At the moment, lab seems to be my entire life....Bit pula tak bole speed up sbb his lecturer didnt allow him to take much credits in every sem. Ya i understand that becos he confront with a tough course.
Aug 2007..yeahh akhirnya both of us were graduated. Yg besnya, coincidently  konvo pada hari yg sama. Believe it or not, we received our scroll by sharing the same stage at the same session of the day!. So, my fam and his fam came together into the DSI hall for witnessing our convocation. wow..God Timing is so wonderful! Here are some of the pics taken during our Master Convo.






Oh ya..lupa nak bagitau. During my 1st sem of my master study and BIt on the 3rd, kami telah pun bertunang. Of course i still remember the day "10 Dec 2005". A Simple majlis yang hanya dihadari oleh sanak saudara terdekat from both parties. We made the perjanjian to get married 3 years later..After dah habis study..Guys, see lah later whether kami boleh kotakan janji atau tidak!
01 June 2007, Bit managed to get a job in a well-known shipyard company in Kota Singapura as an Engineer. 2 months before our master convocation.




Till now, Bit still with his job..sayang mau tinggal itu SingDollar with 7-8 months yearly bonus. Manyak duit tapi tention..have to give high commitment on works. Very stressfull.Dun haf much time for cuti2 msia or even for balik kampung..(Aiyaaa...thinking positively la sayang..mana da keja yg tiada pressure)..

Me pla started a job in UTM as a Research Officer on 01 Aug 2007 in CREG FKKKSA, UTM. Alahh my former faculty la..Hapi sgt sbb bulan tu kami konvo jg:-) Cumanya keja ni contract ja..have to renew every 6 or 12 months. Gaji pun bergantung pada budi bicara bos. Tapi syukur jg la sbb walaupun gaji tak ikut taraf master, tapi still lebih tinggi berbanding others. Almost 3k jg hehe..Berkat Tuhan! At the mean time, I never give up to find other job yg tetap lah kalau boleh.

Then finally, 27 April 2009 was my duty report as a Research Officer in CEPP UTM for jawatan TETAP..yes! now I become UTM Staf oredi. Nevertheless, deep inside my heart, I feel some sort of sad feeling because my real target is to be a lecturer in UMS...But i still keep in mind hopefully 1 day, saya dapat phd and jadi lecturer di sana..so weekend senang la balik kampung kan? heheh..I love Sabah!!




That's all the journey of our life in UTM..look so simple and too short of time..BUt, fren out there..believe it or not it has been 10 years ++ and 8 years ++ for bit and me, respectively living in jb. Nampak gaya jadi johorian lah kami ni. Rumah pun dah beli di sini, keta moto suma plat nomb johor..anak pun mayb akan lahir di johor jg huuhh..never imagine these before!
Apapun, me sangat yakin dan percaya akan Firman Tuhan dalam Yer 29:11
"Sebab Aku ini mengetahui rancangan-rancangan apa yang ada pada-Ku mengenai kamu, demikianlah firman TUHAN, yaitu rancangan damai sejahtera dan bukan rancangan kecelakaan, untuk memberikan kepadamu hari depan yang penuh harapan"

Aku akan terima dengan hati yg sukacita dan bersyukur ttg apapun berkat yg Tuhan telah sediakan dan janjikan sebab semuanya adalah rancangan damai utk kehidupan kami.
Buktinya, see how wonderful and amazing God's planning in my life..Giving me a very supportive family and relatives, education, husband, career etc. Thanks Lord! Segala pujian hanya bagi-MU. Amin.

01.10.2009 My blog being created

I'm no longer single at this moment onwards. Hubby is the most priority in my life right now. So, I created a blog entitled the combination of our names JOHNES+MAILIN.

Yeah..here it is :-)
http://johnesmailin.blogspot.com.

The blog was born on 01.10.2009.


I would like to dedicate this blog to keep all the sweet&sour memories of our life journey..
