I'm nervous

My institute will be conducting a 2-day Microbial Identification Workshop tomorrow and Fri. I will be the person-in-charge for Lab Session 1 and 2, assisted by our M.Sc student, Ms Yip. I was informed that 9 participants have registered for the workshop, 5 veterinar doctors, 2 lecturers, and 2 microbiology students. Hmmm...maybe some of them have familiar and the expert in microbiology field.

I feel so nervous that I'm not able to deliver the practical lab just exactly my colleagues are expecting for. It's my desire to prove to them that I can do any task assigned to me successfully.

Dear God, please give me wisdom and guidance.

Amen

Jaket baru

Hapinya...arini dapat jaket baru daripada cepp. Thanx :D

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

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..

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 :-)

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

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.
