My Fairytale Night

It has been 3 weeks since my graduation dinner at Swiss Garden Hotel, Kuantan…. I kinda lost track of time when I’m at home, just like how I lost track of my age when I left school, so pardon me for being a little too late to write some thoughts on the memorable night…

It was a night to remember… Being part of the committee, I don’t think I should praise or criticize the event, kena batang hidung sendiri je nanti kan, but like it or not, it was memorable…

So in this article, I would write on the things that I wanna remember of the night…

Swiss Garden Hotel, the venue of the dinner was quite nice… The hall was big and beautifully decorated according to the fairytale theme… The sound system was good… The buffet was delicious, although I only managed to eat less than a plate of the main course, a bowl of soup and some desserts due to my duties… The only downside was that they only gave us permission to use their hotel room until midnight, I kinda hoped that I could spend the night there… hehe

The performances during the dinner were entertaining… The opening video by rx6th sisters was the only fairytale-themed performance of the night… The poetry by abang Badri was heart-felt… The “Hantu Kak Limah” video by rx6th brothers was super hilarious to me (korang memang berbakat, mantap)…

The song sang by cagan n the gang was addictive, it kept playing in my head for a week or so… And last but not least, the performance by committees, which was not the best vocal performance of the night, but it was dedicated to our dearest lecturers, and I do hope they felt our gratitude to them…

The award-giving (king, queen, best community attachment etc) was not exciting for me, maybe because being PC, I knew all the results before they announce it, so maybe there is no suspense there… hehe…

The photography session was a photography session, how I do I comment on that... But I loved the informal photography session much more… The part when I took pictures of me and my friends using my w995… However, being an inferior camera to the sort of DSLR, some of the pictures were not-so-good especially in the dim lights…

Anyway, good or crap, these are the pictures that I have to live with throughout my life, because I don’t think I’m gonna experience this again in this lifetime… Nah tengok sikit gambaq2..

The sesi bersalam dengan lecturers was awesome… I wished that all lecturers came, so that we could thank them all and say our proper goodbyes…

The sesi bersalam among rx6th was sad… I did not say goodbye (I think), because I hoped that we could meet again someday insyaAllah…

I would like to wrap up this article with special thanks to my boss PM Matmin who trusted me, to my same-portfolio-co-worker atiqah ( n sorry if I disturbed your family time in the preparation of this event), to other committees from other portfolios (especially bunif who has been extra helpful), to my dearest rx6th friends, to the junior committees and to miss MC (who has been an excellent MC in a program with many last minute changes)…

I'll cherish the memories forever...

Semua Tentang Kita

This song has been playing over and over in my head subconsciously since AGD nite... Kinda a good song to describe my feelings at the moment... I'm still accepting the fact that a very amazing part of my life is over...

Mewakili Malaysia ke USA

Hmm, dah lama tak update blogspot ni... Hari ni saya nak cerita ckit pasal pengalaman saya dan kawan-kawan "mewakili Malaysia" ke USA... dalam Travian... hehe... (Translation: kami main Travian di speedserver US, against pemain-pemain dari seluruh dunia... hehe)

Apa tu Travian? Travian tu adalah game online yang berkonsepkan pembinaan negara bangsa (ceh wah)... Bila daftar je untuk main, setiap pemain akan di amanahkan untuk membangunkan satu kampung daripada totally kosong...  

Basically, kena bangunkan kampung, menakluk kampung lain, buat tentera, serang dan pertahankan kampung daripada serangan musuh...

Camne nak bangunkan kampung tu jadi lebih maju? Mula-mula mestilah kena upgrade resources (ladang tanaman, lombong besi, kuari tanah liat dan kawasan pembalakan) dulu... Bila ada sumber-sumber ni barulah dapat majukan kampung, buat bangunan-bangunan canggih dan bina tentera...

ni paparan berkaitan resources yang perlu di upgrade...

Main game Travian ni xde la untuk suka-suka release tension jek, banyak pengajaran yang boleh dapat daripada game ni... Sesetengah pengajaran tu even boleh membuat kita lebih memahami realiti dunia kita...

Salah satu pengajaran utama yang saya pelajari adalah teamwork... It is almost impossible to survive alone in Travian (quoted from The Taskmaster)... Kerapkali kita akan memerlukan pertolongan bila kampung kita akan diserang oleh musuh dan kita juga memerlukan pemain-pemain lain untuk sistem pertukaran barang (barter trade)...

Jadi penyelesaian terbaik adalah dengan join mana-mana alliance... Alliance yang saya join kat server US tu sangat interactive, bila ada ahli-ahli kena serang, leader alliance akan inform kepada ahli-ahli alliance yang lain dan akan coordinate pertahanan di kampung yang diserang tuh... 

Sebagai ahli, bila kita tengah aman dan banyak tentera tu, hulur-hulur lah bantuan kpd orang lain, hidup ni ibarat roda, we never know bila turn kita kena serang plak kan... And yes, bila saya kena serang, beribu-ribu bantuan saya dapat... hehe

3 kaum yang boleh dipilih, setiap satu unik dan ada kelebihan masing-masing...

Pengajaran kedua adalah negara yang cepat maju adalah negara yang aman makmur... Sumber-sumber setiap negara adalah terhad, kalau negara tak aman, sumber tu mestilah diguna untuk menguatkan ketenteraan kan, pembangunan will take a back seat... 

Kalau negara aman (kurang diserang), sumber-sumber boleh diguna untuk memajukan negara, tapi kena juga pastikan aspek ketenteraan terjaga, spend sebahagian sumber untuk upgrade tentera dan pertahanan, kalau tak bila kena serang sia-sia je... 

paparan bangunan2 dalam kampung...

Bila difikirkan, kita sangat beruntung hidup di Malaysia yang aman damai, sumber-sumber ekonomi kita boleh digunakan untuk memajukan negara (berbanding negara cam Korea Utara)...

Banyak sebenarnye pengajaran dan manfaat permainan ni, tapi rasanya dah cukup panjang cerita dah, bosan plak kalau panjang sangat... hehe

Neway, saya dah berhenti pun mewakili Malaysia di speedserver US, oleh sebab time constraint dan exam pun dah dekat, berhenti jela main walaupun hati sangat berat nak meninggalkan 3 kampung yang penat dibina daripada scratch... 

Sekarang ni kami main kat speedserver Malaysia plak, relax ckit coz pemain pun tak begitu agresif... hehe

Ps: Grafik game ni sangat simple, dan boleh dimainkan even guna internet yang merangkak2, tapi yang best adalah game ni sangat interaktif (online kan)... Don't judge this game by its graphic ok... hehe

Btw, post ni bukan nak promote game kepada sesiapa, just reminding myself of the good times I had playing there, the helpful alliance-mates that I had and all the interesting new things I learnt there... :)

Cahaya Hati

Allah engkau dekat penuh kasih sayang
Takkan pernah engkau biarkan hamba-Mu menangis
Karna kemurahan-Mu
Karna kasih sayang-Mu

Hanya bila diri-Mu
Ingin nyatakan cinta
Pada jiwa yang rela dia kekasih-Mu 

Kau selalu terjaga yang memberi segala

Allah Rahman Allah Rahim
Allahu Ya Ghafar Ya Nurul Qolbi
Allah Rohman Allah Rahim
Allahu Ya Ghafar Ya Nurul Qolbi

Di setiap nafas di segala waktu
Semua bersujud memuji memuja asma-Mu
Kau yang selalu terjaga yang memberi segala

Setiap mahluk bergantung pada-Mu
Dan bersujud semesta untuk-Mu
Setiap wajah mendamba cinta-Mu cahaya-Mu

Yaa Allah Ya Rahman
Yaa Allah Yaa Alllah Yaa Allah
Ya Nurul Qolbi
Yaa Allah

Interview SPA untuk jawatan Pegawai Farmasi U41

24 Feb 2011 - It was the day I went for my SPA interview 

(SPA = Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Awam)... 

The interview was held at the SPA Interview Office at Mahkota Square, Kuantan (transport was not provided)...

I was nervous before the interview, I checked (and recheck) my resume a few times the night before, and I woke up early to dress up nicely...

Upon arrival at the office, we were asked to register our attendance at the counter there and were given a form  to be filled... We were again asked to justified our hospital of choice for PRP posting in the form...

Then we waited for our turn to check our resume and original copies of MyKad, birth certificate, SPM certificate, confirmation letter, latest result slip etc...

I was interviewed by Datuk Hj. Mustapha (SPA officer) and Mr. Leong (Ketua Jabatan Farmasi from HTAA)... My interview was rather different from my other friends, instead of being grilled with questions about government and our beloved country, I was only asked about personal questions (by the SPA officer) and then I was bombarded with clinical questions from the pharmacist...

The questions that was asked in my interview:

• Tell me about yourself (standard question, I don't think they paid attention to my answer pun, they were taking time to flip through my resume and co-curricular certificates)
• Status perkahwinan dan dot dot dot? (I've never told this part of the story to anyone... hehe)
• Penjawat awam kena bersedia untuk ditempatkan dimana-mana saja... (this is not a question actually, but a rather long lecture by the Dato' to me, he never asked me about my choice of PRP posting)
• Is pharmacy your first choice?
• Why don't you wanna take up medic? (Irrelevant question kan, especially after I've completed 4 years of B.Pharm)
• Asthma... (explain briefly on the disease, pathophysiology, treatment etc)
• Treatment of asthma...
• Counseling on inhaled corticosteroid use...
• Counseling asthmatic patients on importance of compliance to inhaled corticosteroid therapy...

That's all the questions that I still remember coz it's been one week since the interview and I've maybe forgotten some things from the interview...

OK, enough with the interview talk, let's enjoy some pictures I took while waiting for my interview turn (after being bombarded with questions in the interview, there is no more mood to snap pictures after the interview)... hehe

Overall, I can say that the interview did not go as I expected, it was not breeze in the park, it was hard... But by the end of it, the only feeling that I felt was relief... 

I am happy that it ended but I am also concerned about being posted alone at Sabah or Sarawak because I was not even asked on my choice for PRP posting in the interview... 

Now that it has ended, the only thing I can do now is pray to Allah... Hopefully I'll be posted at the most suitable place for me (Allah knows best kan)... Hehe
