Ini pelik

Tiba-tiba call dan membebel

Tapi ada betulnya

Sudah beberapa bulan

Tapi masih belum faham

Apa yang perlu dibuat

Data berlambak-lambak

Tapi tidak menang tangan

Untuk buat analisis

Atau prokrastinasi saja

Terima kasih kerana menyedarkan saya

Terima kasih kamu.

Isu Sosial Yo!

Utusan Malaysia Online - Dalam Negeri


LPPKN pandang serius kahwin lewat


KUCHING 23 Mei – Lembaga Penduduk dan Pembangunan Keluarga Negara (LPPKN) memandang serius isu sosial yang berkaitan dengan trend melewatkan perkahwinan, terutama di kalangan wanita berpendidikan tinggi.


Timbalan Ketua Pengarah (Dasar) Lembaga Penduduk dan Pembangunan Keluarga Negara (LPPKN) Dr. Anjli Doshi Gandhi berkata, fenomena itu boleh membawa implikasi kepada institusi kekeluargaan.


Beliau berkata, data terkini menunjukkan 30 peratus wanita di antara umur 25 dan 29 tahun belum berkahwin berbanding 25 peratus untuk lelaki di antara umur 30 dan 34 tahun yang masih bujang.


“Kami memberi perhatian serius trend perkahwinan yang semakin di lewatkan, khasnya di kalangan wanita yang memberi alasan bahawa mereka tidak ada calon yang sesuai,” katanya pada taklimat dan bual bicara Dasar Keluarga Negara (DKN) peringkat negeri Sarawak, yang di hadiri Menteri di Pejabat Ketua Menteri Datin Fatimah Abdullah di sini hari ini.


Beliau berkata, bagi lelaki pula, keadaan kewangan yang belum stabil adalah antara faktor yang menyebabkan lelaki dalam lingkungan umur awal 30-an belum berkahwin.


Sementara itu, Fatimah dalam ucapannya berkata satu pertiga dari 27.5 juta penduduk di negara ini terdiri daripada mereka yang berumur 15 tahun ke bawah dan akan memasuki usia perkahwinan menjelang 2020.


Beliau berkata, satu dasar yang komprehensif amat diperlukan dalam menghadapi cabaran pembangunan keluarga kerana golongan itu akan memberi kesan kepada penambahan isi rumah yang berlipat kali ganda dari jumlah sekitar 6.3 juta yang ada sekarang. – BERNAMA

The Saga Begins

What do you think this bunch of people doing amidst this housing area?
With their backpacks some more?


Descending the hill..
Everyone looks very happy
In another word, RELIEF !

Haih. Where to start eh?
I need to write review for this activity, but still blank.

Luckily I'm not a writer or reporter
Else, definitely I'll always miss my dateline (read : deadline)

Happily ever after

Weddings are all around the corner this few months. Tried my best to commit/attend the weddings. Few weddings had to be missed most probably since the weddings are not within reach / far from KL Selangor/ I had family matters to attend.

Sorry dear friends.

All d best and happily ever after yo!

Talking about marriage, a lil while, a friend who'll b getting married soon shared about her preparation:

She: Lucky, both of us (fiancée) come from the same states. Too many things need to be settle on time, and the offices are only open during weekdays.

She: Can u suggest another hantaran (gift) since I have another empty tray for the gift?

Me: Gadget?

She:Mahal

Me: Books?

She: He doesn't read books.

Me: BORING!. Ok, what I,f instead of gifts, just exchanged some money. u can invest the money elsewhere.

She: Sigh. If it's that easy. I don't think our parents will buy in with that idea. What'll other think if there's no hantaran during our wedding?

Me : Ok2. No more suggestion.

Hmm. weddings are meant to please everyone right?

Sabar-ina

Lately I'm becoming more sarcastic and fierce

Especially to my team mates

Huu


 

I was asking myself yesterday, what make me become like this?

hot weather?

Hurm, most likely due to too many work-related things that I need to concentrate

Due to the current workload, I think I'm losing my technical touch

Right now, the analyses done are not detail enough

I'm starting to neglect the trainee engineer

Procrastination is becoming worse

And some of the high priority one becoming less and less priority

Tsk.

Again, there are people who kept asking for updates

While all the info are provided inside the daily reports mailed to them

"Mails are meant to be read" as per my commu. status

I snapped easily when people keep asking for updates/ info that actually is already in front of their nose

C'mon, u don't need to be spoon feed all the time right?

Sketch-ies

Satu skill yang masih belum cukup tajam ialah melukis

Yes, I'm bad at drawing

Masa kecik-kecik pernah menang pertandingan mewarna je

Melukis, haih

Pokok kelapa je cantik

And this is where the problem start

In my annual assessment, I need to draw at least the completion diagram

Some of the assessor can 'get the idea' of what I'm trying to explain/draw

But, the worst, "what's with this drawing"

Sheesh.

Ok. Point tulis ni sebab tadi dapat call kena update encik boss pasal sesuatu di offshore. Dan benda tu memerlukan skill melukis. So mari melukis.

You

I think I'm strong but I'm wrong

Scanned thru ur photos just now

And I can't help to cry

I know that u r already in a very good place

Very very good.

License to kill?

Xtau name sedih sgt bile baca berita pasal ustaz pukul murid dia sampai mati

Mungkin sebab teringat kat arwah Anas

Budak-budak kan helpless

Nape la ustaz tu letak otak kat lutut ye

Anak orang kot

Kalau anak haiwan pun xtergamak nak buat macam tu

Terlajak perahu boleh diundur, terlajak laku..kaku

I think

  • I think it's not right when somebody feels that he/she is very Islamic and keep mentioning his/her family is practicing some Islamic way
  • Somehow, I always feel he/she is trying to show off
  • Sometimes, there are things that better left unsaid
  • People know how to evaluate/judge


     


     

  • I think it's not right when somebody keep mentioning that he/she is very simple
  • Whereas I know, he/she is not that simple all the way
  • Sometimes, trying to be simple may potray you as another thing
  • People know how to evaluate/judge


     


     

  • Most of the time, you have to stand by your own side
  • Be firm and insyaAllah, you will get what you want

Scholarships : JPA / MARA / PETRONAS

Read this if u r SPM 2010 candidates and u r looking for scholarship. My company did Education Sponsorship Open Day today. Below are some of the questions that I managed to ask the scholarship personnel on behalf of my sister.

For JPA/MARA


- If we have applied for JPA, do we still need to apply for MARA ?
No, u can only apply either one.

- Currently, what are among the critical subjects and why are they considered critical ?
Medic, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Veterinary

- So, what's the career opportunities for those taking Economics studies ? And actually, in what area does the government mostly need new recruitment ?
For JPA, u need to register with esila immediately after u grad.  H/ever, if government fail to offer u any job within 12months, u r free to go to other places. Mostly, JPA will absorb u under Pegawai Tadbir Daerah (PTD). 

- Upon graduation, we are bonded with JPA/MARA for how many years and what if there aren't any job vacancies ?
for MARA, u r not bonded, cos MARA = convertible loan.  U have to pay once u finish ur studies, but u r free to work anywhere u want.

JPA = scholarship.  Thus, u r bonded.  Once graduated, u have to immediately register with government.  For medic, u'll b bonded for 10 years, other science stream 7 years; econs account finance = 5 years.

Additional :

  • No. of scholarships (JPA) and convertible loan (MARA) offered  = 12,000 (1,800 oversea + balance, local uni)
  • JPA & MARA will only offer 1,800 scholarships each for oversea programs.  This number is including students graduating from Matric.
  • JPA offers limited number of oversea scholarships to countries like US, UK, Ireland since most of their scholars breach the contract / not coming back to Msia / work oversea.  But, they still send Law students to UK.
  • JPA&MARA only sponsor for degree, meaning if u want to pursue ur professional certs (ACCA&CIMA) u have to do at ur own cost.  For JPA, u have to work with government, at least 3 years, then only u can further ur studies.
  • JPA scholars are for all Malay, Chinese, Indian + Bumiputera
  • MARA convertible loan is only for Malay + Bumiputera
  • The interviews will b conducted circa 14 April.  Format : group interview, current news, some knowledge on course that u plan to pursue


For PETRONAS

- Can we apply for both local and oversea programme ?
yes, can.  For local program, u have to fill in UTP form at UTP web

- Where can we get the list of oversea universities that PETRONAS usually sends its scholar to ?
no, this'll not be reveal. H/ever students obtaining scholarship will have to undergone preparation program at local college (Taylor's, KYUEM, etc)

- In your opinion, among Accounting, Financing and Economics which has the highest posiblity to be granted a scholarship ? In other word, in 5 years time, what does PETRONAS needs most ?
Chances are all the same.  Accounting with professional certs will be more marketable.

- If PETRONAS can't provide their scholars with any job opportunities, for how long do we need to wait until we'll be notified that there aren't any job vacancies for us ? And are we allowed to find job at any other places while waiting ?
6 months. Once the 6 months over, u r no more bonded, but u still have to pay 20% from the scholarship/depend on ur degree class.  Yes, u can apply to other companies as well, but Petronas will be ur priority. (this is the new requirement, mind u)

- Let's say there aren't any job for us, will PETRONAS release their scholars and do they need to pay back. PETRONAS will release, but u still have to pay based on ur degree class. 20% will be the highest amount u need to pay.

- For those in Financing area, what do they usually do ? (and same goes to those in Economics area) : refer to brochure, next email

- Let's say we want to take professional qualification like ACCA or CIMA, will PETRONAS sponsor us or PETRONAS will advise us to work with them for 2,3 years first ?
You have to work with Petronas first and subject to management approval to further study.

- I'm the child of PETRONAS employee, what's the percentage of me getting the scholarship (and actually how does PETRONAS select their future scholars e.g: base on salary or academic qualification or co-curricular achievement ?) : same, ther'll be no priority. U only have to meet criteria listed by PETRONAS and have outstanding co-curricular activities.

 Additional:

  • 1 week from closing date/14 april, I cant remember, PETRONAS will inform either u succeed / not in the application.
  • If u r successful, u have to attend induction/IQ test at UTP 17/4-18/4 or 21/4-24/4

Am I inspiring.

Never in my dream that I imagine myself giving talk to public

Especially in order for them to aspire to become someone likes me

But that was what I did this afternoon

I was actually giving a career talk to Sabahan students, i.e. the high schools and the college students

And to add further, I actually met my former school mate, Fizan

Same as me, he needs to aspire people to become a Geologist like him.

Ciao.

Flight to KL has been delayed for almost 3 hours now K

Habit


One bad thing I wish to change is 'the too much thinking habit'.
I think a lot when I go shopping
And end up not buying things that I should buy
I think a lot when I wish to own new things
And end up not buying it at all


My wishlist still remain the same for the last 2 years:
Buy new watch
Buy new working cloth
Buy new shoes
Buy new lense
Buy wii
