the week has gone… and it had been a rather exhaustive but fun!! my first week of working 9 – 5, hmm, in this case, 8.30 – 6.oo pm. and the days in the office, had done calls after calls! and letters after letters!! and looking at the screen every other minute. yes, my best friend at work is the pc~, but mind you not for leisure… no friendster, no multiply except for some occassions when i got real sick of reading and reviewing of the task i had to complete, i would just have to surf some place else!!

and sitting most of the time, penat seh! so every two hours, i would like steal myself out of the office go out, look at the trees, at the road, unfortunately, the scene out of muis is not very interesting! turun naik lagik!! dari tingkat empat turun tingkat dua, dari tingkat empat turun tingkat satu, pegi stor cari buku2 yg berlambak kat situ! for a first week at work, i did a lot.
add that up to the meeting held at hdb hub, attended by some 160 representatives from various mosques in Singapore. that’s a real eye opener. met some friends who have become asatizahs. the meeting on friday, starts at 8.00 till 10.00 PM! so imagine, me from work 8.30 to 6.00 pm straightaway to the meeting, and of course we had to do some prior preparations. i couldn’t really sit down for the meeting for i had to run around. but despite the exhaustive work, taking a positive stance and it’s all a learning experience.

heh, i remembered this incident, i had to call one mosque, to ask for their reply ah, so after waiting for quite sometime for someone to pick up the phone, the answer came, and i so happily greeted the makcik on the phone and before i managed to start saying anything, the makcik so happily, and very loud, i tell you very loud voice telling me that there’s no one on the office, and that she was only the attendant sweeping the office~ her voice was too loud that i had to put the phone away from my ear and my colleagues in the office all began to laugh because apparently, they could hear the makcik as well!!! bayangkan betapa kuatnyer makcik kat telephone tu berbual!!!

my week did not end on friday, for the next morning, i had to teach at annahdhah till 10.30 am. but luckily nasir (ustaz 😉 ) did most of the teaching. right after class, i went to madrasah aljunied to lend support to assiium for there was peertalk held at the school. peertalk is like something for the students in various madrasahs to see what’s in store for them after their final year at school, and there were singapore students studying at institutions from the middle east and malaysia, came to exhibit and show to the adik-adik the alternatives for them. and i had the honour of giving a brief talk for iiu, very short, only 7 minutes. and fortunately, the new exco assiium had the initiative to create a powerpoint presentation on iiu, so i just had to explain a bit on it.

it so happened that there’s only 2 sisters who were going to represent for their institutions, and am one of them. the rest are brothers, and it doesn’t help that most of them were from aljunied, so for most, they looked comfortable with the place, while me being an al-maarifian (no al-maarif students, except for yg bebudak IMPIAN satu dua and from iiu itself), but i had confidence and comfort from the thought that most of the top persons of IMPIAN were assiiumers, somehow felt a little at home. i had to give the briefing in a rush, but alhamdulillah, the assiiumers were happy with the things i said on stage. and thank god i managed to control my nervousness. menggeletar la seh kat mike tu. my congrats to the assiium excos who handled the peertalk, very good effort by you guys. keep it up!

so the week has been a fulfilling one and am very glad of that!
so people, the days go on………
my love to my girls
