Hai all,
Today hari yang indah ... Sesungguhnya rezeki seseorang sememangnya Allah yang tentukan ... Ada ketika, rezeki datang tak semena-mena ...bergolek-golek ...tanpa diduga. Ada pula walau penat berusaha pelbagai cara, masih tak mampu menjana rezeki ...
Ada orang berdoa untuk menjadik kaya-raya ... target menjadi JUTAWAN RM sebelum umur 40. Ada yang lebih ambitious, berusaha bagai nak mati untuk target sebelum umur 30! Ada pula yang berdengki-dengki sesama rakan-rakan sekerja, atau pesaing-pesaing peniaga hanya kerana ingin naik ke posisi jawatan teratas atau berebut-rebut projek hanya kerana DUIT ...
For me, I will never pray untuk jadik kaya-raya MELAMPAU ... tapi berdoa agar dimurahkan olehNya rezeki-rezeki yang HALAL; rezeki-rezeki yang mampu membuat aku berSYUKUR akan nikmatNya ...dikurniakan segala yang terbaik buat diriku dan keluargaku dunia dan akhirat. Kurniakanlah aku kekayaan, SEKIRANYA kekayaan itu menaikkan ISLAM di mata dunia dan mampu menolong umat-umat Islam yang lain ... SEKIRANYA kekayaan itu menjadikan aku dan keluargaku orang yang derhaka, kuffur, bongkak dan tidak mensyukuri akan nikmatMu , maka jauhkan kami dari kekayaan tersebut ... sesungguhya engkau lebih mengetahui ... kerana sesungguhnya ENGKAU-lah pemberi rezeki yang hakiki!

UPSR-PMR-SPM-DIPLOMA-DEGREE-MASTER-PHD .... it is just another exam!
It's that time again!
Is it true that if your child got straight A's in their UPSR 5A, PMR 9A, SPM 17A ... does it really promise success in their future life? Scenario menilai results peperiksaan besar semakin menjadi-jadi di Malaysia kini, secara tak langsung meletakkan harapan, kerisauan dan BEBANAN yang amat tinggi kepada anak-anak zaman kini.
For me, we as parents surely want our children to succeed in their life. But we must realize, that these are their life and not ours. Do not mold their successes based on our dreams (or past nightmares!), let them succeed based on their dreams, goals, ability, creativity and gifts by Allah!
Lead them to the correct path based on our experiences, and not force them! Teach them how to think and how to make the choices ! Do not despair if they make the wrong choices, because it's not a failure ... but a process of learning ... learn not to make the wrong decision again! Not to fall at the same hole twice! Be supportive!
Chill out parents! If your child do not get straight A's. Do not be sad, but praise to Allah for what He has given to us. Allah knows best! Be proud parents, regardless of what they achieve in their examinations.
Remember, this is just another exam ! It is not the end of the world if your child do not get any A's. The road to success is still far ahead! Learn from the past mistakes, look up and aim high!
For me as a parent, I will only emphasize on getting A's (80% and above) ... regardless of what number they will gain in their classes. If they can score top 10 in their classes, then it's a bonus for them. If not, so what ... they are all winners in their own way! I'm proud of each and one of them ... what ever results they gain! Now and forever! Just try ur best, berdoa dan bertawakkal! Allah knows best for u!

PhD ...my journey (sem 5)
Salam all,
Wow! Lama juga tidak menjengah my NHAR Kopitiam ...just being reminded by one of my xstudent. Created this blog in 2009 when i started my phd and now .... here i am in my 5th sem!
Perjalanan menjelajah phd semakin hampir ke titik akhir ...dlm sedar atau tidak. Selarikah pencapaian phd sehingga kini ? Atau lalaikah diri ini dengan hal2 duniawi yang lain sehingga mengabaikan 'amanah' tambahan ini?
Kecintaan melalui susur-susur phd kali ini ternyata amat berbeza berbanding pengalaman meredahnya 16 tahun yang lalu ... Dulu, mendengar sahaja 'supervisor' sudah boleh membuat jantung hampir terhenti dan otak mula memikirkan cara menjauhinya ...bukan kerna kegarangan beliau. Beliau seorang Dr. yang amat2 baik , tetapi ketakutan yang hadir adalah kerna kejahilan diri sendiri dalam bidang yg dipilih di saat itu ... astronomy! Perasaan takut dan malu untuk berdepan tanpa ada sebarang kemajuan dlm penyelidikan .... stress sehingga ke tahap max! Pemilihan bidang memang ternyata crucial ...minat sahaja tidak mencukupi!
Berbeda dengan phd kali ini, perasaan lebih tenang dan yakin ... dan yang lebih penting, happy, alhamdulillah. I set to myself a special motto: "Kalau stress, i will destress myself dengan bercuti2 ... Kalau happy pun, i will treat myself dengan meronda jugak!" .... and somehow it really works for me! I really enjoy the whole journey of my phd ...so far '-)
First rule, i set to myself special spaces to fulfill my family needs + phd needs + my hobby needs + my neighborhood needs. I organized everything on my 'table calender' accordingly ,
1st - block all birthdays, anniversaries and school holidays.
2nd- block all conferences'-seminars' dates (in or out Malaysia)
3rd- block all dates related to my appointments with my supervisors (go to Shah Alam etc).
4th- block all dates related to my hubby's outstations + conferences + seminars dates
5th- highlight any meetings or activities related to my kids or their schools.
6th- highlight all importing weddings' or kenduri or alumni dates.
7th- highlight the possible dates for me and my family for our annual vacations!
Sehingga kini, kaedah ini memudahkan saya, suami dan keluarga mengatur perjalanan harian dengan lebih selesa dan gembira. My 'Table Calender' akan dijadikan rujukan utama kami sebelum masing-masing merancang sesuatu . I really feel so blessed by Allah for having an understanding husband that understand the importance of so called 'doctorate' dalam bidang yang kami sama-sama ceburi.
Terasa amat2 bersyukur juga kerana pemilihan supervisor utama yg awalnya 'digeruni' rupanya satu pemillihan yang tepat dan sesuai '-) Perjumpaan bersemuka dan perbincangan secara online yang kerap selama lebih 5 semester kini mula membuahkan hasil. InsyaAllah, 2 journals have accepted my papers. Been to 7 conferences, in and out of Malaysia. Looking forward to go for another conference abroad, hopefully Turkey (2012), insyaAllah. Beliau kini lebih sebagai teman, rakan sekerja, penasihat, motivator, kakak and my back bone dalam mencapai cita2 bergelar seorang 'Dr' ... semoga Allah memberkati beliau dan diri ini ...semoga akan bertambah cerdik pandai muslim di bidang Mathematics terutama Numerical Analysis.
Now, my main concern is to start writing my thesis seriously and in a more structured way. So far, semuanya dalam keadaan caca-merba ... bits here and there... cut n paste ... but clustered by Chapters & Appendices.
Kini hanya mampu berdoa, berusaha dan bertawakkal ...
Ya Allah, Kau kurniakanlah kepada ku ..hambaMu yang kerdil lagi hina ini ... ilham-ilham dan tenaga.
Ya Allah, Kau kurniakanlah ketenangan dan kejayaan ... tanpa wujud perasaan riak dan takabbur walau sebutir di hati ini ... kerana segalanya ada hakMu.
Ya Allah, Kau kurniakan diriku dan keluarga istiqamahh pada agamaMu dan kau tetapkan hati-hati kami kepada kebenaran dan kebaikan...kerana engkaulah "Ya MuQallibalQullub" ...
Ya Allah, sesungguhnya segala yang ku sangka baik, tidak semestinya baik untuk diriku ...
Kepada-Mu aku berserah , jua kepada Mu jua aku meminta ...
Amiiin ....Amiiin ...Ya Rabbal 'Aalamiiin.
*Aku rindu menjadi tetamu di rumah-Mu ...

Apa itu 'doormenship' salam e-biz or on9-biz?
18may2011
Ini adalah huraian saya tentang seorang rakan pembeli yang bertanya penjualan sebagai reseller secara 'doormenships' :
"Salam Ika,
ade yg panggil 'on9-biz', or 'e-biz' = online business.
actually ramai pengusaha/ peniaga kini mengoffer menjadi agent or reseller secara 'doormenship' concept . Maksudnya, reseller x perlu simpan stok semua or keluar modal yg banyak ... selalunya untuk start menjadi reseller kita kena menjual bilangan tertentu untuk mendapatkan 'harga borong'.
Then, kita promote barang dia orang melalui blog or facebook atau cara lain pun x pe .... kebiasaaannya mereka membenarkan kita menggunakan photo2x produk mereka. Kita hanya perlu 'mengayakan' dlm facebook mengikut cara yg terbaik unutk memikat pembeli .......,
If ada yg berminat dgn produk yg diiklankan, kita confirm dgn pengusaha samada stok ada ke tidak ..confirm ada, then baru minta pembeli byr secara tunai or online transfer or ATM ke dalam akaun kita mengikut harga retail (harga jualan kita). Once pembeli dah bayar, kita akan bayar secara online kepada pengusaha dengan harga borong + berikan details pembeli dan mereka yg akan menguruskan penghantaran secara ekspress/poslaju/parcel to pembeli.
So, beza harga jualan dengan harga borong adalah keuntungan kita. Reseller kena rajin update blog or facebook mereka unutk memudahkan pembeli membeli. PEmberian discount or gift tambahan terpulang pada kita to pembeli sekira nya kita raser ianya adalah promosi yg elok.
Saya buat ni sebagai hobby sejak 2009 lagi dan sesuai dgn career saya sebagai pensyarah ... tiada komitment yg berat sebab kita lakukan tanpa perlu ada modal yg banyak, timbunan stok2x , atau ulang-alik ke pos office. Cara ini adalah gabungan yg baik antara pengusaha dan reseller.
Try survey2x blog atau facebook mereka ... selalunya penjualan pakaian, blouse or tudung 2x ada mengoffer kaedah reseller doormenship ini.
Selamat mencuba!
Selamat ber e-biz!"

MU vs. M'sia punya hal
Salam to all again,
This week ... only Allah knows how hectic life is this weekends. I went to S.Alam alone by bus on Friday night .. yeap,for my phd classes. The next morning, luckily my sis sent me to uitmsa by car, else got to take a cab. I finished my classes around 12noon, take a local bus supposed to be to Pasar Seni. Since this is my first time after ages not taking bus from SA to KL ... I got out of the bus at the wrong place and got to take a cab to Puduraya ... where I waited for my hubby and 4 kids to arrive from Butterworth by bus. My eldest did not come along bcoz of his 'boot-camp' at Ulu Paip.
We walked to the Maytower Hotel ... near Jakel /Ariani shoplots ...not to far away from Sogo. Here we are given a room at the 28th level! Nice views ... small room but very nicely decorated ... urban design I would say
Around 4pm my hubby and 3 kids when to the Bukit Jalil stadium for the awaited football league! MU vs. M'sia .... 3-2!
Me and my youngest kid (18 mths) stay at the hotel ... well, not really. Izz (my youngest) was not feeling very comfortable due to the tiny ulcers on his tongue well. Shouting at about everything ... feeling sorry for him. So we went for window shopping hoping that will ease his pain a bit... and not being so 'bad mood' all the time. We then stop at Jakels and met my ex-primary schoolmate, one of the daughters of Jakel. Lucky for her for the wealth given to him by Allah ...
All my 4-footballers got backed around 9pm, so I decided to go back to Shah Alam tonight bcoz I got another class tommorrow. Not knowing which where to go, I called my sis and she directed me to the Bank Negara Commuter Station ... a weird and frightening short journey, I would say!
Alhamdulillah I reach Subang Jaya Station and waited for my sis to fetch me. Got my 'nasi bungkus' for dinner and dipped in !
The next day, i went to my class with Surya ... my other phd friend...g0 to PTAR4 library but unluckily most of the books needed were not there but at PTAR INTEC at sec17...try to xerox some of the pages, the machine was down ... so got to bring all the 4-thick books home to Penang by bus. Unbelievable my first 3 hours of the journey were filled with reading activites ...
I reached Seberang Jaya round 8pm (4pm from SA)... reached home, brought all the kids to KFC for dinner. Izz still not feeling very well ... I guess he was starving due to the ulcer....he just wouldn't try to drink and eat anything ... keep screaming at everybody who was trying to tease him. I decided to give him air Yassin-zam-zam ...pray to Allah hope that He easy away the pain.
Alhamdulillah this morning, Izz seems to be in much better condition ... drinking 2 bottles of milk and not crying as much as last night. Hope the ulcers will fade away ...insyaAllah.

Classes oooo classes ...
Last Thursday (july 2) we took the 4.30pm Xpress bus from Penang and finally reached Shah Alam at about 7.30 pm. Took a cab to my sister's house in Sec.13 and overnight there.
I learnt lots of new things ... classes, supervisors, in-campus buses, taxi, library, postgrad.labs, foodcourts ... and not to forget, shoppiiiiinggg!
Tommorrow ... 11.30pm bus to Shah Alam! again ...
..and the circles will continue for the rest of my 3-year phd !
Thankfully & alhamdullillah, I got a very understanding and cooperative husband ... he got his phd back in 1998... I guess this is my turn to reach 'the star' .... thank u!

Hold on to your dreams ... 26thJune09
Did you know
that every star that shines
in the midnight sky
is waiting there for you
as each day goes passing by?
For, they are yours for the taking-
all you need is self belief ...
... and the ability to see that setbacks
have solutions just beneath.
So, never let your dreams pass by
for, they are there for you to see
that, if you focus on your goals,
you'll be all you're meant to be.
So, nurture them with all your heart-
leave all your doubts behind
and you simply won't believe
the success you then will find!

PhD without tears ? -25/6/09
Last Saturday, I finally registered myself as a PhD students in one of the local university... full-time. Luckily i was given a staff scholarship for it ... so lucky me, Alhamdulillah & thanks to our generous & caring government. I guess i would never have gotten my degree & master ... and all the lovely experiences in USA and UK if not from those financial supports.
So here i am , a full-time mother (with 5 sons) + full-time wife (yeah, only 1 husband)+ full-time postgraduate student +... or should i say 1/4+1/4+1/4+1/4 = 1?
Well ... nay ... as a mathematician I would say 1/4+1/4+1/4+1/4 IS NOT EQUAL TO 1;
1+1 in my case is equal to 7 ... if u got what i meant. .. ;-}]
With the permission from 'the top' , I started my 1st week as a student in my 'old' office ... wondering where to start and what to do next. Adapting myself to this new role is not as easy as i thought it would be ... So, I decided to make a long checklist of what need to be done and what need to be thrown out.
My first move was to find a new office partner ... checked. I successfully persuade one of my colleagues to move in to my office... so today I handed her the extra keys ... she is a sweet lovely lady, whom actually is my neighbor. I rearranged everything ... all my files and books and started inserting extra table (an old lab table) in the office... sadly, i started to feel like this new 'role' is putting me as 'a 2nd class citizen' in my own place ... :-[
Well, I guess there's no turning back ... I got to make the best of the opportunity, and try very hard to reach for the star ... is there really a PhD without tears?
