My Last Week Working as a PA.......

Yes this is my last week working as a PA to a high post person for our government in Australia. It was a very interesting journey for me I must say. I worked a little bit more then 3 months but the experienced I got out of it was very different from the other organisations I used to work with. The ups and downs, the 'interesting' people I met along the way and so many things will make me a better person hopefully. I learnt so much especially how 'old school' people in the government run things. My late husband if he is still around would be around these 'old school' people age but the way he handled things were so different from them. Oh well....I guess that was one of the reasons why he left the government agency and work on his own until his passing.

What ever it is I have no regret what so ever as the experience I gained here will enriched my knowledge about people and others. During my 3 months plus working here I met someone that might have significant impact in my life. But it is too early to say anything yet. However, if Allah answer my prayers something significant will happen in early 2012. Also, just before Christmas break I got my PhD thesis result saying that I passed with minor corrections. Though I have yet to get the official result but UPM and a few people started to call me Dr already. It gives me goose bump as I think the title is too glamour for me and over here academicians do not use that title. Perhaps when I go back home to Malaysia I'll use it but only for official functions insyaallah. If not I prefer people to use my first name Siti. So that is another great news for me before 2011 ends. So far 2012 looks as if it's going to be super great for me and I pray Allah will make everything smooth from now onwards. After all life begins at 40 and in July 2012 I will be reaching that milestone insyallah. Till then.....happy new year and hope that 2012 will bring happiness and more success to all of us. Amin.

I'm in Sydney now (since 12 September 2011).....

Oh yes.....fate brought me to Sydney since 12 September 2011. I work as a Personal Assistant (casual post) for the Director/ Consul/Head of Post at Education Malaysia Australia (EMA)/Consulate of Malaysia Sydney. My bos is a lady bos ;-D and this is my second time working under lady boss....my only comment about her is that the way she handles things is different. Will write more about my experience working at EMA and Consulate of Malaysia Sydney perhaps next year. Till then....cheers.

Time to say goodbye Brisbane........almost but not quite yet.

Yes it is July 2011 and I had submitted my PhD thesis for my external examiners for more than 1 month now. After 3 years and 9 months in this crazy roller coster PhD journey I still couldn't believe that I actually reached this mile stone. Although, I have to wait for the result from the external examiners but at least I passed so many stages already. Right now I just need to pass 1 final stage before I can be called a Doctor. So many things have happen through out my PhD journey in Brisbane. I make so many new friends as well as 'enemies'. But those who became my 'enemies' are harmful and most of them 'mI still in talking term with them. It's just that now they are no longer in my good book that's all. Also, I will be extra careful to put my trust in them. However, what ever they did to me were nothing major really, and I don't blame them for their wrong doings, because I'm not a perfect person myself. Beside, I know what PhD can do to people especially when you are far away from your family, lacked of attention from your love ones, no one to talk to, and after all my life is too much FUN that made these people envy me to the max. Hahahahaha........I just pray that these people will find happiness in their life one day. And 1 day they can be my friends once again. PhD journey is only for those who has a STRONG resilience towards so many ups and downs. And maybe only half of them came out normal ;-D.

Looking back at those things of what my 'enemies' did to me.....I think JELOUSY has been playing a big role in it. Oh yes.....in my almost 39 years old of life I have came accross so many JELOUSY cases.....that feeling is the most EVIL feeling in all human being. I must admit I have that jelousy feeling too but I ignore it most of the times. I NEVER used it to back stab people or spread ill rumours or exegerate stories to others about anyone. My jelously is only for me to feel and to know. But different people have different ways of handling things....so all of my experiences with these 'special' people will make me a stronger person in life. Also, I learn more about people and how all of us are the SAME no matter where one come from, and even from different culture and believes. We are all the SAME, that's the FACT. There are always the nice and 'not nice' people around us. So we have to deal with it. As for me during my last few weeks in Brisbane I just want to enjoy myself and chill out with my favourite people. For those who are no longer in my good book well......too bad for you kids!!!
