Dealing with the contracts
One scope of my job now is o monitor the contracts in the schools such as the cleaning services, safety services and food services. The contracts involve all the schools in Perlis and monitoring the service from the perspective of JPN is different from the view of a school.
When I was a teacher before, I found that these matters were not really my concern and my focus were mainly on the teaching and learning. Now, I have started to learn deeper and betterr how things work in school and the dep...

no expectation
When I first started to learn about the job scope of a PTD, I already put some boundaries to some of the scope for example managing procument, infrastructure or finance. I wanted to avoid doing the work in these areas as I learnt about the complication and busyness of the nature of the work during my study time at INTAN. For the first posting of course you hope to learn slowly and getting ample time to grow.
However, as per usual, things get out of control. You have no power to determine and c...

back to the blogging business
I guess it is the right time for me to get back to blogging again.
I am now working in the Perlis Education Department - specifically handling the procument and assets for schools in Perlis.
Never I have imagined that I would be posted here, nearby my family, to start working in a small state like Perlis.
I have found it challenging as a new officer to be in charge of a busy and demanding unit and role but what is a challenge if we are not up to it right? Like it or not, going through the journe...

Me complaining again...haha...
I guess I will be busy for a while. At least in my mind. Keep thinking about this and that, particularly about the events that I am going to administer. There are two events: a forum and a theater.
This week and last week, we are taking the module on Research Methodology. I am enjoying the module as there is no final examination. However, the detail of the assignments in this module is quite challenging.
Writing a research proposal in a short period of time is challenging. To come out with an i...

Tomorrow I Must Embrace
It flies away
It goes anyway
The smile that fadedThe laugh that ended
The tears that driedThe cry that silenceThe cycle that repeats on its own
Sometimes you hope that it moves fasterSometimes you hope that it stays foreverSometimes you hope that it will never goneSometimes you hope that you can stop it
Never mind what they sayNever mind what they beNever mind what they think
Time never waitsTime goneTime brings memories
TIME - Tomorrow I Must Embrace

The weekend I have been waiting for
This is a weekend update. The weekend that I have been waiting for... The weekend that I can just lay down and be lazy...haha... There are some assignments that I need to do and worry about but let them just be there somewhere in my mind for a while.
I am in the middle of the new module now - Government Administration and Public Policy Management. This module, I think is fact based and formal. I find it is a bit hard to absorb the facts and remember everything.Plus, the assignment that we need...

OBS: A meaningful experience

It was an amazing experience! That is what I can say about my Outward Bound School experience. It was already about 2 weeks I arrived from Lumut now. It took me quite a while before I can finish this writing. We were in Lumut for 7 days and 6 nights and we did a lot of activities in group that required individuals to work together to achieve the same goal. I will describe the activities that we did there but not necessarily according to the sequence.
There are 64 of us from Group 6 and we were...

The week of Public Finance is here!
I have been trying to finish my writing on my OBS experience but it seems like it is a slow process. I want to finish writing it but there were too many things to write and I feel like I will miss some important part that I learnt and experienced. So, I decided to write this entry first.
This week we has been introduced to a new subject - Public Finance Management. The subject is described as one of the tough subject in this programme; and again it makes me nervous. It has been 3 days now that...

on the bus to Lumut
I'm on the bus heading to Lumut now. It's time for Outward Bound School (OBS) - one of the most challenging activity that we need to finish in this course. We will be in Lumut for 7 days without phone and internet connection. So, I'm writing this to make sure that this blog is updated beforehand.
Yesterday, I had a good fun with my friends. Even though I have been forced by them to go out for an early breakfast - which I want to skip because I want to rilex and sleep and enjoy my weekend, they...
