Practicum Visit

It's about 3 years after reporting duty from my Ph.D. study leave. I am surprised to know that I have been selected as one of the visiting supervisors for practicum students. I don't bother much whether the management select me or not. But, to be selected is a good thing though. Not only I able to visit the students and also can use this opportunity for future research connections with various organizations. More importantly, I hope the students are learning something....valuable.....during this practicum.

Kajang.......

I've to teach another MBA class this month and it's in Kajang. I think it's quite a long ago since my last visit to Kajang and the traffic congestion is improving. Not bad as my last visit. Many new highways help to ease the traffic congestion. I've stayed in a budget hotel (RM80.00 nett per night) but it's really good. The room was spacious, clean, and tidy. Even, wi-fi service is available at no cost. Just try the New City Hotel if you're visiting Kajang........

Futsal.....

I play futsal every Monday nite 9pm-10pm. It becomes my routine and my friends from UUM and some from Jitra also join. Sometimes, our team plays against teams from Jitra for friendly matches. So far, in 2011, we've played 3 friendly games with various teams. Even last nite, my team played another friendly match against a team from Onkyo Jitra. The team invited one of the former national centre halves, Kamal Idris Ali. Yes, he can play very good football but in futsal, it's different story.....His team consists of some good players as well. My team, of course, majority is UUM lecturers and businessmen.......

I don't bother much....whether he is a former national team player or what......the most important thing is I just want to play and score goals.....

Next week is going to be very busy week for my team because we have two invitations for friendly matches......

1. Monday-we have a game against an Ex-SMJ team

2. Wednesday-Kamal Idris Ali's team.....asks my team for a re-match...........

a gift.....

I've taught an MBA class in Melaka recently. The final examination results also already forwarded to the university senate for endorsement. Some students were excellent....some not.....but overall they performed well. The class gave me a gift....perhaps my birthday gift.....
I didn't open the gift until I've transmitted the final examination results though.....
Thank you very much....and look forward to meet them again in future.....

Amazing game...

Football is an amazing game......I watch BPL games every week. My favorite team of course, Manchester United. My wife and sons also support Manchester United. Interesting match against Chelsea on Wednesday morning (3.40am) certainly can be the title decider.......Hope Manchester United will win....

TPM visits........

Tomorrow, TPM Tan Sri Muhyidin Yassin will come to UUM. All staff are instructed to be in DMS at 3.30pm and for me....I look forward to be there. But, I guess some won't be there.....however it's up to the individuals.....whether they want to join the function or not.
A friend, but not so closed to me....highlighted something about a political party activity in Alor Setar recently. He of course one of the die-hard supporter stresses that TPM visits to UUM tomorrow is nothing compared to the event conducted by his political party......"so many people attended"....he said. I just smile..........whatever he wants to claim....I don't bother......life goes on

38....

A lovely dinner in Kuala Perlis with family on 18/2/2011........and it's really ejoyable. For me.....38 is just a number......but full of funs, pleasures, challenges, etc....

Many things happened.....and made me more sensible to my family....life....and nature.

I have a wonderful mother.....who stays with me now.....a precious wife....who makes my life happier.....amazing sons.......who spend glorious moments together........and of course....my maid...who looks after my mother, my youngest son.....and takes care of chores......

I am really happy.....
