Busy woman, NO?

Hello... how should I say this? Hello RIT folks, ex-RIT friends, ex to the ex of everything and lastly, hello readers.


Oh my, do you know how long did I take to find myself a time to write these down? A week, literally. I've been meaning to share my stories with fellow friends but I have works to be done. As you may or may not know, I am now working as a part time RA, under Dr. Hamzah and wife in UKM. I can't say that I like this job but I don't dislike it either.

People, you should know what you're getting into.

At first, I accepted this job coz I felt like such a loser, graduating and not working, relying on my parents all the time (and still do. tch!) and be a full-time bibik. I love doing house chores but at the same time, I wanna go out and experience the working life.

Few weeks before I flew back to Malaysia, I heard a good news that Dila got the job as a volunteer at Petrosains. "Cool," I thought. And then I tried browsing for vacancies in other science-related company. Few minutes after, I gave up. I didn't even know how to write a personal statement! What a shame.

My ex-jiran, who happens to be a lecturer in UKM, offered me to be a tutor coz he said there was an opening for microbiology fermentation bla3 faculty. And so I applied. But then! He said it takes 3 to 4 months to process (WTH?). Oh Melayu! And frankly, it suck! Not having a job.

Then there was an offer from my dad's friend, again, to be a tutor in UPM. Dang it. Another application that will take forever to process. So I decided to wait and not to apply for any kind of jobs. NONE. And there came Zyha, asking me to help her jiran out and be their RA. I accepted. Back then, I didn't know what I was getting into. I innocently accepted the job and started working on Monday the 16th.

I have only one thing to do - translating and editting journals to be submitted. It is not an easy task, I tell you. Sorry, that is two things. Anyways, try translating 'lestari', or 'mitra', or 'terkesan', or 'berdayahuni', or even 'berpenglibatan'!!! God! Google translate doesn't help either.

And here I am, sucking trying my best not to whine and finish the task given. Oh this is the feeling of a busy woman. I miss studying. I can make mistakes, but now, it's not the time to make any. It's time to learn to be independent aicehhh!! Menyampah.

Oh. Selamat berpuasa rakan2.

p/s sorry girls if I haven't ym-ed to update*dodge bricks*. Not that I don't want to. You guys pun kne tinggal, let alone Arashi *sobbing*. Kin.
