Hari-hari terakhir sebagai pelajar UiTM...

The day of 1st January 2012 is also the last day for me and my friends as students of EMBA 14B. On that day, we have to sit for the final exam of International Business subject which is the last subject for us to complete this course. Alhamdulillah... InsyaAllah... Everybody will pass and score atleast B+... Here are some pics that I have taken on that day... After exam, all of us went out together for lunch at Seksyen 7, Shah Alam at Restoran Ayam Penyet... After this, we never know when we can have a lunch session together again... But I pray, Allah will get us together again... All of us... Somewhere for us to cherish our memories while studying in this university...

To all my brothers and sisters of EMBA 14B, I love you all... May the knowledge that we lave learnt through out 4 semesters beneficial for our career advancement, I pray for success of our future and please forgive me if I have done wrong... I am gonna miss you guys...

Viva Session - Applied Business Research 13 January 2012

Alhamdulillah... Thanks to Allah for His Merciful and Gracious... Finally, my group managed to go through the toughest challenge for us in order to complete our Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) studies which is presentation of our Applied Business Research (ABR) paper entitled "Factors Contributing to Employees' Motivation: Case Study on Jet Premier One (M) Sdn Bhd" which was held on 13th January 2012...

It was the biggest challenge for me because I am a group leader and seriously, me, Suhailah and Kak Amy went for presentation that day with no confidence at all that we can pass... because our group got two killer examiners to examine our research paper... Prof Dr Wan Ghazali, who is a senior lecturer and has the most experienced in research and Prof Dr Zaini Abdullah, Vice Cansellor UiTM... Pergh!!! VC is our examiner... I was so nervous that day to face these two sifu's... Dah lah 1st draft kena reject... Luckily got a time to do corrections...

Besides that, it was very unfortunate when my wife, my life partner and also my group member, Suhailah Ismail left her pendrive where we had saved our presentation slides last night at the office... Time already 9.40am... We don't have much time to go back to office from UiTM just to get back the pendrive... Allah is great... Finally I got an idea to contact my office mate Hana and ask her assistance to send the presentation slides through email... At 9.45am... I was able to download the slides using the desktop computer inside the viva room 304, Graduate Business School... Fuh!!! I was terrified... If not, maybe we have to go for TL... "Tidak Lengkap" which means we have to re-do our ABR in next semester... Ah!!! Enough is enough... I don't even want to look at this anymore... I had enough... I hope we can pass and that's it... DONE... Thanks again to Hana...

Exactly at 10am, presentation begins ... Before the presentation, I prepared some sweets and mineral water for the examiners to ensure they are in a good mood ... Apart from that, I opened the presentation with Al-Fatihah and made some jokes to create informal environment while giving our presentation... And... It's worked ... All of us presenting the paper with relax and the examiners were very supportive that day and they have not criticized much on what we have done... We just need to do small corrections... Alhamdulillah... At 11am, all of them agreed to give us pass and we may proceed with the preparation of the Hard Cover... Yes!!! Syukur Alhamdulillah...

Sambutan Kelahiranku Yang ke-29

Pergh!!! Lama jugak tak update blog nie... Tah ape yang sibuk sangat pun tak tahulah... Tapi aku rasa dah nak start aktif baliklah meng"update" blog untuk aku curahkan apa yang aku rasa dan apa yang bermain di dalam kepala aku nie... Baik aku mulakan dengan cerita sambutan ulangtahun yang ke-29 aku hari tue... Aku kan lahir bulan Disember 23, 1982... So, sambut pun dah nak ujung tahunlah... Dah lah tengah sibuk dengan EMBA aku, ditambah pulak nak kena siapkan thesis... Tup! Tup! Anak aku Arif doktor jangkakan kena demam kuku, kaki dan mulut... Apa lagi? Tarikh 23 Dis 2011 ari tue, terpaksalah aku dan isteri tidur di KPJ Kajang... Hari tu aku jer yang masuk pejabat sebab Suhailah dah kena jaga Arif... So, setelah selesai kerja kat ofis, aku siapkan thesis aku... So, aku balik lewat sikitlah... Dalam jam 7.30mlm baru aku berangkat ke hospital... Maklumlah nak kena tido di sana... Sesampai sahaja di hospital, terkejut aku bila tengok Mama, Abah, Mak, Ayah, adik-adik semua berkumpul di sana rupanya semata-mata nak celebrate birthday aku... Walaupun tengah takder mood sebab nak completekan thesis dan anak sakit, setidak-tidaknya, bila wife aku organize b'day celebration macam tu memang menceriakan aku... Arif pun kelihatan semakin pulih... Apapun, antara azam sempena hari lahir aku yang aku terfikir pada masa tu ialah tak lain dan tak bukan ialah nak kurus... Hingga ke saat ini ianya masih belum berhasil... InsyaAllah... Aku kena usaha lebih lagi... Buat semua ahli keluarga yang hadir malam tue... Terima kasih atas ingatan dan sokongan... Hanya Allah yang dapat membalasnya...
