Alhamdulillah

good things come to those who wait?
yes.. and i couldn't thank Allah enough for that
thank you Allah, thank you very much for all the rezeki.. 

1. my project presentation did not go that well the other day. i was already at skudai when i realized that my project is just a piece of crap but it was too late. i got to do what i got to do i.e. to convince the assessors that my project is actually up to par with the master level. well, let's just say that i was not that confident? i did answer all the questions asked but i swear i was not convinced at all. the total marks for the presentation was 30. 18 was my target. 


my lecturer called yesterday evening. "idya, you got 24/30 for your presentation".. :))))))

2. the project report must be submitted before april 9. i got a test on april 4. it was the worst test ever because nothing seemed to stay in my memory despite huge effort being put to study and memorize. i swear i read at least 4 times but seriously i couldn't remember a thing. ok, tipu, i couldn't remember 90% of what i had read. panic attack. because i got 24/50 for the first test. ahhh, i hate the subject because it has got nothing to do with my major. i hate anything electronics for that matter. so, i went for the test with a 3/4 empty mind and shame on me... i cheated.. yes, i flipped through my notes with a huge guilt. :( but it only contributed 2 marks. 


the result was out yesterday. i got 32/40. ok, minus the 2 marks for cheating so the truth is i got 30/40 for not studying. i considered that as an achievement. but no, i won't repeat that again. both the cheating part and the not-prepared part. must study real hard for the final paper. must get A.

3. i was am under a lot of pressure at the office. my facebook status can tell that. last week, i was involved in a major fight with the syaitan-dari-neraka m!ddl3 345+3rn boss.. he screamed at me and i screamed back at him in front of 20 other staffs? and if that doesn't sound bad, i slammed his door as hard as i can. yes, but i tell you that did not compensate for all the stress i have to endure working under him for the past 3 months. seriously, it was like working in hell and with that resignation letter i submitted last saturday, that makes me the 4th person to tender because of him. he is just impossible to work with and i can write one hell of a book to tell how bad a boss he is. so, i tendered with a 3-months notice without any back up plan. am i stupid? yes, but i will be the stupid-est person ever exists if i stay.

i received an email a few hours ago.. "Sukacita dimaklumkan bahawa tuan/puan dengan ini akan ditawarkan untuk berkhidmat dengan TNB sebagai Eksekutif Pelatih (PEP 35) berkuatkuasa...."

so all in all, i just would like to say that, yes.. good things come to those who wait.. Alhamdulillah.. Alhamdulillah.. Alhamdulillah.. :))))).. thank you Allah

boss from hell

" I have an intimidating boss who loves to push our team around. He has two of my colleagues do his work for him while he sits in his cubicle watching the golf channel and surfing eBay for Nike golf apparel. He’s obsessed with golf. In times of server crashes he runs around the office blaming everyone for not caring instead of coordinating our efforts and leading the way. Then he expects us to fix the problem overnight without compensation while he leaves work at 4PM. He heard the term “Self Managed Teams” and said perfect and advised us to become one just like that. Yet if I come 5 min late in the morning he lectures me on being punctual just before he leaves for half an hour to get breakfast, on top of his 1 hour lunch break where he goes home to watch OC and a half an hour afternoon coffee break. He refers to himself as an Engineer but really he’s a college technician. He truly believes he can be the Vice President of Information Technology of a $65 Billion company yet when I suggest implementing an IEEE standard for our team he responds by asking “what’s that?” He’s all talk but no action.."

well, i am relieved to know that there is someone somewhere on the other side of the world who share the same experience as mine.. who go thru the same shit like me.. and that somehow ease the burden.. huhu
