Born in March

-

 The first day in March started with celebrating the Birthday of my aunt who lives in the family heirloom next to my mother. Although not as lively as usual, but it was very precious to my aunt who is still grieving after the death of her husband. Just cut a cake and gift a bouquet of chocolates. To me, it's pretty blissful. Celebrating is not placed in the form of gifts or giveaways but more in memory.

Celebrating someone’s birthday, may seem insignificant to those who say it but very meaningful to those who celebrate it. I believe, among the things that make people happy, regardless of race or religion is when receiving Happy Birthday greetings. It is the nature of every human being to feel loved and happy when something about us is appreciated by those around us. That’s why, when opening a social media page, we are often told about someone’s date of birth on that day. The purpose of the information is for us to give a speech as a sign of prayer in conjunction with a meaningful day.

I forgot to say Happy Birthday to my own brother who was born in mid -February. It officially marks, my brother is now 42 years old. Still single despite having a stable career. The situation is becoming more common among the people in this country. As far as I can remember, we never did a brother's birthday party. Probably because of that, the brother himself forgot about the date of his birthday. Luckily, I’ve been celebrated even for just once. At least I have memories of my own birthdays. How is your birthday celebration?.

It's just that I was a little sad to know that one of the cousins, who was quite close, had to tell the other cousin that his birthday had arrived. While we didn’t make any celebrations, I understood that my cousin wanted to feel appreciated. So my aunts bought gifts as a celebration of my cousin’s birthday, even though there was no cake to cut as is usually done by those who celebrated a birthday.

Among the people who need to remember the date of someone else’s birthday are married couples. The husband or wife must remember the birthday of his partner. To me, one of the secrets of a married couple’s happiness is remembering and appreciating the important things of each other. It seems like a small thing but able to strengthen the relationship, so there are fewer divorce cases in this country.

When I was working at the Ministry of Youth and Sports, Putrajaya. Each time the Monthly Meeting of staff with the Minister and the top management of the Ministry. There will definitely be a cake cutting event to celebrate the staff celebrating a birthday that month. To me, a birthday celebration is very meaningful when it comes to such appreciation.

We cannot deny that the human being, by nature loves to be appreciated. One way to appreciate it is to say or celebrate someone's birthday. The most important thing lies not in the form of giving but more in the memory. Other people, rarely remember my date of birth.

Pengalaman menjadi Guru

Setiap dari kita pasti bertemu seorang insan bernama 'Cikgu'. Insan yang memainkan peranan penting dalam mendidik kita selain dari ibubapa di rumah.  Dari dahulu lagi, orang sering ibaratkan menjadi guru ini seperti menjadi sebatang lilin yang membakar diri demi menerangi jiwa dan hati anak bangsa. Aku ingin berkongsi sedikit pengalaman menjadi seorang cikgu. Pengalaman yang tidak pernah terjangka di minda aku. Pernah memohon menjadi guru lepasan DPLI atau KPLI tapi semua permohonan aku gagal termasuk temuduga yang turut keputusannya mendukacitakan aku. Kisah aku menjadi guru bermula apabila tamat kontrak sebagai tele-marketing sebuah Kolej Swasta di Kota Bharu.Ketika itu, aku menghantar resume ke semua organisasi yang difikirkan sesuai termasuk sekolah swasta.  Dijadikan cerita, pada suatu hari aku menerima panggilan temuduga dari salah satu Sekolah Swasta di Kota Bharu. Sekolah tersebut dikatakan merupakan sekolah yang terkenal sejak dari dahulu lagi. Sekolah tersebut ba

Walaupun telah lama aku tinggalkan Universiti Malaya, terutama Jabatan Pengajian Media, masih ada kenangan yang terpahat dalam ingatan. Pelbagai kisah tidak tercatat tetapi di coret dalam kamus hidup aku. Setelah melaporkan diri di Kolej Kediaman Ke-7, aku mempunyai tempoh 1-2 minggu untuk menentukan Subjek Major & Minor bagi melengkapkan Ijazah Sarjan Muda nanti.   Pada mulanya aku berminat pada Pengajian Hubungan Antarabangsa & Strategik sebagai subjek major.  Namun pada hari pertama masuk kelas pengenalan, lecture terus bagi assignment yang lebih fokus kepada undang-undang antarabangsa, membuatkan aku terasa takut sangat dengan beban bakal aku pikul nanti. Lagipun aku bukan dalam kategori pelajar pintar seperti orang lain. Seterusnya aku mencuba Jabatan Pengajian Media, abang aku merupakan mantan pelajar Jabatan ini, maka aku pernah mendapat pendedahan berkenaan hala tuju graduan Jabatan Pengajian Media nanti.  Bagi pelajar-pelajar yang ingin mendapatkan Jabatan pilihan mere

BAGAIMANA MENJADI TELEMARKETING?

-
Aku ingin kongsi pengalaman bekerja sebagai Telemarketing bagi sebuah Institusi Pendidikan di bandar Kota Bharu, seingat aku sekitar tahun 2008. Walaupun bekerja atas nama status kontrak, ia memberi pengalaman baru kepada aku, secara peribadi.Maklumlah budak pengajian media dari Universiti Malaya tiba-tiba jadi budak marketing. Apabila aku tamat latihan "on job training" di sebuah GLC yang base di Airports Subang pada tahun 2007. Aku mengambil keputusan balik kampung untuk menjaga ibu yang kini tinggal seorang setelah kematian abah. Aku mengambil inisiatif menghantar resume ke seluruh institusi atau organisasi yang dirasakan sesuai di sekitar Kota Bharu pada awal tahun 2008. Salah sebuah organisasi yang aku hantar permohonan terbuka telah menghubungi aku untuk hadir ke sesi temuduga yang aku tidak mengetahui apa jawatannya. Proses temuduga berjalan lancar, alhamdulillah aku berjaya dalam temuduga tersebut dan aku mula melaporkan diri sebagai Tele-Marketing bagi organisasi
