Finally..... :-)

Assalamualaikum... Hi..

Finally... It is now confirmed.. What I've been waiting for.. and I've got it now in hand.. Syukur Alhamdulillah.. Today is the Convocation Day for the UBD graduates and I could still remember my graduation last year.. It all seemed like yesterday.. and only after one year, I'm receiving another good news early this week.

I'm so glad that I've got my Masters earlier and I'm really glad that it made me move forward and really i'm going to make myself go up the ladder again.. if ada rezeki lagi.. I know it is going to be a tough one but I'm sure it'll pay off in the end and of course I remember the peribahasa melayu "Bersusah-susah dahulu, bersenang-senang kemudian".

InsyaAllah.. I will try my best as a teacher to educate my students and also do my job as usual.. I don't know what will be there for me in the future.. but I do hope that this small change will help improve major changes to all, including myself as an individual.

Work and future..

These two days were really tiring. I know that I needed to attend the workshops coz it will help me understand better about data analysis which I did in Melbourne.

Thanx to the act. Principal (Deputy Principal) for giving me permission to attend the workshop. It was in fact a very good one! I'm really learning something out of the two workshops and I did discuss about my previous understandings of Rasch model to the facilitator. He asked me why do I need to attend this workshop as I have been trained to do this analysis for three weeks. So, I told him that I needed further details on what I was lacking and it was really a patchwork on the experiences in Melbourne. People from the Exam Department, MoE wasn't aware about our training workshop in Melbourne, which I guess was only known to only two departments. Anyway, I'm really glad that I got some answers to all my doubts in this area of statistics.. actually in the psychometric field of statistics. 

I guess if another teacher was assigned to take up this workshop, it will be a definite "I don't understand anything" response as what some of the workshop participants have expressed their concerns during the last day of this workshop for our group. Well, most say that they needed time and were very clueless during the theory part.. and some of the terminology which were so unfamiliar to them. I was surprised that most of the workshop participants were teachers who do not have the statistics background and this actually have caused problems in their understanding of the terminology. I did my part in helping out a group of lady teachers during the workshops and was really glad that I did that. Alhamdulillah.

Time was a limiting factor for this workshop and everybody was expecting that there will be some kind of hands-on activity using the computer to input data, analyse and then interpret the data to make the final report.. Anyway, I really hope that everybody can make use of this analysis in the students report later on, the SPN-21 assessment report as well as the SPE for each school and each subject and each student.

I'm still waiting for the memo from the Ministry regarding the workshop that we will be involved in, as a team of officers to share the findings based on our training in Melbourne.. It's the first week of December as my trainer has emailed me earlier today asking me about him coming over to Brunei soon. I'm really, really glad that he's read my reports and that it was well done. He expects me to write much more later on.. well, if i have the time and with real data, perhaps we'll be able to make sure that we can apply what we've been trained for. 

I'm also glad about something else that involves rewards for myself and Alhamdulillah.. Whatever it is, I should be thankful for everybody who supports me in one way or another, directly or indirectly, to achieve this success that was due for quite a long time. I'm just hoping that I could pursue further, kalau ada rezeki.. I know that it's not going to be easy this time around as I had to be much more resourceful and I should know what I want to do next, and where I would want to be later on. 

So, not hoping for anything yet.. just a thought and perhaps a plan for the future.. No promises..

InsyaAllah.. tidak mampu untuk menjanjikan apa-apa setakat ini.. Doa, Usaha dan Tawakkal..

Stressful days to go...

It's been terribly out of hand.. My days are filled with lots of "fun" activities which puts me in too much pressure.. sigh...
I just hope I'm in a good condition to finish off what I'm doing just to get myself ready for the next few months. Heading off to a really "good" start wouldn't be such a good idea.. haha..lolz..
My dear friend who's sitting next to me is trying to figure out what I'm doing at the moment with myself and what I'm writing in this next post.
Huh... Cakap orang puteh ani.. wah...
Mungkin ada yang sasak ani.. Anyway, I'm just getting my 'little' mind being of relaxing type after completing my fifth report which was actually due few weeks back and I still have one more final report to be sent to Melbourne.
Imagine returning back from Melbourne 2 weeks before raya and you have to complete them within 1 week after returning.. and you have raya preparations at home.. family.. demands from everybody at home and also from work.. hmm... susah wah...
So I managed to find myself a balak when i was on my way back from the canteen...hehehe

Just to clear the air here... The sentence just above this line was not done by me.. hehehe...
Ok... Nevermind.. Perhaps I would not be able to make updates for this coming weeks..
Maybe..
So, just wait until it is the school holidays.. and after my workshop in December then i'll be able to post more updates for mcd readers. Ok then..
Can't wait til my next trip to ......
Then you'll be getting more stories... from abroad..
Take care...
