It’s like time was put on hold, & yet it’s rolling.
Get it?
I dunno how else to describe it but it’s like I’ve been living with bated breath these few days. & yet that also, seems unending.
It would be the world’s biggest bluff if I say it all went smoothly.
Owing to most of the committee’s hard work & cooperation, it all went quite well.
T H A N K Y O U A L L .
Sounds cliché? Well, that’s life.
Praise be to Allah. 1st December was over. Good things & not so good things happened. The silver lining is something to look forward to.
I learned many things of course. Being me, I tried to avoid certain things too. But being who I was or had to be for that moment, I couldn’t of course.
One of the professors was 25 minutes too late, if counted from the start of the Presentation session. Opening Ceremony was about 30 minutes before that. The KayJay asked me to check on him. So I brisk walked from the library, up the stairs, to the parking lot, still not knowing whether he had arrived or not, trying to make the call at the same time.
Upon arriving at the banquet, I saw Mr. ISM having breakfast, 2 hours much later than the other committee. He’d been working almost non-stop too since the evening before. He was the other committee beside IS & me who came to work on Thursday the previous week – Eidul Adha holiday. Since office was not off that day, we had decided to come to work as it was the only chance for us to negotiate with the admin & librarian on certain pressing matters. Luckily IS didn’t plan on going back to his hometown in Perlis for the Raya.
Back to the professor- apparently he got lost for a bit & had waited in the other parking lot for quite some time, scrutinizing the new building in progress. Oh my…!
& so began our small talk…Yes, I had to escort him all the way, plus to the restroom.
Before that, I was actually already seated in room eLaR 1, set to listen to the 1st research presentation on the college’s MentorMenteeProgramme. Prior to that session, our R&D chairman beckoned to me outside the room. I was worried & nervous since he didn’t & couldn’t say anything, was trying to gain balance & composure, for about 1 minute as I stood before him. He leaned to the wall. Oh my…!
& so I had to be his back up, at least till he could get back steady on his feet, I had hoped.
Anyway, after all the professors were in their respective rooms, of course I then had to attend to the lady professor in the room I was in. She wasn’t so well that day. Said she had just returned from
I texted many times throughout the sessions, to various people (committee), & trying very hard at the same time not to seem rude as I was sitting on the front row, next to the professor. Since I couldn’t see what was going on outside/ in the other rooms, I had to check through others. It was funny afterwards realising that I texted certain instructions to the wrong committee, but that committee & a couple of others helped to get them done anyway, more than once. Bagus betulla korg...!
Oh well, the event has passed now. Next is another list of things to be compiled & submitted to the BeeMKayPeeM representative who came that day. She wrote down 8 items on the list, said I should be able to pass them through the KayJay so it could be passed by hand for a scheduled meeting over at BeeMKayPeeM next week.
InsyaAllah…
