End of Semester 1 2009/2010

It's already end of Semester 1 2009/2010 at the University Kebangsaan Malaysia / the National University of Malaysia. Students are in the middle of their examination weeks and soon it will be semester break? A break? Doesn't look like there'll be one for the academic staff as usual. But to mark end of the semester, our International students held farewell gatherings and here are some of the pics taken at a few of those that I was invited to.

I'm back :) !

Hi again. I have misplaced myself for quite a while. To those who follow thia blog, please accept my apology for not updating the bolg. But I'm back. The coming postings will include the many things that I wanted to share with you but then I had to give priority to other things including researches (officials and nons!). Peter Reynolds, watch this! I'm back and till the end of the year, as a Chritsmas gift, this blog need not necessarily be student-oriented but no harm done if my international students join in, unconditionally. To myself, Happy Blogging again

Bloggers' blogs

Excited, I got my students to participate in my blog today. Some looked surprised, but obviously it turned out that I was the one who was also surprised to find that many of them own their own blogspots. What a cyberworld! Happy blogging all!
p/s Rozmel, enjoy every bit of your blogging session!

My Condolences

My condolences to my head of Unit of Foreign Languages and Translation, Assoc Prof Dr Siti Hamin Stapa for the loss of her dearest beloved husband Wan Ramli bin Wan Mohd Zin who passed away on the 23rd of May 2009. May he rest in peace in the care of Allah.

I thought I did what I had to do...

To start my own weblog? I heard of it, I saw some of them but I never thought of having one. So at the PTK course on 23rd May 2009 marked the very first milestone of my own weblog- when it was made compulsory. That was what I thought at first, for the sake of submitting, but then no one mentioned about getting addicted to it. After Saturday the 23rd of May, I put a side PTK, got busy with other 'priortised' matters, until yesterday, after a farewell lunch for Dr Musaev Talaibek (our Japanese lecturer moving to another university in Kuala Lumpur) I thought I just gotta upload somewhere the pics taken at San Francisco in Bandar Baru Bangi. Well, very early today I got up, uploaded all the PTK pics and San Fran pics and Sydney-Melbourne pics and I got all geared up to start with my very own NORWATI'S TRANSLATIONBLOG.

The blog ready, the pics uploaded and some text written to start with, I know Dr Noraziah, I won't let you down!

For now, those who asked for pics from me, happy downloading.
