Hari Jadi Ke 44 n DG 44

Syukur, masa telah menganjak usia. Kini usia telah meningkat 44 tahun dan pada tahun ini juga telah naik pangkat 44. Seusai umur 44 banyak membuahkan hasil. Awal tahun 2009 bunga -bunga kejayaan mula memekar. Bermula dengan pencalonan untuk mendapat Pingat dari Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang, Ke Bologna dan Frankfurt, Menyiapkan tesis dan konvo Master pada Ogos ini dan banyak lagi kenangan manis.Terima kasih untuk segalanya yang berada disekeliling. Hari jadi juga amat bermakna kerana disambut bersama keluarga dan rakan sekerja. Hanya tinggalan makanan di Pizza Hut , sambutan harijadi bersama keluarga. Tanggal 28 April ke Residence UNITEN Hotel , Luncheon bersama officemate.dan ada special birthday request and live band..

Kuala Lumpur International Book Fairs 2009

Segalanya telah berakhir untuk tahun ini . KLIBF 2009 telah berlalu pada 26 April lalu dengan pengunjung seramai 1.5 juta orang. Walaupun tidak menepati sasaran tetapi kualiti mereka yang hadir memuaskan dan sale buku jangan cakaplah... PTS je boleh sale sampai 500 ribu cash.
Tetapi kepuasan yang tidak terhingga... berjaya menyiapkan teks ucapan Menteri Pelajaran dengan baik sekali dan tentu sekali atas sokongon dan komen yang positif from seorang yang bermakna dalam kerjaya... Halim. Begitu juga dengan Hari Buku dan Hak Cipta Sedunia pada 23 April dan lahirlah lagu tema dengan lirik dicipta olehku dengan bantuan University Limkokwing. Teks ucapan KPPM juga tidak banyak yang diedit baik semasa perasmian KLIBF mahupun Hari Buku dan Hak Cipta Sedunia.
Segalanya berjalan lancar dan media mula menyerbu untuk mendapatkan maklumat. Kesian media kerana terlepas pandang mengenai pertukaran waktu pelancaran World Book Day. anyway seronok juga bila nama disebut dalam Radio 24, Utusan Malaysia, Sinar.
Terlalu banyak yang hendak dikongsi tetapi tak tahu bagaimana nak meluahkannya.

Bologna ,Italy and Frankfurt Germany

Alhamdulillah sememangnya rezeki menyebelahi aku dan diberi peluang untuk ke Bologna Italy langsung ke Frankfurt German. Ke Bologna dengan seribu satu halangan dan cabaran sebelum berjaya. Dengan financial yang merudum dan persediaan yang hactic akhirnya berjaya juga. Perjalanan memakan masa 15 jam dari KLIA ke Frankfurt dengan Lutfhansa Air then ke Bologna melepasi banjaran Alps yang masih diliputi sajli.
Bologna seperti kampung biasa dan cuaca dingin hingga 5 darjah celcius menyambut kami, setelah berehat di Holiay Inn Via Emilia terus ke tapak pesta buat preparation.
Sedih rasanya bila tengok stand Malaysia yang cokia je. tengok Taiwan, Korea dan Thailand rasa macam ketinggalan je. Anyway tahun depan aku akan ke sana lagi dengan satu matlamat baru. stand malaysia perlu ada tema dan konsep yang jelas.
Aku berada di book fair selama 5 hari dan selama itulah aku belajar pelbagai perkara,aku lihat ia adalah sebuah trade fair dan aktiviti menjual hak cipta berlaku dengan meluas sekali. tiada pengunjung yang datang nak beli buku tapi mereka yang datang adalah mereka yang ada bussiness intention. bagus pengalaman yang amat mahal.

New Work Place

lama sungguh tak masuk entri, bukan apa baru nak establish dengan environment baru dan lain dari tempat lama. Kerja kat MBKM best, tak ramai staff (7 orang) je. We are like brothers and sisters, segala susah payah di tanggung bersama. So many new things yang dipelajari and to bulid up networking at national level. Insyaallah akan ke Italy this Mac, mengetuai delegasi Malaysia ke Bologna Children's Book fair. Alhamdulillah dapat coop disini..

Pengalaman bersama Cheetah

Ah.. kalau diikutkan hati, memang letih sungguh rasa badan ini. Letih balik dari NZ belum habis lagi, then pindah ke Putrajaya. Then terus ke Jakarta bersama staff BTPN. Agak malang bila flight delay lebih dua jam kat air port bayan lepas. Dari excited jadi tension. Alhamdulillah semua berjalan lancar, tiba di jakarta jam 2.00 pagi. Shoping ke Tanah Abang itu semestinya then ke Mangga Dua. Tapi depa suka ke Tanah Abang dan agak murah. Pengalaman yang tak boleh lupa ke Safari di Puncak, macetnya tuhan saha yang tahu. Seumur hidup pertama kali dapat peluk cheetah dan anak harimau albino. Thanks to Okky yang jadi tour guide yang setia. I know depa syok habis shopping dari jutawan terus bankrupsi. heheheh

Kalau nak ke NZ

What you should do when in New Zealand?

Yes, this is the best part.... stroll around this land of scenery and sheep's. What you should do..

1.Get the I Site , the most important place to get advice and cheap expenses to go around NZ.
2.Suggested...
- if you landed in Auckland... stay 2 days there and roam in Auckland, then continue to Roturua, not that fare around 3 hours ride from Auckland. Take a bus or rent a car if possible. In Roturua stay in Backpackers, it's cheap and clean an secured. It cost only NZ 22-25 pernight. Don't miss the Moari Culture Show, Sheep Shearing at Agrodome and Rainbow Spring (altenatives). Duck Tour is even interesting because we'll experience tour on land and lake. Roam around Roturoa Lake and the government Garden. The scenery, termandous beatiful and romantic.
3.Then continue you way to southern to Wellington and you'll come across Lake Taupo, beautiful lake. On the way you'll come across a volcanic dessert of Mount Ruaphehu. The Journey take s 8 hours but I can promise it's not a boring journey . The bus will stop for a while in some spot to pick up and down load passengers. Our lunch will be at Flat Hill and the most delicous scone and vegetables soup.
4.Next, here come Wellington Harbour with unpredcitable weather. Some may say it's windy city and the people here well “got class ma”. Where to go around Wellington, a lot the harbaour, Te Papa Museum, riding the tramp to Botanical Garden. Or if such an adventurous person, rent a mountain bike and you'll see the most beautiful scenery from top of the hill.
5.Then, right to the southern island. Take a ferry called Inter Islander to Picton crossing the Cook Straits and go along fiord's to Picton. Catch a train there. Trans Scenic Train to Christchurch. A typical British town. Calm and pleasant . Not to forget take a tramp ride round the city center plus the putting ride and gondola. It's amazing, everything such a beautiful. Not to forget, the train ride from Picton to Christchurch takes 5 quality hours where you'll experienced to see the Pacific Ocean with seals resting on the beach. As usual just stay in backpackers, convenience and cheap.

6.Head to southern of the island, Queenstown and Dunedin, don't forget Milford Sound. Unlucky .. I couldn't reached there due of time limit. Finally get back to Auckland by flight.

Shopping...
Ah... this was the critical moment here. NZ made are expensive and Made in China stuff it's quite cheap here. In term of souvenirs the paua and wool are from NZ. The best culinary sets are from Briscos but careful of overweight. Other, such as jackets are reasonable and is up to our choice actually. T shirts are made in China but design in New Zealand.

If you stay long just go down to Sunday Farmers market, is not that cheap but better then eating outside . What I've learned, in such a tour, that no need for a nice meals as at home. Eat what ever we can eat as long its halal.

Here.. I,ve tried Morocon food.

People here...

Oh like the people here, nice humble and respect people. Firstly I would thank Nazrina Aziz for helping me during my stay in Stafford House. Not to forget Marrie and Steward with kind hearted and very friendly. To Faiz my beloved cousin who drove me , Nizan and Nina to Lydell experincing the country side and send me off at the airport. To Dan, words never come easy to me, to thanks him for his caring, loving and understanding the multicultures surrounding the participants. To Ptof Gary and wife Lan Anh with their full support of what ever activties being done. To Philips and wife, thanks for a nice lunch in Upper Hut, a delicous Indian cuisine. Not to forget James who always share his experience as librarian and the sharing were very significant with my life as teacher librarian before.

Future plan...

I'll be coming to NZ again to pursue my Doctoral in Information Management. I've got the offer
of Nordin Mohamed Scholarships and will get back home to discuss with my husband. As I'm my way back to home country, that a lot of thins to do. Reporting at the Book Council Of Malaysia, going to Jakarta with fellow office staff and moving to Putra Jaya.

Finally , this is not the end of everything as I leaved NZ, this is the starting point for me to go far beyond, I know I have the ability to do but there a lot of obstacle surrounding me before I could succeed.

Thanks everybody who involved for my dreams to NZ comes through.
