6 months off for course *sigh*

before we got married, when both of us were manufacturing slave, hafdzuan told me: "one of us must join the government".
u know the reasons why - to get the pencen, benefits, and bla bla bla (if we are a government slave).

to be honest, i did not see any excitement to be part of the govenrment staff (at the moment laa, sooner or later i will not know yet). i feel like - macam leceh jek nak apply, and what options do i have? being a - lecturer? officer? engineer? researcher? i just keep in silent mode everytime when he asked me did i apply on any govt vacancies. sigh. so he was the one who always give a try.

then, hafdzuan went for his PTD exam.
first trial - failed!
second trial - made it to the final interview round & success!
he received his PTD offer a week right after we get married. *most valuable wedding presents*
tu laa org kata, rezeki kahwin. naik-naik keje terus tender resignation (he was working with S*ny as senior engineer at that time).

previous job

current job

ok, panjang plak intro nye.

make it to the point --- in order to confirm his position, he needs to attend a DPA (Diploma Pentadbiran Awam) course from 1/3 till 30/9 (it is 6 months yooo!). luckily it will be held in Intan KL & he is allowed to go back only in weekends (not every weekend perhaps).

im not sure how to express my feelings.
despite all the rumours i heard bout DPA course, i just hope ...... he will be as what-he-is when he come back after the 6 months period.
i might need to do a long list for him before he left ;)

so this is what he will be for the next 6 months:
a weekend husband.
a weekend father.
obviously, he will miss hadzim first walk & first words (thats all i can think of right now).

i shall be ok ... i think.
after all, its only 6 months..
:) :l :(

terpengaruh dgn Avatar 3D, jadi kami pon naik Gunung Datuk

sabtu tu (13/2/10), kami g tengok Avatar 3D kt klcc. ye, selepas 7 bulan kami tak layan muvie (sejak deliver hadzim) & mahu spent time berdua sebelum hafdzuan off to his DPA for 6 months in 2 weeks time.
kalau ada 10 thumbs, mmg 10 10 aku nak bg kat Avatar ni, lg plak yg 3D ni.
mmg patut laa menang byk award. terbaekkk giler.
aku malas nak review lebih, kalau ada duit lebih, g la layan yg 3D punye.
(tiket 3D kat klcc - rm18/head).

pastu balik tu, kami terus bercadang nak naik Gunung Datuk, Rembau selepas terpengaruh nak feeling-feeling hutan Avatar (since hadzim ditingglkan di rumah mertua di Pedas sementara kami g bersuka ria layan Avatar 3D).
so esoknya, pergilah kami ke Gunung Datuk, yang terletak di Rembau (dekat jek dgn rumah mertua di Pedas), dan pendakian hanyalah menggunakan crocs sahaja! (sbb tak bawak sports shoes balik kampung).

secara ringkasnya, Gunund Datuk, Rembau mempunyai ketinggian 2400 kaki (884 meter) di atas paras laut.

ni kali ke-dua aku naik gunung lepas gunung kinabalu (thn 2005). masa tu muda remaja lagi, masih ok lg. kali ni dah tak brape nak remaja dgn keadaan baru 7 bulan lepas bersalin (alasan).

pendaftaran utk naik gunung. bayaran sebanyak rm3/person dikenakan.

(aku tak brape paham pantun kat sebelah tu.. hehe. ada sesape boleh tolong explainkan?)




perjalanan bermula. hampir merangkak! trek adalah boleh tahan mencabar.

anak-buah-hampir-pancit amik nafas sket

halfway trek adalah agak mencabar. halfway lg ok laa, landai sikit, tak berapa penat.

perjalanan sampai ke puncak Gunung Datuk mengambil masa selama 2jam. (pakcik jaga gunung ni cakap 2jam 45 min .. rupanya tu time utk dia kot .. dah namanya pon "pakcik" .. hehe).

pemandangan dari atas Gunung Datuk. pemandangan seluruh negeri sembilan & melaka (kot???) . sungguh berbaloi-baloi. hilang smua penat.

view di puncak & dari puncak

foto wajib di puncak menggunakan tripod batu




walaupon cuaca agak panas (waktu tiba - 11am), tp angin sejuk kuat gile sampai rasa goyang plak, tak berani sangat nak berdiri lama-lama (padahal gayat)





menikmati keindahan puncak sambil makan sandwich yg dibawa bekal


selepas melepak selama 1/2 jam di puncak, kami memulakan perjalanan turun.


perjalanan turun dari puncak


gua? - di tapak perkhemahan (bawah sikit dari puncak gunung)


dah turun baru mood bergambar datang, tapi muke penat pulak


batu besar






perjalanan turun yg agak curam & mendera tapak kaki yg hanya menggunakan crocs





termites





makhluk gunung



perjalanan turun mengambil masa selama 1 1/2 jam. terus rendam kaki kat dlm air terjun kat bawah puncak. sejuk giler & best giler.


melepaskan lelah

pendakian agak memenatkan (mestilah) sebab sampai hari ni masih lagi sakit-sakit badan. ketiadaan proper kasut menyebabkan badan terhentak 2 3 kali sebab permukaan trek yg licin & curam ketika turun. so lepas ni jgn tunjuk hero naik gunung tak pakai kasut ok .. hehe.
