Semalam adalah hari yang bersejarah buat saya. Ceritanya macam ini, saya telah dipanggil untuk bercakap mengenai MIDA di depan pelajar Universiti M S U Shah Alam. Dannn, sebagai hadiah saya telah dapat ini....

Yay....akhirnya, di umur 44 tahun ni, dapat juga saya munge...ekekekek. Bawa balik, tunjuk kat suami.
Saya tanye hubby, tak de ke perasaan nak bagi saya munge. Dia kata, nanti waktu anniversary yang ke 10, dia bagi...hmmm...moga panjang umur saya dan sempatlah saya dapat munge tuh...hikkkks.
Let's go back to the presentation made ye. Sebelum mula presentation, saya saja tanya students yang hadir a few questions so that I would have some rough idea on their knowledge about MIDA. I asked 4 basic questions, the questions were :
1) Has any of you heard about MIDA before? Answer : None
2) Has any of you heard about MITI before? Answer : None
3) Has any of you to who is MITI's Minister? Answer : None
4) Have you ever heard of Rafidah Aziz? Answer : Many of them raised their hands.
So, that is the basis of how I should start my short presentation... the listeners really were having almost zero knowledge about the subject that I am going to talk about...really. I understand that MIDA/MITI and other agencies under MITI may not be of any relevance to them now. But the fact that they did not bother at all to find any information about MIDA before they attend the talk make me feel disappointed.
It's very easy to access information on MIDA from the internet which they can do while waiting for my arrival...tapi nak cakap macam mana kan....karang marah-marah pun, mesti ada jawapan tuh.
But anyway, I was a little nervous before I entered the hall, but when I found out that my audience did not have the slightest idea of what I am going to talk about, I was a bit sad..tapi lega juga sebab depa mesti tak tahu nak tanya soalan kan...hiks...selamat.
But I must acknowledge that the students did arrange the whole event nicely. Yup, they waited for me at the entrance, show me my parking space, walk with me to the hall since the place was huge and I might get lost. They have shown their talent to be a "promotional" person.
And they communicate in English...good English. I spoke in English too until I got tensed up and started to cakap Melayu...he he he.

But all went well and after that they served us lunch. The lecturer brought us to this cafe on top of the building where we were able to enjoy the view of Shah Alam. We were served nasi, sotong masak merah, ikan masak asam pedas and ayam masak lemak cili api plus sayur. I was informed that the food was prepared by the chef who is also teaching culinary there.
Hmmm...saya ni tak le pandai masak, tapi agaknya chef tu masak tanpa kasih sayang kut, jadi, walaupun not bad tapi ada sedikit kurengggg...(tak baik komen fasal makanan kan?...hiksss)
So, I did not snap any photos on the main course, sebab presentation pun biasa-biasa aja...(akibat terlampau mengikut Master Chef punya series la ni). Tapi I did took photos on the dessert...sebab menarik la juga sikit:
Haa...dia bagi lima pieces of cakes...perfect for healthy diet...habis pulak tu
Lepas tu, dia hidang ini...habis gak...penutup.
Lepas habis brief ni, saya balik ke ofis di HQ. Alhamdulillah, Federal Highway sangat clear dan perjalanan hanya mengambil masa 20 minit....
Itu sajalah yang berlaku semalam.
Saya nak count my blessings la...selepas banyak sangat focus atas apa yang terjadi pada Imran.
Saya perlu bersyukur kerana sesungguhnya sangat banyakk nikmat yang diberi. Saya bersyukur sebab saya sihat, saya bersyukur sebab mempunyai pendapatan untuk menyara keluarga dan membantu mereka yang tidak berapa mampu, ada suami yang baik, ada keluarga yang sentiasa supportive walau pun kami kurang berjumpa, ada kawan-kawan/readers yang mengambil berat, ada rumah untuk berlindung, ada kereta untuk bergerak, boleh berjalan, boleh bercakap, boleh bekerja and all other little things.
Tapi tu lah, kadang-kadang saya lupa.....
Pagi tadi, sewaktu bersarapan, saya telah terbaca mengenai seorang bapa yang mengelar anak-anaknya sehinggal ada yang meninggal dunia di Kajang semalam. Sedih betul....
Tapi bila membaca berita itu saya terus teringat yang kami sekeluarga perlu bersyukur kerana Imran masih hidup, Imran masih normal kecuali matanya yang tidak dapat melihat, dannnn....selagi Imran masih bernyawa, selagi itu masih ada harapan...walaupun sebesar kuman.
Dan...kami juga sepatutnya tidak perlu risau kerana Allah yang menjadikan Imran begitu, dan Allah jugalah yang akan memeliharanya....
Moga Allah bukakan hati saya yang keras ini untuk redha....untuk menerima cabaran ini...untuk kuat dan untuk terus tenang dengan cabaran yang diberikan. Berikan saya kekuatan Ya Allah.
