Postgraduate

Alhamdulillah

It have been so long since my last entry. My brain has been drained out of ideas to write something, and now as a learning process in my training programme, I was advised to write a new entry. My graduation ceremony had been a nice experience, I learned how foreign university held their formal event which is very interesting and bizarre to any typical Malaysians I think. You might wonder why, but, to give an idea, my elder sister kept babbling once a while that it's like watching Harry Potter movie. I don't have any photos with me right now, because I don't have any idea that I have to update my blog today. Unprepared for this you know, so I am quite nervous because someone might have been reading it now I guess.

However, after the end of ceremony, I remembered Eternal Garden's post about her graduation day and how she reflects about how are we going to feel during the judgment Day? We will receive our FINAL result and unveil where our final DESTINATION should be. How foolish am I to be so excited for only a piece of paper that granted me a qualification to work? Let's make this an effort to remind ourself each day that one day we will also receive the book of deeds, depends on which hand you will receive, either right or left? Remember that Allah swt. had revealed to us about this in Surah Al-Haqqah:

'So as for he who is given his record(of deeds) in his right hand, he will say, "Here read my record!Indeed I was certain that I would be meeting my account(reckoning)".Then he will be in blissful state.In a high garden. Whereof the clusters are in easy reach. Eat and drink at ease for that which ye sent on before you in past days.

But as for him who is given his record in his left hand, he will say:Oh, would that I had not been given my book and knew not what my reckoning!
(Al-haqqah: 19-26)



So, why on earth I am writting like this?

I was selected to join Biotechnology Entrepreneurship Special Training(BeST) programme. Some people would say Yeay! for me and congratulate me about that. Well, after a while working as a Research Assisstant in Jabatan Syariah & Pengurusan, Academy of Islamic Studies UM, I had this feeling I should do something to land a better and biotech-related job. The RA position is a three-month contract and the salary is not that much. But I do LOVE working with Dr. Sana'a, she is very nice to me and she is very sad that I have to leave. She keep saying 'Good Job', which I think sometimes she overrated my work. I personally thinks that she put a very low expectation from her RA, previous RA was not so good RA and had had a personal problems with her(okey, bangga diri sekejap but this is what she TOLD me).

So back to BeST. It is a programme funded by BiotechCorp Sdn Bhd for fresh graduates. I got a call on Monday during work and during the time that I was doing my isthikharah to say yes or no for a marketing position in a hospital.

Okay too much of shocking news from me right now, right?
After exams finished, I spend two months at home volunteering myself to help my mom. Dia sakit kaki and masih sakit lagi. After eidul fitri, then I was serious applying for a job and interviewing. And then the job at UM, and then an offer from Metro IVF Klang. Finally, I chose BeST.

Why I chose to be in BeST? A friend who had attended BeST said I should work and give the opportunities to others (bagi chance la kat orang lain pulakk)..
Well, I chose BeST because I still think that I don't really know my one potential. I don't even know if I am good at marketing, or I just syok sendiri at all time. Maybe this is the rigth time to brush up my skills and warm up in Biotech working world. lol..=p

Okay, that's it for now. Sudah lama saya tidak tulis macam ini...=|
