It has been a while since I logged in and updated the information at this webpage.\u00a0 It is not that I am lazy to do this but there are so many things that I think are more important to do and thus, I “neglect” this webpage of mine.\u00a0 My fault.\u00a0 I admit that.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are so many things have happened within 6 years.\u00a0 Some leave indelible marks on my life but what a heck, whatever thing that does not kill me, makes me stronger.\u00a0 Attaboy!\u00a0 That’s the spirit.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, what’s new?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I just came back from Latihan Ikhtisas or LI (Professional Training) which I had undergone at a school for a year in March 2019.\u00a0 I admit that the first few weeks were challenging because I am in the process of reclaiming my identity as someone who teaches at university, rather than school.\u00a0 Being a teacher has its own perks yet nothing can beat the satisfaction of teaching university students even though there are more challenges (not in teaching them per se but with the other 7Ps – including Pembersihan).\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

When I left UTM to start my LI, I left my 7Ps responsibilities.\u00a0 When I came back to UTM, I am entrusted with another P – Pembersihan<\/strong>.\u00a0 <\/span>Yup.\u00a0 We are becoming like the Japanese schools.\u00a0 There are some people come to collect the rubbish from the big black bin at the corridor, but there are no more person in charge of cleaning the toilets, hallway etc. on daily basis.\u00a0 \u00a0 Since “Kakak” stopped her contract, there are irregular individuals who come once a while to clean i.e. clear up the big black rubbish bins, not cleaning the toilets though.\u00a0 \u00a0But, I don’t mind to clean and mop the toilet once per day (if I feel like it) even though some of my colleagues feel otherwise.\u00a0 Like one of my colleagues said “I am responsible to clean the toilets at my home.\u00a0 I don’t want to clean the toilet at my workplace.\u00a0 I teach (Pengajaran), supervise (Penyelidikan), conduct research (Penyelidikan), write many things not only for publication (Penulisan), publish my work (Penerbitan), go to the community to offer my services (Perkhidmatan kepada watan), be a consultant for others (Perundingan), and now what?\u00a0 Cleaning (Pembersihan)?<\/em>”\u00a0 I couldn’t agree more with this person yet this is the reality which I have to face or another stressor that I have to deal with.<\/span><\/p>\n

To decrease stress causes by a stressor, there are certain coping strategies that I can use.\u00a0 Either using appraisal-focused coping, emotion-focused coping or problem-focused coping.\u00a0 In this case, I choose appraisal-focused coping.\u00a0 Rather than looking at the additional P i.e. Pembersihan<\/em> as a burden, I look at it as a way for me to relieve my stress by doing physical works.\u00a0 Just doing a quick mopping gives me a sense of satisfaction when I look at the clean floor.\u00a0 Yay!!!!\u00a0 I feel good by releasing my oxytocin hormone when I see the faces of toilet users who happen to be my students who say that they prefer to go to this toilet because it is clean.\u00a0 I guess now, for the eppp I need the students to rate me in terms of my commitment to make them feel “comfortable<\/strong>” – i.e. to make their “tushy” feel comfortable- while studying at UTM (tongue in cheek remark!<\/em><\/span>).\u00a0 \u00a0Well, what can I say!\u00a0 “Happy tummy, happy studying<\/em>“?<\/span><\/p>\n

Attaboy!\u00a0 Good job, Dijah! (I am self-praising myself because I using self-regulated model to evaluate my action)<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, that’s all from me!<\/span><\/p>\n
