It’s a Friday, a public holiday and I felt like just resting and relaxing. We need to take a break to be more productive and effective.
Today I basically allocated after lunch for meeting several students. I have arrange 2 meetings with 2 different PSM students as well as a scheduled meeting with my Plant Design Project group. The meeting is scheduled to be at 2-3 pm every Thursday. The students reported and consulted me with various issues and unanswered questions. Some I can help while some i couldn’t. Anyway, the students will return to me and inform me after they got their clarification.

One of the task assigned to me was to conduct safety audit at 4 labs in the school of chemical and energy engineering (SKT). With me, there were Dr. Hajar Alias and Dr. Yanti Maslina Jusoh. We all were assigned to audit Process Design Lab (N15-2), Process Control and Instrumentation Lab (N15-1), Chemical Reaction Engineering Group (CREG) Lab (N16-1) and Analytical Lab (N18-2). The event went fine. Off course there were few stuffs that requires improvement and concern.

At work today, I continued to assist the Active Learning Workshop at SKT since it was a 2-day workshop from 17-18 February 2020. However, after official office hour, I still have to serve work, to conduct community service. At my housing area, I am actively involve with the community. I serve the Surau as AJK (Asssitant Secretary), the Koperasi Surau Bestari as the Director and Kursus Asas Haji (KAH) as Treasurer. I must admit that my life is quite hectic with many things going around at work and at the community level, but this is what we are entrusted to do and contribute as professionals by the God.
Usually, during KAH this season, I take care of the Koperasi business alongside with Hj Samiin. The program ended quite late tonight, roughly close to 11.45pm. Alhamdulillah everything went well.

Rancangan mengadakan get together bersama student Penasihat Akademik (PA) saya akhirnya dapat dijayakan pada hari ini di rumah saya. Alhamdulillah. Ini adalah set pelajar PA saya yang kedua dalam karier saya sebagai pensyarah. Pelajar PA saya sekarang berada dalam tahun kedua pengajian semester kedua.
Kesemua mereka ada 23 orang dan yang hadir 15. Yang tak hadir ada hal dan urusan tertentu. It is ok. Tapi 15 pelajar yang hadir saya berikan sepatah dua kata motivasi dan bayangan perancangan karier serta bayangan perancangan akhir pengajian. Program start pukul 6pm, dengan sedikit riadhah, bola dan badminton. Main kejap je, lepas tu buat tour rumah, dan diikuti dengan makan malam. Lepas tu solat magrib kejap dan sesi ceritera motivasi masa hadapan. Alhamdulillah semua kenyang dan happy :).
Terima kasih isteri PM Dr. Mazura yang memberi sokongan dan bantu bertungkus lumus masak di dapur. Ikhwan, Marsya, Alya, Zara, Bibik… Semuanya berhempas pulas bantu prep the house for the event.

Many thinks that a lecturer’s job is to teach and lecture. But it is actual not just that. On top of teaching a lecturer have to also do research, supervise student, write journal paper, publish books, do consultancy projects and serve the community. In other extra situations, lecturer also have to be administrator and involve income generation duties. For today I am involved in another unwritten lecturer task which is to give advice and consultation on future career progression. We had a long session today and I hope Wei Chi will be clearer on his career pathway after this.
