Nihon-go

I started to know about Japan since i was a little girl. Couldn't recall when was it but i think maybe it was 20+ years back. I knew it through my beloved uncle. He did his first degree till his PHD abroad and later when he came back he became a lecturer in USM, Penang. Since then, I always told people that i wanted to be like Pak Ngah, studied abroad, being a Professor at a very young age....yada...yada....yada.....

Later when i was 16, in November 1995 i was chosen to join a student exchange programme between the Ministry of Education and Hyogo Education Board. I was so excited to be in Japan and it was autumn that time. Since then, i started to learn Nihon-go but it was just a "main-main". I was not so serious until i did my bachelor degree and did my Japanese language for my third language class. My result was quite okay that time with 2 B+ and 1 A for 3 semester course.

After that i forgot almost everything until 2 weeks ago when one of my colleague attend Nihon-go class. I asked him to get the same book and started to learn the hiragana again. I talk to my princess in Nihon-go everyday to get her to know other language besides Malay,English and Arabic (her papa taught her few arabic words). She seems understands those words. The few words are :

Ohayo
Konniciwa
Abunai
Miruku o nomimasu
Asa gohan o tabemasu
Daijobu
Teribi
Otosan
Okasan

We also do the simple counting one to 10. Luckily my husband did not object for what i've been doing to our little princess. It is good for her to explore new things in her life. I wish i could do some flashcards for her so that both of us can learn Nihon-go.

Until today, i can write 15 characters in Hiragana. I know that is not much but at least i started to learn something as perhaps 1 days i could get a scholarship to do my MBA in Japan. Who knows.......my wish could come true. As my friend always told me......."Kalau takdak angan2, takkan jadi KLCC tu"

My hiragana.....it is not as good as grade 1 kids but seems ok la i think....drp xtau langsung kan....

Good News....sad ending

Met my former boss who is now heading one of the co in Motor wing few weeks ago. I was told by someone that he needs an assistant. To me it is one in a life time opportunity and i am ready to grab and work with him.

After the short conversation, he called me a week after to offer me the post and last week spoke to HR head of the co. I think it is about time for me to explore new things within the same group but in another division.

Being the smallest team in the department, only 5 of us in the funding team make us very close to each other. My mind told me that i should accept the offer from my former boss but part of my heart wants me to be here with this small tiny team. After having some words with my dear husband, i decided to move on and join the former boss.

Unfortunately, there was a very serious thing happened last week which one of the senior in the team had to leave for another department. It was chaotic as we are shorthanded and my boss was not in a good condition. She was so sad and panic since past 2 weeks as the senior person is leaving the team and at the moment we won't be able to get a replacement.

On the other hand, me who wants to leave had to retract my decision as if i left at the same time, our team will be 'patah kaki'. I am so sad that i had to turn down the offer which i've been waiting for since he left the department to Motor division but maybe it is not my 'rezeki' to work with him.

Still thinking how should i tell him about this.................me is so stress now....aduiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!
