24/7

24/7/07 was the first time I posted my entry in this blog. I can’t believe I’ve been blogging for three years. How time really flies. Even though I’m not a hard core blogger who posted every single thing every day but at least my blog is still surviving. This make me think three years for Phd student using the thesis mode, they surely almost finish writing the thesis. If I compile my writing in this blog can it be converted to Phd thesis?.He3x

How I started blogging? Actually there was a course handled by the university to encourage lecturers to start writing and giving their opinions. Another objective is to improve the lecturers writing skills and the university believed one way was through blogging. I didn’t go to that blogging course instead I went to another course. A friend who attended that course came to my room and excitedly told me about blogging and she started to teach me how to create blog. So, here I am still blogging after 3 years learning it from kak Taherah.

I started out with my full name but later with the advice of my university’s blogger friends I became anonymously as Azuriy. Well...... I was not trying to be anonymous but it was due to the safety reasons that time especially from our students. The name Azuriy is not something unfamiliar to me because Zuriy was extensively used during my days in a boarding school. It was not a glamourous name far from being my nickname but we always used our five letters of our name to be embroided in our school uniforms. I still remembered our PE white t shirt, track bottom and track top too was sewn in red with five letters of my name. So, my teacher called me using that name during my PE. My bed also had been marked with a sticker written my name Zuriy. I still have that sticker until now. I didn’t understand why they put my full name but it was a girl’s school thingy. It didn’t last only during my school days but when I become a lecturer, the university gave my official email address using that five letter words also. So it seems zuriy is very synonym to me. But for my blog I added the first letter of my father’s name which was inspired when I was sitting for the international exam. I saw alphabet A infront of my name in the exam slip so that was how the name of Azuriy been created. Here I am after three years of blogging, writing about the history of my blog’s name.

The first time I started to blog, my blogger’s friends who read my blog are my university’s friends who attended the blogging course. They have their blogs too and were eagerly updating their blogs. I truly enjoy reading their blogs and they read mine too and sometimes gave their comments. After three years I found either their blogs are non existence or hidup segan mati tak mau. So, after three years at least I should be proud my blog is still exist and I’m persistently updating it even though it may be once a month. He3x

After three years I have posted 182 entries. It means on average I have posted about 5 entries in a month and about once a week.May be the first year of blogging I posted entry once a week but now it doesn't seem to be. The most visited entry was my writing on hajj a journey of the lifetime -my experience during the hajj. I hope those who read it may gain some benefits and inspired by reading it. Those rambling entries just ignore if you find it just a waste of time. If I've hurt anyone's feeling with my writing too I'm truly sorry.

One thing for sure I don't share everything in this blog. It is not an online diary. If it is a diary then my secrets will become public secrets. My family members read it too so karang teruk saya kena kutuk. He3x. This blog it just my random writings which I feel like to express or what I believe or experience. I never force myself to write and always I never looked back what I’ve written so if there was a lot of grammatical error and spellings, Pardon me and please just ignore it. I’m not good in writing anyway. I also don’t know whether I’ve improve my writing skills through blogging but who cares because my sv said writing a thesis is not like writing a blog. So blogging won’t give any big impact to my thesis writing but I think it just one way of keeping me to stay sane throughout my postgraduate years. So after three years I’m still surviving blogging. Wow…. What an achievement!!!. He3x and hopefully I can survive and persistently write in my Phd thesis too.

9 Deadly Words Used by Women

Find this is funny but sometimes it is true. he3x

1. Fine
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

2. Five minutes
If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. "Five minutes" is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

3. Nothing
This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with "nothing" usually end in "fine."

4. Go ahead
This is a dare, not permission. Don't do it!

5. Loud Sigh
This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to number 3 for the meaning of "nothing.")

6. That's Okay
This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

7. Thanks
If a woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here -- this is true, unless she says "Thanks a lot" -- that is pure sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say "you're welcome" -- that will bring on a "whatever").

8. Whatever
This is a woman's way of saying "F*^$ you!"

9. Don't worry about it, I got it
Another dangerous statement that refers to something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing herself. This will later result in a man asking, "What's wrong?" For the woman's response, refer to # 3.

I'm Not Sad, Not Even Angry But Just A Bit Confused

I brought some souvinears from Perth for my friends in Bilik Siswazah. Since there were not many friends coming to the room on that day I put the souvinears which were in the paper bag and placed it under my desk at my working station. It was not really expensive souvinears just small which people normally found and bought in Australia. I forgot about it and left it overnight under my desk without worrying anything. The next day I found the paper bag was empty. Nothing left. Few bottles of my mineral water were also gone. I'm not sad about the souvinears and told my friends it was not their rezeki to get it. But there are few things that make me thinking many times;

1. Who are really interested in those souvinears until took it all?. It was just cheap souvinears that cannot be sold either in Pasar malam or E bay. Or if they want to keep themselves it was not worth it either coz every souvinears were almost homogenous.

2. why do this person leave the paper bag, why don't just took it together with the paper bag because it will be troublesome to put in another bag? And definitely it was a lot to be carried without the paper bags.

3. Why do this person need to take my mineral water, there are a lot mineral water sold along the corridor and nobody knows whether you want to pay it or not. It is a self service based on trust. Why this person interested in my mineral water? Susah payah saya membawa botol2 mineral water to my working station.

Well... I'm not sad, not even angry. In fact I was laughing when I found the paper bag was empty and told my friends and sister sapelah yg nak ambik benda2 mcm ni. My friends made a few speculations about it as for me takpelah saya halalkan.

The Much Needed Break. Really?

For the couple of weeks I've been working hard to finish my work in order I will not be guilty leaving my commitment to be here;
