Dulu2, ada kan segment kat RTM with this title? Ada lagi ke sekarang ni?

Ok… where do I start…

Ceritanya… I attended a course the whole week last week. It was a course I’ve been looking forward to attending since.. well.. since I was transferred to the company’s HQ last year. Biasalah, cost cutting measures punya pasal, training was pushed down to the bottom of the list.

It was a 5-day course with the last day being allocated for the exam. It’s my very first professional certification, so needless to say, I was a nervous wreck come Friday morning. It didn’t help that I was down with fever the whole week too.

The 4 days flew quickly and safe to say, I enjoyed myself every single day. The topic was interesting, the trainers were equally interesting. I didn’t feel sleepy at all during any of the class. Soon Friday came and it was time for the exam.

Boy… was the exam tough! I expected it to be somewhat challenging of course, but did not expect it to be THAT tough. The passing mark is 75%. We were told that to get that, we have to answer 111 questions correctly out of 148 questions in 3.5 hours given. Before the exam, I told myself that 37 questions for me to get wrong should be a luxury, but at the end of the exam time, I honestly didn’t feel the same anymore. I kept wondering whether I had really understood to the whole concept of the subject, or at least enough not be tricked by the seemingly tricky questions.

Dah lama tak baca buku2 ilmiah.

We were told that the results will be out in 7 (U.S) working days. The answet sheets were couriered directly to US to be checked, so the results will hence come from the US HQ.

So, this was why I’ve been on gloomy clouds for the last 7 days. Kept wondering what if I fail? Have to fork out RM500 just to re-sit for the exam! My boss had just passed this exam 3 months ago, what excuse should I give him if I fail? Demam? Aduh, so lame!

This morning, after 2 weeks of being lazy… (last week sebab ada course tu, this week..  hmm.. konon2 demam lagi), I woke up at 5am to cook. Bought ‘paru’ last night during pasar malam and dah mintak Bibik siap2 rebuskan, so plannya was to cook paru masak kicap – anak2 and my fav. :). Bangga dengan diri sendiri sebab dapat melawan kemalasan pagi ni. :D

Bila dah siap2 masak at 5.45.. on my way up to mandi2 and get ready to work.. baru perasan that I left my phone downstairs last night. So, took the phone up with me. Sampai je kat bilik, Adreena pulak nangis nak susu. Dia mmg ada sensor, budak ni. Tahu tahuuuu je.

While nursing Adreena, checked my phone.. and saw an email with a subject: DRI Exam Results. Alamak!!! Terus sakit perut!

The email says:

Dear Ainil  Sufreena,

Attached you will find your DRI exam results from the qualifying exam you took in Malaysia on 12/3/2010.

The attachment was a pdf file. Try2 bukak, tak boleh pulak. Alaaaaaaaaaaaa….. Mcm mana ni? Cannot tahan dah suspense ni. Ish. Think? Think!

Adreena berhenti menyusu je, berdesup lari kat home PC. Memang sakit perut masa tu! Time ni laaaa rasa PC ni slow nye bukan main. Ish ish…

Bukak the attachment….

Fuh!!!!!!! Tak tauuuu la macam mana nak terangkan betapa legaaaaaaaaa nya perasaan saya masa ni. Alhamdulillah.

Lepas tu terus lari pegi toilet. Kan dah kata, sakit perut! Hehe

Syukur Ya Allah.

Agak2 boleh bayangkan tak betapa lebarnya senyuman saya pagi ni? Sejukkkkk je hati rasa… Alhamdulillah.

Pencil case saya yang selalunya duduk diam diammmm dalam drawer di ofis. Bila saya bawa ke tempat kursus saya, baru lah saya perasan ada pulak saya selitkan badge sekolah saya di situ. Lepas tu terfikir, mungkin kah pencil case ni saya guna dari zaman pre-SPM saya? Wah…. tak sangka cermat juga saya ni rupanya. Saya ambil SPM tahun 1995.. maksudnya  dah 15 tahun lepas!

(If my brother Aidil is reading this post, I can assure you at this point he will stand straight and start singing my school song! Hahahaha. No kidding. Anything at all that reminds him of my school will get him singing the song.. dari duluuuuu sampai lah skrg! Koooooolejjjjj Tunku Kurshiaaaaahhhhhhhhh… hahaha)
