On that Thursday morning, I was kinda glum a little bit. What wif the tiredness of being the spokesperson the day before, and I was working alone at my desk, I cudn’t hope better than to really have an excuse to get out at that very moment for more lie in, seriously. Suddenly,
(moto’s message tune)
Huh! It better be good. I really hated people messaging or calling thru my hand phone during office hour if it’s not deadly important (now I really understand how my parents felt).
It was my middle brother
‘Assalamu‘alaikum. I’m officially within the mechatronics department.
Alhamdulillah’
I was over the moon. My puffy eyes suddenly wide opened and I became strangely fresh. No more sleepy head or gloomy face.
‘Wslm warahmatullah. This is my first good news for today. Alhamdulillah. Let mak and ayah know straightaway. I hope you’ll do better and be much happier wif your new course ya’
Honestly, when I grad months ago, I was so determined to go for what I aimed years ago. Be an engineer, join oil and gas company and be an expertise in that field. But then, not all our plan went smoothly as we wish don’t they? So do mine. I ended up doing the least favourite thing in my electrical world, which is ‘playing’ wif electronics (I haven’t register wif BEM yet..huhu). I’m not lying by telling you that I was highly devastated that time. Because, I am the one and only in the family furthering and getting involve in engineering field. Most of my cousins are teachers, ustaz and lecturers, and they were greatly prized by my whole family. Me, being an engineering student, perempuan pulak tu.. haiihhh..sapelah kita ni kan? No one bother to understand. But that make me determinedly want to prove that I can.

Akira Sky and Aihara Miki (My two Mechatronics people)
As I was so sure, none of my siblings will follow my lead, I quietly persuaded my closest cousin (now studying mechatronics at UTM KL) to take engineering too. She was the only one who robot geek like me (my middle brother too actually). Cuba la korang fikir, punya tahyulnya kami berdua ini, sampai time pagi raya Aidilfitri pun masih boleh get together and discuss about PIC programming for line follower (she was one of the programmer for her school’s robotic team). Until one of our ‘ammi (uncle) teased us for talking about something which none can understand a thing.
When my middle brother got his letter to further at JMTI, I was so thankful. But I am much happier now, because he finally in that department (he was in Computer Engineering before, but he change his course after a long discussion wif me..eheheheh). I was there before, even though I was majoring in Control System, still it was part of robotic department. My younger sister is furthering in Material Engineering (she had to endure a week of the same ‘irritating’ lecture from my father, which I had also received when I first got my letter from my college years ago). What wif my MAHA’s spirit last week, I think I wud consider about my aim again. I already had my apprentices. Maybe afterwards I never go back to my ambition. I already am fallin in this field, maybe I just get on wif what I do now.
You know what? I think I do sound quite like my father. People must follow my lead. People must be like what I want them to be.. huuuu.. Now that scary.. I wish all the best to my brothers and sisters. To my two niece and nephew who are furthering in medics, be a good doctors ya? For the rest of you guys, be something else. We had enuf engineers and doctors. Tanah kebun, dusun dan sawah bendang arwah tokwan yang berelung-relung itu, siapa pula yang nak usahakan kalau semua nak kerja makan gaji? Siapa nak jawab tu?
Can’t wait to be home next weekend.
