Cerita ceriti hari ni

About the things today, I managed to do at least one good thing: preparing & distributing goodies (small tit-bits) to bribe the students in the class :) Hey it’s not bribe actually! I consider it as a token of appreciation for their effort & time they spent on answering the questionnaire. So its just representing a THANK YOU from me. That is all. Whether they do deserve it or not, that’s a different story! Well, at least I can see some happy faces today :-)

The only thing that makes me feel so pissed of was the incident of this one guy (actually the demonstrator) of the course when he said something which I thought quite rude. He said something like this “You;re doing PhD rite? I thought that you’re a PhD student, so I supposed you should know how to solve it. Then, why do you call me?” He said that to me when I called and asked him to give some helps to a student who was debugging his code. Well, apparently I was very surprised with his statement, but I managed to control myself. So I was not yelling back at him as that was not my style or my way of answering when someone is acting very rude to me. I wish I could say something like this: “It’s not that I don’t know how to solve it, it’s because you’re paid to do it, so it is your job! You’re rite, of course I am much smarter than you that’s why I am here doing my PhD and I didn’t wasting my time doing unnecessary thing!”. Haha.. belagak sungguh! But fair enough, aye? Well, that’s simply isn’t me. I was actually felt ashamed at that time because I noticed few students were looking at us when he said that to me. Well, I have to take care of my pride too, so I nicely answered him back saying that actually I was not into the question from the beginning, and as a course demonstrator he should know better (I was actually busy on something else so I was not ready to spend time to debug codes for a student who is on his last-minute-doing assignment!). Back to the story, of course as a normal human being, don’t you feel like giving him some “penyepak” on his face or in malay we said something like this “ish nak kena penampar apa budak nih....!” hahaa… no, of course I’m not going to do that. I truly don’t blame him for his weaknesses and his intolerance or impoliteness when communicating to other people. Well, I believe he doesn’t really understand what doing PhD is all about. Some people are so naïve and think straight that for instance if you are a PhD student in CS then you must be really damn good in programming. Well, it is not necessarily be the case. It depends on the area of research that you do. Ah there are a few more stories, but I guess cukuplah utk hari ini.. dah malam dah ni..nak kena tido da…

Morale of the story: “kalau dah memang tu keje ko, buat aje lah.. toksah nak byk songeh”.
