Aarrgghh!!!

Here i am... at the office still.. i don't feel good... aching all over... i think i'm going to get a fever... you can only push yourself so far before the body will protest... Apalagi ngko yang memang sakit tapi tak take care of urself..!

Benci laa HQ ni... ntah apa-apa yg nak dibuatnyer... nak dapat 5star, soh orang buat lapuran online bla bla bla... Dorang tak realise ke keying-in data tu makan lebih banyak masa dari menulis....???

Technology, in this case IT does not make things easier.... it takes up more time, more energy.. time and energy better spent actually minuting files and writing reports...

Tak larat seh.....

Lost in Translation




I finally did it..!! went and attended the translation course in ITNM. It reinforced my fondness of the subject. I would really like to do translation work.. well part-time for now.. just to maintain and improve the skill. Who knows, i may be able to do it full time in the near future.. freelancing...working from home... that would be great.. Doing what u like and getting paid for it..!

Met some nice people on the course. Sat with a doctor who was sent by his boss and he is required to come up with medical terminologies later.. Nice chap. A datin who was also a golfer (a good one too, i heard) and her son who went MIA after the 1st week. There was a meeting of a variety of backgrounds and specialities, we even had a young lady and man with Arab language and literature in the group. All in all, a satisfying experience and something i hope to continue soon with real work...!

Updates:
Well.. i've passed the exam...!! Not cemerlang, but only kepujian la... but alhamdulillah... i actually scored not in legal translation but in mass comm..! Maybe i should be a journalist instead.. haha..
