Hello my dearest bloggers 
How are you guys doing? Thank you for being patient and do apologise for not updating my blog recently. I was away for a counseling conference which was held in the Palace of Golden Horses, KL. I was quite disappointed because I couldn’t get online there. The reason was if I wanted to access internet, I had to pay. I didnt want to pay extra after I paid RM500 for 2 nights! Long story about my hotel room reservation. Anyway, don’t want to think about it.
Remember I told you about the hotel at Batu Feringgi, Penang? That one was better. Even I didn’t pay any single cent for the internet connection. lol. *OK Emma, stop it!* lol.
I came back this evening and got home around 6.30. My flight was delayed. Do you want to know why? lol. They changed the plane’s tyres. lol. So was delayed for about 30 min or so. Touched down Kuching at 5.30. I was too exhausted and fell asleep (as usual). Those who know me, I am the person who loves to sleep on the plane! lol.
Before landed, I ordered a cup of Ipoh Town White Coffee. Interesting coffee! Since I came back from London, I saw many Ipoh Town White Coffee shops in Kuching. I was curious. Even at the airport, the shop is there. So I tried the coffee. It was just normal coffee with milk! lol. Not too bad. One day, I want to go to the coffee shop and try. The taxi driver told me that they serve good coffee with reasonable price. I think I became so hyperactive as I drank too much coffee. I needed to stay up and stayed warm. So I drank many cups of coffee! Now, I feel unwell- headache because too much caffeine. hehehe… I need to drink water. Well, I drank many bottles of water as well. I think because of the weather as well.
Anyway, the conference was beneficial to me. Really! The themes, the keynote speakers, the research papers and the workshops were awesome! Congratulations to the organizer- Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) esp to Dr Ahmad Jazimin Jusoh. He’s a good friend and peer counselor to me. He gives me advises continuously. When I had problem in London, he was one of my friends who supported me, even till now. He was the one who invited me to attend the conference. At that time, I was still in London and wasn’t sure where was I at that time. He invited me to present my paper. Praise to God, though it was last minute. I told Dr Jazimin that I’d like to come and present a paper. He really helped me a lot. I invited him personally to my presentation. I knew he was busy but he came to support me. I felt so honored of his presence. Even he came with his colleagues and for me, they are one of the counselling experts in Malaysia. So, now you would understand why I was so honored of their presence. Thank you Drs.
By the way, Dr Ahmad Jazimin is an expert of reality therapy (RT) in Malaysia. So, I really recommend you if you are interested in studying RT or believe that RT can help you in solving your problem, I highly recommend you
Met counselling experts in Malaysia and was with them in this week really motivated me to not give up. I want to be like them. I want to be specialised and expert in my own field. I hope this time my phd sailing will be smooth. I know I will face different set of obstacles, but I hope I can and have good and responsible supervisor(s) to supervise me. I want to learn God’s knowledge from ‘the right’ teacher. I don’t want a teacher who will impose bad attitudes to me. Because sooner or later, I will be a bad person to others. No, I don’t want to be like that.
Right, this is a long blog, isn’t it? Boring? Please..don’t… stay with me. I have so many stories to tell.
Ok ok..one ‘bedtime’ story before I sign out. lol. 
One person whom I really wanted to see is Ah Hock. 
He’s a counselor at hospital (mmm…don’t want to tell you which hospital). hehehe.. I met him when I did my students’ supervision. Till now, we still keep in touch. For me, he’s really positive and energetic. We ‘catch-up’ last night over the dinner. He was shocked with my ‘life story’ in England. I told him I needed his help to ‘erase’ my irrational and negative thoughts in my head! He advised me to take a break. I told him I cannot take a break. I told him my reasons. He nodded. I told Ah Hock that I still have this phobia in writing, public speaking in English. hua hua hua… He said he will try to help me. Oh..it was really good to meet other counselors and yet my friends around Malaysia. :) xoxo. Oh by the way, Ah Hock is an expert in art therapy and clinical counselling. So guys, if you need his expertise, go to him. I really recommend you too!
Oh, I have to tell this story – I MET MY FORMER STUDENTS. THEY ARE NOW SO SUCCESSFUL IN THEIR CAREER! Praise to God! I asked them to call me by my name because we are peers in counseling field. I am so proud of them and really grateful. We (Lecturers) really did a very outstanding job. I hope all of our former students will be successful in their own expertise and be responsible in what they are doing. The reason I said we did an outstanding job because I got recognition from other universities, counsellors and agencies and they told me that “YOUR FORMER STUDENTS ARE REALLY GOOD IN THEIR JOB.” Most of our graduates work in counseling-related field. So guys, keep it up!
Another story…ok ok ..the last one lol. I met my old friend at the conference!!! Old friend means from my friend from primary school!!!! When Remy came to me, oh my gosh..I hugged her and I was so happy. She’s a counsellor at the Education Department and the head of department in Samarahan. *Remy, correct me if I am wrong?*
MasyaAllah- I was so happy. I think this is one of the hikmahs from my London decision.
Oh oh oh…. this is the last one …. I met Auntie Zuraidah and Najidah!!!! I really wanted to see auntie and Najidah. My goodness…Najidah picked me up at the airport on Monday night and straight to Port Dickson (PD), Negeri Sembilan. We didn’t expect that we would overnight at auntie’s apartment in PD. We celebrated auntie’s birthday. We bought 3 slices of different cake and pizza. Auntie loves pizza so much. Oh, I was so grateful. Thank you Najidah. Without you, I won’t be able to see auntie. Auntie, love you xoxox..
mmm…I think you don’t want to hear my presentation story, do you? lol. I think I’ll tell tomorrow, if I remember. But a hint..I was so clumsy. lol. Time was limited- just 10 min but I was exceeded the time. hehehe..Well, not my fault Before the parallel session, there was a workshop. They took longer. So, that was why. Then I asked around and apologised. But they said they understood. Praise to God, they liked my presentation. Alhamdullilah Oh well..I just told you about my presentation story. hahaha…. Got you!!!
Ok then…I’ll let you go this time. hahahhaha…. Ehem..ehem… (in whispering) – If nothing happen, I will go to Padang, Indonesia at the end of this month. To be a volunteer to help the earthquake victims for a week. Thanks Ah Hock for recommended me to Insaf Malaysia. I am so excited about this. I hope everything goes fine. Amin
Of course, I am still waiting anxiously about my phd application. I hope the graduate school will call me for an interview next week and hope I can enrol to UPM next month. Remember I told you I need to ‘erase’ my phobias, may be this volunteering work will motivate me to be more confident and boost my self-esteem back to ME! Amin.
OK OK…I am tired already. hahahah…. I am sure you don’t want more stories
Thank you for your time and sleep dreams. hahahha…. Sorry for keeping you to read on and on and on like this. lol. You must asking yourself – “When the hell Emma is going to stop?” I am stopping…lol..almost there
Good night. Love always ~ Emma xx.
p.s: Please pray for me and support me xoxoxo.
