Tomorrow should be better than today

When I was little, when BM and BI subjects have this particular part where you have to write essays, I realised that I hate writing; because I was and still not good at it. My favourite BM teacher during primary, Cikgu Osman always told us to read more books and articles in the newspaper in order to write better. Trust me, I did, but my writings were always the the dull, boring one. Even my personal jurnal are boring.

After PMR, I decided to choose something to do with science that requires no essay or paper writings in my job later on plus, I'm an introvert, I dislike having myself in a large crowd. I took Food Science and Nutrition, and yay, everything was so straight forward. Tak perlu ayat bunga2 cinta. Tesis pun semua facts and theories. The work is in the lab most of the time, wearing labcoat, surrounded with chemicals and high-tech machine.. That's so me :)

And then...........

Almost 4 years ago, I chose what I'm doing now. Yang pada ketika itu, saya berada di persimpangan, ke kiri atau ke kanan dan saya pilih ini. Tiap hari tulis surat, buat paper dan adakalanya kena buat paper JM. Dapat pula bos dari bhg kabinet. Maka draf surat/paper saya semestinya asyik ade bunga2 cinta kaler merah.

And it was so hard for me to finish up my PPK paper. Last buat tulisan ilmiah ni mase DPA kot.

This can't go on forever. This work I'm doing now, do require writing skills, papers, reports, letters etc..

And in order to write better, I need to have facts and knowledge too. Tak boleh tulis kosong je. Kerje ini bukan macam buat kerja lab, masuk sample, ade result. Result pula yang sukar/tak boleh disangkal. Siapa nak bantah, pergi bantah orang yang cipta analyser tu. Kalau result salah, sama ada buat salah or alat rosak or alat tak calibrate betol. (oh rindunya perkataan calibrate :). Sekali run sample, bukan run sekali, paling kurang 3 kali. Jadi, peluang untuk salah sebab diri buat salah tu tipis.

Tapi, apa2 kerja pun ada dugaan dan cabarannya. Kawan saya Food Technologist kat Penang kate, "Boring ar keje, asyik run sample, pastu setahun mesti kena pergi kursus luar negara 3-4 kali setahun belajar teknologi baru. "Boring" gila." Chis, saja nak buat aku jeles.

Holding on to Wan's favourite quote, "regrets bring you nowhere, it won't change the past. So do something to make the present a much better place to live"

Baiklah.. Esok perlu lebih baik dari hari ini..
