Welcoming Libyan Ambassador To Malaysia Visit University Library - Oct 19, 2011

Just a small contribution made by me to my beloved University Library. Representing my department to welcome the Ambassador of Libya to Malaysia, His Excellency Dr. Bubaker A.Al-Mansori. He also accompanied by his special assistant, Mr.Esaam S.Gheblawi. The objective of the visit is to foster closer relationship between UMTECH and Libyan Embassy and at the same time explore possibilities of collaboration.

Did you know how I felt during the meeting with His Excellency? Nerve wracking, heart pumping and the same time having adrenaline rush. Imagine yourself sitting with all the Deans, Directors and Vice Chancellor in the same room. While me, just representing my boss who could make it on that particular day (he got another meeting) - actually he appointed my senior to attend this meeting, but she could not make it due to personal reason. I almost chicken out due to the fact that all the attendees are Professors and Doctors, plus Datuk.... keciknya aku.

During the introduction of the attendees, Prof. Dato’ Dr. Mohamed Mahyuddin Mohd. Dahan, our Vice Chancellor terkebil-kebil mata when his turn to introduce me. He couldn't recognise me and determine from which department I represented. Suddenly, one of attendees said, "Jimpele Ambau from the University Library" "ohh... ya from the University Library", Dato echoed En Syukri answer. Thanks En Syukri, Head of Registrar.

I sat silently and maintained my poise and grin on my face, while VC took his liberty to give his speeches and briefing about our institution.

Later, I conducted a tour and briefly explained on the facilities and services that University Library provided for our users. I also took my chances to share my experiences in serving Libyan students. The major obstacle in serving them is communication. Most of them unable to converse in English. I hope the session serve me justice!

Can you spot me on the picture?

Sudah menjadi tradisi bagi University Library, untuk mengadakan Majlis Hari Raya sempena bulan Syawal. Cuma kali ni, University Library tidak lagi membuka pintu untuk department-department lain. Biarlah kami bermaharajalela dengan kelazatan makanan. (Department lain pun tak pernah jemput kami bila ada 'rumah terbuka', cuma kami sahaja yang sibuk menjemput orang. Kononnya nak merapatkan ukhwahlah. Tahun ni University Library buat rumah tertutup. Unit masing-masing membawa juadah yang dimasakan yang disediakan dengan kehebatan air tangan chef-chet terkemuka. Unit aku menyediakan air. Aku dengan rela hati belajar resepi baru dari Pn Kamariah. Maka terciptalah minuman yang digelar Mock Tail, gabungan air soda, susu segar perasa strawberry, buah-buahan dalam tin, susu sejat, air gula, sumi dan ais. Terkesima semua menikmati air yang sangat sedap ni. Tengok-tengoklah gambar-gambar berikut. Meriahnya Sedapkan? Hamper yang disumbangkan oleh suppliers Nie gambar dengan bos Gambar keluar

PRAY FOR THE HEALING WATERS

Healing Waters - rivers of living water God Does Not Discriminate, He Wants All to Be Healed This Bible Study comes from Matthew 9:35. Notice that it says that Jesus went to all the towns and villages. This is an example of how God wants everyone to hear the Word. God does not discriminate. He does not want us too either. The next thing to notice is that Jesus was not thrown out of their synagogues. He came to re-educate these people. He wanted to change their way of thinking. They obviously didn't have a problem with this since it doesn't say that He was thrown out. He wanted the people to know about the kingdom of God. He wanted them to realize that He didn't come to this earth to establish a government at that time. They thought that He did. They thought that He was going to save them from the oppression of the government. He wanted to re-educate them on this thinking. He wanted them to understand prophecy. He was there to save their souls. Something that I want you to
