All smiles!
I have been through a lot of phases in my life, and I dare to say the greatest would be my Masters years. Great people, great place! If I were given chance, I'd love to relive that moment over and over again. I am married to a Sabahan, that was close....
Finally my transfer to Kota Kinabalu is approved! I get to reside in Kota Kinabalu. Alhamdulillah...
Alhamdulillah to the Almighty, for he has answered my very prayer and I accept them humbly with gratefulness, I couldn't asked for more. I know things like this don't happen everyday. Seriously I didn't expect it to be as soon as this but who am I to question the rezeki? I believe it's my sweet pea's.
But nothing comes easy right. Nothing beautiful is created without struggle. I really WORKED HARD pertaining this matter. Honestly I never strived so hard for anyhting ever in my life than this one. For those who know me well, will expect me to go with the flow and complacent for whatever things that given to me, the most is I will try to adapt, BUT NOT THIS ONE. The moment I was placed in Putrajaya, that was the moment I began my fight. From simple emails, to letters to phone calls, I did it all. You want mobility? Ok, I remember, I was in the peak of my nausea & fragile state of pregnancy, I WALKED to JPA, I remember I had to pause for oxygen at the lobby before I proceed to the floor, only to be told that my emails are inappropriate for transfer application. I burst into tears when the officer said I might have to wait for at least one year (or more) for relocation.... But at the same time (while offering my tissues) he promised me that he tried his best to speed things up for me.
I didn't stop there, I listened to LOTS of rumors and facts about relocation, of which I myself couldn't verify; some said pregnancy is the strongest reason, you'll definitely get it, others said, you are still very new, you'll only be entertained after 3 years, post confirmation and the rest said are you kidding? Who are you to be entertained, there are more still in the waiting list and they have applied for years...................
I become a cyborg, I didn't buy any of those, I resumed to fight for my relocation. This is the chronology:-
- I wrote a letter to my department to be released and it got approved.
- I keep shooting emails to JPA for updates and status.
- Remember the guy who offered me tissue? He got transferred to SPRM, there goes his promisesss...
- I spent one whole day to identify any vacancies for my scheme in all ministries and their agencies and departments in Kota Kinabalu.
- I sent emails to all departments and agencies in Kota Kinabalu, and I got some replies.
- I got one reply from one guy in INTAN Sabah, he called me straightaway after several emails. Apparently, he had applied for transfer to Kuching for the last 4 years but to no avail because he has no one to replace his position. In INTAN, he does training and development for government officers, God's will, they are looking for someone who has background in teaching and Human Resources for the replacement. I got both. It must be my rezeki that I found this guy because anything right after that, he got it done for me.
- All I know is , I received my letter on the 11.11.11 of my posting order. And yes I owe him so very much.
- In the midst of this excitement, deep inside, there's still a part of me in my current place. KSM is a superb place so far, everyone is so warm and despite the stacked workloads, it's the most peaceful and positive working place I have ever experienced.
Finally I can lay all my worry to rest, I am ready to go through my pregnancy at the certainty,at the same time a working wife. After 6 years of LDR, I couldn't afford another LDM (long distance marriage) I hope this is the beginning of all good things in my life. Hats off to those who wait for years!
P/S: Like in my previous post, I am supposed to report duty in KK on the 21st of November but due to keperluan tugas dan kepentingan perkhidmatan, I was given an extension until 29th Nov, so, see you KK!
But of course, the cherry on top gotta be ze reunion with my husband! :)
ALHAMDULILLAH SYUKUR....
