Mira: aggressive?


Me =) Posted by Hello

Hmm.. Is this true? Am I the aggressive type? Hahhaha.. That is so funny.

In sem4, we all learned English Communication Strategies and people are divided into three categories; The Aggressive type, The Assertive type and the Submissive type. So which is which? hehe.. truthfully, Ju is the aggressive one, I'm the assertive one and Fad was always the submissive one. A combination of friends with three different personalities. Yet, we are still the best of friends =).

Why am I bringing up this issue anyway? Hahha.. well, becoz the other day Kak Dayah said something like "padanlah ayah kata mira ni aggressive orangnya". I was so shocked. Ayah said I'm aggressive? hahahahha..

When I asked mak about this, she said "maksudnye you have a mind of your own.." OooOooOoo.. so that was what ayah meant.. I have a mind of my own. If so, then ayah is very true.

I do have a mind of my own. And hardly anyone can change that except me. =)

Assertive. That's the right use of word. I don't demand for something, I ask politely but with a little force. hehe.. that's my way. When I was the Editor in Chief of the UNIKL IIM Student Bulletin, I never demanded people's work on time, I convey it to them in a sweet yet effective way ;).. wanna learn how? hehe.. come ask me urself..

Anyhow.. this is who I am.

Amirah, The Princess of her own Realm =)

The right pronounciation..

Ok, to get things staight, my nick name is pronounced "mira" however the spelling may be. hahaha.. I might be spelling it in a different way, or should I say; I spell it "myra" but the pronounciation is still the typical mira. =)

I'd rather be called with a name that has meaning. And mira does have a meaning u know. Shocked? hahaha, it truely does.

But I have always been the person with lots of nicknames. During my school days, a few of my classmates called me "amie" others would call me "mie". The juniours would call me "kakmie" but never mira. But when I went to study in UNIKL, they all called me mira. Some of the boys called me mirah. Weird aint it?

Pn Cordelia from UNIKL calls me myra. I have no idea why. Sometimes Ms Put calls me that too. Its cute and unique, I know.. =)

My siblings call me kakngah but my parents call me Amirah.

So you can imagine how confusing it is when I adress myself to these people. Kejap mira, kejap Amirah, kejap kakngah.. hahaha..

I just cant imagine how it'd be like if they were all gathered under one building. Fuh!

But hey, don't get me wrong.. I'm not complaining. You can call me all of the above. Be my guest =)

Amused.. =)

I just got back from a one day trip to KL last nite. Had a wonderful time. As always Alhamdulillah =)

Yesterday was great. Since all the lecturers had to work as preparations for the ISO inspection nextweek, I was granted the pleasure of seeing everyone of them. They we're busy, mind you. With the whole staff room being in a hectic condition. I've never seen IIM that way before. All messy and hectic. ahahha.. When I went into the staffroom, everyone was surprised to see me. Of course la, it was a saturday and I was supposed to be in JB. Ehehhe, I loved Ms Adott's reaction.. "Eh, miraaaaaaaaa.." =)

The reason I came to IIM for the short visit was to see Ms Put. I havent seen her for such a long time, and I missed her hugs. I already knew there was an ALUMNI gathering that day, but I already told everyone I wasnt coming. But surprise, surprise.. there I was, out of the blue. Anyway, for Ms Put's sake, I'd do anything. =)

I just felt briliant that day. A wonderful step to a brighter future. I also had the pleasure of seeing my group of young SRC. Never thought they'd be there. I also found out that, diorg baru je sebut2 my name. Terharunya.. People do remember me.

Hmm.. who did I get to see yesterday, lets see.. Ms Put, Kakyong, Ms Sam, Ms Adott, Ms Gibb, Pn Yati, Ms Shima, Pn Fad, Pn Sayani, Pn Ai, Pn Faridah, Pn Su..etc, AbgZul, Kak Zan, Kak Tun, Kak Ijan, En Kasman. KakPut, KakDiela, Kak Has, Abg Eddy, Kak Farhana (by the way, she's taller than me, can u imagine that?), Kak Zai, Kirien, Fai, Syafiq, Iwan, Tommy, Megat, Izani, Nana. Did I forget anyone? That's all the people I know la, the others are just seniours and super++ seniours that I dont know. Ade yang bawak anak2 lagi. Ehehe.. I also got the chance to hold this really cute baby.. YaAllah, comel sgt.

I didnt actually attend the gathering, just stopped by to help out with a few things. It was still fun. Pity I had to go home so soon. Had a real talk with my juniours. Seems like they're having trouble. Hmm.. Hope they'll learn from their mistakes. Just give me a call if you need any advice okey? =) InsyaAllah I'll always be there for you.

Yesterday was great. Right now I feel inspired, briliant and just amused. Thank you everyone for making me feel so welcome. Love ya all to bits. Going to start missing everyone all over again.. sob..sob.. =)
