Generasi Baru

Jabatan Kimia sangat berbesar hati menerima kehadiran generasi pelapis kepada sebahagian besar anak-anak kita yang kini telah meningkat dewasa. Moga majlis-majlis di peringkat jabatan pada masa akan datang bakal dimeriahkan kembali dengan tangisan, rengekan, usikan serta larian-larian mereka :)

Tahniah diucapkan kepada Dr. Joazaizulfazli, Dr. Shajarahtunnur  dan Pn. Siti Norwahani. Moga dikurniakan anak yang soleh/solehah yang dapat mendoakan kebahagian ibu bapa mereka.

Budi dan Jasa Tetap Di Kenang

Selamat tinggal suara-suara ceria,
Dewan kuliah dan anjung kimia,
Bilik kelas dan pelajar-pelajar keletah,
Pejabat tugas dan pembantu ikhlas,
Bilik pensyarah dan timbunan buku,
Bilik aktiviti tempat mesra terjalin.

Selamat tinggal seribu kerenah,
Datang dan pergi pelbagai wajah,
Bercampur gembira bersisip gundah,
Bergema didikan beralas madah,
Selamat tinggal universiti, jabatan dan sebuah sekolah!

Selamat datang persaraan,
Kerana segalanya hanya kesementaraan,
Melengkapi perjalanan,
Sebuah kehidupan!

30 Ogos dan 1 September 2010

Tarikh 30 Ogos dan 1 September 2010 merupakan hari bersejarah kepada dua orang staf Jabatan Kimia.

Pada 30 Ogos 2010, Jabatan mengalukan kedatangan tutor baru, En Mohd Shafiq Elias (ex SSA student) ke Jabatan Kimia. Tugas pertama beliau ialah untuk berjumpa setiap pensyarah Jabatan Kimia untuk berkenalan dan ditemubual serta mendapatkan tandatangan pensyarah....maaf saya tidak kesempatan untuk mengambil gambar beliau.

Tahniah diucapkan dan selamat berkhidmat.

Pada 1 September 2010 pula merupakan hari bekerja terakhir bagi Puan Norsiah Ismail (bekas Head Girl Kolej Tunku Kurshiah 1974) yang telah pun mula bersara secara rasmi dari perkhidmatan di UTM. Kami yakin walaupun sudah bersara, kami di sini akan sentiasa memerlukan bantuan dan khidmat nasihat beliau dan inshaAllah akan terus bersama kita di masa-masa hadapan. Tahniah juga kepada Khalida, anak Puan Norsiah yang akan berangkat ke Dublin pada 7 September ini untuk meneruskan pelajarannya di bidang perubatan. Sama-sama kita doakan kejayaan kepada Khalida.

Majlis ini disaksikan oleh Dekan FS dan staf-staf akademik yang tak bercuti dan tidak pergi ke Perlis. Ada orang tu menembak semut dirumahnya. Pun tak datang jugak. Tak mengapa la. Sate dah abis pun!!!

Sekian sahaja berita tak rasmi dari bilik aktiviti.

Mengambil cuti menembak semut
semut mati menghurung tulang
Hari ini KJK baru kita sambut
semoga Jabatan Kimia berjaya dijulang!

Siapa yang bercuti sila balas pantun ni.
