4th Day (15/04/2010)

In the morning I went to the headquater of UNHCR with brother Muhammad (Abang Mat) and Muhardi (Adi), arrived there around 9.15 a.m. The meeting was at 10 a.m, so we went to the cafe to take some breakfast. The condition of the UNHCR office is really out of my imagination, with an old-style building as it's main office plus the sub-offices made from containers. Little bit funny for such a world class organization I thought.

At 10 a.m, Abang Mat started to explain about the report of the Futsal Tournament to sister Alia, a UNHCR's staff. Adi and I just being the observers for the whole session but Adi managed to harmonize the session with some ideas while I was just sitting there listening to their discussion. Nothing to say during that moment unless to give some gestural feedback on certain parts of the discussion. I was also wondering to see the programme report was done by sister Mimi by interviewing Abang Mat on the whole things related to be included in the report not vice-versa. Perhaps this is how the UNHCR works or this will help sister Mimi to deliver the report to the board of UNHCR. It was very useful for me to know on how certain things work in another way around. Later on we went back to MA's office.

After Zuhur prayer, we accompanied Abang Mat to meet Papa Rock (Ramli Sarip) nearby the office. We were lucky to have the chance that others might not have especially my classmates who are also doing their practicum all around Malaysia in various companies and agencies.

Next step, we went to the book shop to take the books ordered by Abang Mat 2 days before. Once we finished there, we then went to Hasyimiah and had the chance to be involved in the Bahasa Melayu class for the Rohingya. They are really friendly eventhough the age gap between us is obviously can be detected. That was not a problem for us. We managed to share the learning moment together with some jokes made by almost everbody.

We called the day at 7 p.m but only returned to IIUM after performing Maghrib prayer there.
