Eid Mubarak

Rasanya masih belum terlambat utk mengucapkan Selamat hari raya Aidil fitri tuk semua & maaf zahir batin.

Tahun ini, seperti biasa ikut giliran, kami meraikan raya pertama di Keluang, Johor dimana raya ketiga barulah balik ke Kb. Ramadhan lalu, Akid berjaya berpuasa selama 29 hari. Kerna tak tahan dugaan, dia dgn tanpa rasa bersalah telah membuka puasa pada hari kedua berpuasa.... sabar jer lah... :p

Makanan wajib hari raya di rmh mertua...

Kelongsong ketupat ni kami anyam sendiri tau...;)

Away day in Damai Laut

I've just got back from Damai Laut in Lumut, a 4hr journey via road. Alhamdulillah, it was a smooth journey by Kopetro coach, back and forth. There were actually 2 coaches, each departed from either KLCC or Dayabumi. The main agenda to Damai Laut was for the initiative away day and we were there for 3 days starting from Wednesday. It was merely for business, basically no time for leisure, spa, sauna, gym, etc and let alone sightseeing / shopping. The meeting started from morning till late night each day. For night session, it started after solat sunat terawih at 9.30pm... hmm sounds workaholic huh, but yes indeed we were... everybody was engrossed with the deliverable tasks for the challenge sessions prior for SC presentation. If talking about exhausted, though it was not a big issue, I guess most of us could feel that, moreover we were fasting... It might be due to the hikmah of fasting in this blessing month of Ramadhan, most of us seemed to possess a lot of patience. Hopefully, our contribution for this project will be considered as part of our ibadah & it will be a part of our legacy for the next gen., insyallah.

Ahlan wa sahlan, the barakah month of Ramadhan...

Alhmadulillah, masih dipanjangkan umur oleh Allah SWT & dapat bertemu lagi dgn Ramadhan, bulan penuh keberkatan pada tahun ini. Semoga mendapat keampunanNya ke atas dosa2, yg sengaja atau tidak disengajakan, yg besar atau yg kecil, yg lepas atau yg sedang dilakukan. Dipohon agar sentiasa mendapat rahmat kasih sayang & keberkatanNYA. Sama2lah kita berdoa agar diberikan kekuatan utk mengerjakan suruhanNYA & menghindari segala laranganNYA.

After 18 years

Guess what, I finally met my long lost fren of 18 yrs eversince we parted after form 5 in 1990. During that time, Mc Za & I (her glamor name among frens & I was known as Mc Pi) were in the same dorm and more, we were 'bedmate'. It was actually a double decker bed, which my bed was on top of hers.

Yesterday, I had a chance to invite her to my house. Since we didn't hear from each other for ages, so there was a lot of things to catch up about each other. While having my home-made spaghetti and bread pudding, we exchanged stories about us & others that came across our mind, hehehe. Part mengilai sakan tu tak dapet nak elak... Tambah2 dgn Cik Mek sorang ni, mmg buat aku gelak jek.

About Mc Za, she's a lecturer in Accounting. I didn't know she graduated in accounting whereas I was the one who took Accounts during form 4-5. Currently, she's pursuing her PhD in UITM. Camner ler si Za mengajar ek.. hehehe... Smlm mcm2 citer kuar, termasuklah as how she remembers me kuat tidur during SPM time... Yer ker Za, ko biar betul... and also about this one 'saiko' guy which I chose to avoid most during our school time but at the same time was one of her best fren... We also tried to figure out the whereabout of our other dorm-mates. Well, there were things like some of our frens or some of the events which I didn't recall at all, sigh... Is it bcoz of age factor or the ignorance part of me?? Or combination?? About the girl's name which Za was asking as she described as a sweet girl with long hair & 'terror' in Physics (good at Physics) was left unanswered. I was clueless... who??

Our photo after 18 yrs meeting each other. If I hv time & if only I'm not lazy, maybe I can add the photos during Mrsm... :P

ACD program in Penang Equatorial.

Even at first I was wondering why all the way to Penang and not KL, but again who am I, ikut jer ler... Mcm sewa flight la plak... Just after I clarified with the organizer why Penang, their answer was the overall / pkg cost in Penang was still cheaper compared by having it in KL...

The program was ok, mix of informative talks & fun...
