Yup, last weekend would be my third longggggg weekend. Friday, Saturday and Sunday off. Woohooo. I wish working days would stay like this forever, Four Days A Week. Hahaha.
This time, on Friday, I went to Rawang to visit my friend who's also my college-uni-office-mate and her lovely new born daughter. Lebat rambutnya and what a cute mouth she has :D
Later, I stop by at my other friend house and we went shopping afterwards and boy am I happy when she treated me a nice Prosperity Burger. Yummmm. Thanks dear, nanti-nanti leh belanja lagi ek. Hihi.
Saturday, I went to my friend's house for a cukur jambul and akikah for her daughter. There I met one of my postgrad masa kat uni dulu with her family. Teringat balik time makan-makan at her house with all the delicious food she cook for us. Sedapppp sangat. She is an excellent cook and she loves to try new recipe and what do you know, always menjadi! :D And the memory leads to another memories like Pot Luck and BBQ. Guys, nak tak if one day kita buat pot luck kat mana2? Jom arr, jom arr. It would be sooo much fun!
Eh, lupa pulak. Let's continue. Afterwards, I went to Pizza Hut after we managed to kidnap my niece from her parents. Haha. Actually, me, my sister's sister in law and her parents doing a favour to take care of their cute daughter while they're going for a date. So, kitorang pun gi lah jalan. Eating Pizza, bought some sweet cupcakes, pusing-pusing university. When we reached home, soon her parents pun balik.
On Sunday, me, along and her husband plus his friend went to watch a movie. Alvin and The Chipmunks. Soooooooo Cuteeeee...Hehe.
Suddenly teringat balik pasal Pot Luck and tetiba "one day" seems like lamanyaaaaaa..Haha....

Balik Kampung Ho Ho Ho Balik Kampung...
Last weekend me, my sis, my brother in law n his friend plus my cheeky niece balik kampung by car. Most of my friends know that I rarely balik kampung using the road. So this time, since balik kampung ramai2, I don't really mind travel together using the highway. A normal travel hours to reach kampung would be around 6 hours. Sometimes, to those yang fast driver tu, they can make it in 4 to 5 hours time. Our journey went smooth at first, a bit slow here and there (because of the shower and small accidents) but still okay. About 45 minutes away from our destination, suddenly we found a long que ahead. Okay, this gonna be bad, but seriously I never thought it's gonna be that bad. There's no movement at all for about 1 hour plus. According to one akak (met her at R&R nearby while waiting for the car to move - I have to walk about 500m while the kakak around 1km) the waiting is almost 2 hours now. Rumors said there's an accident involving a big lorry carrying rice. So to clean up the mess, itu yang lama kena tunggu. So after two long hours of waiting, the cars finally start moving. Sampai kampung all together took about 9 hours. What a longgggg journey...
Malam tu, we did nothing but rest. The next morning, me, along, my brother, ayah, my niece n grandma went to a lake near my house. We drove a buggy around the lake. Sooo nice the scenary and the wind blowing sampai my niece boleh tertido. Later, we have roti arab for our breakfast. Around noon, we went to a duty free shop and bought some chocolates, tudung, shoes etc. Later that night, we're having kfc while watching 2012 using projector in the living room. Kinda mini cinema you can say. It was funnn!!
Early morning, we're thinking of going to the lake again. But since we have to pack and all, we make a move back at around 10am. We arrived at 3pm and went straight to a shopping mall instead. Bought a swimming attire for the little girl and having lunch at Friday's.
That night, me continue reading sidney sheldon's latest book (written by Tilly Bagshawe) Mistress of the Game for a short while before heading to bed for a good night rest. Have to prepare mentally n physically for the next day. Working Day..huhu..(susahnya nak tido when your mind keep wandering about the work lah, teambuilding lah...solution: get it settled fast!). I wish!!!
All in all, Balik Kampung BEST walaupun sekejap jer... :D

Weekends
Last two weekends, I went to my friend's wedding with one. Ramai kengkawan uni n collegue attend the wedding. The bride and the bridegroom were very beautiful that day. I like the bride nya appearance that day, simple yet soooo sweeeeett..Cantik sangat. The make up pun not too tebal. Just nice make her glowing as ever. After the wedding we went straight back home.
Last Saturday, me and my friend having breakfast at a restaurant nearby. Later, we went to a new mall to checkout a movie but since the movie will end later than 1pm, we decided to go to another mall for bowling. My friend has to pick up lil' sis at her work at 1pm and we're going to have lunch together. So when we arrived at the other mall and found out that the bowling centre was closed for few days for tournament, we made a decision to watch a movie to kill time. We picked New Moon and rename it as "Half Moon" since we only watched it half way. I think up until the part Bella ran to her dad after she saw the warewolves in the middle of the jungle.
Then the three of us have Arab Cuisine as our lunch. The same restaurant that we had for university reunion for buka puasa about two/three years ago. The portion was quite "too much" for us we had to tapau. Later we went to another mall for our Zuhur prayer before I headed back home.
On Sunday, there's a BBQ at my friend's house with friends and family. At first, I planned to go with my highschool friend since she lived near my house. Since she can't make it, I went there alone. Help a bit with preparing the salad and cutting some fruits. We have chicken, sausages, meehoon, krispy creme, corn etc. Yummie :). The BBQ does bring back memories masa zaman study kat uni dulu. They play tv games afterwards but since I have to get up early for work tomorrow, didn't stay for the games and went straight back home.
Today: Keje macam biasa. Huhu…Can't wait for the coming weekend. Balik kampung with my sis, brother in law and my niece i.e. three days to go…..

Nothing much to update
As given away by the title, there's nothing much to update really. Hari Raya Aidiladha as usual, we went to Perlis to celebrate. But most of the time (five days holiday) play bowling with my brother n ayah plus eating out (fast food..*sigh*). We're having a good time n my brother should feel even more since he got his netbook that he wanted at PC Fair that we went.
Back to work on Monday and received a great news. My friend's having a baby girl. Went to visit her during lunch break with officemate. Sooo cute. Lebat sungguh rambutnya. Hehe. Ikut rupa mama and ayahnya. But more to ayah I guess. Couldn't tell since baby tend to change her features day by day. Really happy for them. Alhamdulillah.
Today's my brother in law birthday. So last night (11pm-early eh)we celebrate with a cake and some presents. Not from me I'm afraid. Huhu. Tak sempat beli. Weekend nanti ye InsyaAllah. Looking forward for this coming weekend.....

Training & HaRi RaYa AiDiLaDhA
Last week (19th & 20th November 09) I went for a training at SHRDC on "De Bono's Six Thinking Hats". Quite kewl actually. It's about the idea of Parallel Thinking instead of using arguments for decision to be made. For example, last time in our meeting, when someone says something i.e. his idea, there's always someone who would say "no, we can't do that coz its....". So De Bono came out with an idea for less argument yet the maximum result will be achieved by using the methods of six thinking hats. They are:
a) Blue hat - For controlling in setting focus (normally the
chairperson of a meeting)
b) White hat - Information shared
c) Yellow hat - Advantages and its reasons
d) Black hat - Problems and its reasons
e) Red hat - Intuition/Feelings/Emotions
f) Green hat - Ideas
So, in a meeting at a time, only one hat should be used by everyone so that no necesary argument will take place and the meeting could be finished earlier with everyone consents.
There also a Thinking Game in the session that I like. It goes like this:
There are eight people to cross a river using a raft:-
*One Police
*One Prisoner
*A Mother
*A Father
*Two Sons
*Two Daughter
There are conditions too:-
i) Maximum no. of person allowed at a time on the raft is TWO
ii) Only POLICE or A PARENT can OPERATE the raft
iii) MOTHER is NOT ALLOWED to be left ALONE with SON/S
iv) FATHER is NOT ALLOWED to be left ALONE with DAUGHTER/S
v) PRISONER is NOT ALLOWED to be left ALONE with ANY OF FAMILY MEMBERS
So, what is the sequences/arrangements that enable all the eights to cross the river. Best kan the game? Any one would like to guess? ;)
Another two days dah nak raya. I would like to wish you all Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha. Maaf Zahir Batin. Kalau masih ada yang ingin membuat korban but don't know how and where to go, maybe you would like to check out www.ezqurban.org. They will close the application on 27th (Aidiladha) itself, so we have another two days to participate (via online form on their website). Let's grab the chance guys =)
I have applied for a leave tomorrow. On Thursday, we already been given a force leave. So, altogether it would be five days holiday. Yeay! Hehe. But later sure pening with all the works yang setia menanti..Woohooo...not :(
Esok would take a cab to the airport very early in the morning with ayah. Ayah's flight is at 7am. While mine is at 3pm. There'll be 8 hours for me to spare. Travel between airports plus reading a book plus eat plus shopping n browsing, I think I'll be fine. Hopefully :)
Okies, catch u guys later when I'm back from the long holidays. SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILADHA. Maaf dan halal dipinta, zahir dan batin.

I'm-Really-Happy-But.......
About the interview, it's actually a scholarship to support me pursue my Masters (Msc). I knew it's a tough one to get (since the sponsor always mention about to find a great leadership, yada, yada) and I just want to try my luck. And actually I didn't expect to be included in "short listed" list in the first place. To pass stage one and experienced the memorable second stage is a bonus indeed. Alhamdulillah. As to my boss, hehe, I understand his feelings why he was so upset if I passed. Coz just recently his staff has resigned and I'm replacing him. Plus his other staff has been transferred to other unit. So, he just started to coach me the SOP and all, and yet he found out he was about to lose another staff. Hehe..So can't blame him fully to feel that relief, right :D . Anyway, I take it as a sign for me to focus on my new task, my Modal Insan and my assisgnment to coordinate a TeamBuilding for my department. That's a lot of commitment. InsyaAllah, I will do my best to carry out all the responsibilities.
I am now very happy with something's going on in my life but it's hard to feel completely happy if you know there's a misery on the other hand. Plus I am not certain whether this happiness will turn out something even greater joy at the end or just a normal happiness that come and go in our life. A drop by just to make our life brighter even if it's only for a while. But I do pray to Allah to make the happiness last forever. With a Happy Ending. Ameen...

Belum Rezeki...
Last week, boss tanya "How's the result?"
Memula tu agak confuse..result ape ye...then dia cakap "Alaaa..yang interview tu lah.."
I said that most probably tak dapt..Then, he urge me to call to confirm..So I did..
According to the one yang answering the phone, the third stage was actually been conducted last week. So, for those yang tak dapat invitation, meaning they automatically been eliminated for the scholarship..I told my boss the news. Yhen he asked again "U call direct ke or call kawan u?"..I said, "Confirm, I called the company directly"..Then my boss said "Alhamdulillah"..Sabar je la...Dia happy jer when he knew yang I didn't get the scholarship...Well...that's ok..Not my call..Belum rezeki lah tu..Mungkin kat tempat lain...Bak kata sorang tu "Belum ada rezeki tu. Your time will come InsyaAllah. Don't be bogged down with it too much ok." Okay...Thank you ye...Yang penting, never give up, right :D
Continuation from previous entry. I have made a big decision last three weeks. Bismilahitawakkaltua'lallah...
