to Kak Ngah, Happy Belated Birthday, sorry lupa nak wish yesterday when we meet for the breaking of fast at Fir's house. By the way my sister was born one day before Malaysia got her independence in 1957, that was on the 30th of August. According to my late mum, my father was at Dataran Merdeka rehearsing for the merdeka celebration when she was born. And among my siblings, i tend to never to forget her birthday, how could i with all the media going all out about celebrating merdeka day on 31 August every year. A blessing in disguise wouldn't you say so for me..hei hei hei

Alhamdullilah

Second day of Ramadan, it's a blessing this year dapat start the fasting dengan hari yang tak bekerja. Boleh concentrate on the ramadan more than work. Boleh juga la periok belanga ku berbunyi, if tak bazar ramadan la tempat aku memasak nanti, so boleh la skill aku memasak yang tak seberape tu di uji kihkihkihkih......

Yang paling tak ku gemar is that bila puasa bermula on a working day, everyone is rushing to go back in time for the breaking of fast and the road will be chock full of traffic. Tersilap masa by just a second pun, terperangkap dalam traffic la maknanya, happened to me a few times dah the past few years. Now I'm very mindful of the fact, sampai dah siapkan bekal kurma and mineral water dalam kereta, mana la tau kut tak sempat sampai, boleh jugak berbuka, albeit in the car, tapi tak pe la asal ibadah puasa tu dapat dijalankan dengan sempurna.

So this year bekal kurma dah siap, but i'll be trying my darnest to get home in time before azan magrib, at least tak la rushing sangat nak bersiap untuk gi solat terawih. Nasib la surau tu tak jauh sangat dari rumah, jalan kaki ke sana pun boleh........

Ramadan Al-Mubarak

First day of puasa, selamat berpuasa untuk semua, yang ku kenal dan tak ku kenali. Moga ibadah puasa yang jalani bersama ini akan mendatangkan keberkatan kepada kita semua. Disamping itu semoga amalan yang kita lakukan sepanjang puasa ini akan diterima Allah.....


SELAMAT BERPUASA
&
MENUNAI SOLAT TERAWIH
SEPANJANG BULAN YANG MULIA INI
p.s: moga tak tertinggal satu pun solat terawih untuk sepanjang ramadan ini (^_^),

Farewell

IDFR Welfare Club had a farewell do for IDFR staffs yang dah pindah ke jabatan lain or retired from service. Out of the nine, four turned up for the do.... Alhamdullilah and thank you to them for turning up. I was so worried that not one of the invited guests will turn up for the do. Ye lah, most but not all asked to be transferred out and some left with a bitter after taste in their mouth, so that sort of scared me a lot, since I'm part of the organising committee. Things lagi rasa worst since Dato' really really looked displeased about having the do one day ahead of a major event that the Institute is hosting.......Erm ntah la this year memang jinx agaknya for me, mesti aje ada yang tak kena kat mana-mana.

Anyway the farewell went off well, even though Dato' came down late to grace the event, way later then Tan Sri, boss yang paling atas. Tan Sri nampak ok, but Dato' sat there with a frown on her face and dengan muka masam to boot. When I invited her to sit at the main table pun dia refused, before leaving a while later, tanpa menjamah apa-apa pun yang terhidang. I'm really in hot soup with her on this, it seems dia rasa kurang puas hati because I did'nt go to see her to inform her about the do beforehand. Well...... I admit it was an oversight on my part, ye lah mana nak kejar Tan Sri to see which date yang dia free, preparation untuk course that my Division was running, nak kena buat MPK and the endless meetings yang kena attend, as a result lupa la pulak nak masuk mengadap dia. Now have to face the music la nampaknya, regardless of whether I like it or not..... Ye la SYMP katakan...... hei hei hei hei

Posa

Posa is just around the corner, half of the year nearly gone and a lot have happened to me. I wonder what more is waiting for me for the rest of the year, only Allah knows. I can plan but Allah will decides whether what I plan for the rest of the year will bear fruit or not. Yup, looking back to the past months of 2009, it had been an eventful year.....


POSA.....talking or thinking about posa makes me realised that this year, Che (that's how I addressed my late mother) won't be around to share the Ramadan with the family. I wonder how posa would be like this year....last year everybody spent the fasting month and had the raya celebration in Kuala Lumpur, a first for Che and Wae (my father) not to posa and beraya at the kampung. Yes definitely it will be different this year. For me there won't be any mad rush to buy ticket to go back to the kampung 'cos I'm not too sure as to where I'll be celebrating this raya, yang penting sekarang posa dulu.

DIHARAP BULAN YANG PENUH BERKAT INI AKAN MEMBAWA BERSAMANYA KEBERKATAN UNTUK SEMUA UMAT ALLAH DIDUNIA INI, TAK KIRA DI MANA MEREKA BERADA..... AMIN...

Venting my frustration

I hate it when people looked down their noses at me and have this holier then thou expression on their faces, especially when the course is running, as if I have not put in my blood, sweat and tears to ensure that the course would be a success. I REALLY REALLY HATE IT..... ar'gh.... but I have to istighfar banyak-banyak and keep saying to myself sabar, sabar think of their age, otai kata kan, but ar'gh, one of them really bugs me more than the other...hem sabar aje lah..

She has this holier than thou attitude everytime we have a course to run together and never lift a finger to help with the logistics for the course and when anything goes wrong... the blame falls on my lap, is that fair?????? aaaaaar'gh thinking of it is enough to make my mood go all sour. Just because she's pampered at home and everything gets done for her, don't expect the same thing at the office, buat sama-sama la, berat sama dipikul ringan sama dijinjing. All she wants to do is, sits back like a queen, with arms akimbo, and look down her snooty nose at me scurrying around ensuring that everything is in place. I thing that what really bugs me most is when dia bekira sangat about the division of work. If it appears as if I have less teaching hours then her, she'll go crying to the Director, asking the Director to intervene on her behalf and to make sure that I get equal cuts of the pie same as her...and most of the time the Director will side her, just because they are good friends from way back. All she wants to do is just to waltz in and teach. But she doesn't give a thought that while she's happily teaching, I'll be running around in circles, chasing after the course clerks to make sure that everything is in place and no hiccups will occur thoughout the duration of the course and at the same time preparing for my lectures.

Talking about the course clerks (one otai and one with an attitude) and in some ways the P.A to the Director too is part of the circus, is another story all together.... enough said. Come to think of it there's more otai compared to the not so otai in my division....erm sabar aje lah.
