Tarikh keramat...

24/10/05...the much awaited date...as for the nation, this coming Monday is public holiday due to the mourning of the death of late Malaysian 1st Lady, Allahyarham Datin Endon Mahmood who passed away early this morning. In my case, there's a lil bit of joy & sadness...sedih gak nk tinggalkan all those sweet + bitter memories of working with one of the nations famous philantropist. As been promised by the FC, by the end of this month, smua staff yg shortlisted VSS have to face the final curtain call...ksian gak pikirkan colleagues & peers especially yg gaji kecik2 tuh. But what is said has to be done...all that is left are bitttersweet memories of KAB...masing2 bawa diri & haluan masing2....signing off

Honey Dew or Tembikai Susu?

This true story happened last nite at Deejay's. I was with Megatt at that time.

Waiter : Ya Bang nk minum apa?

Me : (Gazing at the beverage menu) Tembikai susu ada?

Waiter : Tembikai boh susu ka bang?

Me : Dak aih...tembikai susu la, bukan tembikai biasa...

Waiter : Tembikai campor susu ada laa bang, abg mau yang tu ka?

(Megatt interjected at this point of time)

Megatt : Haa jgn dok merapu campoq ikut dan..sat lagi muntah tak pasai...bagi ais kosong satu...

Me : Ermm...honey dew ada?

Waiter : Ada...

Me : Lorr..honey dew ada, tembikai susu tadak plak? (We couldn't resist from giggling & laughing my heart out, whilst the waiter, a teenage, stared at me...muka blank!)

Waiter : (Smiled & off to the beverage corner)

MORALNYA : Itulah Malaysia negara ku terchenta...majoriti rakyatnya adalah follower tanpa tahu menahu apa yg di'follow'nya!

Late again...hello again

8.02...just two minutes over par dis morning..better than yesterday - 8.06. Tahun ni saja dah 3 kali aku dapat surat - show cause letter...to explain the cause of dis 'owes come 2 work late' syndrome dat has been ongoing for the past few months...they wanted a letter, i'll give 'em one..no question asked...x penah serik,dok my lewat2 jgak tuh. Whats the fuss of me being late to work?As long as the jobs done..alls well ends well lah. Yg geramnya tu ada mamat nih yg masuk keja kul 10.00 tp nobody takes any action againts him...wheres the fairness & equality that they've been shouting all this while?..

The Rendesvous

....met her for the 3rd time on July 9th...since 2003, the last one yg dekat shahab tuh...not much of a difference selepas setahun, she looks confident & stunning as usual..a bit unlucky coz Anuja isn't preparing the dish of the day - nasik briyani, so I end up eating the usual mamak dish...not much to talk about..sblom jmpa bnyk bnda nk crita & nk tanya tp bila dok dpn mata..lupa segala-gala..maybe its the atmosphere yg x bgitu conducive or maybe bcoz am too tired..actually supposed to meet her at 1.00, tapi I over spent my time at UIA...so hv to rush hastily from Gombak and Alhamdulillah dapat gak jumpa....am lookin' 4ward for the next 'meeting'.....

3 hari di KL, 5 pertemuan,5 tempat berbeza...masing2 dgn makna tersendiri....tapi yang paling bermakna ialah pertemuan yg ke-5 btween me, Radin Faizul & Bob..discussing & revealing what & who..when & where & how...

Sizing up...& down

Had a big meeting last Monday btween me,mr hak & all wardens of AAB...just a simple meet & brief session...mr hak explaining the current & updated situation of whts happening at the top...whilst I gave the details of the rumors about AWE soon-to-be-ceased operation...just clearing the air..well sort of..we couldnt detail out on what's currently happening due to clear direction not being given yet by Habib...just more towards 'wait & see' stage at the moment.We're gonna see some restructuring & rightsizing exercise to be done in the near future.Some of the staff are on the "passenger manifest" list...boarding the 'bye bye' plane,just wandering who & when jer...*sigh* its a sad situation,coz all of 'em are waiting & listening anxiously.."Aku kaa yg nk kena? Nak kena stat carik keja lain la mcm ni..."most of 'em have family & mouth to feed...but it's not our say, it's THEIR say...we are trying to be fair as fair as it can be, hoping that God will help us lead the right path & make the right decision for the betterment of KAB...InsyaAllah...

all in days work...

just finished meeting at 12 noon...an interesting meetin bcoz its not any ordinary meeting..it's a "prayer meeting"..a meeting for us to pray for our fate in KAB..huh..not a meeting actually..more towards a briefing on the future of KAB...arah hala tuju & policy...mr kamil our financial controller smpat nagging lagi on the way to the meeting room pasal punctuality & stuff..hahha..meeting yg best sbb halfway dah ada refreshment..then continued with explanation about land matters from Datuk Paduka...& me wondering y must Y Bhg Datuk explaining to us all this crap about land..towards the end barulah nmpak the purpose of Y Bhg bringing up the issue of land..he's highlighting the difference btween tanah wakaf & tanah-tanah lain(malay reserved,non malay reserved etc)..the meeting ended 12.00 noon...and as usual we continued our 'eating after meeting' session as soon as pak habib went out the door..huhuhuh shame on us!
