Happy New Year!!!!

Welcome 2009 and goodbye 2008. What a year. Got transfered 3 times. Has it been a good year? Well...I would say the most challenging year ever...in terms of career, family and personal achivements. But one thing for sure 2009, will a start to a lot of new things for me. New home, new working place, new job scope, new friends...hem I hope it will turn out to be the best year in my life.

Resolution? Nah...even the one pledged last year was not even fulfilled. I love no 9 so I hope 2009 or the year of ox will change me into a better person. I want to be a more confident person, more knowledgeable, different attitude and someone that people would rely on.

To dearest family and friends ( u know who u are) thank you for making 2008 such a good year for me..for being with me through good and bad times. Without u I will not have make it...Happy New Year, Salam Maalhijrah......when the sun shines...and it is about too..caiyo! caiyo!


P/S: Syida....goodluck with SGY...i know u can do it. U are a fighter....dont ever give up and never ever loose your faith okey...

Transfer lagi!

Tahun ni dah masuk kali 3 kena transfer. Effective date new year ni. Hem perasaan...sedih sebenarnya. Bukannya pa dulu my former place ni semua orang takut nak pegi sebab biasalah orang-orang cerita memanglah macam menakutkan. Tapi after dah duduk dan kerja sini...best giler. Maybe we have changed the people's perception of this place. Sekarang ni those yang selalu cakap nak keluar bila sekarang macam dah taknak keluar lagi. Hehehe..termasuklah gue...tapi takdirlah penentu segalanya. Akhirnya kena gak berpindah jua....tapi tak jauh, cuma di wing sebelah sahaja...jabatan yang lain. Tapi sedihlah jugak sebab kenalah tinggalkan geng bebudak nakal...huhuhu..yelah even though my friends kata I ni overacting sebab sebelah je kan pegi but it wont be the same again. Manalah nak lepak bilik u all bila boring..., or bila cleaner sapu sampah manala nak singgah lagi....nanti sure korang akan merasai kehilangan kami yang meninggalkan kalian semua. To MrsMothercare, MrsBeautiful and MrsJohoe....kalau nak ke our fav place tu janganlah lupa mengajak diriku yang tak berapa jauh. Tapi tak tahula sejauh mana tahap pengularan ku ini nanti. Buat Pncumi-cumi....u are the best boss eva....and buat MrsPenang..Puan...kenang kami dalam doa mu. Now the budak nakal geng dah tinggal 4 orang...but I'm still here kan...

Tak bestnyer pindah..I am always like this. Walaupun some of the transfer tu was on my own application, except for the Teluk Intan and now...sedih gak. Yelah once I get used to that one place, nak meninggalkan punyalah sedih. Usually the friends there that kept me going even though the place was far from ok. In COA....even though I got scolded a lot, banyak kejer but because of the people there semua tu dah tak jadi masalah lagi. Sama macam kat KL dulu..MsBAndung kan....banyak sangat kenangan..hem apa boleh buat..life must go on.....

Last Wednesday macam dah tau-tau je that akan berlakunya perpisahan, coz for the 1st time in history MrsBeautiful keluar lunch ngan kami and sama ngan Pncumi-cumi. Usually those 2 tak ikut. That was the first and the last time we had lunch together...the six of us....and before going back we took a picture together...friends hope we will be working together again...

P/S: Working in COA is one of the best experience that I have gained....if I can make a choice I wouldn't want to leave...but it is not my choice.....

IJN 2

Today is dad's 5th day in IJN. Sepanjang masa pegi ICu dah agak-agak macam cam nenerapa families there. Biasalah orang2 yang sama kat situ. Eventually tegur-tegur. Hari ni ada satu kisah sedih. During our 2nd day kat ICU, mom got to know this one family. According to the father his son 11 years old was admitted last Sunday..(his son was in the ICU). Initially he wanted to besarkan the injap jantung. However according to the father instead of going to the surgery, the doctors put him under medication. On Sunday while playing or should I say masa tengah dok aktif2 tu suddenly he collapsed. Since that day he was in a coma. According to the father all the internal organs have disfunction. The peluang untuk hidup is soooo tipis. Even though he make it, he will be crippled. So setiap kali melawat dad I always looked at this boy. He was only 11 years old. So cute but he was lifeless...cuma bergantung pada life support machine. His mother was always by his side...usap, lap muka...maybe she was hoping for a miracle.

So tadi masa nak melawat dad, on the way to the ICU, the father came to mom told my mom...kak..anak saya dah meninggal.....I am so sad on hearing that. When we went to the ICU we saw the nurses taking off the wires. Sedihnyer.....his mother was crying non-stop. He was the eldest from 5 siblings. Semua lelaki. I saw 3 of the brothers. Kecik lagi 2 of them tak faham apa yang berlaku. They kept on playing as if nothing happened. The 2nd brother nampak sedih. So bila mayat diusung keluar, the father told the 2 younger brothers that their brother is in the coffin..abang dah takde lagi....and seperti biasa budak2 tu tak faham apa-apa. Sedihnya..Buat kelurga Haris banyakkan bersabar...my prayer will always be with u...

Hem...

IJN

For the last 3 days IJN (Institut Jantung Negara) is like a second home to me and my family. This is because my father had to go undergo a bypass operation. Bypass operation ni adalah mengcreatekan a new way for the blood to flow from and to the heart coz jalan lama dah tersumbat. Alhamdulillah segalanya berjalan dengan lancar. The operation which was yesterday went well. The doctor informed us that there was no complication during the surgery and now dad is recovering well. Although still in the ICU but he has regain his conciousness and he can now talk. By 4 pm afterwards he can drink. The nurse told me that dad is recovering well. The progress is good. Lega sikit. But I know it is not over. Banyak lagi stage yang kena dilalui masa recovery period ni. I just hope and pray for the best.

Yesterday during operation we had to wait like 6 hours. Ya ALlah penantian tu adalah satu penyeksaan. I feel so restless and weak. Rasa debaran kat jantung ni macam nak pecah jek. Isk isk....kalau boleh dah taknak melalui saat-saat macam ni. Scared of the unknown.

To families and friends who have called, smsed, prayed...thank you very very much. Without your support I may not be able to go through this. Please pray for me that everything will be allright..the nightmare is still not over.....

Kota Kinabalu Part 3

Lama baru nak update balik kan....baiklah sambung balik pasal trip pi KK...okey hari ke2 pun seperti biasa I have to work. Morning til like 3.00 pm. After that macam free sikit. But unfortunately I had to stay at the hotel coz dear hubby nak main golf. Hem...hari ke 3 still working but in the evening free...cruising sekitar KK....petang tengok sunset kat Tanjung Aru...how I love watching the sunset here. So beautiful and breathtaking. The lil one was also very excited walking along the beach. Later that night we had our dinner kat hubby's fav place kat Tanjung Lipat where the sumptious kepak ayam can be found. Sedap tau kepak ayam kat Sabah ni. Takde jumpa pun kat Semenanjung kepak ayam sesedap macam ni. Yam...yam....balik bilik too tired...tido awal.

Khamis was hubby and daughter's last day. Pagi biasalah pegi membeli belah kat Pasar Filipina. I didn't buy anything unusual...just a couple of brooches, ikan kering, kuih cincin and some of the things that mom pesan. Hubby's flight was that afternoon. I wanted to go to the airport but bila fikir-fikir balik nanti when they board on the plane, tinggal sensorang sedeylah plak. So decided to juast stay at the hotel. Initially I wanted to meet with Mar...pi minum-minum but on the Wednesday she was sicked so segan nak kacau...hehehe...but later kena marah ngan dia sebab tak call. Sorry Mar nanti next time we gossip ok...I will be going there again tapi tah bila....

Malam since I was alone, I watched banyak gak movies kat TV. Yelah before this I always had to berebut tv with the lil one. So I took this opportunity to watch all the movies yang still terdaya nak tengok. My dinner pizza and for dessert Big Apple donuts..ehem...

Next day my flight was i the morning. Check out awal, sampai airport pun awal...minum hot chocolate yang small tapi sangatlah besarnya. Sedeh kali ni punya trip sebab busy but insyaallah tahun depan nak pi bercuti sahaja...no more work...adios KK...til we meet again..

Kota Kinabalu Part 2

Kali ni entry pasal kat KK memang ber part-part sebab banyak gambar nak upload. Part 1 stop bila sampai hotel kan..so after being left by hubby, the lil one and I went to the Centre Point to buy some things such as her diapers, susu, biskut and 'jajang'. Masa nak turun the lil one was so in a good mood. She wanted to carry her back pack along. She was smiling and singing all the way. Unfortunately bila sampai kat Centre Point tuh which was only opposite our hotel, she started asking for her ribena. I tottaly forgotten to pack the ribena along with me, sebab I thought nak pi sat jek so takpelah. How wrong I was. So I told no ribena. She asked for susu plak. I said no susu too. Lepas tu dia nak air so I told her mama will buy water at the supermarket. I thought she understands but sebenarnya takpun. Dia nangis sambil jerit2. I had to go jugak because her diapers yang we all bawak from KL dah nak habis and susu pun takde and I am hungry too. So she asked me to 'atum' (carry her). Oklah before beli barang memanglah senang but u just imagine having to carry her with two full groceries bags and a bag of McDonalds..fuh macam nak tercabut tangan nih. Waktu tu bila sampai depan pintu bilik hotel my hands and knees have become macam sayur...letih tul. Masuk bilik isk pulas-pulas telinga se kecik tuh. Seriously my patience with her that day memang dah berkureng. But as usual dia buat muka selamba sambil makan fries and watching Tom and Jerry. Hemmmm...anak bapak..

So there goes our day...

2nd day is work day. Nervous ba...kerja tempat orang kena handle banyak benda....alhamdullillah walaupun ada gak stumble here and there tapi semua berjalan lancar. But very tiring. Lunch tak sempat makan. Had a lunch date with a friend tapi got to cancel coz tak sempat. The matter proceeded sampai jam 5. And malam tu big bos ada so they prepared a dinner...informal ba. Biasalah kalau pi Sabah tak sah kalau tak makan seafood and Sabah veggie. Seronok sebab dapat borak-borak with old friends sambil makan sedap. But sedih gak coz hubby and the lil one duk hotel. Kita makan sedap-sedap..tah apa yang they all makan...hemmmm..but the restaurant kasik tapau makanan yang tak habis. Banyak sangat sampai we all macam terkejut bila makanan kena kasik letak. Aduss I ate banyak qada yang satu hari tak makan...kuang kuang kuang.....

Butter prawn

Makan nasi...lapar seh

Antara lauk pauk...sedap...actually banyak lagi tuh...ketam, sup...

Kota Kinabalu Part 1

New Year is approaching and like last year again we went to KK, Sabah. This time around was not fully on holiday but more on business trip...chewah....well I had to work, betullah kan. Hubby and the lil one came along. I could not just not take them with me....sedey wuhhh being there alone. Anyway hubby had one thing in mind...biasalah menebas rumput-rumput kat padang (u know what I mean) and the lil one nak baik kampung tempat kelahiranlah katakan. Well actually after coming back from KK last two years, we never failed to go to Sabah each and every year. Maybe because we have considered that KK is like our second hometown. Our friends are still there. Cuma kali ni tak sempat nak spend masa sangat coz I was so tight up with my work. Sorry Mar tak sempat keluar makan during my last night there.

So...nak pi Sabah naik separate flight with hubby and daughter. I went there by MAS (biasalah employer bayar and kena handle barang-barang office) and hubby and the lil one went by AirAsia (now everyone can fly). I travel with 2 of the office staffs. Al-malangnya kena je duduk belakang sekali dekat toilet. Which i don't mind now. Dulu mind. Apa-apa pun nak cari dekat depan dan tepi tingkap. Now pun sama gak cuma I prefer back seat dah. I heard satu teori nikan katakanlah kalau plane crash ke (isk nauzubillah) the possibility of those yang duduk seat belakang untuk selamat tu lebih besar as compared dari yang duk depan. Fuh...itulah pasal since then I don't mind to be seated at the back.

Depa sampai earlier than me. Had one of our friend to pick us up from the airport. Hubby from Airport 2 and mine from Airport 1. Hubby sampai jek terus pi main golf ngan his friend. Kasik cannlah coz after this I'll be busy with work and he will have to take care the lil one. Tinggallah kami berdua di bilik hotel. This was the first time dok Imperial International Hotel...situated kat Warisan Square. The room was very spacious. The lil one had great time running around the room. However the view was not that great, only overlooking Centre Point. Before this we stayed at Imperial Boutec Hotel. It was rather small. That was why we tried this hotel coz the room was spacious and they do provide us breakfast (even though tak sedap). Ok nilah the gambar-gambar...

Mesti gak ambik gambar shower...besar and sangat puas mandi

Madagascar

For the first time the lil one was taken to the cinema...and she succesfully watched 'Madagascar'. Before going to KK hubby and I decided to take the lil one for her first movie. So since Madagascar is playing we thought it would be a very nice experience for her. First, it was scary...we were very sceptical, takut membazir duit, kan dah bayar-bayar in the middle of the movie or worst bila the lights out dia buat perangai nak keluar tak ke telah membazirkan duit. So I remembered when we were small when my parents took us out for a movie they would take with them a lot of food, so that the food will keep me and my sisters distracted. So I told hubby to buy a large pop corn. Masuk movie the lil one was a bit blur. Dia pun tak tau tempat apakah itu dah apa yang akan terjadi. She was sitted in the middle between me and hubby. We gave her the pop corn and she started eating. She really enjoyed the pop corn. Throughout the movie she was a very good girl and me..keep on holding my breath and praying so that the lil one will not make a scene. Alhamdullillah she was quite an Angel...quite....hehehe...towards the end she got bored, wanted me to take her to the toilet, even though she was wearing a diaper. By the time we reached our seats, the movie ended..sigh....but I am glad she didn't make any scene...which she is capale of doing...maybe next time I'll take her again...maybe tengok cerita hantu...she loves cerita macam tu...pelikkan..well at least I have a friend to watch horror movies now...

Pooh!

Still eating the popcorn

TGI...

Last 2 Friday, the 'Budak-budak nakal' geng minus 2 went to TGI kek Subang Parade. Saja je coz on last puasa we went to Subang Parade...unfortunately bulan puasa lah kan so makan mana leh and biasalah nafsu makan time tu memang tengah membuak-buak. So we all have decided that after raya we would go to Subang Parade and makan. Masa tu we were all eyeing Dave's Deli. Tapi entahlah bila bulan tak pose masa pi sana tak jadilah plak. The others cakap TGI pun boleylah..me being a very obedient person..hehehe..agreed to it.Maleh nak citer pepanjang just tengoklah makanan kami...sedap, fulfilling and it didn't create big hole to our pocket..okeylah tuh.

Our Ice Lemon Tea..refreshing

Appetizer

Mothercare's dish..so cheesy..she said

Mine..all time fav..garlic pasta

Pink's...pasta gak..in a set

MrsJohoe..sedap nasi dia..

Desserts

Best tau sekali sekala makan kat tempat lain...kalau tak asik-asik Alamanda jek walaupun TGI ni bukanlah my fav dining place. But anyway the food is good. But a bit frustrating because takde my fav mud pie...sigh...but who am I to complain..the desserts above were so delicious...we shared...kureng skit bab lemak tuh..hehehe
