OLD GANG REUNION

Hena is back. She's a close friend of mine, more like a sister to me - You can say, we grew up together. She's married to Amos and works with Alliance Bank in Subang.

So, as usual, called up all the gang to meet up. I was excited when Eng Siong managed to contact Stanley, Sing How and Korno for the "reunion"; unfortunately none of the boys turn-up. Audrey went to JB for her class - and feeling glad to avoid the "reunion". So I had to be contended having Hena, Hui Khoon, Linda and Eng Siong and later were joined by Eileen and Josiah.

We ate at the Elephant; as usual and had a great time catching up with each other.

MY OFFICE NEW LOOK....

The Bank launched its' new platform on 23rd July;Wednesday. I loved the way the place look. It was so alive and colourful with smell of fresh flowers every way.............ah....makes ones feel as if in Eden. I have to admit, it was a fun day for everybody and work was delightful.

Flowers......

More flowers....and the place smell of garden of roses, lilies....

Our players: Chang Nyet Lee, Diana, Emily, Chang Kin Sung,
Thomas Lim, Lina Chew, Joanna Thian and Jane Trevor.

It was a fun Friday too. With 60% workforce today (most of them went off to Brunei by invitation of Brunei's Branch for a Sport Carnival in conjunction with 60 years anniversary of the Bank in that country and certain people on leave and of coz one particular person on sick leave). Despite the short-handedness it was still an enjoy-full environment to work in becoz somehow I am surrounded by people who share the same view and opinion on certain issues if not all. It makes working there bearable. I guess its universal issues; you are bound to work with idiots too - I just feel they don't know how lucky they are to work with the Bank. Some people just resented it until they fail to unveil their true potential...... Anyway, I made monies today....(Overtime)

I joined my sis/bro-in-law for dinner at Holiday Inn this evening. Thank you Mayfri and Marianna, it was so thoughtful of you (and of coz the kids joint them earlier for a dip in the pool). It was a Japanese/Korean buffet style dinner. I had a taste of Kim chi, Japanese pizza, mussel, sushi, cheese cake.... To bad the camera is spoilt.

Nasi ayam, next Laksa.

I received an sms from ND@4.30pm, Sunday; inviting us to mom's coz somebody is cooking chicken rice. Emmmm.... sound good - meaning; free meal for me, good company, delicious food and a time with the whole family(we do this almost every week and next week is Laksa week).

Now, a normal person would not think of anything other than well.... it's just a normal family weekend's dinner. Eek... WRONG!!!!!!

Found out until after dinner that actually mom does not like the idea of me eating out so often. When I deny saying I only do it on weekends she replied - "what about on your working days?" Emmm...she has a point there (at this point of time, all eyes were on me).

Since Beth starting Kindy, I & hubby have been having breakfast together. Breakfast was something we didn't have time to do before - morning was a rush for us...

So, it will be breakfast with hubby and sometimes Fiona, Mary or Stephen, Lunch with Fiona and dinner at mom's.

I gained 5-7kg since - mom's worry, I also worry ..........

Guess I wouldn't be a Kumang Gawai again....
