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....

I am pissed!!!!!!!

The prices of fuel has gone up, AGAIN. Although I don't feel the pinch yet but it's gradually coming and I am not sure whether we(the family unit) can deal with it. If the government are so keen in rising the fuel prices and taking out all the subsidies, I think they are doing it the wrong way - you are burdening the rakyat and I think you should build a better transportation systems FIRST. It's a fact that the federal are giving the state RM1B and sad to say some of the funds will go to Apai Sali's and the sons' pocket. I am pissed!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even if all the ministers were to deduct 10% of their salaries, I bet you they still earned by their other incomes(and of coz being corrupted people!!!!) WE are the rakyat are always on the losing side. They forgot the reason why the are holding that positions. WE ELECTED THEM TO SUPPORT US, BE OUR VOICES AND TO PROTECT US. OK let me cool down first.....

Forget that I ever mentioned Apai...

We can't even put our status as the same of that of KL. They have LRT,ERL, apa lagi ya... These are the system that I am talking about. You connect towns like as far as Serian and Bau make Kuching it's Centre. Hello....... don't tell me it never occurred in the minds of all that have been elected.( Ya..... they are all so busy collecting harta for themselves they forgot us.....)

Until it materialises don't even think about hiking the price. Put your foot where your mouth is just don't let me do it....

SELAMAT ARI GAWAI DAYAK

OOO............ AHHH........

SELAMAT ARI GAWAI NGAGAI KITAI BANGSA DAYAK

GAYU GURU GERAI NYAMAI

LANTANG SENANG NGINTU MENUA.

Sexy, sexy, sexy

It's not about anybody but about our school uniform, the baju kurung. Now what is the excitement about??? This is kerja orang yang tak ada kerja.

On Wednesday, National Islamic Students Association of Malaysia vice-president Munirah Bahari reportedly said the school uniform worn by schoolgirls was sexy.

Munirah said: "The white blouse is too transparent and it becomes a source of attraction", and that it could encourage "rape, sexual harassment and even premarital sex".(NST 25May08)


Duh....

Don't you think you should focus more on the offenders and not the victims?.

On a lighter side.....

David Cook IS the American Idol 2008 ( as predicted by yours truly) and as we hoped, Stacy won the Akademi Fantasia 6.

Well my brother Abet would breath easily now becoz when Stanly was voted out of the Akademi, it was like a conspiracy theory exist and he was fumed up when they didn't kicked Nadia out when she was voted out earlier. Luckily Nadia was in 5th place. He vow never to SMS to this progamme. A word of advise... Let's just stick to American Idol.

The other day, I happened to cross/find some of the blogger that I find amusing. They touches on issues from politics to entertainment, from the things you find irritating to something we take for granted. So frens for the benefit of others I am sharing them under "my amusement", so check them out ya.... (I have to thank Abet for this).

Can't believe it!!!

Today marked the end of my core leave. So, what did I do? Pretty much nothing. Planned to go to Damai last Saturday but the kids came down with fever so spent Monday with Ezra(who was on sick leave). He was ok on Tuesday just in time for his exam on Wednesday. Then I spent Tuesday and Wednesday looking at the two square boxes. Managed to watch "The Devil wears Prada" n "The Spartan". 9am/1pm - Oprah time (did some soul searching). Then finally hubby managed to get leave on Thursday, so while waiting for the kids, we went to tHE Spring - bought a Ms Read's blouse and that's it...... My life is so boring..... I keep on bugging him for a second wheel. Tunggu lah when I get it......and on top of that, the weather is so HOT.

Today, I managed to go for that long due facial appointment, I snoozed then went for my HfF dinner@Country Court. It was nice to meet up with the gang since I didn't see them for a week and did some catching up..Surprisingly, nobody took photos this time so I got nothing to share with you guys.....

So here I am....

I am bored.....

I think I'll call it a day. Goodnite. Hopefully tomorrow I have some topics to write about eh...
