Hen Nite, Yasmin Ahmad & Gerberas...

Hi everyone!!

It has been a long weekend... Full of activities, events and work waiting to be done. Didn't go back to see my darlings this weekend since my ex-schoolmate, Laura, and herFriend Helga, are having their hen nite @ bachelorette party.
Practically I'm a 'mak-ayam' since I'm married, :D, luckily there's another friend in the same boat as I am... Was held at a serviced apartment in the heart of BB, all girls, 11 of us. Basically it's like having a western meal - the cold appetiser, then came the main dish and ends with the dessert. Wouldn't detail it out, still waiting for the pictures from a dear friend who's still jet-lagged in UK. Tunggu jak lah.

While we were busy partying, the midnite news came with a shocking piece on Yasmin Ahmad death. Sempat gak we all pray in silence for 1 minute before resuming our party. She was so talented, sensitive to her surroundings and her stories are so full of love and forgiveness; not forgetting her heartbreaking ad for Petronas all these years. There will be no more Sepet, Gubra, Mukhsin, Talentime... No more sweet Tan Hong Ming and his girlfriend... I will truly miss her tearjerking ad, and I think of her as the utmost champion of unity long before 1Malaysia. All my love, Yasmin, and may you rest in peace... Truly a legacy!

Luckily I am still sober the next day to drive Laura home. And grab some curry puffs from Ikea. And rearrange the furniture in my rented apartment. Alih punya alih, i teroverhaul the dining area. Lupak ambik gambar sebelum, gambar selepas pun boleh juak nak?

The gerberas were from Ikea, same as the vase and the placemat. I took off the owner’s alas and replaced it with a shawl instead. Haha! Semua green.. At least I have a comforting home to return to...

Next week will be back in Kuching to see this girl....

What a busy week/month/year!!!


Lamanya dah tak update post kat sini... Past few weeks betul-betul mencengkam sebab kerja menimbun... I am never an expert in research papers whatsoever... So a bit difficult to adapt to new work environment.. I'm operational, and would have preferred spontaneity in work. Research is dragging my legs...

Today I finished keying-in all the data from ministries, although haven't receive all feedbacks. I'm short of staff, as in semua staff dah cabut ambik post kontrak kat ministry lain. PKS pay is ciput, compared to kontrak. So now dah x ada PKS, ha menangisla kawan... 800++ kementerian, dengan average 50 item per kementerian. Sakit oohh...
