Tomorrow's my last day in HRSC. Well, supposedly. I have a feeling that i'm gonna be here a little bit longer than that.
Apparently, Bossy Boss asked the 2 senior managers if any of their staff would like to volunteer manning the center. Ask to volunteer? Who in their right mind would want to do that? We certainly did not raise our hands to volunteer working at HRSC. They should have thought about this even before launching HRSC. This is all insane!
Deli's been working late for the whole week. He might have to work on Saturday. Sucks.
Wonder who's gonna be voted out for American Idol tonight.

Family Reunion
Deli picked me up from the office and headed straight to Malacca. Started the journey at 1.30pm. Decided to make an exit at Alor gajah instead of Ayer Keroh. TV3's having one of their carnival thingy and we didn't wannt get stuck in traffic. Finally reached Reviera at 4.30pm. Called Along - the clan's halfway to Ayer Keroh exit. Since we're celebrating Tok Ayah's birthday, i had to drag Deli to a nearby bakery for the cake. When we got back to the hotel, the whole troop was waiting by the carpark. Do you know how couples run to their partners with arms wide open, by the sea, slow-mo, with romantic music going on,etc in movies? That was pretty much what happened between the kids. They literally ignored the parents after that and be in their own merry world.
Right after everybody's all freshened up and made themselves comfy in the living room, Tok Ayah and Tok Mak were hailed from the next room for a little surprise party. Tok Ayah was really surprised! Heheh..
Had seafood dinner but not at Umbai. Abang (read: my BIL) suggested a place at Pantai Kundur. Not that bad! It's right by the sea and you can practically see the fishing boats. Abang told us that the boats with red lights are those going out to sea while those with greean lights are coming back to the mainland. We had a hard time believing what he said. Only because we were too busy stuffing ourselves silly.
The kids bunked in with their grandparents - yey for the parents!
Had heavy breakfast before the kids jumped into the pool. Tok Ayah had to make a move after breakfast to see his friends.
We parted around noon and as usual, the kids cried their hearts out, refusing to go their saperate ways. Even adik cried! Breaks ny heart to see them crying like that. We might go back to Johor in May and let the kids enjoy themselves.
See you people soon!

Tralala...
This is my last Saturday working at the HRSC. I feel good.. nanananananana...
Goodbye to HRSC and PABX phone. I'm not gonna miss u at all!
Gave Deli the 'rotating lamp' yesterday. He was thrilled! He started his usual speech with 'u don't have to spend so much on this' and 'it's not my birthday yet' follwed by 'hey, it say Coco Colo!'. Being a good engineer that he is - always particular on the details. Inculding tiny ones like this. Heheh...
Two more hours and i'll be on my way to see my family. Yehuuu!

TG It's Friday!
Can't wait for the day to end. We'll be off to Malacca tomorrow. Yeyyy!
Had lunch with VF at Burger King. Ventured Avenue-K for a little bit. Bought Deli a nice 'rotating-lamp' (as printed on the box). One look at it, u will definitely say it's Coca Cola but if you really looked at it, it actually says Coco Colo! Let's see how long would Deli take to realize that. Hehehhehehe....
Was supposed to buy a gift for my dad's birthday. I don't know what to get him - seriously. The only thing that i can think of is astro remote control. Tok Mak complained that Natasha and Tok Ayah constantly fight for the remote control. Maybe i'll get that for him. Why is it so hard to get gifts for guys? Is this a global issue?
It's 5.30pm!! I'm buying a cd - maybe Robbie William or Maroon 5. Or both!

I am so full right now! *burpp* Alhamdulilah.
Went to Carrefour last night for a bit of groceries shopping and dinner. Decided to dine at Rasa Ayamas - kakak and adik loved their garlic bread and mini sausages. Our table was nearby the so-called-entrance where you can see patrons walking past. I was sitting alone while Deli and the kids were at the counter, when suddenly somebody picked up the menu on the table and walked to his friend. I was not reading the menu or anything - i would be upset if i was! He could at least say 'excuse me' or 'can i look at the menu' or simply anything instead of taking it away just like that. That was actually rude! I gave his friend a good u're-so-rude stare when she returned the menu to the table. Instead of saying 'thanks' or 'sorry', she just walked away. Don't civilized people have manners anymore? Geez.
Got home around 10pm and saw JAG on StarWorld. I was channel browsing when i saw CSI: New York on AXN! I didn't know AXN would air the rerun last night. I saw it last 2 nights and had to miss Wild Card on StarWolrd which Deli and i loved to bits. Decided to watch Wild Card at first (rerun on Sunday afternoon - we normally go out)and will catch CSI rerun on Sunday night. BUT i couldn't resist - it's CSI for heaven sake! Looks like i'm gonna totally miss Wild Card. *Blogging on tv shows? Isn't this pathetic?*
Gotto go. Need to return one important phone call.

Wonder
I always feel like i have a lot to blog but when i'm typing a new entry, those ideas/stories somehow dissapeared. Kapish. Why?
Wonder how you dreamt of going to the loo but couldn't really pee? It's a sign that your bladder is full and you really need to go. It somehow restrain you from wetting your bed. Well, most of the times. How do you explain that? Fascinating, isn't it?
We're gonna spend the weekend at Reviera Bay Resort, Melaka. Am looking forward to seeing my parents, Along's family and Chu Boy (and maybe his fiance). We're going to Umbai again for fresh seafood. Yummylicious!
It's a surpirse to the kids - my nieces and my monsters. They have not seen each other at all this year. That was quite long!

Yippeee!
Hope it's not too early to celebrate! *like i care*
Just talked to Bossy Boss with LS. April 15th marks the end of my tenure manning HRSC. I told him that i'd like to go back to my cubicle - real bad! LS helped convinced him that the HRAs will need to start the rounds as well. I don't really care who's gonna be next - as long as i don't have to sit here anymore! Yey!
I'll throw a 'kenduri' for my gang to celebrate the event next week!
Yeyyy!! Yippeeee!!!

Food.. again!
Adik had food poisoning – I think. He’s been passing stool (‘that’ specific kind) since Saturday. Went to see the doctor last night. Seems to be getting better but had a slight fever earlier this morning. Am taking half day to see how it goes.
He had a late night - watched Sepet with me. Yes people, I watched it for the second time. Maybe for a few more time to come coz I subscibed April’s channel 21. Found bits and pieces that I didn’t noticed when I watched it for the first time. Fascinating!
Was craving for briyani yesterday. Specifically the nice, colourful and yummy-smelling type. Managed to find Johor Briyani nearby Ampang Point. Not bad! So the revised list wold be:
Nasi Briyani M Shah at Benteng Batu Pahat
Nasi Briyani in Bukit Pasir, opposite of Maxis Center Batu Pahat
Restoran Rasyid at Wisma Central Jalan Ampang
Johor Briyani nearby Ampang Point
If u know any restaurant/place that serves yummy briyani, do let me know!
Had too much of nescafe last night. Both Deli and I decided to try the free bottle found in the gift pack from Srikandi’s dinner. We’re not coffee lover by nature so you can pretty much imagine what large tumblers of nescafe could do to our tummies. We slept at 2am with bloated tummies and after numerous visits to the loo.
Think I’m gonna visit the jamban again. Adehhhh…..

Ladies Night
Srikandi dinner was awsome!
Many of my batch couldn’t make it at the last minute so there were only 5 of us – Aske’, Azlul, Alin, Faniz and myself. Despite being seated at the back of the hall, our table was actually glimmering with stars. Faniz sang 4 songs and Suhaima, Ira and Sherry whom shared the table (from different batches of course), did a bit of unplug session while we stuffed ourselves with the six course Chinese servings. Mind you, we can really eat! We specifically told the waiters not to clear the table unless we say so. We even had our own pitcher on the table!
We managed to mingle without leaving our seats. People came over to say ‘hi’ and congratulate the performers and we ‘tumpang semangkuk’ by throwing hugs and kisses to those we know and exchange business cards with other lots.
Left The Lagend at 12 midnight. Macam Cinderella pulak! Heheh…

Ouch!
Deli and I was on leave yesterday. Spent most of the day at home - just the two of us. Kinda like a quality time for ourselves.
Had dinner at this fancy Thai restaurant in Great Eastern mall. Food was just okay but a bit pricey. Just after Deli was done with the bills, i suddenly get this sharp, splitting headache at the back of my head. At first i thought maybe it was the watermelon juice - it was ice cold! The kind of cold that numbs your brain. But somehow, the pain did not subside. Took a panadol and went to bed, hoping that the pain would eventually stop.
When i woke up this morning, it was still there but not as strong. Asked Deli to send the kids to school. Took my time to get ready and drove to lrt station. As if the pain was not enough, the train i boarded was damn hot! Apparently the air-conditioner refused to provide chilled air to the commuters. Thank God i survived the ride!
Am still having mild headache as i'm writing this. Think i'll pack and go home in a
few minutes.
Tomorrow's the grand alumni dinner. Might be there a bit early to help out the committees. Sounds like it's gonna be a pretty fun event. Will blog about it later.
Have a good weeknd people!
