Pre-May Day

Dear all

Woke up to a bright and sunny day. Going to East Coast beach to see the May Day crowd camping there. However, when I reach my bike at the carpark, I was fuming. The box on my bike has been forced open. 2 helmets and a raincoat was missing. The raincoat was a Christmas present from dearie. The 2 helmets, though they are old, has serve me well these past few years. Really sad. Now I curse the person or persons who did all these.

Went back home to get my other helmets before going to JB to pump petrol (I had 6 helmets in total previously). After that, met up with dearie and had lunch at Adam Road. The nasi lemak there was delicious. We proceeded to East Coast beach shortly after lunch. I was telling dearie that the beach will be crowded due to the long weekend. I was so wrong. When we reached there, its almost deserted just like any weekday. How I miss that time during CNY 2003 when my whole family and extended family went camping at East Coast. Plus some other many families who happened to have the same idea. ECP was so crowded that time.

The weather is great for beach-going today. Was so sunny but windy. Regret my decision to not bring any beach-wear.Dear took this picture of me and her necklace. I look like a hip-hop rapper with all the bling-bling.Side-potrait of dearie.Just a handful of campers. Wrong camouflage though.Credit goes to my personal assistant, my ever-loveable dear. She carried all the kits.

After ECP, we headed to Punggol beach. The last time I'm there was 12 years ago. Took such a long time to reach there as we got lost. Was also roasted on the way as the heat from the sun was so hot. Was there for a while only as nothing much to see. After that, we rent a DVD titled 'Infection' to watch at my house. Plotless, mindless illogical. Please give this movie a miss, seriously. In the evening, send dearie to CCK as she had to go to her friend's housewarming. Now I'm sunburned and my skin feels very hot.

Thank you

The end of a relaxing Sunday

Dear all

Woke up early today to a beautiful Sunday. What did I do today, basically slack big time at home except for a few moments outside. Firstly in the morning, dearie and me went to the market with my mum and little brother, hehe. So crowded. In the day, we went to a photoshop to print a self-potrait of ourselves but the computer is unable to read my memory card. What a wasted trip. In the evening, we watched the grand finals of the Dance Floor. Congrats to Vas and Pris, deserving winners in my opinion.Dear looks so cute and photogenic in any photo, unlike me.

Oh and I also wanna welcome Frankie, my friend at work to the blogging community. Hope you have fun here. And yes Norain, we can set up a blogging forum soon once Liah starts to blog as well.

Relaxing Sunday

Dear all

Off day today and for next 3 days as well. Will only be back on Thursday morning to start my cross-training. Work yesterday was OK, knocked off early. Going to miss my AM duties.

Fetched dearie from her work and went to my house. Before that, rented 2 DVDs titled 'The Banquet'(Daniel Wu, Zhang Ziyi) and 'The Marine'(WWE superstar, John Cena). Don't bother on the latter, save the money. A real cheap production movie.

Next day, took some pictures.

Paramedic Helmi

Dear all

After morning shift today, received a call from my mum. My little brother Ismawadi had a fall in school causing a deep cut in the area behind his left ear. Doctor certified no stitches needed but to bring him to hospital if he started to vomit or fell drowsy.

So my mum requested me to clean up the wound once I reach home. It was indeed a deep cut, about 1.5 cm. When dressing the wound, little brother was in pain. The bleeding however has subsided. I wouldn't say I make a good job at it but its better than nothing.


Very, very short video of my spastic face at work.

Thank you all

To more stress I come

Dear all

On my second morning shift today. 2 more to go. Now, I dislike doing morning as there's more things to be done. And we also will go back much later. Worse is the many bosses around who will disrupt operations now and then.

Oh yes, I'm heading to a new challenge in May. Going to be cross-train as a DM. Now, seriously having my doubts.

High level visit

Dear all

On morning shift today. Was visited by the daughter of one of the owner of the property. Basically, she's doing a survey on the hotel industry as well as some other projects, all relating to hospitality services. I was assigned to talk to her about my job. Started off by showing her the departments and the hotel room but halfway through, she ask me to go for a cup of coffee. Even though I'm still on duty, how can I refuse her, hehe. Had a nice chat with her as she posted questions to me. Really a humble lady.

After work, had dinner with Rynn and Elfie. Rynn had just done her clearance and now shes free from work commitments. Even though its sad to see her go, I think its good for her as well. Good luck and take care is all I can say.

Was damn sleepy on way home. On morning shift again tomorrow. Gonna try to sleep early.

Soccer game

Dear all

Still on Off today so as I am free, supported the soccer team of one of the departments of my workplace. The team also consist of various players from other departments. Finally, they registered their first win in 8 matches with a scoreline of 7-2. Congratulations.

Here are some pictures to share the moment.The teamHat-trick hero of the day, Fazli Jr.

Thank you.

Dont look back part 2

Dear allJust finished watching the movie. Not scary at all. The Thai movie 'Shutter' and Singapore's 'The Maid' is much much better. But give it a shot as the way how the characters exorcise the ghost are similar to real life.

Don't look back

Dear all
Dearie and my 2 little brothers was on my bed. As a result, I had to lie on the floor. Such audacity.
As I lay on the floor, my 2 little brothers attacked my lappie.
Had late dinner at a food court. Shes watching TV on the big screen while I'm eating our murtabak.
Went to JB after that. Bought the DVD titled' Jangan pandang belakang' (translated: Don't look back in Malay). It's the new horror movie in Malaysia. Thought of watching it when reached home but no one to watch with me so will watch later in the day, hehe.

Just me

Dear all

For this post, I decided to post only my pictures, dearie's and pictures of objects or animals. Lets start with a few days back. 2 days ago on Saturday, met up with dearie for dinner before I start my midnite shift. After that, was waiting for her bus to arrive that we snap some photos via my camera phone.
While on my last midnite shift just now, I snap a few pictures of myself. (Camera phone)
After work, fetched dearie from her house. While waiting for her, took more pictures. (Camera phone)We spotted this cat lazing around near my bike. So cute. (Nikon D40)Having satisfied myself with photo-whoring, I experiment with my other lens at home. Took some more shots. (Nikon D50)
Thank you all.

Farewell

Dear all

Work was crazy today. The computer system came back late due to an error. Luckily, it came back just on time coz after that many guest arrive and depart at the same time. So lucky. Must be because of Mayte's and Suew's first nite shift. Different people bring different luck. Anyway, todays the last day of work for Rynn aka Giggs. Only the selected ones knew the reason behind this nickname.

Me and Rynn. I'm damn tired after my midnite shift lor, thats why face like that. Kamaliah Kamis and Rynn Khamis, the 'so-called' sisters.
Liah's new water bottle. Cute.
Oh yes, this message is for Sadiq. Don't wait any longer. Pursue your dreams. You are the chosen one.

Triple F (Feeling Fast and Furious)

Dear all
Felt like a speed demon today. Jamadi aka Jamban send me and Craig (My Duty Manager) home today after work. Work was busy in the morning with a lot of unexpected departures. Anyway back to the topic, finally attain enlightenment with regards to the true meaning of fast and furious. Jamadi's driving was fast.

Fast car = fast driver.

Never been in a car that fast before. Yesterday on way to work was fast. Today going home from work was faster. I swear that my heart skip many beats while sitting in the front passenger seat.
Full view.
Mini replica of his car.Just fooling around.The car has revealed itself.Jamadi at work, hehe.

Midnite blues

Dear all

I'm halfway through my 3rd midnight shift. Time is so draggy, if only the shift would end soon. Dearie is back from KL. She reached earlier at close to midnight. As mentioned in my previous post, Jamban send me to work in his car. Its a Subaru 1.6 TS, I think thats what the car model is. Very fast and very cool.

Have made up my mind, I'm going to get a car soon. But first, I need to get my car license.

Lonely me

Dear all

After 5 days on leave, 4 days of training and 1 day on OFF, I'm back on desk duty performing the dreaded midnight shift. Was so busy throughout. Couldn't really say did a good job but well, who cares anyway. After work, took the MRT home with Jam, short for Jamadi or the new name which I gave him, JAMBAN which is a slang for toilet in malay. hehehe. As usual, the restless me took some pics while in the MRT.

Jamban caught on candid.
The MRT on way home.
Dear is away to KL. Her company sent her there for site inspection. Thank goodness it's just for 2D1N. Heres a song for her.

Siew Ching lies over the ocean,
Siew Ching lies over the sea,
Siew Ching lies over the ocean,
Oh bring back my Siew Ching to me.

Escape to Newton

Dear all

Cindy, being the idiot.
Yesterday, Monday was the last day of Fidelio training for 2 new staffs and 3 ex-staffs. Hope all goes well. After work, met up with dearie for late dinner. I had a craving for sambal sotong and she for sambal kang kong so off we go to Newton. Yay.

The studious look.
She like her Pepsi.
I'm waiting for the food.
After the meal, she's full.
Today was my off day. Fetched dearie to her school to get her stuff. After that, went to JB to pump petrol for my bike before going back to my home and slack around.
