Staff Annual Dinner 2009

Staff Nite datang lagi..... (macam iklan Tora plak...)

The Theme

TRADITIONAL - ARABIAN - PIRATES

How's my new fringe? ***wink wink***

Why so many themes? Some may ask... Ntahla, I don't quite like the idea of having more than 1 theme, but have to consider everybody, especially the 'Makcik-makcik'... After casting poll, those are the 3 highest votes...

The Sales team...

My (immediate) boss decided the whole department to wear something Arabian. - Egyptian precisely. So made a trip 2 Desa Sri Hartamas for costume rental. Gigih kn...

With Hannah & Sabrina...
The so called Cleopatra... LOL

Ya Habibi Ya Maulana...

The Performance

We choose Waheeda's Wassini as the theme song. I can say it was quite a disaster as it super duper last minute thingy... Hahhahahhaha....

When Egyptians meet Pirate & Pak Arab :D

All in all, I had a great time... Thanx to all the organizing committee esp. my beloved Sabrina yang chumelllsss.... Mwahhhhsx

Alhamdulillah

Alhamdulillah
When you open up your eyes in the morning,
There’s nothing else to do but say Alhamdulillah and be content,
When you have finished eating your nutritious breakfast,
There’s nothing else to but say Alhamdulillah and be content,
When you look into the mirror and see how lovely your smile looks, how handsomely dressed you are,
There’s nothing else to do but say Alhamdulillah and be content,
When you step into your well groomed car and wave good bye to your beautiful family,
There’s nothing else to do but say Alhamdulillah and be content.
It’s the little things ,
Ever so perfect,
That we often overlook.
As I am in my God-conscious moments,
Let me just say,
Alhamdulillah, Thank You Allah. We love You.

Uniquely Singapore - part 2 : Getting Around

Just to share our experience while we were in Singapore. This time i'll share some commuting mode while we were there. Do click here to recall my previous post on this trip.

Initially, we planned to drive over. Apparently after considering lots of advices from friends, Mutiara Hotel Manager & staff, and some opinion from from the net, we decided not to. Reasons :

- not sure of the routes there
- not familiar with the rules
- easy excess of MRT

--> Left the car Mutiara JB - thanx 2 Mr. Ravin, the Banquet Manager for giving us complimentary parking for a day - i just love this hotel la, service excellent!!!

--> Took a cab to the interchange

--> from the interchange, we took a bus to Kranji MRT and waited for hubby kak Linda... Naik lorry uols, 1st time- but we sat at the front part la... :)

At Singapore, basically we had 3 mode of travelling - MRT - bus - walk- if were to stay longer, I think we would have explored more...

MRT

This is our main commuting mode. There are 3 lanes : Green - Red - Purple.

Firstly, everything seemed too alien 2 us, but as we got the hang of it, it was as easy as ABC... katanya...

Just determine the desired destination, and see if it's the same lane, if it's not, find an interchange and get another MRT which goes to the destination.

For example, from Pasir Ris (Green lane) to Orchard (Red lane) :
stop at City Hall interchange - take MRT to Orchard

The ticket could be return after every trip and $1 will be refunded. But most Singaporean has MRT card, something like our Touch & Go thingy. Just top-up whenever the balance ran low. Tak perlu nak susah payah beli ticket everytime nak travel...

Scenario at one of the MRT station

One good thing i see here is most passenger wouldn't be sitting idly in the MRT. There must be something that they did during the ride such as reading, listening to ipod, playing games, or simply sleep :) etc...

This includes the girl next to me. She was busy reading her notes as she only gets up once the door was opened. Gigih kan...

It was a fun ride by MRT. Easy excess, nice view and could go almost anywhere we wished to...

Bus

We took bus from Pasir Ris to Punggol bus station. Saja nak merasa naik bus. Then we took MRT from Punggol to Indian Street. Felt so awkward as we hardly took bus in KL ... LOL... Told the driver to inform once dah sampai. Met lots of students heading to school on our way.

Quite an experience...

In the bus

At Punggul bus station

This pic was taken from MRT

Taxi

Besides taking taxi from the MRT station to the house in Pasir Ris, we also took taxi to the interchange. The charges were around $16.00. Ok la, reasonable. From Pasir Ris MRT Station to street 71 would cost around $3.60.

Basically the taxis in Singapore are reliable. Most of it operates using meters to determined the fares. So one could hardly be cheated when fares are concerned.

Walk

This the one of the most common mode of traveling besides MRT. We did lots n lots of walking more than we've ever did here. We walked from MRT station to the destination. Once we're stucked, we just find anyone and asked for direction.... Lalalalla...

We took this pic as the name of the jalan is the same as his hard disk nyer brand...
LOL

As we're walking and asked 4 direction, we met this guy with his mum. The best thing was, they were from Bandung - our favourite place... They were on vacation, 2... What a coincidence to meet them there...

What a long post... Sorry any boredom caused...

Need Opinion

Our Staff Annual Dinner is approaching soon...

The theme will be Traditional cum Arabian cum Pirates - banyaknya, makes me so confused n haywire...

Already got the costume - will be wearing some kind of Egyptian concept...

The problem now is - the performance... Need something simple yet fun...
Any idea????

Last year we did Aci-aci buka pintu - ratained P.Ramlee's voice just with some miming & actions...

Please bear in mind there are 5 ladies (mostly Mum & 1 tengah sarat pregnant) and 1 guys (yang x berapa nk sporting LOL)... Duhhhh... With all these obstacles, makes us so difficult to plan...

Helpppppppp.....

Loosing an Ex-Colleague

Takziah diucapkan kepada keluarga
Allahyarhamah Che Sharina Mohd Shain
(26 June 1983 - 21 April 2009)

Allahyarhamah was a former HR in my workplace. Such a sweet girl. Even though we were never close, but when we worked at the same place, terasa gak la kehilangan dia. Nak-nak lagi, our office is just next to each other. So selalu lah seat n chat 2gether. Her Dad was a former cabin crew, so whenever her Dad comes back n brought something, she will surely bring it over share with us.

I knew she had a kidney problem as both failed to function but I was so terkejut to hear about her passing. Yelah, she's so young...

Semoga ALLAH mencucuri rahmat ke atas rohnya serta ditempatkan di kalangan orang-orang yang beriman... Aminnnn....

AL-FATIHAH...

Island Way SORBET

Sorbet - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sorbet (pronounced sore-bay) is a frozen dessert made from sweetened waterfruit (typically juice or puree), chocolate, wine, and/or liqueur. The origins of sorbet have explained being either a Roman invention, a Chinese invention brought back by Marco Polo or from a Middle Eastern drink charbet, made of sweetened fruit juice and water. The term "sherbet"/"charbet" is derived from Turkish: şerbat/şerbet, "sorbet", which in turn comes from the Arabic شربات sharbāt^[1] flavoured with iced meaning "drink(s)" or "juice."

This is one of our latest crave besides Jco's Orange Freeze. Don't know y, bet we seemed to love the taste. It's frozen & sour - perhaps the the tangy flavor makes us in love n addicted to it.

It would taste better to give allowances around 5 minutes before consuming it. So it wouldn't be too icy n frozen and could feel the taste better .

we had Lemon sorbet

n Orange sorbet...

Besides those, there are also other flavours such as :
- coconut,
- Pina Colada,
- pineapple,
- red & green apple,
- mango,
etc....

Once we're done, can't help ourselves from scraping till the last drop... Korek, jgn x korek... (x get me wrong :) LOL

Licin uols...

Got it from Chicken King Restaurant, section 7, Bandar Baru Bangi...
Not sure if it's available elsewhere...

Happy Birthday my Dear

Just 2 say 'Happy Birthday' 2 my darlink T-300...

It's been a year since I have u in my arms...
Click here for those moments...

Still remember the 1st time I held u in my arms, way back on 12th April 2008 at Pikom PC Fair in KL Convention Centre, precisely. I was so glad & thankful to have u.

Even though u may not be as extensive n sophisticated as SLR does, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm happy with u, with your performance and everything that u've contributed 2 my life, all the pictures that u've captured, the wonderful that moments that u've stored and so much more...



Be it personal or official... Thanx for being there for me...

U know very well that I won't leave home without u... If that were so, there must've be some reason of me doing so... N I'll feel terribly awkward without having u with me. Despite the reason there's pictures to capture or vice versa, I still wanna have u by my side...

Thanx for making all my treasureble moments, memorable...

Happy Birthday my love... Luv u so much....

Genting Moments with In-Laws n Friends

Just to share some pics.

Checked out Anugerah Bintang Popular last weekend. I got tickets from Angeline Poon of Supplements Unit, Berita Harian. Thanx Angie... Apparently it was only 2 tickets, when I asked around Rajan & Capek had extra tickets. So invited my brother in law, K'roll & his wife Siti along...

It was last minute thingy. I finished work at 4pm. Balik umah- settle down as fast as i could and we departed 2 Genting at around 5 plus. Had dinner 1st at Mc'D Gombak before getting up 2 Genting. With all the rain n such, we finally reach the cable car station at 7.00 pm.

Tak sangka, sejarah naik cable car with Lyn & Fara berulang kembali LOL... Rupanya it was the 1st time for K'roll n CT , too... Muka cuak gils masa the cable nak leave the platform. Abg Sham siap scare dorg lagi by saying : nanti kan Ngah, pintu ni dia x tutup, bukak camni je sampai atas... LOL... N I was like, choi!!! Nanti tetiba xleh tutup betul2, baru padan muka... Mulut cabul....

We arrived Genting at around 7.45 pm... By the time we walked to Arena of Stars, it was almost 8. Called Rajan and he passed over the additional tickets...

Rajan seemed to 'shine' dat night as he was dressed in white sweater... LOL

Managed to have a seat at the VIP area, as ramai didn't turn up...

Wonder how MIL's reaction would be if she were to find out both her son & 'menantu' are checking out ABP...
Hahhahaha...

Thanx guys :)
L-R : Emma, myself, Capek, Zetty, Emma's bf & Rajan
Mana Gf Rajan? hehheheh

We rushed back to the Cable Car station to get there by 12.00mn. Wouldn't wanna take Awana Cable car as it was so like Gondola n uncomfortable. Thanx goodness we made it on time...

There we are, went up in a rush & got back in a hurry, too... Fhewwwww....

Dropped by Kg. Baru's Nasi Lemak for supper. Arrived Shah Alam at around 1.30am and pengsannnnnnn.........

Owh! what a long day... Started with showcase on Saturday - Mont Kiara - PakLi - Work - Genting - and back to work on Monday - till 2day... Syukur Alhamdulillah M still ok as my off day will only be next week... Enuff said...
