The Redang Excursion

End August 2008

One week before Puasa, a group of us went to Redang Island to just get away from office and break away from the hustle-bustle of city life. I just wanted to rest. This trip was partly sponsored by the Persatuan. So it was very cheap.

We left KL on Thursday night by bus to Kuala Terengganu (KT). There were 30 of us altogether. So, memang lerr kecoh. Ramai yang aku tak kenal, but tentu dapat berkenalan nanti. Selepas subuh dan breakfast di KT, kitaorang naik bot ke Redang.

(waktu kat jetty tunggu boat)

Waktu sampai kat jetty, memula aku dah excited sebab nampak boat yg grand...alih2, naik boat kecik je. Hampeh!
(I dah berangan nak naik boat ni)

Dah le tu, boat tu pulak cakap for '12 passengers' only...walaupun dalam boat tu dah sumbat all 30 of us. (all 12 of us :-p)

Aku punya life jacket plak, punyalah kecik....nak zip pun tak boleh. So tawakal je lah. Nasib le perjalanan dari KT jetty to Redang kejap je. Fuuh! legaa.

We stayed at RedangKalong Resort. Quite OK lah resort ni. Aku tak le kekwat sangat, as long as ada proper and working toilet and shower. Aku dapat bilik sea front. Memang best. Nice view lagi. I was sharing with Sharil.
(santai depan bilik.. cuak gak takut kelapa jatuh :)

(right in front of our room... nice view)

Sepanjang 3 hari di sini, there were 3 snorkeling trips scheduled, plus ada team building activity. Disebelah malam nya pulak mainly activity bebas. I had my own plan. Instead of going on the snorkeling trips, I was busy snore-keling on my bed. Bongkang memanjang. Whenever, we have free time together, asyik main charade je. Kelakar gilerr... some were x-rated. Ha ha. Teambuilding activity pun best, habis pasir satu badan.

(with nicer beach... damn!)

But no regrets larr...dah lama tak buat benda2 cam ni. We left early on Sunday and lepak KT disebelah petang. Aku, Sue, Diba, Liza and kawannya si Diba (merangkap tour guide) sempat pergi ke Noor Arfah, Pasar Payang, Pantai Batu Burok and makan nasi dagang. Memang berbaloi.
(till next time)

I will definitely come back again!



I was just Happy to Help!

August 2008

I have a friend whose husband was suffering from hearing problem. He needed to undergo an operation soon enough before things get worse. Under our company policy, his operation would be covered by us. However, our human resource department had taken sometime to process his application for this procedure. So I had to intervene to expedite the process (while, of course, ensuring that we follow proper governance and procedure).

He is better now. And my friend sent me these lovely cupcakes to say thanks. How sweet and thoughtful. Thank you dear... you don't have to. The cupcakes were fabulous by the way :)


I'm Blogging Again

18 October 2008

Yes.. It's true! I'm blogging again after almost 3 month-break. I have been very much occupied for the past 3 months with work and other personal activities. My sister is getting married end of this year. That's a good news. At least one of us, hopefully, will start a family pretty soon. There are so many things to update. I promised myself that I will find time to do so. I also now have a facebook account. Must keep up with evolution in communication technology lah kan...

I'll be writing more soon.... till then... ta ta.
