Humble vs the best....

I have to admit.... work in HQ currently is not as busy as it used to be when I was in State...
I was browsing through some other people's blogs last Monday when I realized that I have been doing nothing for more than half day already.... Believe me... boredom is unavoidable when you have nothing to do.... Not the whole truth actually... There was something to finish up, but I chose not to... Not that urgent anyway... Hmmm.... Sounds like me alright..!!!!

There was one sentence in a blog that reminded me of mine... It says...
"Maybe it is hard to be humble when you are the best....."
I tried to digest that.... Is that true?? Does it mean that if you want to stay humble you should never go for the best???

No wonder I'm just here...!!! Hihihi....

Thank you.......

Yesterday was the third time I attended "Perhimpunan Setia" here....

KP talked about raya holiday planning..... work arrangement, office saftey precaution etc... the normal stuff... he mentioned that he'll be on early and long raya holiday.... to spend more Ramadhan with his mother this time...

I guess the most interesting talk yesterday was the story told by P(L)....

Titled "Budak Nasi Campur".... on how a boy who was angry and dissatisfied with his mother ran out from home... a clear rebellious act... and how he then later realized that he was hungry... yet no money to buy food.... he stopped at a restaurant... peeking the dishes, tasting the dishes only in his own imagination...
The owner neared him.... "Are you hungry??? You can have anything you want to eat... Just choose what you want and fill up your stomach..."
Obviously, an offer the boy could not deny... Quickly filled up his plate, with many and repeated thanks to the owner....
The owner neared him again... once the boy finished up his meal.... "What happened to you? Why are you here alone?".... and the boy told him the whole story...
"Young boy, you have just met me.... yet you have thanked me many times for the meal. Your mother made you food, do your laundry and many things more.... How many times have you thanked her????..."

Hmmm.... Thank you Mak... Ma.... Ibu... Mummy... Mama...

Our loved ones....

Today is exactly two years since I lost my grandfather... Tok Ba...
And all the memories with him and with my late grandmother replayed in my mind...
Two people with lots of love to give others, in their own way...
Two people whom I'm very grateful to know...

Staying with my aunt now, we sometimes talk about the good old days...
How the grandkids were happy when Tok Ba was back home... for there were always something for us in his pocket... sweets, Kandos choc. etc..
And how we look forward hearing the ice-cream seller's bells... of course follwed by the ice-cream treat...

It brought tears whenever I think of them... The same tears Lina shed, when thinking of her late mum... Sorry dear I don't help you much... Be strong girl..!!!

Please.... al-fatihah to all the arwah....

Some time, not long ago.....

It is still fresh in my mind...... A year and two months ago.... while Adik L (who is now officially Adik P - BFull and D) and me were looking and searching for some friendly faces to start our stay in the new place..... lucky for us, someone offered an opening.....

"Hangpa takdak tempat lagi kan...!!! Jom la lepak bilik aku dulu..."

I just can't describe how relieved I was at that time.... I guess Adik L felt the same...

And that was how the bonding goes....

Time runs fast.... and to some it flies.... ;) A year and two months is gone.... All the things that we shared, the fun, the bitterness.... just too difficult to be described....

KD.... I still don't know what to say ;).... Thanks for being who you are.... For being someone who does everything in a very special way..... Your own way.....

What an eventful week....

How can I describe this week???
The working week started okay.... nothing much on Monday....
Tuesday was a public holiday... yet I was at work from 11am till 4pm... and by being there forced the JKR personnel to be there too.... hahaha.... pity him.... still.... "cik, blok D takder letrik lagi..." arghhhhh..... thanks to the contractor who was there till 11pm....
Wednesday started by being late to work... ended with movie with Lina... Thor.. the second time to me... and catching up with a friend on fb.... interesting conversation....
Thursday.... with my year 4 class.... hafiz got himself an FB account... how excited he was..!!!
Friday.... and there's the news.... officially with the letter.... argghhhh....

By the way.....
Adik L who turned adik B Full last month has successfully upgraded himself with D... so, he is now Adik B Full and D.... don't play play.....
KD got himself a nasyid group.... known as INTIM....
X-boss is now driving a BMW.... caya lah boss....
