Concert & Carnival

Last weekend was lots of fun. Saturday, went to Giant at Gombak (or is it considered Batu Caves?) with my dearest Sunshine to meet up with Anie & Remie. Anie talked 'bout the latest Prudential product. Time to think 'bout financial planning and investments. If ur looking for a great Prudential agent, look no further (hehe...dah advertise business ko nih, tade commission ke Anie?). After that, a little shopping n off to Sunshine's house. She asked me to teach her to cook nasi goreng kampung. So, tunjuklaa skill yang tak seberape nih. Heheh...sedap tak? We prepared the ingredients and I helped her with the cooking according to my recipe. We finished cooking just in time for the AF concert finals. That nite layan AF with her mom and aunt, whilst having nasi goreng kampung fresh from the stove.



Sunday, me & Sunshine volunteered to help out at Sekolah Impian Charity Carnival. It's my brother Haziq's school; a school for speacial children located near Titiwangsa. The charity carnival was officiated by the Minister of Women, Family & Community Development, Dato' Seri Shahrizat and the mayor of KL, Datuk Ruslin. My dad was the chairman of the event. There were lots of stalls at the charity carnival; parents & teachers selling mostly food & drinks using pre-bought coupons. Me & Sunshine were selling karipap. Supposedly have to be there early bcos kene goreng the karipap first before people start to arrive. Tapi my brother lambat bangun plak, n then had to wait for him to deliver the karipap n stuff. So, a bit latelaa but still manage to sell. We had a few coupons ourselves, so memang banyak gak makan that day. All in...quite fun and pretty much tired by the end of it.

Frustrations & Happy Occasions

Arrgghhh..!!! Needed to get that out of my system. Within the past 2 months, 6 of my colleagues have tendered their resignation for greener pasteurs. Good for them...congratulations! On the other hand more work for me.. huhuh! I'm swamped with more work as a result, coz 2 of my colleagues who have resigned are from my unit. Now all their responsbilities are mine! Can't blame them tho, coz presently it's a contract base job. Good benefits like medical, but no financial security or career advancement oppurtunity. Man, I gotta start looking for another job myself; with more pay and better oppurtunities. Anyone out there in need of my services, please let me know. I have a degree in Telecommunications Engineering with over 2 years of working experience. How's that for a little plug, hehe...

Now on with the happy occasions; I'd like to congratulate my cuzin Anis on his engagement to Aina. Need any help on your wedding, I'm there for you man!

Also, last weekend went out and watched 2 movies; The Lake House & Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest. The former a love story of sorts starring Keanu Reeves & Sandra Bullock. Liked it a lot; very sweet but need to watch it with an open heart and not think to much on the plausibility of the plot. Just enjoy it as is. The latter... what can I say that others have not.. Johnny Depp totally rocks! As Captain Jack Sparrow, he can do no wrong. The story is interesting and the effects are awesome. Watch out for the Kracken! (did I spell it right?) I think almost all of the original cast returns to the sequel which ends with a cliffhanger & a surprise! Definitely can't wait for the next sequel coming out next year.

So despite some frustrating elements in my life, there are still happy moments to keep me sane and hopeful of the future. In between that, just do stuff to keep my mind of it and enjoy life while u can.
