Good morning September!
What I have in September?

A 12-weeks project development plan gonna kick off today

Audit sessions here and there

5days external training course

Moving office from this level to that level

My boy will sit for his grade8 piano exam

Sunday school teachers gathering

Moon cake festival cell group gathering - tanglung and children~

2 closed heart birthday celebrations

My another half would be away travelling

2 public holidays!

Business as usual. Continue to eat enough, rest well, work hard then repeat the cycle. Shall welcome October in real soon when the scheduler seems packed everyday in September.



So how was your merdeka weekend going on? Laogong went out for a good gathering with friends.. While me taking care the bbb at home.. Not so obedient children nowadays.

2 gals fighting in the room then I asked the youngest to get out from the room to stop the fight. Then the non-stop-crying-for-nothing gal locked herself in the room, while I was doing laundry.

Then it was time for the boy music class and the bag was in the room. We called and called for the gal to open the door but she didn't answer..


Few adults knocking the door and shouting for door opened but failed... So got the uncle to break in the room.. She was sleeping @_@

Sunday morning we went to church. The sermon shared was on patriotism.

提摩太前书 2:1-3
我劝你第一要为万人恳求、祷告、代求、祝谢，为君王和一切在位的，也该如此，使我们可以敬虔、端正、平安无事地度日。
I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone-- for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.



The boy served in praise and worship with his classmates. This is one way to train children confidence and ability to handle the crowd.


After the Sunday school class, the gal's teachers wanted to see me... My gal buat hal in the class again, that affected the whole class learning atmosphere. When I shared about I was having the same difficulty in handling the gal, 1 of the teachers asked me to be patient, maybe the gal is having hormone change, and she might have her 1st period coming soon @_@ wouldn't it be early, I am not ready for my gals to turn to big gal yet hmmm.. For time being, let me beat with the mood swing 1st.


Makan Makan with children


Like the family time


Like to see children trying new things, like to see laogong is being with us ^^


On merdeka day, children went to grandparents house. I stayed home to clean the house and do some wall pasting..


Listening to the songs while doing house works. Recommend this song list of you like acoustic songs ^^


Few teachers came to my house in the evening for the teachers gathering activities preparation. I served them this lotus leaf wrapped rice and kyoto green tea. 5 women chit chatting for serious stuff with laughters, I enjoyed the bonding :)


Well, is time to change my merdeka profile pic to welcome September. Got laogong to snap pic with me.. Obviously, we are not like youngsters who can snap very sweet and romantic couple pic..


This is ours :P

Happy September!

2808 we are one

Short update for today

Sis said she wanted to have a hair cut. I always like new hair cut, it is a immediate change of mood state. Plan to change my hairstyle after Cny2016.. Let the hair grow longer for 6 months, see if I can bear with it or not hehehe..

Been reading and following Bersih4.0 rally updates. Keep sharing the important preparation notes to closed on who will be joining the gathering. Impress with the event management, and nations who are caring for each other. Too many things have been anticipated to get all participants ready. Can see program management skills here.

Told children to go prayer meeting tonight. Want to pray as a church for the country. Pray for God's mercy towards Malaysia this beautiful country. Bless us all the nations especially for those who will be at the field for this weekend with His strength and protection.


诗篇 27:6
因为我遭遇患难，他必暗暗地保守我；在他亭子里，把我藏在他帐幕的隐密处，将我高举在磐石上。 For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock.

Malaysia celebration 58th Independence Day. Hope we have a brighter future here.


From now on, we are one. Because we love Malaysia.

Merdeka x7

Kita Malaysia
Kerja bersama
Tak kira bangsa
Satu Malaysia

This morning again I listened to namewee's merdeka shuffles 4.0, touched with the insight of the lyrics and the storyline of all nations gather together and celebrate the differences for this lovely country.

In our daily life, things are still happening the same - we have friends and colleagues of different races, we speak multilingual, we eat traditional foods of Malaysia...

This morning, I went to a kopitiam for breakfast. There wear no empty table for me, so I shared the table with a Chinese-look alike Malay. With sign language, I asked for the seat. Then my bihun goreng and kopi-o came... I made a thanksgiving prayer.. Then the encik smiled at me..

"Masih ingat lagi bapa saya bawa saya datang sini dari darjah 2..." Then we started chit chatting like how I normally chit chatting with my Malay colleague in the office. We talked about the kopitiam, he showed me which pakcik who been working since the 1st day he came to this kopitiam. Talked about the nasi lemak, famous foods surrounding this area.. Then where I stay and work, where he stays and work.. How he invests with minimal risk, how I travel across the regions for audit.. We talked about global economy, we talked about petrol price, we talked about harmony Malaysia.. We talked about ikan patin at East Coast Malaysia and bah kut teh in klang..

He is 52 years old. Don't know to call him pakcik or encik, as he looks young. He was coughing, then he said he been feeling not well for nearly 1 month, weight lost from 80+ kg to 72kg.. We talked about government hospital, we talked about Malaysian modern township.. We talked about the development of Malaysian public transport.. We talked about our young generation..

We talked about many Malaysian topics. All topics that show we are living in a harmonious community that people are loving each other and goodness that this country have brought to us. Yes, this is indeed the nation is feeling. As the encik pakcik mentioned "Kita hidup sama saja, minum kopi makan bihun baru berapa ringgit, yang rasa sangat tu kalau orang yang kat atas tu nak hidup mewah dan nak beli barangan berjenama.."

Yup. Typical Malaysian chatting topics reminded me Malaysia is a country that is filled with love, understanding and acceptance. Hopefully the sky of Malaysia turns bright sooner and together we celebrate the real independence of all nations. If you would watch the black and white video clip of Tunku Abdul Rahman shouting 7times of 'Merdeka!' with the nations as background of the videos, you feel the true 'kemerdekaan' that we been longing for..



Malaysia Sehati Sejiwa

Demi... tanah yang bertuah
Taman... cinta merdeka..
Kasih... di hatiku ini
Untukmu... tanah pertiwi...

Dari... utara selatan
Juga... timur ke barat
Turut gagah... Sabah Serawak
Sehati Sejiwa

Ku dengar janjimu
Bayu Kinabalu
Ku dengar sumpahmu
Rejang yang membiru
Bersatu denganku
Tegap Titiwangsa
Malaysia Sehati sejiwa

Laut luas terbentang
Bukan satu halangan
Untuk kita bersama
Melafaz janji setia
Demi mu Malaysia
Cinta kasih di jiwa
Tidak akan kami khianatinya.

Walaupun berbeza
Budaya Agama
Bukanlah penghalang
Kita bergandingan
Marilah bersatu

Sehati sejiwa

Malaysia Kekal Sejahtera...

What will be, will be

When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother
What will I be
Will I be pretty
Will I be rich
Here's what she said to me

Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be



Today is shyuan's nanny daughter bday.. I have prepared an emergency bday gift for her :D


Got the baby girl to be the angel to send the gift to the bday gal. Age of 18, how sweet it is. Sis and I were talking about the nice bday greeting for 18 years old gal, we googled some of the nice one, and funny one :p

Recalling my age of 18. When I was graduating from my secondary school.


Was not wearing pinafore at that age, wearing as a prefect. When I preparing myself for last week office team building, I bought this uniform set. I look funny, round and short >< but I was in the happy young mood as my colleagues were.



Roommate @cherating villa


From age 20-50+ we were just feeling like students :p


From top to bottom, no matter which position we are, all being crazy in that day


All gals


Killing cute pose


All boys


Gangster lazy look


Samseng konon la


With bosses


With my teammate


The youngsters


With a bunch of students :p


Hehe


These 2 can compete for the best dress award ^0^


We sing for the patriotic night


We dance with patriotic songs


Speedy Gonzales led by the department office


Surprised special performance from the bosses and team to the members :D


OC for this round team building :D


Hope next year we can have similar good one :)

Till then, whatever will be, will be

Monday itch

Well, feeling not comfortable now, been having vaginal infection since last week. Think of my sis went thru this for few years, I am quietly deal with it, hopefully with the antibiotic sub, I am getting well soon.

Today is 24th of August. So fast, 3rd quarter of 2015 going to be closed and left only the final quarter of 2015 - to fight for 2015 work performance, to realise personal 2015 resolution. Malaysian national day is in this coming weekend, are Malaysian ready for bersih4.0 public meeting? No matter what, we just hope to have a peaceful and harmony country to live in.

What am I up to? For this week, few important appointments to be handled in the office. Many follow ups especially after a week away for last week. Last week colleague and I went for regional office audit at temerloh and kuantan.

Then followed by department team building "bee back to school" at cheating. Road trip is tiring. But the car ride allowed us to see the nature beauty as well as the pollution of these beautify cities. Will share photos in coming posts, as I have transferred photos from my phone to laptop.


Last weekend, laogong cleaned the house fans. The boy trying to reach out. Well, he can manage this soon :p

I was a good girl to clean my desk at home :D bought some small racks so my computer and printer got a new seating.


Got the 2 bb followed me to buy the rack..


And the boy fixing it for me :D


Children set the new schedule for computer using. So (hopefully) no more fighting after this..


Tried new Korean food on Saturday


Like the food.












That night, the 2 gals locked themselves in their room. Then I noticed that, 2 of them started cleaning their messy room. I felt happy about this. This reminded myself - be an example for your children to follow, this is the best parenting way for wanting children to follow what you want them to do. Pity the 2 gals as it was nearly 11pm 'let's clean the room in this coming long weekend, I will help you all' :)

On Sunday morning, went for Sunday service, the pastor shared about importance of God's word to grow our souls. After Sunday school class, I got myself an afternoon nap.. Till the evening. Laogong cooked very good aroma dinner.

Thanks for laogong and children for letting me got a good rest over the weekend after the 4 days car ride to East Coast. Suddenly feeling my bbb have grown up, and my man is more lovely :p

Till then. Happy week ahead!

Raya Party

Yesterday we got 2015 raya celebration in the office. Lots of delicious Malay food! Varieties of choices from different types of curry, nasi beriani and nasi dagang, ketupat and nasi impit, roti jala, rendang, sweet and spicy gravy, fruits and kuih raya...

The dress code is traditional costume. Since I don't have cheong sum, and I can't fit in my sis's cheong sum.. I bought myself a new set of baju kurung.


Pic with my team mate. Can you see how many layers I fold for the kain? I am short!


Surprisingly, we got the best dress for non-Malay wearing traditional suit ^0^ boss asked me for a cat walk @_@ before I got the prize.. "Now let people take your photo"


Errr.. Shy shy ok when all eyes are on you.. Hopefully, my smile and my cartoon cat-walking brighten someone's bad day if there was any :)


So this is the rumble team for 3years? Each of us in the department belongs to a team. So whenever there is games or team building, we would be together and strike for the champion! APPY our team was the rumble king for year in year out games and competition. Proud to be in the team which everyone is passionate towards team building and team spirit. The sad thing is, yesterday game was the last for this existing team, we going to restructure the teams to allow remixing of everyone since the same members were together for few years. We going to rebuild the new teams by next week.. Well, hope the fun and joy continues in the new team, and we got better collaboration:)


This is my boss's direct report team. The one in black is the head of department and my boss. In pink is my partner. The one in orange tudung is department sis to take care all of us and PA to boss :) there are 4 team leads in the department (1 is not in the pic). The 2 youngest gals are company management associates. They normally serve in a department for 6 months then they move to another new job function. Guess what's the name for this so called management team? DLL - dan lain lain :P


Group photos of the day!
Can you spot me - the shortest?



Duit raya in CNY packet.
Best dress in raya packet :)

People change. People come and go. Some of the colleagues here are my ex colleague 10+ years ago, then we meet again in this department. Some are my ex-supervisors from or not from this department.. What I am trying to say is, treasure each of the relationship built with your colleague and people surrounding you. One day, they might be your boss, your team mate.. So don't hate but love :)

After yesterday gathering, we are looking forward to next week department team building outing. Am one of the 2 committees :p so upcoming communication to the department is ready to blast out from today onwards ^^

This is one of the fun and rewarding moment when we are as a working mother compare to full time housewife.

Till then, Happy Thursday!
