Me, Us & Them

My company hosted a two days workshop at Avillion Admiral Cove, Port Dickson on 9 & 10 December 2010. All planners, buyers, General Managers and Finance department must make their presence. No one is exceptional and that is why the training was held during the weekdays as weekdays are working days (everyone has to come to work right?!). Kalau buat during weekends mesti akan ada yang bagi a long list of excuses on why they can't make it to the training. Good thinking!

So off we went on a Thursday morning. Everything went as planned. This is in fact the first time I'm actually in a program that is not on a janji melayu basis. We were scheduled to take off at 8am and arrived tentatively at 11am. We departed as planned and arrived about an hour early. Got our room key, freshen up a bit and off we went to our first session.

The objective was to enlighten on what we have been lacking; team work. We go to work everyday. We do our job as what has been instructed. We fight for things that we thought was right. Though we work on a team but we never really work as a team. We take credit on our own. We start blaming others when things go wrong so on and so forth.

But we never really question ourselves; am I a good employee/boss? Have I benefited others? How good my relationship with my colleagues/boss/team-mates?

So yea, it's good that we are reminded from time to time that we're actually working together as a team, not individually. We have to fix ourselves first before fixing others. And most importantly, we have to start communicating in order to work well with each other.

I didn't get the chance to take lots of photos. Here are just a few of what I have.

The CEO was trying his luck flying his version of an aeroplane.

Apart from the fun time I had, there was a slight mis-communication between the committee and the bus service company. The had forgotten to remind the bus drivers to pick us up at 3.30pm as scheduled but instead they've agreed to the time arrangement of picking us up at 7.30pm. Gila mengamuk semua orang. But the drivers managed to arrive at 5.30pm and we arrived KL safe and sound about 2 hours later. Knowing the traffic on a Friday night memang ma-fan.

Poyo bride2be update #6

I came home one evening and found this cute little thing lingered around the middle hall. Mak was so excited she just can't wait till I settle down and immediately shown the cute little thing to me. I was still with my bag on and my shoes were not even off after reaching home from work. As excited as she was, I am too!

It's called corsage but I think it has been mistakenly used by most bride-to-be(s). Corsage is known to be as a gift from a person to his/her partner and usually presented during a dance event/prom. But for weddings, it is the thing that family members tuck on the side of their clothes as to show that they are the family members or the person in charge for the wedding. But I still don't get it why it is called corsage.

So anyways, this cute little thing will be used among family members during the reception. Mak saw it at Semua House and it's very cheap too. She can't resisted it and bought it immediately. In a way, it saves up a lot of my time since I thought of diy-ing myself but since the thing is way cheaper than the cost of me diy-ing the corsage, I say why not?!



Cute kan?! *Cakap cute jugak walaupun tak cute*

All I need to do now is to figure out how to put a two ringgit note at it so that it will look presentable and does not kill the cuteness.

On the other note, mom has come up with a brilliant idea to renovate the kitchen where I'm about to get married in one month time. The house is officially in a mess and Uncle Yap the contractor is scheduled to start his constructing tomorrow. I don't know where on earth does she gets the idea of renovating the kitchen now where she clearly knows that we are having the kenduri at home in a month time. Uncle Yap has promised her that the kitchen will be ready in a week time. Can you even believe that? I don't think so.


This is how the middle hall looks like. You should see how it is now, it's even worst.

Perlukan kesabaran yang super tinggi. Breath in, breath out. Breath in, breath out.

Tahun baru

I hope it is still not too late to wish all muslim Salam Maal Hijrah. May this new year bring happiness and fill with His barakah and rahmah, Insyaallah.

I guess it's about time for me to "renew" my new year's resolutions. Not that I have over the past years but it's going to be a hell of a new year for me this year. Am not going to set a long list of resolutions as I may not follow, I rather set a few that I can cope with.

So, here it goes:-

1. Solat 5 waktu - I know I've been lacking some especially during working hours. I got caught up with work I tend to delay my solat and ended not performing them.
2. It's about time to hormat suami - Since I'm going to be a wife this year, Insyaallah, I guess menghormati suami is part of the responsibility. I may need time to adjust with this but I'm going to try the best I can. Dah 25 tahun hidup buat kepala tau sendiri, tiba-tiba dah nak kena hidup berdua, yea, I definitely need time.
3. To be more patience as I'm lacking of those.
   
4. And last but not least, to be a good muslimah generally.

I guess that's about it. Let's see how it goes as I know that I'm going to have hard time coping with it.

Ohh btw, I have no idea that today is actually a public holiday, not till everyone has been asking me what's my plan for Tuesday and I was like "haaa, kenapa dengan tuesday? kerja lah". Then only I knew that Tuesday is a public holiday.

On the other hand, I got my baju nikah yesterday and I must say that I'm totally in love with the baju. Super love. As much as I want to post about it, I rather keep it to myself. Nanti hilang lah seri baju tu kalau tunjuk sekarang. Tak surprise lah nanti. Excited*excited

According to the ticker

It's 1 Month, 1 week & 1 Day more to go..

Saja nak mem-poyo-kan diri di sini. Cantik nombor ni, boleh dijadikan sebagai nombor ekor kepada sesiapa yang berminat.

To Say I Do

Ok now back to work.

Wake me up when December ends

It's the fifth day of December, already?! What happen to January? It feels as if it was just yesterday where I got engaged and we are now nearly at the end of 2010.

A lot has happened in 2010. A fair share of ups and downs. But I must say that 2010 is really an eye-opener year for me. Though we are not officially there yet, I mean the end of 2010, but I must say that 2010 has been a very good year. A year where I've successfully transformed my inner self to be someone better. Kurang keras kepala dan lebih penyabar berbanding biasa kerana saya adalah seorang manusia yang langsung tiada tahap kesabaran di dalam diri. Most importantly, 2010 has been a recovery year for me as to compare to 2009. And I'm here, ready to wrap up 2010 with a huge happy smile on my face and welcoming 2011 with open arms. Super sexcited for 2011! *gelak setan style*

I've been pretty occupied with work lately. Work has been piling up high since.....since forever. Hence, the lacking of blog updating. And I've also been pretty excited over card delivery. Delivering invitation card makes me...hmm happy. Tinggal nak beli setem untuk yang harus di hantar menggunakan post. Itu yang masih tidak tahu, ye saya seboleh-boleh mahu meng-delivery sendiri kad kahwin saya kerana lebih mesra begitu padahal kedekut nak bayar setem sebab Pos Malaysia macam tuuut.

I've been having weird dreams for couple of days now. Most of them involving me and Penang. Mungkin rindu Penang kot, tapi ape hal?? About a year ago, me and the girlfriends, we have had the plan of visiting Penang again this year and have our night spend in Hard Rock Penang. Tapi bak kata melayu, kita merancang tapi tuhan yang menentukan. Berangan harus lebih. But I kept on dreaming over Penang. Pelik bin ajaib.

My future sister-in-law will be registering to UiTM by end of this month for her degree program tapi saya pulak yang excited lebih. Thought of following Izwan to send her sister sebab...hmmm malu nak cakap tapi saya sebenarnya tak pernah terfikir pon nak menjejakkan kaki di UiTM Shah Alam. Dah alang-alang kepalang, apa salahnya.

I guess that's all for tonight. Sweet dream lovers.
