Trip to Kuantan

We were off to Kuantan for a short trip last weekend due to the
Thaipusam holiday on Monday... during our staff party
last year, I was quite lucky... dapatla one of the lucky draw...
2 days 1 nite @ MS Garden Hotel....hhmmmm... mula2 a bit
frustrated...of all the nicest hotel in Kuantan.. apala dapat
MS Garden... why not Hyatt or Legend or Impiana or
Swiss Garden which are located at the beach area....
But since dah dapat... okay ajelaaa rather than nothingkan.....

So last Saturday, we redeemed that voucher for the free stay
and the following day, my dearest booked Hyatt for another
nite. Not much of activities kat MS Garden as the hotel is
located in the town... The kids only get to enjoy the pool..

Then the next day, we moved to Hyatt... Nice resort hotel
located at Teluk Cempedak beach.... The current was
really strong during high tide.... I was playing with the waves
dekat tepi beach...sekali felt like the waves is pulling me...
Really strong one!! So terus ajak the kids to swim at the
hotel's pool which is safer....

On our way back to KL, we stopped @ RNR Temerloh...
guess what... i tapao 2 pieces of Ikan Patin Masak Tempoyak....
This is one of my favourite food... Temerloh is very well know
for their Ikan Patin.... Patin Buah la... Patin Sangkar..
i dont know the difference but people said patin buah taste
nicer and more expensive... masak dgn tempoyak lagi...
memang best!! heaven!!! sampai makan bertambah2....
i've no regret when comes to my favourite .. hehehe....

Termination

I called my friend "Ms A" this morning as i found out that she
had been terminated by her employer. She has been working
for this company "B" for just 4 months.

No verbal warning.
No warning letter given.
Not even a performance review is done.
The employer just terminated her for NO valid reason.
Poor "A"... She is a person whom I know is very determine,
career minded, and will do everything all out...

Last week, she was called by the boss in his room.
Thinking that the boss might want to review her performance
but instead, she was given the termination of service letter..
Stunned and shocked, she argued with the boss but he was
not able to produce a solid reason. "A" then wrote an email to
the VP who's based in the neighbouring country. According to
Mr VP, in order to terminate an employee, a person
need to have at least one warning letter but in her case she
did not have any.

For all she knew, the boss actually has a plan to hire
someone who he thinks is better in terms of experience and skills.
Immediately on the next day after the incident, the new
staff was hired. What a plan!!

She has now a solid case.
She's going to fight for her pride and dignity...
I wish I could help her but I can just give my moral support..
Wish her all the best and hope she could find a much better
place to land..

I feel very grateful that during this tough time, I still have a job
and $$$ to earn... Alhamdulillah....

Sunway Lagoon trip

I had a big birthday celebration this year... Big party?? Nooo...
My birthday actually falls on the Chinese New Year, 26Jan...
Wahhh..meriah betul my bday this year...
susah susah jer korang bakarkan mercun....
thank you...thank you... to cher...sher sher nie....

We went to Sunway Lagoon... It was my idea....I was thinking
sure tak ramai orang coz the Chinese will definitely be at home
celebrating their auspicious day but I was wrong!!!
The place was damn packed with Malays, Indians and other
races!!! Menyesal la pulak... Since we were already there...
takkan nak balik...so we all redah aje... Hubby bought Two Parks
tickets (wet and dry park)..So we started with the Dry Park..
We enjoyed most of the rides...yg basah baju...yang terbang
melayang...yang menjerit macam orang gila...we tried almost
everything...i really cannot tahan those rides which spin like a
top... my head was spinning too.... jalan pun dah macam orang
mabuk .... but it was fun!!!

Later we proceed to the Wet Park... it was very crowded at the
wave pool.... Again..no choice...masuk aje... Two hours later,
we decided to pack and take shower before we leave.. but
UNFORTUNATELY, again the shower room was like sardine
sampai the whole place was flooded about 1/2 mtr....
gelinya nak mandi... I then decided to just change baju and take
shower at home..

On the way to the parking, hubby ajak to have
dinner in Sunway Pyramid...Alamak...I havent shower yet,
takkan nak pergi dinner kot... But if I say NO, I might have
to prepare something for dinner at home...which I dont think
i want to do...NO WAY...It's my day and I'm the queen...
no way babeh!!! So hentam ajela...as though people know that
I tak mandi... Anyway we had a lovely dinner in Tony Roma's....
Moi ordered the famous Rib....hubby decided to try Scampi Pasta,
my little girls go for Fish n Chips.... Guess what... I totally
forgot to take picture gara2 dah lapar tahap dewa dewi....
didn't crossed my mind at all to take out my camera.... on the
way back home suddenly boleh teringat that i forgot
to snap the pic of our meals..... tooo late laa!! Anyway the food
was superb and fantastic!!! Try the Rib and Onion Loaf !!

the Niagara falls...habisss basahh....

this one really make me pening....

farhana on the carousel...

chubby was sooo happy...

hhhmmm...bibik pun teringin jugak....

farhana managed to push their plane to the highest level...bravooo!!!

It's quite late already...Everyone is now in their dreamland...

Good nite and sweet dream Laracroft!!

I'm back...

It's been such a long time... like almost one month since my

last update.... lamanyaa.... i really missed the blogging world...

i missed updating my blog... i missed reading other blogger's blog....

i missed to put my comments.....i missed everything.... i want to come

back to this world..... it's now 2.45am and i'm still wide awake...

Good opportunity to blog!! otherwise takut tak sempat nak

update.. my work...hhhmmm....still piling up.... but nasib baik now

day tu still ada lagi... that's why malas nak on the PC at nite...

i dont remember you... sometimes i'm too busy with the so

hectic life... BUT you guys are always in my heart....

Chinese New Year....

Missing in Action

I've been MIAing myself for quite sometimes...
I'm sure some of you might be wondering what had
happened to me...kak ummi, thanks for calling me
yesterday... i feel so touch... and that's why
I forced myself to just drop a note to inform everyone
that I'm still ALIVE and KICKING....
It's just that.... I'm so bogged down with loads and tonnes
of works in the office lately. Year end is our super duper peak
season ... so by the time i reached home, felt so exhausted and
refused to look at the PC coz the whole day I've been straining
my eyes looking at the computer...

AND also, I've just lost my grandpa recently.... so I'm still not in
the mood to write, to check emails as well as checking FB..

I'll definitely be back to this blogging world when everything
is back on track....

I'd like to take this opportunity to wish all of you who is reading
this post all the best for this coming new year.
May 2009 will give us a good health, wealth, prosperity and success...

Happy New Year!! Love you guys!!!
