One in a million!

I have  been working with Maybank for about 17 years now! And that amount is calculated from the year I rejoined the bank in 1998! If I were to calculate from the day I graduated and join Mayban Finance back in 1994... it's approaching 20 years! Oh wow.... Yes, I am that old :P

Anyway, along the years, I got to know lots of colleagues and friends - some came and left briefly, some stay for a long, long time... (that include me... huhu!). Among those who I got the honour to work with is Mr Chow Chan Mei, our system scheduler in CSC (previously Maybank Operations). Some people might say, Mr Chow is a very fierce person. But I personally think Mr Chow is such a special person who dedicate his life to his work. I can always count on  him whenever I am in need of advice or solving a work problem. He even answered my calls and helped me when I was having difficulties during one of my project implementations on a weekend. I learned a lot from him. A sifu that I always can count on!

It's sad to hear that he is now leaving the company. Would definitely miss you, Mr Chow! You are one in a million!! There is no other Mr Chow in this world... huhu!

Thank you for all your help and contribution all these years, Mr Chow!
And ALL THE BEST! May you find happiness in whatever you do ;)

Monday lunch date ;)

Had lunch with my fellow ex-UMKCians today.

With Pejoy, Kak Ayu and K.A.

These people were one of my sisters and brothers during my life in the States back in the early 90s.

When was the last time we met?? 

Pfftt... can't remember! Been ages kot!? -.-

You guys never change!! Masih awesome as eva!! 

It was really nice meeting you guys again! ;)

 Really made my day! :)

Stay awesome okay! ;)

2 parties in a row!

Today is my boss, En Aziz's birthday. We planned to make a surprise party to celebrate his birthday but he kinda smelled it and warned us early in the morning 'If you guys want to plan a surprise party today, forget it! I don't feel like celebrating it. I am on 1/2 day leave today' -.-.

But hey, plan has been made. Food has been ordered and cake also has been  ordered. So, we proceed with the party without the birthday man himself :D

Party syok sendiri namanya ni... Lol! Just a small party among the TQC team :D

Anyway, happy birthday En Aziz. 

May Allah bless you with barakah and rezeki all year thru...

45 mins later, all food cleared. Table  and room all cleaned. Off we go to 20th floor four our big boas, Madam Rose's farewell party. After a year with Maybank, she decided to leave us :((

I like the first pic... All ceria ;) but the pic is blurry ;(( The 2nd one Madame rose wasn't ready. 

With the big boss :))

Didn't get the chance to get to know her better before she leave the company. 

It was nice knowing you mam! Such an interesting character! ;)

Went home this eve with full stomach. My frens said I've put on weight after coming back from testing ICBA London in Sunway :P 

Sigh... I am so fat now :P

Back to school - Part 2

So yeah, sent Izzat back to his school in Nibong Tebal, Penang last Monday. Left the house at 6:30am for Subang Airport. Mr Hubby can't take leave (ngelat tau! :P), so mama took one day off to accompany Izzat flying to Penang using Firefly via Subang Airport.

We didn't get enough rest after our Bali trip (went straight to work next day after landed in Malaysia), so we decided to send Izzat by flight... X larat nak drive :(( Unlike his sister, his things x la banyak sangat... Typical boys eh?! 

Apa2 pun, isi perut dulu.. Jom breakfast @ white Subang Airport's Old Town White Coffee Restaurant... 

Mama ate dry noodle 

Izzat and his teh tarik... his favourite!

He chose to eat nasi lemak and rendang this morning.

Reached Penang a few mins before 11 am. 

Rented a car at the Penang airport. We booked a Myvi but a Nissan Almeera was waiting for us instead. Katanya Myvi takde... so they are offering me Nissan Almeera with Myvi rate. Wahh.... alhamdulillah, ini sudah bagus! :)

With Mr Waze help, we reached Parit Buntar around 12++ noon. Instead of sending Izzat straight to his school, singgah sat Parit Buntar gi alter seluar izzat  and buy his facial foam which he forgot to bring... pfttt! Tak sampai pun 15 mins kot.... we we came back to our rented car, tenguk2 dah kena saman sebab tak letak kupon.... arghhh!!! Sib baik la RM10 jer.... so kena la cari Majlis Perbandaran Krian dulu to bayar saman. Dugaaannnnn.... sabar... sabar... :P

Reached MRSM Transkrian around 1pm. Registered for asrama... unfortunately parents were not allowed inside the asrama. So Izzat.... gi la kemas barang sendiri ya... :P Mama lepak2 under the sun with the other parents.

Selesai bayar yuran and so forth... I left Izzat's school around 4pm. Returned the car around 5pm at the airport... and lepak2 at the airport waiting for my flight home... huhu!

One day trip. Memang penat. But kalau drive lagi penat kot. So alhamdulillah... both kiddos are safely tucked in their respective boarding schools. Mama and Ayah tinggal berdua kembali :P

Am missing the kids oredi..... :'((

Back to school - Part1

Today we sent Izzaty back to her school in Bandar Enstek. How come time flies so fast! :(( Kejap jer dah habis cuti sekolah ek! Mr Hubby had to send my parents in law to Cheras, so it was just Izzat and I who sent Izzaty back to school. 

Barang Zaty penuh satu bonet... Nak gi haji ke hape ni?? Huhu...

The asrama blocks all fenced up for security reason. I just hope the girls won't feel like being in a jail or something -.-

Ni buat muka sedih lak.... Padahal excited nak jumpa gang! :P

Good luck Izzaty in your 4th year in TKC. Study smart okay! 

So now one has gone back... Tinggal la kami bertiga... Huhu. 

Esok hantar Izzat pulak! -.-

She's 16!

My eldest is 16 today.

 Happy birthday Izzaty! 

Semoga Izzaty menjadi insan yang cemerlang dunia dan akhirat! 

Mama loves you loadss!!! ❤️ *muuahhh!*

Sweetness Overload :D

My youngest bro in law who is a dentist in Sandakan in back in town for a short holiday. So during the Maulidurasul Day, he requested to have a family gathering. Since my parents in law are at our place (father in law has not been well and ever since he was out from the hospital, both my parents in law have been staying with us), we decided to gather at my place.

Spending time with family has always been fun.. We are so blessed, alhamdulillah. MIL cooked nasi lemak and mee bandung and Kak Eina brought nasi dagang... Yumm!!! 

I on the other hand, prepared the easiest food... The desserts :D

Upon Izzaty's request, I made Triffle ;) and since my nephew Ilhan loves strawberry, Izzaty and I decided to put strawberries on top.

My punch drink was a hit - kejap jer habis , alhamdulillah :))

And I ordered this from my TKC senior, Kak Yan...

Super yummilicious rainbow cake :)'

The cake is especially ordered for our January-born babes...

 Izzat (1st Jan), my youngest bro in law, Zamri (5th Jan), my mom in law (6th Jan) and Izzaty (8th Jan).... It has been a loooong time since they last celebrated their birthday together!

The only cousin gals (minus Dhiya Sophea who did not come for this occasion with her family) in the family... Selfie tak abis2! Watch out Alea's new hair fashion (dyed chalk some more!) - Tyler Swift alike okay! :D 

Watched the Astro First movie 'Manisnya Cinta di Cappadocia' together. Mmg suwiittt la cerita tu... Fazura is sooo pretty!! ❤️ The kids also enjoyed the movie with their cousins and I just realized how jiwang karat my son can be :'D 

Okay, we obviously were overloaded with sweet things in one day :D It was a sweet  fun day indeed! Let's do this more often, shall we? ;))

Happy 2015

Happy New Year u all!! 

It's my boy's 13th birthday today! I just can't believe how fast time flies! My youngest is no longger a baby!!! :P

Me and my baby back in 2004... I miss having u as a baby... Huhu!

And now that you're 13, I hope you'll be wiser... No more childish tantrum haa!!! :P

Birthday boy with his Kak Long (who'll be 16 next week).

Happiest 13th birthday Izzat! Mama loves you so so soooo much!!!  ❤️❤️❤️

Semoga menjadi anak yg soleh dan insan yang cemerlang dunia dan akhirat!

Stay handsome ;)
