Back from the UK

Penat. Jet lag. Mengantuk... still.

I was one of the lucky ones who got out from Heathrow Airport, London on schedule, within 24 hours the airport opened for business again after closing for about a week due to that unpronounceable Icelandic volcano's activities.... if my flight were scheduled to go back one day earlier, I would have stranded with the rest, some I heard will only get the flight out on May 7th.

Alhamdulillah... in fact I got to be on the earlier Emirates flight. Saja je went to Heathrow about 5 hours early to allow some ample time for me to claim my VAT refunds, etc. Was told by Emirates ground crew as soon as got out of the tube that I could even get on the earlier flight which was scheduled about 2 hours before my confirmed flight. Apa lagi? Ambik je la... takut2 tetiba kang airport tutup balik... :)

So that meant I had 2 extra hours in Dubai before my connecting flight to KLIA.

Nasib baikla flight tak cancel... I was quite worried as Emirates cancelled their first flight of the day! Probably because they didn't have enough time to get the plane out of Dubai to Heathrow the time UK announced reopening of the airspace. Kalau cancel... terpaksa naik bas balik Birm la kot.. hehehehe

Kesianla si Nana & Mozard.. and the kids kena bare with me for another week or so.. hehehehe.. thanks guys.. hopefully tak menyusahkan korang... hehe..



Now still penat, although I have been home since Thursday night. Probably because I attended my cousin's wedding over the weekend, etc.

Today got a good news from Rayyan's school that Rayyan has been selected to become one of the emcees for Genius Aulad's Musical Showcase entitled "It's World Children's Day!" to be held at Auditorium Sultan Abdul Aziz, the SUK building in Shah Alam sometime next month. It's a showcase of talents from the 4 and 5 year olds from all Genius Aulad centers... there are about 7-8 of them.

Rayyan will open and close the event together with a 5 yo girl.

Alhamdulillah.... just got the script from the school so Rayyan can also practice at home before the event in about 20 days' time. Hopefully he does well, as expected by his teachers... bapak dia pulak pressure.. hehehe.. some tough words for Rayyan to say.. like "commemorating", "honourable", "lyricist", "composer", etc I doubt he knows what they mean :)

Now.. patiently waiting for a shipment to arrive from Birmingham... due to be picked up on April 28th, and sampai kat rumah I mid June.. in time for my birthday... hahaha dapatla hadiah kasut dua pasang, and some baju... pemberian diri sendiri, hasil hasutan penghasut-penghasut bertaraf doktor.. hehehehe

Rush Rush Rush

Few things are happening these couple of days...

1. Faleigh, my brother... anak beranak masuk hospital... first the wife, then the son, then him.. viral fever... up to 40 deg C. Renu has recovered, Sharat so far camtu lagi.. on drips now, but Faleigh was quarantined starting this afternoon still on drips... they ran Dengue test - negative.. now waiting for H1N1 results.. kalau +ve, the whole family has to be quarantined as well... so far yang visited them among the family were my mom and dad, and Fizrul, my other brother... I myself have not gone to see them.. tengah flu ni nanti kang datang banyak penyakit lain pulak... but I passed a viral fever medication through my dad to give it to him, that we're pushing for the Ministry of Health to adopt in their prescription for viral fever, including dengue...

2. Rayyan tak gi sekolah harini... reason? Mak dia tak basuh 4 pasang baju sekolah dia tersadai dalam laundry basket :)

3. I've been having the cold... phlegm here and there.. so far fever takdela alhamdulillah... this time went to the Mediviron clinic, dia bagi one new selesema punya ubat.. gila babi mengantuk tak kasi chan punya... I took one pill malam, sampai besok petang pun ngantuk gila2 lagi... hahaha but it's kinda effective so far...

4. There's an article about one of my company's projects in the New Straits Times today.. http://streets.nst.com.my/Current_News/Streets/Wednesday/Stories/20100407015716/Article/index_html So excited about this project... hopefully it will start soonest.. tgh tunggu Kementerian Dalam Negeri punya approval jer... this will be big... really big!!! It may be my biggest break!!! :)

5. I'll be leaving for London tomorrow night. 1 week in Birm, another 5 days in London. Got my flushot last Wednesday.. malam tu terus dapat flu.. hehe now nila yang tengah phlegm sana sini ni... Rayyan has been writing a list of items he wants me to buy for him in London... so far adala 3-4 benda, which includes gunting kecik.. hehehe macamla kat sini takde.. hahaha.. other items are books.. specific books with titles.. ntah mana dia dapat title buku tu ntah... My trip to Birm/London ni is strictly business... under very strict budget.. so sesapa nak suruh beli barang (including Ja) kena bagi duit.. hehehe

wokeh... see you guys from London... eh Birm next... :)
