Lamanya tak update...

Hahaha... rasa lama pulak tak update.. it has been quite some time... lots happened, among others..

1. Rayyan demam panas sampai 5 hari. Tested -ve for dengue and H1N1. Kesian dia, dah lama tak kena demam... 4 days out of school, came back to school just in time for his 1st monthly exams... just got back some of the results.. nice to see he is piling up the hundreds in his exams... altho ada some yang tak hundred hehe (will reserve that for another entry, as I felt that he should have gotten hundreds based on what he knows and not from what he understands from the questions.. hehe)

2. Rayhana got HFM disease... seminggu tak gi nursery... sapa lagi jaga dia kat rumah? Bapak dia la.. hehe.. Her mouth was full of blisters on her palate.. habih lelangit dia berbijik2, her tongue was full of blisters.. tu je truk.. tangan dengan kaki takde sangat blister dia.. sikit2 je... but her thigh was like measles here and there, almost like the early stages of chicken pox.. kesian dia.. nak makan pun sakit.. got to know from my cousin that he tried gamat "gamogen" on his son who got HFM and it worked well.. so we tried on Rayhana... within 2 days, all the blisters in the mouth disappeared!! Almost like a miracle! Alhamdulillah...

3. Optimized Unifi to the max! Lol! I was one of the few who NEVER watched an episode of "Lost". Downloaded the whole 6 seasons, within a couple of days and in 1 week managed to watch all 5 seasons and now am on my 6th. How I managed it? Slept at 4am every night, and send Rayhana late to the nursery to catch at least 1 or 2 episodes first thing in the morning.. hehe with the new TV Ja bought, it's very convenient as I just need to plug the USB cable on my external hard disk to the TV and I get full HD view of the series... bila nak tido, cabut yang kat TV tu, bawak masuk bilik, sambung kat laptop, and then from laptop sambung kat TV pakai HDMI cable.. hehe every night the laptop was on till tetiba je whenever I woke up in the morning TV and laptop tu dah sentiasa tertutup dek Ja who goes out early in the morning to send Rayyan to school. Another thing, since with Unifi, all phone calls to TM land lines are free nationwide, I've decided that it is high time to do "fax" marketing for all my products and services.. hehe free fax maaa.... so lagi selalula I would just work from home.. :)

4. Published 2 books this month. The first two books for this year. Am looking forward to produce at least about 10 more this year, so I can look forward to this year's Frankfurt Book Fair in October.

5. Organizing the primary school reunion. Had two meetings so far, and another one this weekend. Great stuff planned, it's gonna be featured in the local papers too... :)

6. Went to Matta Fair and bought tickets to Langkawi, 3D/2N hotel stay and return flights at RM1100 total for 5 pax. Ja sampai amik cuti to go to the fair on Friday. Went there with Felishia & Afnan who bought a Singapore package.

7. Toying the idea with Ja nak gi USA probably end of next year... even surveyed accommodations and the factory outlets.... hehe banyaknya duit nak pakai.. seronok rasa tak terhingga for both of us, but memandangkan beribu riban duit nak pakai, camnala nak pergi... the cost is definitely reduced kalau gi reramai.. so tengah meracuni kengkawan and sedara mara to plan along.. nak gi USA ni kena gi reramai baru enjoy :). The place we plan to go.. ORLANDO.. 10 days should be perfect. Boleh gi Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World, and probably can make a short trip to NASA Space center, and the Miami beach.. hehe been there done that, well except for Sea World I didn't manage to visit while I was studying in the states dulu... but imagine what fun the kids will have... especially for Rayyan.. which makes us rethink.. lagi seronok bila Rayhana dah besar macam Rayyan now, and Rayyan is 4 years older than her... lagi enjoy! Aaaah... one can only dream for now... at this stage, kita memain jela dengan idea ni :)

Me in 1986


That's the class photo of the boys in my class. We had about 50 of us in the class so kena ambik gambar asing2 for the boys and girls. This was I believe the last day of Std 6. I have not been in touch with most of them until just recently, again, thanks to FACEBOOK!

Many have migrated to Australia, while some have just went on to different schools, went separate ways, living in other countries, and jumpa balik kat FB. In fact, yesterday, we managed to track our class teacher (the lady in pink in the background) in FB. Thanks, to one of our classmates.

We are planning to have a really big alumni reunion bash just our Std 6 in '86 batch as it's gonna be 25 years since we left SRK Kampung Tunku.

Looking forward to that!

MISC Walkathon 2011 @ Pullman Putrajaya Lakeside

Last Saturday was the day MISC and its subsidiaries held their Walkathon at Pullman Putrajaya Lakeside. We woke up as early as 5.30am, got ready, and by 6.45am camtu we were already on the road...

The weather was perfect. Ada banyak category walkathon tu.. we joined the "Family Fun" category where 15 winners were chosen based on how creative their family members were..


We were not creative enough... in fact we did not even get to the finish line.. hehe nak tau kenapa? Sapa la suruh letak cotton candy and pop corn stalls on the way to the finish line? Ja and Rayhana stopped to queue for the free cotton candy while me & Rayyan was queueing at the face painting tent... hehehe so tak dapatla sijil penyertaan... hehe but kudos to Rayyan for completing the walk up to that point without a single stop! That's close to 2km of walking! Rayhana ada 2 occasions asked Ja to dukung dia,, mengada-ngada.. hehe taknak pulak duduk dalam stroller dia..

There were lots of activities and lots of food! We were given 4 coupons for Ramly Burger, 4 coupons for Kenny Rogers lunch set, free flow of nasi lemak and teh tarik for breakfast, free flow of cotton candy, pop corn, 100 Plus, mineral water, and durian! We didn't get to the durian sebab dah tengahari.. we just waited for the Kenny Rogers at 11.30am and then balik...

But guess who we met there?


Hanin!!! Haritula baru kitorang tau Hanin's father is actually the VP of HR at MISC, the parent company.. hehe



Yang gambar atas ni, Ja onm the right, and Hanin's parents on the left.. at the "beach" kat lake tu..

The kids had fun.. running and jumping around... Rayhana pun..


Rayhana slept while Ja was queing for the Kenny Rogers and me and Rayyan was getting the car. Balik rumah semuorang terbongkang sampai pukul 6 petang, and quickly had to get ready for Felishia's sister-in-law's engagement/ Maulud Nabi kenduri.

And oh, my Unifi just got fixed today. It was hardware punya masalah. If you black modem's serial number starts with letters instead of numbers, you gotta have that changed. They've replaced that, and I'm on Unifi now.. uploading the above videos took me seconds :)
