hi,
blogging from the new office now..
new place, new computer (i swear i can smell the newness), new set of faces passing by.

all been good, friday was cool, and now monday, is a breeze.. well, i've pentium4 pc to browse around with.. and, i'm the one sitting furthest at the back.. ehehe.. privacy..

cool stuff abt this new place.
-it took me 20-25 mins, from my house's parking to the office parking
-they have two tea time, 15 mins each.. 10am and 3.30pm... and free drinks!
-i work independantly, set up my own database (of course, should be comprehensive for others too) and it entails stuff i'll be learning in CIMA..
-i've two desk officers to help me do the little2 stuff, photocopying, preparations of order and stuff.. (i was told, they're more interested in using my brain..i hope i can spare them some, not my physical energy)
-they leave right on the spot, 5.30pm.

>>oh, my colleague just drop me a glass of fresh coconut drink.. and some goreng pisang!

the prospect looks good.. alhamdulillah.(the job, not the coconut drink.. too sweet to my liking..do u put air gula in coconut drink?i think they did)

ok, last weekend
me and my very first little project
ida's engagement
was a successful one, in fact the other side was impressed.
the nasi kerabu and few other kelantan delicacies manage to flatter them jugakla..
they were esp shocked to receive the ring for the guy.. it's not a custom they're aware of at all..
oo.. so are kelantanese a tad bit more generous? ehehe.. it's actually tok we and her tendency to shower her cucus with gifts during special occasion. so the 'zamrud' ring is entirely her responsibility.

i did 2 of the hantarans
the pulut kuning and the special murtabak kelantan tu...
then helped my aunt with ida's make up..biasa2 je.. but managed to cover her pimples. which emerge 24 hrs before the ceremony.. tension kot
it was a terribly tiring experience, but it was surely a worthy one too.
i also managed to observe some politics in my family.. maybe not the close ones, but my familylah in general.
something worth taking note for my wedding later.

me n mama is compiling relevant info for weddings. i hope i can really do this. ida's wedding will be 6 mths from now. we're suppose to come up with guest lists, souvenirs, make up, dress and co-ordination of who's where for the big day. at the moment mama is playing a big part too. i'm still watching and learninglah.

went to pyramid the other day. saw the CIMA study guide.. darn! tebalnya!
i'm panicking already
at the same time i felt this idiotic rush of excitement.. best.. so much to learn.. wat is wrong with me lah??

oh ppl.. dont ever go to Mr Teppanyaki in Pyramid (the one next to some korean restaurant and the pizza hut)
it's ulitmately rubbish. they dont do orders in sequence. they are veryveryvery slow. the floor is dirty. the food is lousy. i know i shouldnt be complaining this muchla.. one look at the place u know wat u're in for.. but i thought i wont judge a restaurant by it's interior.. ehehe.. maybe i should next time.

jo, my cousin, is a papa from yesterday on..
it's a girl!
and this has cause yet another drama in my family.. something to do with ignorance of some which results in responsibilities one others' shoulder..
listening to mama addressing the matter last nite, made me wonder if i am NOT AT ALL prepared for kawin n beranak...
but then again.. not stopping me that one..

so much for monday
