Mood...

orang dah cuti balik raya... am still working... boringnyer...
a few "interesting" things happened the past few days, but just didn't have the desire/mood to do any blog updates..

so here’s a resume of what happened last week…

1. no more internet surfing in the office

the company has detected that there was a surge of internet traffic during office hours lately… On top of the list of sites visited were :

• beruangmadu.com
• blogspot...
  

you can guess who the culprit is don’t you…? Luckily tak kantoi red handed… hehe. So no more internet surfing in the office after this… kalau kantoi pun, gua tak mengaku salah… Gua akan salahkan si Beruang Madu tuh… abislah lepas nih semua company akan ban dia punya blog… fofular sgt… hehe..

no more Beruang Madu blog reading during opis hours... huaaaa...!!

Yemen - yang kat bawah sebelah kiri tuh, jgn tak tahu lak...

2. to go or not to go….

Am supposed to go to Yemen & Syria after coming back from Raya (in the month of Oct, 14th Oct – Syria, 21st Oct – Yemen)…. Everything is planned – the flights, the hotel, the meetings… however, there have been some bombings lately in Sana’a & Damascus (2 bombings in Sana’a the past 2 or 3 weeks, 1 bombing in Damascus yesterday….). The boss asked me to do a “security check” before going to Yemen & Syria… (check with the Malaysian Embassy in these 2 countries if it is safe to go there)… OK, will do that a few days before the travelling date… hmmm, aku ingatkan Iraq jer yg bahaya (which also falls under my territory), but Yemen & Syria too…. Camna nak buat bisness camni…?

Syria - jgn tak tahu lak lepas nih... Syria nih dekat dgn Lebanon... tempat berperang jugak negara Lebanon tuh

3. Ramadan Bazaar food dah abis…!!

Remember the tonnes of food that I bought during the last Dubai Ramadan Bazaar? Well, they are all eaten… tak membazir. The sad part is that I have finished the whole stock before the end of Ramadan (3 more days to go). No more supply for this week… so boring one… Yesterday, ate the last dish - rendang daging… and since that was the only dish available, had to cook rice & ikan masak asam pedas (with the help of Chef Brahim of course) to eat together with the rendang…. Not bad, the whole combination was very tasty… bak kata Beruang Madu, sedap hingga menjilat siku & bahu… kuang kuang kuang…!!

dah abissssss... cuma tinggal dlm kenangan... keh keh keh...:)

4. Replacement of Marizel – macam sama bangang jer…

The replacement of Marizel, si Amfil has started to take over some of the tasks from Marizel. Utk pegi ke Yemen & Syria nih, gua suruh dia check sama ada gua kena ada Visa atau tidak (atau I can get Visa on arrival, ambik kat airport jer, like in Kuwait)… at the same time, gua check jugak on my side (sebab depa nih tersangatlah cemerlangnya kepantasan bekerja…)… into that I have gotten my side, no need to get Visa in advance from the embassies (Yemen & Syria), can easily get Visa on arrival at Sana’a & Damascus airport. Akan tetapi… jeng jeng jeng… si Marizel came back to me saying that for Yemen, can get Visa on arrival, for Syria must apply Visa in advance…. Aper ke halnya pulak berbeza infos nih… I probed her asking for more infos, who did she talk to? What’s the name of the officer? She called the embassy in Abu Dhabi or the Consulate in Dubai....? maka terbocorlah rahsia… rupanya, dia call Syria embassy & consulate, and couldn’t get hold of anybody, make dia ambik jalan senang mengatakan that I have to apply for the Visa in advance…. Hua… buat undang2 sendiri huh…? Apa dia ingat ini Negara bapak dia aper…? Dia ingat dia pandai, dia tak tahu yg rakan sekerja dia nih lagi pandai dari dia...! kan dah kantoi red handed...? hai... apa “pesen” (fashion) depa kerja nih...? 3rd bad encounter with filipino style of working...

aku tertanya2, depa yg keluar dari negara nih, semua yg kena reject ker by the local filipino companies...? sebab tuh semua kualiti kureng sket... errr, same rule apply for Malaysians here...? eh, maner ader...!! hehe... reject? kena reject ker...?

5. Blogger visit

Last Thu evening, ada fellow blogger singgah Dubai on the way back home. Dia naik EK, transit 10jam… so jumpa fellow blogger tuh, dan bawak dia jalan2 “Dubai by nite”… very fast tour one… 1h30am to 4h00am (tour of old Dubai & new Dubai).. ntah dia Nampak ker tak benda2 yg ditunjuk tengah2 malam buta tuh… jam 4h15am kelam kabut cari makan utk sahur… jangan serik sudah laaa… hahaha…. Btw, Mr Danial Ma, it was a pleasure showing you around….

6. Things to do this week

Gua belum pegi beli buah tangan utk bawak balik Mesia… aiyaaa… have to go out and buy them either this evening or tmrw evening… kalau tak, abislah aku kena halau balik keluar Mesia bila sampai nanti… hahaha….
