Farewell

assalamualaikum

today is my last day in this office. it is definitely an emotional day for me. this agency is my first love in government service. it'll definitely hard for me to forget this agency. i dont know why. but most probably it involves security. i love anything about security. not just any security but national security...

whenever you are involved in the matters of national security, patriotism is involved. when you give so much to your country, you become more attached to it. i love this country so much. it doesnt matter whether people appreciate your contribution or not. the nature of work doesnt permit exposure. i like it that way. working in the shadow, like some people said....

but life must go on. starting next week, i'll be the assistant district officer. hehh....i'm not so excited about it. but i believe that this is fate. and i'll accept it as it is. who knows i'll be back someday...

My Friends

Assalamualaikum

just want to introduce my friends as they will be featuring in my posting a lot. i have a lot of friends. but my closest friends are as follows:

kazarul
my laughing partner. there will always be jokes between us. some people just dont understand the jokes. but me and kazarul. we just 'click'.

nik
the muscle guy and used to be health freak. loves body building. but pitty him, he's short.

achik
mr slow and steady. slow in everything. i just cant believe that he survived his study in US

wakrin
the computer guy. fails to finish his study. but can still successful due to his 'obsession' with computers.

imran
a.k.a chicken. but that nick is history now. a clumsy guy. has vision but never made an effort to turn it into reality

ayop
wants things to be perfect. but always try to find a short cut to achieve his goals.

nizar
the sarjan. ex rmc hence the nick sarjan. quite serious in whatever he does. kazarul adn i always think twice before pulling a joke on him.

Allahyarham Mahrizal Asari

weekend

assalamualaikum

many things happened during the weekend.

first, i've got a new niece. my wife's sister delivered her first child after 6 years of marriage. so you can imagine how happy she is right now. but this is not her first child actually. she has an older son - adopted. this is a classic petua orang tua-tua punya story. there is a petua that if you couldn't have a child of your own, try to adopt one first and insyaallah you'll be blessed with your own child. so they did. 3 months after that she got pregnant. alhamdulillah.

second, i went to tampin to attend a friend's wedding. tampin is so damn far i tell you. and my friend's kampung is so hulu. to make it worse, according to the map, i'm supposed to take the simpang ampat exit, but there's no simpang ampat exit !!! it's actually alor gajah/tampin exit. only the locals call it simpang ampat. because of this, we wasted 60 km of travelling and 30 minutes of time. rugi...rugi dah la minyak aku yang bayor.

third, i finally managed to buy my wife her anniversay cum birthday present. it is in a form of diamonds (plural tuh) ring. saje la to take advantage of the crazy year end discount. up to 70% discount tuu. so the ring is not that mahal la. discounted price la katakan :) bleh la afford dgn gaji gomen aku ni. itupon sbb ada easy payment scheme. sib baik ada credit card. eheheh....

fourth, we bought a new stroller for my son. mesti korang pelik kan. dah 2 tahun lebih baru beli stroller ke?.... we have a couple before but buruk already. and those were presents from relatives. so this one special sket la. mahal oii stroller. i mean the good ones la. since we plan nak guna sampai 10 tahun so we bought yg mahal sket. brand Graco. the lady yang layan kitorang ni cakap graco ni actually combi, tapi dia tukar nama for marketing purposes i.e to penetrate middle income market. dunno la wheather she bluffing or not. tp rege dia mahal jugak, middle income market konon. aku rasa stroller anak aku ni lagi mahal dari gaji opis boy aku. bertuah punya anak....

so that's it. my weekend. btw today's my birthday :)

Alif Hafi

Assalamualaikum

so today i'm gonna write about my son, alif hafi bin azrul sani. sometimes i just can't believe it. my own flesh and blood. best oii ada anak ini....

so about alif. DOB 13 october 2004. when he was born, i was not at home. i was at INTAN attending my 6 month DPA course. so you can imagine how strong was my wife. but offcourse she wasn't alone. my mother in law was there. but still i felt a little sorry for her. sorry for myself too. i wanted to be there for her so badly. only God knows how. but it was fated that way....

luckily my wife was prepared for this situation. so didnt complain much (thanks honey). actually alif was supposed to be delivered on the 10th october. but he was overdued. if not i might had made it....

technically i did make it in time. just b4 she delivered. it's just that we didnt have time to meet. since she was already ushered into the OT. i arrived at Ipoh GH at about 6 am. she gave birth at 9 something. i did asked for permission to be with her. but was denied since the OT was a little hectic that day....

only after 10 am i was allowed to meet my son for the time. and the first time i hold him in my arms. the feeling was priceless....

nurse : you nak azan ke?
me : nak....
nurse : azan la, jangan malu2 (smile)
me : err...bleh tak alih kan dia ke seblah kiri saya, saya tak reti la
nurse : (grin) first time ye....
me : a'ah (damn you wohman!!)

ehehehh....
that was my first funny experience with alif. i didn't dare to tip him to my left as i was scared of dropping him. so the nurse had a pretty good time screwing me. but i didn't care....

suddenly, i felt something was wrong. but i didn't know what was it. so i ignored it. and the same nurse came to me.....

nurse : encik taknak jumpa you punya wife ke?
me : a'ah la....mana wife saya eh? (sorry honey)
nurse : ayoo...teruk la you, jumpa anak terus lupa sama wife aahh (grin)
me : eheheh....mana dia eh? (kena lagi aku, siap ko nanti nurse)
nurse : bilik A5 ye....

hehhhee... sian wife aku. tp aku rasa any first time father would experience the same thing. so to my wife thank very much for giving me alif hafi. and to Allah...i'm speechless....

Evacuation Drill

assalamualaikum...

just got back from the airport....
jadi referee untuk evacuation drill....
boring stuff actually....

these people dont take drills seriously....
so aku pon maleh la nak komen banyak2.....

basically....
most malaysians are not professionals....
we dont take things seriously....
only when we got a slap in the face then baru nak kelam kabut....
so dunno la.....
hopefully things will change....
because it's tiring to be the only 'serious' guy when others are taking things for granted....

chow

3rd Anniversary

hmmm....
believe it or not....
it's been 3 years already....

so far so good....
my wife and i are extremely happy....
especially after our first son was born....
tapi offcourse la sometimes we argue....
small arguements tu biasak la....
as one friend of mine said.....
'arguing is a way of getting to know your spouse'....

but now i have one problem....
i dont know what to buy for her anniversary present....
i know that it has only been 3 years....
and it is impossible for me to run out of ideas for present....

the thing is....
we've been together for the past 12 years!!!....
along those years i've bought teddy bear, purse, pendant, musical box and etc....
so now i've run out of ideas....
mebbe i'll go Jaya Jusco after work for a survey....
at least buy some flowers....
see how la.....

p/s : my friend suggested 'slutty ligerie' - not bad huh :)
