Happy Sixth Form Graduation Mun! :)

Wednesday, 28th April 2010 was my sister Munirah's 6th Form Graduation Day, along with her friends at SMALHB's multipurpose hall. Fortunately I got a ticket from my Uda since my Babu Hjh cannot attend the ceremony. My cousin Jilah is also graduating along with my sister that morning. Congratulations both Mun and Jilah for excelling in your STPUB results! :)

As I have mentioned in a previous post, my sister earned an overall 'Mumtaz' grade (Excellent) for her STPUB, one of the seven Mumtaz students in the exams and she was also awarded a 'Pelajar Mithali' (Akademik & Kegiatan) award from the school. That was one of the surprise awards since it was kept hush hush until the ceremony, hehe. I was so proud of her when she came out to accept the Pelajar Mithali award with our parents from the Minister of Religious Affairs. Congratulations again Mun and I pray for your success always. Whatever path you took for your future, we will always be here to support you and may Allah bless you always.

Article of the ceremony can be found here Borneo Bulletin. Look for the fourth photo, hehe :)

My Last Day of Work

Tuesday, 27th April was my last day of work at UBD. I only stayed half day since I had my doctor's appointment for my medical check up result in the afternoon. It was a rather bittersweet last day. I was called by the EDPs to join them during their break time in the morning and once I arrived in the room, I received a heartwarming speech and a nice farewell gift from them. It was a rather sad occasion but I managed to hold myself together by lots of smiling haha. It was sweet of them, and for that I would like to express my thank you for the lovely speech, advice and gift. I shall miss them very much.

I also had brunch which can also be considered early lunch since it was almost lunch time anyway hehe with Mariah, Alyn and Ka Yati, Mariah's treat, hehe. We went to Mamih in Gadong for a bit. After brunch, we went back to the office to finish on some stuffs and also to finish my packing. It was a great experience working in UBD, and I would like to thank them for the opportunity given. I shall miss my colleagues very much! They are a fun bunch to work with despite some of the stresses that we encountered together, hehe.

In the afternoon, I went to Ong Sum Ping for my appointment, and Alhamdulillah, I am declared medically fit to work hehe. I went to send my medical check up result and acceptance of appointment to SPA & JPA immediately. Right now, I am waiting for their call to let me know the exact date when I have to report to my new job, which most likely will be early May, insya Allah. With my new job, I am getting a new car, which shall be revealed here soon, heehee. Below are some piccies from my last day of work :)

Weekend Movie Outing

Last night, Tiyah, Rahmat, Ayun and myself decided to head to the movies to catch the night showing of Date Night. The movie was about a married couple living in the suburbs who has fallen into a rut of a routine daily life. Until one night when they decided to have an extra special date night where they eventually became involved in a dangerous situation. It was certainly a funny movie, since it involves two of my favourite comedic actors Steve Carell and Tina Fey. I'd rate the movie 8/10. After the movie, we headed to Coffee Zone to hang out.

One extra calamari ring.. Like a true Bruneian! LOL. Don't worry, we finished it off eventually hehe

A Fish Called Uji Rashid

My Uda was telling my family that they came across a fish named after this famous Malaysian singer and actress at Giant. So when we went for a little shopping at Giant yesterday, what do we see? Yes, that's right, a fish called 'Uji Rashid'! That was so cool! Haha. Now, you don't normally see me hanging around the fish section, but I couldn't resist checking this out. I have never heard of this fish being sold here before this. I wonder why they named the fish 'Ikan Uji Rashid'. My guess is that this is due to the fish's huge eyes which is probably comparable to the singer's *shrugs* heehee. Mum bought some to give it a try. Heehee.

Good price! Check it out at Giant! :P

Ikan Uji Rashid. Notice the huge bulging fish eyes! :D

Hiking at Shahbandar

Yesterday, I went hiking with my work colleagues at Bukit Shahbandar. It has been ages since I have last set foot at the popular hiking spot. Mariah, Ka Sari, Alyn, Ka Yati and myself went straight to Shahbandar from work. By the time we reached the place, there was already a lot of joggers and hikers around.

It was our first time going together and it was a lot of fun! I can feel how unfit I was haha, since my last jogging session was probably months ago. However, it feels really good to exert my muscles and at the same time, it's nice to get to know some of my colleagues much better. The weather was thankfully cooperating with us. We spent less than an hour there before heading back home. Below are some piccies! Oh and also I have also included a photo that was also taken the same day with Tan Sri Prof Kamal Hassan whom I have the pleasure to work with in the program that I am working on at work. All piccies were taken using my phone, hehe.

From L to R: Ka Sari, Dk Didi, Ka Yati, Tan Sri, me, Tinah & Alyn :) Photo taken at the foyer
