There was a fire alarm just when I finished dinner/lunch. So that’s why I’m here at the School.

I received an unexpected e-mail from Malaysia today. Alhamdulillah. Everything has sorted out to be OK. ;)

By the way, I did a presentation together with a colleague on a company that we researched an interviewed earlier and to my amazement in turned out to be a success. We were 10 minutes on the dot and nobody asked any question. Mind you, these people tend to ask you difficult questions.

I'll take note on one of the comments given ;). Nevertheless, a few people praised our presentation and some even said that it’s the best among those 5 groups who presented that day. See Raj, you don’t need to add in that one extra slide…. Heheh

Mind you that my left leg was shaking and it shows how nervous I am.. Luckily I was presenting behind the lectern or otherwise people would have seen how ‘shaky’ I was. During the break just before my presentation, a colleague commented that I didn’t look so confident said that she’ll ask questions during my presentation (a good way to calm me eh ...)

Looking forward to going to the City Centre tomorrow. Need to buy some groceries plus I ran out of ‘beras’ since the couple of days.

This weekend, there was a ranking published in the FT (yes, I’m reading this newspaper) for the Executive MBA and our School did quite OK internationally.

Sunday is the end of the British Summer Time. So you get an extra one hour sleep on Sunday (tho’ I wished it’s more than 1 hour).

Hope it's not too late to wish you guys a wonderful Eid Mubarak! Maaf Zahir Batin

It's been a looonnng time since I have updated the blog. Here's some quick updates:

1. Eid way down south - Thanks a bunch Ghoyye for letting me staying in your 7 star penthouse (minus the swimming pool) ;). Not to forget Uje and Han for the superb pasta! Good to see some familiar faces again and shock some people. (Eh….ko buat ape kat sini?!, macam kenal je dia nih… selalu meeting ngan aku nih).

2. Trip to Cadbury World – had a sinful amount of chocolates (Flakes, custom-made choc with rice krispies you name it). It’s supposed to be a trip for our Operations Management course but it turns out as trip for the grown up kids. Must eat chocolate …

3. Trip to Chatsworth House – They were also auction items by Sotheby’s scattered around the garden. If you’re rich, and have enough space in your own backyard, you can opt to buy these items. My favourite art - work is the Trompe l'oeil Violin and bow hanging on a door. The work is so realistic that you didn’t notice it was a painting!

4. Birthday celebration – I’m getting ‘younger’ ;)

5. Teambuilding at the Royal Agricultural College – It’s the oldest agricultural college in the world. I had to present about Malaysia and one of our famous leaders (mind the pronoun – I was the only Malaysian!). Luckily, Sab recently joined our class so there’s two now.

Thank you for the unexpected visit from a dear friend plus the call from Malaysia (I know you missed me… haha).

It’s a lot of hard work here, so fingers-crossed. Hopefully I’ll survive.

I’m off to the city centre.

It’s a sad day. Tomorrow will be my last day at work. (Actually, it's today but still has a few things to sort out before my loongg break). I'm still contemplating whether to attend the class, going to the pilot workshop or drafting the skeletal report for the upcoming audit... I thought, I could rest during my last week at the office, but people keep asking me to do things (sighh...). Luckily, one treated me for a superb ayam kampung lunch!

This might be my last post here (read- Malaysia). I’ve been busy since the last few weeks (plus a long holiday to attend to my sis's convocation and to send another sis off.

To those of you who have still not heard of the news, I'm going back to the UK next week (Tickets have not been confirmed yet)! Sorry for not telling you guys earlier because it almost seemed that I'm not going to be released by my boss (insert the never-ending story here) before this. I'm surprised as it seems that the news spread so fast and people knew that I’ll be away.

Counting back, its 3 years since I came back to Malaysia and worked for the company and now I’m looking forward to going to the UK. Yeayyy!!

I’m also glad that a dear friend who got his offer letter after some minor hiccups and will be flying next month as well.

Ooohhh.. and to my dear friends who couldn’t make it on yesterday’s lunch/dinner, you guys have to wait a long time before I could ‘belanja’ you guys again… heheh
