Not a happy camper...

Okay not only did I have to rush to Kemaman last night for a meeting on our Raya Open House on the 22nd October 2007, also I was told by my Boss that Chairman requires my presence at the dialogue on 11th October in Kemaman. My whole plan to leave for KL with my family this morning is in tatters. So here I am back in office on the day I am suppose to leave for KL to begin my leave. Now since I have to work today and tomorrow, effectively I will only be taking 3 days leave for our road trip.
Oh yes on a positive note, I have paid the final RM15,000 as deposit for the purchase of the apartment. We have also been given the keys to the apartment. Now just awaiting approval from the bank for the loan. I know I am hocked to the hilt but still I do pray and hope that it will be approved.

Oh did I tell you?

Its been so long. Anyway on March 15, 2007 I was transferred out of the Audit Department to head a new outfit called Corporate Communications, Legal and Secretarial....soooo Legalllll...I'm backkkkkkkkkkkk. Right now 2 ladies under me...one for Legal and Secretarial and one for Corporate Communications. The bosses lovely sweet thing of a PA just joined and she's assisting me in Corp Comm(as we practitioners like to call it...). I'm going to ask the L&S girl to go fully on the L while I write down minutes as the S. Or something like that.
And then between that time and today? Dang...never knew there's so much work. So that's my excuse..what's yours?

Its Aidilfitri again?

It seems to me that I always feel like blogging close to Aidilfitri. I started around same time last year. Never did continue and now here I am again. Suddenly I realise that I actually have a blog. Talk about stating the obvious. This morning here I was flying into Kuala Terengganu from KL and who was there to greet me? The YAB Menteri Besar himself. Apparently it was the launching of the aero bridge at the new airport. The airport is not ready but the aerobridge is. So there he was and all I can say was, "Apa khabar Dato'?". That's it. A handshake and off I went into a taxi to whisk me off to my office. An elderly man but his driving....WOW...is all I can say.
It was actually the start of another busy day for me. This guy came from master alliance communication to convince me to change agencies that publishes the annual reports. Then came a guy from Bank Islam. Oh did I tell you I'm buying an apartment in KT? Why KT? Its a lovely place and very relaxing. Even if I no longer work here I want to continue maintaining it as my very own holiday home.
And the days wore on. My worried Syima, a Junior staff about the mess we made with the Chairman's raya cards. Well he read the riot act but it should still be okay I think. I'm still thinking of buying a house though.
I am sleepy. Another box of dates came for me. Now I need to quadruple my dates consumption. Trying to make some sense on the chaotic nature of my desk. Should be time for iftar soon. See ya.
