Ramadhan in Sibu

FINALLY I went back to my hometown for the weekend Ramadhan.

 (sunset in Betong)

The opportunity to spend my few days of fasting in my hometown is something I cherish dearly, after a boring (and lonely) week in Betong.

I also took an extra couple days of leave since I am not planning to go back early for Aidilfitri preparation. This year, my superior granted me only one day leave for Aidilfitri but I does not mind - better than the traffic officers since they are prohibited to take any leave during this holiday season. Ehehehe

I took part the duty of decorating my office, in conjunction of the holiday mood. But the participating of the colleagues seems to make the decoration looks somewhat overkill. Sabor jer lah... Just look at the result below (50% complete) and judge yourself, ehehe.

(Overkill!)

To all muslim readers, Happy Fasting!

FRIDAY. JUNE 24th, 2011

Today I am 36 years old... Giving the life expectancy of an average male is 60, you might say I have less than 50% of my life to spend with... isk isk isk

How do I feel now? Well, mixed feelings... happy because today is my birthday (go figures!) and I am finally got a stable government job (fuhhh).

Not so happy because my life is finally just started ... and tons of catch-up I need to do, personally... With a few ups and downs for having started a bright future (hopefully) this late, I hope a could persevere and achieve my goals.

Thanks for all your wishes and support throughout my life... I will try to do my best from now on, with occasional quirky attitude just for sake of fun. (pardon me!)

Assalalammualaikum and God bless you all! 

Now, if only I could find those massage ointment...arrghhh

The Power of Words

TWO things indicate weakness - to be silent when it is proper to speak, and to speak when it is proper to be silent...

One day, I will reach all my goals in life.... surviving alone in this current town is my first step... wish me luck!

Missy, the Grumpy Persian

AH... long time no see... So much new stuff I have to do here in Betong... Yes, I am now a government servant in Betong, Sarawak.

The only drawback here is the super slow internet connection... isk isk isk

Not Much to do here, just the life pace is slower than what I had in Sibu... But then, maybe I will live longer because of that.

I even have a pet here... introducing, missy, the grumpy persian... ehehe

Patience & Perseverance

FINALLY all the patience and perseverance that I have to endure these years has pays off... I was offered a post in the government sector, though it is not my dream job...

I can't believe my ears when Ms Nurulizzah from Putrajaya gave me a call and offered me the job... After much thought I accepted the offer with my whole heart, and book an airline ticket to KLIA since I am required to attend a short briefing there.

Now, this is my second week working as a civil servant... true to the Hijrah concept, reluctantly, I moved to Betong, Sarawak, a three-four hour journey from my hometown. The catch is, I am a civil servant of a government sector posted in Betong... Really, Betong is totally new place for me...

As I am writing this, in Sibu,.. I am preparing for a new experience all together... will be boarding again to KL this afternoon, for a week introductory course in INTAN Kemaman, Terengganu...

Alhamdulillah... Thank you all...
