Quantum of Solace

Selamat Menyambut Hari Raya Aidilfitri Mohon Ampun Zahir dan Batin!

I have a confession to make – even at this age; I still get excited whenever I received kad raya. Actually makin lama makin excited because now it is quite hard to get this kind of greeting anymore, even during birthday. So my colleagues at work have to bear with me every time I exclaim in joy upon receiving one. After reading it, dengan poyo nyer I will stick the card on my partition. And this is how my ‘wall of fame’ <----- sangatlah perasan statement nie -------> ini looks like on the 25rd day of Ramadhan... Takler banyak pun kad tu, apatah lagi nak dibandingkan dengan kengkawan lain (yang sangat famous macam Famous Amos tu . Lagipun, most of the cards were from our business associates aje , which were very formal - but I still got the nice feeling all over me. Talk about kad raya my bestie HA had done the nicest thing - she sent me a card all the way from Japan. And that's not all, as she couldn't find any Kad Raya there, what she did was sending me a blank

Here’s a sneak peak of my day at work…. We’re so flexible that we might be gymnasts………. We are so into team work……. seiring dan sejalan We work so hard until we tire ourselves out…..

Didn’t really quite sure what was I thinking at that time and on second thought these attire might be over for the office-but guess what, I already wore it to the office and it sure had brought some colors to my otherwise gloomy day at work!

What’s the difference between MERDEKA DAY and NEW YEAR? Public holiday – checked, free concert- checked, fireworks – checked. So what is actually the different between the day that is shared/celebrated with the whole planet with this very special day of our- Malaysians’ own? Yes, I do agree that we shouldn’t limit the spirit of the celebration for just one day, and the love for our country shouldn’t be counted only on how big the celebration that we have. But as we already mark this date 31st of August as the birthday of Malaysia, why don’t we celebrate it the more special way? I’m all for the Merdeka Parade, but I seriously think that “Ambang Merdeka” was just lack of originality. I would suggest that we take the word “Ambang” literally by having ‘meaningful’ programmes/activities in remembrance of the sacrifices, hardship, and everything that our forefathers had gone through in getting the independence for our beloved country. Yes, we all learn our history back in school, but sho
