Towards Self-Transformation

Last Wed (8th Apr) a group of UMS PP with strong support from Datin Ann has had such a good time together in commencing and organising the 1st Toastmaster Meeting (among the UMS staff) led by Toastmaster Luqman as the President of Shadow Committee of UMS Toastmaster Club. Before, toastmaster is not more than a public speaking that can bring "total disaster" when asked to speak before no. of people. Anyhow, thanks to Datin Ann whom has encouraged and invited us to attend the KK Toastmasters Club on Feb. I had attended the most precious night, where I can see everybody (even the guests and observers) can share everything that night. And I know Toastmaster is not a Public Speaking all about but it can instil the sense of mutual respects, understanding, time-managment, info-sharing, leadership and many 1001 others thru various roleplayers and activities in less than 3 hours meetings. In other words, the self-transformation might occur.

Pic above (from left) - TM Norti @ Nots as the Vice President (Membership), TM Luqman as The President and TM Mona @ Dewi as the Vice President (Education) and the group photo after the meeting. Members of KK Toastmasters Club also come to give their support. Thank you all.

Various Roleplayers of the night (from left - clockwise) :

Mr. President TM Luqman and as the 1st Competent Communicator speaker, CTM YBhg. Prof. Datin Ann as the Toasmaster of the Evening, TM Zelly as the Table Topic Master, TM Awina as the AH counters and me, TM Zue(the one who raised the pinky card up) s the Timer.

During the teabreak everybody seems very happy but mona, harni, luqman and lydia still got unfilfilled tasks during the break :)

Another "voluptuos", "gorgeuos" and "impressive" speakers and roleplayer :

(From left) - TM Lydia as the Humor Master (you really good at making jokes), DTM Annie Cheng as the Grammarian (from KK Toastmaster Club) and TM Harni as the 2nd competent communicator whom inspired mona to give her speech without reading or even had a glimpse on her "toyol".

So you people out there...come and join us in the next meeting and you can transform yourself too.

p/s : UMS Toastmaster Club will be having a fortnigtly meeting every Wednesday at 7.30pm sharp.

Some Say It's Heaven

Familiar with the tag-line? If you haven't been to Nexus Resort, Karambunai then you miss the heaven of earth as described by FBI Hot FM..."SYURGA DUNIA". It is...

However, some say it's expensive...you might think twice if u see the special gvt rate for gvt servant. It's only RM253 nett inclusive of bfast for ocean view room. Just present your gvt ID card upon check-in...For golfers, its the most suitable place to stay with your family. Aikksss since when i've been paid for promoting this place uh? Anyway, just want to fulfil my social obligation as Sabahan to promote this place :)

p/s : Bevern...10% of your commission ya ;)

Sorry the pic was taken by pre-amateur but still it's an amazing place right?

Below are the special pic for me. An evening in the Karambunai Beach with the love of my life...

Happy hour together - Nexus Karambunia Resort @ 4th & 5th April

It's buggy time...

Bye2 Karambunai...'till we meet again.

Jom Boikot Ramai2 ...

Mau tau senarai yang perlu kita boikot? Sila klik ni : NS Blog ... dan untuk maklumat lanjut according to my friend boleh ke hotline PPIM : 019-3591000 .

Kalau ikutkan memang susah mau boilot sebab ada antaranya produk yang dipakai ni merupakan our daily usage....tapi memikirkan apa yang dibuat oleh Yahudi terlaknat dan terkutuk terhadap sedara2 kita di GAZA sana, aku kuatkan semangat untuk memboikotnya...sampai Ambi Pur dalam kreta pun sudah ku buang semua...

So...anda bila lagi?

Air Asia changed the tagline...?

On Nov 15th, PPPS delegates (4 staffs & 7 students) was having a trip to Penang...not a vacation trip but to attend an international conference on postgraduates studies (ICPE3) at Gurney Resort Hotel. This is my 1st experience to go on board with "EVERYONE CAN FLY" aircraft... Not that bad la but my 1st impression was "like being in a night-market" hahaha ... now i think AIRASIA should add the tagline to "EVERYONE CAN FLY & WHILE ON BOARD QUICKLY GRAB THE SEAT". Having said that, whilst i step my feet on the aircraft...(though i have the express boarding pass with few another silly, uncivilised people...) everybody was rushing to book the seat for their other family members. Why i said those people are silly...of course la u can get the seat cos u had have those express boarding...no worries maaa...so stupid. Then why are they uncivilised?... cos they book for every other members till 2-3 rows...aiyaa...and what irritates me MOST...the passenger seating at my back row was with his 2 kids and they kicked my seat, went in and out of their seat like "mama bapa dia punya aircraft la..." !!! So disturbing.... but at 2nd tot...this is the purpose...EVERYONE CAN FLY, should there's no AIRASIA, everyone's become hardly to fly and if i am not serving as government officer..."JAGHANG-JAGHANG" (rarely) will i get the chances to fly. Yet, i will consider myself to flying with airaisia with my family again next time for the price is very competitive though have to sacrifice the "comfy"...

This cost me RM16...lapar punya pasal redah jer...

Aidil Adha 2007

21 Dec, Raya Aidil Adha (Raya Haji) tahun ni kami sambut secara sederhana tapi meriah juga. Mula2 plan pi papar ziarah kubur aruan mum. tapi bila bagitau hubby my plan dia plak mau tolong di rumah parents dia sebab tahun ni tumbang 2 ekor lembu. Seekor from his brother dan kami ikut satu bahagian (niat untuk aqiqah naufal) dan seekor lagi dari his uncle. he suggest minta i pegi dgn anak2 ke papar with my sister. but seems not nice la pegi asing2...last2 i mengalah la jugak. then about 10.30 gitu i minta amik my hubby yang suda awal pagi di rumah my in laws. sampai ja punya la ramai orang.kreta penuh parking depan rumah. macam kenduri plak. juadah banyak kena hidang...antaranya laksa utara (my fav), ayam masak kicap, acar, sayur campur, ikan putih kerabu mangga, kari daging dan dessert sagu gula melaka with honey dew...yummy. Paksu, Mak Ngah dan Mak Long la chef cook. acara menyembelih dan mengagih bahagian daging korban berakhir kira2 pada 1.00 tengahari. tapi acara makan2 (my in laws punya famili) berlarutan sampai ke lewat petang dan menjelang malam hehehe...makan daging goreng lagi, sup tulang lagi wowieeeee....acara menggempalkan badan.dan malam tu plak pa' tangah, ibu n family (my MIL punya brother) bertandang lagi makan di rumah MIL...disajikan dengan soto daging. yang ni i suda surrender...full already non-stop eating.

Ni la acara memotong daging...meriah, macam berada di pasar borong...:)

Hanya acara memotong dan mengagih daging yang sempat rakam...lain2 pic bole refer to blog yantie...

22nd Dec, friday pula my father in law buat kenduri kesyukuran plak...tapi yang ni nda sempat plak amik gambar or suruh my hubby amik gambar. masing2 sibuk la konon. i bantu2 yang mampu la. tau la bukan pandai masak...biasa la chef cook ialah paksu, mak ngah liza dan mak long zahara. anyone yang mau order cater dengan paksu pun boleh...post ja dalam comment blog ni hehehe...promo skit :) menu malam tu kari daging, asam pedas (lupa plak ni auntie nora yang masak...sedap wooo), ikan goreng, sambal belacan dan ulam, sayur campur dan air sirap (i yang buat)...sure naik berat badan ni...kena workout lepas ni.

Little rE-uNION

About last 2 weeks kalau nda silap on the 15th Dec my hubby ajak pi makan di rumah our old fren di Teluk Villa, Putatan. Dorang ni kawan2 sekolah menengah dulu. kira alumni limauan la ni. actually dirang jemput our naughtiest fren masa sekolah dulu...nasir joe. dia datang kk anak beranak. so mau jumpa dia la ni knun. we janji2 lepas around 8.30 la gitu. tapi after maghrib tini (tuan punya acara) minta tukar destinasi makan...nda jadi makan di rumah dia sebab dia nda sedap badan...so hubby dia "masak' di kedai ja la. kami makan di food stall dekat penjara kepayan. kami tiga pasangan la yang datang bersama rakyat2...cuma tini dan azhari ja yang belum ada rakyat...belum rezeki la tu...nanti kalau suda ada bederet la tu amiin.

Time makan2 sambil crita2 pasal zaman sekolah dulu2...bestnya...rasa2 macam mau ke zaman tu balik...nasir joe, tini dan azhari was our schoolmate. cuma azhari ni time form 4 dia sambung di SMKA Ranau (SMEKAR) kami di SMKA Inanam (SEMAI). Wife nasir joe ni plak my junior di IIUM. nama dia tini juga. dorang ter-bekenal di Maktab la alkisahnya...wat a small world. Rindunya mau jumpa kawan2 lama...nanti la kalau senang kira mau host satu re-union besar2an batch kami ni...harap2 my LIMAUAN fren yang baca my blog ni post ur full address and contact no dalam ruangan comment tu...ble buat database kita dan senang dihubungi bila2 masa nanti.

PIC bawah ni setelah masing2 kenyang makan...yang posing duduk tu nasir joe...yang berdiri from left tini (pegang stroller baby nasir joe) n azhari, my hubby with naufal and me with nadhrah

Especially Dedicated to My Hubby & Wonderful Kids

First dengar lagu ni memang suka dengan irama dan lirik dia...so since my hubby n i sejak diijabkabul ni yet to have any special songs n the lyrics very "ngam" to describe my feelings...i dedicate this special song to my beloved hubby and my wonderful kids...

I'M THE LUCKY ONE

Ku Persembahkan satu cita ku
Setulus hati hanyalah untukmu
Dan ku lakukan semampu aku
'Tuk menyayangi mu
Hingga kau merasa jadi pujaanku

Meski bercinta kadang tak indah
Tapi 'tuk buktikan kau yang terindah
Dan ku pastikan
I'm the lucky one
Nikmati cinta
Lebih dari segalanya

Jiwaku dulu yang tak tersentuh
Kini terasa sejak bersamamu
Berikan hangat hingga ku tak mampu
'Tuk jauh darimu
Kerna kau yang bisa buat ku bahagia

Caramu membuat ku tak berdaya
Mata hatiku pun ikut terjaga
Kau ubah hidupku ini
Jadi sempurna

Lagu/Lirik : Tengku Shafick
Vocal : Anuar Zain
