I guess the Annual Dinner is the event that everyone at the office is looking forward to before the year says bye bye. I skipped one, started going again last year and went again for this year's, last night. As usual, I did make an effort to dress a little more appropriately according to the the theme ( though not entirely), and made time to make myself slightly prettier than my usual blend, no-elaborate make up policy.
So, hubby and I went there, late. Everyone was already seated when we arrived. But I had fun. The entertainer was good. The food was pretty decent. The hall was spacious and bright. And everybody was dressing to kill that night. Everyone looked good. Plus, we were entertained by Adibah Noor who sang such good 70s, 80s and 90s songs. She sounds fantastic.
For the first time in my entire adult life, I won a lucky draw. RM50 bucks voucher from H&M. Big deal.... But hey, there is always a first time for everything kan.
Anyways, it was an enjoyable and memorable night all together. Looking forward for another annual dinner next year. Check out some photos of me and my husband.

So long 2012
Hokay, 7 more days to 2013 and I am excited to welcome the new year and to add 1 more year into my age.
My husband and I went through a lot of challenges in 2012. No. I do not have any marital problem or of that sort. We were just slapped with issues with the houses that we bought. The one that we bought in early 2012 from Puan Sri Drama Queen, which the purchase was not as smooth as we expect it to be. It is still not resolved, but I am prayaing so hard to Allah that we will eventually get the house without having to go to Court. Ha, yes, it may involve the Court if we are left with no other options. And the other house that we bought back in 2008 and was so bloody delayed in handing over, and when it was finally handed over, the defects are unacceptable. And nak rectify defects pun lembap, mengalahkan Talam. But they are not Talam, they are Mayland. Never again I will buy a house from you, Mayland, you sux.
But anyways, the house issue was not the only rollercoaster rides that we went through, let see...
My transfer to PDS was sooo delayed because my old department headed by a dictator-like HOD decided to only let me go when they find a replacement, who never actually came until the end. But in the end, after much persuasion, I joined PDS on 1 June 2012. 5 months delayed. But better late than never, kan.
I found that my son and his friends were physically punished by the kindy teacher and it resulted in a heated argument between the parents and the principal and some people in the management of "this organisation" who decided to take sides (of course la side the kindi principal tu kan). This whole ordeal had also resulted in me and another mother to get called and being told off by the ED of the department that oversee the management of the kindi. As far as I am concerned, I did nothing wrong, she can stab me in the stomach if she wants. I stand by my principle, i do not condone to anything that is against my principle.
There were also a few other stuff, which may be abit too personal for me to pen it down here. But we survived. Alhamdulillah, I survived all these challenges. I do not know how I faced all that, but I know Allah guided me through my journey and will continue to guide me through the path that He wants me to follow.
Year 2013, I hope will be a fresh new beginning for me and the family. I know there would still be issues spilled over from year 2012 that we still need to deal with, but I hope we will be as strong, if not stronger to face it together.
My son, will be entering a new kindergarten in January. It'll be an Islamic Montessori. I do not know how the new school will fair on him but I am just keeping my options open, and take one step at a time. Afterall, I am grateful that I am still much luckier than some other parents who have more than 1 kids to sort out.
Ok. Like I said, 7 more days to go before 2013. And in the mean time, I shall enjoy these last few days of 2012 to reflect what I have done..... as well as those that I have not done.

School Reunion - 20.10.2012 - Intekma Resort, Shah Alam
Lets see. Where did I leave the page at?
We had our batch reunion on 20.10.2012. It was great to see so many old friends from my class and other classes gather again to reunite after more than 15 years. Some of them do not change even a bit, some have changed physically, some have changed personality to be more manly and more open... but most importantly all of us have grown wiser. Most of us are now parents.
At 35, we all have grown to be more mature .... well, even though we do kid around alot. People say, in every adult, there will still be a kid in them. And yes, we are a bunch of 35 year old 'kids'... teasing, kidding around, remembering the good old times, laugh like mad people together, ejek mengejek, and ungkit mengungkit cerita cerita love story masing masing. Overall, we all had great fun.. well at least I did. Met an old-flame whom I have not met maybe more than 10 years, it felt a little awkward at first since we did not part on a good note last time, but hey we're both cool now. How unfair, how come he still looks the same (I mean...Still Looks Good and "Sasa") and I have expanded sideways? Grrrr....
I am not interested in some people who decided to open their filthy mouth and criticize the reunion negatively even before the event, I guess I pun do not need their presence if their stance were already negative even before they came. Well their loss, not ours. Check out the happy faces. Ada ke yang muka menyesal datang? Takde kan.....
Group photo... thanks nizam for capturing this beautiful moment
Lovely, lovely ladies in the house....
Hello hello session.....
To all who came, thank you for supporting our event. I know it was not a perfect event as we all had to do this in between works, and we appologise for any flaws and shortcomings during the event. But we appreciate your time, and we all are happy to see you all. Thank you for coming. Terharuuuuuuu..... Till we meet again.
