Gen3 Gombak Away Day

Sunday, February 26, 2023

 

Assalamualaikum everyone. 



We went to Kuala Selangar for a short vacay - at the end of 2021/2023 session. It was long planned, only that many of us weren't available to join. The search for suitable locations also took some time, we even booked another one in Sepang but cancelled and at last - we found one at Taman Gaya Merak, Kuala Selangor. We assured each other - it's okay, we really have to proceed with this one although with the small number of attendance; 'twas supposed to be family day program. 


There's not much of program itinerary considering that all of us are working and we just do as best as we could haha in the short span of planning - we were all occupied with the AGM preparation the week before. 


Friday, 24th February

9.30 pm : gather in front of the office

10.00 pm : late dinner at Kafe Seeh Sokmo, besides the office 

11.00 pm : started the journey to the homestay

12 am : arrived safely alhamdulillah + choosing rooms + unpacked + plan for tomorrow + birthday celebration for nadh & k ain 


Majority of us slept at 3 am i believed haha, that's what happened when girls gathered

Saturday, 25th February 


7.30 am bought breakfast at a nearby warung. We three ate there and tapau for the rest. Nasi lemak + roti canai kosong + roti canai telur + milo ais + teh ais + nasi goreng for the kids 


The warung was full house and i was so glad they have roti canai kuah kari :D







10.30 am : Bukit Malawati trip. Some of us went earlier to purchase the tickets for all. I think we were there for about 1.5 hours. What's the attraction there? Monkey feeding + tram + lighthouse + museum. 


Not bad, the entrance fee is cheap and affordable. 

















1 pm : Lunch at a nearby restaurant 


2 pm : balik rumah, had some rest + cocktails + sleep + kids played in the plastic pool at the garage + planning for future programs + ate again what's left + watch TV. everyone's well rested. 


6 pm : checkout 


6.45 pm : arrived at Aroma Ikan Bakar, Jeram for dinner 


we actually waited more than an hour for the food -  and when the next table got theirs but arrived later than our group - asked the staff and they actually missed our order ugh :0


we ordered nasi putih + tomyam + ikan siakap masak 3 rasa + masak stim + one more + sotong celup tepung + udang celup tepung + kerang bakar 






my favourite : udang + sotong celup tepung. sedapnya...


I arrived home around 10 pm ; alhamdulillah for the journey :)


The pics before the check-out; 





Thank you everyone.

AGM DMPG Kali ke 28

Sunday, February 19, 2023

 

Assalamualaikum. Gonna update this here. 


So, we had the 28th Annual General Meeting last Sunday, 19th February 2023. 


The day before, preparation


On Saturday, i went to office around 10 am for some preparations and waiting for them come collecting the registration kit. 


K Dayah brought us kacang pool + iced cappuccino salted caramel for late breakfast. Thanks! Oh, it was my very first time having kacang pool actually, for someone who had a distaste for kacang, that wasnt bad. Liked it! (My Dulang Cafe, 013-9090059)


Went home at 2.30 pm and get some rest before night rehearsal. We should be there by 8 pm to ensure rehearsal can begin on time and since the venue staff gave us until 11 pm. Menu for that night : nasi goreng petai+lempeng+kari+teh tarik. We were all stuffed.







The day


On the way to Serene Hall, Wisma SBC, Batu Caves at 7.40am


When i arrived, first had to settle few things and quickly had breakfast before everything else. I learned my lesson haha, whatever comes your way - when organizing an event, spare some time to eat. 


Breakfast : bihun goreng + ayam goreng + karipap 


YB Dr. Mastura, the MP of Kepala Batas came at 9am. The wait was nerve wrecking coz the PA didnt answer the phone and no replies at Whatsapp and i was the one managing the VIPs. Next, i knew the reason why - because Dr Mas was accompanied by her husband and the PA is back home, in Penang. Alhamdulillah all went well. 




Loved listening to Dr. Mas' speech, it was awesome. I mean, look at her, a very young MP, way to go! May Allah bless her and family. 



One pic with Khodijah, the qari'ah, my student when she was in Year 4 Ibnu Haitham. 




One with Bai, partner tim sekretariat - tima kasih Bai banyak tolong and all. 


So, from here on there'll be just photos. Photo dump :D





a little gift, thank you. comel!







oh, it feels so good and mouth watering having nasi kenduri after soo longgg 











Bye.

Assalamualaikum. 


Just a short one today. 



pic credit : ain

lucky i found this one 

I was looking for a space like Leisure Area in UIA Library but there isn't one and kinda dissappoint. The staff informed that all books are not arranged based on category or genres but on call numbers. 


I was like, what? Call numbers? Meaning i have to go check the OPAC every time i wanted to look for books. What if i wanna browse and look for books i may find interesting? No chance then. 


I think it was so...


Libraries should be more accomodative and spark the joy of reading, but seeing this one, nothing is sparked unfortunately. 


A long aisle of PCs is no problem at all, but if i have to go to OPAC, checking the call numbers and locating the books in shelves everytime - im sorry i give up. 


I understood it's not a public library but rather in a university, so why not? A small space would do. But to think further, there must be reasons for that so fine then. 


But still for a bibliophile, it does not appeal to me. 


We just in need of a space with shelves of fictional and light books with various categories - UIA has it - fictions, biographies, memoirs, cookbooks, magazines and every day newspapers (sorry cant help but compare :p)







'twas nice having a coffee shop just beside the library, the only good thing maybe 





On the train, trying to finish the book I'm currently reading.
