I'm getting the hang of things around the place... now I can be quite good at using the many gadgets at the communication lab, and has gotten an access key as well. My students are a decent lot, many would laugh along when I crack jokes... and some are very well-mannered, like a few girls who would salam me before going back. As for colleagues, yeah, they're ok as well, some laugh here n there... I've met the dean last week, on Wednesday, just before I left for Shah Alam.
I also got to meet up with some friends last weekend, on Saturday, at Eq Bangi. I arrived a bit late, for I thot that since it was hi-tea, it would only start at 2, but they've actually began at 12. Hm, anyway, we yak,yak, til we were told that we had to leave at around 5.30. Still, we lingered on at the lobby to take photos... and they're all on the FB!
So, who were there? let's see... at my table, there were Anom, abg Man (we've always called him that, for he was the 'elderly' type), Ida, Tie Radio, Aboy, Fairuz, and later, Lan. At the other table, the 3rd & 4th collegians, were Bob, Marina, Anasan, Chris, Aida, Amoi, Salmi, Jash, Jeff & Zainal... hm, and the surprise addition was kak Gie/Dr. Fauziah!!! So, there 19 merry-makers making a thunderous noise.. bising bangat gitu!!! And we were also joined by a few spouses - Azah (Man's), Aboy's wife, Fairuz' wife n Amoi's cute-as-a college boy hubby. And of course, Jeff could easily pass off as a 25-year-old new grad. The rest... haha, many have gained weight here n there... but the spirit was still definitely the same!!!
Oh, btw, good news from Mama (Dila), as she is now expecting her 3rd baby... as she was saying on FB, "I have a bun in the oven... after 10 years, I thought the bakery is closed"... to which Tie Radio replied, "Carilah bakery lain!" haha, how 'blur' can she be? But of course, a lot of teasing followed made us laughed real hard!!!
And today, I'm feeling a bit under the weather, as I think that I've caught a bit of cold bug from abang- he was down with fever since Sunday, after we left, and is not at school again today. But his fever is down, and hopefully he'd be back to his old self tomorrow.
Hm, I really need to update my blog more often now... I seem to have missed a lot of stuff of late. As today, Malaysia has recorded 32 H1N1-related deaths, and is inching closer to it's 2000th case. It sure is indeed scary, and last week, one staff at ILPKL died due to the infection. Innalillah. As for UiTM & UniKL, things appear to be back to normal, after the 1-week closure, and I really hope that no family member /close friends would come down with it. Amin
