Mama in Hospital

I hate coming back to this place ever since my father passed away here in HKL in Jan 2002. However, this time I have no choice since mama has been admitted here since last Wednesday due to severe stomach pain. This afternoon she has succesfully undergone a two-hour surgery led by MR Raja Badrul to 'clean-up' all the mess inside her lower abdoment. Alhamdulillah, she is now in stable condition but still under close observation.

To the doctors and nurses who treated her, thanks for the good job. We still have a few more days to spend in HKL till mama is fit to be discharge. Please pray for her speedy recovery and I can get back to work peacefully, insyallah.

RMAF ATC Talk Down Nite

The RMAF ATC organised a BBQ dinner at Prince Hotel, Jalan Conlay yesterday. Attended by most air traffic control officers from the RMAF. Although I am not an ATC person, I have worked and 'grew-up' in the ATC world , especially RMAF, for the last 17 years. Frankly, I have more ATC friends than those people from my own trade. So, the invitation from the organisor for this dinner was something that I should not be missed. I felt very glad to meet many many old ATC friends ... Talo, BG Clent, Zul, Bush, Chelvam, Sam Panjang, Col Mus, Doosh, Radzi, Zain, Peah, Md Tuah, Ben, Sabarudin, Pak Pin, Simon, Hashim, Gucci and many many more.

If I am not mistaken, the word 'Talk Down' in ATC means to 'bring' the aircraft down to land safely. This term is normally used during one procedure called 'Ground Control Approach or GCA'. During this procedure, a GCA Controller will guide the pilot in order to bring the aircraft down by referring to a special radar display called Precision Approach Radar (PAR) which provides the aircraft glide slope and center line position (localizer). The GCA is specifically used by the military (civil aircraft do not use it) during the absence of Instrument Landing System (ILS). Betui ke? Pls correct me if I am wrong.

Terimakasih daun keladi, tahun depan jangan lupa jemput lagi. Here are some of the pics.

Congrats Nina

Nina dapat hadiah lagi. Congratulation. Bapak and mak are very proud of u. Next year you gonna sit for your UPSR. Keep it up.

Farewell Dinner Mej Shuhaimi

Finally, a farewell dinner was thrown out for Mej Shuhaimi who has left our company more than three months ago. He is now a 'free' (and whealthier man) now. The dinner was held at one Thai Restaurant at Palm Garden Resort, Putrajaya.

To Mej Shuhaimi, I have said what I wanted to say during the dinner. Again...thanks for everything.

See my earlier posting on this.

Testing water colour baru beli kat Tesco semalam. Kena lukis cepat-cepat sebelum anak-anak kebas :-)

My First Nokia

Malu nak habaq kat orang. At last, after 10 years using handphones...u name it, Ericsson (R520m, T39m, T610) dah, Siemens dah, Samsung (SGH-D600) dah, Motorola (V3) dah, Palm Treo dah, I finally bought a Nokia phone last week. I remember 5 years ago, I was a member of a group named "Malaysian People Anti Nokia Association (MPANA)" a group for people who have never use (or hate) Nokia and prefer other models like Ericsson, Siemens, Samsung, LG, etc.

I hope they don't read my blog :-)

Open House 2006

Tahun ni record betul, kami buat open house dua hari berturut turut pada 4 Nov and 5 Nov 2006. Hari pertama, 4 Nov 2006 untuk family dan hari kedua untuk kengkawan. Sebenarnya dah 4 tahun kami tak buat. Dulu masa dalam askar, tinggal kat kuaters rajin jugak buat. Tahun ni kami decide nak buat sebab baru masuk rumah sendiri dua bulan lepas, kiranya buat house warming sekali la. Menu hari tu Mee Kari, Soto, Lemang, Rendang Dendeng, Roti Jala, Sate, Nasi Impit, buah buahan dan kueh mueh.

Hari pertama, khas untuk kaum keluarga, hosted by 9 buah keluarga-keluarga Osman Basir dan dihadiri jugak oleh kawan-kawan kepada ahli keluarga serta sedara kepada ahli keluarga dan jugak kawan punya kawan kepada ahli keluarga Osman Basir. Last year kami sewa bungalow kat Tmn Tasik Titiwangsa buat joint open house, tapi tahun ni tak de rezeki, so it end up buat kat rumah kami aja. Alhamdulillah, me and my wife dengan lapang hati bersetuju untuk jadi host....dengan apa yang ada ajer la. Makanan pulak ada yang di cater dan banyak jugak yang dimasak sendiri. Uncle Mat dan Auntie Ma bawak nasi dagang (resepi Kris Sakti), Auntie Chom and Mak Yat buat rendang dendeng dan rendang pedas, Uncle Mail order sate, Auntie Zawiyah prepare kuih-kuih dan nasi impit, Uncle Din bawak lemang dan macam macam lagi, Uncle Lan dan Auntie Non kasi pinjam bekas tempat serve dan pinggan mangkuk, Uncle Atan dan Auntie Rusni prepare ais dan air oren (thanks to Yan yang make sure air tak putus). Open housenyer siang from 12 - 5 pm, lepas tu pada sebelah malamnya kami berkumpul dan start sessi live band. Tak macam yang lepas, this time tak de karaoke, 100% live. Antara penyumbang-penyumbang lagu malam tu Uncle Mail, Atip (I Will Survive), Mak Yat, Jaja, Aya and Cek Man. Dan tak lupa jugak 'David Arumugam' celup yang didatangkan khas dari Balakong....Uncle Din.

Hari kedua khas untuk kawan kawan sekolah, kawan kawan kolej, kawan kawan opis tak kira di mana jua mereka berada serta tak lupa jiran tetangga. This time kami prepare sekali lagi mee kari, soto, teh tarik dan pelbagai buah buahan dan kueh muih. Heyyyy...bukan yang semalam punya ye. Semalam punya dah habis licin. This time, semua sedara mara dah balik, tinggal la kami laki bini + maid yang handle semua. Nasib baik crowd yang datang tak mari sekaligus...ada la datang beberapa wave. Kalau datang sekaligus, pengsan jugak kitaorang. Seronok, ramai yang sudi datang....dari jauh dan dekat, semasa hari panas terik dan jugak hujan. Thank you also to Lifebloom kerana sudi menyumbangkan sebuah lagu, walaupun bukan lagu raya dan tak sempat habis pun...banyak sangat gangguan. We appreciate that. Next time kita buat makan-makan lagi siap jamming live lagi. Kepada Kak Yam anak beranak, best dapat buat mini concert, tapi masa tak mengizinkan... dah maghrib.

Terimakasih kepada semua sudi yang hadir. Terimakasih jugak kepada semua yang dah membantu menjayakan majlis ni pada kedua-dua hari tersebut, terutamanya pada hari pertama....auntie-auntie, uncle-uncle, sepupu-sepupu, anak sedara, anak-anakku yang muka moncong kena angkat pinggan kotor, maid-maid dan lain lain lagi. Special thanks to Auntie Chom (yang tak putus-putus arrangekan untuk kami pada kedua dua hari plus phone calls to make sure everything's ok) dan jugak Uncle Mail dan Auntie Zawiyah yang lead majlis ni.

Kepada yang tak dapat hadir tu, insyallah tahun depan, ada rezeki lebih, kita buat lagi. To my cousins yang kat oversea tu, Azra Sunderland & Mira.... enjoy the pics, hehehe. Next time kami buat live telecast via webcam kat Yahoo Messenger.

Thank you all... thank you so much from both of us.
