Upcoming Vacation

Gosh! I am thoroughly and absolutely excited! Am due for a meeting in Perak this weekend (I am actually flabbergasted, why oh why do they have to hold a meeting on Sunday?) But then again, with a bit of quick thinking I managed to turn my meeting (on a weekend non-the-less) into a short mini vacation.

So, I am planning to leave for Pangkor Island this Saturday. Currently counting the days till my mini-vacation, which is another two days. Wow! I totally can't wait *grin*

Will be nice to take a quick reprieve from work as papers keep piling on my desk like there's no tomorrow. Let's hope that I attend the meeting with a tan, peeps!

By the way, Nikki's coming with me to Perak so I hope to show off my shooting skills this weekend.

Cheerio!

Went Shopping for Nikki

Today is a day spent entirely for Nikki. As so very apparent as it is, I am thoroughly excited about Nikki's arrival that I spent the entire day shopping for Nikki (making sure that all her needs are met).

Nikki is very fussy, you see.

And if not taken care for, Nikki might not function as well as she should (which is a shame really, cause Nikki is certainly meant for the better things in life).

So, I went shopping for a case to keep her in (bought that one yesterday night), and then a bag (complete with padding) to keep her in and finally a UV Filter to make sure she's kept safe from harsh UV rays and not to mention to keep her lenses safe from scratches.

Opps, not forgetting, I also bought her silica gels (which is not easy to obtain, mind you).

Now her basic needs are met. What I need now is some cleaning cloth (specifically for Nikki) and also short courses so that I can utilize all her complicated functions and features. I went for an outdoor shoot today (took a lot of lousy photos but some were indeed quite well taken I must say), will upload them later and I'll let you be the judge.

Cheerio!

One Down, a few more to go!

OBE's over!!! Yeay! No, make that a BIG YEAY! So, one of my tasks is complete. The OBE/ SCL workshop had just finished an hour ago. As that one is one of my major task this week (and although today is Friday and the working days are over already for this week) I still have a few major tasks to complete. Now, let's see what those tasks are:
1. Final Exam paper for the next semester (only managed to complete Question 1 and Question 2(a))
2. Research Report (about 75% complete)
3. OBE/ SCL workshop report (I'll finish that in a jiffy)
4. Self Review Portfolio (I'll do that starting Monday)
5. Book to visit Hong Kong University and The Chinese University of Hong Kong for our benchmarking trip in July (I'll get to that soon)

Gosh, seems like there's lots more to be done. I really am swamped this week. What more Nikki's waiting for me to explore the joys of snapping photographs (be patient Nikki, I'll learn soon enough). So have a great weekend peeps! Looks like I'll be spending most of it in the office this weekend.

Cheerio!

Nikki's here!

I am very, very happy to announce that Nikki's here!!! Don't know Nikki? Well... Nikki's my new digital SLR camera that I just recently bought *happy grin*. Remember my indecision about buying something in my previous post? Well, that indecision was caused by me not being sure whether I wanted to buy or not to buy an SLR camera. Anyway, it's all water under the bridge now as I have made my mind and finally made my purchase.

So, here it is, my Nikki!!!

Nikki says Hi =p

Work? What Work?

Due to my very hectic two days (Monday and Tuesday) I finally managed to clear my schedule a bit today to finish of my research report (although by the end of the day I still haven't managed to get it ALL done, but my progress is at 75% (am very, very happy with that).

In regards to the course tomorrow, well, it is still going on tomorrow (no, it is NOT cancelled) but most of the stuff are almost ready so I am also very pleased with the progress so far. The best thing is, it will be over by Friday afternoon so that clears even more of my schedule.

For the Final Exam paper, well... I haven't gotten up to that yet. As you can see, I am NOT a wonderwoman (and pitifully I don't even have the looks *sigh*) so I'm currently planning to sneak into the office on Saturday to get that done. That will free my schedule for the following week. I am due to leave for Perak on Friday so I'd like to get everything settled before I leave. At least getting back to the office and seeing a clean and clutter-free table is a immediate de-stresser to me.

What else do I have to get done? Oh yeah, the Self Review Portfolio. I'll start on that one by Monday and hopes to get at least 75% done by Wednesday. Let's see how that'll turn out.

However, I am pleased to note that I am happy about many things today; firstly, my research report is almost finished. Secondly, I am spending tonight's dinner in the company of good friends (we're celebrating Eim's Mum's Surprise Birthday Party) and the best part is, my trip to Pulau Pangkor next week is confirmed to be ON. Praise to God, so many blessings to look forward to.

Count your blessings peeps! It's a good way to start or end any workday. It certainly works for me!

Life's a Peach but Work is definitely not Peachy

Work has been steadily piling on my desk. I am due for a training this Thursday and Friday (in which I am both the secretariat and the trainer) so my hands are a bit full with bits of work here and there. Not only that, I am also entrusted with preparing final year examination questions for both my diploma and degree subjects (sorry but I ain't telling what my subjects are, so there!), the due date is this 24th June so multitasking is a must for me this very hectic month. Not to mention I also have UiTM's Self Review Portfolio to compile and complete by the 20th June and am due for a meeting in Perak also on the same day (which might I remind you is a SUNDAY). Hopefully I can get everything settled. Now that I think about it, I am due to submit my part of the research report to my research partner by middle of next week. Yikes!
However I must admit that this month had been a very eventful and enjoyable one as I had an opportunity to catch up with my schoolmates as some of them managed to come back to Kuching for my friends weddings. It was fun catching up with all the gossip and updating each other with what's happening in our lives. Somehow it feels a bit unbelievable that we are now nearing the end of our twenties and although we are supposedly be all grown up, we are all still the same teenage girls who used to wait for the bus after school gossiping about boys and the latest tv shows more than 10 years ago. Gosh, how fast time flies.

Cheerio!

Wedding Bells

I will be attending two weddings this weekend. One on Saturday and another on Sunday. Actually, I've been attending weddings every week for the past two weeks and will be attending more weddings weekly until the end of June. Quite intimidating if you consider the fact that I am yet unmarried and it does look like I will continue to be unmarried this year. So far the wedding bells seems to be chiming for everyone else but me this year.

Congratulations to my friends, Couple Number One: Azlin and Danial and Couple Number Two: Norlida and Rapiz; both couples are tying the knot tomorrow.

These wedding bells reminds me of this beautiful quote uttered by a bride in the movie Leap Year which I found to be a very heartfelt message that most brides would wish for from their grooms. May you never steal, lie or cheat. But if you must steal, steal away my sorrows. If you must lie, lie beside me all the days of my life. And if you must cheat, cheat death.

To both Azlin and Norlida, I would like to wish you Congratulations and may you find happiness, joy and content with your partner and may you be blessed with beautiful children and a good and fulfilling life ahead *amin*.
