Me & Gotong-Royong at Surau Kg Cacar

Together As One!

Date: 6 January 2011

Gotong-Royong... Hmm... What's the English word for this? I asked all availabale officemates, no one could answer it. I Googled it... and suprisingly, there's no direct translation. What I got were: reciprocity or mutual assistance. What is that?? So from the Dictionary of Belang-Belang...

Gotong-Royong: A group of people (villagers/school children and teachers/etc...) work together as a team to achieve a non-profitable objective (school spring cleaning/cleaning up after a wedding ceremony/etc...). An unselfish act for a good purpose and indirectly brings the whole team together.

I sound like a company's vission and mission statement!


Now that we got that cleared up... back to my story! Another round of department CSR activity which involved spring cleaning and make over of a small village musolla called Surau Kampung Cacar. It was raining quite heavily but the spirit of giving back to the community stayed strong in our pure hearts (Cewahhh!)... it could also be the KPI... but let's pretend that's not the case.

Installed tiles at the women's ablution area.

New paint!

Vacuuming the floor.

Dish washers!

New signbard.

Yeah... mission accomplished!

Bald Rock National Park, NSW

Date : 3rd November 2013 Bald Rock is a 3-hours drive from Toowoomba and I have been thinking of visiting it since last year. But I was not sure if it was a suitable trip for an infant. However, it is the largest granite monolith in Australia, which means it is a must-go! So best buds, Julie Zac and Zayra came to visit on 1st November. Was not sure where to bring them around Toowoomba. Oh well, let's try hiking then! Sunscreen for everyone!: At first, I was thinking of bringing Kimi's stroller through the Bungoona Walk. The Summit Direct Walk would be out of the question. A lady who just got down advised that it was not a good idea... And thank God for that... (What was I thinking??!) We had a plate of fried rice each at the picnic table to fuel us with energy! The best thing was, my 2 year old son was just as excited as the adults. He wanted to walk (or run) on his own and made it to the top! After walking half way, the view started to become ver...

Book: Sushi for Beginners

Date: 24 December 2010 Author: Marian Keyes She is definitely one of my favourite authors ever. The first book from her that I read was Under the Duvet, and the second was The Other Side of The Story - both I borrowed from UTM's library. She writes about characters with real life issues and manage to make the situation light although it's actually a dark topic. At the end of the day, readers will learn about complicated issues without feeling depressed. She delivers the message and adds humor to it - just brilliant! Plus, I learned a few Irish words! Sushi for Beginners is about the lives of 3 different ladies, all facing depressions. Different characters have a different coping mechanism. Synopsis: Lisa, a beautiful, career oriented lady is the b*tch boss from hell. She'll do whatever it takes to be the best at what she does, even if it means having no friends and family. The thing that drives her over the wall was when she actually sacrificed her marriage to ...
