About Me

I am married to my loving husband for more than 45 years now. I am a mother to 3 beautiful children, until years ago when I lost my youngest son. Since then my life is forever altered but yet unbroken....

Johor - Laksa johor… yum yum

“The man of knowledge must be able not only to love his enemies but also to hate his friends...” - Friedrich Nietzsche


Just came back from Kuching and already knee-deep in work and the boss is conveniently away on holiday!
'
This coming weekend, again I will accompany the big boss to our JB branch annual dinner. The small boss and the other deputy are tagging along too. Most probably we’ll need to stay till Monday for we need to attend a few meetings with the branch team.
'
The theme for the annual dinner is green and I do not have the time to look for green dress. Mentang-mentang dah hujan dua tiga hari ni, dah nampak hijau sikit dunia ni..

'Each of us is like one drop of rain,
A single splatter on the thirsty sand.
Remember, though, that drops fall not alone,
a grand harmony that waters the plain.
'Do not think, then,
that you're on your own,
A tiny drop upon a dying land.
But you are a storm,
whose green fields will remain.

  5. Kak Elle,
    Kalau gi official trip ni susah sikit nak melencong ke tempat lain. Maybe next time when we travel on our own leisure trip boleh menjengah kak elle di sana… he he…

    When I browse through my calendar, I will be on the move almost every weekend till end of June.

    kakpah,
    Penat tu penat jugak, lagi2 dah tak berapa muda ni. Badan dah tak lasak macam dulu lagi.

    Tak sabar nak retire and have all the time in the world to do anything we like...

    *****
    madam,
    Masa muda2 dulu kalau ada dinner or nak gi party, kita orang pakai baju ala-ala macam tu lah. Yang daring sikit pakai strapless or bare-back. Kalau i cerita pada anak2, dorang tak caya! Tapi itu zaman jahiliah dulu...he he...

    kak nong habiskan masa persekolahan di kota bharu, itu yang boleh kecek kelate. I am more of a kelantanese than orang melaka! Bagi lah nombor hp buleh kito contact bilo sampai kb nanti...

  12. kakNong, pakai je hitam dan cari tudung hijau.. I selalu trick macam tu kalau majlis ada theme color..haha,
    Oww.. itu laksa johor bikin saya laprrrrr...

    ReplyDelete
  13. Ann,
    Kalu ada invitation card tu lagi baik, need the alamat and peta. Sedih ubai will not be in KB that time. Babee pulok tak sure lagi. I have sent sms to the rest of the geng kat sini, like adilah, nik fauziah, nik aminah, nashidah, rozimah and dll yang kenal kita…

    mana lah tau musim cuti sekolah ni dorang balik kampong, boleh jumpa kat sana…

    *****
    Azer,
    Fantastic views from the front too, if you let imagination runs (wild?).

    Those were the days when our sexy butts command a second look from men, young and old... he he… When asked hubby, his answer - “still sexy laa…”

    *****
    cik milah,
    Good idea pakai baju hitam dan tudung hijau.. Baju hitam kak nong ada banyak, just nak cari tudung hijau je, senang tu…

    Kak nong memang suka laksa, serawak ke, penang ke, johor ke. Tapi laksa kelantan yang kak nong best sekali, gaul dengan belacan bakar... eee..

  14. pergh...

  15. IdzaRis79,
    Kak nong prefer kalau travel on our own.

    Tak lah tension sangat macam travel on official trip dengan boss. Banyak protocol and we do not have our own free time to go gallivanting or jalan-jalan cari makan...

    Next week lagi full calendar kak nong. Lepas JB balik kerja satu hari pastu gi Ipoh ada court case, then terus ke Penang ada audit meeting kat branch. Week after nak gi KB pulak ada old schoolmates gathering. Boleh pengsan dibuatnye…

    After this I am going for a long holiday, yeay!

    *****

  22. ok kak nong, how many branches do you have? kalau attend all branches punya annual dinner, boleh la pulun all the local specials!

    sampai johor tak makan lontong, mee rebus and soto sekali ka? :)

    ReplyDelete
  23. Mama,
    We have 6 branches jer… Previous years I will join annual dinner for 3 branches, my boss will take up the rest. Tapi this year is our 50th anniversary, pergi ramai2 nak meriahkan majlis. The branch pulak tension giler, pasal dorang kena brief us on branch initiatives and future direction… Besides annual dinners, I will go to the branches for surprise visits, stock verifications and audit meetings too…

    Pasal food tu, memang tak lepas peluang. Pulun habis! He he…

  32. Bunga Rampai,
    He he… berangan2 jika body kami masih dapat di maintain seperti lima wanita tersebut.

    Baru saja balik dari Ipoh dan Penang. Next week ke KT dan KB, combine official dan leisure trip. InsyaAllah akan bercuti lama selepas itu…

    *****
    Siti,
    Kalau tak ikut tema, mungkin akan nampak sumbang. Mereka2 ini serious dan akan compete antara branch untuk mendapat title best branch dinner...

    smiley,
    Kak nong di JB sekejap je. Wish I can visit your parents there. InsyaAllah, next time when time permits…
