yippeeeeee!!! yesterday was one of the bestest day of the week cos met up with my 2 buddies to chill out!

was supposed to meet them at 4.45pm but got held up with some stuff at home.. reached city hall ard 5.45 and went str8 to starbucks raffles link.. we got so excited that the first thing in mind was "it's PHOTO-TAKING time!!!"..

got crazie and did lotsa poses.. the people in there might be thinking what crap are these gurls doin but so what? we din care what people think.. what's important is that we have FUN, FUN and more FUN!

somehow, the mood changed immediately and we started talking bout serious stuff.. death was one of them.. we recalled back how time flies so fast and some of our friends had goneback to Him.. really gave me the creeps..

decided to go to Esplanade after that but dropped by the toilet first, where one particular incident happened.. one which i can never forget in my entire life.. hahahah... too bad i can't share it here.. nanti ada org marah... *winks*

so off we go!! went to the Roof Garden or sumthing like dat.. and chilled for quite sum tyme.. took more pictures of course..

then, there was a performance goin on so we went down to catch it.. stayed for a mere 5 mins and the show ended (cos it had already begun since we were at the roof)..

so walked over to this building which i din noe it's name.. there's a big spinning wheel there.. took more pictures there and the effect from Nash's camera was nice!! sat there till abt 9pm..

walked over towards City Hall MRT and stopped by 7-11, the historical place where a hilarious incident used to happen.. *winks at Nash and Meya* bought Vitasoy cos kinda thirsty..

laffed our heads off on the way back.. really had an interesting and fantastic (gotta brush up on my vocab.. hehehe) day with my buddies!! luv u guys.. *hugs* must meet up again kay??

hassss!! if ur reading this, biler nak jumpa?! dah rindu kau lahhh.. meet up soon tau... *hugs*

i'll post up the pics of the outing as soon as i can.. oppsss.. errrr... my boss is back.. i'd better get to work.. byeeezzz! *poof*

weeeeeee~~~~

today's been a FANTASTICALLY BOMBASTICAL day!! and it's definitely one of the best dayz this week..

started out pretty early today.. woke up at 6 feeling refreshed despite lacking sleep.. had been looking forward to this day since last Saturday cosssssssss.... today's the continuation of the Basic Counselling Course module.. hehehehe...

been trying to practise the art of counselling thru role-playing with Khai, a youth of Al-Falah and also one of my close guy buddies a.k.a bradder.. we can never seem to find a way out of the tangle..

was one of the early birds to reach Sengkang CC.. chatted wif Pak Salim and anudder man from Masjid Kg Delta bout the course and also some other stuff pertaining to mosque activities.. Khai and Kak Alisa arrived shortly and we went up to the designated room..

so the course started in full swing.. unlike last wk, i was more open to ask questions though i still feel my face blush whenever the attention is on me but well, i could say that's an improvement.. hahaha..

most of the questions asked were more spontaneous now that the basics were already taught.. even me, the one who can never ask the right questions at the right tyme, was on the right track.. furthermore, the instructor and his wife were very friendly and sporty bout the questions..

had a few main role plays where the instructor, Mr Mohd Ali, became the client and all of us, counsellors.. so we were to shoot him questions based on what the situation was.. and bear in mind that there were a few pointers to keep in mind..

1) Always paraphrase a certain point when u want to explore another new point..
2) Explore as much as u can on a certain point so u can see a bigger picture..

but during these main role plays, i kept quiet and watched how the flow of questions were asked so that i can see a pattern..

only during pair role plays did me and my partner practiced what was being taught.. for the first one, i became the counsellor.. and Kak Alisa became the client.. everything went smoothly and i managed to follow the pointers given but i came upon a new problem..

I RAN OUT OF QUESTIONS TO ASK!

hahahah.. weird huh? until Kak Alisa had to prompt me to see from anudder view..

in the second role play, i teamed up with Khai and this tyme, i was the client.. had too much to talk in fact (not that i'm good in spinning yarns).. maybe we were a lil stressed up cos Mdm Nooraini, Mr Mohd Ali's wife, were at our table listening to our conversation.. so our performance wasn't at our best.. *smilez*

at the end of the session, we wrapped things up and did a brief summary of what was being taught thruout the 2 sessions.. also had to complete a feedback form.. and finally, the moment we've been waiting for - Certificate-giving Ceremony..

can't wait to get real experience in counselling people (pls note that i'm not yet a counsellor cos it takes more than just a "2-days crash course in basic counselling" to become one.. i'm still what u call a PARAcounsellor and a normal human being, i might add.. *grinz*).. still nervous tho but excited all the same.. hehehe..

maybe i'll try the tools on people i noe first.. anyone wants to volunteer?? *winks*

down with fever..

caught the bug on Wednesday.. there's only me & Pak Yahya in the office cos Kak Alisa & Kak Mas had some parents day session goin on..

was already feeling unwell cos the freaking aircon was extremely cold.. *bbbrrrr* stewpid aircon.. when it's 20 deg, it feels ice cold.. if u increase it by a degree or two, it becomes warm..

so, headed to the doctor yesterday and was given 2 days MC.. the only thing i did yesterday was bum around.. slept, eat, watched VCD, slept again.. lol~ and currently, i'm developing a bad cough.. u noe those that sound pretty much like dogs barking?? yep.. that's the one..

*sigh* dear's away for 3 days.. he's now in Ubin undergoing some stewpid camp thing.. and i can only meet him till next weekend.. dats like a LOOOONNNNNNNGGGG, LOOOOOONNNNNGGGGGGG way to go! it's gonna feel like an eternity... *sigh*

missing my buddies.. Nash & Meya, can't wait for the meet up this Sunday.. we're gonna let our hair down yeah?! woooohoooo!!

Has - haven't heard from her for quite a while.. hope ur doin fine darling.. meet up soon kays?? mish u much! *muahz*

kay, dats bout it for now..

btw, i guess if the Management needs some new ideas to improve the condition of the place, i'll suggest Feedback Forms.. wonder y? so i can suggest they get a new aircon unit.. haha..

phewww~ finally Korban is over..

had a tough month.. the fact that Korban kept being postponed made it worst.. been looking forward to this project since i stepped into work but now that its over, i can't help but be thankful.. not that i din like helping out for it but the whole procedure really has worn me out and i'm in for a longggg rest...

been working 24/7 for the past two weeks.. yup, all they way from Monday to Sunday for 2 wks.. hope the management people come to realise how lucky they r.. hahaha..

yesterday - the BIG event.. woke up early despite getting to bed late since i gotta call up the participants for Korban regarding the change in plans.. kak alisa called up ard 10 saying that i had to report to work by 12.30 cos there's still sum werk to be done..

left around 4 to go to Madrasah Aljunied cos that's where we'll be doing the sacrificing of the sheep.. tho we packed all the items carefully and double checked that all the stuff were packed, we still forgot some stuff.. so i went back to the office to get them..

people started comin in ard 5.. and by 6, the registration counter was crowded.. gabra sekejap.. haha.. there's the 3 of us at the counter but still we din manage to work fast cos of little coordination..

the sheep were supposed to reach Singapore by 2.30pm.. and we'll be officially starting the sacrifice ard 6pm.. but by 7, the sheep still have yet to reach the madrasah.. people were starting to get restless due to the heat.. and a few miscommunication occurred..

the first batch of 103 sheep arrived ard 8+.. i watched how the sheep were pushed down from the lorries.. kesian jugak seyyyy.. some were pulled and tossed aside to keep them moving in the right direction.. managed to get a few pics of the kambing in my phone.. just to keep as memories.. *grinz*

went back to the counter after tt cos Halid was already requesting us to get back to werk.. soon, everything was in full swing.. they kept on calling the numbers but they overlooked that there was only 103 sheep.. so, the people were forced to wait again.. many voiced out their impatience to wait longer..

so, the Korban committee had a meeting in which they found out the next batch of sheep will only be reaching the madrasah at 12.30 in the morning.. so, the Chairman decided to have a briefing for the participants before things get outta hand..

and, out of the remaining 247 participants, only about 50 decided to stay to wait for the next batch of sheep.. one of them was Ms Faruzah Osman.. she's really very amiable and sporty about the situation.. she didn't blame us for the situation like most did.. in fact, that was one of the reasons y we let her go first when the sheep arrived.. hehehe.. but shhhhh, it's only between us ok??

by 2am, there's not much work to be done so i went to the slaying area to see how it's being done.. they caught the sheep and lay it down sideways.. then they started to say the takbir.. very 'sayu' (can't think of any other words to describe it).. the sheep wasn't even struggling.. like it knew it's fated to go thru it..

nearly cried when they cut it's throat.. dunno y but i pitied the poor thing.. asked Ustaz if it's ok if i feel sad and he said it's ok but think of the goodness of it as the sheep will receive it's 'ganjaran' in akhirat..

some of the sheep kicked about when left to die but while others died peacefully.. later, when i discussed this issue with one of the ushers, she said that when they slit the throat, the sheep will be braindead and will not bear any pain.. the kicking is only due to the body's reaction.. felt better after i heard that.. at least the sheep doesn't have to suffer when it's dying..

went off ard 4am after my mum called me asking what time i wanted to go home.. initially wanted to get a cab but Cikgu, the Chairman of Al-Falah offered me a lift home and he won't hear no as an answer.. so, took my share of the daging korban and went off.. din talk much cos i was very tired and only when Cikgu or his wife asked anything, then i would say something..

talked to dearie fer a while b4 dozing off.. hehe.. his time to wake up and my time to sleep.. woke up pretty late today and still feel tired after the long sleep..

well, to think of the good side of it, everyones getting a 3-day off for this Korban project.. today, the office is closed as all the staff are on leave.. so, it's 2 more days to go..

ok, i shall leave u now while i think about it.. hmmmmmmm....

beautiful DrEaMs @ 7:36:00 pm

*groan* it's been a LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG week..

shall start with Saturday.. overall a fun but tiring day.. had to wake up at 6 to go for the Youth Probation Course.. was looking forward to that cos the instructor will be teaching us the method and tools needed for counselling.. he taught us ways to identify if someone is lying by their eye movement.. hehe.. and also how to engage these youths into conversation.. had some role-playing which i thoroughly enjoyed.. but i certainly need to learn more cos i'm no longer the probing person i used to be.. hahah.. the course ended ard 4.30pm.. there'll be a second part on the 29th and i can't wait for it.. *grinz*

after the course, dear picked me up to send me to the airport.. apparently, i had to work that day cos they're short of manpower.. so only met him for a brief 1 hour before parting.. sad rite? *sobs*

werked with my aunt as usual.. dear called ard 7+ asking if i want him to come and fetch me after werk.. i told him its ok cos i was worried he'll be tired but part of me wanted to meet him.. so, its agreed tht he'll fetch me after werk..

he came ard 10.55pm and waited a while b4 i knock off from werk.. drove ard while chatting.. even a plan as simple as that can make me feel so satisfied.. *sigh* can't wait for next yr.. when we're officially married.. kan sayang kan? i just love his company..

ok enuff bout that.. the whole of this week has been HELL.. there's SOOOOOO much work to be done.. and Halid is not helping much.. he's always giving last minute assignments to be completed.. imagine printing out hundred of tags and writing the details on them and you have to complete them by 2 days?? even came back on Sunday to complete them.. *sigh* physically and mentally tired.. i'm really looking forward to catch up on my beauty sleep..

took leave on Monday to rest my body and mind.. ouh yah.. i found out anudder piece of good news today..

the pay i'm gonna receive will allow me to save up enuff for my wedding next year!! Yey!!

hehehe.. opps.. overexcited.. haha.. ok, gotta get back to werk.. and yah.. if anyone need some counselling, feel free to tag me! maybe i'll get to practise my skills on u.. hahaha.. *winkz*

been having a pretty hectic week..

korban registration is in full blast now that mosques in residential areas have closed their registration.. so next stop for these people - Al-Falah Mosque..

we're taking in 200 registrations this yr and combined with Aljunied's amount would total up tp 350 sheeps.. and so far, we've only hit the 100 mark.. stress stress stress..

pak yahya would try his best to get people to register for korban.. imagine that! the mosque manager himself carik orang untuk korban/aqiqah.. two thumbs up to him!! so far, he haven't showed me his short-temperedness.. thank god for that.. cos if he does, i'm not sure i can handle it.. *smiles*

haven't been out with my peeps for a long while now.. miss them so much.. *hugs*

hopefully by the end of this month i'll get to spend quality them with all my loved one.. my family, my cats (cos now, even they ignore me!), my buddies, my friends, my switheart... i miss u all!!

and yup! good news for me! i'm officially permanent staff in Al-Falah! wooohoooo!!! if u want to find me, i'll be justttt an email away... raudah@alfalah.mosque.org.sg.. *winkz* till then, take care!!!

yesterday was EXHAUSTING..

my sweet dearie picked me up and sent me to work cos he need to send back the car he rented for our JB trip.. stayed wif me in the office till ard 10+ b4 goin off..

had a lot of clearing up to do cos kak alisa is coming back from her 3-months-long maternity leave.. so i have to shift places tmr..

had a lot of things to do.. went up to NUAF to get the laptop and hp printer.. luckily abg kassim helped me out.. then cleared out the space i'm supposed to work at..

later in the afternoon, abg halid called up.. he nagged and nagged bout the secretarial post he gave me for admin dept for the Korban project.. said i was naive and tts y i told kak mas.. now the whole thing is a big hoo-haa.. whatever~ *rolls eyes*

switched on my hp fer a while to check for msgs cos the batt died.. nash msged me asking if i wanna meet up with meya and her but i already made plans after werk.. sorrie darlings! called nash up to tell her cos i used internet sms and din noe if it reached her but noone answered.. so assume they might be watching a movie..

nash called up the office after that.. hehehe.. they asked me if its ok to meet up just for a while outside Al-Falah.. so i said ok..

called me when they're already outside.. missed them so much and was so glad to meet up with my honeys.. and i tot they must have missed me so much to actually take the trouble to come allllllll the way from Cineleisure.. but

SURPRISE!SURPRISE!

meya bought fer me some stuff from Australia and they came just to send the items to me! how sweet!! i'm so touched.. love you guys! *hugz* then we took a pic with the kambing poster.. hehehe.. turned out pretty nice..

pak yahya called me in a while later cos some guy wanted to register for Korban.. hmph! kacau daun lahhhhh.. baroo nak lepaskan rindu dah kena panggil..

continued counting the tabung kedai till i nearly become cross-eyed.. whoahhhh.. by the tyme i finished, my head was spinning due to the strain..

dear came to fetch me ard 6.. but i had some stuff to settle so he had to wait fer me.. sorrie dear.. left ard 6.20..

initially, i wanted to go home cos i was really tired.. but thinking that i won't get to see dear so often after this wednesday, we decided to catch a movie.. wanted to watch "Meet the Fockers" but seats were filling fast and even if we watched, we'll be in the first few rows.. so, ended up watching "London Voodoo".. very slow plot.. din really enjoy it.. felt sleepy halfway thru.. but refrained from sleeping there and then.. hehehe..

went off after the movie.. took 65 with dear and slept in the bus.. damn.. must be freaking tired that i slept so soundly..

dear stayed at my house till ard 11.30.. poor him.. had to take a cab home again.. *grinz* told me he was very tired and furthermore it was quite late.. also said that that'll be the last tyme he's taking a cab home from my house.. yerlahhh.. kalau mcm gitu slalu mcm mana nak kahwin kan?? lol~

p/s: oppppsss~ i forgot to mention.. i throwed a tantrum again yesterday! sorrie dearrrr... =P

Thursday

just cudn't get enuff of dear.. so met him again after werk.. as usual, he fetch me from werk and we went to watch Kung Fu Hustle at Cineleisure.. i'd rate the movie a 4.5 out of 5!! if ur looking for a movie that can make u spill ur intestines wif laffter, i'd suggest this one! hahaha..

nuttin much happened today.. just did my jualan outside Al-Falah in the morning.. dear came over to Orchard ard 10+ to get the car he rented.. wanna noe y? read on till Saturday.. *grinz* but he din came by for Friday prayers cos too soon.. he went jammin with the other guyz till ard 5.. called him up to confirm if he's picking me up and ended up having a lil misunderstanding.. i'm quite sensitive these few days due to my lack of sleep and rest and also from my PMS.. furthermore, they were having the collection for clothing and medication for the tsunami victims for that day.. so pretty hectic.. sorrie dear if i made u worried.. cleared up the misunderstanding after that.. he came to pick me up at 6 with the Hyundai Matrix he rented and due to my short-term memory, i can't remember what happened after that.. lol~

Saturday

the day that i've been looking forward to.. me, my family & i are going to JB!! yey! left home with mum ard 9.10am.. dearie was waiting for us at the carpark.. drove over to 140+ to pick up aunt, uncle & cuzzie yani.. and our expedition begins...

my cuzzies wani and shah came back from town with food.. had a lil confusion cos both dearie and my cuzzie were SHAHs.. everytyme someone said shah, both would turn.. hehehe.. until my uncle teased saying shud call 1 shah kampung and 1 shah bandar.. lol~

ate again.. there's lauk rebung masak lemak which was yummy, ikan terubuk masin and also anudder fish dish.. ard 2+, my cuzzies bought pisang goreng.. (ouk-ouhhhh.. there goes my diet!) just ate 1 goreng pisang and 1 sukun..

went sight-seeing after that to Tanjung Piai.. there were holiday chalets built on water there.. very breathtaking scenery of the sea and it was very windy.. took a stroll wif dearie while the rest ordered food.. took a picture with my camera phone and the results was nice! like a honeymoon pic.. *grinz* joined the rest to eat mee hoon soup and mee goreng..

went to Kukup next.. watched the ferries and the boats and the kelongs b4 going shopping.. bought a new pair of sandals cos my old ones snapped on Friday.. and for a gd price.. only 10 freaking ringgits for a nice pair of sandals! mum told me to get a t-shirt for dearie.. he saw one nice one.. but said it was too pricey.. so we went to other shops but everything was just o-k.. in the end, bought the t-shirt we saw at the first shop.. and dear had the last piece for M size.. hehehe..

after that, ate again! but din oreder rice.. instead, we ate seafood! there's butter prawn, fried cumi-cumi dipped in flour, chilli crab and also tom yam soup.. yum yum! shared with dear most of the things cos quite full..

later in the evening, went to Giant to buy groceries.. bought cereals to eat at werk.. left ard 8+..

slept in the car till 9.15.. felt much better after the nap.. stopped by near causeway to get a drink but ended eating for the gawd-noes how many tymes.. the prata there was superb! finger-licking quality.. dear got some mags after that and we were off to home..

slight jam at causeway and reached home ard 11.30.. very exhausted but i bet dear felt much more tired than me.. so, i called him up on the way home so he won't feel so sleepy..
