rotation rules

we have a new rotation rule at the office. before this, if you were placed at application counter, you'll remain there until further notice. for example, i've been placed at the application counter since i reported duty on november 2010 and i've been there until now. counter 1 is my counter, huhu.. since, this new rotation rule is being introduced, we got the chance to be at all the unit there is in the passport department. there is information counter (forms and numbers are given here as well), application counter, payment counter (only selected few can receive payment), passport processing, collection counter and kiosk (revewal via machine).

when this first started, i was placed at kiosk for two weeks. after that back to my root (expertise), application counter for a month. next in line is information counter for one week followed by collection counter for two weeks. right now, i'm at the passport processing unit. i'm quite new in processing, so i'm learning a lot of new things here. i will be at processing unit for five weeks and then back at kiosk and so on. i prefer this new rotation rule since we can learn a lot of things and made us more capable in working here. oh, there's one more unit i forgot to mention, the investigation unit. this unit is not put in this rotation rule since it involves long term cases. so it'll be much better if the same person is in charge.

as for hari raya, i didn't apply any extra leave. i think the given leave is enough since i'm not married and i have no in-law's kampung to go back to. i usually celebrate the first day of raya in segamat which is my mom's hometown and in the afternoon, we usually (me, my parents & siblings who are there on first raya) go back to my dad's hometown in felda taib andak, kulai. sadly this raya, both of my grandmothers are not here anymore since they passed away early this year (al-fatihah). i never got the chance to meet my grandfathers, well maybe fo a little while on my father side but he passed away when i was about three years old. maybe, when i'm married, i will apply extra leave to go back to my in-laws hometown. i'm wishing hard that my future husband's hometown is not so far from mine, huhu...

ps: already applying time off this friday to go back home and it was approved! yeah, iftar with my beloved parents! :)

my iftar so far...

iftar at secret recipe

honestly, i only started fasting on the fifth of ramadhan due to normal woman circumstances. i also couldn't celebrate first ramadhan last year, huhu.. so, from the fifth ramadhan until the seventh ramadhan at home. my sister always cook meal for iftar. unfortunately, on eight ramadhan she went outstation and brought the whole bunch along, leaving only me and putri (my sister's maid). since, i don't have the mood to cook, i brought putri to iftar at secret recipe, precint 3 putrajaya. i chose that venue since it was near to masjid besi. after iftar, we went straight to masjid besi to perform maghrib, isya' and terawikh prayers.

iftar at masjid besi

on sunday, i brought putri to central market since she want to buy some souvenir to bring back home. she will be going back on the 2nd august for a month. my sister and her husband will take turn taking leave in order to take care of the children. and on sunday, we had iftar at home after buying the foods at bazaar ramadhan, precint 2. it was the first time this year that i went to bazaar ramadhan. and today, for the first time ever, i had iftar at masjid besi, putrajaya. we had ayam sambal. sayur pisang & ikan kering masak lemak and sambal belacan. it was delicious. we are having iftar for stj99ers at equestrian park on the 11th of august and this weekend, i'm looking forwards having iftar at HOME!!! by HOME, i mean segamat with my parents!!!

it's leo!!!

i would love to take this opportunity to wish happy birthday to all the leos in my family! to my nephew, hazim who turns 12 tomorrow, to my lovely sister in law, kak intan who looks young and radiant as ever, no one would believe your age (maji desho~), to my beloved, caring, gentle, bestest mom in the world who will turn 68 on 30 july, and to my two cute nieces, farisah and yasmin. do claim your presents from me, ok! if u didn't receive one on your birthday, please alert me! either i forgotten or i'm still looking for the perfect gifts to give all you lovely people. have a wonderful birthday!

ps: how true... you really don't care about all those things when you truly love someone...

welcome ramadhan 2012/1433H

the holy month, ramadhan is here again! as usual, i hope i would do better this year compared to the previous years.. by doing better, i mean to perform more solat terawih and recite more quran. happy ramadhan to all muslims!

[SONG] Kinki Kids ~ Nothing But You

tameiki ga tokesouna saishuu wo matsu hito no nami

aitai omoi ni bonyari yurareru dake de

My sigh looks as though it's about to melt In the midst of the crowd waiting for the end

My thoughts of wanting to see you just swayed vaguely

tayorinaku nagareteku dokoka de kiita ano Melody

nandomo tashikameta nukumori ga sameteku you de

Powerlessly flowing is that melody I heard somewhere

That warmth I made sure of countless times began to turn cold

Day by day, with you nanimo kamo yurushiaeta hibi

sayonara sae ienakatta ano toki no mama

Day by day, with you were the days I could endure anything

I am still stuck in that time on that day when I couldn't even say goodbye

ima aitakute tada aitakute

anata no nukumuri wo sagashite shimau

itsuka dokoka de kitto dokoka de

anata to mouichido meguriaitai

I just want to see you, love you, hold you again

All I want is you nothing but you

I want to see you now I just want to see you

I searched for your warmth

Someday somewhere, surely somewhere

I want to run into you once again

I just want to see you, love you, hold you again

All I want is you nothing but you

sukoshizutsu sukoshizutsu kisetsu ga utsuri kawaru tabi

dokoka de aimai na kage dake ga nokosareteiku

Little by little Little by little everytime the season changes

Somewhere only a vague shadow is being left behind

All my love to you kono omoi todoku nara tsuyoku

dakishimete mou hanasanai to tsutaetai noni

All my love to you if this thought reaches you, I'll strongly

hold you although I want to tell you that I won't let go of you anymore

ima aitakute tada aitakute

anata no nukumori wo sagashite shimau

itsuka dokoka de kitto dokoka de

anata to mouichido meguriaitai

I just want to see you, love you, hold you again

All I want is you nothing but you

I want to see you now I just want to see you

I searched for your warmth

Someday somewhere, surely somewhere

I want to run into you once again

I just want to see you, love you, hold you again

All I want is you nothing but you

soshite itsuka wa mune ni shimau yo

anata e no omoi ga kako ni natte mo

tashikana mono wa nanimo nai kedo

namida kawaitara aruki daseru yo

And then someday I'll shut this in my heart

Even if my thoughts to you become a past

There's nothing certain but

Once my tears dry, I'll be able to walk forward

ima aitakute tada aitakute

anata no nukumori wo sagashite shimau

itsuka dokoka de kitto dokoka de

anata to mouichido meguriaitai

I just want to see you, love you, hold you again

All I want is you nothing but you

I want to see you now I just want to see you

I searched for your warmth

Someday somewhere, surely somewhere

I want to run into you once again

I just want to see you, love you, hold you again

All I want is you nothing but you

ps: yup, feeling rather romantic lately.. so, here's a song by kinki kids.. really hoping it would reach to the one.. :)
