i hav loads of things to blog about... Frankly speaking, it all stopped when i was in Beijing. I couldn't access the Blogspot or Facebook from there when the internet at the hotel was FREE.. hehehe actually it's RMB10 per hour but the conference attendees get it for free during the stay at the hotel. Tak pe lah... nak wat cemana kan hehehehe...
After China, Kak Long and Abg Asrul came with their kids. Hav loads of fun with the kids and the toys we bought them.Aqeel is a big boy already.. How time flies... Aunty Lurve je yang mcm Aunty Lurve lagi hehehehe...

Nasib baik tak jatuh. terpele'ot je..BUt untill now, i am still in pain.Can't rotate my ankle 100%. Nak solat pun hav to seat on the chair.. Lama nya tak Sujud... ...

Saya tidak mengikuti perkembangan AF8 lansung. AF7 pun saya tak ikuti sangat...Tapi lagu lagu juara AF 7 dan kawan kawannya yang lain saya tahu...Kali terakhir saya mengikuti AF ialah pada tahun 2008, tahun Stacy menjadi juara. Saya tak kenal siapa Shahir dan kawan kawan seangkatan yang lain. Tapi bagi saya, dia ada potensi. Semoga dia tidak hanyut di dalam arus industry seni tanah air kita...Insyallah...
Dan bagi saya, saya bahagia dalam perpisahan.. =) Alhamdulillah...
Sukaaaa !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I grab this baby at MYERS a day before leaving. Entah apa yang tgh di fikirkan masa tu, I dunno.... APa dah jadi? niat di hati tak nak beli benda merepek..Hehehehe.... Plus, the parfume smell will always differs, kadang kadang in Adelaide, it smells really nice, but sampai Malaysia, Hampeh....Vice Versa... But this one stays...Allhamdulillah....
I was suppose to do the Telegraphic Transfer to China in Adelaide but I was behind time. The scholarship provider pulak main achi lot Chak dgn the scholarship. It was delayed a few days. Deb the finance manager form housing office dah dua kali hantar notice late payment... Haissshhhh.... Tak pe, sabar.... sabar.... It finally came thru but still tak sempat nak buat TT tu.
So, i was thinking of doing it in Malaysia lah coz no other choice.. So, Monday after lunch, went to the bank. The first bank ( okay... i put there First bank...continue reading for more...) i went is of course my Bank lah.
The girl at the number counter was making a big deal out of my TT. I dun mind actually coz she's telling me things i dunno...but then, apa ke he nye kalau tak bawak buku tak leh wat TT. I have my ATM card with me, withdraw duit sudah la.. ko nak kecoh apa ? Puhleeezz laaa....dekat 10 minit deal dgn dia je.. belum dapat nombor lagi... tak pe, coz she's telling me the things that i dun know.. tak pe lah, at least kita dah tahu..still sabar ni..Then she issued me the number.So i went up coz the service counter is all upstairs. I waited patiently for my number. And when my number is up, i went to the counter.
Me : Selamat petang CIk, saya nak buat Telegraphic Transfer ke China.( sambil menyerahkan borang dan segala particulars kepada cik di kaunter tu)
Cik : Selamat petang.. Oo okay, sekejap ye cik... Nak pergi study kat China ke?
Me : Tak.. ada conference je..
Cik:Ok, so berapa nak transfer?
Me: RMB dot dot dot...(sambil menunjukkan amount yg dah di tulis kat kertas)
Cik : RMB? erm... maaf cik, matawang ni tak de dalam system kami...kalau Hong Kong Dollar ada ...
Me : !@#$%^&*()
I dun need to tell more about it coz i am 40% pist!!!! Bank jenis apa ni? apasal merepek sangat sampai matawang China pun tak recognize...I was wondering.
Okay, then I went to the bank next door.( tiba tiba terasa lucky pulak, sebab that one row of shophouse ada 4 bank.. jangan memain, 4 bank tau... sampai jadi hot spot dan jam penuh sesak dgn pelanggan bank setiap hari dari mula bank beroperasi hingga bank tutup, kat korner plak ada hospital...Aaarghhh talking about planning huh? atau cari untung? tak pe lah, who am i to complain kan....
So i pi the next bank... Ada la drama jugak, kita tanya kat the kaunter pertanyaan, dia suruh amik nombor dan tanya kat kaunter nanti.. Eh, terang terang kat meja ko tu tulis "Kaunter pertanyaan" and you are a bank officer kot !. When i reason things out dgn dia ( of course secara berhemah dan senyuman) dia escorted me to the counter without taking any number and the things are about to get to the boiling point.
Cik : yea cik,
Me : Selamat petang cik, saya nak buat TT ke CHina.
Cik : Ya, RMB...
Me : ( alhamdulillah dalam hati....) ok, ini particulars dan borang saya.
Cik : er cik, maklumat ni tak lengkap... kalau nak buat TT ke CHina ni cerewet sikit. kalau tak terima dia reject balik.
Me: (sabar...husna sabar...) Mcm mana pulak tak lengkap, ini semua ni maklumat yang Pihak China sendiri yang email pada saya...( which is a bank slip lengkap semuanya dari nama beneficiary , ccount number, semua mak nenek...)
Cik : Ni nombor telefon tak da.. berdasarkan pengalaman yang lepas, kami perlukan no telefon pihak university. CIk dapatkan no telefon pihak university dulu pastu datang semula..
Me : ( aiyohhh.....)
Okay... then, i went to the next Bank..after going thru the same procedure and finally got the the counter,
Cik : Maaf cik, ada masalah sikit
Me : apa masalahnya...
Cik : butir butir ni ada dalam Chinese character tak?
Me : WHAT THA >>>>> Terkedu saya di situ....
Cik : lagi satu, boleh ke cik email beneficiary ni tanya bank ni terima matawang USD tak?pastu cik datang semula lah
Me: Okay... Terima KAsih bannyak banyak ye ( with a smile)
3 Banks !!!! half a day.. Fine!!!
The next day, i was suppose to go and settle my Visa with the CHina Embassy.I brought along the printed particulars and RM to do the TT after the Visa thingy. Cantik pulak, kat ground floor tu ada BANK of China..I was like " Wahhhh !!!! SOnang korjo den..." Lepas settle VISA, lansung ke Bank of CHina, tak sampai setengah Jam, ALHAMDULILLAH.... smua settle..Sah SAh, bank dia kan...mesti lah senang..... siap the amoi kat kaunter tu recomend pi tempat tempat yang best.. hahahaha..... and orang kat Bank of CHina tu tak pun tulis in chinese characters mcm one of the banks nak buat, no phone number needed and so and so... =)
fated to be that way,
fated for me to go to 3 banks and deal with all the ruckus...
fated for me that Bank of China is already waiting there...
Fated to learn new things...
Heehh... Life's beautiful kan... =)
ALLAH dah letak segalanya cantik utk kita sebenarnya...
begitu jugalah dgn kehidupan kita....
ALLAH KNOWS BEST
and here's the bank i visited put at random not according to my visit...
if only i could reveal the sequences hehehe... tak pe lah, i'll keep the secret ya =)
Thanks Kak Sara for the award. I love reading her blog "Three Owlets,Ammi Owl and Baba Owl" very much.Telatah Yaya, Syaik(Adik) and Waidi...Kak Sara was carrying Waidi while in Adelaide.
Everything went well yesterday at the Adelaide Airport. No baggage Drama at the check in counter like last time...The lady at the counter told me, its automatic that students will get 30 kg when they present their student ID. And yeah..the lady at the MAS office pulak, kata benda ni dah abolished and passengers are only entitled to the amount of baggage allowance stated on their ticket. however, allowance up to 5 kg can be negotiated.
Although tak de drama kat check in counter, something happened on board huhuhu.. nanti kita cerita.. Zainun and Saiful sent me to the airport with their Kids. Feeza went by bus and meet me there. Tetiba ada pulak Ismah kat Airport hehehehe...Sungguh terkejut...And kebetulan Kak Long and Kak Dariah pun ada kat Airport jugak.Kak long nak pi Melbourne for holiday.
Ok, Back to the Drama on board... I was seated on an aisle seat in the center and was so happy. However, the inflight movie selection mcm boring skit...Heh heh heh.... bukan boring, tapi sebab most movie dah tengok kan...so i watched Valentine's Day sekali lagi while being served by a handsome steward/male model. As he was serving earlier and moving about, i saw him and thought he looked familiar.Tapi buat bodoh je la... Seated next to me is a lebanese/middle east couple in their 50's i guess. Something happened to the Lebanese/Arab guy and the steward was counting on me to help....Badabing, Badaboom.... I was rewarded with RM 100 MAS inflight shopping voucher. Hahahaha....
The Steward/Male model ni slalu kluar dalam Majalah pakai baju pengantin lelaki and men's wear. Nama kat name tag dia pun sah lah itu orangnya...He still look the same, as dashing as those days i always saw him on the magazine. Kalau tak silap, he got married a few years back. Wife dia pun sangat lawa =)
So Alhamdulillah, No drama at the check in counter and although there's drama on Air but just a little one and i got rewarded hehehehe.....
The Power of SMile
As we landed in KLIA, I walked all the way to the tram. While taking a seat in the tram, I smiled at this one indian lady seating near me. As i smiled, she took a glance at me and didn't smile back..."Wah...boleh tahan orng ni..." I was thinking. I saw her kept curi curi looking at me still all the way and I was like "Apalah yang dia ni dok tgk ni...." As i walked out the tram, she pat me on my shoulder...
Indian Lady : Excuse me, I am so sorry to ask this, but is that a ********* on your face
Me : Yes...It is..It's **********
Indian Lady : I am so sorry if you feel offended, me asking...
Me : No No No... It's okay... i get that a lot... ( with a smile ) The indian lady smiled back
Indian Lady : Are you on any treatment? You can get it treated you know ...
And i introduce my self, she introduce her self and we began chatting about it till we reach the baggage claim area.She is so interested and insisted me to go see someone in Adelaide.
Turns out she's a Doctor in Adelaide. We exchanged fon numbers and will keep in touch.
