On a higher floor

Kemasik - Still the same....quite.

Its been almost a week since my trip to Kertih. I am not quite sure when was the last time I been there but if my memory serves me right, the last trip was during the iPSB times...almost 5 years back.

Kertih has progressed a lot.....but I can still find those places I used to lepaks with the boys.....the good (and cheap!) local delicacies are still there.....how nice!

The trip was a success, tiring but rewarding in the sense that we (Che Lie and me) managed to achieve what we came there for. Thanks to the host PPTSB - Azami, Lan, Ramli, Ku Shah, KZ, Tuan Syed and all others....and all of the participants of the syndication sessions. I met my old colleagues from PEMSB - Foo, Muna, Zakila, Awie, Ain, Najib...oh my....they still remember me! I would have dropped by the PEMSB plant if I have the time but unfortunately time is rather short, maybe next trip.

Then, back to KLCC....and walla! A pleasant surprise awaits!

The room

We have a room on the 74th Floor! We have been assigned to a Sr Mgr's office space - me sharing with Che Lie!! We are yet (in my case - if ever!) to get the grades (and again in my case - if ever) the salary of a Sr Mgr but we already have a room!!! A room with a view of the northern part of the city - WoW!!

Elevated Highway

Oh well...its just temporary! But me being me - I'll just enjoy it while it lasts!

Kinda cool actually.....with the high expectations expected from the team, the room actually helps, for us to concentrate and deliver what is expected (and beyond perhaps) of us.

Talking about 74th Floor, it is the highest floor I have ever been assigned to. Though I am already in my fourth and shifting to fifth gear, I am still waiting my transfer letter......which I hope to be on my (temporary!) desk soon. Frankly, I have never felt so energetic and eager to come to work and get things done! This is really exciting, have never felt like this, not since the last time I was in a corporate project assignment....and today, coming back from the gym late in the afternoon to see what needs to be done for the next day, I just realized that....I am the only new face on that floor.....I may be wrong but the rest have been there (or the 72nd floor) before.....but how long am I going to be there and what's next? Ah well..we'll see how it goes Torque!

Che Lie & Fawie

Tower 2 view and the distance hills

Having said that, I almost have to burn another weekend for a facilitation session with the HR division but a last minute program re-arrangement made it possible for me to spend the time with my kids instead...and I could not think of any better way to spend a weekend!

Another weekend, another playground

Handsome boy!

Pretty girl!

Whatever it is that I have achieved, its all for Alisya and Naufal, who'll will be 2 years old soon....maybe things are starting to be better....well it has actually, ever since they came into our live....whatever it is that I do, I will always look forward to end the day with them, looking at their cute little faces, deep in slumber and I'd hug & kiss them and Mama.....and then maybe woke up in the middle of the night to hug them, to protect them from cold (they hate blankets!)

It wasn't like this 2 years ago....and I wonder what's it gonna be like 2 years from now....

my joy
