The thing I miss the most about my department in PDRM is... how "noisy" and cheerful we were, especially when both Miah's were in a "heated" albeit friendly arguments. Kak Reha always laughing and cheerful; Alina and Sue with their "manja-ness"... Farid, the only thorn among the roses, Kavitha although an Indian lady but speaks immaculate Bahasa (aku pun tak terer BM macam dia...hehehe), kak Lenny who is also much like kak reha...always cheerful, Mimi...garang dalam lemah-lembutnya, Ros...kecik2 cili padi nye...not forgetting kak Lia (now in KM Kulim), kak Umi (now in MRSM Kubang Pasu), kak June (in MRSM Pasir Salak), Kak Sally (BPS HQ), Zura (BEK HQ), Annies (MRSM Kubang Pasu)....

Our annual English Camp is always an event we look forward too, besides the Minggu Bahasa la...hehehe.... Cameron Highland, Langkawi, Muar, Beseri...and many other places that we went to, simply bond us closer.

I hope one of these days I'll be able to visit PDRM and my friends. To at least do one more "laungan" from one end of the dept to the KJ's cubicle. Kak Lenny, all the best...depa nakal kalu, "balun" ja....hehehehe.

Udin's "diploma" convo took place last 1st December 2008.Unfortunately I was unable to attend as I had to attend a 5-day course in KL that week.Anyhow, congrats bro... he graduated with a CGPA of 3.68 and is currently doing his 2nd year EE degree at UiTM Shah Alam.

For the first time in my life, I had the chance to eat…well, I don’t recall its exact name, but let’s call it “sireh kadok”.

For lunch today, the whole Jabatan Pengajian Am went to Kings & I café, owned by King’s Hotel, Melaka. We chose to have their 4-course “Thai lunch-set”. We were also given a small glass of lemongrass (serai daa…) juice (each) as a welcome drink… After a few sips, I decided that I …don’t like the taste.

Anyway, the starter was that sireh kadok item. Since no one has ever eaten it, our waitress-in-charge willingly obliged to help us with the course. First she folded the leaf into a cone, then she filled it with one or 2 bits of each condiments and finally, a spoon of its gravy. Then, eat it all in one go...
