Sudden Vacation


Salam w.b.t and hi all,

How are you guys doing? It is been a while, as usual….Hehehe…

I am doing good, Alhamdulillah. :D

I am at home at the moment, about to start writing my next entry. I am not sure where should I start..erm…

 
Training in Abu Dhabi for three weeks. I did not enjoy it, so stress

I think I will start how I end up at home, ok?

I finished training course in  Abu Dhabi and travelled back to Doha on 27th April. Then, I had two days off in Doha, just relaxing, eating, washing, and watching Avengers: Infinity War. Then, on Sunday I called my manager and he informed me I can go for vacation. Because it is not busy in Doha and we have enough engineers in town. Well, I have been watching Doha since a week before and things are really slow during this time.


No QP and Oxy rigs running, as they have a casing break, completion, skidding, maintenance etc. For some reasons, all happens at the same time. As a result, we have extra personnel than the demand required. After confirming with the managers, oklah, I will go home although my mental is in the "Work my ass off - state". In the beginning, I am planning to have vacation in June, not now.





Anyway, bought a return ticket home and travel home the day after. I did not inform anyone at home, with intention to surprise my mother. Used Qatar Airways, trains and taxi, arrived at home around 7.30PM. She was totally surprised and did not expect to see me. Hehehe….
Home sweet home

On the next day, visited my sister's grandmother at the Rumah Kebajikan. She is the younger sister of my grandmother, a little bit unwell and she has been staying alone at this house in Kuang. It is not actually Rumah Kebajikan, it is more on Rumah Pengajian where all the old folks stay there and learn about Al-Quran. It is a small community there.

I haven't meet her for nearly two years, I believe. She took care of me and my siblings when we were small after my father passed away. She cannot see clearly as she had eyes operation last year. It took her a while to recognise me, by guessing after eliminating all the obvious options - my mother, sisters, and finally myself.


It is nearly one week I am at home. I visited my auntie in Sungai Buloh yesterday. She had three kids, and I haven't see them for nearly three years I would say. The eldest name is Nur Zahra, we took care of her when her second sibling, Muhammad Zhafran born. She was quite small, when we took care of her and it took all of us in taking care of her. She was way too energetic and highly spirit, she did not remember me when I arrived yesterday and quite shy. Now, she has third sibling, Zahirah Mawaddah who was born last year. I did not get a chance to see Mawaddah and I am taking this opportunity to meet her. She is now nearly 6 months old. 
Zahirah Mawaddah, 6 months old.

Ladies and gentlemen, presenting Zhafran and Zahra there with me. LOL



All these three kids are really well behaved, and solute to my auntie in disciplining them. Zahra loves books, Zhafran can listen to what we say, and Mawaddah is not scared of people. Good, as they need to take care of their mother when they grow up. Zahra already shows leadership as my auntie giving her task to take responsibility of her siblings. She is 5 years old, mind you.


On 9th Mei, there will be a general election for Malaysia. I will go for voting at my old school, Sekolah Kebangsaan Batang Kali.


My country is getting weaker and weaker every day. My mother told me, there is a rumor that there will be riot if the result of the general election is not in the favour of certain parties. So, many people already stock up their food, cash, and prepare for emergency plan if things go south. However, I don’t think the Malaysian people will go that far - riot.


I don’t know, honestly.


Will see after the election.


Anyway, that’s all for now. I have finished two books recently, Impian Jalanan by Teme Abdullah and Legasi Tombiruo by Ramlee Awang Murshid.


Worth reading.


Take care guys, I will update again soon.


P/S - What is your plan? My plan is go with the flow. It is still a plan, right?

 

See you at the next pit stop
