Stranger than strange

As the office is busy in preparation of being audited end of the month, stranger than strange things happened.

One is related to my NZ alumni group (kita semua ber-facebook).It's a nice cosy group.Don't expect everyone having the same kepala, OK? So naturally..Msians being so politically alert, ada la mcm2 prefered politics and political parties.Some people think if we shout and scream at each other we don't love each other anymore.When you were younger ..didn't you gadoh with your tunang, bf/gf? You didn't stop loving each other, kan?

So something happened.Someone quit the group.Heboh satu kampong! People hypothesised why he left.Ada kata dia merajuk.Ada kata sebab postingnya kena censored.Maka of cos' I punya fav. topic ialah freedom of expression and internet freedom.So berlambak pulak discussions on this.Which I liked and enjoyed.It's nice to read people voicing their opinions.Bercanggah pendapat tak semestinya kita tak hormat org lain.

Two, I have to cancel my trip to Hanoi walaupun everything is set (paper's done) cos' of the auditing thingy.I need to be at the office.This is the second time I'm invited and twice I can't go in the 11th hour.Sangat sedih!


Three, uni. assembly today very da nice.My first of 3 already held.The best part I liked most was the recognition given to Dato Azmi (who's leaving to be DG of IDB's Research Division.It is said he's the first Msian to be offered the job yang gajinya sama dgn Obama.Peeweet.We are so proud of him.I hope he returns and be our next Rector.Dia ni halus budi pekertinya and very da humble.)

The other best employee of the month is our telephonist, Sabri or Sobry.Never knew matanya tak nampak.He's always prompt bila angkat telefon tak mcm org celik yang lain.Apparently he's a leader in many NGOs dan tukang baca tahlil dan lain2 kerja agama.Dia diberikan pakej umrah percuma ...waaaahhh..so touching, kan? He cried, terharu.

Kalau dia nak sambung apa2 extension, his popular phrase is" Saya cuba, InsyaAllah." The word "dengan izin Allah" is his usual kalimah.Lidahnya sentiasa basah dgn nama Allah.Takbir!

Dan hari ini, selepas 23 tahun bekerja menjawab dan menyambung panggilan2 kami, baru kami kenal siapa dia telephonist yang bersuara lembut dan very punctual ini.

Nampaknya our female Rector is doing well, yah? As long as she's surrounded and advised by good people, she should be OK.InsyaAllah.
