IIUM Merdeka Parade

I'll post pics of the day later but our team won 1st prize in the IIUM Merdeka Parade. Punya la ngutuk earlier about how like sch kids we were being treated...pagi-pagi kena tunggu VVIPs (who would always not be on time..wal asr lah sangat!)..hampir 2.5 jam  nunggu..gosh..can we have some respect for time and us as researchers and scholars?? In two hours I could have done 50% of my paper for next week.

But winning 1st prize healed the sakit hati. :)) Ours was the largest and brightest (Prof Ridza kasi red caps and with more than 100 staff waving enthusiastically..siapa tak suka kan? Haha.Puji le diri sendiri cos' no one will)

I have workshop in the afternoon, gracing an award giving ceremony in the evening..paper to complete...hadoi..

Catatan malam

While at a traffic light jam on my way to Sal's before the award giving event, my front door car window was smashed and my Prada was snatched by two addicts on a motorbike.I didn't realise the loud explosion came from my window bursting into tiny pieces..syukur tak masuk mata etc.I thought it was frm an accident behind my car and when a motorbike hit my front door..I thought dia terjajar and my cermin pecah...rupa2nya dia guna liquid letupkan my cermin to grab my handbag yg kebetulan berisi segala mcm termasuk kunci ofis, rumah etc.We have changed all locks.No one cared as I screamed and honked unless they pasang geng apit me kiri and belakang in case things go wrong.But the driver on my left tanya akak kena rompak ke? I said yes.Did he see the guys.He said no.I told him I didn't know wht to do.He said go report at a nearby police station.I mana tau.I only knw home-work-Giant Batu Caves.

Then I called the sch and told them I tak boleh dtg.Cikgu Neela got Cikgu Kahar to escort me to the police.So sweet.They were both busy for the event.But when my nephew arrived,I told Cikgu Kahar (he's actually a sch principal) to attend to the impt event.But I appreciated their kindness.Nik sibuk tukar locks.Takut perompak dtg and he was busy making calls to my banks etc.

The scene at the police station lagi lah lawak.Later.

Mawar and FJ: haha..selepas berbual dengan polis veteran yg baik budi semalam, tak tergamaklah pulak nak tulis pasal apa yang berlaku di balai polis tu di hari kejadian without much censoring. :)
