Back to work

After more than 10 days of holiday, I am now back to work. We've spent the first 3 days of Eidul-Fitri at my hometown, Kota Bharu. Then on the 4th day, we headed back to Taiping to celebrate the Eid with our relatives there.

It was a tight schedule for us. But Alhamdulillah, we still managed to visit some relatives and friends that we have not seen for years, particularly in Kelantan. I was so delighted to meet again my former teacher while I was in SK Kor (1990-1995), Puan Norizam Ariffin, among the names that I'd never forget in my life. Then, on the way back to Taiping, we were able to visit one of my best companions, Ahmad Hasanuddin Hj. Mukri. It was also the first time for both Hasanuddins (senior and junior) had a face-to-face session.

Solat terawih di Masjid UIAM.. saat yg pasti ditunggu setiap tahun. Semoga bertemu lagi di Ramadhan yg akan datang..ameen.

It's all over, so now let's put aside the hari raya mood, and concentrate on the work. When I entered the office this morning, there were few more forms under my door that I have to go through and sign. Well, it's one of my jobs now, to make sure that all the shortlisted companies for EIT are relevant to the field biochemical/biotech engineering. Otherwise, it won't be approved. They're quite strict now since students are no longer allowed to undergo their training at research-based institutions. It's difficult for biotech students then..

Huh!
