Norly's Lamin

Today I was feeling a little bit sick and had a minor fever (ada kah?) but I know am getting the fever when my whole body aches, my throat feels dry, a throbbing headache and my eyelids getting heavy. For the last few days, after all the commotion last week, seems everything is settled already (I think la....). Currently I'm temporarily placed at a spare room outside the boss's room. Nasib bait bah nemu bos yg sik byk bunyi kedak ya...alhamdulillah. I've settled myself nicely there already though some of my stuff are still at my old office..oh well!..it's just another floor, so what nak...It's a quiet office with a staff strength of 8 staff. Cool huh?...am trying to adjust myself to the whole environment actually.

I just don't know how to start with this entry actually. Today was quite a day for me. I reported for duty in my new office. So there I was busy packing and unpacking my stuff plus running around without an office. Why? I was suppose to enter my office but apparently for some sick reason the former assistant just won't budge from her seat. The officer had a very hard time trying to get her out of the office. Instruction was very clear indeed but she just won't accept it. Aiyooo...pening pala lah...

Linut Ikan sepat & ikan kembong masin Sayur keladi rebus that goes very well the linut, sambal & ikan2 masin... Nok tiga org tok sik pat jauh.... Entrance gerai kamek orang Sambal belimbin tunjuk...(antara yang terlaris) Sambal belacan cecah linut original Mukah style Ada punch, ada cocktail, ada puding telor, ada pulut turap n of course kek2 lapis Sarawak Anak2 staf Unimas dari Tadika Unimas... Linut (among the hot favourites) Punch orange Staf2 manis Canselori... Su, tokey linut, Reen (gago nar juak eh)..Kak Nor..chief...(d best!!!) Ramah tamah Aidilfitri was successfully organised by Chancellory and coincidentally our stall won the best stall. I guess we won because of the menu, typical Sarawak menu and our stall was a hit with the number of visitors who came specially for the linut & sayur keladi. Most came for the 2nd and several more rounds later just for the linut & sayur keladi. None of us expected to win though. But we did though some were not happy...

Linut(before) Linut (after) Sambal cecah for the linut Dry version of sambal cecah Umai, can't go without it Jekan masin also home-made from Igan Jekan sibit (home-made from Igan) Ikan Duai putih aka ikan bawal putih masak asam pedas Last Sunday, we had a so-called family get-together at my aunt's place. These were among some of the typical Melanau dish that we had, simple yet filling and of course diak nyam. Slurrrp!!!

Today is my last day here at Chancellory, it has been 6 years serving two DVC's, the first was DVC of Student Affairs and my current boss DVC of Research and Innovation. My feelings, personally, heartfully, rather a mixed feeling engulfing me at the moment. Me and some of us at Chancellory has gone through some good times and bad times together. I've seen staff come and go. And now it's my turn..didn't realise how hard it was for me to let go. I'm getting too comfortable already here...bad sign huh?...(sigh!!!!)

I came to the office today though I was still on leave, actually my last day. It's been a week after raya. Am still tired, sleepy and obviously my laughter nor giggling can't hide my tired puffy eyes. The office was still quiet, most of my muslim colleagues still on leave. Next week we'll be having the farewell potluck for my boss and another boss. I have not prepared anything yet, I mean the quotation for the program. Masih hang gik tok....guess I'll be doing it this morning too. Ya, as I'm typing it's 0222 am in the early hours of the morning. Can't seem to get myself to sleep, must be due to the dark nescafe I had earlier this evening. I wish to type more but the words and the sentences that doesn't seem to make any sense at all. I guess I have to continue later.
