A Job Well Done!

I deliberately ran away from my office today to do some untouched work somewhere else. I can never finish my work in my office cause coleagues will keep coming with extra work, sometimes advice (which usually takes hours to be delivered or shared) and not to mention gossipping in between. Not that I mind socialising but somehow, we have to balance the time on doing it and finishing the piles of work on the table. Alhamdulillah, the 2 hours or eloping paid off. 70% of my work is now done. Gonna do the rest later, if I still have the energy left though ...

Later this afternoon, I chaired a sharing session among officers in all departments in Brunei. There were supposed to be 6 presenters, which included a presenter from our department. All went smooth, Alhamdulillah, though one minor mistake happened ~ I seek assistant for a male officer to recite the Al-Fatihah before the session started but he started reciting it at once!! I meant to ask only for his approval at that time. So, the session started without a proper welcoming speech that I'd prepared. Other officers, who were engaged in conversations, had to stop conversing once hearing him recite the surah. A beauty isn't it! This shows how we Bruneians respect or value our belief and tradition ~ to be quiet when one recites the holy words of Al-Quran or the Azan :) More beautiful when a Chinese presenter stopped her presentation immediately upon hearing the Afternoon Azan (Asar) ~ our building is very near to a mosque.

In the middle of the presentation delivered by our department, our new No3 Chief and No4 Chief came to observe. They looked impressed with the presentation and left an hour later showing relief on their faces. I am sure they were proud of my department! :) By after 4pm, the session ended and all officers were sending gratitute to the presenters. Personally, I learnt a lot from today's presentations too. They all have given me inspiration to be more creative in the area I am doing at this time.

I dropped by the No3 Chief's office and had a bit of chit-chat about the sharing session that we just had. I took the opportunity briefing him what my department has been doing so far. It was obvious that he was impressed with what our department is capable of doing and told me that from where he had come from, he never heard (or had) such numerous projects our department is engaging on. That's a bonus remark for me and the officers working under me. KamVang gitu lho!! :p

At after 5pm, I met Shahrul. It's a monthly routine that he's helping me with the bills and stuff. I was doing a lot of calculations today ~ I have to make sure I have enough balance for my Hong Kong trip this coming June. I am broke this month people! :(

We had dinner at Big Papa's. I had Lemon Chicken with rice while Shahrul had Honey Grilled Chicken with rice (which I chewed half! :p). We both had Ice Milo too. I reached home at after 8pm, watched Super Soulmate Show on Indosiar (Indonesian Channel) with my mum, had a bit of talking with her in between commercial breaks then off to my room by 9pm. What am I going to do next? Hmmm ... Maybe doing some more work before off to bed. I am tired though but I think I should stay up for a while since I still feel full after the big fat meals just now :S

I think I have gained weight again :( I haven't done my jogging routine for two weeks now. My neuro therapist said it's not a good idea to do so while I am still undergoing the session. Really guys, I miss jogging! :( I remember having the stamina after an hour of jogging everyday ...

PS: HAPPY BIRTHDAY YANTI :) LOVE YA CUZZIE!!! ;)
