Many Thanks To My Colleagues!

I agree with my ex-colleague.. she mentioned that working days passed extremely fast as her retirement drew nearer and nearer... that was one year ago. True enough, her statement is very true. My working days indeed passed by very fast too... For the past couple of weeks, I feel that time was not enough. So much to do and so little time! No such thing as boring in the office since 2015...

Many have asked me what I am going to do when I retire.... Frankly, I never thought of what I am going to do... no specific plans... no business to get involved in... practically nothing on my mind... I guess I am one of those "Come What May" type... 

Take it easy for the first couple of months... then when I settle down, then I will write how I feel to be a non-worker... at the moment, I feel I still have a busy life ahead... hahaha...

After packing all my stuff this afternoon, I felt the need to take some pictures with some of my colleagues... just in case when I grow old and cannot remember much, this post will come in very "handy!"
My colleague of many years... 
I remember the first day I reported to this department 11 years ago, she was the first one to approach me and made me feel "right at home."  Her friendliness I shall never forget...
Thank you for being such a good friend mate to me, Ila!
Hope you will achieve your goals soon....
All the Best to you!!
Another Sweetie... Fa... E... 
My "neighbour" and partner-in-crime...
hahahahaa..
Just kidding...
Thank you for your cooperation!
We learn from each other... right!!
Nurul... let's continue to watsap each other...
No matter where and when... OK! 
Rina, Thank you for your support...
Coming to my house... 
I will remember that...
Sweet Faridah... ever photogenic!
Thank you for your "shopping tips"
You taught me to save lots...
Safe Delivery to you!!
Lastly and not least...
My Take-Over-Job Man...
Manly and Macho Shafiq!
Here is my "handing over" joblist...
Thank you for being so patient with me...
You are the Chosen One!
Wish You All The Best!!
I am going to Miss You All!!

    11 years in there, and surely there will be a lot of people and things to miss.. well well well, probably you may not feel it right now since you are still busy "packing and handing over things".. but when you really retired few days later and do not need to work, hmmm.. that will be the best time to go to http://sk0617.blogspot.com and kill your time by spamming comments!! remember, the CD and medal are calling you!!!

    MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! :D

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

The Good, The Bad But Not Ugly

MISSING AND NOW BACK IN ACTION...  I checked back my last post and it was 8 March last month and today is 19 April, less than two months only.  So what has been happening in my life?  Lots and lots... good news, bad news, sad news... all concerning health and I guess this is our life cycle as we live day by day.   My health is also not that "fantastic" during the past few months, but mine is a small rock compared to giant boulder which my best buddy is undergoing... I guess some of you know what is happening to her from her blog posts.  I was totally devastated when this happened to her, my tears couldn't help falling and my heart goes out to her.  I am ashamed to say that instead of me giving the comfort that she needs, I am the one that have been receiving her strength in times like this.  She might be crushed physically but she is not broken in her spiritual mind and soul.  One word... "Unbreakable!"  She is a shining example..... "What can death do to m

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!
