QA: Weekend...

It was a tiring weekend. My plan was to start on my assignments. I have been delaying the assignment for many moons now :-)

On Thursday, after work, I just stayed at home. Cleaned my kitchen. Hopefully cockroaches will not return. Then, around 10pm, friends started coming... it has been a routing to have a karaoke session on theweekend at my place. One thing special for the night was that we have new people joining us. Couples of cabin crew... at least we have real female voices :-) Also, it was a record for me. Not sleeping for nearly 24 hours. I woke up at 6am on Thursday and kept on going until 5:30am Friday.

Don't think it is something to be proud of, but at least, I prayed Subuh within the time :-) And how I wish there is a stall selling nasi lemak or at least mamak restaurant here. At around 4am, five of us - myself, Zal, NN, ZI and DK went for an earlybreakfast at a restaurant near the airport. For the first time ever I witnessed sun-rise in D0ha.. at 4:54am. Beautiful. I just love the weather in the morning.

Woke up 11:30am, just in time for Friday prayer. Thanks to Zal who woke me up. In the evening, Zal and myself were invited for a dinner at one of Malaysian family house, KK and family have been here for 3.5 years. It was a beautiful house or I would say a villa. 6+1 rooms and furnished with wooden furniture from Ind0nesia. Met few other Malaysian familys there too. Plenty of food, including Mrs KK specialty, bubur jagung.










After the dinner, went to Coffee Beanery to meet our Pin0y friend. He just got back from his hometown, Cebu and a vacation in Malaysia. It is nice of him to buy me a tee from Cebu. Thanks Jyerex.



Saturday morning, I have promised AAH to go apartment hunting. Picked him up at his temporary company housing. We started with my area and moved on to Bin Omran, Sadd and Mansoura. The cheapest we found for a 2-bedroom apartment is QAR7500 per month while the 3-bedroom fetches up to QAR10, 500 per month. He has yet to decide and hopefully he will find more choices to choose from.

Also, I heard a bad news from our dearest friend, KM. Two of his Suzuki Swift tyres have gone missing. Stolen right in front of his apartment. Poor him. Hopefully he managed to do the police report and get insurance claim (hmm... ada ke insurance tayar kereta?)

In the evening, I went to my boss villa for a dinner. Once a while, the boss organized "makan-makan" at his villa. A very nice villa indeed. The dinner was a Morroccan dish ordered from one of the most expensive Morroccan restaurants. A lamb stuffed with saffron rice and surrounded with cous-cous. The lamb alone costs QAR1500.

Then I called my parents. They are going back to my hometown on Sunday afternoon. My mum told me there is a saman for me. Committed on 25 June, 2007 at KM 6.2 Kuala Lumpur. That is what according to the letter. That's very helpful. KM6.2 can be anywhere in Kuala Lumpur.

Ended my day by having juices at Mandarin with Zal and NN.

That's wrapped up my weekend. Another week tomorrow...
