Aiya Sori lew

Its been so so long, a new year has started (almost half of the year already) the biggest news is well, many new additions to the family..Ami Jon is a new dad, Shahrul is a dad and Ami Mat is also a new dad..Rizal (yup my very own cousin) is married..(when baby coming is the million dollar question) He broke the tradition by having an online wedding album, (hey what can I say? We are an Pro- IT Family) you can check it out www.syedjohanrizalthewedding.com The 7 day event was not only the highlight for the family but also the highlight and talk of the town. The whole Alor Setar was a buzzed and I have to say that Rizal’s wedding turned out to be a life changing experience for me&the family…(more on that later)

Sadness also enveloped the family with the passing of Tok Su (arghhhhh pulut kacau nak cari mana lew?) and Tok Ami Mat (Our guardian of Tok Lid’s house…is not the same now days) God loves them more and while they are with His Almighty, we are still here to struggle on this earth. Now days when I go to Tok Lid’s house, there are times I still catch myself expecting to see or hear Tok Ami Mat around the corner. The house itself brings back so many memories, it is where I grew up..(climbing the coca-cola truck in the evenings for a few bottles of coke-much to Tok Ami Mat’s chargin and Abang Pit horror) where night after night, Tok Lid doing his walk around the area while overseeing us doing our homework( Ami Noi& Ami Chick can be quite strict in those days) News of the house might be torn down to help and finance the Yayasan Shahabudin puts a damper in my heart. Where would Kierra and Iddraqi hold their wedding or hang out, For years the house has been the anchor for the family and even now it holds strong as the meeting point for all. Many (Cousins) are against the plan and doing what we can to come up with an alternative plan to maintain the house. Anyhow, that is a debate for another day…

Life changed for us as I secured a job with Cinta Sayang Resort as their event manager. Under the resort is also the The Carnivall Water Park. Well, we have moved to Sungai Petani and slowly building our life there. Work is really hard, as competition is tough in the company. Though I head my own department but with many overlapping and cross tasking, there are a pile of paperwork to do. With Visit Kedah year and The Royal Jubilee Celebration, I have my work cut out for me. It’s a bit sad that our beloved state of Kedah is missing out on many high profile events (yes yes I am working on this matter) so for the moment its promote and event creation. You will see some improvements and hopefully we would be able to conduct a successful campaign. As long as the Federal Government holds..(REFORMASI!!!!) well, sorry for the long absent from the blog..but hey I’ back and let us start again… till laters…take care.
