Time F.L.I.E.S

Last Saturday, i bought the pass for Tribeca Film Festival in Doha and one of the screening reads..

"There are paths we take that lead to unexpected destinations, and there are paths that begin in places we never knew we were, and end in places we don't see coming."

This relate to Kak Anom's visit last weekend. Impromptu planning brought her to Doha. hihi. Kak anom dh nk abis contract kt Dubai & she is going back home for good. Sbb tuh die dtg doha for a get together weekend. Kebetulan Sheryll pn dtg dr Bahrain saje2 nk visit Zila. Weekend lepas, rumah kami ade tetamu2 dr KL (parents Zila) dr Dubai & Bahrain. Mmg sibuk seperti tourist guide. Parents zila arrived 10hb smpai next weekend. Org kate tetamu tu bwk rezeki. Aminnnn. We had simple picnic by the Corniche ptg tuh. Nk bg meriah, invite skali Rizal, Fairul & Rafi. Dh lewat pn picnic nyer.
Sorryla..gambar blur. photographer die tgh mengunyah keropok..
Lps picnic, ktrng split. Me & Kak Anom. Zila with Sheryll and her parents. Aku bwk Kak Anom g Souk Waqif for souvenir hunting. Then ke Villagio. Tujuan ke Villagio nk beli mug Doha kt Starbucks then surveylah luxury wing kt Villagio tuh. Lepak2 starbucks smbil minum2 & borak2. Byk betul citer ktrng. Basically, reminisce balik 2 years back. Mase ktrng sibuk2 apply nk keja kt Middle East. Xsangka. after 2 years, ktrng jumpe blk & bile ingat2. kind of amaze how fate bring us to where we are now.
On Saturday, ktrng ade jemputan bfast kt umah Kak Rozi (a.k.a Kak Koji). Lps breakfast bwk kak anom g Museum. Pas pusing2 museum ktrng ke Souk Al-Asiry. tp tutup. Tahan teksi & bwk kak anom pusing2 the Pearl & City Center. Makan tgh ari kt Turkish Central & back to Asiry Souk. Kak Anom beli Abaya. Something from Doha katanya. Went back and straight to airport. hmm..Kak Anom..i know u are reading this. hopefully akak seronok kt sini...i know despite Doha yg agak bosan ni. kak anom terhiburkan dgn layanan kami??haih.
Kak Anom adalah org yg pass kt aku recruitment ad from The Star 2 years ago. We secretly had the same dream to work abroad and gain as much experience & money as possible. Mase tuh xnk kecoh2 sbb takut org kutuk. Mase dpt interview pn Kak Anom sorang je yg tau & mase dpt tau aku secured the offer, she was among the first to know after my family. We were quite close at that time. 2 thn lepas mase2 ni, ktrng tgh sibuk membeli brg2 nk ke Middle East. Smpaikan ponteng kja shari sbb nk g sale kt Isetan smata-mata nk beli luggage bag. Kul 9 pg dh trpacak kt ISetan. Ape yg aku kagum ngan Kak anom ni..after 2 years.. 2 years of being abroad. 2 years jd expat. 2 years berjauhan dr family untuk mencari rezeki. die xpenah deviate from her original plan. After 2 years all her targets are fulfilled. Perabih hutang. Dpt brjalan to almost all Middle East countries & dpt merasa beli brg2 yg xpnah imagine mampu utk beli. When i ask her..."Kak Anom..what's ur next plan??" her answer.. "balik Malaysia. Rehat sekejap. Bwk anak2 jalan & spend time with them. Then smbung blk crk keja." simple.. To Kak Anom - Have a safe trip home. Have fun & take care. Keep in touch!~
