A visit to Mauritius (Part 1)
So now that I have quite a lot of free time being at home after the Movement Control Order was implemented by the Malaysia Government, I have extra time to reflect on my time in Mauritius! Yes, I went to Mauritius recently in January 2020 and it was an amazing experience.
I remember that I did not have a proper sleep the night before I flew to Mauritius mainly because of my usual last minute packing but also because I was very excited to go there. It's also has been a while since Dr. Kit left...

Stay Home, Stay Safe!
It has been 14 days since the Malaysia Government decided to implement the Movement Control Order starting 18 March 2020 to fight the pandemic of Covid-19. Covid-19 has impacted the whole world and is making everyone worry.
I am on my own in my apartment doing my part as a responsible citizen. It was my final week working at the Ministry of Education and I should have started working at my new department the week after, but I am here at home! I think its is very important to follow the...

Bye Procurement Department, Ministry of Education; Hello Public Service Department
Today, on 9 March 2020 I went to my new office to officially report my duty there: Public Service Department.

Even when I was dealing with procurement, it felt safe and secure because was still related to schools, students and teachers.
Now, that I have been transferred to the Public Service Department, I will be able to explore new...

July jingled joyfully
August always arrived
September sang serenely
October observed obviously
November never numbed
December drove dreams

Visiting SK Kampung Kenang before 2019 ends
On 13 December 2019, I had the opportunity to visit SK Kampung Kenang - the first school I was posted to as a teacher. I was a bit nervous to go there as I was not sure what to see and who to meet as my visit was not planned in advance. I had the chance because I was in Ipoh managing a meeting that somehow finished earlier than expected.
Driving from Ipoh to Kampung Kenang brought back memories from 2010. The scenery was still the same as I remembered. However, when I arrived at the bridge in...

and November is almost ended
Year 2019 is coming to an end soon. How do you feel so far? Are there any changes that have happened to your life? Are there any regrets that you feel? Are there any good news items to celebrate with me?
I have managed two procurement cycles with my team. I have learnt many valuable lessons at a personal level, team level and organisational level. My focus of this writing is only on my personal level of learning and of experiencing the management of procurement for two cycles.I learn that...

Congratulations!
A few weeks ago I had the chance to go and celebrate my younger sister’s convocation day at University Sains Malaysia, Pulau Pinang. I drove from Kelana Jaya to Penang in the middle of the night and met my family in Pulau Pinang.
