3d off + 3d work + 3d off, 2d1n ipoh trip with coworkers

It's the start of a new week. Yes, I'm blogging at work because despite having like 3 days work last week, this girl is never capable to not be busy (quite). I had 2 work shifts until night, then 1 normal shift which the day after was the commencement (lol, big word) of ipoh trip. I. I. Enjoyed that trip. And I think pretty much everyone enjoyed it too. Much much better than going with just A. What make it work I think is because we are like follow with the flow, and everyone pretty much agrees with it. The group dynamics was great, and everyone is aware to counter own character, like knowing take long time to get ready, so preparing in advance. Also, going with friends of similar budget (important tip). Except for the rush to the train back here, everything was good. One to note, being able to just leisure down for a day, away from routine commitment, to spend money and time how you wish, even for a relatively short 2 days 1 night, BIG BLESSING. Alhamdulillah. 

Yesterday, also another good day. I got some rest in (much needed), going to kenduri late but after you prayed zohr, and no traffic jam is french kiss. So so nice. And able to talk and connect with An and not just Al, it's a nice talk.
