Na nana nana 'Ganu Kite!

For the next three days I have to attend a technical course on Instrument Installation and Maintenance in Kuala Terengganu. Everytime I tell my Principal Engineer I still have this course (and two more) to attend before I can be considered for a promotion, I do it with a wry smile. He thinks these courses are a joke, I tell him I don't know what three days can teach me that three years at site can't. But it's still compulsory for me to go, and I'm not complaining of the break it's given me off my current project.

I'm typing this from the KLIA Departure Hall, which I found out from Hubby has free wireless internet. My flight isn't till 4.30 pm, so I have a good 15-20 minutes before I have to make dash for it. I'd already checked in at KL CAT, so when I got here at 3.00 pm all I had to do was have lunch at McDonald's. A Filet-O-Fish, Mcnuggets and milkshake set me back RM17.20! Scandalous!!

I had planned to leave the office earlier, but those demmed CTR's held me back. That's the problem with doing a good job as an underling in the first place - when something needs changing or fixing, your superiors just refuse to do it themselves! And it's not so difficult to do. A Cost-Time-Resource sheet isn't exactly Rocket Science.

Anyway, there's a bloke sitting across from me who looks suspiciously like Zahid from AF2 (remember him? His moment of glory may have been shortlived, swallowed by the force that's Tsumawi). I can't be too sure cos he's got his sunnies on (only celebrities trying to evade the public wear sunnies in shady spots like the KLIA Post office). There's another bloke with him (no sunnies this one) and they're both wearing these matching white sneakers with cartoon graffiti all over. I was so tempted to go over and ask for his autograph so I can give it to one of the girls back at the office who is a self-confessed Zahid fan, but I guess I'll respect his attempt at privacy and pretend not to notice the bright loud t-shirt. Oh, he's just walked off, so that's it then.

I'm not quite sure how I'm going to get to the training site from my hotel tomorrow. The lst time I attended a course there was like 5 years ago, and then they provided a bus that actually picked us up from the hotel. I'd have to call up the course coordinator to ask him. I'd need the site address too if I have to make my own travel arrangements.

I'm really sleepy right now. My brain is not quite functioning. Zahid's back (?)

This post is going to read like rubbish.

Nana,
Restaurang? Cool! Maybe the Terengganu lingo was influenced by a Swedish sailor stuck among the British back then!
