22 years in service | 8 years remaining

today 2nd may, 22 years ago, I decided to join IIUM and Insya Allah, it is and will be my lifetime career - changing my career path from UOB (United Overseas Bank) as bank officer, to be an academician. I was with UOB for 3 and half years before I joined UIA, so UOB tu tempat pertama lah MZ keje secara rasmi (MZ pernah jugak keje kat McD kompleks PKNS shah alam selama sebulan ie time cuti matriks sblm masuk main campus (UIA gombak). 

so When I signed letter of offer to join UIA, I opted for 58 years retirement age (masa tu memang tu jer option yg ada), so now berbaki 8 tahun jer lagi utk serve UIA insya Allah.

MZ tak de snap gambar fresh/latest la utk 2nd may sbb hari ni kan cuti, even nak snap masa 30 april pun tak sempat sbb kalut dgn kelas dan tak de photoG jugak (segan nak suruh my ex-PA tlg snap pic)..so ni gambar masa 28 april 2026 (4 hari sblm 2nd may)..ni gambar kat my office (Head of Research Office) kat tingkat 2..will be in this office until June next year, lps tu akan move in balik ke opis MZ yg biasa (tingkat 4).

esok pagi2, MZ akan fly for my worktrip Insya Allah...dah siap semua packing2 luggage ni..

happy weekend uolls

Birthday photoshoot

sambung entry edisi birthday..

photoshoot ni kat bamboo hills...for future throwbacks...posing2 ni on 26/4/26 hari ahad, ie 2 hari sblm my actual birthday.

one with my other half...will be travelling together this coming sunday insya Allah

MZ merasmikan pakai baju qiszar ni..kaler hot pink/fuchsia..beli masa raya ari tu, tapi tak pakai time raya lah, simpan nak rasmi pakai for bday.

tempat ni nama bamboo hills so memang byklah bamboo yg ditanam...masa MZ posing2 ni..ada jugak org lain yg posing2 (pakai baju convo)..so take turn lah utk posing2 kat certain spots tu

set baju qiszar ni memang comes with shawl warna light pink..actually design reben lah baju ni kat bahagian atas, tapi tak nampak sbb dah ter-covered dgn tudung--if model, dia pakai tudung yg lilit leher tu so akan nampaj reben/bowtie nya...labuci2 kat baju ni pun semua design reben/bowtie

masa ni dh tenghari so mencabar jugak nak bagi lighting on point

zharfan lah jd photoG ni...so tak delah gmbr MZ posing2 dgn zharfan..handbag tu brand coach (nama designnya tabby)..kecik jer so memang MZ pakai utk posing2 ajer

this one guna tripod...one happy bday mommy with her 4 heroes! boys semua pakai baju tema maroon (nak bg nampak lebih kurang dgn pinky2)

ok MZ tepek sini baju qiszar yg MZ pakai ni...ni cara model pakai nak bagi nampak design riben2 tu...

no model free hair

ni kena pakai tudung gaya gini (MZ tak leh nak pakai gini sbb tak UIA compliant/ tak shariah compliant)..anyway lawa kan design riben tu

ada lagi final entry edisi bday... ie my bday presents!

anyway, hari ni adalah hari terakhir bln april...time flies sgt!
