Happy International Women's Day

...something like that lah. I must be getting really old when most times I am not  aware of the many days that have been named after something or somebody.For instance,this morning when I opened the entrance door of Maybank,Pelita,I was greeted by the bank staff with a stalk of red rose & greetings that went like this:"Happy International Women's Day." to me & my two other friends.We were blurred/blurr for a few minutes until they told us what day it was today.My friends & I were the first three female clients to enter the bank,thus the special treatment. It is not often or rather one hardly get such warm welcome from banks unless they want you to apply for ASB loans or Credit cards.
Anyway,thank you to Maybank,Pelita for the stalk of red rose & the sweets. Yeah! They offered sweets to the men as well. Keep up the smile,the hospitality & so forth......

About  more than two weeks ago,Mr. Andrew Bangkam called me on the phone inviting us to his daughter's wedding. Without much hesitation,we accepted his invitation. It would be a good opportunity to meet relatives ,also to do some house cleaning for the apartment as well & the airfares were  affordable.
As usual last Friday I took the 8.40am flight. The flight was full;not by those invited to the wedding but for the BN Convention. Anyway,we made the right decision in accepting the invitation because Mr. & Mrs. Andrew Bangkam were indeed very happy to see us & the rest who turned up for the church marriage ceremony & wedding reception. Scores of relatives filled the church,the Parish Hall & Riverside Majestic Hotel.

We really enjoyed the wedding dinner.Very well organised. Good food & free flowing drinks; Good music provided by Sound Express. Very good speech by  Tuai Rumah Richard Mullok of Matop,Paku who welcomed the groom.  A very beautiful,short speech (without going very much into details) by a good friend of the newly wed on how the couple met & I couldn't help smiling to myself when this friend ended his speech directing this to the bridegroom in jest by saying "amat meh munyi ko lagu Ricky L, ti aku nyadi cikgu baru sida iya setuju.". Hehehe!!

Cikgu or any other profession,'kalau hati sudah suka,semua setuju."
