Blabbing again..

Hey Hey.. I think I'm the only one visiting and actually writing something at this blog. Meng & Enol have been busy with their jobs. Gem shouldn't be busy.. but maybe she's trying to finish up another chapter of Harry Potter hehe.
This week has been a very exiting week for me. On Monday, Cessna IE Manager was here. He's a great guy, very down to earth and easy to work with. I was a little nervous at first, thou I've met him few times before. We had few meetings this week. We went over ramping up plan, capacity planning, manpower, bottleneck, scheduling etc. The plan is to make as many planes as possible without killing ourselves. Heh..I'm not sure that's the best way to put it. They wanted to make sure that the company can crawl before they can let us run.
Oh did I tell you that the company's name has changed too..it's Cessna Aircraft Company- Bend. I likey it!
I was taking shower last night and started to think that I need to make a change. I just realized that not many people in my extended family is doing well. For instance, I can hardly find a college degreed relative, not even a cousin. Then I'm trying to think who has excelled in any big exams; pmr, spm..maybe a few. And who has become doctors, engineers, accountants, lawyers or any other professions...maybe one or two. This is sad. So...crazy thought..I'm thinking about creating an annual fund. Maybe RM 1,000 per year for any of my relative yg excel in school. Hopefully this will help family yg susah for bying books, tuition fees, and it might boost up their spirit ti study too. They will need to fill in forms, report their academic progress and also outdoor activities etc. I'll pick the best. What do you guys think?

Better Together

Yesterday was the Cessna flag raising ceremony. Around 8 AM, we gathered around the company's flag pole. They brought down Columbia flag and naikan flag Cessna. It wasn't fun to watch, but I guess it was ok thou it was a big lost for Malaysia. Later that evening, we had another meeting and we got these.

Today, I enrolled in Cessna benefit program. I won't get free insurance anymore. Hundreds will be deducted from my paystubs from now on. Makin sikit la gaji ku....hadus. Anyhoo..the benefit is great. The best part is it covers orthodontist service, mmg diidamkan selama ni tapi tak mampu. Now I can have braces and fix my ugly tooth. I really really need braces.
Today, I got my last paycheck from Columbia... and a termination letter too. I was a little shocked, didn't expect that. So, I looked around to make sure that everybody else received the same letter too. Phewww..sume org pun dapat.
It's official. I just got terminated by Columbia and hired by Cessna. How long can I stick around?

Turkey Day Pics

Hye Hye I totally forgot that I took some pictures of Thanksgiving dinner. We had the dinner a week earlier before the T day because we were planning on going to SF on the T day week. But we didn't :(
I cooked a complete Thanksgiving meal, (minus turkey). Instead of turkey, I made roasted chicken. We couldn't find any halal turkey here. I made some pasta too, my first trial and it was really yummy. The rest of the dishes: potato salad, mesh potato, gravy, stuffing, mac & cheese.

Columbia to Cessna

The auction was held yesterday. And today, it's official. I'm no longer working for Columbia Aircraft anymore.. new name, new look; Cessna Aircraft.
I feel a little intimidated. Transaction from a 400-employees-company to a 15,000-employees-company makes me feel awkward and scared. The new owner will have a lot of expectations, or should I say impossible expectations. Huh...I need to start and fire up my brain.
We had a company lunch earlier today. The president of Cessna was here at our company giving his speech. His speech was very comforting, and very very business oriented. I must admit that he's one articulate man. For once, I have a very good feeling that the company is moving to the right direction.
For myself I still have some doubts that the new owner will retain me. I don't know...I just don't have the confidence. I think I have wasted my 2 years doing hardly anything. Zuhri keeps convincing me that without realizing it, I've gained experiences like many others.
OK OK positive thinking. Here's the start point to move forward..big company, big challenge, big $, vast experience waiting.

T-Day Trip

Finally it was the Thanksgiving week, I was so excited I couldn't sleep the night before. Been busy packing stuffs and cleaning here and there. Our flight departed at 8.20 am, but we went to the airport right after Subuh pray. Alhamdulillah we didn't have any problems along the way, just that the weather was so cold. It was snowing the day before, so no wonder..


My happy and sleepy face :D


Our plane: Midwest Airlines. We got a pretty good deal. $550 for 2 tickets.



The waiting area was almost vacant. Nobody wanted to be here on the Thanksgiving Day, except us!

We changed flight at Milwaukee, WI around noon, and finally arrived at Pittsburgh Airport at 2.50 pm. Ayah Amin, Luqman and Hamzah were there to pick us up, then we went straight to Indiana.

We didn't eat turkey until the next day for lunch (after black friday crazy shopping).




Happy faces..


And here was my plate. Yum yum yum...

It took 2 days to finish all the 20 lbs turkey. And the only thing remain was the wishbone. This time, it was Amin and Muhsin's turn to see who would get their wish.


Amin fought for his half wishbone.


And he fought again... and he finally got his wish!!! :)


On Saturday, we went to State College, just because it was 2 hours away from Indiana. We just did some more shopping over there, bought some Penn State merchandises, some clearance clothings and other stuffs. We also went to the Penn State Creamery to buy ice creams, but it was closed. No luck.


Me and Hana. I bought this dress for Hana, and Amin bought her the teddy bear (for her birthday present). Bye bye Indiana, see ya next year insya Allah!
