Makin lama kat sini..... makin kenal ramai orang

hmmmm.. quite interesting sebab the longer I stay here, the more people I know or remember from past dealings..

Kalau ikut Malaysian (tapi ramai gak le yang tengah balik Malaysia sebab Raya)...
1) Iskandar.... used to be Juraidi's housemate, and geng2 main bola dengan Fadel....
- apparently dia & wife (ada anak bujang sorang - 5 bulan) tengah further studies kat Rotterdam.
- kalau sempat, lepas dia balik dari Malaysia nanti, nak jugak jumpa wife dia.

2) Azlan Zainal Abidin... dulu satu opis kat Cyberjaya....
- sekarang ni dia Biz Process Analyst for e-banking kat Rijswijk
- tapi sampai hujung tahun je

3) Deng (and Ben) - dulu Process Architects for PM & CPL respectively
- even had lunch with Deng yesterday. He hasnt changed THAT much
- Ben pun may want to come and have lunch some time later.
- They are now based in Rijswijk

4) Retnowati (Ejay) - rupanya dulu pernah diving together.
- she's based in Gas & Power (GP) here in the Hague...
- still single (and looking!! hee hee hee)

5) Yasmin (and her hubby Farid Ismail)
- I remember her from somewhere tapi rupanya Farid tu kenal Fadel (and me!) masa kat EON in 1999.
- jumpa lah jugak masa Raya kat ebmassy hari tu

6) Hari ni jumpa Nik Nazifah - sister to my neighbour, Nik Najihah...
- hari tu memang dia ada cakap, tapi baru hari ni jumpa

Not to mention some other Shell people that I've contacted before I came here... Ansari, Rashidah, Nina.. etc
And most of these people, jumpa kat Silence Room (tempat solat)....

Cuma tu lah... since Saturday, Meen was not feeling too good. Tapi nasib baik ada bawak paracetamol & ubat batuk.... kalau tidak... Ya Allah punya lah susah nak jumpa doktor kat sini... "your children have to be registered with the GP, and before you can register them, YOU have to be registered.... and to do that, we need some sort of letter from the company, blah blah blah...."... by the time dapat jumpa doktor, memang dah tak sakit lah jawabnya.

As a matter of fact, kat sini, diorang tak de bagi ubat pun... sebab the doctors will let the children "heal themselves"... antibiotics seme memang tak de... and only if the children are not well after 5 days, then only they will do something!!! hmmm... somehow it's so easy in KL... merata-rata ada klinik, 24 jam lagi! But people here are used to that concept so the parents becomes own doctors to the kids....

Anyway, Meen dah beransur baik tapi Haikal pulak baru nak develop fever & cough... tapi yang best nya, semalam ada jumpa Vicks Vaporub!!! kat Kruidvart (pronounced as Kruadvart)... so malam tadi dok tenyeh lah kat Haikal (and Meen too)... Rasanya, as usual, it helps clear the lungs.... tapi Haikal, tengah tidur pun, boleh batuk2 and muntah (muntah baring tu!)!! Which is good also sebab apparently macam all the phlegms pun keluar sama... and in the morning, he's not as whiny as the last 2 days......

That's pretty much the updates for today.... nantilah kalau sempat, I'll take photos with the people I know.. at least can put faces to names........
