No more love on the run.

Salam, good day. I'm gonna miss the republic really really bad! You name it, the foods, the atmosphere, shopping complexes, they are steps further than us *I'm sure with what I said* Many thanks to my charming friends as our host there who has been working very hard to make the entire programme a wonderful success. From my observation, we should put more effort to be among the powerhouse radio station in this region just like they did. I would say Warna Mediacorp was among the best that we should have learn from, their work ethique was outstanding:)

Hi Burger King, how I longed to you, but we are not meant to be...gluppp!

A place to go at the republic

I didn't get the place, but many chinese.

Trishaw not-uncle

Never leave the republic without this

Trishaw not-auntie...Better ask first, it cost you few bucks for one trip.

Plaza Singapura

Sit down again...the knee ain't strong. Need to get back stronger, can't wait for a run. I was struggling with my knee while at the republic. I never hit by such a problem before, but it came on a very wrong time now. I came late for dinner, breakfast and can't even perform solat comfortably. However until blogging time, Alhamdulillah its getting better now.

You are not baby...*lol*

Iman & Kak Dee

Hi boss, we appreciate that.

Who has got the nice teeth? *lol*

Done but waiting.

Salam, good day. Day 3 at the republic was another very long day but enjoyable. I'm glad we've made our job run smoothly, coordination meeting as well as the programme exchange. Here at the republic, be it in the civil department or private sector they has successfully implemented professionalisms to each of their servants. This has made our job comes easy peasy baby! I have been working and dealing with my counterpart there for years now, mainly with their state's television sports news. Many of them are considered as workaholic and these people has lifted the image of their agencies to the highest level. I was thinking if this culture would be implemented in our place, I'm sure we will see positive changes with in the servants mindset. Gonna leave the republic later this evening and I would say this was my most productive and memorable working visit ever:)

Morning run at Orchard Road *6km return*
Actually the knee is aching *very painful*

Orchard Road seems very very busy. This is due to the roadwork, to raise
the road surface in the aftermath of the recent flooding.

Coincidently this morning, they were a Chinese New Year celebration at Mediacorp Radio office and the highlight of the event was a lion dance perfomances. We took an opportunity to take a picture with an un-manned lion.

Best dressed staff *forgot her name*

This is one funny guy, my new friend Mr.Andy.

This ain't fire engine *lol*. This is actually a mobile studio.

The man inside the studio is William Xavier aka Mr.X *we are not allowed to go inside and he is not allowed to go out either* I supposed he must be a very popular DJ at the republic and he is doing an afternoon radio show. I'm sure you would love him once you meet him in person as being shown by my colleague there.

I've made Sarinah looks even lower, isn't it Rinah?
She should sit on the pick-up as well *lol*

During the farewell dinner

I'm gonna miss this beautiful moment *sob*

I never missed out this 'mini kelapa' at Syed Alwi Road, Hasrin is tagged along.

Energy and focus.

Salam, good day. Day two in Singapore was a long one but memorable. My day was supposed to start with a morning run at Orchard Road but coincidently my aunty was there too, so I cancelled my run, instead I'm having breakfast with her and friends. As usual at Royal Plaza which housed a lot of Bruneian in Singapore, we've met a long-not-meet friends as well as the new one. We do have a visit as well and the best thing was after more than one hard year, I've chocked-in Nasi Lemak Adams Road. Haha, thanks to our friends here who have fulfilled my un-official wish:)

This picture is taken by my auntie Aminah Yassin. *thanks ibu and my appologise you are not in picture* (L-R): Hambali Tengah, PI Salmah, Hasrin Damit, the legendary Kartinah Dahari, Sarinah Yahaya and myself.

At the vintage look but modern Asian Civilisation Museum

The pointer was actually a ray of light

Pejeng-style Bronze Drum.

This part showcases a Malay World.
I'm playing with this interactive video.

Central Africa is dominated by the Congo River which, together with its numerous tributaries, drains a vast area of diverse environments, ranging from rainforests to savannahs. For your information, the region is home to the Bantu-speaking peoples. Have you ever heard that?

How does Congonese looks?

'Picture Me a Picasso' and Shaikh, you failed!

My turn to stamp on...

...and me either! haha

This ain't iPad

With Zaza Majid & AB Shaikh at ACM or Old Parliament

Pay a visit to the Traffic Watch Center. The two ladies is monitoring the traffic with 500 camera under their control which covers the traffic all over Singapore. They can even zoom you in while walking on the street.

At last, the nasi lemak has come to me!

Me and Sarinah represents RTB while TG and Suriani represents Mediacorp.

May Allah bless.

Salam, good day. Its good to be back to Singapore after months of absents. Ooo...It keeps changing here, new buildings as well as new shops is mushrooming. I bring along a very big task together with me on this visit which I feel I should do more to make them a very successful one. One job done this afternoon and two to go. Once this job completed, I have a lot more job waiting at home and in the office. I starts to feel the tension now but thanks to 'Zikrullah' which does help to overcome difficulties:)

Alright, day 1 in Singapore was pants-tightening! Breakfast prior to departure, in-flight meal, 'biryani' lunch, oriental hi-tea and malay-styled dinner. Where to keep, I dont know but we can't stop eating.
