Dari DIA kita datang, padaNya kita kembali.. The death of the Iranian twins came as a blow to the Iranians community here and back home, also to those who had been following the updates of the operation to separate them. The news came shortly after the press conference announcing the success of the operation. But shortly after that, Ladan passed away followed by Laleh 2 hours later. Seeing their joyful faces hours before the operations griped people's heart. May their souls rest in peace.

A colleague of mine passed away too earlier this morning after being hospitalised for heart attack last week. He passed away at 3 am this morning leaving behind his wife and daughter who will be taking her 'A' Levels later this year. Even though, I did not knew him personally and never talked to him before I'm always aware of his presence due to his massive figure. He's was a very fat man, always dozing off during talks and meetings. May his soul too rest in peace.

All these gripping news today jolted me a little. How precious life is. Ajal tak kira masa. Bila-bila sahaja kita boleh di jemputNya.Tapi apa persediaan kita? Kalau di fikir-fikirkan memang banyak lagi yang kita nak capai semasa hayat kita ni. Tapi berkesempatan ke? Dan kadang-kadang dalam mencapai keinginan duniawi, akhirat kita tergadai. Akhirnya, tiada apa yang di bawa pulang saat maut menjemput kita. And yes, it scares me..alot.

Anyway, life goes on. (I just hate this liner!) Things got to be done. Work got to be completed:

1. Prepare for tomorrow NFS@Gov Training Session

2. Get copies of SYD's Pac@Gov weekly claim reimbursement

3. Complete and submit the Business Continuity Plan (BCP) by this Friday

4. Get feedback for BCP training schedule
   

ermm..anything else? Think that's about it. Anyway, remember the feeling I had yesterday evening? Well, it sort of stay, marred only by waking up a teeny late (but still reaching the office early..err, not so early but earlier then 9am when my office hours begin at 8.30 am). But the rest of the day went fine.

Yihaa! Tomorrow is midweek already..*S*

Note: Seems to have much more things to talk about but now? ermm..gone, so that is then!
