What a Hectic Weekend!!!

Thank Goodness its Monday! hahaha... I didnt expect myself to say that, but I am glad the weekend is over and it is Monday, the start of new week, a fresh beginning. Why? Well.... Last weekend was very very hectic.

I was hardly at home last weekend. Been busy with discussions, classes and burning the midnight oil to complete my group assignment & presentation. Then I had 3 consecutive classes starting from Saturday afternoon, followed by the 2nd class on Sunday morning and the 3rd class at 2pm. By 6.45pm Sunday, the longest series of weekend classes I ever had was all over. Thank God!! And my endless gratitude to my dearest wife for understanding.... My kids did not get the attention of their father for the past 2 days. :-( Fortunately for them, their atuk & nenek's house is just next-door, who were more than happy to entertain their antics.

Luckily, I was not involved in the convocation this year. Phew!! Otherwise, I would have had a nervous breakdown managing between the three things. My office mates & my staff have been busy working on the preparations for the last couple of months. I am sure this year would be fine if not better considering that they used the same big venue and the same set of committee members.

And then there was the Arsenal vs Man U game last night... The Grand Slam Weekend they call is as there was another big game involving Chelsea vs Liverpool which ended in the Blues winning by 1-0, thanks to a sublime strike from Drogba (that guy looks as strong as a Mongolian ox!). I was relieved that Arsenal finally won their first League game. This season has seen the worst of starts for the Gunners. But they proved that they still have it in them, even without certain key players. I hope they continue playing like this and with more conviction in their style of play.

What an eventful week and weekend it has been!! And to to top it off, I was called for an interview last week, the first since I actively started floating my shares in the job market. It was indeed a pleasant surprise as I had not expected such a quick call-up by this corporation which is known to have a lengthy recruitment process. Well, it doesn't matter. Finally, my prayers are answered. I need to start doing my preparations as it has been 2 years since I last went for an interview. I hope to do well in the interviews. My family will depend on it. I hope this will be the turning point of my career. InsyaAllah....
