Adillah A Nordin, the Firm

Next Friday, 1st of August 2008, is the 6th Anniversary of Adillah A. Nordin, the legal Firm. Many congratulations to all of you at Adillah A. Nordin. You have worked really hard as a team to bring the Firm to a different level. The beginning was certainly not easy for you. In a profession which is highly regulated, legal firms, old and new, cannot exert their presence in the in the market like companies can. So there was no billboard advertising to announce the birth of Adillah A. Nordin!

I am extremely fortunate to be able to enjoy the growth of the Firm, as do other spouses. More often than not the Firm has been able to organize 'family trips' abroad, the last two being Beijing and Cambodia in 2006 and 2007 respectively. I must say that I have enjoyed the trips tremendously. The pictures below are constructed with Azim's help.


My memories of our trips are still vivid. The sense of unity and understanding that has developed over the years that the Firm and their spouses have traveled together is certainly unique, special and difficult to describe.

Adillah is still busy packing your 'goodies' just as I am completing this posting. I was told that my presence at your 6th Anniversary function tomorrow is somewhat compulsory so I feel honored to be invited. To Hamidah, Faridah, Eyta, Long Chek, Zurina, Farah, Faizah, Mas, Saad and Cherryl, many congratulations!

To Adillah A. Nordin, the person, may I say that I am extremely proud of your leadership and for what you have achieved in such a short time. You are truly 'The Special One'.

The agony of a daughter

Adillah and I have four kids. Adlina, 9, is our third child and the only girl in our family. Like her Mama she is a very competitive girl. Not to be outdone in cyberspace by her two elder brothers Adlina decided to create her own blog which she called HELLO KITTY AND STUFFZ. I’m proud to say that she did it mostly on her own with little help from her elder brothers. And she writes well too!

The subject of Adlina’s blog is cat, or anything about cats, which is her favourite animal. Adlina has been wanting to have cats at home but unfortunately we can’t have any because Mama is allergic to anything that is cat. It will be difficult and long to describe Adlina’s love for cats. But in one of her postings she has managed to articulate her passion for the animal and her agony of not being able to have one at home in a very special way so as not to upset Mama.

Adlina, to date, has managed to outdo her two elder brothers in the blogsphere. In fact, she has outdone all of us. The subject of her passion has brought many visitors from all over the world to her blog. She proudly showed us the statistics of her visitors this evening. So far none of us has been as successful as Adlina, not even her kiasu Mama!

Sorry Adlina we still can't have cats at home. Perhaps not even in your own house in the future because then Mama won’t be comfortable visiting you. But, being a good girl that you are, you have done well in keeping your cats only to the confines of your blog.

My dearest Adlina, let’s keep it that way for Mama’s sake!

Papa

Farewell to Intern No. 12, 13 & 14

We had a small and simple ceremony, a bit of makan-makan and some speeches to mark the end of Latifah, Shi Rho and Nana's internship at Danau Digital on Thursday, 26 June 2008. They had been with us for about two months and had helped us in many ways. They were very pleasant, polite, and soft spoken. But most importantly is that they had carried out their duties well, and, with passion and determination too.


We made a trip to Menara Taming Sari to end our day at the office. None of us had been up the tower before so everyone was quite excited about it. The view from the top was extremely interesting. A muddy river trying to find its way to a muddy sea, and plenty of colourful, not so colourful and wanting to be replaced roof tiles for you to see so what more can you ask for! After all, we ONLY had to pay RM10 (after discount for MyCard holders) to go up there.

The day, however, still belonged to the Interns. To Latifah (Intern No 12), Shi Rho (Intern No 13) and Nana (Intern No 14), on behalf of Danau, may I say that it's been a real pleasure to have you with us for the last two months. We hope you have learned something while with us and good luck to you in your future undertaking.

Shi Rho, Latifah, Nana
