Birthday and PTD

Birthday cake for the birthday girl..

Last Monday was Francyne's birthday (21st July). But she was smart - she took leave that day and told us that she won't be in the office on Friday (18th) afternoon. She had a feeling that we were going to do something. We were smarter -- we did a suprise do for her on the 17th afternoon.. here are some pix.. Happy Birthday Francyne..

'I know you guys are up to something'...



The ladies in the new wing with the birthday girl..

Also, last week Meor received a good news, he got accepted as PTD and now has to go for a 2 weeks course in INTAN, Kluang Johor. He stopped by our house yesterday before continuing his journey to Kluang this morning. Congratulations Meor!! You deserve it..

Saudara Baru...

Earlier this year (I think during February ke March gitu), dengan kuasa Allah ntah macamana me and hubby 'ter'berkenalan dengan seorang saudara baru dari France. Ali Jerome nama Islamnya - nama French dia - Jeromé Armenío. He's from Sete, South of France.

Kebetulan hari Sabtu tu, dalam keboringan, hubby ajak kluar jalan-jalan (masa tu lebih kurang pukul 2.30 ptg). Tak tahu mana nak tuju, drive ke area Lake Garden tapi memandangkan keadaan tengahari terik tu, in the end we decided to go to Muzium Kesenian Islam (memandangkan selalu asyik ter'miss' je peluang nak ke sana).

It was a good trip - the models of masjid2 terkemuka di dunia was marvellous. We spent an hour jugak la membelek model2 masjid kat situ. Bila we all move on to the other part of the exhibits, terserempak la dengan sorang mamat 'mix' ni. We all mula2 ingatkan org uzbekistan or maybe orang Bosnia ke because he has that kind of look.

Ali came from a family yang tak ada agama (atheis).. lama sebenarnya dia mencari dari satu ugama keugama yg lain, kata Ali hatinya rasa tak selesa, dia rasa jiwanya masih kosong. Masa umur dia 17 tahun (this was 4/5 years ago), dia mula mengenali ugama Islam dan terus tertarik. Yang menariknya tu, he manage to find Islam against all odds. Ye la kat sana kan masjid tak banyak macam kat sini. Tak ade sesiapa yang bagi dia guidance, kawan-kawan semua question dia kenapa nak masuk Islam - because to them, Islam is associated with terrorism. Tak ramai orang2 kat situ tau pasal Islam..Makanan halal, memang susah la nak dapat - he said he survived dgn vegetables saja masa awal2 tu.

Mulanya dia sorok dari pengetahuan keluarganya, after few weeks mak dia insist Ali to tell the truth (mungkin naluri ibu) sebab tengok perubahan dari segi tingkah laku anaknya. The moment Ali explain everything to his mother, terus mak Ali ni tarik tangan anak dia pergi mini market halal kat area bandar Sete. Kata Ali dia terharu tengok ibunya bersungguh nak mencari barangan halal. Ali rasa serba salah nak explain bab minyak masak, kuali & utensils lain.

Memang benarlah spt yg dikatakan 'kasih ibu berpanjangan' - mak Ali kata jgn risau dia akan belikan set yg baru khusus utk masakan halal utk Ali sorang. Masa ni kata Ali dia benar-benar terharu sangat melihatkan pengorbanan ibunya.

In fact, bab makanan halal nilah Ali faham hikmah disebaliknya. Adik lelaki dia siap puji masakan mak dia lagi, bila mak dia masak halal dishes - 'Kenapa hari ni mak masak lain dari yg dulu?...sedap betullah mak masak hari ni.' So Ali mula realised dia dah buat keputusan yg tepat dan dia rasa bertambah yakin dgn ajaran Islam. In fact kata Ali, the beautiful part is from that day onwards mak dia terus masak makanan halal sbb the whole family termasuk kakak, bapak, datuk & nenek Ali dah prefer masakan halal. He's really hoping that one day the whole family will join him as a muslim. Tak putus dia berdoa pada Allah.

Anyway, tujuan utama dia datang ke Malaysia sbb nak melawat dan bersolat di dalam sebanyak mungkin masjid yang dia boleh sepanjang dia ada kat Malaysia. Disebabkan asyik bersembang dengan dia sepanjang masa tu, we all pun ajak la dia ikut we all lepas dah habis kat Muzium tu.. Dia dengan gembiranya accepted the invitation. Tapi dengan syarat, we all kena pegi solat Asar kat Masjid Negara dulu dengan dia. After solat, we went makan-makan with him kat Bangsar and eventually dropped him off kat Bukit Bintang area where he was staying. He left for France the next day. Since then, we've been constantly in touch with him.

Interestingly immediately lepas peluk agama Islam, dia sambung belajar bahasa Arab for one whole year untuk memahami kandungan Al-Quran. Recently he completed his studies in Mandarin language diShanghai. Rasanya macam he took Nabi Muhammad's s.a.w. advise literally - pergi menuntut ilmu hingga ke Negeri China.

He is now back in France and planning to pursue his studies in University of Paris. He told us he keep telling his family about Malaysian, how welcome he felt when he was here (we all la tu.. hehehe) and now his family felt that he might eventually live in Malaysia - mana tak nya sebab kata Ali dia asyik citer pasal Malaysia je..

Masa makan2 kat Bangsar.. sempat jugak bergambar

Bila dengar cerita Ali dan tengok keazaman dan tekad Ali dalam mendalami Islam, nampak benar kesungguhannya. Sepatutnya kita lebih bersyukur kerana dilahirkan sebagai seorang Islam.

HIV/AIDS - Dulu vs Sekarang

Dulu sebelum I mula kerja kat ABU ni, tak banyak yang I tau pasal HIV and AIDS ni.. Sekarang ni alhamdullilah dah banyak la sikit ilmu yang diperolehi especially bila I dapat jumpa dengan "people who live with HIV and AIDS" not only in Malaysia but also from other countries in Asia-Pacific..

Disebabkan my medium is media -- whenever we attend seminar and conference, mesti akan kedengaran suara2 NGOs or UN agencies yang menyuarakan rasa tak puas hati dengan media.. Sebab according to them, media la penyebabnya why the discrimination and stigma against PLWHA started.. And it's still much alive in our communities. I guess there are some truth to it..
Ye la dulu2 kalau kita tengok kat TV -- messaging dia balik2 -- HIV/AIDS ialah penyakit yang berjangkit, berjangkit melalui seks bebas, not curable -- so mestila orang ramai jadi takut dengan disease tu..And bermulalah diskriminasi terhadap orang2 yang menghidapnya..

Itulah sebabnya sekarang ni, kami sedang mencuba untuk merubah tanggapan ini. 'Kami' disini bermaksud our little team kat office ni (consists 3 ladies) who are working hard to help change that perception. However, it will definitely take time -- our main role now is to change the broadcaster's perception first then only can the audiences perception change.

In order to change the broadcaster's perception, we have to train mainly the producers and reporters on the sensitivity of the issue (language/picture usage etc) and not further discriminate the PLWHA. A lot of other issues pertaining to confidential rights, verification of facts and preventive measures which are acceptable in their communities that journalists/producers need to understand.

Because of that, we are given the mandate by the Global Media AIDS Initiative to bring along about 6 journalists from the Asia-Pacific Region -- namely Thailand, Indonesia, Fiji, Malaysia, Pakistan and China to the XVII International AIDS Conference in Mexico City next month. Estimated about 25,000 delegates will be at this conference including people who are living with HIV/AIDS. I really hope that this will be an eye opener for the journalists as well as myself. And I also hope that this small steps we are taking will eventually benefit the PLWHA and ease their burden in their life.

So, it's definitely not just a makan angin trip for me.. it is work..

Alahai kaki...(insiden jatuh..)

Selepas majlis Yone petang tu, malam tu satu insiden telah menimpa diriku...alahai..

Malam tu planning nak keluar makan dengan Ayah Chik and Achik with my siblings.. on the way ke kereta Ayah Chik yang di park di bahagian luar parking Hotel Vistana Penang, aku tergelincir, terpelecok dan terduduk.. The car was parked on dirt side of the road, it was quite dim and I thought that the 'tar' road was paved until right at the end of the area.

Sakit ada, nak tergelak pun ada..Nasib baik gelap.. tak la malu sangat.. Aku dah la berat nak bangun.. so Meor had to help me up. Bila bangun aje, dah rasa semacam dah sakitnya.. tapi paksa jugak jalan masuk kereta. Atas kereta punya la sakit, tapi control macho la jugak lagi sebab nak pegi makan Mee Udang dgn semua..

Anyway, to cut the story short..malam tu sampai je kat rumah dah memang tak boleh jalan.. kaki dah bengkak. Since it was really late and dah penat siang tu, I decided to pegi hospital tomorrow morning. Malam tu terpaksa mengesot naik tangga nak pegi bilik tidur.

Esoknya went to Lam Wah Ee hospital for x-ray and check up. Since it was Sunday, pegi je la kat emergency. The x-ray was done and the MO said that there was no obvious fracture, cuma sprained ankle ajela.. Dia bagi 3 days MC. However, she said that the x-ray should be scrutinised by the radiologist (who was not working on Sunday) so she said to come and collect the report on Monday--26th May.

Sekalinya esok tu gi amik report -- ada chip fracture to the cuboid bone..it seems harmless sebab kecik aje.. tapi sakit la jugak..

The circled area where the chip fracture on my x-ray.. Sorry la gambar tak clear, cahaya tak cukup and guna kamera phone aje..

Anyway, bila balik ke KL, went to see the orthopaedic surgeon kat HUKM (kalau Dr Syeikh Muzaffar tak jadi angkasawan, mau dapat dia jadi my doc kan..hehehe). Finally Dr Suhail (my orthopaedic doctor) said that eventhough it was a chip fracture, the place where it chipped is where our muscle hang on to the bone.. tu la sebabnya it's really painful. So I got another 2 weeks MC and have to totally immobilise my right foot and use crutches.

Today, the 2 weeks is up. The doctor was happy with my healing progress. But he gave me 1 more week off and 2 weeks 'light duty' notice. However, he still said that I will be able to go to Mexico in August.. but no high heels for a while and if possible to wear sneakers when I have to walk a lot.


Sib baik baru beli kasut jogging so insyallah the trip nak pegi tu covered la kot. But I have to cari kasut yang soft padded as well la..


Also, I missed my outing with Zaili and Leen to the second season of P Ramlee The Musical on the 14th sebab ye la kan macamana nak bertongkat plak kat Istana Budaya tu kan.. So, sorry la again ye Zaili and Leen.. insyallah ada rezeki next time kita outing sekali ye..

Bersyukur dan redha dengan ujian Allah kali ni..

Pre-preparation & Pertunangan Yone..

Well.. Akhirnya Yone dah selamat bertunang dengan Azri last 24th May 2008...

For me, the preparation had started about 2 months before..Compared to Mama, my tugas is just the hantaran.. Whereas Mama had to think about the whole house and the whole kenduri..I think during my trip back to Penang in April ke March, mama ajak pegi ATUZ (pronounce as A to Z) to find ideas nak buat hantaran Yone..Lama jugak la we all melilau dalam kedai tu nak cari idea.. But finally mama nye idea took shape.. Mama sebenarnya dah lama teringin nak buat style ni.. especially lepas tengok "Pak Abu"nye idea kat Ratu Sehari a few years back.. All the hantaran are in pastel colours -- purple, pink, turqoise and green..

Sebenarnya mama dah check dengan Yone dulu, but Yone being Yone, tak kisah apa2 pun boleh.. Tu yang lama nak cari idea tu..

Actually antara banyak2 preparation of kenduri that I had done (for siblings and also cousins) - I think Yone punye preparation paling relax sekali.. Tak tau la whether this is because dah biasa ke, or sebab memang tak banyak preparation -- ye la Mama keep on saying, kalau boleh recycle apa yang ada -- recycle.. jangan nak membazir.. So, suprisingly cost nak buat hantaran Yone was less than RM 200..

Anyway during that particular weekend.. I took half day on 22nd tu sebab nak pegi servis keta, nak pegi Jalan TAR for last minute shopping for butang baju melayu as hantaran and cari baju nak pakai masa kenduri..

Sampai rumah maghrib la jugak.. Nasir kata, we might as well bertolak balik Penang early tomorrow morning so that sempat la nak kemas rumah and barang2 sebelum bertolak. He was also tired nak driving midnight tu.. Call Meor and changed plans.. Oh lupa plaks.. We were supposed to pick Meor and Adi up kat Jelapang on the way back.. While Rina will follow suit naik bas lepas abis activity kat college dia..Something about Teacher's Day celebration..

Around 7.30 baru we all bertolak..Dalam 9.30 pagi sampai la kat rumah parents Rina..Had breakfast and bertolak dalam pukul 10..Rina finally decide to follow us back at the same time so we had great fun balik sekali..

Dalam pukul 12.30 we all pun sampai Penang.. Khemah pun dah siap pasang..Tanya Yone how she felt??? She said macam tak percaya aja dah nak bertunang..

After lunch, I started with the hantaran..disebabkan ramai yang menolong-- Rina, Ayu and Yone.. kejap je dah siap.. Cuma nak susun barang2 kat dalam tu je yg lama -- sampai malam jugak la baru habis..

Side views of the hantaran -- courtesy Cha..

Sembilan dulang hantaran Yone..

Esok pagi2 before 8am I had to accompany Yone pegi makeup - awalnya, tapi Lisa yang empunya Romantis Boutique tu ada banyak kenduri nak pegi makeup so Yone terpaksa la pegi awal.. By 9.30 we all dah balik dan Yone terus la duduk kat dalam bilik Pengantin 'menunggu'.. Sebelum tu buat demonstration dulu macam mana nak duduk atas tikar sila yang Chu bawak dari Pengkalan..Yone was so funny..Tak tentu hala betul la budak sorang ni..

Yone menunggu kat dalam bilik

Another post in the room..

The sisters amik peluang bergambar sekali..nanti belum tentu dapat 'can' lagi..

Adi pun kan main seronok lagi 'michik' nak bertunang.. yela tu..bukannya paham pun.. siap happy lagi tangkap gambar dengan Mami Ayu (yang lost more than 20 kg last year -- u go gurl!!).

Mak Azri sarungkan cincin merisik kat Yone..

Kakak sulung Azri menyarungkan cincin tunang di jari Yone..

The kids having a field day kat atas sebab tak de orang nak larang they all main.. habis satu bilik penuh dengan 'playdoh'. From left - Haifa Amni, anak my cousin Anis, Nur Farhana - my youngest cousin sebelah mama and Meor Adi Fimiyun -- the only anak sedara..

Kelakarnya lepas dah habis majlis pertunangan Adi merajuk dengan semua orang.. especially Michik dia.. the reason being -- masa the whole majlis berjalan tak ade sapa yang melayan dia.. semua orang tengah sibuk takde masa nak tengok dia.. it was funny.. tapi kejap je la lepas tu okay balik..

Mama was really happy but can see that she's really tired..sampai tak sempat nak tangkap gambar sefamili..nasib baik sempat tangkap dengan Yone..Mama siap cakap kat Cha.. "Cha nanti Cha punya bertunang buat terus kahwin la Cha, mama dah tak larat ni"

So to Yone & Azri selamat bertunang and semoga cepat la naik pelamin.. To Abang A, Zaili, Leen and whoever else interested --majlisnya insyallah March next year..

Something happen to me later that evening tapi lets put that in another entry..

Vientiane, Laos

Actually dah lama I wanted to do this entry, tapi memanjang tak sempat.. so dari hari ke sehari almost dah half a month since I last started this entry.. sorila ye.. the entry is backdated.. Tapi memandangkan hari ni 9th May -- I wish Meor Hamzah Happy 29th Birthday

Here's my entry on Laos --

Setelah sekian lama tak travel, last November I was assigned to go to Vientiane, Laos for a project funded by Asian Development Bank on issues of development in Greater Mekong Subregion -- topic was really boring, tapi disebabkan hotel yang we all lepak for the meeting (courtesy of my boss -- 'courtesy' as in chosen) was really nice, ok la gak...

Vientiane on it's own, tak adela apa sangat, ala2 macam Ipoh town 20/30 years ago.. pukul 5 -5.30 ptg, kedai dah tutup.. malam takde mende and tempat nak pegi takde sangat so kebanyakannya lepak je la..

Anyway, the first night we arrived (I was traveling with Francyne), we were picked up by the hotel transportation free of charge..how cool was that..Hospitality was really great..I recommend kalau sesapa nak pegi Vientienne, boleh la duduk kat The Green Park hotel...The next day after dah check everything was fine for the meeting, Francyne and I went to town to shop - Francyne cakap takut nanti tak cukup time nak shopping later... So we went to this market called the Morning Market -- kononnya Morning tapi sampai ke petang bukaknya.. but as I sayla pukul 5 - 5.30 dah tutup..

Food wise as usual, susah -- but adala a couple of Indian/Pakistan restoran yang halal -- so dapatla cover for one night -- other times -- I am totally vegetarian.. Lagipun stock bawak banyak..

The participants to the project was ok-ok je la.. sebab yg ada pun only 4 of them.. including one from Lao PDR itself.. Ms Malayvieng -- or as we call her Malay..

The hotel.. nice and serene right??

The hotel's restaurant.. Francyne and I will always have our breakfast here.. eventhough matahari dah naik and sometimes terik... still serene and quiet for breakfast..

This is during the first night out. The ADB guys mula2 reluctant to have Indian food (rupanya sebab Indian food kat Philippines teramat la mahalnya) -- but lepas dah try the first night, the next night dah sibuk nak pegi lagi....Anyway, thanks to Francyne yg peka with my requirement -- she yg suggested for us to eat at this halal restaurant.

The next night, Francyne bawak all of us for welcome dinner in town -- kalau tak salah the restaurant name is "Kop Chai De" -- maksudnya welcome ke terima kasih.. i pun dah tak ingat. Ni Jason(ADB) ready to makan the 'cengkerik' goreng during this dinner - at least I think it was cengkerik goreng.. tak tau la plak kalau serangga lain..

After dinner, we went to this bar across the street -- it was Malay's Jazz Bar. This is Malay and Jason sitting and talking in the bar... that was my first time ever in a bar -- luckily it wasn't 'happening' yet as it's still early. But me and Francyne, we were the first ones to leave.. penat la..

Me listening to Tito's experience when he attended one of the Halal conference in Southern Thailand(some years back).. he gave some pretty interesting facts -- although I don't quite look interested in the picture hahaha...mengantuk macamana nak look interested..

How on earth did the topic of 'Halal' came about ? Well, while they were drinking wines, they serve this snack macam beef strips which at that point I ingat pork.. Malay beria-ia suruh I makan, she said "it's beef, don't worry!!" I told her, even if it's beef, it's still not halal because it's not slaughtered the Muslim way.. so that's how the topic started between me and Tito..

Both of us looking very mengantuk--really want to go back to the hotel room and bedebush..However, sebab kat Vientiane takde teksi, we have to naik some sort of a tuk-tuk.. of course who would dare to naik tuk-tuk sorang2 so I had to wait for someone to leave so that I can tumpang..

This was taken during a field trip (on the last day of meeting ) to a "school for teachers" -- ala2 maktab perguruan la yang di'funded' by ADB. The bebudak yang nampak macam students to sebenarnya are going through training to become teachers. Ada sorang tu datang dari jauh di kawasan pendalaman -- 2 tahun belajar baru sekali balik kampung.. kos tinggi and jauh sangat katanya..

Kat atas yours truly with the camera crew from Laos National Television -- I wasn't involved with any of the production part - just coincidentally berdiri kat sebelah diaorang..sibuk gak nak tengok macamana they all operate..

This is the student (sebelah kanan, berbaju putih dan ber'tie') yang I kata duduk jauh di pendalaman.. kesian jugak tengok they all.. But you can see their determination to be good teachers so that they can teach their younger generation and prosper.. He is going to teach English.. He speaks quite well for a Laotian..

Yang dasyatnya lagi.. they all bercucuk tanam and ternak ikan/binatang untuk dapat sumber makanan sendiri.. ye la semua nak beli mana ada duit..

Since we all datang buat field trip ni hari ahad.. you can see la all the students tengah study lepas basuh2 kain and mengemas -- kat belakang tu I am not too sure whether it's the classes ke they all punya dorm.. tak ingat..Tapi rupa dorm they all very macam zaman sekolah kita la kat sini -- katil bertingkat, satu dorm panjang share 20-30 orang.. baju2 sidai merata..

Another angle of the school.. the guy in yellow shirt is Roger from CCTV.

After the school trip, we went for lunch by the Mekong River.. the restaurant is actually floating on the water -- siap ada floating sampan as restaurants lagi..Tapi food wise alamak.. gelinya(paham-pahamlakan).. but untuk mengelakkan daripada host (orang kementerian jugak rasanya) rasa kecik hati.. aku makanla nasi kosong je.. pastu dalam van belasah makan biskut yg dibawak untuk time2 emergency mcm ni..

Kat atas tu, gambar lepas semua orang dah makan by the river..

Lepas lunch, we went to another place some 'irrigation' place that ADB also help funded to ensure farmers has sufficient water to plant their crops..Another big welcome.. siap dapat kalungan bunga lagi -- tengok la kat atas tu..

Next we went out to the fields to meet and try to interview the farmers that actually benefit from this programme.. Malay had to do a report for her news programme malam tu..

Anyway, the reason why I include this photo is talk about the way Lao women dress -- officially every Lao women has to wear the Lao skirt -- ala2 macam batik jugak la.. top tak kisah nak pakai apa pun.. tapi seluar tak boleh pakai.. semua kena pakai skirt..the skirt plak akan diikat dengan tali pinggang besi yg ada kerawang2 tu -- macam my Opah used to wear.. to know the status of the women (whether orang berada ke orang biasa) you can judge from the belt.. kalau besar, colour gold -- ha tu orang kaya la tu.. kalau kecik halus je.. biasa je la..Unfortunately, I tak de plak the proper picture of a full dress Laotian woman.. terlupa nak amik..so this is the best I can show u all la..

The LNTV camera crew did not come properly equipped.. macamana datang buat interview kat outdoor tak ade 'boom' mic?? Nasib baik la participant dari Vietnam si Huy ni creative.. terus create a mic boom out of ranting kayu..

And the interview went well.. I think la..Mana nak paham apa diaorang cakap..

Day trip to Melaka.

Last Saturday we went to Melaka to attend my office mate's wedding. It was Lisa's wedding. Memandangkan we are a team, nak tak nak kena la pegi jugak walau pun Nasir ada banyak kerja..

My boss (Francyne) and family wanted to spend the whole weekend in Melaka, so we sort of promised to meet up at Lisa's house.

We all started the journey at around 12.40pm, the Sungai Besi tol, was as usual jam, so sampai ke Ayer Keroh dah around pukul 3. From Ayer Keroh tu dalam map yang Lisa bagi ke rumah dia, nampak macam tak jauh tapi sebenarnya boleh tahan la jugak jauhnya.. Her house is kat Pantai Klebang..The housing area was really nice, macam ala-ala spa gitu..Sampai2 je, orang pun dah surut (ye la majlis sampai pukul 4, awak sampai dah pukul 3.40, mana tak surutnya). However we were greeted warmly and we saw that a couple of people we know are still around.

Lisa got married to a Frenchman yang mengajar hospitality course kat Taylor's College. Suprisingly Adam a.k.a Bertran looks quite comfortable in the baju melayu, tanjak etc. He also seems at ease with Lisa's relatives and friends.

So, to Lisa and Adam(Bertran) 'Selamat Pengantin Baru' dan semoga berbahagia ke anak cucu..

On the way back, we meet up with Cha kat Jaya Jusco for a chit-chat sambil makan lagi.. Cha pun dah nak pindah next week, so this is the last time la we see her in Melaka.

By 6.30pm we pushed off balik KL.. sampai KL about 10.00pm la gak sebab singgah solat kat R&R Ayer Keroh.. Sebelum sampai kerumah, singgah dulu ke rumah MIL nak pass buah tangan dari Melaka.. Konon nak singgah, last-last sampai habis konsert AF baru we all balik.. Sampai rumah dah midnight.. Fuh.. penat but it was fun..

Enjoy the pictures..

The happy couple...

Lisa tengah menayang inai di tangan to Francyne

Lisa with the kids -- from left Eibhie(anak Francyne), Medina (anak Anita, another colleague) and Anita's niece (behind yg bertudung) Fatimah..

Eibhie got the most attention at the kenduri, most of Lisa's relative sibuk bribe her with goodie bags, sampai mak dia pun heran mana si kecik ni dapat bag bukan main banyak lagi.. lepas satu, satu.. Tengokla dalam gambar ni pun, tengah pegang goodie bag..Ye la mana taknya, her eyes are really blue.. geram nengoknya.. baik plak tu.. nak kat orang.. But when she was younger, her eyes were bluer, now dah a bit greenish/grayish.

The team with spouses -- from left to right - Craig (Francyne's husband and my ex-boss), Nasir, Adam, Lisa, me, Francyne and Eibhie..
