Picture stories: 2-in-1 tag

There are a few tags/awards from fellow bloggers which I'd been advised to accept & pass on others.
When it comes to awards - I must admit that I'm a bit shy to accept them. Not because I don't appreciate being given awards by well-meaning friends. I do appreciate them all - it's just... hmm... just... Well, I don't know exactly why, but somehow I feel content enough to know that I'd been "awarded" by friends without having to announce them here in this blog...

Anyway, there are two tags relating to photos - so here's my take on them:

1. Tag from Kit

Rules:

1) Take a recent picture of yourself or take a picture of yourself right NOW!

2) DON’T change your clothes, DON’T fix your hair…just take a picture.

3) Post that picture with NO editing.

4) Post these instruction with your picture.

5) Tag 10 people to do this
 
Ok, #1 - #4 done.
Snapped this photo just a moment ago, after lunch.
Definitely no cloth changing, just a bit of tudung-fixing. Eh - tudung is not hair, kan?

As for #5, I'm tagging... errr... anybody who feels like doing this tag :-)
 
 
2. Tag from Ermayum
 

1) Go to your photo files…Select the 8th photo folder.

2) Select the 8th photo in that folder.

3) Post that photo along with the story behind it.

4) Then challenge 8 blogging friends to do the same!

This is a photo of the clerks in my office having their breakfast on a Friday morning.
(I know it must be Friday because Hairi is wearing baju melayu). It's almost a routine for them to have breakfast together before 8.30 a.m., and to have it in the middle of the office so that it's near to their work stations, just in case there are phone calls to entertain before 8.30 a.m.

The 'island table' is also often used for lunch by the clerks. It was there in the first place to help making document-sorting-to-be-put-into-folders easier. But it is also convenient for other purposes.

Sometimes, when officers go outstation or go balik kampung, we would bring back ole-ole for the staff and the ole-ole would be put on this 'island table' - be it duty-free chocolates from Langkawi, tabaloi or kek lapis from Sarawak, kuih semar from Terengganu, dodol from Melaka, keropok amplang from Sabah, jeruk buah from Penang etc.

Sometimes, when our CC (Chief Clerk) feels like mothering the rest of us (she's 54), she would make some tea/coffee and announce to everyone in the sector that they could get their own mug out to get some hot tea/coffee from the 'island table'.

Sometimes, one or another officer would be generous enough to cook or buy breakfast for everybody in the sector - and yes, the nasi lemak/nasi goreng/bihun/mee/sandwiches would be put on - where esle? - the 'island table'. Sharing is caring, right?

Yes, it is convenient to have such a multi-purpose 'island table', kan?

Challenge 8 blogging friends, eh?
I hereby challenge (ehcheh) these 8 to do this tag...
1) Kit
2) Jaja (I have a feeling it's going to be photo of your baby girl)
3) Anira
4) Rin (update please, it's been ages dear)
5) Lina (bet it's going to be Japan-related photo)
6) Klynn Ismail
7) Dakwanie (blog dah bersawang tak ingat punya)
8) Hanny Zurina (because you seem to be good at blogging about photos)

Ok. Done!
