Us. In front of the back White House.
I went to DC last weekend, with some of my friends. We went there to celebrate the 'Eid Open House organized by Malaysia Students Department at DC. It was a good journey, overall. But I must said that I felt a little bit strange since my thoughts to Allahyarham Encik Rosllan was strong at that time. Last time when I was there, it was a moment to remember with Allahyarham. But now, many of the MSD officers are new, especially from JPA. For MARA, it still the same. I met Encik Ahmad Yeob, and saw Puan Huda.

Puan Ruziah, the JPA Education and Training Advisor and her family were very kind to let us sleep at their house. My warmest appreciation goes to her and the family, and not to forget, their maid, Bibik, who cooked Masha Allah very delicious Malay delicacies. Tell me how many of us in States, wake up in the morning, and already been served with some hot 'Nasi Lemak' on the table?

Actually that was my third time at DC. First time was 3 years ago when I was attending Muktamar. My second time was last 2 years, when I was stranded at DC en route to London. But, every time I came to DC, things that happened there would always remained in my mind. This time, lucky us, there was White House Spring Garden Tours. The tour is only opened to public 4 times in a year. So, me and my friends grabbed the opportunity to explore as much as we could inside the White House Garden. Although I already visited White House before, that was my first time to go inside the White House compound.

It was a good travel experience for me. I got to know more about my fellow juniors, especially those who were in the same car with me. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to my fellow travelmates for any of my shortcoming.
