Plaza BB Dalam Kenangan...

BB Plaza nak kena roboh?

Hmmm..walaupun dah bertahun sebenarnya tak ke area KL kat situ, tapi area Lot10 and BB Plaza tetap menjadi tempat nostalgia waktu remaja.

Tempat tu la dulu tempat dituju time girls outing ngan kekawan asrama dulu...Kowie, Nira, Fara, Amoi...Peej, ko takde sebab ko duduk Kluang...kalau ko dok Klang, maybe ko bleh join. Hehehe..

Tempat ni dulu aku pi double date ngan x-bf aku, Mr. F. Bukan double date la...dia bwk best friend dia, aku bawak adik aku. Hahaha..siap bodyguard. Yang kelakar, adik aku tak impress ngan Mr. F..sebab apa ntah aku tak ingat. 

Tempat ni dulu tempat nak shopping baju T yang time tu dianggap cukup branded. BUM, Quicksilver dan yang sewaktu dengannya. Rasanya Tshirt BUM aku tu ada lagi kot.

Tempat ni memang banyak kenangan. Rasanya anak2 aku pun blum pernah aku bawak jejalan ke sana. Maybe aku kena bawak satu hari...sebelum diroboh.

Kenangan..kenangan...

Taking a Breather

Just emailed my classmates the 1st draft of my case study. Like, seriously...I only had 8 pages typed. Itupun termasuk cover page. That other dude had 57 pages!! Granted he had a lot of graphs and pictures but at least his looked at least 80% done. Mine looked like it had been baked at the last minute, which of course was the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

I haven't had time to do anything I've wanted these days. The massage session that I've been promising myself is now 5 weeks overdue. I haven't had time to catch up on my CSI series or even The Good Wife. Sob. As much as I hate to admit it, I've even let my MBA slack quite a bit. For example, this morning we had Mid Terms for our Service Marketing (yeah, mid terms on a Saturday...fun!) and I had to wake up at 4am just to start reading the chapters. It's amazing I could even attempt to answer the questions since I was practically a zombie in the exam hall.

It's not that I'm regretting taking this promotion but I guess I'm still trying to fit in into the role. I've been such an operations kind of person that taking on the role as more of a strategist needs some getting used to. I also really need to work on my ability to delegate work among my staff. I find myself still doing operational work when I know I have competent staff to do it. It's not really a trust issue, it's because I've always been a very hands-on type of person. And now I find myself unable to be everywhere at once and I'm freaking out.

It hasn't all been bad though. Last weekend, the management level in my unit went to Lumut for a BP retreat. That was my first time going for such an occasion and I felt very much like the new girl heading there. I was worried I wouldn't be able to contribute any ideas or defend my unit's current direction. Turns out, I did rather ok and I got good constructive feedback as well. The sessions were long and went up until midnight but I did learn a lot from the other team mates. The fun part was when we all took a break and did some island hopping to Pangkor where I bought 4kg of anchovies and some dried cutlery for my staff. We then had a karaoke session during our last night there. Let's just say I did Abba and 3 Doors Down proud. Enough said! Heee...

We were suppose to go to my mom's house today but I really wanted to try attempt my case study without much distraction. If I go there, I won't be able to resist my nephew and his chubby cheeks.

Well, here's to at least some rest on Sunday until the whole craziness starts again. Have a nice weekend, peeps!

Busy Bee

Sometimes I wish I had more days in a week to do all things on my To Do list. But then I start thinking, if Obama can achieve so much while running a damn country, I can certainly survive and run a small unit!

I have a training session to give in Johor tomorrow. Uwaaa, my flight is at 710am and since it's via AA, I'll have to get out of the house and drive to LCCT at least by 6am. Since it's only a day trip, my flight coming back is at 10pm something, meaning I'll probably reach home at around midnight.

Then Friday - Sunday, it's off to Lumut for our management retreat. Urgh, what a way to spend the weekend. Though the agenda doesn't look that hectic, it is time I would rather be spending on my bed sleeping. Or doing my massive pile of assignments.

Argghh...that reminded me. My assignments. Plus the following week is mid terms. When, when, when am I gonna find the time to study?

Breathe in, breathe out. Kang semput balik den dok pikirkan semua ni. Baik tido dulu. And get ready for an early drive to the airport tomorrow.

Another Milestone...

I should have blogged about this when it happened but I guess I was still in some kind of denial.

Dania...has entered the realm of womenhood.

Auww, shucks!!

OK, Dania came her first period last week. She announced it very "matter of fact"ly and with no crying on her part. Unlike her mother, who felt like throwing herself on the floor, screaming "Why...why....why is my baby growing up so fast?!!"

She's nine. Nine, ok!!

Isn't this too soon?

*Sob.

Nostalgia

I overheard this song on the radio the other day. Blame it on my period but suddenly I felt so emotional, I ended up stopping the car at the side of the road because I couldn't stop crying.

It's been a long time but I guess some things stay with you forever. And eventhough it was never meant to be, some part of me is grateful to know that a long, long, long time ago....some one felt strongly enough about me to give me this song.

Angel - Jon Secada

I, I can't read the future


But I still want to hold you close

Right now, is all I want from you

So give me the morning

Sharing another day

With you, is all I want to know



And baby I, I've tried to forget you

But the light of your eyes still shine

You shine like an angel

A spirit that won't let me go



I, I didn't want to tell you

Things I didn't want to know myself

I was afraid to show

But you gave me a reason

A reason to face the truth

To face the truth, face the truth, face the truth



And baby I, I've tried to forget you

But the light of your eyes still shine

You shine like an angel

A spirit that won't let me go
Won't let me go

Let go of my heart

What I Want For Christmas....

...eh, Christmas dah lepas ye? Dah takleh mintak hadiah lagi ke? Tak pedulik!! En Santa, silalah penuhkan balik sledge anada dan hantar barang2 berikut ke rumah saya.

1. Fridge baru.
Waaaaa...fridge aku yang ada sekarang ni, beli since kawin ok! Since kawin!! Ni, dia dah start leaking, dah berapa kali panggil orang betulkan..kejap je la ok, then start leaking balik. Lepas tu, ntah mana satu hulubalang aku yang hempas pintu dia, dia punya compartment satu dah pecah. Plus (banyaknya alasan nak dapatkan fridge baru ni), kecik la fridge aku tu!! Asyik terkemik2 je sayur2 kalau aku beli. Nak letak botol2 air pun takde tempat kekadang. Walaupun orang2 rumah aku ni jenis tak minum air sejuk, tapi air sejuk kena ada get ready untuk tetamu. Aku teringin nak fridge yang pintu dia bukak 2 tu, macam gah je. Lepas tu nak jugak yang pintu dia bleh jadi cermin sekali...hahahah...bleh aku posing tiap kali masuk dapur.

2. Garmin GSP
Benda'alah ni la yang jadi penyelamat kitaorang time pi Singapore aritu (eh, post Singapore tak buat lagi!). Best plak ada suara pompuan manja dok bagi tau...turn right...turn left...keep to your right...you have arrive at your destination. Hahahaha...tapi aku rasa memang perlu ada GPS ni. Aritu member ofis tunjuk dia beli, siap ada car camera lagi...fuh, nampak semua kete2 yang mana mencicit2 potong keta dia.

3. Galaxy Note
Serious, aku ni bukan jenis yang kagum gadget2 ni semua. Itu semua penangan En Rashid. Apa jenis phone yang dia takde...semua ada, memenuhkan laci dresser aku je. iPhone je takde..apasal ntah. Maybe sebab dah ada iPad. Anyway, back to akunya obsession ngan Galaxy Note. Ni semua dok layan youtube la ni, dok tengok iklan2 kat situ. Padahalkan, kalau ada benda tu, aku rasa aku akan utlizekan 10% je. Yang lagi 90% tu, for show only. Tapi tak kisah! Nak jugak! Baru la gempak pi meeting, orang lain pakai iPad2 ambik note..aku pakai Galaxy Note. Nama pun untuk ambik notes!!

Itu je la kot wishlist aku for Christmas. Ada sapa2 nak jadi secret santa aku?? Huhuhuhu..nampaknya, aku kena save duit sendiri je la beli. Eh, tapi fridge tu, aku rasa En Rashid yang patut beli. Hehehe..also GPS tu, sebab dia je yang manjang sesat. Dah alang2, belikan Note sekali untuk aku. Settle!!

Another One Done!

Yesterday, my team did our presentation for Law. Yeah..over and done with! Despite the usual last minute preparations, we did ok. We kind of winged it through but participation from the class helped liven up the session. In the end, we took over an hour to present all the slides. Hahaha..seriously, sometimes our ability to "menggoreng" amazes me. :D

Initially we wanted to go "wild" and wear robes and fake wigs like judges, seeing how it is a law class. But we couldn't find any in such short notice. So we decided to just wear the usual coats. Min, being the pervert she is, suggested we jazz up our dress code further.

Apparently, pants were optional!!

Updates on the Random

I found my watch!! It was in a drawer where both Wati and myself had looked a thousand times yesterday. Toyol pulangkan balik ke? Doesn’t matter, ahh…I’m just so happy I found it. I had already started surfing the Guess website, looking at the latest designs. Heeee, now I can put away my money or maybe put it to use by pimping up the Tank.


Oya, talking about the Tank, I forgot to inform that I have officially succeeded in mangling its left side by scrapping it along the wall as I was entering the parking lot beside the office. Like…WTH?! Luckily the damage is somewhat minor (NOT!) and the door can still be opened and closed. En. Rashid was surprisingly very calm when I told him what I had did. He even took me out for lunch!! Uwaaaa, lagila rasa guilty!! We’ve decided to paint the Tank a different color. I’m moving towards something like blue-ish grey, while En. Rashid thinks maroon would be nicer. We’ll see how it goes…abih dah duit bonus eden!

I’m taking this Thursday off! Agenda for the day….sleep! And maybe sleep some more. And then continue to sleep.

I’m still at a lost on what to get En. Rashid for his birthday. Yeah, the dinner was somewhat of a given, but now I need something physical. And NOT a motorcycle. Because I love En. Rashid too much to let him ride around on a bike. It’s not that I don’t trust him to ride safely…I don’t trust the other idiots on the road not to run him over.

Ramdon...Or Random.

I’ve misplaced my watch. I know I had it on Saturday when I came back from work (yes, working on Saturday!) but on Sunday, I couldn’t find it. I turned the whole house upside down looking for it. The good thing is, I KNOW it’s somewhere in the house. Usually I either put it in my wristlet or place it on the cabinet in the living room. The worst that could have happened is that Daria could have gotten a hold of it (she likes to wear it sometimes) and thrown it in the dustbin. That would be like CRAAAAPPPP!! I hope Wati or the girls find it soon because I feel naked without it.


How long can I watch and be mesmerized by a baby polar bear playing with a blue bucket? More than 10 minutes apparently, I played the video again and again. Too cute!! I [Heart] polar bears.

I found RM300.45 in my handbag, in one of the secret inner zippers thingy.

I need a break. Very Soon. I feel burnout already.

Yesterday was En Rashid's birthday. I took the whole family plus my parents and brothers out for dinner at Chilies. Urgh, Steak at Chilies is not good. Will stick to VS after this.

I Wanna Go!!!

Tadi pi makan Subway ngan En Rashid. Lalu depan kedai muzik, terpampang poster BESARRRRR mamat ni. Terus aku terasa orgasmic!

Oh Em Jiiii!!! Aku memang suka sangat mamat ni. X-bf aku kat sekolah dulu ada belikan aku kaset dia yang Breathless tu. Sampai putus tape tu aku dok dengar lagu2 dia again and again.

Aku cakap kat En Rashid...bawak la aku pi concert mamat ni. Patutkah dia tergelak besar di situ? Apakah tak munasabah permintaan aku ni? Dah la mai bulan May...birthday aku tu. Tak pernah (ye keee??) aku minta hadiah birthday...ni je la request aku. Uhuk...

Tapi aku tau, kalau aku terus desak En Rashid, mesti dia cakap "Tilawah Al Quran yg masuk free takmo pi, ni concert yang beratus hinggit nak pi."

Isy...mau terkedu terus di situ!

Update

Yeah, not so much. Sorry, just really pressed for time. Just wanted to drop a line to say "I'm not dead...or in a coma...or forgotten my password...or given on blogging!!"

Just in case you missed me.

ps: Will update (for real!!) really soon. Maybe tonight!! Fingers crossed.

Let's Get Loud!

So last night, my group presented our OM project to the class. Overall, we did great (the prof’s word) although we did run into some problems into the projector towards the end of the presentation.

Of course, the projector would die down during my part of the presentation *eyes rolling*.

At the end of the class, the prof gave us his evaluation on our presentation.

“Group member 1, you did good..captured the attention of the audience. GM2, excellent, very informative…GM3, very clear, good explanation…Azlina, good presentation but you speak too loud.

Silence fell across the room…and then…everyone laughed!!

Great!!

Then he continued, “Maybe next time, you can try to speak a bit softly.”

Sir, I’m a mother of 3 very rambunctious daughters therefore speaking softly does not really cater to my style.

In the end I just grinned and honestly it was a good evaluation because then the other classmates did come up to me and comment that I gave the part of the presentation like I was going to eat everyone up!!

Hahaha…ni la balanya dok bagi training kat orang2 yang asyik tak paham2 je. Dok nak makan orang je la kejenya.

Was One of Those Days

Semalam ari 1st aku start balik keje setelah seminggu lebih bercuti. Cuti paksa, kompeni tadak duit nak bayar duit letrik…bleh? Muahahahaha…jangan buat hal Long, kompeni ni jugak yg tanggung ko belajar pi US semua dulu. Kot bangkrap, ko jugak yg dok rumah tatap siling 24 jam. Heh.

Since aku dah cuti lama, si Daria pun dah macam naik lemak, dah sedap aku ada kat rumah layan dia. Memang sejak dia sakit aritu, aku manjakan dia lebih2. Sikit2 dukung, sikit2 cium. Semua benda dia nak, aku layan. So semalam bila aku nak pi keje, dia dah start enjin nangis sekuat hati. Aku pun dok la kejap layan dia (padahal memang hati tengah berat nak pi keje pun), bawak pi tengok kucing kat belakang rumah, layan playhousedisney kejap, then aku soh maid aku mai ambik dia so aku bleh pi keje. Time aku start enjin kete, aku dah dengar dia menjerit balik. Baru sedar dirinya ditipu agaknya. Alahai, syahdu lak aku tetiba.

Tapi aku rasa agak bala jugak aku dok buat anak aku macam tu sebab 2 kali aku kena patah balik ke rumah lepas tu. 1st, sebab aku tertinggal pastag. 2nd time, aku tertinggal hp lak. Yiiissshhhh!! Aku dah la lambat, lagiiii nak buat2 aku lambat lak. Dah lambat tu, takyah la nak ikut jalan pintas elak tol..harusla kita lalu jalan cepat yang bertol supaya dapat membayar gaji2 manusia2 yg keje tol ni. Dah masuk hiway, tetiba dapat call…dari bank. Alamak, CC dah overdue!! Minah bank tu kata kalau aku bank in duit/cek sebelum kul 9am, depa tak caj late charges.

Berdesap aku pecut pi bank, sib baik la aku dok bawak cek book aku. Kat bank lak, ko paham2 je la…kereta berjuta, parking punya la susah. Dah 2 kali aku round carik parking, last2 aku parking tepi jalan tempat motosikal. Asalkan tak halang jalan…lagi pun nak deposit cek je. Paling lama 10 minit.

Dah nasib aku aritu, tengah2 aku beratur nak deposit cek, mai la satu kereta polis ni, berenti betul2 sebelah kereta aku. Aku dah cuak dah time tu…jangan la ko saman lak kete aku. Aku dah serba salah, nak kluar pi alih kereta dulu ke or tunggu kejap. Apek depan aku ni plak tengah terkial2 tekan no akaun, dari tadi asyik salah je. Aku tawakal, lagipun dah 10 minit aku beratur…belakang aku ada 3 orang lagi. Kot aku pi alih kete, mau dah kul 10am baru aku dapat deposit cek…dah kena caj dah pun. Sambil2 tu, aku dok baca ayat pelembut hati ke arah polis tu…hahaha. Aku tengok sorang polis kluar kereta, sorang lagi dok kat tempat drebar. Yg mamat yg kluar tu, jalan pi tengok kete2 kat depan2 tu dulu. Cepat2 aku depositkan cek lepas tu meluru kluar bank ke kereta. Sungguh tak ayu cara aku berlari ngan baju kurung, tangan terkial2 carik kunci kereta dalam beg..isy.

Yang best tu, aku dah masuk kereta nak belah la kan…si mamat polis dalam kereta tu buat tak tauuuuuu je. Aku beria la signal, reverse kereta, ke depankan kereta, reverse balik, ke depan balik…konon nak selit kluar la belakang kereta polis tu. Sekali tak muat ko, walaupun aku bawak kereta myviku yg dah comel balik. Last2 aku tawakal…aku honkan polis tu. Sajaaaaaa je dia buat tak tau lagi. Aku dah start panas dah…kang kot aku dah kluar kereta, ketuk cermin tingkap polis ni, ada korang baca dalam paper alkisah pompuan mengamuk angkat kereta polis campak masuk longkang (pergh…time2 tu jugak aku jadi Incredible Hulk!!). Aku pun hon la lagi sekali..sambil2 tu, angkat la tangan tanda hormat (konon). Still dia buat tak tau. Aku ingat nak jadi polis kena mata and pendengaran 20/20, rupanya orang buta ngan pekak pun bleh apply yer? Bagus la…lepas tu soh depa bawak kete polis lak.

Last2 aku geram, aku kluarkan hp, ambik gambar kereta polis tu. Apa motif aku pun, aku tak tau…konon nampak ganas la. Tapiiiiii, berjaya ko!! Agak polis tu perasan aku dok snap gambar dia (gambar bontot kereta sebenarnya), dia terus gerakkan kereta dia ke depan sket. Sket je..tapi cukup la untuk aku selit kluar.

Dah habis hal cek ngan polis biol tu, aku pun gerak ke ofis. Dah parking semua, tengah jalan ke ofis, aku rasa macam something x betul.

Lahaulawalakuwataillah…tumit kasut aku lak buat hal!! Dua2 nak tercabut dah. Binawe betul la. Sib baik la sebelah ofis aku ada kedai cobbler, singgah kejap betulkan kasut. Minah kat situ tanya aku, bleh tinggalkan kasut tak, petang nanti ambik balik? Aku cakap, takleh…aku ada sepasang je, camne aku nak menapak pi ofis nanti? Dia offer la aku kasut2 spare yang ada kat sedai dia. Sedih ko…satu2 aku cuba kasut2 tu, yang muat hanya la sepasang capal jantan!! Uwaaaaa…gedabaknya kaki aku!! Last2, nak tak nak, aku kena dok tunggu minah tu betulkan kasut aku. Ada dekat ½ jam jugak la aku dok kat kedai tu, sambil layan siaran radio cina.

Dah betulkan kasut, aku pun terus pi ATM bank Islam, nak kluarkan duit sebab nak kena masukkan ke akaun MBB aku. Cek yang aku deposit tadi cek MBB, kang kalau cek bounce…mampos. Lagi banyak charges aku kena kang. Sib baik deposit cash machine kat ofis aku jalan..selalunya offline. Memula aku tengok ada sorang mamat ni tengah deposit duit, aku pun pi la beratur belakang dia. Tetiba sorang amoi ni mai…rupanya dia sampai dulu, tapi dia lepak duduk kat sofa belakang kejap. Sebab aku ni mulia hati (heh!), aku pun bagi la dia deposit cash dulu. Hambik ko, sampai 20 minit dia bolot mesin tu!!! Aku rasa dia nak deposit duit untuk bayar something kot, sebab bersungguh2 dia dok cuba again and again and again untuk masukkan duit tu. Tapiiiiiii, ko gunala common sense…kalau dah 20 kali ko masukkan duit tu, asyik kena reject je…mesti la duit ko something wrong. Ko bagi la orang belakang ko jalan dulu ke…ko pi guna mesin lain ke…ko pi kluarkan duit lain ke. Ini tak..dia dok cuba again and again and again. Sampai aku dok bagi hint2 kat dia. “Kat KL sentral ada mesin gak.” “Duit tu duit lama kot (sib baik tak cakap palsu..heh).” “Dah 20 minit dah ni” (ini menjawab persoalan mamat yang beratur belakang aku..hahaha). Last2 minah tu pun give up and terus belah camtu. Takde nak cakap sori ke, apa ke…dengan hentak2 kaki, dia belah je. Tapi sempat aku sampaikan ucapan “Idiot!!” ke arah dia…tak tau la dengar ke tidak.

Last2, dah nak kul 1030am, baru aku masuk ofis. Mak ai…sib baik la bos aku still cuti. Aku pun takde meeting. Tapi letih la for the 1st day.

Best Couple for 2011

Yesserrrr!!!!

*Nampak sangat aku fail bab photoshop ni tapi ada aku kisah? Muahahaa...sori, tengah bengong baru habis assignment kul 3am.

Entri Meraban Pasal Posa Ganti Semalam

Hari ni aku posa ganti lagi. Kalau arini berjaya, maksudnya tinggal satu hari je lagi hutang aku ngan Allah. Hmmm, sungguh mencabar posa time bukan bulan Ramadhan ni. Tapi macam la aku tak tau kan…since aku darjah 6 lagi, aku dah menghadapi situasi ni. Cuma certain2 tahun yang aku preggers je, aku dapat posa penuh time Ramadhan, jadi takyah rasa seksaan menggantinya. Adakah ini membuatkan aku ingin preggers? Oh tidak…aku sanggup ganti 10 bulan punya posa dari preggers lagi. Wahahahahaa…sila ambik perhatian yer, En Rashid.

Semalam aku posa ganti gak. Punya la seksa. Dah la ngan laptop aku asyik buat hal (serious, kalau dek bukan aku kena ganti balik laptop ni kalau hilang, dah lama aku baling dalam lombong. Sila ajukan aku ke lombong terdekat!)…ngan aku tak bangun sahur. Mata aku asyik2 tengok jam, asyik2 tengok jam. Ada sekali tu aku tengok jam, kul 11.15am. Aku buat keje sket…cek email sket…tengok balik jam…baru kul 11.18am!!! Apakah dunia sudah masuk slo-motion kah?!! Arghhh…seksanya.

Dek aku kebosanan terperap kat ofis je, konon cadang nak pi Amcorp mencari buku. Sekarang aku kalau nak pi beli buku, satu tempat je yang aku tuju…BookXcess. Korang pi carik la, dia tingkat atas sekali. Dulu kecik je kedai dia, sekarang dah besar. Best beli buku kat situ sebab murah bangat. Kalau MPH jual RM30, kat situ ko bleh dapat RM15. Half price gitu. Tapi tengok jugak la jenis buku apa. Dia banyak story books ah kat situ, and then harga dah murah…kekadang dia bagi discount lagi. Best!!

Okla…habis dah aku promote kedai buku tu. Aku pun dek boring..and dek jam laptop aku ni macam dah rosak je (macam tak bergerak je)..aku pun sms Liza, tanya nak pi beli buku tak. Makcik tu tengah nak makan rupanya..tengah pelahap nasi. Takpe la Liza, ko teruskan la aktiviti melahap ko tu. Aku pun dok tenung2 keadaan langit kat luar…macam panas je. Malas le plak nak pi menapak jauh2 (bukan jauh mana pun, lagipun naik ketapi, jalan kaki sikit je…dasar pemalas!), baik aku layan TV kat bilik bos aku ni. So in the end, aku spend jugak lunch time aku terperap dalam ofis, cuma bezanya aku terperap dalam ofis bos yg best sambil layan Law & Order.

Bila dah kul 2pm, keadaan aku dah mula kronik. Giller lapar ok! Sib baik gak la aku tak pi terokai kedai buku tadi, kalau x mesti either aku buka posa or pengsan tengah jalan. Time tu jugak, laptop aku makin mengganas ketidakbetulannya. Aku sedn satu email, dia hang. Kena restart. Send satu email, hang lagi. Apakah dosa aku nak send email ni? Dengan send-menyend email ni, baru orang tau saya buat keje tau. Kalau tak, mesti orang ingat saya ngadap laptop sambil layan FB. Sian nanti orang tu dapat dosa free sebab saya takde akaun FB pun.
Kul 4.30pm, aku dah sms En Rashid. Arini orang posa, jadi balik on time. Yer, aku ngan En Rashid bahasakan diri masing2 “orang”. Tak tau la kenapa…and sesungguhnya memang tak romantic. Tapi kitaorang memang bukan jenis romantic pun. Romen hebat…romantic tidak! Muahahahahaa…ok, abaikan statement aku tadi.

En rashid cuba mencabar keimanan aku. “Ada keje ni.” Oooo, pentingkan keje dari bini yer. Baiklah!! Lepas tu bleh soh aku tumpang member ofis balik rumah lak. Ketahuilah, aku dah nak separa pengsan ni, memang niat aku masuk kete, terus nak tido terkangkang. Mengapa terkangkang? Sebab cara itu menunjukkan betapa penatnya aku posa aritu.

Sib baik En Rashid saying bini rupanya…dapat la aku balik on time. Dan memang aku bantai tido terkangkang sampai balik rumah. Layanla En Rashid radio tu sorang2…macam aku tak tau dia dok nyanyi lagu Lady Gaga.

Balik rumah dah kul 630pm. Nikmat!! Maghrib tinggal 30 minit je lagi. Layan si budak kecik tu, sedar2 dah azan. Puas hati dapat minum air serbuk coklat secawan besar. Nak2 la tengok lauk yang Wati masak, sodap2 belaka. Aku pun jadi macam liza, makan nasi dengan pelahapnya.
Harini aku posa lagi. Liza baru je sms aku pi carik buku. Aku tak sahur pagi tadi. Patutkah aku gagahkan diri? 3 hari cuti deepavali ni…ngadap muka En Rashid cukup ½ hari, baik aku pi beli buku. Heeee.

Procrastinating

I really should be studying for my finals tomorrow. Need to finish my final group assignment for econs, need to read 3 more chapters for OB, need to start studying for accounts.

Hubby really needs to complete his presentation slides due tomorrow.

Instead, I'm watching SYTYCD on Utube.

Instead, hubby is watching Transformers downstairs.

Memang tak serik la dua2 orang tua ni!!!

Typical Monday

Today is Dina's 6th Birthday. Which we celebrated yesterday during my brother's doa selamat event at his apartment. It was a joyous event, marked with good food and great company. My SIL's family also were there, complete with all the nieces and nephews so the girls had a great time playing together. I'll post up more about the occasion in another entry, complete with pictures (Dina's Birthday Note!).

Today I'm fasting again. This time to replace the days I couldn't fast during Ramadhan. I don't know if it's the fasting or the fact I woke up early for sahur and to bake En Rashid's bread pudding, but my mind was not where it should be this morning. I had already reached the office when my maid called; I had taken the 3rd set of keys with me, thus they had no keys to open the door for Dania and Dian when they come back from school.

Shhhiiiittttt!!!!!

Good thing I hadn't paid for parking yet. I called up my boss and explained the situation. Thank god she was understanding and let me work from the office near my home. I made a u-turn then drove back home to pass the keys to my maid.

Part of me just wanted to break fast and maybe gain some energy. But I know it wasn't the fasting that made me forgetful. It's just the fact that I'm getting OLD!!

Muahahahaha...(gelak sedapkan hati sendiri).

Random Updates

Since I am overloaded with assignments, I can only afford to spend a few minutes jotting down some random updates.

1. My division won best performance during our department's Hari Raya celebration. Muahahaha. Despite having to do last minute rehearsals (like 1/2 hour before we were due to go up on stage), we made up for our lack of singing talent (ehem) by acting like 5 year olds on stage, dancing like spastic octopuses. But it was fun...plus the audience got to have a good laugh at our expense. Janji menang!!

2. I'm selling off my Proton Wira (finally!). Anyone's who interested please give me a shoutout. What I can say about my car (beloved) is that the body is not tip top (I'll give 7/10) but the engine and performance is A-Okay. We've never had a major problems with the car, no problems with the windscreens or aircon (common Proton problems). Truth be told, I'm a bit reluctant to sell of the car since it was my very first big purchase when I started work. Plus it's still in very good condition, dents and all. However, it doesn't make sense for us to have THREE cars at home. Duit banyak nak pakai ke tempat lain.

3. En Rashid and the girls came home from Melaka around 9.30pm tonight. Wati (my maid) was beside herself, waiting for the girls. Specifically Syazmin. She kept looking at the clock, counting down the seconds until the girls would be home. Aku pun tak parah menunggu bebudak tu macam tu. Muahahahha..

4. I finished my puasa enam this year. Yeah me!! I decided I didn't want to take chances like last year and fasted on Thursday eventhough that was the day we had our department celebration. Since I was fasting, I volunteered to handle the stall. We had satay at our stall, which of course was the most popular item there. I would like to think it was because of Moi that people were lined up faithfully. Muahahaha...kes perasan lagi!

Random

OK, enough about the cat lover. Here's random facts about what's going on at Casa Along.

1. Dania is having her exams this week and she only told me yesterday. She called me up at work for me to wish her luck. Her exact words were "Ibu, wish me luck. I have exams today but don't worry, I already read my books last night....when you were at school." Note, the last part of her sentence got me.

2. Dina is going to be 6 next week. My brother is going to have a makan2 session on Sunday (which my MOM told me about..and invited me to. Tuan rumah tak ajak pun...but who cares..:P) so I may crash the party with a birthday cake for her.

3. I got really good marks for my Econs paper!! Yeah!! I was a bit peeved that I lost marks for not understanding correctly the question but all in all, over 20, 18.7 is not bad. Not bad at all!! I just hope I can continue to pull in good marks for this class. My group presentation is due next Monday (to which the cat lover is also in my group) so this weekend will be used to complete that and the many other assignments pending.

4. Hubby and the girls may be going back to Melaka Friay night for hubby's cousin's wedding. Which means I'll be home alone again this weekend. But only until Saturday night since the makan2 session is on Sunday.

5. I may use the time alone to go visit my dear friend Noresh, who gave birth to a new baby boy 3 weeks back. I still have her Spanx she ordered. Heee...jangan marah ah Noresh. Anything, I'll call you.

6. I can't believe my 1st trimester is almost over. Only 2-3 more classes, then the Finals. Wow.

7. I'm on my 5th day of puasa enam. Hopefully I can complete before Syawal ends.

8. I need to wax my legs. Like seriously.

Freak out!!

I'm freaking out over my Accounts mid term tonight. I have to leave in 30 minutes and break fast at the Uni since the exams start at 8pm. En Rashid has a breaking fast session with his vendors so the girls will have to keep each other company during breaking fast.

I cooked a simple meal (read: everything fried). Since it's only the girls and Wati (my maid), we recycled some dishes from yesterday and I added some mushrooms as vegetables.

I've been reading accounts since morning and the only thing I can remember is REVALUATION. What it is, how to calculate, where to apply, I have no idea.

I'm screwed!!

Thank god the mid term is only 20% of our final grade. I think.

Anyhow, wish me luck. I'll be needing it, that's for sure.
