Life’s been busy and I find less and less time available for blogging. I’m temporarily assigned to another subsidiary company to look into some compliance issues. Therefore, documents are piling up my desk and emails are flowing in my Inbox like…. no mercy!
I’m supposed to complete this task by 12th December (that is 2 weeks from now)… the problem here is…. How can I!!!???? I’ll be on leave from 2nd December to 11th December… that means I only have now until Thursday (1st December) - F.O.U.R days, I kid you not! - to complete them…… hoollyyy ssmmokkee!!! OK… this should be my last post for this week before I’m off for a 10-day-long leave.
How was your weekend?
Mine? As usual…. Saturday morning, I was busy putting some final touch on my Lemon Cheesecake, ordered by a friend of mine for her husband’s birthday. After that, I went out to do some banking chores…. and managed to open up a savings account with HSBC bank in USJ. I will give the ATM card to Nik so that he can withdraw money from Jakarta without having to pay any fees (like what Maybank is practicing).
Then I took the kids to Canai & Such for some good roti canai breakfast (they just love roti canai) and later we went to Sunway Pyramid to buy some stuff. We had lunch at The Chicken Rice Shop, where I lost my 20 bucks! Well, I have a habit of not keeping my cash inside my purse. Sometimes I just tucked them inside my jean’s pocket, sometimes slipped them in one of the compartments inside my handbag, and most of the time I hold the money in my hand, walked out of the shop and later I found out that I’ve lost the cash! I put them everywhere but not inside the purse….Nik always ‘lectures’ me on this but somehow it has become like a habit…. I must say it’s a one hard habit to break, hehehe… apart from being a careless and clumsy (sometimes), I’m also forgetful. So, this habit of mine sometimes makes things more complicated!
Saturday evening, we went to see ‘Puntianak Harum Sundal Malam 2’ with my sister-in-law and her kids. I closed my eyes more than the children did… hehehe… I have never liked any horror movies, anyway, but the children (my kids and my nieces) are so keen to watch this movie. So that night, we slept with the bedroom lights on (hahahah!!!).
Sunday was quite busy too. I woke up very early because had a huge Hari Raya order from my customer, and I finished cooking around noon. Didn’t do much yesterday, plus, the weather was cold and cozy so we decided to lay back and watched TV. Naqeeb asked me to help him with his remote control car….. and I went, OOhh noooo!!!!!!!! Nik knows that I HATE things that come with Instruction Manuals…. Most of the time (or every-time) it was Nik who always took the trouble reading all those manuals, be it manuals for toys, or any electronic gadgets…. basically everything. So yesterday, Naqeeb’s request put me in a state of numbness for a while. I panicked….. just look at the picture…...
The manual is 2 pages long, okay! And I thought...'Wish Nik is here to read it!' …. Hehehe
Why do toys for boys have to be this complicated?
Just look at the toys for girls….. it’s so simple… no manuals, no nothing. Let them out of the box and there you go…. You are all set for some fun!!!!
However, with the help from my 2 genius-wonderful children, I managed to put the toys together. Come to think of it…. these kids think and act very much like the father… Naqeeb likes to play toys that allow him to think and try, like LEGO-kind-of toys. He likes to build and put things together. Nasreen likes jigsaw puzzle and Scrabble…..hmmm, will they grow up to be engineers just like the father? Only time will tell……
I had a great weekend……… looking forward to the next weekend!!!!!!! Feel like pushing the ‘fast-forward’ button… hehehe…
Have a good week ahead and happy working !!!!!!

cuti ke mana sampai 10 hari?
syok ye....
P/s : I watch PHSM1 for the sake of Maya Karin. I simply adore her. (I first saw her performing live during a play, where she also sang). She's better doing theatres than movies. I've not had a chance to watch PHSM2, though.
Going to see Nik, and probably go to Bandung (if time permits). Any clues on where to go and what to eat?
I prefer PHSM1... lagi seram to me. But try and watch the 2nd part.... maybe u have different views.
Have a good trip to Jakarta.. Have fun!
