Happy New Year!

Phew….. it’s the fourth day of the year already!!! I hope it’s not too late to wish everyone ‘Happy New Year’!!!!!!!

Actually, I was away in Bandung & Jakarta last week…. celebrating my belated anniversary with Nik and also new year. Oh! Yes, I went mad again in Bandung and spent hundreds and thousands of Rupiah (don’t panic…..it’s only a few hundreds if you convert them to RM lah) on clothes and begs. Haaa…. That’s what I call a good trip! We went back to Jakarta with a van full of shopping bags and of course, I was smiling all the way…..hehehe

Anyway, now I’m back in KL. This week is rather hectic. Naqeeb started his first day of pre-school in CEC yesterday and Nasreen is now in Year 3 (she’s no longer a baby anymore!).

So there I was, alone, running around in between schools… queuing to pay for their registration fees…. buying their books…. and did some last minute ‘back-to-school’ shopping….. (plus Naqeeb demanded an ice cream treat for being a good boy in school, hmmmmm……..kids can be very demanding sometimes!). Therefore, by 3pm, I was already drained and exhausted and I couldn’t walk anymore. I went back and hopped on the sofa and fell asleep…..zzzzzzz.

Enough said.... I’m back in the office this afternoon and have tons of assignments waiting for me (plus I need to update my other blog, Life is Beautiful, which was set up together with Leilanie – the sifu – and Ina. I’m beyond my deadline now and I hope that the chief editor will not punish me for my late submission….. heheheh. Anyway, the blog is still ‘under construction’ but you can always drop by to check the status.. I’m sure you’ll find some interesting stuff there once it’s completed).

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!!!!!!!

To Be or Not To Be

Deadlines were over…. Yesterday was my last day here…. And today marks a whole new beginning of my career life here….. I could be wrong or I could be right for making this decision… but I’ve made up my mind to take up the challenges, nonetheless. I know I’m subjecting myself to a lot of hardwork as well as criticism, scrutiny and observation from the rest……. and time definitely has to be compromised. But being a risk taker…. I am, I know I just have to pull myself together and face the obstacles - one at a time. It’s too late to undo things anyway and the best thing to do is to be positive. Both legs are in and it’s time to march towards the horizon with pride and dignity. Only time can answer the doubts that I have in me now… meanwhile, I need all the luck that I can have.

It was Nik's Birthday

It was my husband’s birthday yesterday and we took the day off to ‘merewang’ while feeling young, kononnya. The theme of the celebration? Reminiscing the days when we were courting back in 1993 minus the snow.... ancient sungguh rasanya! We had our breakfast at O’Brien’s early in the morning and took a slow stroll along the shops in OU and enjoyed every minute of it (at 10am in the morning, mind you, and the shops were barely opened). Later we watched ‘Lake House’ and we were charged RM12 only for 2 tickets (the early bird tickets were so damn cheap, I almost fainted!). There were only a few couples inside and we took the opportunity to sit right at the middle (ikut suka hati), since the theater was quite empty. How was the movie? Hmm… ok la, I would say it was the right movie for the occasion… hehe. A bit slow though, biasa la, romantic piece. The ending part was quite ‘touchy’ and yes, Mr Reeves was so stunningly handsome (oh yes, nampak tua sikit la and still got the looks).

Antara Anyir & Jakarta

I’ve been making regular monthly trips to KLIA since my husband was posted to Jakarta last year. And yesterday….. again, I made my ‘latest trip’ there to send him off (after the recent trip that I had on 3/3/06 when I picked him up from KLIA to spend his 10 solid-days holiday with me and the kids here in KL). Time sure flew fast when you wished for the earth to stop and let you enjoy your 10 days just a little bit longer. Nevertheless, the ‘most awaited 10-days’ was over…..Nik is now back in Jakarta and I’m now back in my office, sitting in my chair, swiveling around every 10 minutes, gazing lazily at the workload dumped on my desk and trying very hard to find every energy stored in my body just to touch those piles of paper…. argh! But the 10-days period was spent joyfully. We took the weekend off last week for a quickie getaway at Cyberview Lodge Resort & Spa…. and oh boy! the resort is spectacular and the view is breathtakingly-beautiful. Of course, the children were the happies
