Rain & KL....

It was almost 9pm when we finally reached our destination last night….. which is….HOME!

Yup…. Yesterday, it rained cats n dogs here in Damansara. And yesterday also, as Nik is in town this week, we shared one car, and left the other one at home because we haven’t repair the windscreen yet. Did I tell you that somebody broke the windscreen of our car and took our SmartTag away? And all these happened right in front of our house…! They really have guts eh, thieves nowadays! Under the normal circumstances, I will drop him off at the Bangsar LRT station and he will take the LRT straight down to KLCC (he shudders at the idea of driving a car to KL). However, the exit to Damansara from NKVE was so jammed up so we had to exit at Jalan Duta, and as we were already late, so he had to send me to my office and take the car with him.

So, in the evening, I finished off my work early and waited for him to pick me up …..…

5.45pm – he called me to inform that he was rapping up his meeting and would be on his way soon.

6.00pm – the rain was so heavy and he couldn’t walk to the parking lot. OK, had to wait for a while for the rain to stop (which I doubt would be that soon).

6.30pm – he finally managed to get in the car, driving out from Jalan Pinang. Fair enough. Maybe I could finish some more work while waiting…..

7.20pm – he was still in Jalan Ampang… and I was like..Haaaahhhhhh????? He said the car wasn’t moving an inch! My my my ….. why did I ask him to drive lah today???? I was already restless… can’t do my work either. You know how I hate waiting….

7.45pm – he was in Jalan Sultan Ismail….okay, a little bit of progress there… good, good!

8.10pm – almost there….almost there…

8.20pm – finally! I packed my things and looked around….wahhhh! nobody in the office lah! I was all alone. Lucky nothing happened (but, what could’ve happened? …hehehe, me & my imaginary mind!)

So we reached home around 9pm…and my husband swore that he will never, ever, drive to KL again during rush hour…!!!! Hehehhe… poor his tired legs!

Since he promised to spend as much time possible with the kids this week, we decided to take them out for an ice cream treat in SP…and yes, their Mommy dearest was the happiest person of course!

Hi Lanie,

Hope u're feeling better now.

Gone were my days of having to swim thru the deep traffic in KL (5 years wwoooo)... thank God that I'm now so much closer to NKVE entry point.

We don't need that kind of stress lah at our age, eh..

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
we don't........

With all the stress we get from "all the other stuff" (which are beyond our control), we could at least, try to control this and get it out of the way.

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
