Kimi.....this one's for you!

Four Jobs I Had In My Life
1. When I came back after my graduation, I worked in PLUS Expressway Bhd from 1995 – 2001, initially managing the Elect. Toll Collection System) and later the operations of OBR. It was my first job and I learned how to fax documents, photocopy papers, print using canggih machines, draft management papers, official letters, internal memos, etc.

2. I was in my late 20s when I joined TTDI Development, heading the Marketing Dept from 2001-2003 and learned a lot of new things, the usual corporate crap - backstabbing, ass-kissing the people on top of you plus having the constant headaches in handling 13 senior staffs aged 40 and above (and thought that younger people shouldn’t be given the roll to head their team…double crap!).

3. I joined NSSB from 2003-2004 and THIS was the biggest mistake I’ve ever made in my life…. I choose not to remember any single details of my experience here, except for the wonderful friendships that I made there.

4. This is the job that I have now in S**** Grp Bhd. I have all the nicest things to say - wonderful friends, friendly working environment, great job, good money, minus the lousy traffic jam that I have to face daily every morning.

Four Movies I Could Watch Over and Over
1. Pretty Woman
2. American Pie movies (all 3 of them!)
3. My Best Friend's Wedding
4. Memoirs of a Geisha (which I’m watching now over and over and over)…so syiok!

Four TV Shows I Love To Watch
I’m not a TV person and I watch TV only once in a while. If I have the chance to watch, I’ll be watching the following (tapi bukan la macam I have to watch them every single week without fail):
1. CSI series
2. Desperate Housewives
3. Friends
4. Scrub

Four Places I've Lived (In no particular order)
1. All over Shah Alam (this has to be on top of my list, lived here ever since I was born, so I am a truly Shah Alam breed….hehe)
2. Iowa City, IA
3. New York City, NY
4. n/a
Hmm…. That’s it. We moved about quite a lot, but all within Shah Alam vicinity, so I have a very short list on this one.

Four Places I've Been on Vacation To (In no particular order):
1. Edinburgh
2. London
3. Melbourne – aiiyyahh, this one is a short shopping trip, not really a vacation lah
4. Bandung

Four Places I'd Rather Be (Like,……right now ke?)
1. Jakarta, with my husband!
2. Home baking cakes for my children (another loyal-satisfied-customers of mine)
3. Snorkeling in Redang Island / Pulau Paya
3. Cruising on the streets of NYC

Four of My Favourite Foods:
1. Sandwiches – toast, open-faced, club, basically any kind, just give it to me & I’ll be happy (Nik doesn’t understand why I like bread so much)
2. Desserts – any kind also: tiramisu, cheesecakes, ice creams @ Swensens, chocolate cake
3. Pasta – again, all kinds in any cooking style: spaghetti, lasagna, macaroni, etc
4. Tempura

Four Websites I Visit Daily:

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).

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.

I am busy, I'm confused!

I have been very quiet this week.. no updates, no hopping around leaving any trail of my existence, probably due to the following reasons: 1. Nasreen will be having her exam next week, so I’m busy reviewing her syllabus (and also nagging to make sure she prepares herself). Yes, instead of her reviewing her books, the responsibility – by default – is shifted to me…. Hmm, mothers nowadays. We feel the pressure more than our kids (and we panic even more while waiting for the results to come out). Hehehe. I can’t remember my mother even touched my textbooks when I was in Primary 3. No wonder we grow old faster these days…. 2. I’m having mood swings this week. One day, I feel elated, then mellow on the next day, moody on the following day. Work is adding on my desk, scope is being expanded, news is floating around and remarks are beings smacked everywhere (manage to steer clear of some and the rest sometimes just landed right on my very lap). Don’t you hate it when you are so positive that
