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 you’re being used, but your hands are tied, mouth is sealed, just so helpless to do anything because these are the people who sit right on top of you…

3. It’s the first quarter of the month, so deadline….deadline…deadline… (why was I so rajin and put 1st quarter in my action plan, in the first place......... should put 2nd quarter instead!)
Nik is coming back on Friday, so lots of things to do at home… in other words, lots of cleaning to do…. Not that I didn’t do all these while he's away*wink*, but just need a bit of extra polishing (I’m referring to my house, okay!), flowers to buy, burner candles to search (from somewhere inside that scary storeroom filled with boxes), bed sheet to change, plans to follow up, packing to do…..

Wahhh… now that I’ve listed down my responsibilities, it seems that I’ve only completed half of them… huwwaaaa!!!!

And just now, in one of the meetings, the team was discussing about kicking off a project which has been in the pipeline for quite sometime. We were discussing about compliance on some areas…. the labs in West Coast and East Malaysia (okayyy… not too far, still in Malaysia), the mud terminal (hmm… still, can go), the main research centre in Klang Valley (ok, this is not bad also, not at all, in fact!)…….until they mentioned….. the rigsoff shore…. and I went….. whhhhaaattttttt!!!!???????

Haiyoh! Please please please tell me I'm not going there……!!!!!!! (no lah, I don’t think we NEED to go there pun kan? Can do it from here whatttt…..) Alamak… I just told the CEO yesterday that I’m so ever ready to take up any challenges put before me….and today, I regret every single promise that I pledged….. why did I have that conversation yesterday lah!!!!! Me and my big mouth!!!!

Zura,
please help Zetty find a nice, intelligent, humourous, sex crazy, no body adour, respectful, matured, responsible and single brown man;
Zetty is the sweetest, funniest and the most intelligent lady to walk this very earth. I've worked with her for 2 years at DRB-HICOM and I've admired her work ethics and I've always enjoyed our nice witty chats.

(Zetty - OK tak my sales pitch?)

And Zura, have you attacked Carrefour? You know that you've got presents to buy before noon tomorrow, right?
(hee hee)

Zetty & Leilanie,
looks like a very long requirement and also may be difficult to find... especially that 'odorless' part.... hehehe... kat rigs tu takde mini market nak jual deodorant... hehe

And yes Lanie.... sounds very convincing, that sales line of yours. I'll definitely buy it if I'm a guy!
NAH said…
Ina & Leilanie,

Aiyoohhh...so difficult to look for things within that bracket here in Bangsar, so I ended up with something with prices just a little bit off the border....

Very challenging la this one... hope u'll like them (i'm never good in buying presents...especially with certain limits imposed..hehehe)

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.

Angels - Mission Possible...!?

Last week was a week full of excitement for me. One, because I was busy with my work, so the week went by faster than usual…. (meaning: less time spent on ‘termenung’ & missing my husband); Two, my hubby dearest was scheduled to arrive on Friday night (3rd March 2006), the more reason for me be thrilled and eager counting the days; Three, me and the rest of March Angels ( Leilanie & T. Ina ) planned to meet up on Friday (3rd March 2006, also) to celebrate our birthdays and Leilanie had this fantastic idea of challenging ourselves to find gifts for the birthday mommies (and the gifts must cost less than 10 bucks each!) – and Leilanie, I must tell you that this challenge really made me sweat all afternoon on Thursday….. hehehe …and Four, me & my husband (and also the children) planned for a weekend getaway to Cyberview Lodge Resort & Spa on 4th & 5th March 2006. There I said it…..nothing much to say about point One & Two…. but point Three and Four…..definitely!!!
