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)

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
