I need T.I.M.E

I’ve wanted to write and update my blog for a long long time, but time has never been very kind to me. I always feel like a day consists of less than 24 hours and the official working hours everyday is only 4 hours. Sigh!

Anyway, my last get-together with the wonderful-superb-unbelievable-Angels happened like 3 weeks ago and I took ages to blog about it….. finally, I decided not to elaborate so much about the meeting as the rest had already wrote about it & it’s too late for me to say anything now (it’s no longer hot from the oven lah). But I won’t disappoint you…. Check out the different versions of the tales by:

Leilanie
Kimi
Dee
Ina

It was my first encounter with Kimi and Dee and trust me, they made you feel “at home”…. Hehehe. We talked and laughed like we’ve been friends for so long. They are truly fantastic supermoms (yes, that includes you guys, too, Leilanie & Ina!) And when moms get together, “maid” issues are da-main-topic.

Talking about maid, so far I’ve managed to survive without the help of a maid. I’ll be up at 5am everyday to prepare breakfast for the children and pack some food for them to bring to schools. At 6am I’ll be busy ‘fixing’ my own self… around 7 to 7.15 am I’ll be in my car and at 8am I’ll be in my office already. At 7 – 7.30pm, I’ll leave my office and reach home around 8 – 8.30pm. Sometimes I’ll cook simple meals and by 10pm, the kids are already in bed. Lately, I have been staying up late until 12-1am to finish my work and the circle continues, day in day out. What a hectic life I’m having. I bet even Superman is not willing to change place with me….

Yesterday I went to see our family doctor and I was referred to a specialist to check on my back bone, which is hurting lately. So tomorrow is the appointment … as much as I hate doctors and the likes (and the needles, the blood, the smell of hospital, the uniforms…. huaargghh), I know I have to do this just to make sure that it’s nothing serious.

Can I fast forward now and then skip tomorrow?

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
