New Year Resolutions!?

As always, I know it’s too late for the wish but I want to do it anyway. To all fellow bloggers & friends, near or far, Happy New Year & let’s embrace 2007 as it comes with the hope that we will have a great year ahead.

Wah, time flies so fast. I was drowning with work and I felt that 2006 came and went with a splash. New year resolution??? Haa…. I have only 2 at the moment (I change resolution every month and by end of the year, I’ll be lost & not knowing which one that I must fulfill). Anyway, my resolution for Jan 2007 was to cut down on my spending (or shopping, rather!). Debt-free, 0-balance credit cards (well, at least 50% reduction, if not 100%) & to chunk in at least 15% of my salary into my Tabung Haji account (monthly without fail)… Only with 1 problem, with the Visit Malaysia Year, I’m sure there’ll be loads of sale going on, how can I be blamed for excessive spending????

BUT….. (notice the capital letters), it’s not even month end yet & I noticed I have the following in my closet:

1. a pair of nice and new walking Nike shoes;
2. a nice shirt to wear to office;
3. a nice jacket that goes with the shirt;
4. 2 pieces of Esprit tops which were on sale;
5. a pair of new sunglass;

And…. I also realized that my facial cleanser is running out (really need to get a new one), there’s a new GUESS handbag which I’m dying to own (if owning a handbag means dying every time, I would’ve been dead gazillion times!), my office shoes are so old, my laptop bag is almost 1 year old that I need a replacement, my eye shadow is almost near extinction….. gosh, the list is growing longer…..

Well, I think I MUST change my resolution then!

Happy New Year guys!!!!!!!

Nah,
handbags, make up, toiletries, gym attire, work heels/pumps/sandals/stilletos, training shoes, shirts, pants, skirts are necessities... so they're not luxury items anymore (no matter how expensive they are LOL).

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
