After My Long Silence....

Year 2007 will be a VERY busy year for me. 3 months into 2007 and I have only 4 entries in my blog. If these entries were to be graded, I’m pretty sure I’ll get an F on Blogging Course.

A lot (I really mean A LOT!) of activities have been lined up to be implemented plus the fact that I was forced to take up a-free-no-obligation-MBA-offer by my company. I wonder if my brain cells still work …. perhaps they are now clogged with fat! I left school years and years ago and to be exact, it was almost 12 years ago. Of course along the way, I did attend other classes but all I learned was how to make your cakes look good…… and nothing to do with Accounting, Business, Management, bla, bla, bla….. Well, they told me my class will start in March 07 (not a good month!) and the first 2 courses will be on Finance and Accounting. Yes, what a way to break the ice around my brain ….. I need my Caramel Macchiato now to warm me up! And oh…. Plus the fact that I’ll be missing my first few classes as I’m going on a long leave next week……. Oh this is not good…. Really not good!

Anyway, putting work aside, let me tell you that Naqeeb is now in Year 1. I’ll post his photos at school in my next entry. This means, not just my responsibility at work is getting heavier, my job as a Home-Headmistress is also expanding. I have 2 students to monitor at home and it’s not an easy task. The price that I’m paying is sacrificing my hobby and minute-business – my Bake n’ More. I’ve stopped attending cake classes and I only take orders during weekend. But it’s okay….. I’ll pursue my dream when things have cooled down.

Till then, have a good day & enjoy the coming weekend!

Zura,
MBA will be a breeze.
Believe me.

The fact that you've worked for more than 10 years, that'll give you a head start.

You'll pass with flying colours.

All the best and good luck, dear.

P/S:
Opportunities knock once....
Free MBA all expenses paid for.
wow!

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 ...
Yes, I’ve been blessed with a lot of wonderful people around me….. yes friends, you! Read on…. Yesterday, around 6.15pm, I was in the middle of reviewing something when I was called for a meeting with one of big bosses here…. And I was thinking in anger, ‘Great! It’s 6.30pm and they want to have a meeting. Don’t they have families to run back home to????” So I got up from my chair and ran down to one of the meeting rooms in Level 5. I peeped through the small glass and the room was dark and empty. They were not even they yet! Heck! But when I pushed open the door, suddenly I heard people screaming and laughing and shouting, “Happy Birthday To You!!!!” and everyone was holding a candle in their hand. Gosh! My colleagues planned a Birthday Party for me. No wonder the department was empty when I left and I didn’t even notice. I was speechless! I was asked to blow the candles that they were holding and those on the cake (oh! The cake was so yummylicious!) I was so touched. Everybody was th...

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). ...
