Remembering 2011 & Welcoming 2012

2011 came and went.... in a split second. I feel like it was only yesterday that I welcomed 2011 and wished 'Happy New Year'…. and suddenly, it is the time of the year again.

I don’t normally set any specific goals because I feel that they create unnecessary stress J (at least to me), but 2011 saw me realized my own potential when I started participating in running events. I never thought that I had that much motivation (and energy) in me but hey… I collected 4 medals in 2011. Well, I missed 2 events because I was sick in Nov and the doctor refused to let me run… huhuhu.

Apart from that, the lil’ company that was set up together with my long time friends, Sha & Ina, Sinfully, kicked off wonderfully with us securing a few seasonal contracts with SOGO and closed a few party plan proposals.

In July 2011, I changed job after spending soooo many weeks thinking about it. I was with SC*** for almost 7 years and I thought it was just about time to move on (actually, money talks..... hahahha). I met a lot of wonderful people and friends in this company and some continue to be part of my life till now.. It was not easy to move on when you literally grew with the Company, so much so, I was crying hysterically (okay…. Makcik selalu ‘over’!) when I sat in front of my CEO on my last day and I kept telling my friends not to say ‘goodbye’ but ‘good luck’. I joined another organization, S*** (also starts with S… hehehhe) in mid July. Yes, it takes a little bit of getting used to but so far, I am doing okay.

Hmm.. and some other things that happened along the way, sweet, sad, bitter, fun… but they were all spices of life and I thank God for this wonderful life that He bestowed upon me and I am grateful for all the people around me.

Let’s hope that 2012 will bring us happiness, ‘hidayah’ and good health, Insyaallah.

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
