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.

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). ...
