Time Waits for No One

without me realizing, my last post was in November 2013. and today is March 6, 2014. OMG!

2013 was like.. came and went so fast and it's already 2014 now. what ever happened to Jan-Dec 2013???

last year was a very challenging year for me... my skills & my patience of being a mom for more than 16 years were put to test. i have always thought that raising a daughter will be hard, but what happened proved me wrong. and so i've learned my lesson, though the hard way. but as my friends always put it to me, He will never test you beyond what you can bear. for all it's worth, we all learned from each other's mistake and become better persons, Alhamdulillah.

Naqeeb is in Year 8 now and Nasreen is taking her SPM this year... and Mama fells like walking on thin air. there will be more crazy, suspense-filled moments this year, i can bet my ~~fav-bundt-pan~~ bottom dollar on that! .... any takers, yo?

as for me, 2014 started wonderfully for me.... i've ventured deeper into my hobby/passion at home and at the same time, work has been quite rewarding ... tq Boss! (minus the daily traffic jam, daily commute, office politics, people attitude, yadda, yadda, yadda..)

soon, i will be updating on my latest project... so stay tuned peeps!

These people make me happy

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
