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 there and I was hugged and kissed…. Hehe (at one point, I felt like a celebrity pulak!)

I bet that was the last birthday celebration for this year… ok, let’s track back the celebrations that I had for my 34th birthday this year:

  1. Lunch with Angels on 3rd March 2006 at Penang Village, TTDI;
  2. Dinner with hubby and children on 18th March 2006 at Bandung;
  3. Lunch with my long-time friend, Julie, at Italiannies on 23rd March 2006. Julie was my roommate when we were in college and now we’re working in the same company…. And soon we’ll be reporting to the same boss… (and able to share the same gossips… hehehe)
    How wonderful life is?
  4. Lunch with my children, my mom and my brother’s family on the BIRTH-day itself at Penang Village, TTDI (again!) – I so love the butter prawn, TQ to Leilanie for introducing this restaurant to me;
  5. And yesterday, another celebration - the birthday bash planned by my colleagues.

I told I’m blessed to have all of you as my friends, didn’t I? And yesterday also Nik told me that he's coming back on Friday for 3 days....... I was jumping with joy! I had loads of surprises this month.... and I thanked Him for all the greatest gifts in my life.

Need I say more?

I believe the more we become older, the more we appreciate our life. And while we're appreciating our life, that's when greatest thing happen. And that's how wonderful life can be..

And yes indeed, you are blessed.. Enjoy your weekend..

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).

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.

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
