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

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
