Now I am Finding the Time...

Hey peeps,
Ahhhh...it feels so good to be able to find time to write again. Actually I am still in office and finished my works. And somehow I felt the strong urge to write. Err..le patron, puis-je réclamer des heures supplémentaires ?

And as usual, I have no concrete plan for my writing. It's all jumbled up. Let me think....
1)Moving out and into a new condo...AGAIN!
Oh yes, this is my 4th move since the beginning of my relationship with Superman. My current owner sold his house and gave us ONE month notice to move out. We searched high and low for THE PLACE, and we found it after diligent day and night googling and asking around. Actually this place, called Aman Height, we have already viewed it before we moved into current home. But somehow, we didn't like it last time. God knows what makes us gugugaga this time around. Guess because of the superb facilities with OK price! We got our keys last night and suppose to start packing up tonight. Erkk! Just a gist of what's waiting us;

2)Jalan-jalan Non-Stop
Almost every week, I since March, I was on the road. Be it on personal or work purpose. It was a nice getaway, especially when I can claim every dime spent, but when I get back into the office, the pressure is somewhat the same or more. Enjoy my travel pics and lil explanation I :)

 Vietnam War Museum-Some souls are too devil to be called human.

Look what they did to these innocent men.

                                             Vietnam, Mekong River-with my travel buddies

 On board Sapura 3000 vessel- I hate the way I look! So gemuk and senget.

Singapore, Universal Studios-Where I felt magical and spend till drop

There's few more pictures but I don't have the time to upload now.

3) I never lose a pound and kept adding

Surprised? Not? Yeah me too! Everything doesn't fit properly now. I am already obese. Clap clap clap clap! It's depressing but I guess my desire to eat surpass the desire to get thin.See that face at Universal Studios? Compare it with this 2008 pic.

 Can you still recognize me???

Ahh...talk to you again in next entry. For now, new tasks landed in my inbox. Toodle doo!

Neverending Land

Taking 10 minutes break. It's 7:15pm. Am at office. Superman's outstation. No reason to go back so early. No one to hug and have chocolate shake with. Hrmh..

I have a good news! I have a new cat! Not at my own home though. Besides the fact that my condo is pet free zone, Superman won't allow any fury animals to come into the house. Jeez! When he will ever allow? So, this little kitten named Junior. She reminded me of Oren because she is orange in colour too! Very tiny. But, her eyes is so round and big, like Pussy in the Boots in Shrek movie. Actually my mom found her in front of the house on last Saturday afternoon. We couldn't locate the owner or the mama cat. God sent!! Message to Oren, wherever you are: "Were you the one who dropped us this cute little creature?? I'm missing you so much! I remember you every single day. Sometimes I still cried a little remembering the last days you were in my house. Where are you?"

It is really crazy at work these days. I felt like my tasks were neverending. And although I went back very late daily,seriously,daily, I still could not finish everything. I hate to go back home knowing this and that was not completed. I'll keep thinking about it throught the night. Sometimes, when I'm about to doze off, I remembered something, and the sleepy eyes became wide open. And the next day, new tasks came in like...woosh!!!Pap!Landed in my inbox tut tut tut! Overwhelming! I couldn't remember when was the last time I felt everything was really in order. Somehow, I think this really challenge my planning ability to the max! I took on extra project as the planner, which I love. My highlight of the year. An event which will happen in December. For about 200 people of my project team. Not that I am complaining. But well, I am only a human, with two hands,working 5 days a week, more than 8 hours daily, no assistant/secretary, because I AM a secretary. Got it? What the hell, I planned my own wedding aite?? At least 1200 people attended. But well, pressure is on since this is about W.O.R.K! Lots of people to prove my worth. Ha ha.. *naseb ko la Mariam, siape suruh rajin sangat??*

Okay, ladies and gentleman, back to work!

One Month Milestone

No no no definitely not about pregnancy!

Today marks my first month in this lovely huge office.

I am terribly happy. I got my first salary yesterday. And now, after quite sometime, I could really enjoy what I was paid for as now I only pay quarter of the toll and petrol from what it was since January. Parking allowance is a very welcome joy! I bought two pairs of work shoes at Vincci last night. Nothing fancy. Just to reward myself. Most of this month budget is to buy stuffs for my condo. Turns out we have alot of things but not so much of important and decorative ones.Ikea can you please give awesome discounts just for us??

If only..:D

As Expected

Tuesday, the works are piling up. I hardly can breathe, let alone YM-ing. Luckily there's no access to FB here in the office.. or else, I'll get much more frustrated. Feeling disconnected to the rest of the world already.

But well, this is something expected right from the beginning. And it is way better to come to work with a clear cut purpose than waiting for work to land on your desk unexpectedly. More so yearning for some tasks to be given to you. -reminiscing the old working chapter-

Finally, I had to make an unbecoming decision late afternoon yesterday. After discussing with Azea, who was kind enough to accept Kontawt back into her cosy home so that he can grow healthily with his mom by his side, I sent him at night. With heavy heart, I spent the last moments with him while darling Superman drove. He was screaming again and again the whole journey. But, by the time he stepped inside Azea's house, he went quiete, inspecting the familiar surrounding and running happily to his siblings. Superman was in awe. I on the other hand, stoned up my heart, not letting the emotion came through. I left the newly bought cage with Ofey, Azea's sister, so that I won't be reminded of him so much. Goodbye Kontawt! May the lovely beings around you gives all the warmth and care you need.Sob sob...

Pizza Filled Tummy

My imaginary flat tummy is now bloated with 3 types of pizzas consumed over lunch,

after eating a plate of chicken rice. 

And there's another box. Got it FREE.

Its a bliss+hazard=bliszard?? of my work.

 Leftovers from meeting. We, staffs are well fed. Totally.

I just wish we have gym allowance.

(wah..sudah bagi betis nak peha pulak!)

Wierd, I just can't stop eating.

Exam Fever!!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! I have SPA(Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Awam) exam tomorrow morning. How laaa??? I haven't prepared anything out of laziness and not interested in it at all. I applied before I got my new job. Out of desperation and my family and hubby was so gung ho about working in government agencies. Its all because of the stability and benefits it offers. I am going ,  just so I won't get blacklisted in the future, just in case I suddenly feels like working with the government.

Tomorrow, I have few other things to attend. Promised Hannah to accompany her to buy some fabrics at Jalan Tar. And me, Superman and her are going to the tailor. The next thing will be my friend's birthday at Red Box Pavilion. 80's themed party. Aiyaaa..what should I wear???I think I don't have anything appropriate in my wardrobe. Reason to shop? But ain't got no money! Must buy present also!

Let today be a nice short day. :)

Can't Wait Can't Wait!!

In half hour I'll be having a site meeting. Something I hate to do really. But I ain't say no to amp up my resume. You see, how is it an Executive Secretary is handling a bungalow project management? Outstanding? Yeah. But hell, gotta do lots of convincing every time I go for interview, that I actually have that experience. 

I keep on counting the minutes for the day to end. To kill the time, I watch tvshack.net. Awesome. Like a cinema in your laptop. My brain n heart ain't here with me. Struggling hard to focus. 10 more days to go without the weekends. And next week I'll work less 2 days. I'm going to Penang with Superman. Contemplating whether to really complete the balance of 3 days after that. I don't see the point since I might complete my handover already by then. I'm getting paid by day anyway. Gotta nego with the boss. 10% chance she might let me go earlier. Will she??? Ha ha ha...

Rusty Me

Lately been feeling my slipped disc is coming back again. Maybe because of the fact I sat in the car for quite a long time daily, driving to work. Last Thursday and Friday, I took 2 days MC. Called up my boss to inform. Hoping for her to understand. Instead, I got harsh accusations and threat of legal action if I don't come back to work to perform the balance of  my one month service(13 more days!). Evil boss indeed!

Put that aside..I really miss being active. Most of the things that I love to do is forbidden right now. I love fast paced workouts like kick boxing. I love kicking so much. Ha ha. I'm not a fan of long run or jog. But right now, I would kill to do it, but hoping for zero pain afterwards. Doc advised me to do alot of swimming and yoga. Swimming, yes! Yoga? Oh no! Not really my cup of tea.;p Nowadays anything I do, I mean, not just for exercise, even for daily task, must be very low impact. I'm feeling so Ah So...a.k.a old aunty already!

But I read in an article, when you are having daily pressure from your life or work, your pain will be much more apparent. I couldn't disagree.

SLOW Monday

For the first time, I managed to doze off about an hour after lunchtime at office today.

Pure bliss!

My boss ain't stomping into the office today. She's having bronchitis. Maybe that's the reason I'm feeling this relax. Not purposely. It just crept in without my knowing.;p

Listening to Kris Allen's- Live Like We Are Dying on hitz.fm, I felt a sense of urgency to fill my life with good intentions in everything I do and makes people around me feels proud of my doings instead otherwise. How can a person be so perfect? Can we actually live without negative emotions? And always be so forgiving even if he/she was subjected to terrible wrongdoings by others? I always hear and tried to instill in my life this saying,"To live is to forgive and forget." But somehow it sounds so idealistic. Right? Forgive, maybe. Forget, no way! I know how my brain works. Bad things always get replayed even when I didn't ask for it.

Rough Day...Let the Days Go Faster

I had a rough tele-conversation with my boss just now pertaining my resignation.

Its really sickening when your boss questions you...and makes it sounds like you are stupid, unprofessional and irresponsible. Very harsh accusations indeed.

But she deserves every single word I replied. Don't you ever think that you are a boss, you are surely cleverer than your staff and you can undermine her with your words and money. And yes, if you can't respect people, don't expect to be respected!

Officially, AKU MELUAT!

I Love...Today

I love the traffic to work today 

Coming from Kajang thru Jalan Cheras to Phileo Damansara 1

normal days: almost 2 hrs

today : 25 minutes tops

I love my boss today

She just came back from Kangaroo Land. She's relax and chirpy, and presented all of her staffs with necklaces each. Really nice. In a nice packaging too!

I love working today

I found that I only have one pending task! What?!!!

BLACK OUT!!!!

My avid readers, do you notice the changes I've made to this blog?

Yeah its to commemorate year 2010?No!CNY?No!

Its actually to 'layan' one of my good friend. She said she couldn't open my page. So I changed. I guess she didn't install the plug-ins. That's why. But nvm, dear Liana...this is a tribute to you..clap clap!

But why black themed?

Because I hate 2010 so far. I felt doomed.
But of course, walk your way to the war with style!
:) :S

Its Friday. And I'm having this Compulsory UNPAID Leave 'awarded' by my boss to all her stuffs. Sucks. But its okay. At least I'm having my holiday guilt-free. But close one eye, my salary will be deducted at the end of the month.Erk..Miskin la lagi aku...

Wondering I want to do the rest of the weekend until Tuesday. Any ideas people? Cheap but fantastic ones?

So She's Not Here aaah?

She's not here.
Who?
My dear boss.

Everyone's smiling over heaps of paperwork.
I smiled the widest:)

Its been awhile since I got this feeling of sweet nothing.
Nothing to run for. Nothing to attend. Nothing to sweat. Nobody to answer to.
Yes. Its super sweet.

Everyday is casual day for this week. Everyday we wear t-shirts over jeans at workplace. Cool huh?

Lucky..Luck..Been Awhile

The boss will not be around until after CNY holidays. Its a Chinese owned company. But our boss decided its cool to start work on 17th Feb. Pity my Chinese colleagues. Well I don't mind to start any day. Its not my celebration. But of course, nice. I'm in dire need of a long break.

I love my job and colleague. But I hate the boss. Period. She drove me nuts.

Me n hubby is officially in financial distress after crazy pay cut by his company starting this month. Seriously??? So I'm refraining(real hard) myself from shopping malls and shopping sites. My only solace is the glossy magazines. Mariam, be a good wife..I kept telling myself. But it ain't easy. Not that I can't afford at all, but me shopping as usual while my husband is suffering from reduced salary, ain't pretty thing aite? I hope he get a better job very very soon.

Last 2nd February 2010 was our 3rd year engagement anniversary. Superman darling brought me out for dinner at TGI Fridays in Wangsa Walk. After a RM100 meal filled up my tummy, I drove back home with very heavy eyes. Almost passed up at a traffic light while waiting for the light turn green, when suddenly I heard a deafening honk from a car behind me. I slept like a baby after a reluctant ice cold bath.

On Thursday, my boss decided to splurge on her staffs. We had Yee Sang dinner at Westin Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. I had my first Yee Sang and sharks fin soup.Yee Sang is actually local tradition. It starts right here in Malaysia. Unique ha? Hell they were expensive!! The bill totaled up to whopping RM500++ for 4 person! Thank you dear boss. But isn't it better if you give us RM 100 cash each? Sure it benefits us better :)

Argh...the documents in front of me are screaming for attention. Clever boss. Even you are not here, I still can feel your presence. Ha Ha.

Not Much Words

Pictures day. Ain't saying much!
