The chocs and cupcakes for her

Thanks for Zam & Ita.

After some times ....

It's been a long time since the last time I posted the blog. Reasons: busy, busy & busy, even coudn't have time for blogging.
No update means the blog is dead, isn't it? People come and go just to see there were the same old stories. :B

So, here is the wrapped up for the whole unpublished stories (Warning: there might have the story that I forgot to tell. Hence, not all are in here. Anyway, there is some at least :B )

Housewife vs househusband
I would like to give a big clap to Mr Hubby and to grant him an award of THE BEST HOUSEHUSBAND for 2 weeks.

That's because the maid was on leave for a month. We hired mother-in-law for the first two weeks and the last two weeks was supposely the alternate days for me and husband to take turn look after the children. But, it turned out that Mr Hubby had to spend most of the time with them as I coudn't leave my works for so long as all the bosses at the office would miss me very much. Thanks for Mr Hubby who understood and supported me throughout the tough time. Phewitt!

But, it didn't mean I let all the housechores to him. Came week ends, despite the rest days, it was totally tired days. I preferred the week days instead then, so that I could go to office and you know why :B.

Thanks God, the maid managed to come on time and I hope I can manage my time back to normal.

CMMi



Being brief and studied repeatedly for SCAMPI B.



The result just "a litte OK" than SCAMPI C. Huhh! Have to make sure SCAMPI A is tip-top. Preparation? Just follow the flow larrr......

Shopping
So pity! I've not been extremely shopped eversince mom sick. Reason:
i) went back home every weekend (5 weeks in a row) starting 1/5.
ii) "nothing" to buy (ye ke?????)

iii) "short" of money (ni baru betul!)

I just had the chance to go to the nearest shopping mall yesterday and see many new fashions and trends. Oh how I was so left out. It just 2 months, yet there's so many I've been not catched up for shopping things. But the good side is, it taught me to save the money invisibly, but.... in reality the money still decreasing. I wonder how and I wonder why ... :P
I keep on praying for a blue sky, I keep on searching through the rain...

Day dream

3 days ago:
The boss came to my workstation with a smiling face. He asked me to come for a while to his place for a quick discussion. He smiled... I smiled back lorrr. Senyum itu sedekah anyway. Why he didn't bother just to call me from his room? Hummphh.. Hahh, while walking to his room, I whispered slowly to me, "he might tell me the goods news..probably! Salary raise?" *hahhah*

After comfortably sitting in front of his table, he said, "Roy, we just got a new project. We got Tabung Haji project wich cost to $$$$$ and bla bla bla. I need your help for the proposal of the system, the commercial price and the cost margin, bla bla bla". Patut pun senyum. Ada udang di sebalik batu. Okkkkkkkk... and I went back to my place start thinking how to make them raise my salary do the proposal. Roy always has a good dream lately but in fact, the reality is really bites. Yeah, in my dreammmmmmmmmzzzzzzzz

The truth is.....

Definitely, the story didn't end here. It continues, repeats and will never end.

I was "touched" by the numerous questions about my previous entry. Sorry folks, I don't mean to be like a boy and a sheep tale but the intention is there and I'm still arraying the proper words and right step for that One Fine Day.

Mama even asked me to ask myself what is the type of woman I prefer, career woman or to be at home. The answer is both. Huhu! How should I explain?
i) I love my career as I can gain experience and update my knowledge day to day AND the most important thing is I have some $$$$ at the end of the month, that I can fulfill my passion for handbags, shirts, kids' clothes, etc. Oh my!
ii) If I were to be at home, I can focus on my children needs and they should be more managed. But I guarantee, just gimme 2 months at home and I'll surender, phewww! I will choose to work rather than staying at home.

But, IF..THEN..ELSE pseudocode doesn't work, I might jump to step 3... open my own business. Hah, what should I sell? What type of business?........can't announce yet.

Thinking twice, why should I wait for another 3 years to make it equal 10 years being in service here. 10 years... I might have an honor from mgmt. They should give me something in return of my loyalty for 10 years in service. Huh! in my dream. But if it is true...thank you.

Thinking thrice, working more than 5 years here, one would say that I should feel comfortable then. There's some good and bad angles. Lumrah!
Despite the mgmt attitude - let's minus that!-, amongst all, these are the list that might persuade myself:

a) Though there's stated time to start work, hey, there's still a flexible time for me. Maybe for me *wink*.

b) The pantry is just 10 steps forward from my workstation and untie is very kind to do coffee or milo for me even though I don't ask to.

c) Still have time to go back home, lunch date or shopping on Friday break hours.

d) STRATEGIC workplace location. My workstation is to the right of the second office entry and that's only for my pathway. Others have to go to the left. So I hope nobody bother me much. But there's some CNN who like to disturb me come in the wrong time . Sigh!

e) The season parking at office basement (sponsored by the company).

f) My immediate boss is so cool and he look likes my brother. Susah nak dapat boss macam ni rasanya.

Hope the lists are pleased enough to convince me and make me continue my career here until I open my "dream" business! Ya right!!!

Thanks folks for all the supports!

God knows what I did today

The clock showed 3 am. After making sure Little H was sound asleep, I went downstairs to search any cookies or whatever food that could feed my tummy. Of course, some Eid biscuit still on the table. Stirred and sipped some milk to give back the energy. Oh God, it's so sick but I firmed to fast tomorrow. Haven't started my Syawal sunat yet. Went back to bed and only woke up when the sunshine was about to smile at me. Ahh, please, not gonna missed my Fajr prayer. Fortunately, I made it.

Afternoon - Ahh I felt so terrible inside, sakitnya Tuhan yg tahu. I prayed for God to make my way easy and can go through it for the day but ..ahh..aku tewas! WITH MY REALIZATION, I stepped to the pantry and God knows what I did.

Hungry like a wolf

I was “too focusing” on the works today that I don’t realize the time showed 1:30 at noon. Oh no! had passed my lunch time. Where’s everybody? Why they didn’t care to ask me to go out for lunch?! Ohh..I’m the rose among the thorns today! That’s answered!

Hurriedly put all the “valuable” things from my handbag into the drawer. Just grabbed purse and handphone. Go down and walked to SC. Scaled up the stairs, I bumped into ex-officemate on the reverse lane. “Hey Roy, bila nak buat open house” Walking hurriedly and without stopping, I shouted, “tungguuuuuuu, will inform..” (but will I conduct the open house this year maa?). Just words of “persuasion” to him might be. Huhh!

Entering the lobby of SC, huh what is this..Aussino Sale on the go! I was not acknowledged about this. The salesgirl said they have rented the lobby for sale for quite some time and the offer gonna end this 21/10. She said most of the things have been sold. Beautiful things must have been taken then! Aaa..How come I don’t know. Peek, peep, glance..that’s some that I admired. Wait hah, going to 2nd floor first for food. Reaching 2nd floor, ahh just remembered that I brought the purse without money in it. I recalled during distributing the things into the drawer, I put the envelope that contains money into the drawer. I, so, like waggle a stick in the hole, got RM2 and it’s enough for 8 pieces of cokodok and 2 pieces of cucur udang. Huwaa! Such a good lunch isn't it? :(

Run down to Aussino sale, there’s one quilt cover that catched my eyes. Promised to myself to come back this evening to get that. Hoya!
