Good Bye 2007

... you'll be remembered as one of the most fruitful year.
 Alhamdulillah. I'm all eager for a brand new year!
Semangat baru.. Azam baru...

Welcome prospect!!

Cheers!

A lil' update ,

- Im working elsewhere for 7 months already
- i have got my 1st bonus from this company, 2nd bonus for this year, and it's 3 months!
- i have got a memo from HR saying that my salary will be increased for another couple of hundreds, and that'd be a 2nd increment also for this year..
- im blessed and thankful!

... and the icing of my cake was when my lil' arissa drew her first apple and banana last nite! Sure will post the pic once i got it snapped.

Cheers everybody, have a good year a head!!

H2O

Owh..i so need a space for my self..

please.. all i want is to spend a day "uninterrupted" with my girl..

to carefully listen to what she is saying...

to cater to all her needs...

i know you people do love her, but please...

almost there

oh ya.. semalam was a succesful day for me..
puasa OK, terawih OK walaupun buat solo kat umah je...
tp dugaan berat jugak.. sebab at times sujud sampai 10mins or so sebab ada orang panjat belakang bontot.. bleh?? she was sembahyang with me.. mula2 ok la.. pastu bila dah lama sangat dia mula la boring...
Masa berdoa she turned to me and wave her pointing finger and shake her head "mummy tanak nangis ye??" .... and i was like "adik... i kissed her + dah nangis la.. "

dan this morning, sempat bangun sahur..yayy!! ica ikut bangun.. aku panaskan lauk je etc.. daddy takmo makan pun... so it was the two of us.. wahh.. cik kak ni pagi2 macam kelaparan je.. pastu siap demand nak air teh lagi...

ramadhan

ramadhan datang lagi...
smlm dah missed terawih.. pagi tadi miss sahur.. aduii..
hopefully mlm ni dapat solat terawih..

this yr is my 3rd ramadhan with arissa... mesti seronok nak merayap ke pasar juadah dgn dia.. last year she did not enjoy it... panas kot..
i told her last nite pasal puasa... "tak boleh makan, tak boleh minum, tak boleh nenen, tak boleh susu..." dan tanya dia.."adik nak puasa tak??"
sambil senyum kambing dia cakap "tanak puace.." rasanya dia dah faham kot literally apa makna puasa tu.. sbb byk kali tanya dan sungguh2 dia cakap taknak puasa, nanti adik sakit perut...

at the moment, teringat dekat mak & ayah di kampung... sedih pulak mengingatkan berpuasa dan berbuka berdua macam tu.. usually mak & ayah akan berbuka dan terus ke masjid untuk bersolat.. lepas terawih baru balik...
malam tidur.. bangun pagi sahur dan ke masjid utk solat subuh...

ya Allah.. panjangkanlah umur kedua ibu bapa ku ya Allah... insyaallah in 2-3 years ni aku nak balik kampung.. for mak & ayah.. and for a healthier environment for arissa to grow.. insyaallah

Q & A

We celebrated Arissa's 3rd birthday yesterday.

No fancy celebration. Its Ramadhan.

Nevertheless, she had all her request fulfilled.

The super cute pink/purplish bicyle, Creamy Cake with Mr Mickey on it,

and its matching serving plates and the party hat.

She blow the 3 tiny candles with her proud mummy by her side,

and sorrounded by all her favourite peeps - Mama, Atuk, Owa & Cik Din, Aunty Lin, Uda & Aunty Marsha.

I somehow could not believe that she is already 3.

How time flies.

I still remember each and every moment of giving birth to her.

The pain, the labour room, everything.

And i definately wont forget how she looked that morning of Sept 11, 2008 when i whispered

to hear ears "happy birthday sha...."

she smiled. The sweatest smile ever.

lega..

Finally.... i have tendered my resignation letter...
this is not actually the 1st one.. i have tendered twice before.. but both retracted.. taknak ingat la those ugly days....

i'm soooooooooooooooooooo glad that i finally got to leave... for god's sake la.. i wont retract this time... biar la dorang nak counter gaji double ke, triple... i wont ok!!
i made my biggest mistake in 2005 when i retracted my resignation letter.. and let go EPF's offer.. bodo betuul aku.. and i have learnt my lesson..

"MONEY CAN'T BUY HAPPINES!!!"

Sampai sekarang aku still menyesal tak join balik EPF... i had great friends there.. memang best sgt... i worked there for 2 solid years.. masa tu on contractual employment.. pastu aku saja2 je resigned sbb dapat better offer... lagipun memang dah plan nak join sana balik once JPA approved permament post.

Luckily this time around... i managed to secure a place in another statutory body.. in one of the "Suruhanjaya".. . yang bestnya... gaji dia banyak wei!!!
heheheheh.. gaji dia kurang sikit from what im getting here.. tu pun sbb masa apply (way back in december) aku belum dapat increment for 2006, so aku mintak gaji sama je cam what i was getting at that time... ye la.. since im desperately wanted to leave.. aku tak berani la nak demand.. tambah pulak dgn GLC mcam ni.. mana nakleh demand gaji cam swasta kan...
ni pun im surprise that they can offer me this much... masa EPF offer dulu pun gaji dia like RM1k lesser.. tu yang make me think twice masa tu... yang paling aku suka dia punya perks la.... alhamdulillah... know what... masa dapat je ni aku terus terbayang muka ica... atleast i know one thing for sure.. should anything happen to her again, aku takde la kelam kabut...

well, would be doing something similar with what i have been doing in EPF before ~ prosecution!! oh my.. dah 3 tahun aku tak pegi court to prosecute... but im so excited and really look forward to start...

i supposed to report for duty on 2-7-2007... but i have confirmed my trip to bandung on 07-07-07... + aku kena bagi 2months notice... adeeiii... pening la..
so i quicky wrote to ask for penangguhan sampai 16-7-2007.. atleast aku bleh pi cuti dulu... dan sempat served 1 month notice... next week nak anta plak surat for early release... bertuah la kalau boss aku bagi...
but he has no reason not to give anyway... i have NOTHING DUE..
semalam aku dah pulun update status all files under my portfolio.. ni my secretary tgh busy amend... by today insyaallah semua akan settle...
so next week je i'll be ready for early handover...
eheheheh.. tak sangka im quite efficient eh??

so babai metroplex... hik..hik.. glad gila bleh cakap camtu... oh god (Almighty Allah) im so thankful!

tight

i always wanted to write about whats goin on.. badly..
tapi malas la.... yang amat ok...

Waiting No More

Alhamdulillah....
i finally received the most waited letter..
oh ya... my secret mission is completed... (succesfully)

....

My secretary is on her way to hospital since she was having contractions since this morning...
and im left with loadsssss of files stranded on my table... oh my GOD!!
I really dont know where to start...

ica, mummy wont be able to see you at 6.00 anymore la...

Reason to Smile

i received a letter...
it reads...

a bless in disguise

thou its not a good sign to start a blog with a sad note, but nevermind, i have a happier note at the end.

i was so frustrated last nite when realized that we missed one back pack.. OMG!! masa balik tu we have like 1 very big box, 2 rucksacks, 3 backpacks and 2 traveling bags in cargo and i have my shopping bag and ica's diaper's bag with me on board... so memang kelam kabut..backpack yang tertinggal tu pulak happens tu be beg baju yang dah pakai.. byk gila baju dalam tu, mostly mine and ica's la ..... my undies pon banyak okey!!!!pagi ni call airport they have been passing my call around.. geram betul.. and now im calling the "international lost and found counter".. takde orang jawab pun...

on a happier note plak... pagi ni dapat bonus!!! alhamdulillah.. walaupun ciput but still sape nak bagi kan?? cant wait for tomorrow.. gaji masuk & hopefully ada increment for this year.. amin..

my girly girl

arissa is approaching her 15th months.. alhamdulillah.. she's progressing well.. walaupun kadang2 selalu sgt demam.

At this (arissa) tender age, i myself have to behave... or else she would copy and register it in her memory.. like nowadays.. perkataan "tupid" (for stupid) dah melekat kat mulut coz i do "menstupidkan" orang .... driving in KL sometimes can drive me nuts la.. tu pun OK that it was only stupid yang came out from my mouth.. if i were driving alone.. hmmm.. alll #$%^&*&^%$# words sume keluar...

her mulut cumil also dah pandai membebel dan kengkadang melatah... kalau dia tertekan remote tv ke.. mesti dia cakap " alamak" sambil tangan tutup mulut.. so cute...
skg ni pun dia dah pandai nak bermekap & pakai perfume.... aduh,... pening jugak nak layan anak dara sorang ni.. sometime she would do things that you never expect her to do..

yang bestnya.. pantang nampak my handbag mesti dia cepat2 nak selongkar.. bila dia jumpa my make-up pouch.. mula la dia lari untuk selamatkan diri... ( and the pouch).. pastu dia gi lepak at one corner sambil meng-experiment my make-ups...

lupa

alamak!!

i almost forgot that i have a blog of my own..
seronok pulak dok membaca blog mama irdina & zizie..
been very busy lately that i cant find enuff time to sit and write of whats happening around.

it is sad that my life is soooo limited to work , bizz , arissa and hubby. Thats all. Dah lama tak jumpa kengkawan ... no more late nite the tarik meetings (of course la kan).. rindu nak lepak dengan my abang sheri & (rohi) wan... my bestest buddy since kat itm dulu while abang sheri joined the club masa zaman chambering.

nak buat camana kan... i wanted to spend time with so many people and yet so limited time.. how i wish im not attach to any company.. and working on my own.. bila la boleh nak materialized the dream...
