There's this saying
"Leopard never changes its spots" - I shall dedicate this to my SM. SIGH! will tell u more once im in the mood.

On our meetup yesterday, it was super great, after almost 20 years for both Me & Raz to finally catch up with SU!

3 hours seemed short..especially when we were exchanging unexpected news - both good and bad.

They were amazed that I could recollect so many events, occurences and facts.
hmmm, didnt make much effort to remember, really....it just stayed in my memorybox.

Looking at it, we will be meeting up often. After so many years to finally keep in touch, im not gonna lose this friendship...i just hope we can be BFFs!

Been trying not to complain or else my pahala will all go to her. Tak nak jadi muflis kat akhirat nanti.

Cant wait for this Sunday to meet Su & Raz from Chong Shan Pri.
We have not had such meetup since 1986!! that is a lllllllllloooooooooog time!

Im so glad to have found my old classmates and keeping in touch eversince.

#409 - bake to bond





cant wait to take a bite

I've decided to do the things which both of us enjoyed doing together for our bonding time.
Drop the idea completely for a day out at Down Town East (In fact i did not tell her bout this)
and What better way to spend the long weekend - to bake.

Ezzaty had her hands on the mixing, folding and alittle of baking,..
started with purchasing the ingredients, taught her where, what and how to get them.
Brought her to the store,she helped to look out, reading each label carefully and more eager to dump them in the basket.

Our first baking session was to make cupcakes. (it was my first attempt too)
Turned out great though they were alittle too big...the next time i shall use smaller cups.

2nd was to bake her favourite chocolate chips oats cookies...if only i didnt modify the recipe, it should have turned out so fine. The other time, Mak was complaining that the cookies were abit too sweet, so this time round, i reduce on the sugar portion and add a little bit of salt..well, ugrh saltish!

oh never mind, i thought of baking more for the weeks to come....im sure we gonna have more trial and errors...!

A day spent on the mgt report and i still could not get it done and over with,URH!
Eversince the new system, it has never been easy to draft the financial statement.
I cant even trust the report anymore.

I guess i have to move on answering the queries from the mgrs on Monday. That will have to wait till the audit.
i was assign to conduct internal compliance in one of the childcares, and my partner is our big boss.

I'll be up to my neck till A returns to office. its about time he has a good long rest but its quite untimely.
I believe Allah s.w.t has better plan for me next month, with all the possibilities laid out by SM during my appraisal, I guess its best to ignore them completely.

How could your superior visualise the negativities, shouldnt she be potraying a positive image?

I still could not swallow her words. like, she wouldnt want to hold me back climbing the corporate ladder esplly when the market is so lucrative...what nonsense? what corporate ladder to climb when im hitting the big 4O! im happy enough to be employed...yeah, i may want to have that Bsc but am not that ambitious for a dynamic career...

getting a stable job at my age is a blessing enough...how high can i be? im grateful to be where i am now...and i dont think myself so marketable and highly in demand...im not a banker...

Even my other colleagues think she must be out of her mind...

I would just take it that she has the best interest for me...oh well,..im here to clear the mess, not to uphold justice or whatever.

I prefer the big boss to be my immediate superior but then who could predict anything..he may be worse off than SM huh?

Im not sure if its pure coincidence.
A smsed last night that he had gotten Chicken Pox and so will not be coming.
and the very this morning, SM smsed to inform she's taking a childcare sick leave because her youngest had been having fever for 2 days, worried it may be HFMD.

I mean, yeah, its been 2 days, why now?
when Im shorthanded..

this wasnt the first time.
Just last week, She called the softwarwe engineer, set an appointment date so that both of us could be there to assist in the programming and on that very day, she took urgent leave. and for some reason, the appointment was cancelled and she wasnt happy to learn about it when i called to inform..yadayadyay!

im not in the mood to work, my schedule wasnt as planned..
i'll be multi tasking between 2 tasks for the next 10 days....good luck to me!

Was thinking how to spend the coming holiday and weekends.
Other than having the mother-daughter bonding, which i have no idea where to head to, im very much clueless. ..(downtown east, let me think about it..far leh!)

Eddris will be off tomorrow, i reckon both of us going out to buy foodstuff for the whole family. its better than having our meal outside, with the crowd and all...im craving for satays!

Friday morning, i have a date with Mak to Geylang Serai pasar. R will be visiting us in the afternoon. so i guess we will be spending time at home the whole day...its okay, great company with great ambience, what more to ask for, ha!

Saturday morning, Eddris will be accompaning me for the lessons and then he will be off for work. I think i will be bringing the kids for a short walk....

Sunday?im going for an early jog!...and then chill out at Mc Cafe...hahah!

we will not be going down to JB, for the longest time since the jam still sucks.
I wonder for how long..there goes my monthly shopping...purchasing power over there makes me all excited to spend.....hmmm, that have to wait.

Im still considering the option.

Mak has been asking me to take up the course and acquire the skill, ages ago.
I didnt give it much thought then, not untill 2 weeks ago after watching a documentary.
It struck me that its a lucrative hobby.

Firstly, is to sign up for a class.
Problem is the time schedule - impossible.
I work on alternate saturdays. How to compete in 7 straight weeks.
The weekday class is also out of reach.
Work ends at 6pm, it will be very rush to reach there by 6.30pm...

I cant take one thing at a time.
I cant wait to get this done, then proceed to do that.
I have to do things concurrently.

*updates*
Aqua aerobic starting in April.
Should be able to lose some weight in couple of weeks, hopefully.

Iqra's test is on this coming Monday.
By end of this year, I shall be able to read the Quran with taranum, Insya-Allah.

I hope by June, I will no longer be driven around.
This one, im alittle bit skeptical. Firstly, Im not too keen to drive, its just too bad that getting a licence is no longer an option but was forced to. Or else, our car will be collecting dusts and battery goes flat often. at this rate, we may have to opt for public transportation since Eddris works on 3 rotational shift and he ride to work. sigh!

#404 more pix!

we cared less about the rain, no doubt the cable car was slower but at that speed, we were able to enjoy the view better.
Getting ready for our Luge!
up in the skyride
its landing time..too soon!

On leave today to take the FTT and i passed!

I didnt have much confidence on this test compared to the BTT.
I was all prepared to see FAIL on the screen.
Sweet victory, my 1st attempt.
Alhamdulalilah, syukran to Allah S.w.T.

I pray for my sis that she will pass for her oncoming test in April.

with this, our much anticipated trip to Sentosa was such a treat!
I had pre-arranged for this outing for 2 possibilities.
If i had failed, it will be a consolation, and for passing, its a celebration.

Luge, Skyride and cable car...n the company i was with..
Im sure to come back for more.

Pictures to be uploaded.

Whats wrong with online reservation?
Cant trust correspondence via email.
It seems that i really need to give them a call.
One is keeping mum when requested for extension, the other gave us such a short notice to confirm booking.SIGH.
I have never encountered such problem before.

Alhamdulilah, Allah S.W.T has better plan ahead for me.
I was so reluctant to be part of the team.
Im really not into gatherings and events especially when it means I have to sacrifce my weekly class.
Its only once a week i shall get to remind myself spiritually.
One's Iman fluctuates often, ya see.

Im so glad not to have skipped today's lesson.
I learnt a new Ta'auwuz, beside the norm that we were taught.
This one is really useful.
And I always thought there is only one and only Ta'auwuz.
Priceless.

Its been awhile.
Eversince Najm's birthday, the days passed so fast that I didnt realised its been a week this blog has not been updated.
Anyway, life is routine, been thinking of ways to spend the weekends with my little ones.
Alia bought for me Muslimah swimwear as a belated birthday gift, thanks Sis muack!
I guess its time to dip in...and Im so looking forward to let Najmi play in the pool, im sure in no time he will overcome his fear.
I hope we could be in the water often, it will be great for the kids..in the pool in the morning...

The Aqua aerobic will kick off soon, its the time schedule needs to be compromised. Monday & Thursday are definitely out.
Need to shed some fats..hah! received an email from NH, former PHS, she was wondering whats up with me losing the weight when im already so skinny..OMG, it was decades ago I was skinny, now I AM so Fat...I cant fit in most of my kebayas..that tummy really need a miracle to be as flat as the airport runway!

Im feeling drowsy now, must be the coughing syrup.
My cough was dry..and so hard that i had chestpains.

Its time to rest and recuperate. same 2 u too, Ani!

ta-ta!
