I dont like the new FB format.
It didnt keep me posted on friends' updates like it used to.
So many things shunned me...like i only realise that an ex-colleague had deleted me from her list.
both me and A....her former friends @ work. we cant find the reason for her action....well, be it.

received a shocking news that a colleague from the other centre was terminated.
im saddened to learn of her desperation. its sad she had to sought this way.
i really hope she can handle the situation well..what with her troubled domestic affairs.

completed 2 internal audits..leaving one for the coming Monday.
Deadlines was met on time...im glad.

I passed the dreaded econs paper...im surprised but deligted.
did quite well for the company law, scored high distinction.
2 more modules in April. 2nd year semester to commerce in May09.

Will not be jogging this Sat. Ezzaty will be perfoming...im giving her my moral support.
she'll be the narrator for the puppet show...im thrill to watch it.

Many friends @ work would critise me if I were to update my status in FB as " bla bla is feeling less tenseful w/o boss and colleague around". So I kept mum about me being alone in the office instead highlighting to the world across that Im " trying my best to meet the dateline earlier than scheduled" which I honestly trying..oh well, multi-tasking as usual as well here.

The aches from the race are slowly going away not w/o consulting the doctor. I was given a day mc with another one KIV in case im not getting better. Im getting weaker, easily get tired...i guess I have to take things easy.

Im enjoying the 3 weeks long break from studies. Time are spent with the family more than for myself these days. I seldom watch TV, read books or even magazines which used to be my favourite pastimes. Other than logging into the lappie to update FB or Blogspot, time seems to pass so fast that after a while, its time to sleep for a new day.

I was quite mad to find out that the previous learning centre which i took the FM diploma offers a similar degree course. If it had came out with this new programme earlier, I would not have switch to the current centre and save $4K altogether! On a better note, I am quite doubtful about the awarding Uni..never heard of it before though it's from Australia and the modules are the same except that it does not offer minor, only major.

Oh yes, our Vios had an interior facelift. I ordered coverseats online and 4 days later, L came down to deliver and install....

Now looking into accessories...too bad the coverseats didnt come with the matching seatbelts pads, wheel cover and neckrest...

here's the new look..

14/03/09- We Won
Its amazing how we could have won the A-m-a-z-i-n-g R.a.c.e yesterday.
Being the indoor type, I participated because I had to and not so much to win but one thing for sure I have to try my best.
In fact everyone in the team was surprised to be the first to reach the last station. Good work!! Hard work came in with very hard pains and aches all over. urghhh.....

Its been more than a week...hmmm...hello!

Im still in the office, multi-tasking obviously.
Boss will be on long leave next week, so she wants some of the stuff to be done earlier - much earlier than scheduled...
shall not complain...HAVE to see it in the positive way....
i'll just need to switch certain tasks.....executing the important ones first.

Its been a week since the day i could drive legally.
On Sat I drove from Tampines to home after the tahlil and on Sun drove from home to woodlands and back....both with Eddris next to me..so far so good, the only setback is and still I HATE to change lane and please fellow motorists
"Cant u see my P plate?"..Be patient and stop horning...aiyah!!"

Mak still does not allow me to drive without supervision..at least for these few months.

In a week, I didnt expect lots of things to happen, what more the bad ones.

On 27/2/09, I started on the Econs tutorial only to find the lecturer sucked big time. I endured 14 hours of lecture, only to be disappointed by the minutes of his nonsensical preaches. Nothing valuable got into my head, what a waste of time!!
I dont feel good about this paper unlike the previous 4 -I could hardly know how and where to start to study!

Celebrated Najmi's 3rd bithday on 28/02/09. Had ordered a 1kg Laugh A Lot Carebear cake, bought pizzas and some snacks for the family mini celebration. I have not bought him yet what I thought I would....this weeked maybe, sorry dear, Ibu is so busy, hope u dont mind the belated gift. Somehow he received gifts from Nenek, Ummi, Ayi & bibik with that kinda of expression "uhh...ohh...thank you" no surprise look either....kids will always be kids...too young to understand the meaning of appreciation.

Come to the saddest news...on 27 Feb, I decided to apply for urgent leave to visit a very ill aunt in CGH. I thought why dont i visited her now, instead of Sunday, I dont feel like working since all the urgency @ work had been resolved. Told Mak that I could not wait till Sunday to see this aunt, she's been in the hospital for almost 2 weeks, why wait any longer. I was so relieved to see her so cheerful and healthy, she didnt look at all like what i heard from others. Deep inside, I was so glad that she was all so well despite the complications she had faced earlier, better still she was waiting for the children to pick her up. she was officially discharged on 27/02/09 after on antibiotic drip for a week.

You could sensed her high spirit as she went around the ward, saying her goodbye to her other mates, consoling them that soon it'll be their turns.

While waiting for my cousin from the pharmacy, I took the chance to give her some token, after much hesitation, she finally accepted it (very rare, often she'll reject) and was asking me if there was anything that I would like her to pray for. Told her she already did for me for so many occasions and even told her that I passed my TP. (she was the one who always pressured me to take up driving)

Told me jokingly, since I had passed, then its time for her to buy a Mercedez for me, reminded her to think twice of what she wished for cos I might want her to do just that. She smiled sheepishly and then looked down as if in her deepest thought. She was not interested either on what shoes to choose when my cousin was eagerly looking out one for her. Her mind was still on her daughter in law, she was deeply hurt by her actions. She was full of worries. As we departed, Im not sure what came over me, i kissed her hand but something was stopping me from hugging her, as if I will GET to do that some other time......

Eversince that day, there will be no other time.
I was glad to follow my heart not to wait for sunday....
On 1st March, while I was in class, cousin N called to inform she had left us all.
In moment of disbelief, I left class immediately.

She was admitted to A & E after emergency aids from the paramadic failed.
A post mortem autopsy was scheduled since her departure was a sudden one and the cause of her death had no relation to what she had been diagnosed. It shocked us all terribly.

And I was so mad that I had followed what my heart said that I cant describe how remorseful I was...
I will never see and hug her alive again.

This is the 2nd time. 1st time I failed to visit my first aunt when she was dying and now, I didnt manage to hug my 2nd aunt when she was there alive infront of me simply i THOUGHT i'll see her again :(

I gave my last respect yesterday for the burial ceremony...I've decided not to kiss her for the last time cos I was so painfully sad not doing so when I saw her 2 days ago. I hate myself for that!! Im living life full of regrets now.

She will always stay in our hearts as someone so cheerful, happy and strong-willed.
Mak had lost her soulmate, the one she confided in.

Her nephews and nieces had lost a great aunt with the biggest and warmest heart.

I lost both an aunt and a mom altogether.
Seriously, though I was hurt by her actions sometimes ago, I know it was of no fault of hers. She was a victim of the circumstances then. I had forgiven her long time ago though I may not had said it out right.

Rest in Peace Obek.
May your soul be placed amongst the righteous.
May Allah bless you. Ameen.
