I procrastinated again.
Instead of going to the centre for enrolment, I headed home after meeting S with L
and her galz. The girls bought lots of makeup stuff, I only bought 2 lipsticks. Neutral, almost Nude in colour...cant seem to get the right tone.
Mun suffered indigestion on Saturday. She threw up almost everything she had. Her state was so bad that we could not afford to wait the morning to come to consult a GP. It was 4 in the morning, both me & Edd headed to the Central for the 24hrs clinic but it was no longer operating that hour. Thought of Sembawang but we found one in Chong Pang....just in time. (was told by the locum GP that this is the only clinic in Yishun that offers 24hrs service)
Mun was given a jab to stop that nauseanous and 2 types of medicines.
and I was still in disbelief.....Managed to weigh myself while waiting for the clinic assistant to dispense the medicines ( I didnt manage to do so the first time).
I was 5kg heavier than the usual scale I got from home...!!
something is wrong, is it me or the scale? oh gosh! now im the one feeling like throwing up...i think im gonna dispose that scale machine ..get a new one.
It will be my 3rd.
This weekend,we have 2 wedding invitations to attend. One is my ex-colleague and the other is Mak's former colleagues.
Both are getting sons in laws.
(yeah, my former colleague is that old)

#469 - reminds me of our old place in AMK.
12 years. Life full of ups and downs. It was not easy yet not that hard either.
It was not so comfortable yet not that miserable either.
It was plain simple.
********************************
A fellow colleague from another centre, K called to inform she had received a favourale reply and shall be leaving us in less than a month time. I guess its time of the year when new faces start coming in to fill in the gaps.
K is infact moving on to a much greener pasture.
Im sure she will be happier there...Im happy for her.
Both of us had been ranting over the phone the past weeks, encouraging one another to look into the brighter side of the situtation and shared our common views on the poor management...
Sigh...another kind soul is leaving :-(

Gosh! Enrichment course is so costly.
I've signed up for one time 4 hours session and I have to pay $155.
Equivalent to almost $39 per hour...more expensive than Ezzaty's tuition.
The response is so overwhelming that I have to reseve a place by sending a cheque for a class which will only commerce in August!
I want to acquire the skill.
4 hours seem short to master everything...hmmm, i dont really know what to expect.
But I hope it will lead me to something.....
Will be going for Aqua aerobic later, we are left with 2 more lessons.
Oh, I'll be jogging alone tomorrow. L cant make it.
I hope to watch a movie with Edd this weekend or at least a dinner just the 2 of us.
I dont seem to remember which shift he will be working...so many things on my mind.

I think its time to change my profession.
Im not sure if I had enough of numbers, figures and digits.
But Im sure that my skill is getting from bad to worse.
Imagine, overlooking a simple task like bank recon..yeah, it's this bad.
If you were to tell me what I should be doing best at this age, I would appreciate if its not that home business or multi level marketing. I dont see where the revenue is coming...
I dont mind doing admin but for the many past attempts of applications, I've got rejections merely because I have more accounting experience.
I dont see the logic - its not as if I dont do admin at all. It will be a different thing if I were to be applying for Accounts when all the while I was doing admin. What a crap!

The day has finally came.
Masya' Allah, the place is so far and remote.
I followed what was written on the signboard, it seems as if i was walking down an endless road leading to nowhere!
All went well I supposed....*rolled eyes*
I was not familiar with the place, hardly been in the west, it was my first time.
Had i not been there, I would not have stepped into Muhajirin Mosque to perform solah.
Been passing the mosque since I was young but never had the chance to be in till today.
Alhamdulilah, syukran to Allah S.w.T for the opportunity.
Felt so down, after saying my prayer, I was not really into communicating to tell him what was bothering me.
All I care - if my effort will lead me to something....
I dont see going through all this for nothing, not to pass time, obviously.
HE knows best, shall leave it to HIM, im just being hopeful.
Was so glad that there is a direct bus to home.
I abandoned the thought to have lunch (yeah @ 4pm, I still had nothing since morning).
It felt so weird to be eating out alone..so i headed home, bought pancakes along the way and it felt so good to be home early.
yup! I have cancelled my lesson on Sunday.
I have a date with L. Jalan jalan cari barang....

Ezzaty joined the kids at the centre yesterday for the 'flight' - yes, the S'pore Flyer.
I missed my chance last Saturday for the company's retreat. Just came back from the getaway, I was not that keen and quite unwell. Didnt miss much really, from Ezzaty and some of my colleagues, it was quite slow and b-o-r-i-ng....half an hour sitting in the capsule waiting to make one full round....okay, im being whiny...im not being a wet blanket. try for urself..u may Like it.
On a better note, im looking forward to Wednesday to get it done and over with.
Its been a month..so im quite surprised to have it coming, the excitement almost died down after a long wait.
Another dreadful lesson tomorrow...i dont know what to expect, but i know im expected the best...SIGH!

Im feeling insecure. Each day.
I have no confidence executing the task.
Changes been made every now and then.
Journal entries and reversal are getting norm eversince.
Worst, the one giving instruction is not sure herself.
Im sure someone is getting the blame.
Let's pray it's not me.

When it was A's turn to be appraised, i reminded him to ask on my behalf about the Saturday's duty.
He did and I was called in - yeah!!! as from July, I will be working 5 days a week ( trading in with additional 4 hours on the week I was supposed to work or to reduce my Annual Leave by 5 days)
I chose the first, as it is now, I come to work early and left later, so why not make it official. I dont see the need to sacrifice my leave.
oh well, SM mentioned about me skipping participating the company's events twice....hello! I was certified unfit, what's the fuss!? dont make a mountain out of a mole, dear!
Been contemplating to leave if I was not able to opt for the 5 days work. Was told the working hours here is flexible, so if things are getting rigid for me, I dont see why i should stay.
Yeah, i know im beginning to be a 'grasshopper' job hopping. Ya see, supplementing the household's income should not be a stressful one, I want to be happily employed and enjoy the 8 hours away from home, so I have to work in a 'friendly' environment. so that's explains why i dont mind Not staying in a job if it does not fit my need in one way or another.....
My CV is getting longer with the list of various employments,
Im sure those experiences will come handy someday. No pain no gain.
Other than not having THE confident with the management (have voiced it out with SM), its okay so far here. (its quite an issue, really)
Only time will tell for how long.....for now, just looking forward to every payday :-)

I chose to let it out, instead of acknowleding what had been said.
It was quite demoralizing to be listening to all the craps right in the face.
And even told to buck up.
Waited for her last say before I rebuked.
It was not true that I have been taking longer time to complete the report.
She did not realised that I have been receiving orders from the superior, the one above her. I have been given additional days for months, okay....!
As far as I know, I have been adhering to the dateline...so it was so lame to take the blame for nothing.
so much for working in small office. superiors not communicating and i was getting the crap! It was THE appraisal thingy again...Guess what, I highlighted to her that she's been insensitive and rude at times. well, its an open appraisal afterall....
I was so mad that I had forgotten to ask about the Saturday off....

Yesterday's driving lesson was one of my worst.
(yeah, cant recall how many times I feel like giving up).
If not for Ed paying for the lessons, I would have stopped long time ago.
I hate every one of it, no fun and it is so tiring.
I still prefer to be driven around, which is almost impossible now.
No way to turn back now, I have spent so much time on this, sacrificing my morning Sunday for an early lesson. Sigh sigh sigh... I shall not elaborate the blunders I did, it was just too exhausting as it was.
Move on until the TP, which was less than 2 months...yeah yeah yeah!
Im so bochap, I think on the test day, I will not feel nervous at all but full of anger!
Just pray on that day I will not be a murderer..

#458 - it was over
We were back last night. The jam was manageable Except for one inconsiderate driver, as if you owned the road!
I was supposed to update for Day3 to Day5 but was too occupied. Too exhausted, been going around the whole KL, the first thing reaching our hotel room, it would be sleep and more sleep..yep!
3rd day - Sunway lagoon was a far cry from the last time we went. Improved in many ways but certainly more costly. We were not allowed to bring our own foodstuff, sigh!
We left for Jalan Masjid India after that, looking for decent place to eat.
We spent almost 3 hours at Sunway Lagoon, certainly needed to fill our stomachs.
As much as we loved fast food, I guess we had enough, it was only our 3rd day, we were already looking for plain rice and dishes!
There was a bazaar nearby,(Mun was delighted) I was lucky that the sales girl was nice to me and even offered a tissue paper after i spilled the powder! Offered to pay her but she declined, thanks, so sweet of you.
Jalan Masjid India was surrounded with many shops selling Muslimah outfits and headscarves, yeah, I could not decide which ones. I bought 3 blouses and didn't realize that I had paid more than Mun for the same outfit. So much for the bargaining skill....
We celebrated Ezzatty's 8th birthday with cake from Secret Recipe (just a slice since a whole cake will be too much for all of us here) and pizzas!
On our 4th day, it was sightseeing around the town and neighborhood. Getting lost is no big deal for us, and I'm still not getting better at reading the map. Petaling Street was heaven to those who love to bargain.. Mun & Mak were enjoying themselves getting the right stuff at the right price.
At night, we were packing for our Melaka stopover. Luggages were getting heavier with the soiled laundry and some stuff we purchased. Checking out was a breeze, didn't take us even 5 minutes, I was feeling rather sad leaving the hotel, service was excellent, really made us feel at home. and we were entertained with good shows via their inhouse channels and star movies.
Our last destination was at Mahkota Hotel - I had reserved a unit of the service apartment.
Only for a day, so this will do but for longer stay, i dont think i shall consider staying here again...I'll book for a hotel room instead.
We've been going to the shopping complex opposite, so this time we tried the one further and it was so huge we didn't manage to cover all. Most of the time it was at the Historical Gallery where Me & Mun bought some key chains and souvenirs and Mak bought keropoks and some snacks.
I think for our Raya preparation, I shall shop here instead of JB.
The quality is better and there is more range to choose from - cushions, clothes, homeware, etc.
After breakfast, we left for Ayer Hitam to have our Zuhur and lunch at MarryBrown.
Went into the rural areas to have a look at kampung life before heading to JB for our early dinner and magazines!
It was an enjoyable trip for all of us especially Mak.
I'm sure to plan for a longer stay like this, maybe at other state.
But by the look of it, everyone is not getting enough of KL - me too!

#457 - DAY2
Time definitely moves slower here.
I slept at around 12+, woke at 3 in the morning all fresh as if i had slept for ages.
Cant get back to sleep, it was cold here and found myself watching the star movie channel.
Im not sure the title of this movie but definitely it was worth watching.
I never expected to actually enjoy watching 'ancient' movie. the story plot was way back in the 30's era...such a moving show. a magician found his lost love, reunited in the most unexpected way..im not into romantic movie but yeah, it melted my heart.
We will be going down to Sunway Lagoon later, its been like so long since the last time we've been there. when Ez was only one and now she's 8. oh yes, today is her BIRTHDAY....! Happy birthday dear! No party like the year before, but im sure being here will be much a delight!
We didnt go anywhere last night except to the mall downstair, we were so much worried about Najmi not having the appetite and we were not sure what to feed him. Fortunately our hotel is conveniently located - whipped potato saved the day. Food court and convenient stores were just round the corner, have your pick but then i have to be mindful and wise...im not gonna put on weight! i will still choose a healthy diet....speaking of which, i ate too much junk food the moment we arrived here....ummmh!
My! the things here are quite expensive...dinner alone cost us close to 100 bucks!
im looking forward to have that bargaining power at the pasar malam and im not gonna miss going to Jln Masjid India...!

#456 - reached - DAY1
Ani,
we have safely reached KL @1130hrs. (yeah i know, im crazy about KL)
It wasnt hard finding the hotel, it just that im really bad at reading map!
been going round the same route, what do you know, the hotel was just next to us...
We didnt let the chance to slip...yes A & W! had that chance at Yer Keroh , Melaka.
Didnt get the chance for the past trips, im not gonna let it slip this time.
KFC was already opened but we waited patiently for the outlet to open...exactly 0900.
at last A & W float and cheeseburger....(yeah, i know it was abbit too early to indulge on those cold drinks)
gone were the anxiety to lose weight and being a health conscience freak. it's not easy to have a bite of that much yearned junk food..though the burger tasted slightly different.
Cant seemed to upload photos here though the internet is rather fast....
we are resting first, the 5 hours ride was too much for Mak....she wanted to have a nap and Najmi is really cranky!

Im blogging here, waiting to cool down before having my shower.
I was very early, reached the park @ 7.40pm when L smsed to inform that she would be late and wanted to meet @ 8.30pm instead. Told her to take her time since i was already there, no worry i could utilised the time to warm up with the facilities available. she was worried i will be bored waiting....but nope, i really was enjoying the moment exercising alone...
I had a blast time doing my favourite - swung from side to side...it was fun and rewarding!
I stopped to read the notice that those facilities were actually set up for the S-E-N-I-O-R citizens! kah kah kah!
I find this quite amusing..how about us?
I guess we were supposed to only jog there....
Had 2 laps of run. Wanted to catch a movie, with all the sweats, it will be good to cool down in the aircon watching a show.
BUt the queue was just impossible...and there wasnt any show that I would love to watch...next time maybe, eh.
So we went back to the park to have a drink and chat....like usual!
L called this a weekly social event..for working mums.

Still have not recovered fully.
Headaches come and go.
Was on MC yesterday, I was feeling feverish on Monday after visiting N.
Didnt thought that N was this serious.
I smsed her on Sunday, asking about her well-being and updating her on my latest progress.
She replied to inform that she was at KKH, she was bleeding and I THOUGHT it was a normal discharge. Didnt even cross to inform the rest of the colleagues about her condition - thinking it was just a normal C-Section problem.
In the middle of the night, Kak S called to inform that N was admitted into ICU, her condition was critical....
I was speechless, I should have sensed earlier...what kind of friend am I?
I could not wait till end of the day to visit her, so told SM about N (i know N would not be happy to see her) and told her that I wanted to visit her during lunch time, I asked her to tag along for obvious reason. She could drive us there...
Soon the rest of the staff at other centres knew about it and managed to get one of the principal to join me. It will be awkward to have only me & SM visiting N, ONLY me and her in the car...urgh!...
I was so glad to be the first to have visited her. She was still very weak. She had lost lots of blood and was still recuperating after the blood tranfusion. I know that her mind was elsewhere. She was not really into having any conversation...but at least we were not kept in the dark of what was happpening....slowly but surely she managed to inform us the reason she was being admitted. It must've been hard on her.....
She's been transferred out from ICU and now in the High Depency Unit for further observation, really hope she is getting better, I have not had any latest news.
But staff are taking turn to visit her...and i hope our presence in one way or another will cheer her up.
N, get well soon.
Headaches come and go.
Was on MC yesterday, I was feeling feverish on Monday after visiting N.
Didnt thought that N was this serious.
I smsed her on Sunday, asking about her well-being and updating her on my latest progress.
She replied to inform that she was at KKH, she was bleeding and I THOUGHT it was a normal discharge. Didnt even cross to inform the rest of the colleagues about her condition - thinking it was just a normal C-Section problem.
In the middle of the night, Kak S called to inform that N was admitted into ICU, her condition was critical....
I was speechless, I should have sensed earlier...what kind of friend am I?
I could not wait till end of the day to visit her, so told SM about N (i know N would not be happy to see her) and told her that I wanted to visit her during lunch time, I asked her to tag along for obvious reason. She could drive us there...
Soon the rest of the staff at other centres knew about it and managed to get one of the principal to join me. It will be awkward to have only me & SM visiting N, ONLY me and her in the car...urgh!...
I was so glad to be the first to have visited her. She was still very weak. She had lost lots of blood and was still recuperating after the blood tranfusion. I know that her mind was elsewhere. She was not really into having any conversation...but at least we were not kept in the dark of what was happpening....slowly but surely she managed to inform us the reason she was being admitted. It must've been hard on her.....
She's been transferred out from ICU and now in the High Depency Unit for further observation, really hope she is getting better, I have not had any latest news.
But staff are taking turn to visit her...and i hope our presence in one way or another will cheer her up.
N, get well soon.

Did springcleaning. Im happier with MY room now.

Will find a day when both of us are free to clear some of the 'treasure' in the wadrobe.
Keeping the room as minimal as possible, as simple as it can be and hassle free.
I want to have more space to do my routine aerobic..getting a dvd player for myself is next on my list.
Its been almost 6 years, about time this room for a makeover...i need new colour!
I'm currently reading 'Plain Truth' by Jodi Picoult.
She will be my favourite author after Ann Rule.
Im looking forward to nex tweek.
I'm taking a week leave to be with the family and away from home....at last!

I cant get to sleep.
Neighbours opposite our flat are having domestic argument, yep, its almost one in the morning!
what the hell are they thinking?
Cant they wait or will it be less thrilling to be screaming at each other in the daylight!
Wanted to call the NPP but I had done that numerous time...can someone do it for me this time round? P-L-E-A-S-E!
We did 3 laps, better than last week, and I can feel the ache....and more rounds for weeks to come...
and L was earlier than me this time..I was at the junction waiting for the green light, and she was already at the park doing her warmups...heheh!
My scale is down by another 0.5kg....:-)

Boy! am sleepy....!
Nice weather, no superior to boss around and the workload is slightly better compare to the past few days...im so tempted to have a short nap.
Didnt had a bite since morning, been busy executing the payable function that I had forgotten about breakfast. No wonder, I felt like throwing up whatever I had for lunch. Eee...i hate to have experienced that....urgh!
I've made up my mind to let go and now im kinda regret.
whats done cannot be undone...need to move on.
I'm really bad in making decision and making choices....:(

#450 - aftermath
Just came back from our routine jog, this time it seemed further but actually it was not as much as last week.
I was not really into it partly because I waited so long to do the step up exercise (a couple was at it for so long) that i had lost the momentum. We jogged for a while, walked a whole big round and sat to discuss about our future plan, err...individually.
Didnt know we were at the same frequency - we have the same interest to learn that language...it will be useful for the future especially me, to communicate with Ezzaty.
okay, im for it......I just need to complete my driving lessons, then I could safely plan for the day to attend class "-)

I dont see why you have nothing good to say of your own race.
Blood is thicker than water.
Just because you THINK life has been good to you, that does not give you every right to condemn our sisters and brothers.
You think you ARE different from anyone of us but the fact is, you are very much the SAME.
Denial. Always.

I didnt get to see H for the last time.
But was told by the Boss that he has to see me tomorrow to pass a cheque.
It's the short notice in lieu payment. I was assigned to ensure the acceptance. why me? told you i dont want to get involved.
Never thought it will end this way for him.
Im really disappointed with the way staff are being treated here.
You slogged so hard but when one tiny mistake happen, you becomes the biggest enemy.
How fair can it be? Dont the effort and sacrifice made mean a thing? well, I guess not.
I could well anticipate such treatment if Im leaving by giving short notice...hah!
oh yes, Edd is still trying to overcome his grief over the loss of his 2 colleagues.
The news of them passing on is on the NewPaper front page today.
It was too sudden and too tragic. Fatal mishap in the course of duty.
My condolences to both families, sharing your sorrows during this painful moment.
Like I've mentioned, life is a surprise as it is. One moment you are here, the next, you will be gone forever.
Treasure those around you while you can, before it's too late.

Things are getting from bad to worse in the office.
Blame it on M's headwindness - he can be so MIScommunicated and MISunderstood.
And I was the latest 'victim' - what EXACTLY have i done?"
Whatever - Shall not waste my breath arguing. Just a waste of time and effort.
I shall not take any sides, it does not concern me in any way. I'll be a fool to join in.
Blame it on yourselves for being childish.
And why do i have to rant on this?
hmm...
i hope my first step to pursue my personal interest will be here soon.
That will be my only hope to fulfill Mak's wish.
I cant get on work on those dreams if I am not able to make time for the lessons.
I have tried and now its T-a-w-a-k-a-l that Allah s.w.t will smoothen my effort.
Im not sure how long my journey here,
Im just hoping i can get all done before my time is up.
Dont get me wrong, im not suffering from any chronic illness, we all know that life is a surprise as it is.
I hope to have prepared sufficiently for both worlds. I've got many tasks in life to be accomplised.
Time has always been the biggest issue.
oh yes, I've been thinking about MS again. give it a rest. about time.

Photos of us during the "marathon"
We jogged all the way to Bottle Tree Park to have a short rest on the swing
That's her being so chubby
I could not possibly sit at the other end, the see-saw gonna break in no time.
Have stopped drinking coffee for almost 3 weeks now.
Replaced with non-fat powder milk.
It has been a smooth transition until now, right after lunch, my eyes just could not open. I cant find other alternative than caffeine intake...urgh!
I think I shall go for a power nap...
I think I have to drink lots of water - more than usual.
The heat is hitting me so bad, been drinking alot but have been going to the loo lesser these days.
Each time I reach office, im drenching with sweats.
The aircon temperature is already at its lowest, but of no help.
I've yet to upload photos of me and Ezzaty on Vesak Day.
We jogged, exercised and briskwalked for 3 solid hours...bravo!
She's loving it...

It was an emotional day to start the week.
H confided in me of what was happening between him & M, somehow i could understand why he took it this bad.
Worse, he had decided to leave soon - giving notice of 24 hours!
Im gonna lose another good pal.
He should not be here in the first place.
His efforts go unappreciated and with his qualification and experience, this company does not deserve a good employee like him.
HE DESERVES better...all the best, friend!

#444 -lift me up
HI!
Just came back from GV after watching Made of Honor, the one that I've been looking forward to watch.
It was a good show, I must say.
Thanks Mun for the company and the treat *wink*
It was a lovely day well-spent and my spirit was lifted a level higher with the selawats, qasidahs and doas.
I felt at peace.
Started as early after the morning prayer. Left home @ 7am to attend the mass Maulidur Rasul celebration at Hougang Stadium. I thought we've been to the wrong place, it was almost empty when we reached. There were even joggers....
But as soon as we were seated, the crowd started to come in, thousands were expected to turn up and they did.
Im glad to be early, we've got good seats.
I could see clearly the Ulamas from here- PRICELESS.
Its not always that we get to see them, not one but 7 of them.
Wow! I went not knowing what to expect, this is an experience to be remembered in life.
2 ulamas are from Spore while the rest are from our neighbouring country-Indonesia.
Their speeches were amazingly awesome. Their voices were firm yet soothing.
There is nothing to complain about though it took 5 hours of our time. Subhanallah.
Alhamdulilah to HIM for opening my heart to attend though it was such a waste for not bringing the kids along especially Najmi, or else Im sure to get him to the stage to meet the Ulamas like some lucky kids did. Next time, Insya-Allah.
We went home NOT empty-handed - souvenirs and nasi beriyani were generously distributed:-)
The organiser did a GREAT job - all smooth, well-organised and tertib.
p/s: Didnt get to take pics with my uncle D, though we met. It was quite a rush outside the stadium, with loads of them waiting for the buses.
The crowd, more were at the gate waiting to be ushered in
The honorable Ulamas - Subhallah.
I was smitten by his well-delivered speech and qasidah
Upclose - the rest of the Ulamas
The annoucement for the donation collected to be shared between Masjid An-Nur and Masjid En-Naeem.

Im kinda being influenced by Ani on posting some poem...
this one is truly reflecting what I'm feeling at this very moment
"Inspirational Love Poem ~ Just Be Yourself
by Donna Newman "
Just Be Yourself
To be who you are
is to be enough
To share who you are
is to share enough
To do what you love
is to do enough
There is no race to win
and nothing to be proven
only dreams to be nurtured
a self to be expressed
and love to be shared
Never doubt your worth
and always know
without any doubt
that you are truly valued

#442 - at last
with L @ 10.20pm, having a chat below my flat..At last, ive found a jogging partner and that we shall meet every Friday for that mission!
As I have anticipated, I had so much fun meeting her. she is such a jovial person..
We miscommunicated on our meeting point - we werent thinking about the same temple. hahah...
so i had a brief warm up of briskwalking for about 15 minutes getting to the right temple, i was already sweating before meeting L.
And the park was crowded, there was some kinda event going on....too much noise!
Changed venue, and went to another park further....and no regrets!
I certainly loved doing the rowing exercise on one of the machine available.
better than the one we had tried in the gym....
I LAUGHED MORE.....cant stop giggling when im with her....
L, was clowning in front of me, imitating some old folks doing line dance...how to focus lah Meena!
All in all, we didnt really jog, but mostly briskwalked around the neighbourhood, it took us one and half hour to complete the route before reaching my place...well, at least we were perspiring :-)
*****************************************************************
yeah right! I had a date with Eddris to Simpang Bedok after that..heheh!
It's hard to reject cos lately we had little time spent alone...
I was not to suppose to have anything after 8.30pm...it was already 1 in the morning...
cant possibly admiring what he was having.
SO I had to choose a healthy menu...yeah - roti john and Milo dinosaur...keh keh keh!
hmmmm.....sinful *bluek*!

Weekend is finally here.
How I wish the weekday is shorter each week.
I have skipped my practical lesson for this week.
It will be a busy weekend, I just could not accomodate the time to learn. Saturday is just too short for anything.
What am I up to? Lets see -
Saturday morning - with the children, afternoon with Mum to class and evening, time for myself.
Sunday - half of the day I will be @ Hougang stadium with Mum for the Maulidur Rasul. It will be the first after so many years of missing it. I'll get to meet my Uncle D and family there. I'll try to snap some pics.
MOnday - its HHHOOOLIDDDDDDDDAY peeps! Eddris has promised to spend the time out with us..lets see where he would be bring us out....I shall not hope for anything EXTRAordinary...knowing him for so long.
********************************************************************
I'll be meeting L tonight, a friend of a friend who becomes one of my dear friends.
We could click instantly and chatting nonsensically is quite a norm between us.
Its her good nature that makes me feel so comfortable to pour it out, if not all but the ones I find it hard to say it out to others.
Funny how, I could confide in her, someone whom i know in a short time but yet i will be so reserve to a friend of ours whom I had known for more than a decade.
It shows that friendsip built is not based on number of years but the understanding that ones can offers.
I read in her Multiply how she wants to shed some fats and me being a health freak recently offered to accompany her to jog...isnt it great???
I can anticipate a joyous jogging session....haahahhaa!

My dear friend @ work was admitted to the hospital.
She is at her 33rd weeks (to be due in mid July) BUT the baby has stopped moving and the contraction could be felt.
Its too early to let the baby see the world, what's more when there is a complication with the heartbeat.
Was told the only next best thing doctor could do is to stop the contraction and placed her under observation.
We thought of visiting her tomorrow but time does not permit.
And I was so sure that she will be discharged soon when she smsed asking me to bring the book to name her child.
so she will be delivering soon after all. how soon, we are not certain.
Hope all goes well for both Mum & baby - im gonna miss N for 3 months!
and i hope to visit her soon.

what's wrong with me?
Been feeling lethargic since morning, and what i did was keying some data and procrastinate till lunch time was over.
I even had lunch an hour earlier, joining the guys when no other female counterparts were around.
I guess the Friday meetup did some wonders.
I just dont feel like working....im looking forward to the weekend and the upcoming holiday on Monday.

Im so not in the mood to work.
Been google searching aimlessly.
I tried many times to find details of that person, about time to move on..hah!
Not in facebook, not in friendster, where else to look for.
Yep, I've got a companion to jog with.
I cant wait for Su, she's been busy with her exams.
Kovy had agreed to jog with me on Wednesday nite next week, yeah, I've asked the right person. lets hope we can make it.
Im sure he has alot to say about the course and i have lots to ask.
I miss those times when were taking the FM course. 10 months of struggling with work, exams, lectures, tutorial and results. and 10 good months of friendship....glad that we are still in contact.
I have just had my lunch. Smaller portion each day. and with consistent exercise, I hope to reach my ideal weight...6 more kilo to shed off. must not give up!
Endure. Persevere. Maintain.

I was getting ready to visit Raz, and he was busy having fun with the stuff in our storeroom

the kids were NOT supposed to be running around the musollah! but look at them,having so much fun playing hide & seek in Al-mukminin mosque's prayer hall, sigh!
I was reading by the river, and Ezzaty was busy snapping photos..
In one of our bonding time outing, had lunch at Pizza Hut. She was eager to finish this up while I had to take my time to finish up the rest for her....no wonder Im gaining weight!
Getting ready for one of our late shoppings at Mustaffa's..look at those eyes, trying hard not to doze off

HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY TO ALL MOTHERS!
Received wishes via sms since Monday, thanks pals!
Ayah brought all of us to IMM.
He was on 2 shifts the day before, I was surprised that he wanted to bring us out, all unplanned.
Thank you so much for spending the time with us.
He should be catching up on his sleep since he will be on night shift again, but I guess once a while sacrificing for your loved ones is just worth it...right? no?
anyway, dont care lah, as long we were able to be together though it was for a while.
Ezzaty had fun driving on that bear..her skill is getting better
Najmi refused to have the ride with Sis, but was all excited seeing the playground at the Garden..poor Nenek had to entertain him.

So many things happen in a week that I didnt have the time to blog about it.
We didnt have Aqua Aerobic on May Day, so last Thursday after a week rest, most of us found the water level to be deeper than usual and the regime to be extremely difficult. hahhah! The instructress was wondering if we were angry at her because all of us were frowning...heheh! we were in fact focusing to get the steps right.
Exams period is officially over for Ezzaty by Friday. I took half day leave to have our bonding time on the weekday for a change. Headed to CityHall and spent most of the time at Esplanade - watching the moon, looking at the stationery Ferris Wheel and gazing aimlessly at the Merlion...She was busy snapping photos after that while I listened to some music and reading my Ann Rule by the river...wonderful!
Earlier on of the day, I met up with BC.
I was the first on the list by referral. It was very informal. This is so unexpected :-)
I had kept my promise to bring the kids to the pool.
Mun tagged along, thanks! Or else It will be very handfull.
The baby pool (wadding pool) was closed for some kind of maintenance.
The 1m depth pool was not that bad, (except for it was abit crowded with kids learning how to swim)
I managed to keep Najmi afloat and taught Ezzaty what I had learnt in the Aqua Aerobic. Fun!
Was back from the weekly class. I didnt have much for lunch but was so sleepy during class.
Fortunately ustazah diverted the topic, she went on to explain about the Haj journey which was interesting or else Im sure to have slept through the whole lesson.
Tomorrow lesson shall be from 9.30-11am. I guess my favourite time slot caused inconvenience to the instructor, i was immediately given this time before had the chance to book for one.
I hope im getting better. must learn to anticipate fast..hmm....its tiring at times.

Still cannot decide.
Still contemplating between these 2.
BB or CD....both have their pros & cons.
This is one of the many I wish that life would be simpler.
I called Edd on his mobile to seek for his opinion.
As usual he wants me to decide for myself.
Duh! if i can, I would not have called you.
Haiya! this is so frustrating...
That's why its better to turn to HIM for guidance.
Cant depend on human being, always a letdown...well, its a bit of exaggerating...
okay, at least most of the times...
I think i would just go ahead, but then I have ALREADY cancelled the date.
huh!
silly me! always kancheong!

Worked till 7pm so that I could go back with M.
Its not always that we are able to be together.
She is a part-timer, who reports to work at odd hours.
I like having chat with her.
she's straight-forward, very bubbly and understanding. (i know its kinda unmatch to mention all these)
I learn alot about life as a civil engineer.
She is one of the many in the centres who gave up lucrative pays and dynamic careers for their families.
It was during the economic downturn that most of them turn to teaching to earn the extra bucks while being homemakers.
M had been tutoring for the past 7 years, she would have joined the competitive market recently if not for her 3 sons.
And she is one of the few who have been shedding some lights on how the market is coping outside.
She's been very protective of me. Knowing what SM is like, she's been very positive about me exploring.
Thanks but I can still manage and endure.
Lets see for how long......gee....im be a year here in 2 months time. wow, so sssssslowwww!
I've swop with A on our alternate days,
I'll be back to office tomorrow, yet again.
I still have 6 more months of reports to dig....it shall be a horrible day in the office!

#432 - me, myself & i
I have been having silly thoughts lately.
so silly that i think its better to keep it to myself.
BUT Keeping things to myself isnt doing me any good.
I tend to blow my top at the wrong time, wrong place and wrong person...urgh!
How I wish things would be simpler.
That there are things I dont have to encounter.
Like making decisions and choices.
I need the space to be alone.
But impossible with 2 kids and a BIG baby who cry for my attention.
I cant be selfish. oh well, at times i am.
Im the daughter, the sister, the mother, the wife, the employee but at the end of the day Im still a person who needs all the time in the world to be and for herself. im not good at multi-tasking!
Ask me what i want, i wont tell you.
Because you will not be able to make it happen.

Im still in the office, its housekeeping AGAIN!
Cant get the figure right, so I had to re-do as far as July 2007.
What to do? Someone has to clean up the mess, yeah im the lucky one.
May Day was great, went shopping with Mak alone.
Only when I was done, then she proceeded to source for the groceries.
She's a great companion, if only we share the love for watching movies, Im sure to ask her along...(i cant wait to watch Made of Honor - Mun, be free!)
Been going around, I wasnt too sure if i should be buying those blouses but she reassured that I will be needing them. Thanks Mak, I can be such a fickle minded.
Yeah, Im a happy customer - I have accomplished the mission to replace most of my office wear...cant do it at one shot, I shop for them gradually...heheh!
We were done after almost 3 hours...under the heat and carrying those bulky items, no
wonder i was so sleepy throughout the journey.
I had to issue yet another P n C Cheque...
Im not sure if anyone would feel the jitters..
getting orders to prepare such cheques enough to make me lose faith in the organisation.
someone ought to take up HR course..at times i felt it was unfair.

#429 - the weekend
Its been a week since this blog was updated.
what was I up to?
The monthly closing is over.
Table had been turned around - the faster they want it, the more problems they had to encounter.
It was madness. Even SM had to turn up on Sat to clear the mess. I heard she was mumbling that it was not easy.
Tell me about it, its time you have to know that we are not having a good time getting orders from all of you.
Sat -We had the girl bonding time again.
We had our lunch at Pizza Hut and off to the library.
I managed to get hold of Ann Rule's copy, not the latest though.
Ezzaty borrowed 4 books - to brush up her language skill. She's picking up on her Arabic.
Decided to shop around Orchard. I was very disappointed that the mosque is under major re-construction.
Taking wudhuk at the carpark's toilet was so inconvenient. To think we travel all the way to have our Asar prayer there...
That shall be our last prayer for the day there, had enough of shopping, left for Raffles Place for Magrib. Both of us had a good rest while waiting for adzan.
Reached home almost 9pm..and what did i get for myself?
A gym ball from Toys R us..its time to flatten that tummy!
Sunday - I had my practical lesson from 8 to 9.30am
I drove all the way from Bukit Gombak to Yew Tee while my instructor dozed off..hahah!
I looked at him and said "PAKCIK TIDUR!" he was "oh yeah, termakan byk pulut lah hari nie"..funny old chap!
but it sure felt good to be behind the wheels without the naggings...
Right after lesson, waited for Mak, Naj & Edd at Kranji for our monthly JB grocery.
There was a massive jam from Marsiling all the way to the checkpoint, we were done with the immigration after almost 2 hours. phew!
I coulld not have my facial session, the salon was relocated and i could not find it at the new shopping complex!
With all the ringgits I had, spent them on magazines!

My! im exhausted.
Despite the rain, we still working out in the pool.
The water level seemed deeper than last week and found myself being carried away many times.
I just could not get the movement right, the instructress had to attend to me personally.
The abdominal exercise is good but its hard to do against the water pressure.
I was too careful, afraid of getting the cramps again.
The last time it lasted for 4 days.
An hour passed too fast. I was just about to get the hang of it and soon it was a wrap up.
Me, kak S & Kak Z stayed alittle longer to swim a few laps. Not me though, I was taught the basics by Kak S.
SM was around too, knowing that many shunned her, she was pretty much on her own.
Even during the workouts, she was far away from the rest..hmmm..
I still could not get over what Kak N was telling Kak S.
N was on leave today, or else I would have confided in her...
On 2nd thoughts, why should i bother by her words, she exaggerated.
I guess I was hurt by her constant comparison...well, she's not my boss, not even in the same department, I should have just ignored. Pretend not knowing....
But i guess, I was disappointed that she still feel that way after almost a year.
i should have known better.

I never thought to be misunderstood this way.
And I hate to be wrongly judged.
And please stop comparing.
There will be no peas alike.
Even twins have different personalities.
I can assured you because im one of them.
hmmm....really, why must you make a mountain out of a hill?
well, kak N, if you dont like me, can you tell me straight in the face and stop barking behind my back!

I was having a casual chat with N during lunch about some stuff which she realised that Im so fed up with.
I didnt realised we felt the same way.
I thought I was confused, but it didnt seem that way now.
We can never go wrong finding refuge in HIM.
I have never felt this way.
I used to rant endlessly. aiming at no one. complaints. mumblings.
Then I realised those who seem eager to share my sort of problems were not sincere at all.
They were there for the sake of "what are friends for" but behind my back, came with ridiculous conclusions, nasty remarks and bias judgment.
Now, I tell my problems to HIM and I ask for solution from HIM.
I complain to HIM, I seek HIS guidance and I tell him what's keeping in my heart.
I know HE will not tell me instantly and for that Im still hoping.
Good things happen to those who wait.
I have yet to see the outcome but I have faith in HIM that whatever it is,
that's the best for me.
HE protects when the odds are against us.
im feeling so emo lately.
i dont know why....

Just came back from our Iqra class.
Readings are getting harder but im sure with lots of practice and perseverance, I shall be able to overcome the difficulty.
We will be having tests in June and August. I scored quite well for the April test, getting full score with 2 stars.
Hopefully im getting better, highest will be awarded with 3 stars.
Im looking forward to the day that I could read flawlessly..Amin.
Somehow, during lesson, I became so sleepy, as if my eyes were glued. It should not be the case, I skipped my dinner for the lesson. SIGH, actually i should have had a bite, then I will not be so hungry...
i just had a small plate of rice....its after 10pm, and here I am eating....
Weather has been very hot, I have never sweat like this before.
I get thirsty easily and my temper is getting from bad to worse...oh no!
******vvvv**********************vvvv****************vvv****************
I have not confided to anyone but ALLAH about my worries and thoughts.
I guess it will be between me and HIM for the longest time.
I dont even know if its okay to ask for it.
and im not even sure if HE will grant it.
Im pretty much confuse.
that's what i think...i may be wrong.

Finally, I managed to get hold of the business contact, the one I sent email to.
When asked, with a wide smile , he admitted to receive my email.
hmm...some people just dont bother to respond. He had resigned but somehow the email was re-routed to his personal account.
Practical lesson on Sunday was hilarious.
Decided to engage this pakcik for the rest of my lessons.
I feel comfortable learning from him.
The only setback, he may not be available all the time..
I have to accomodate his time schedule instead.
Mak came back with loads of foodstuff..she was very tired last night.
I hope the trip was a worth one, though I know she didnt do alot of shopping, we were not there to accompany her.

#423-aches!
Im having aches all over especially on my left leg.
I cant walk properly, cant even carry Najmi that long and when seated, i could not straighten my leg like usual.
This is what you will get for not exercising for so long...hooo!
For the past week, I have been cutting down on carbo meal....
I skip dinner after seven....
Hopefully, there is positive result..so far I have lost 2kg..okaylah, not so great.

#422-water exercise
Just came back from Aqua aerobic.
It was fun but tiring!
Just before the session ended, I had cramps! gosh!
I was surprised that I could actually swim...kudos, hasana!
We did alot of paddling, running and shaking in the water...
Didnt realise an hour had passed...I have not enough actually..
the jogging regime which was supposed to start on Tuesday had to be cancelled.
It was raining cats and dogs...well, maybe it would be my first time,so the rain decided to pour on me..hehehe!
Sadly next week, Suhaidah will have to postphone, the marathon that she will join will kick off on the following day..
so she does not want to tire herself....
oh never mind, at least i still have water exercise..
lets hope SM will not turn up again for next week Aqua aerobic....lets Pray hard!

Just a short update before I rush off.
Both siblings are free form HFMD - Alhamdulilah.
Glad that they've got their appetite back, and so glad Najmi is no longer that cranky, moody and temperamental kid!
Mak is preparing for her solo kl trip, well not actually solo, she'll be going with my aunts and uncles and some of the cousins. She will be the only one without her own family. We would have gone too if Eddris could take leave and drive us there. Going by coach with young childen is aliitle bit inconvenient. That's the MAIN reason why Mak prohibited us from joining her.
She will be meeting my long separated uncle,I have not seen him since I was a kid, more than 20 years now.
Okay, im finishing up on the bank entries and tomorrow I shall be able to close the account, hopefully.
They can be unreasonable at times.
I was away for almost aweek, yet no extension of dateline but wanting me to complete much earlier than usual.
Apa kau ingat aku robot kah?!

#420 - path X
First impression always lasts.
For how long, I wont know.
But I do realise crossing each other's path does not really mean a thing.
But i wonder sometimes, why are we fated to meet in the first place....whatever is it for if it's for nothing?
I certainly hope that I will be able to maintain good ties with friends that I have made, both new and old.
I hope too, to leave good impression on them.
To be remembered in the nicest way.
***************XXXX**********************XXXXXX***************
I have made plan to meet up with Suhaidah tomorrow, yippee!
At least I have something to look forward to after a hard day at work.
No hiccup this time, im certain.
the last time, all plans were disrupted due to the unexpected!
Its baby boom this year, Im sure...
some are to be expected, while this particular news totally took me by surprise.
Congrats....d little one is coming..ahemmm..
not from me for sure!

I've sent an email to a business contact, voicing out my initial displeasure.
After a long explanation, told him it was not a complaint but instead a thank you note for the dedication which i had wrongly misinterpreted as unnecessary.
Yeah, im not good at judging. I judge people too fast and my conclusion can be unjustifiable at times...sigh!
I hope to get a reply soon..

Yeah, im not good at judging. I judge people too fast and my conclusion can be unjustifiable at times...sigh!
I hope to get a reply soon..

Sungguh bengang dgn perangai anak bujang aku sorang nie...
tak boleh salah sikit, siaplah merajuk dia berjela2x.
dah lah dah berhari makan tak lalu, badan makin susut, garangnya menjadi2x....
Cepatlah sembuh nak, Ibu misses the old you.
The fun, candid and food craze boy....

After almost a week, I dont feel welcomed here.
Sitting on my chair felt so weird.
Drinking from my cup felt so tasteless.
Typing on the keyboard felt so slow...everything doesnt seems right.
Flipping through those pages of untouched worksheets sent chill down my spine.
Im SO excited to dump all into the bin!
and to think that my superiors had the cheeks to flood my inbox.
dont EXPECT me to read those mails from home when im ill...*hit forehead*

#416 to be slim again
Efforts have been made but had to be postponed yet again.
I've paid for the Aqua Aerobic session and supposed to start the regime on Thursday.
I was on 2 days child sick leave, cant possibly join them after work, what with SM around(out of courtesy, she was invited to join, who knows she was interested).....
Well, no make up lesson for those not turning up, I guess i have to make do with the remaining lessons.
I have agreed to join Suhaidah for a weekly jog at YCK stadium every Tuesday nights....but not to join for the gym on sat afternoons..with alternate saturdays duties and Islamic class after that...too inconvenience.
Its a good time to start a workout schedule, better still when I have a companion...Raz is still contemplating on the idea.
Gee, ,im so thrilled on the thought of losing some weights...beside looking good,(i hope i can achieve that), I shall spare those pains im suffering now.
Those nasty aches, painful joints, supertiredness, bla bla bla...my, i sound so much older.
hmm...got to do something about my hunchback...hope not too late to straightup.

Its good to be away from work...
A week of coping with HFMD, madness at work (though it was only for a day) and fighting myself against the bug..got alittle of those ugly virus from the kids. Stomach bloatedness, dizzy spells and feeling feverish.
I do not wish to think about the upcoming loads....let it be and whats gonna be.
When the tough gets going, the going gets tough...lately, things at work was just super hell!
***************xxxxx******************xxxxxxxxx***************xxxxxxxxx
Have you ever dreamt of the impossibles?
Knowing too well that it wont happen but yet letting your imaginations went wild..
i guess its a way of escapade.
I have done my search and am glad to find some leads...not much, at least i know more than the basic.

#414 down to memory lane
Okay Sue, I hope this classic pic will refresh ur memory(courtesy of Suhaidah who emailed me this).
Taken when we were in P5..I think u werent in the same class. but we met up during malay class.
It was only in P6 that u, Suhaidah & ani were together in p6c and I was in p6d with Raz.
(sorry, eh raz, i know u gonna kill me publishing this photo)
See that CSPS - Suhaidah was on 2nd row, 3rd from left
(closeup)Razitah was on the 3rd row, extreme right (look at her smile)
(lagi close up)i cant figure out why we had to smile like dat,,,must be we were like "say CHEESE"...(that's me, ani, Juliyatee, CT Dzarifah & Raz)....arent we adorable..kakakah!)

Last Friday, I was down with a fever.
On Monday, Ezzaty was diagnosed with HFMD.
And just then, it was Najmi's turn.
I had a confirmation from the school that more kids are getting them, so far it was 6 and the number is increasing.
I anticipated as much that soon Najmi will be getting it, though he showed no symptom of inactiveness and loss of appetite.
He's been cuddling and kissing big sister as usual....told them it's contagious but both dont seem to bother.
Alhamdulilah, both arent in the critical stage...except for the ulcers and spots, both are still very active, eat well, play hard and fight always. Surprisingly, Ezzaty is not down with any flu or fever. She cant wait to get back on her feet and off to school. A week mc is just too long.....
I'll be taking child sick leave tomorrow to send Najmi for another review...I hope it will be for the last one.
Work is piling up since last week...so sad that no one bother to assist me other than rushing me for almost everything.
I'll be very tight down at work...BOD meeting will be held earlier than scheduled...sigh!

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!

#409 - bake to bond
cant wait to take a biteI'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!
