Happy New Year to those celebrating Chinese New Year and Muslims worldwide for the coming 1426 Hijrah. May the new year brings loads of good things in life for all.
Deli had to work on Saturday so the kids and I stayed at home. I was too lazy to drive. Actually, i hate driving in KL. There are a lot of maniacs on the road. I drove in New York city once and it was terrifying! New Yorkers have a lot to say and 'show' when they're upset. Accompanied a friend to one of the embassies - couldn't remember which one and we decided not to park the car coz the parking fee will cost as good as 2 days worth of posh lunch. Yikes! In fact, everytime we went to NYC, we'll park at some of the Msian students residential area and took the sub. Later on, we found this cheap parking area in Manhattan, by the Hudson River. The scenery was breathtaking!
Those were the good times.
Along arrived pretty late on Saturday and left early the next day. Tak sempat borak and everything. Cuma sempat bagi all the souvenir i bought them from KK.
Deli's off for the whole week. Jealous nyer! He's in the office today to settle some stuff. Rajin betul. Tak kisahlah, janji he's chauffeuring me to work everyday.
Malasnya nak tulis lagi. The mood's totally gone. Kapish!
Later perhaps.

Tired
Yup. That's how i feel for the past few days. Extremely tired. Tired of the never-ending work and tired of dealing with idiots. Just tired.
Told ya it's gonna be the longest 3 months of my life.
Got to learn that Bossy Boss just got an award for his excellent (not!)contribution in 2004. He was away on system migration week for goodness sake! I cannot understand how the award system works. Some people are just damn blind. So blind. Blinder than the blind mice. Whatever that means.
And oh, he just left. He came in late very day, leave earlier than me sometimes and he got an award. AHU said woking late is our culture. Okay. Whatever.
I'm in a foul mood.

One Busy Bee
Wow! Dah lama giler tak update my blog. Really, really lama. Kerja kat HSC memang bizi giler. The calls, the cases, blablabla plus my own assignments. Memang tak menang tangan. Sometimes, i really had to put down the headset and concentrate on what i'm doing. Pity my partner but i really had to. Kalau tidak, tak boleh nak fikir sebab staff called in all the time and i need to totally use my head to get the job done. *Sigh*
Along was laughing when i told her abount me manning HSC. 'Kena downgrade ker apa?' she said jokingly but deep down inside, i had to agree. Yes, it's good that you're exposed to all these and somehow, u learn a great deal of things but at the same time.. Well, u know what i mean. I hope.
We're embarking on Project Garden. What's with the name anyway? The best part is, Bossy Boss totally excludes me from the project! I was not in any of the meetings and agenda - which is good. Then the thought of Project Pyramid struck! I was not in any of the meetings or anything at all but i ended up maintaining the database and payroll related matters. Believe me, i shed some (read: a lot of) tears during this project. Tak payah ceritalah. Lain tahun aje. The scar is still visible. Any wound Bossy Boss had caused never totally healed anyways. Goes without saying.
PWC auditors are all over the office asking for stuff and doing their job damn too well. Now i had to figure out why MMS was short of 2 staff and the cost was down to about $57K in July 2004. The perks of working in HR. People assume u know EVERYTHING when u're in HRIS. Let's see. We had a few people coming in, resigned and yeah, a lot of them transferred. Now where's that calculator?
Just so u know, i have yet to figure that out.
The interesting part!
KK vacation was a blast! A day of shopping at KK town - Philipinne market was one of those places where u really wanna spend the whole roll of hundreds there and then. Enough said. Couldn't bear the thought of leaving the pearls, crystals, wood carvings and everything else just sitting in the shops instead of my crib. Sobs!
Nexus Resort Karambunai was a total bliss! I don't really fancy beaches but Nexus was somehow different. In so many ways! It started with the gorgeous room. The prompt room service (they sent 3 bottles of mineral water just because we had to wait for about 20 mins for the food) and of course the bathtub. This is very important when u have 2 monsters literally born with swim suits!
We spent one whole day in the water - pool and beach. Well, the kids and Deli. I had a good time reading CSI by the beach, under a hut with a packet of pistachio nuts. Deli took a pict of me - dozing off. Luckily he didn't get a shot of my face. I could have sworn i had a smile on my face!
It was a great vacation. One of those places i'm willing to come and visit again. We've been doing this annual vacation for almost 7 years now and i have to say Nexus, along with Riviera Bay Resort and Aseania Resort are worth your dosh and time.
Now, back to reality. I hate Bossy Boss.

Not That Bad After All
The calls coming in to HSC are not that bad, actually. Maybe sebab belum ada query yang mencabar. Touch wood and everything else!
Deli dah balik from Shinagawa. Everything went well.
Tok Mak balik BP on Sunday, 11 am naik Transnasional and reached BP at 3pm. Lepas sent her off to Pududraya, we went to The Mall. Lama giler tak jejak kaki kat tempat nih. Adik and Kakak had fun kat Parkson sebab they're allowed to pick a toy each. Adik as usual, cari Ultraman. Kakak nampak handphone Barbie, siap dengan the pouch lagi. Takper la, kasi can diaorg bersuka ria. These past few weeks pun diaorang rajin pergi sekolah and tak komplen. Well, except for adik la for a few days. Tapi lepas tu, ok dah. Pergi Bangsar to send some forms to Deli's brother. SInggah Bangsar Village for dinner. Try makan kat Laksa Shack - not bad! Even Adik & Kakak makan nasi lemak sampai habis. We thought of leaving after dinner sebab nak tengok Juara Lagu tapi the kids ternampak Toys R Us on the 1st floor. So, kasi can lagi la. They played and sempat ambil stuff. Kakak beli coloring book and adik beli die-cast United airplane. Kopak makcik! Tak kisahlah. Asalkan diaorg gumbira.
Told the kids pasal KK trip this Friday. Kakak cukup excited. Adik dah start taknak pergi sekolah sebab nak naik kapal terbang and pergi swimming. Terpaksa explain kat dia sikit and told him it's only for 4 days. Pujuk lebih kurang and he agreed. Good boy!
Today kena belikan dia tidbits. Ala-ala upah sebab dia tak nangis this morning. Heheh..

What? Already?
Yep. I am sitting here, manning the HSC. Fumbled a bit with the 'changgih' phone. This is gonna be the longest 3-months of my life! Yikes!
Wish me luck people. I really need it.

Long, Horrible Couple of Days
Things are not getting any better. Our web server is still acting up. We're bogged down with work and nothing much can be accomplished in such terrible state. I've been running around like a crazy monkey making sure the key users are able to login and trying to entertain the rest of the company with their never-ending problems. *Sigh*
Apart from that, the office is officially a warzone! Two insect-sized sections decided to declare World War III against each other. It's been 2 days and e-mails are flying all over - offensive ones, i would say. Colleagues or friends - i don't intend to take sides. I listened to both. I stand my grounds. And i talked to VF.
My sympathy to Lara and co. Semoga semuanya cepat recover - especially Mira. Memang agak ngeri bila dengar babies kena demam panas. Teringat bila Adik kena fits dulu. I nearly lost my spirit and mind.
Also to Nong's precious Kenit. Tak apalah berjahit sikit kepala tu. Nanti boleh tease dia bila dia besar - anak dara yang terlebih lasak and pooped in the clinic. Heheh...
Deli dah selamat terbang ke Shinagawa. The kids tak adalah tanya sangat sebab i told them he's working late. Tok Mak is here. Taklah rasa sunyi sangat. Dapat juga tolong distract the kids. This morning, Adik tak nak pergi school. Dia kata, 'Nak jaga Tok Mak'. Iyer la tuh.
Tak boleh online lama-lama sangat. Takut Deli call and couldn't get through pulak.
May tomorrow be a better day.

A Slow Friday
Don't u hate it when u have so much to do and feeling enthusiast to do all of those stuff BUT the server is down and u can't do practically ANYTHING? Well, it's happening! Now. At this moment. Argh!
Got an e-mail from Deli. He's gonna be off to Shinagawa next Tuesday till Friday. Sucks!
I've had cereal for breakfast and a cup of milo but i'm still hungry! And it's only 10.40am - hours to go before lunchtime. Arrrrr.. *terketar-ketar*
Bossy Boss called yesterday to officially let me know that i'll be manning the service center (HSC) starting from next week. 'U've done a good job getting back to customers and their requests.. blablabla' - which i know, was just a way of luring me to do the HSC. Tak boleh mengelak lagi - tension betul! I didn't belajar pandai-pandai to jaga a service center. Chiss!
Hmm... it's only 11am. I'm starving!

My Precious
My precious - macam cerita LOTR pulaknya. Heheh..
My precious babies dah start their schooling era. Adik dah masuk play-school and kakak dah masuk preschool 1. Today's their first day pergi sekolah pakai uniform. Kakak excited sangat nak pergi sekolah. Kejut dia sekali, terus bangun and mandi. Adik masih liat nak bangun sikit tapi lepas kena pujuk, barulah dia nak masuk bilik air. Bila sampai kat sekolah, i told adik how proud i am of him and kakak. Then he said, "Mummy, cakap 'pandainya anak mummy!'." And i said just that to him along with a hug. Dah besar anak bujangku! Sobs....
Semalam i got a call from Miss Peggy of Kelly IT Resources. They arranged for an interview kat MCB Towers at 7pm. I was a bit tergezut sebab i couldn't remember the position i applied for. Rupanya it's for Associate Consultant. I was not ready at all - i was casually dressed with huduh-looking sandal (note: bought a new pair just for the occasion) and my handbag was terribly wrong for good-first-impression. Argh!
Went there with Deli. Apparently they are looking for candidates for Dell in Penang. The interviewer asked if i would like to relocate to Penang - i said, why not since Deli is looking for a job in Penang as well. He then asked me to invite Deli to the interview as well and he said if things worked out fine, he'll try to relocate both of us. Yey! Am trying hard not to get my hopes flying over the Twin Towers and i'm keeping my fingers (and everything else) crossed - hoping for the best!
Wish me luck people!

Welcome To The World
Today's my birthday!
The kids and Deli sang and hugged me at exactly 12 midnight. I'm the happiest girl alive!
Received calls and SMS from friends and family. No, i'm not 30. I'm just 29++. Heheh...
