Almost An Uneventful Weekend

I started the weekend with no plans but to be a couch potato alone. But, on Saturday I got to couch potato with Nila. After hours of FRIENDS followed by an hour dose of Desperate Housewives, we went groceries shopping for hours. Syokk

Sunday, Hannah and her baby Fatini finally made it to my humble home. Lepak macam dulu-dulu. What a bliss.

Weekends are always too short for me.

Junk Keeper

That I am. Hari ni pun x berapa rajin nak keje so I thought I'd do some spring cleaning. After 5 minutes it hit me that I am a super junk keeper. I keep everything. Really. Patut la I'm always running out of storage space, both physical and hard disk storage. Semua benda pun sayang nak buang. Yesterday, in my "attempt to being normal" direct quote from Mr Moshi Moshi, I found so many obsolete files in my thumb drive yg patutnya dah lama deleted but somehow still there. In no time I cleared 1GB of junk from the 4GB ibujari. Wait till I clear my desk and my pc...

Btw, dah official that starting 1 December I can go home at 5.15p.m. Mondays to Thursdays and 5 p.m. on Fridays. Perhaps I can re-consider that little part-time project of mine after all.

Kebaya

Hari ini saya pakai kebaya kerana saya rasa saya kurus sedikit setelah bersenam semalam. Semalam saya bermain badminton bersama rakan-rakan pejabat. Best. Tetapi, setelah bersarapan nasi lemak (Mia belanja), saya rasa dah gemuk balik. Terasa sia-sia bersenam semalam. Tapi nasi lemak tu sedap. Tapi nasi lemak malam tadi kat Darussalam, Subang Jaya lagi sedap. Saya tidak makan nasi lemak malam tadi, tapi saya "pow" nasi lemak orang lain sedikit. Malam tadi saya makan tosai rawa onion. Tosai itu sedap juga. Sekarang rasa nak makan steamboat kat Restoran Yuen, Sunway. Kena cari kaki untuk makan steamboat.


Berbalik kepada cerita badminton. Saya rasa semalam saya tidak jadi badut sangat seperti biasa. Sebaliknya saya rasa saya rock. Tapi saya rasa tangan saya besar sebelah sebab main badminton. Tangan atas kanan la sebab saya bertangan kanan (right handed). Hari ini saya berazam untuk menggunakan tetikus menggunakan tangan kiri. Adalah diharapkan ini dapat menyeimbangkan saiz tangan atas saya selepas ini.


Hari ini saya tidak ada gambar untuk dikongsi. Nanti kalau saya jumpa gambar menarik saya letakkan di sini. Sementara itu, apa kata anda semua jawap soalan ini. Ada berapa tapi dalam karangan saya hari ini? hehehe













u're not actually counting are u?

Malas

It's that time of the year again when I malas nak kerje especially now that the bosses have started to take turns taking holidays. Think I should be taking a break myself. Unfortunately, I can't really afford to because
  • cuti tinggal 2.5 days -and I will need that for raya haji and hari2 terbangun lambat
  • financial constraint-whenever I managed to save enough money for a holiday I ended up spending it on something big - this time it's called laptop
  • don't really know where to go to plus going anywhere now requires permission now that I am back in Malaysia. Don't really enjoy the questionnaire questions whenever I say "I think I want to go....". Really miss going for impromptu getaways.
  • rugi la coz it's school holidays and everywhere is packed and costs more and this is the best time to drive to work sbb jalan kosong! If only everyday is a school holiday


Some momentos from previous escapades.. many more in the boxes..ntah bila nak unpack



Actually, I woke up late this morning. Almost 7. Somehow, my brain managed to block the sounds of my alarms (all three of them) and I continued sleeping. Bangun panik and rushed to work (after showering -of course!). All the way to the office, thinking what excuse I can possibly give for coming in late for work masa school holidays ..none. Even considered half day. Nasib baik cuti sekolah. punched in at 7.58 am, just two minutes to spare. Eventhough they dont chase us with the borang kemaskini anymore these days, I still don't feel right to arrive late especially since I plan to leave on time today after three days in a row going home after Maghrib. Rajin betul kubekerja. I find that those hours after everyone balik is the most productive time for me to do work, real work yg kena pikir e.g. write codes or run simulations.

I guess that's y i feel like I've worked for the whole week kut..hehehe.. At the moment, really looking forward to weekend. It's been a while since I really have a laid back weekend. Think I'll spend most of my time being a couch potato (ikut jejak langkah joe.jaffar).

In the company of Mr Rainbow....


And maybe Miss M who is back from Bali and/or Mrs H whom I hope will make it to my apartment before her daughter turns ten...ehehe and the other regulars


I like this photo

Otherwise, I am more than happy to spend some quality time with myself. Perhaps another dip in the pool...

Lupa laks.. all photos taken using D's camera and some of them taken by the man himself.. Tq D.

Thank God Raya is Over

This year's raya month was a busy one for me. Not complaining though. Every weekend was packed with open houses. Enjoyed every single one of them. Somehow, every week there will be one in Ampang area that I now know how to drive to Ampang area without having to use my GPS. Ate so much. Can't help it. Food was all great and super delicious. Missed one open house in Subang Bestari though, one that I really wanted to go to but could not.

Consequences:


  1. Weight gain again, now almost back to before fasting month weight. Just look at picture below. This one was taken during my company's Majlis Mesra Aidilfitri.

  2. Extremely exhausted. Not enough rest. It's not easy juggling time between loved ones, colleagues and friends. Not wanting to disappoint anyone.

  3. Messy house. Just didn't have time to clean it. Proof, mom started commenting on how untidy the house the moment she stepped in. Aiyoh. Mental note: Must always clean the apartment whenever she's coming for a visit.




Finally, last weekend, I get to spend time for myself . By that I mean, going for a treasure hunt. Wah sudah lama x pergi. Sangat gian. It's only my third hunt for the year. super duper rusty. The last two times, my team did not win anything. We did not put up high hopes for this one either. Just wanted to have some fun. Organisation wise, very chaotic. Organiser definitely have to improve on that. But, I like the hunt questions. New breed I must say. Don't think many people could say the same.




Tgh register


Bfast dulu




Excited nak g hunt nih


Driver dah ready nak gerak

Surprise, surprise.. we won something! Ok not top three but the cash reward was more that enough to send us grinning from ear to ear and put us in a very happy mode.

We won!!! hahaha





On the very same day, I spent the money for a painting. Prize money all gone now..sheeshh. Bila la nak pandai jimat cermat nih. Anyways, team kiterorg glamer because of this. Results of the hunt is posted here and here. At least I terasa glamer. If only dapat joint The Sun Hunt the very next day.

Sunday baru bangun lambat and lazed around. Then, while watching Fashion 70's (korean soap opera), slowly did some desperately needed cleaning and washing.

As for this weekend, will start with European Lingerie Warehouse Sale tomorrow...
