week long holiday with no place to go

Basically, I have no idea on what to do for the upcoming CNY + Awal Muharram + FT day holidays :((
Wanted to go for a cuti-cuti Malaysia but I’m sure hotels and beaches are jam-packed with holiday makers plus the compulsory hotels’surcharge too.. Wanted to travel overseas but I am still in my first trimester. How I long to laze at Bali beaches or at its villa’s or hotel’s pool... Which reminds me that I’ve been wanting to go to either Tanjong Jara or Pangkor Laut Resort. Supposedly the most romantic getaway in Malaysia with countless of international travel awards under their belt. Wanted to go to Bandung too for some cool weather... I also wanted to go to Bangkok for some serious shopping but that was part of the plan before I got myself pregnant.
Am scratching my head for ideas to spend the week long holiday. Part of me want to be a bit wifely and do some housekeeping at my room. Some part of me want to finish up watching SATC season 4 and 6 dvd, LOTR Return of the King Extended Version dvd and Brownies dvd, an Indonesian chick flick bought on holiday which is currently gathering dusts on my shelf. I also have 3 weeks worth of mrjones’ work shirts to iron, too - argghhh !!
I also have some flickering urge to go to one utama to look for some pants and flat sandals. I heard that a couple from my Penang’s clan plan to do some serious swipe-now-suffer-later IKEA shopping and now my fiend-ish sister-in-law will be coming down to KL too, adding to my gloom.. Bors bors !!
Two things are certain for me this holiday. Am going to henna my hair and go karaoke with hubby and our karaoke buff friend. Whenever I look into the mirror, I saw strands of silverish hair glistening and feel that, now it’s time for me to do something about it. Was a bit upset when I found out that mum has give away all her packs of henna powder, grrrr... I’m not really into karaoke but I do it anyway to amuse my husband and our friend. Am currently listing songs that I plan to sing for the session. I terasa nak hentam nyanyi lagu sheila on 7’s berhenti berharap and all time favourite - mungkin nanti. I will throw in my national anthem too - black eyed peas’ my humps, hmm nice....
My default activities this week long holiday will be :
- putting up my feet in anticipation to nurse my tummy upsets and backaches or whatever aches there may be...
- irritate my darling cat, chi chi girl up to her eyeballs..
So, what u guys will be doing ? Nothing keji I bet..which reminds me, rasa nak jenguk blog ah beng sikalang..

Only if you're bored :)

You know when you enter a lift/elevator and you don’t know anyone? The feelings worse when its just you and another person. You might feel uncomfortable, thinking "should I be friendly or ignore?" You don’t know what to do while waiting to get to your floor..so to kill time you either pretend to look serious or stare at the buttons or stare at the door or play with your fingers, buat-buat sms or whatever. You feel the journey going up/down feels like forever. So basically you’re boredlah. What can you do?... Hehe...Here’s what you can do to amuse yourself. Observe other people’s reaction. Would they be amused too? One way to kenakan orang..Hehe..

Things to do when you’re bored in an elevator

  • When there's only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder and then pretend it wasn't you.
  • Push the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. Smile and go back for more.
  • Call the Psychic Hotline from your handphone and ask if they know what floor you're on.
  • Hold the doors open and say you're waiting for your friend. After a while, let the doors close and say, "Hi Dilla. How's your day been?"
  • Move your desk into the elevator and whenever someone gets on ask if they have an appointment.
  • Stare, grinning at another passenger for a while and then announce, "I have new underwear on."
  • Pretend you are a flight attendant and review emergency procedures and exits with the passengers.
  • Crack open your briefcase or handbag, and while peering inside, ask,"Got enough air in there?"
  • Walk up to somebody and smell them and give a gross face, or do the opposite and act as though you enjoy the smell, sigh or something
  • Start laughing hysterically at nothing at all
  • Ask if you can push the button for other people and then push the wrong ones
  • Do the macarena

Dare to try?
Anymore to add?

Its time to let go

Nope, this is not some tragic love story. Just an example of how hard it is to let go of something that we’ve grown fond of. This is a story of my beloved maid. Yes, I don’t mind calling her beloved because she is close to me and the family. You see, I’m having a hard time believing that she is leaving soon. About 3 more weeks to go before she leaves us for good. *C* has only been with us for 3 years but we’ve all grown so attached to her. I couldn’t ask for a better maid.

With all the issues or problems we hear about maids nowadays, we would be very lucky to get a maid who we can trust and depend on. So now when I’ve found one, its just so hard to let her go. I know she doesn’t want to leave but she has no choice because of the ultimatum given by the husband. "Kalau kamu tak balik, aku cari perempuan lain". *Sigh*. But I cannot be selfish. This is something she has to sort out with her husband and I don’t want us to be the reason if something bad happened to their marriage.

*C* took care of D* since she was 2 months old. They have a special bond and I know D* loves her very much. I remembered when I first took *C*, I was adamant that no way will I allow a maid to be close to my daughter. Of course there was the fear that my baby would love the maid more than me. I started off wanting to do everything for D* which added to more stress, pain and pressure especially when I got back to work. I felt it was like a competition..."who does D* love the most?". But slowly, I realised that D*’s feelings for me would never change. Sure, they are close but D* still jumps with joy everytime I come back from work. And she still cries for me...so I guess thats evidence to show that things don’t change. No one can separate the mother-daughter bond.

Some people may say, don’t simply trust your maid. I don’t simply trust her...She’s earned the right to be trusted. We treat her like one of the family. Maybe thats why we get along so well with each other. I’m not a fussy employer and there was never the need to tell her off. I don’t know how she manages to do all these good things. She doesn’t need to be told what to do, she’s very hardworking, she’s soft-spoken, kind-hearted and what I love most about her is that she is sooo patient.....soooo patient with the noti, noti little D*. I have to admit I sometimes just give up when D* starts getting hyper-active...and as always, C* is ready to the rescue.

My utmost fear right now is whether D* will be ok when *C* is gone. We have started telling her that *C* is leaving but we’re not sure whether she understands. The other day *C* told her "D*, Kak *C* nak balik tau..". D* replied "sorry *C*..I’m sorry *C*". I guess she thought *C* meant if she was naughty again, *C* would go back. Kesian pulak...

So now we are busy looking out for a new maid. But its kind of hard because we keep comparing back to *C*. Many questions comes to mind...Will she be as good as *C*? Can she get along well with D*? I guess we can’t be too sure kan? I've been lucky all this while and now I just have to be prepared for any problems that may come. Its one of those risks I have to take.

Extreme Makeover

Did you guys read ‘The Star’ yesterday? There’s this particular article which gave me the shock of my life. Ok..maybe thats a bit of an exaggeration but still..I was kind of surprised. If you have been keeping abreast with the latest development in plastic surgeries, then maybe you know about this already. Maybe its just me who’s been ignorant to the world of science or probably I lived under a ‘tempurung’ all this while. Hehe...

You know how some women go through drastic measures (well, maybe not that drastic some women) to beautify themselves like botox, liposuction, nose job,tummy tuck, breast enlargement and what not? Well, I just got to know there’s this new trend in America (where else, huh?): Vaginal reconstruction including hymenoplasty.

My first reaction to this was "What the *toot* is that?". Well...apparently it offers patients new virginity. Women who go through this ‘revirgination’ procedure will undergo hymenoplasty, which involves reattaching the hymen (*ouch*) . She will be able to improve her sex life or enjoy a second honeymoon.

My second reaction to this was "WOW! We can do that now??" Amazing!

Girls who lost their virginity before marriage and maybe afraid to tell their soon-to-be husbands (assuming its not the same guy) would be jumping with joy to hear this latest development. I guess its easier now because they can show they have no sexual history. There was this lady in the article who shared that she underwent the surgery as a special gift for her husband on their 16th wedding Anniversary. She wasn’t a virgin when she got married and thought the best gift to give him was ‘revirgination’. "It was a real sentimental gift, it was something I could recreate for him and he was thrilled" she said.

The American Society of Plasttic Surgeons claim that vaginal surgery is one of the fastest growing trends in plastic surgery. An owner of a Health and Beauty Centre in New York explained that "Hymenoplasty is for women who want to please their husband or their lover and they know he wants to experience intercourse with a virgin".

I was really surprised with that statement. I mean, I know the first time is important but after a few years, do guys really wish their partners were virgins again? To tighten things up, I understand..but virgins again?

I don't know.....One thing’s for sure, not really interested to try all these plastic surgery procedures. I like to assume that my loved one is satisfied and pleased with me..inside and out. And hopefully it will remain that way for a very long time :)

Decision

Whats new at work? Nothing..The same old boring things to do. This year is gonna be a busy year for me. Not looking forward to that. Had lots to do today but somehow I had one of those "can’t be bothered" syndrome. Hehe..Managed to squeeze in a bit of surfing time and came upon this.

Not sure if this is some kind of personality test but every answer has its reasoning.....

A company was hiring new staff. One question in the written exam was:

You are driving your car in a wild stormy night. You pass by a bus station, and you see three people waiting for the bus:
1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
2. A doctor who had once saved your life.
3. A man/woman you have been dreaming to be with.

You can only take one passenger in your car. Which one will you choose?
Please explain your answer.

Think about it before you continue reading.

You could pick up the old lady. She is going to die, and thus you should save her first. You could take the doctor, because he once saved your life. This will be the perfect chance to pay him back. However, you could always pay the doctor back in the future, but you may never be able to find the perfect lover once you pass this chance.

Decision...decision...

The candidate who was eventually hired (out of 200 applicants) did not have to explain his answer.
WHAT DID HE SAY?

He simply answered: "Give the car key to the doctor. Let him take the old lady to the hospital. I will stay and wait for the bus with the man/woman of my dreams."

Sometimes, we would gain more if we were able to give up our stubborn limitations.

Hmmm...What would you have done?

card junkie

I’m a sucker for membership cards. My wallet cardholder already bulging at its seams. Last week, I received my new permanent PriorityClub card. It’s actually one of my hotel cards...ni semua boss I punya pasal. He told me to make the most of my company trips. For PriorityClub, I gain rewards if I stayed at Crowne Plaza hotels or Intercontinental hotels and resorts. Before that, my boss insisted that I join Hyatt Gold Passport club. So I diligently filled in the application form. All this happened during my trip to KK and Kuching last year. And then when it’s time to check-in at the airport, he asked me "Ey ! You don’t have an Enrich card ?" When I grinned sheepishly, he gave me that isk isk look.. "When you get back to the office, go to MAS website and fill the form". Aye aye boss ! Other than those two cards, I already have MarriottRewards (for staying lots of times there because of Forums) and Le Meridien’s Moments card.
Actually, I’m not really into hotel rewards card simply because I seldom travel and I hate sleeping in hotel’s room. Gives me the creeps. However, I have no qualms having other memberships card. For instance, last Friday I applied for a Clarins membership card. I purchase Clarins treatment oil and foot lotion so I might as well apply for the card and collect points every time I buy their products. Let’s see, in cosmetics and fragrance category, I have SK II and L’occitane. I used to have Shiseido You card but I didn’t renew it since I don’t use Shiseido anymore. Once, I applied for The Body Shop’s People card but it’s too exploiting for me to maintain. I have to collect 300 points within 6 months in order for me to get a RM30 rebate. If I don’t have enough 300 points, I can’t carry forward and the points will be forfeited. Zalimnya !! Since I’m not an avid Body Shop user, I refuse to apply for the next one. Not worth it. SK II lets me accumulate my points for a year and at least their redemption scheme is sensible. L’occitane is the best, although their products a bit pricey than Body Shop, I do enjoy 10% discount for every purchase I made and get to accumulate points. If I don’t have enough points to redeem their products, I can have RM10 - 20 rebate for my next purchase.. I don’t exactly remember.
I also have Isetan, Metrojaya and BonusLink cards. Among these three, the easiest for me to accumulate and redeem points is Metrojaya. At one point of time, I went crazy over Somerset Bay and East India clothes and bought them as if there’s no tomorrow. I even bought my bedsheets, pillow cases set, sham cover set, the whole works for my wedding there. To make it even better, I bought my SK II in Metrojaya too. For two years in a row, I received RM100 rebate from Metrojaya. Not bad, huh ? Compared to Isetan, the highest rebate I got so far is RM23 for accumulating more than RM 600 but less than RM 800 within 6 months. For my effort, I receive 3% rebate..Hai kedekutnya Jepun ni.. Last 6 months, I manage to accumulate 1540 Isetan points. That’s my highest and times 5%, I manage a lowly RM77 rebate than Metrojaya. Isetan pun buat perangai macam Body Shop jugak - points to be collected within 6 months. As for BonusLink, I have nothing exciting to buy in Parkson so my points hardly reach 1000 - for every Parkson purchase, I can only accumulate 50% out of it. Furthermore, I don’t like going there cause I hate the chinese version of their grand sale’s song.. I don’t buy Shell petrol for my one and only nationalistic reason. Collecting points in Tesco is not worth it cos I’m able to accumulate points of 25% only...
What else do I have here...aaa yes, my saviour during car breakdowns - AAM card. My car is an old car so having AAM card is really useful when I couldn’t start the car - it’s always batteries problem. I also have hardly-used Mesra, Maxis One Club, Dome, Times Privilege, ING and Mexx cards. Previously before I got married, I used to diligently swipe my Mesra card. Now not anymore ever since I go to the office with mrjones. I don’t know why I received Maxis card, it just came. I applied Dome card after being talked into it by one of the waitresses. Times is because I don’t get discounts from Kinokuniya. Mexx came with Her World magazine for January issue. For Mexx, I can get 10% discount but I never step into that shop, it’s in Berjaya Times Square. I don’t go to BTS beacuse I have no burning desire to be there. I think I will be an avid user of ING card after my baby is born. I also have Clark Hatch card - I applied last September and I plan to freeze my membership due to my pregnancy.
Thank god, I’m not a sucker for credit cards. To date, I have four..banyak la jugak eh..? I have Citibank Silver Visa and Clear Mastercard. I use CTB visa for my shopping and mastercard for bill payments. Nasib baik we are allowed 2 types of card for a bank, kalau tidak, semua kad Citibank I nak apply rasanya... HSBC card is supplementary card from mrjones. I pun tak sangka boleh dapat.. Oh I know why..at one point of time, I love eating at Strudels up to the level that the staffs knew my face and my love for nyonya laksa. And HSBC cardmembers can get 10% discount at Strudels.. He got tired of me pestering for the card just so that I can enjoy 10% discount. Finally, I have Direct Access card because it’s FREE FOR LIFE..no annual fees, sista !! Oh, I use that card for my big ticket purchases because they have 0% Installment Scheme. I bought my digi cam and specs using the 0% plan for smarter personal cash flow management, heh heh..
Last two years, one MBf card sales bozo offered me their Gold card. He called my office phone and after being talked into it, I agreed to apply since they say that it’s free for life and I get to accumulate BonusLink points. When the card did arrive, I am so pissed with the RM2k credit limit. Gold card with RM2k credit limit ? I don’t think so !! Plus, I have to pay annual fees in subsequent years and only have the first year fee waived. @#$ %^&$%$#$#@ salesperson !!! They called me so many times to remind me to activate the card but it all fell on my deaf ears.
Then, the same thing happened to me last year. OCBC offered me their Platinum card called Titanium. They promo me baik punya..I stand to win one of holiday condo in Singapore, rebates for 3G phones, spa offers and if I spend RM6k per year, no annual fee incurred. I kan tak boleh dengar free for life punya annual fee, so I agreed to apply. What do I get in my mail ?? A stoopid Gold OCBC card which I have to pay annually for RM160, this time no first year waiver.. Satu kali lagilah - #&%*$#^?#@ !! What’s with me and these con cardsales ? They reminded me to activate the card once and I acted blur when they called me about it - "what card ?? I don’t receive any ?!" At least they gave me RM6k credit limit compared to MBf. I now sworn off credit cards offers simply because what I ask is what I don’t get. I’m quite happy with my current credit cards anyway so I don’t think I want to add another card to my increasing collection. Okay, maybe if I get another genuine offer of FREE FOR LIFE card, I might consider it cos I’m a suckerrrrrr.......
So now, with those cards plus MyKad, driving license, BCB atm cards, I think I need to buy another boxy wallet cardholder. That I have to wait after August, *wink*

"Trueblue, bila nak pindah ni??"

Yes..Yes...I have moved. I'm sure friends like Sweetpea must be jumping with joy. Hahaha.. Finally, huh?

God..I never thought moving to a new place was gonna be sooo hard. Asked me 2, 3 years ago, I'd have been so excited. But as the days got closer to moving time, I couldn't help but feel a weird sense of sadness. I guess I have been too comfortable and too attached to my family. I love my parent's house, I love my room, I love the neighbourhood, I love the peace and quiet. Its the place I grew up. Many memories. Sometimes its hard to let go after being so used to the comfort zone.

Packing the stuffs was ok. It was a good time to actually look through the crap I've kept throughout the years. A major spring cleaning so to speak. Kind of a good feeling and good reason to finally throw some of the irrelevant stuffs.

I know, people must think I sound pathetic. Hehe...But I spent most of my life in the house. When it was finally the day to leave, I spent the last few moments in my room..looking back at how empty it was. I knew I would be coming back but only as a visitor. And I'm pretty damn sure my parents are gonna store some of their stuffs in the room :).

I didn't think I was gonna cry but when we said our goodbyes that day, my mum's maid (Kak *S*) suddenly burst out crying. She was hugging D* and told her "jangan lupa makcik ye, nanti makcik rindu sama D*". I couldn't help but cry too. I knew how close she was with D*. She helped take care of D* from day 1. Then my mum started to cry. I wouldn't say we are a very close and lovey-dovey family but it was always a comfort to know they are always there in the house. D* got confused. Maybe thinking "apasal semua orang nangis ni??". Hehehe...Hubby had a look on his face as if thinking we have gone bonkers. He told me later "Bukannya pindah jauh sangat". I wanted to say "you wouldn't understand" but whats the point.

Oh well...its time to move on. Can't go on living with my parents forever, right?

The apartment is ok but a bit noisy coz we're facing the road. You guys are most welcome to come visit. But be warned, the apartment biasa je. Not as grand as Sweetpea's place. :)

Week 7-9 burn baby burn...

What a blissful day today... I woke up this morning without growling tummy and massive heartburns. Thanks to my chest being given a good ol’ traditional massage to let the wind out. For the first time after I know I’m pregnant, I can have lunch with my lunch kakis without having to run downstairs at 12pm. I have been experiencing growling tummy every hour despite everything I ate from rice to apples. And each time after I ate, I will get heartburns as if there’s a fireballs factory inside me that makes me break down and cry. My miracle is making me miserable....
Each time, I wailed to mrjones "what have I got myself into??", he would scurry all over places to find food to soothe my heartburn ranges from vitagen to ice creams to aloe juice. He even marched to Borders at The Curve and bought pregnancy books that writes extensively on heartburns. Each time he asks me what he can do to soothe my heartburn, I will answer back there’s nothing you can do beb..
According to the book, I am not supposed to get it now and I should be getting it in my third trimester. However, there are some cases where mothers-to-be do get them in first trimester and that includes me !! Heartburns in first trimester basically happen when my digestion process slows down and tummy acids stays longer thus causing heartburns. I can’t sleep at night plus having to get up frequently to pee. What’s infuriating is, everytime I managed to doze off after exercising mind over matter for heartburns, I will get the urge to pee. Dang it !!
Nothing pleases my mum seeing me getting half of what she got while she was having me back then.. Apparently for her, besides getting heartburn, all day morning sickness is the order of day for the whole of her pregnancy. You should be thankful cos you can eat bla bla...me, I just puke everytime I look at the rice. Six doctors attended me when I was carrying you bla bla... Okay, point taken, my condition is not as bad as hers and I shouldn’t complain profusely and be patient..
Hari raya yesterday, I look forlornly at those rendangs and nasi minyak. I wouldn’t dare touch them. In fact, on Friday before raya, I crave for nasi lemak that my colleague ate at the pantry so off I go to Cold Storage to buy one. Pre-pregnancy, I would rate the sambal as mild. Being pregnant, as a result of that stupid sambal, I get heartburns that last me for the weekend. Now, I’m getting smarter by avoiding all kinds of chilli and food with spices, not even a tinge of pepper. Mum cooked daging masak kicap for me and toddlers (those nephews and nieces that came yesterday). How embarassing !! My food is reduced until to that level.
How am I going to cope with kenduri balik haji in Penang early next month ?? What can I eat there ?? You know their standard food, heavily laced with spices...Nasi briyani, dalca, curries, masak merah... At the moment, I subsist on soups, fruits, milk and kicap-styled dishes. I’m thinking of asking my mum to cook me some daging masak kicap to last me for 4 days there.. Borrsss... I hope I can find myself in Penang some noodle soups in between daging masak kicap.
Alamak! as I'm writing this, I teringin pulak ikan bawal goreng panas-panas, drizzled with soy sauce and fried shallots.. Yummm, must ask mum to make one tomorrow.

to trueblue, what bad person ?? u get urself pregnant when u're ready. i thot im ready to get pregnant but baru kena heartburn, dah sibuk ckp kat hubby im going into antenatal depression.. to my frens, thanks for all your doa for me..

Sorry seems to be the hardest word

"I’m sorry". Sounds like a simple word. You think? What about "Please forgive me". How hard really is it to say you’re sorry? Do you take forever to do it or you don't even think twice about saying it? Maybe how soon you apologise depends on the situation. So, which type are you?
  1. If you know you did something wrong, you’ll quickly apologise. There’s no question about it.
  2. You know its not your fault but you can’t stand the silence or you can’t stand that person being angry/hurt, so you apologise anyway. You apologise because you feel "takpelah, I mengalah". You apologise because you feel whats the point of arguing for so long.
  3. You had an argument. It may or may not be you’re mistake but you’re too embarrased to say you’re sorry anyway. So you just let it pass..don’t talk about it and act as if nothing happened. You wait until the other person talks to you. If that person brings up the subject, then maybe you’ll apologise.
  4. Me? Apologise? Never!! I’m too proud. Nothing is ever my fault.

"Sorry’ is a powerful word. None of us really enjoy finding ourselves in a situation of saying sorry to anyone, but every one of us has had to say it periodically. It is a natural reaction for many and yet a huge obstacle for only a few. An honest apology can mend relationships , dissolve anger, soothe shattered pride or heal a broken heart. Avoiding an apology makes relationships more strained and it can reveal something negative about you. Being incapable of apologising can be a real character flaw.

I always remind myself to apologise immediately if I did something wrong. But I also have a tendency to apologise too soon. Sometimes in mid argument, I would just apologise because I can’t be bothered to prolong the fight. I hate silent treatments. I absolutely detest that situation. So I tend to give in, make the first move and apologise. Even when I know that I didn’t do anything wrong. I think its true when people say that women have a tendency to over-aplogise.This is something that I need to learn to avoid.

If you’re in the wrong and you want to make sure you’re apology is ‘successful’, you need to be regretting your actions, take responsibility for them and be willing to remedy the situation. If two parties are equally at fault, it's still up to one person to initiate an apology. After all, you need to take responsibility for your part. However, there is a chance that, despite your apology, the other person is simply too upset over what's happened and isn't ready to let it go. If our apology isn't accepted, we need to take solace in the fact that we've done all we can, and hope that in time the other person will come around. If not, we should still feel better for admitting our fault and for having had enough empathy to see how our actions have affected someone else. I really need to learn how to do this well. I have a problem with people accepting my apology if their facial expression or body language doesn’t actually show it. Its like saying "I’m sorry" and they reply back with a straight face "Hmm...yelah". I guess different people handle these situations differently. I must learn to accept that some people just need to take more time.

I make sure D* says sorry everytime she does something wrong. Even though she’s only 3, I don’t want her to think she can do whatever she wants. Of course sometimes she doesnt realise when she’s being naughty but I do scold her and explain her mistake. So when she does these things and I ask "What do you say, D*?".....She’ll reply "I’m sorry mama.....". She’ll give me a hug and all is well...until of course, when she’s naughty again...... :)

Sorry isn’t really that hard to say. You just need to have a ‘bigger’ heart.

Bye-Bye 2005

What? What? *blink* blink*After nearly 2 weeks of leave I refuse to believe I am back at work already!! *Still in the state of denial* Why does time fly by so fast when we are having fun? Sob-sob....

Although today is first day of work for 2006, I am officially declaring I am not gonna do any work. At least for today lah. I need time to get back to reality, recuperate and warm up my engine... Heheheh...Thank God SM is on Emergency Leave, so at least he won’t be bugging me today. The only other challenge is to avoid my manager. So far, he’s been sitting quietly at his desk. God knows what work he’s doing. Dedikasi sungguh boss I tu...

The first thing I did this morning, apart from checking the blog, is of course to check my email. After 2 weeks of leave, I expect to see loads of email. True enough, there was a long list of unread emails. I was thinking, "waa...so many emails...glamour jugak aku ni". Unfortunately, my ‘excitement’ wasn’t that long. Going through the list, I realised 80% of the emails were junk emails. Hmpphh....Buang masa je. And the rest of it were emails about work...Urghh...boring..boring...

By the way, since we are on the subject of babies, my sister in law is pregnant..again. And to think, she just delivered her son last April. God...that gives more pressure to me...

Oh well..better get back to doing nothing....

Happy New Year Everyone...Hope 2006 would be a great year for all of us.
