Enough already!

I have been doing something irritating for the past 3 days and it happens at the exact same time during sahur. Without realizing, while eating, my mind starts to sing “Saya anak Malaysia”. Don’t ask me why it’s that song. I have no idea. But one thing’s for sure..it’s really driving me nuts!!

No, I don’t have anything against that song or the singer. But, having to hear myself singing it throughout sahur time, isn’t exactly what I call a jolly good time, don’t you think?

The weird thing is I can’t control it. It comes out of the blue. Tengah sedap mengunyah, suddenly a voice from inside my head starts to sing..
“Saya anak Malaysia
Saayaaaaaaa…anak Malaysia
Saya anak Malaysia
Saayaaaa..anak Malaysia”

And it goes on and on and on. Arghhhhhhhhhh…Enough already. Let me eat in peace!

Now that I think about it, it’s actually quite creepy. Why the song? And why do I have to sing? Hmm..maybe its one of those Misteri Nusantara things. Yikes!

I miss you...

I don’t know why but I thought about you today.

You’ve been gone for 2 years now but I still think about you from time to time.

Why did you go? Did I do something wrong? Did we do something wrong? You left just like that. Do you have any idea how worried I was? God, just thinking about it makes me so angry. Its not fair....You left without saying goodbye.

I miss you.

I miss our alone time together. I can talk to you about anything. You were such a great listener. We had a special connection. When I touched you and we looked into each other’s eyes, its a silent way of saying "I love you for who you are". You didn’t have to say anything. Your presence alone has always been very comforting.

But you left. Why?

Were you dying and didn’t want me to see or feel the pain? You should know me better. I would have taken care of you.

My mind has been going round and round thinking about what happened to you.

I have learnt to accept the fact that you are not here with me. But it doesnt mean that I have stopped thinking about you. I’ll always treasure our good times together.

Where ever you are, I hope you are happy. I also hope that you have been thinking about me.

I love you, Miaow...

Yes, my friends. In case you are wondering, Miaow is my beloved cat who suddenly dissapeared 2 years ago. And today, I just miss her like crazy.

The day Trueblue felt like a zombie

I can’t remember the last time I really, really, really had a good sleep. Oh wait....give me a few more minutes to think about this... Ahhh, yes...maybe it was the time the girls and I went to the spa at Plaza Sri Damas. Yeah, that was it. I remembered coming back home and had the best nap ever. I woke up feeling fresh and rejuvenated! But hey, that was way back in January. So long ago maaaaaaaahhh...

These past few days I have been having trouble sleeping. Maybe I’ve been thinking too much about things like the ever increasing workload coming in and a few other stuffs. The other night I even had a scary dream and woke up whimpering. I couldn’t sleep back after that. I have been tired and exhausted but I guess not tired enough to just simply fall asleep. I hate it when this happens. My body says ‘go to sleep’ but my eyes just doesn’t want to shut. Urghhh...

Usually I have to read a book to make me fall asleep. But last night it just didn’t work. I was half way through my story book and still wasn’t sleepy. Thought I should watch tv but just wasn’t in the mood. I didn’t know what else to do. I ended up just staring at the ceiling until my eyes got tired. I think I finally dozed off about 4am. My alarm clock rang at 6.15am and I didn’t have the energy to wake up and go to the office. And now I feel like a zombie. Been yawning every 5 minutes.

A straight 6-8 hours sleep without any interference is what I would call a great sleep. I am a light sleeper. Once there is a distruption, I will have a tough time to fall back asleep again. Unless I am really, really tiredlah. Thats why I really value my sleeping hours. I’ll get cranky when I don’t have enough sleep.

Maybe I just need to make it a habit of visiting the spa. I guess my body is aching for a good massage. I should book a time before the fasting month.

Can't wait :)

*Giggle giggle*

Juggling 4 projects at one time with Big Boss breathing down your neck every other day or so isn’t exactly what I call a fun time. With the many things going on, I got pretty annoyed when Boss asked me to attend a presentation which wasn’t top priority at the time.

It was Friday evening and I was looking forward to just taking my own time to finish off what’s left of the week. True enough, I wasn’t able to give my full attention. I just couldn't be bothered. I was amazed to see Jehan (who sat beside me) listening attentively. Gosh Jehan, how do you do it?

After about 10 minutes, I got bored and started passing notes to Jehan.

Me: I’m bored
Jehan: Me too
(Hah! Berlakon rupanya dia..)
Me: I’m not even listening to him. What the hell is he on about? Why can’t I concentrate?

Jehan: Its ok. Just imagine that he’s Ricky Martin singing "Livin La Vida Loca".

*giggle giggle*

We went back to listening to the guy.

5 minutes later.....

Me: Eh, you notice tak dia cakap sambil tutup mata?
Jehan pinched me and we *giggled-giggled*

Jehan: A’ahla...Why la like that?
Me: Maybe he needs to imagine what he’s talking about...

Both of us looked back at him and *giggled-giggled*

We ended up not being able to look at the presenter for fear of bursting into laughter. It was quite hard to control and be discreet about it as there were only 5 of us in the meeting. I know its bad to laugh at people but we couldn't help it. The guy is ok when he talks normally but everytime he starts presenting, he’ll close his eyes like every 2 sentences. It was as if he was trying to picture his words. And he looked so passionate while doing it. I don’t know, to me it felt really weird. It was really distracting my attention.

Boss gave us a nasty stare and had the look as if saying:"What are you girls laughing at??". Seeing how boring the whole presentation was, I bet Boss was just jealous and secretly wishing "I also want to join the fun". I know you, Boss..you don’t have to pretend....

Well, serves him right for asking me to attend the presentation.

*giggle giggle*

A thought to ponder

"Its better not to care too much or you might end up getting hurt."

What say you?

Attention all shoppers....

What’s up with people who cannot understand simple rules and instructions?

I believe the signage is very clear:

"Express counter: Only for 10 items and below"

But nooooo....some shoppers act as if its their own supermarket. Buat perangai sesuka hati and queue up at the counter with their shopping cart full of stuff!! Of course, me being me, always try to think good things of people..I told myself.. "maybe she didnt notice the signage". So, I say nicely and pointed to the signage "excuse me, this counter is only for 10 items and below". And what did she reply? Nothing. She just looked at me from top to bottom and simply turned away. Aikk?? What the toot is this? Sungguh kurang sopan. Am I that non-existant? I was close to strangling her!

Hey, I know the other normal counters have longer queues but too badlah. It doesn’t mean you can simply queue at the special counters. They built that counter for a reason...you dingbat!

I don’t know, what do you think? Should we add on more details to the signage like "Please, please..we beg you..this counter is only for shoppers who are in a hurry. Please be considerate.... Either follow the rules or we’re gonna kick your ass!!".

*Trueblue rolls her eyes big time*
