Hello everyone.

It’s been quite some time since I last posted an entry. Been too busy with work and couldn’t find a time to squeeze in some stories. Haven’t even had the time to read other blogs. No wonder my life feels kind of empty lately. Hehe..Like real je.

So what stories shall I share today?

1.
Oh yes.. How can I forget about my dream last night? Nope, it wasn’t a wet dream or anything like that. No x-rated stories for you today. :) Anyway, I dreamt I was like Sydney Bristow (from Alias) and was in a fight with this bad, evil woman who in real life happens to be this person that most people around here are not quite fond of. So you can imagine how exciting it was for me to be able to kick her ass. It was so cool seeing myself doing all these kicks and punches…flying up in the air with all the acrobatic moves. Wow..I was so impressed with myself. And of course being the heroin of the story, I won! Now that’s what I call a kick ass dream.

I’ve been getting comments about being fat. The exact words being said are “you ni gemuklah”. Usually I don’t bother but when certain comments are repeatedly mentioned, you can’t help but start to wonder “how fat have I become?”. And of course, being human it sometimes does get to you. I know I’m no supermodel and don’t have that oh-so gorgeous figure that guys drool over but really, am I that fat? I mean, how fat? What are they comparing me against? To whom? What period? Before I was married? Before I had a baby? 1 year ago? 10 days ago? Ok, maybe I have put on a bit of weight after I had a baby but does that mean I’m fat? How fat is fat? I did calculate my BMI (Body Mass Index) and it does say that I’m still within the normal range. Maybe they’re just joking but surely there are some better jokes to tell. I certainly don’t say these things so I guess I don’t expect other people to say it to me. I mean I would never say out right to a person “you gemuklah”, friend or no friend. No matter how close. Not if it’s a joke and even if its true. If we say it out of concern for the person’s health, that’s a different story but even so, there’s still a nice way of saying it. Some things are better left unsaid, right? You guys may think I’m being overly sensitive about this but to me all of this is just common sense. Oh well, even if I am fat, what’s it to you?

We’re moving into the 2nd year of this newly-formed department and not much things have changed. Big boss is still at his crazy ways, being indecisive; keep changing directions, giving unnecessary remarks etc. We are really not motivated and it’s shocking that he has not noticed this. Or maybe he has and he’s just not bothered about it. Countless hints have been given, some have even openly provided feedback to him but still he doesn’t seem to care. We like our work but it’s just him we find hard to have chemistry with. Assignments get done, we work our asses off but its done out of loyalty to the department, to the other colleagues but not to him. It’s very common to hear the staff letting out their frustration and anger about him and this happens every day at the office without fail. Not really a good working environment to work at, huh? What else is there to do…either be patient about it and tolerate all the nonsense or start planning our next move now. As it is, we’re just taking it one day at a time, making best of what we have. Thank God I have great friends around me. Even with all the countless bitching, there’s still some laughter to share around. I guess that’s what keeps us strong each day.

Wish I had more time to write but I got to start work. Hope you’ll have a jolly good day.
Take care, you guys….
