-delete-

Write...delete... write... delete....

Symptoms of?? Could be writer's block (though I certainly wouldn't be calling myself a writer)... hahaha... then again it could also be due to this block of ice... sitting right where my heart is... hahaha... wow ... such words... so dramatic... :P

Ahhhh... what is life without drama right? What is the use of hearts if you don't get to feel hurt...pain or sorrow.... it makes you appreciate the good times better... and what's in a little tear now and then... it helps to clear your eyes...


Someone tweeted that what happens in life is Fate... and yes I do believe that... I also believe deep down that I'm strong... though mayhap not as strong as I should be, may God forgive me... but I know what I want and I know what I need... and so I pray to God that somehow, some way... I'll find me the way...

Lumut Trip

The office has planned an Away Day.. all the way in Lumut! We're staying in Swiss Garden (will review later)..

For now lemme just share my trepedition and bewilderment when I was told that I am to be part of the committee...hahaha actually I don't really mind the work since I actually love planning an event... but the thought of spending time away from Jellybean got me into an upset of mega proportions..   over I know..hahaha but I have never spent a night without her.. so it is inconceivable to me..

Added on to that.. I was told much earlier that during the performance review for 2012 it was requested that I had to participate as an emcee!! Oh m gee... hahaha me??! I can do it... (so I chanted for the past 3 weeks) but my nerves are freyed and I tried to find so many many reasons not to go...

But my sense of caution and survival (work place is a battle ground for small wormy like me I tell you!) :) kicked in... so this is what I did...

1. Begged..coerced and arranged for my sister and her family to come along.. brought both maids.. booked connecting rooms...
2. Prayed and jaga my voice during the drive towards Lumut... just recovered from bad cough and flu
3. Smiled and braved my way through the meetings and discussions
4. Connected with my emcee partner
5. Took charge and prepared a script for the night

So here I am in Lumut... drove for 5 hours.. over 200km..longest lone driving ever.. hehe it was kinda exciting..

Last night was my emcee-ing night.. and it went well... Alhamdulillah. .. as my partner said... jgn takut..takde sape nak marah pun... hahaha think the whole dept who knows me knows how quiet I am.. and how I hate being in the lime light...

But I kept in mind that no one is actually looking at me... people are bz eating and waiting for their turn to perform.. hehehe.. it worked... with prayers to God of course... my hand held steady (inside joke with my bff) and my voice was loud and clear...and script went well... err if not very interactive.. :)

Thats it.. for now ;)

Safe Haven - A Review

Safe Haven is written by Nicholas Sparks... and for those who knows this name well... am sure you watched The Notebook and loved it.. as I did...  :)

This is actually my first try at his book... and the story line was nice... Katie who had a dark past and still running away from it arrived at a small town and met Alex the local guy with 2 kids... the sparks were obvious from the start and there were numerous cute and funny moments that am sure anyone who fell in love can relate to.  :)

Seeing how 'thin' the book is... somehow for me it lacked the depth of feeling that such a story could evoke... I won't tell you more on the mysterious 'Jo' in the book... but it was a little scattered... as though there was more to that story.. but somehow got cut down... the plot was confusing... was it telling about the love story of Katie... the abusive relationship of Katie or the mysteries of after life..??? Hahahaha...

The portrayal of Katie's husband... Kevin was very real... and to that I could somehow imagine and somehow able to be there during his crazy moments and made me wonder... is this what abusive husbands go through in their mind?

Overall it was an ok book.. not something that I would read again..., but not a wasted effort of reading either...  am hoping that the movie would be better...

Something random...

An amazing whopping 2 kg... thats an amazing feat for someone who is actually trying to LOSE weight... not actually GAIN the weight... tsk tsk tsk...

Sorry for the beginning.. but that has been on my mind since Saturday... the day I had to weigh myself at the doc's .. hahaha... and yes am feeling sick... slight fever (though it was pretty bad on Sat).. mucous-sy..sore throat... the works... what's bad is that my baby girl got the germies from me!... sigh... sian baby... she's handling it well though....


Had a tired/pak pandir weekend... though yesterday was a quiet and nice day at Mid Vall with hubby and my chicky boom boom... :)

Friday was a blast at Sunway Lagoon... Baby girl had so much fund just lazying around the pool with Wayey who turned 4 that day... my does time fly by fast... We got there just before 12 and since its a Friday (weekday) there was no crowd to fight our way through to the front of the line. The tix was a crazy RM230 (2 adult tics; baby was free).... wish I could keep a straight face and say my maid was a Malaysian.. hahahah but it only meant of RM30 diff so was not worth my high blood pressure just from the thought of lying  :P

We managed to sneaked in some mangoes though thanx to my poker face maid... hahahaha... (yes it's still the same maid I used to complain abt dulu)... she hid it really well... sanggup 'investigate' how they did the baggage check just to know to hide it. And no... I don't make a habit of doing that... just that we though we'd be going to my sis's house first so we brought a lot of food with us... and 6 hours in the car may actually ruin the precious fruits.... oh well... any how we got in... fruits and even 2 bowls of 'cicah' intact... OMG... tsk tsk tsk....

So then like blind tourists... managed to fumble our way to the locker area and change into our swim suits... me in my very proper hijab outfit thingy (complete with tudung biru... hahahah if only the baju was  not pink!) so am sure I made quite a pretty sight... but baby girl was all cute in her yellow 2 pc...  :)

She was so excited that she basically thought she was a mermaid... wanted to spend the whole time in water... tsk tsk... she was so happy... that makes it all worth while... we spend the day till 6+ though Jellybean fell asleep... in WATER at 5.30... hahahah the funniest sight ever... I was holding her of course... she just loves the waves around her... or maybe it's mummy going up and down in the water... who knows... but it soothes her into a little overdue nap...

Food was ok in there... at much higher prices of course... so for 2+1 affair... gotta be prepared to dish out at least RM100 for a comfortable 1 day outing...
