MAAL HIJRAH - THE MUSLIM NEW YEAR

No, I am not talking about religion here. Suffice to say Happy New Year to the Muslims all over the world. Unfortunately, I have to work today. On a positive note, no one in the office and I am free to procrastinate and do whatever I want to do in the office...ok...almost..

I am doing my last tender proposal for 2008 or the 1st for the Muslim year 1430. I even left my parents and brother who are visiting me. But I spent time with them yesterday. So, I guess I'm cool.
What to do for the rest of the year? I don't know yet. I hope 1430 will be a great year. I hope 1430 will be the year of pure happiness. bla bla bla...
Well, i thought i drop a few lines before I continue to make this office like my 1st home.
Enjoy the holidays people.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I don't celebrate Christmas. But I want the holiday he he. So, it doesn't matter whether I celebrate or not, I will not go to work on this day. It was sad that some 'stalker' in my office sent me the only Christmas wish last night. No one asked me out, but the best part was, I was peaceful. The night was almost as quiet as Christmas nights in cold countries. Well if you are in the cold that is. But I am not in a cold country. Once upon a time, some Italian Family that I used to know said to me, "You should not be alone on Christmas!". I beg to differ. It was awesome. I got to pick my zits. I got to stare at lights of the apartments nearby. I got to watch the DVDs...uninterrupted. What a treat. Tomorrow is going to be another busy day for me at the office unlike other people whom have nothing better to do than to take holidays. I learnt thats some people at the office got nothing better to do with their time even when there are million things to do, still wanted to make other people's life miserable by spreading stories around and upset people along the way. I am just so grateful that I am away from those bullshits. Today, I am enjoying the joyous day of the birth of Christ by watching more uninterrupted series on my DVD and lovig every second of it. Wishing everyone who happened to read this miserable blog a very happy christmas and stop making others miserable. Pick your own zits. He he.

I BROKE DOWN

I broke down and cry today. For whatever reason, I succumbed to fate that I couldn't hack it. I hadn't been getting much sleep and I was simply physically tired. There was way too much to do, too little time and too little help or none at all. I didn't even have the time to eat. Now that sucks big time. The remarks that some people made, made me angry at the same time sad. I had put my heart and soul into things but those hard work was not appreciated by some people...this is when I was supposed to say C'est La Vie...but I wasn't in the mood. I work too much. I think I better slow down a little and start to enjoy what surrounds me and what matters. I sobbed..then help started coming in. Amazing what unleashing of frustration can do. All the sudden, the whole office started to 'move'. People started to answer phonecalls and life begins again. I should cry more often. Yukh.

STAYING BACK IN THE OFFICE

I do spend a lot of time in the office. Yes, I do have a lot of work to do. I am not complaining at all. But I am organising some trip to the UK for some high ranking government officials. There are simply a lot to do. Hotel bookings, flight tickets, programs, letter this and letter that. I am a full fledged letter writer for some people. I suck at letters, but I don't know why people love to ask me to write letters for them. I hadn't been out of the country for a while so I don't even know whether I quite hack it for this task. There are way to many loose ends that I stick my neck out for them. My back hurts, maybe because the age thing or maybe because of the freaking high heels I had been wearing all day and all night long *sigh*. I haven't had dinner and my stomach started growling big time. I smoked more than half pack of ciggies. My lung is definitely filled with CO2.
For this trip, I don't even have time to shop for 'warm' clothes and they said it is getting colder in London. Our business partners almost gave up on us to organise meetings since we do things the last minutes. I am excited about this trip at the same time nervous since I could detect some eyes were looking at me and waiting for me to fall hard on my ass oops arse (since I am going to the UK, I should be familiar with the lingo). We just wait and see. The challenge of bringing the troop of 20 people with 1st class arrangements made me shiver just thinking about it.
It's getting late and I am ranting again...

PUTRAJAYA-THE LAUGHING DAY

Today is a big day. Today, I am the dispatch. Today, I had to distribute some letters to the Ministry of Finance, EPU and ICU. I went to the Prime Minister's department to go to EPU. A brought with me a collegue. She was very helpful. I reached the guard house and he said that for one letter, I was in the right place. But for the other letter I was supposed to go to the building next door. Bummer. We then dragged our feet to the B5 and the guard there said;"Oh, Dato' so and so is in the building next door". My collegue and I looked at each other and then laughed. We moved to the next building. There were two guards by the name of Razali. We laughed again. After delivering the letter, we then moved to the next building complexes where the Prime Minister's office is. We walked in, there were scanner like those in the airports. We laughed when again when there is a notice said,"Out of Order". Hmmm...I was thinking, today, if I were to bring weapons, I would have succeeded since no one gives a shit. But then again...probably it was just that day. We walked in further...no one was in the office. I yelled, "Hello!!!" no one replied. We went up to the pantry and there's this one guy who was eating looked at us in horror. We saild,"Relax, we are just here to deliver a letter to your boss". After that we both laughed again and made our way to the car. I parked illegally and yes I had that summon from Putrajaya Holding. We both laughed again.
We had our lunch and headed back to the office. My feet hurt. Those high heels are not good for long walk let me tell you. But I was happy with the dispatch work. All I need to do is wait for their replies.

WHY I STARTED THIS BLOG

This year, I turn 40. Yes, I was born in 1968. The year of the monkey. If you read the horoscope, feng shui yada, yada, yada, monkeys usually the ones who have more fun. I concur. Most of the time, I was the one who had the most fun. On many occassions, I would be the one who had no complaints about parties and events. I love the food, the drinks, the activities, the people around and the music. Emotionally, people been accusing me of hormonal imbalance due to me being single and never been married before. I must admit there were lonely and empty times. But there are times when I am grateful that I don't have to worry about hurting people. The reason why I start this blog because of a recent death of a schoolmate whom I didn't make an effort to contact and when I started to make the gesture it was already too late. It dawned on me that life is really too short and I have reached that juncture in life that it is more difficult to get up in the morning and it is easier to gain weight over a simple meal....so here I am...trying to log some events onwards while reminiscing the past.
