8.00am - I was already in the office. Bought nasi lemak and 2 magazines for breakfast. Yup, I eat & read equally a lot ;-)
9.00 am-12.00 pm - work, work, work..
..Then the focus ended when I saw FOOD being prepared at the lobby area for our Human Excellence celebration. (this is one occasion where we have makan2 to celebrate our birthdays)
12.00 - 1.00 pm - work a little, talk more ;-)
..and the makan2 started...yeay!! We had a wonder-full plate of nasi hujan panas each, and superb sliceS of Butter Scotch cakes from Secret Recipe. Yummmie!! It was nice eating with my buddies who have good appetite just like me. And we didn't forget to pose to Ina's camera with our sweeetest smile. I only realised that even tonite I still do not know whose birthday we celebrated today... hmm... I'm so sorry, but Happy Birthday, somebody!! (I think there were more than 10 of them)
Oh yeah, just before that wonderful lunch... I came to know that Nayli made it to the Accountancy matrix programme!! Alhamdulillah..that's my girl ;-)
2.00 - 6.00 pm - Didn't I WORK, WORK, WORK? (And ate some kerepek with Aina)
No wonder I didn't finish my Shariah proposal paper... Ooh, I better behave tomorrow and clear some of those papers. Anyway tomorrow's Friday...then comes the long weekend. Thanks to Labour Day, ngeh ngeh ngeh ;-)

My little prayers...
In the past few years, I have seen a couple of my close buddies going through a tremendous improvement in their lives. N has actually moved house twice in the past few years. She was living in a condo when she had her first child. Then they shifted to a beautifully renovated link house in an exclusive housing area. And not long after, after giving birth to her 3rd child they shifted again..this time to a beautiful, million ringgit bungalow house in the same area. Not to mention the luxurious cars that she drives...I am so, so happy for her.
A, my other buddy who lives just nearby...had moved from her previous link home to a huge and beautiful "mansion" in the golf club. At one time, she almost had to sell-off her link house to offset the unpaid debts when the economic situation was really bad and business was down. But now, I bet she has everything in the world that she wants. She's just another lucky woman on earth ;-)
Hey, it's not their status that "wows" me...but its the angels they have in them. Despite the changes that they have gone through, they are still the same wonderful friends to me. They still act the same and talk the same girls' nonsensical stuff just like those days. And I observe that they have even became a better muslimah. N never failed to invite me to any of the usrah sessions held at her house. Despite carrying their Gucci and LV purses, both of them are actively involved in the Al-Quran reciting classes, Arabic classes etc.
I am so proud of them for the values that they uphold. I know the pain that they have gone through before... There was so much pain that they never thought life was gonna be this good. I believe that they have so much faith, and they have worked really hard to get to where they are now.
May Allah continue to bless them with all the great things. And may Allah give me the same strength and spirit to move forward for a better life..physically, financially and spiritually. The same dua goes for all my beloved ones. Although things may seem uncertain now..have faith, that one day..with the will of Allah the Almighty, we will achieve our dreams. Aminn..

Where have I been?
Oh, where have I been all these months? Everywhere, really. That's why updating even one post is so much a problem.. that's what happens when your heart is not there. When I'm made to write in the office 8.45 - 5.45 (and always later than that) day in and day out...my brain is already drained out by the time I reach home, and so is my body.
Nevertheless, some achievements have been accomplished. I go to gym twice a week at the least to fix that tired brain & body of mine again. Started with just walking at first, now running on the threadmills is kacang putih... then continued with cycling, up and down the "hills"...also kacang putih. So much I can brag... hahhaa... but the timing... 10 minutes for each ride, stop, pancit. Another 10 minutes, stop, pancit again... hahaha.. Aduyai, letih macam ni. Z will take all his time with his favourite machines so I always had to wait. But when he couldn't see me around, he knew just where to find me. At the massage chair, relaxing. Or at the couch,watching tv or reading ;-) Hmm, at least i tried..
Had a few trips in between too. My working trips to Jakarta continues until we complete the project.. I travelled to Jakarta once a month since February and the longest one last month (8 days) was really killing me. My phone bill hilled up to almost RM500 and I missed home like crazy. Hated it ;-(
Oh, but my holiday with Z and the kids to Hong Kong in February was fabulous. The feeling was very unusual when I see my kids enjoying themselves with us. No, this is not luxury and we have a mutual understanding that it's not. It's something that we gonna do only once in maaaaany years. And it's worth while because the kids really appreciated it ;-)

Off to Jakarta...
I'll be leaving for Jakarta today, later in the afternoon. Although not the first time to Indonesia, but first time to Jakarta... Excited? Worried? Tired?
= All of the above...
When I travel, it has always been for leisure. But this time, it's purely WORK. Work with tight deadlines. When the assignment was first given to me, I thought.. hey, this is not gonna be easy. Working with our counterpart in Jakarta is gonna be a totally new experience for me. But when I asked my big boss why he has chosen me, he said "I want you to know that there opportunities for you in this organisation. You are not young (ouchhhh!!), so grab this opportunity!!"
So I did. I'm taking this opportunity to move on, if not to move up (simply because "moving up" means more stress, so I choose to "move on..") hehe.
I'm all geared up for the tasks given. I've got my checklist ready. My things are packed last nite, except for some last minutes things like the toiletries that I'm gonna stuff in later... I'm almost ready for the 5 days trip ;-)
To Z and my kids:
I love you all very much. Thanks for the support and love you've given me. I'm gonna miss you very very much. But will be back soon to be in your arms again...

The Dream...
I had a weird dream last night...
I was driving my *supposedly new car, a sedan, maroon in colour...alone. Then suddenly there were two roads in front of me.. Not sure of which lane to take, my spontaneous reaction was to take the left one. Not long after, I realised that I had taken a wrong road as it was under a construction with lots of potholes and big drains on both sides. Realising that I could not go any further, I decided to turn back.
The road was a bit too narrow...so I had to reverse slowly to one side to turn back. Carefully..I did the best that I could...but NO... Ohhhh...ohhh NO, suddenly I felt that the car had plunged to the back...and my 2 rear wheels were already in the drain!!! Pheww...I was sweating in side out...but luckily I managed to slip out of the car with no trouble at all...
And...as I went out of the car, a little shocked with what had just happened...I called Z, my super hero over my handphone to come to my rescue. Somehow, the next thing I did was trying to lift my car out off the drain....
And, with very less effort, I actually lifted the car off the drain...and onto the road ALL BY MYSELF !!! Hahaha...amazing....wasn't that an accomplishment?! So when Z finally arrived with another friend, I was already standing next to my half damaged new car, calmly and proudly ;-)
So, what could the meaning of this dream be agaknya ya....
1. The authority should be blamed for not putting up a proper signage like "ROAD CLOSED" or anything like that... (yeah, I didn't see any signage at all, I swear!!)
2. I'm always uncertain when it comes to which road to take, unless the sign board is LARGE enough and can be read from far...(regardless of how often I have passed through the same road before....ngeh ngeh ngeh...)
3. Or...simply means that Z should start to worry.... with the fact that I have became very strong & gagah perkasa... If lifting the car is no problem, then lifting him is..... hahahaha.... that's for him to imagine ;-)

Looking superb
Thanks to hejab-rehab.com for sharing this post. I like the looks very very much, so stylish and yet still nicely covered. It's a whole true meaning to the phrase "dress to kill" for us, the muslimah ;-D.
Simply beautiful!
