Unhappy shite

I saw popo yesterday n realised she has aged a lot. My mum said it's cos she's not happy. But why? There are so many things to make one unhappy but don't we forget e happy times alright?

Happy birthday ah bu! - should have posted on 11 June

My mum is 53 today. And I spent 7hrs of the day working at the laptop. We had a simple early celebration yesterday and I was late, because of work again. But the sense of satisfaction I get upon completing it is priceless. Yet, this is only the beginning. I have a few thousands dollars of claims that I have not submitted. There are more uncompleted work these days and 'tomorrow' is never enough to clear them. KL next week and Jarkata on my birthday's eve. Speaking of birthday, I have nothing in mind to buy myself this year. I don't need another bag. I thought of selling the Mulberry. And maybe the Kate Spades now.

Happy 28th to me!

Was a little emo the past few days and didn't think much of my birthday although I kept bugging Mr. Grumpy for a plan. I guess it's work and the trip to Jakarta on my birthday's eve and it didn't help to experience my worst turbulence so far! Well, I do have a birthday card from HS who's in HK and two birthday lunch treats so far and a celebration this Sunday but I thought that's pretty much it. After all, it's already the 28th.... Was hoping there would be a surprise cake, at least from Mac since the flight delayed and I reached home past 12mn. I walked in, scanned through, nothing. A little disappointed and grumpy and I went ahead to get ready for my shower. Because my wardrobe door is a little translucent I saw a Surprise Note tagged to a bag sitting on my clothes. Silly him didn't realise that my home clothes are in the bottom drawer so the translucent door saved him. I immediately opened my wardrobe and saw a Singtel thingy on top of the ba...

Celebrate life

Life is so fragile. A family friend's dad passed away suddenly a few days ago. And I thought it's heart attack or something. Nothing. He just didn't wake up. Imagine talking/seeing/sleeping beside someone the day before and the next day he/she is gone. Just like that. How sad can that be? I can't even imagine. Have you had words that were unspoken to someone dear? Do you have things that will be done 'tomorrow' or 'one day' just not 'today'? Life is such... Celebrating my 28th year this Friday and I'm really thankful for everything that has happened in my life so far. Had my 1st birthday cake yesterday, thanks to my SIL. Received my 1st birthday card today, thanks to HS. More to come :)

Travels

Have been at least once a month still since last Oct. Thanks to personal trip in May. Let's see how long it stretches :) Jakarta & KL in a few weeks time and maybe it will stop next month onwards.

Last week of May & first week of June

A week without the boss was trying but we (not everyone of course) did our best I think. Mistakes were made and we learned from there. 'Taking care' of the team is tiring especially when there are people who are, well, incompetent. It boils down to having the right attitude I believe and it's that arrogance and the I-know-it-all mindset perhaps that stops one from putting in effort to work as a team, to even work well as an individual. I've tried to maintain my peace but time and time again, someone is just testing my limits. I really have no time to babysit and to have someone messes up my workflow. Let's fix this asap shall we? On the first day of June - OMG! It's already June!, our dear nephew finally arrived! We were the first (other than his parents) to greet him and he's a smart little chap. Eyes were wide opened and didn't look like he just arrived an hour ago. May you grow to be healthy and brought up the way your parents want you to b...
