IT'S AUGUST ALREADY

Ola!

Welcome to August. 2 more weeks? Ramadhan will come. Our Muslim friends will go fasting and the best part is, of course the Ramadhan Bazaar which is mostly reviewed and highlighted annually in this blog, haha.

2 more months, I'll be marking my 10th anniversary working at this place. I might be tormented and torn in pieces every day but at the end of the day, I would pick up the scattered me and put it all back together, ready to be tortured mentally and physically the next day. Damn. I love my job.

Domestic problem. It's a common thing to hear the attention seeker at home screaming and yelling but yesterday, it really challenged our level of patience that I almost took my girl ran away from home when I saw my SIL took her kids rushed away from home. Guess what? That old lady screamed more with like a 3 years old kid with tantrums which was so embarrassing to hear when considering the neigbours that are living nearby.

Stressed out? I learn this from Mom. When you can't do all the chores at one time, go slow. Take your time to do so. One step at a time, eventually the chores will be completed.

Move out? Nope. It's not time yet. We have to really consider other things - financially stable and if we are then some hearts might be broken to see us leaving. We have to do it, since our hearts are tormented day by day, I can't take it anymore. Luckily, I have Twitter to pour all my agony and resentful feelings.

Thus, I hate to be at home. I am lucky to have food business to do at night which can cut down my time being at home. Tired? I can't complain. I chose to do it. Yes, I sleep less than 5 hours every night, almost every night. There will be time when I feel so fresh after shower that I would go to sleep at 2:30 a.m., and then wake up at 6:00 a.m.

Facing demanding boss and work as a P.A., with a crazy witch at home, 2nd job at night, I have to focus on each, every single thing I do. What a Superwoman I am! Phewww!!

I still find my life manageable except I miss my girl and my Mom so much. These two days, we had quality time together, Papa, Gabby and I. We spend my time with Gabby in her room - doing all girl stuff but Gabby loves the laptop more!

Jeez... I hate to share about domestic problems here. Pfftt.... I hate it.

FAREWELL PARTY FOR KAK SHAIRAH

She's bidding farewell to us last week after serving for more than 35 years. A loyal friend, she's like a mother to us, meet Shairah Tahir. We call her 'Kak Saerah'. Apart of being funny, she has all the good qualities possessed as a mother. As a results, all her 5 children, (4 boys & 1 girl) are graduated from university. A real housewife can do that but she's a career woman plus the untold stories of her furthered studies for the her promotion and I sound exaggerated! Haha. I really want to be like her, successful in both career life and as a wife (mom).



With her colleagues. Special goodbye gift from Nursing Division. Special person deserves special gift don't you think so?



Some friends who attended her small farewell party. Nursing Division initially was under Medical care programme so most of us were present. Still keeping in touch!



A party is incomplete without food. Yes, Matron Yati sponsored 'Kak Aza Nasi Lemak' the famous Hung Hung's Stall Nasi Lemak. Love the Chicken Rendang so much! Elfyna was helping herself with the yummy Nasi Lemak.



The only crazy guy joining us that day. Meet Gariey Sia. A new kid on the block joining the Lunch Hour Crazy Club. We were on the way to our room when we saw these lovely decorations for Gawai at the office lobby. Gariey grab the traditional hat and I snapped his picture.

The only thing that screwed this picture? He was holding two Kiwi fruits. Where got Iban eating Kiwi fruits meh Gariey?? Haha.

JUST ANOTHER HECTIC WEEK

This pic was taken at 7:25 a.m. today from my office window. What a beautiful and bright shiny day! Trying my best to put my self-esteem as high as today's sun and let my patience brights till late afternoon.

Boss just came back from Limbang-Miri-Kapit-Sibu trip and we had gone through a very intense Monday. Yelling and chuckling taking places but it never fade our quality of work. Tomorrow he had to sit for 3 meetings but was wisely delegated to another junior officer. Same goes to Wednesday. He's leaving the office again on Thursday and Friday for a meeting in KL. Boss, when I calculate the frequency of your flying, it's as frequent as you're taking a ride on a bus. Wow. I'm impressed.

Gabby had her Bahasa Malaysia tuition today. She looked exhausted and sleepy. I'm OK with the weather today and thanks to Boss who kept me busy till the final dot at 5:00 p.m. No cooking for tonite as my nephew, Fitz is celebrating his 16th birthday tonight and everyone will be there.

Speaking of eating, it has come to my third week, cutting down my rice. I receive many compliments but still not satisfied yet. I don't wanna give up so early. Some says my face is getting smaller and so did my chest area, please don't tell me that my b**bs are sagging! Haha.

I don't want to measure - but I know that my bra is ain't that tight anymore. So do my skirts, oh yes, I worn my tight grey skirt last Sunday and it fitted me nicely. The most worrisome parts?? My arms and calves are 'melting'. I need to tone them otherwise I look like a melting Snow Man. Whenever I look at them, they look both scary and I am now starting to have that itchiness with bubbles (little bubbles).

Is that telling me that my fat is broken and I am downsizing slowly?

Dear God, please help me. +_+

TIPS: TRENDY WAY IF YOU ARE TOO LAZY TO WASH YOUR FACE!

OK. For those who don't normally go out for lunch will spend their time surfing internet, gossiping and the best is - afternoon nap! I normally take like 20 minutes nap before resuming at 2:00 p.m. Tido waktu lunch sedap weii!

But 20 minutes of nap sometimes leads your body to exhaust and you will feel drowsy. Some people will rush to the washroom to wash their face and for me, it's OK for the guys. For ladies, this will affect your valuable time as after washing your face you have to reapply your makeup again.

This is what I always do.

Hmm.. still feel drowsy and blur... check my face first. Any oil residue (minyak muka weh!) please wipe it off with facial tissue.

Then, take your compact powder and re-puff your face with it. Check your lipstick. Apply lip balm first then followed by lipstick or gloss for that kissable sexy lips. Cheh!

Finally. This is the most important. Pack yourself a facial spray. Get a cheap one like the one from The Face Shop, I bought it for RM15.00++. The one that I use in the picture is FIX + by M.A.C. - Feel fresher because the water itself feels so cold! Rejuvenating time! Aaaaaaaaaahh....

Sleepy?? Don't be.

YES, THERE ARE CHANGES AROUND

I miss to Facebook. My blog is rarely updated lately. Sekarang tengah fikir nak buat sempoi-sempoi bahasa saja. Saja-saja jerkkk... Ahaks. Yes, as long as I am updated right? Righhhhttt.....

New Year so far has given me a new boss and a new lifestyle. Talking about new boss, he's very handful. He's totally different from the others that I've handled before. Oh yes, kau pun kenalah menjadi sang labah-labah yang sungguh hebat kuasa multi-taskingnya untuk berjuang di meja L-shape ini setiap hari. Spiderwoman? Malulah pakai title tu, aku kan labah-labah gemok, mana dapat panjat bagai?



Lapar? Haus? This big packet of drinks always saves my day most of the times. This week, I cut down the soy bean drinks intake. Gula tinggi sey! So sekarang makan minum kena jaga, bak kata my Physician, "Diet is not about how much do you eat but what you eat" - sambil mengatur rambutnya yang ala² Posh Spice itu.



Oh, how tired I am. Kan beruang-beruang Koala? Luckily today there's no business on. Hey, gotta leave you guys now. I have to accomplish the minutes of meeting. Actually, there are 2 meetings plus another 10 pages of documents to be retyped. I don't think that I'm losing weight but my fingers are getting stronger day by day dek kerana menaip terlalu banyak.

Lately, I've been thinking to move out from this unit. I've been here for 10 years. Been thinking to move to hospital. The question is, when am I going to take action?

So readers, I'm signing off now. Tata!

THE LATEST NEWS FOR SLU (SECRETARIES LIKE US)

Photo 1: Errkk.. stupid hair on my forehead. Hate curly hair. Let me handle the curl first. No curly hair allowed. Seriously.



Photo 2: Hepppp!!!! Ehh? NO. Wait! Eyes too small. Haha. No small eyes. *lol So sepet.



Photo 3: Yes. Eyes are bigger a bit. Haaa.. curly hair is hidden now.

Now we can do the talk.

Ignore the pics. I just wanna show you guys my first day of working in 2010 and to all my Secretary buddies, starting 1st January 2010, all of us who previously holding the post 'Pembantu Tadbir (Kesetiausahaan) N17 will be promoted to 'Setiausaha Pejabat (N27)'. Please refer to the latest circular (Please click)

Firstly, would like to congrats each other - finally.... Yes, we knew and we heard about some pros and cons against it. Personally, I am waiting for our officer to come back from KL, bringing along the good news whether the post is applicable at our department.

Salary wise, the increment is just for a hundred plus which is quite unfair for my batch. The starting salary for fresh secretaries post now is RM1400++ just few hundreds behind us who had worked for 10 years. Is it hard to push our salary to our current scale accordingly? We deserve to sit at the Asst. Admin Officer's post just like our friends from other courses, graduated from UiTM?

My dearest friends, don't worry, instead of the new increment, we'll benefit the ehem ehem, ITKA's allowance and for those who had served for more than 10 years will get 30 days annual leave plus other allowances - Perumahan, Trengkas Dwi Bahasa, Pembantu Khas and Wilayah. Cool ain't it.

Well, we're just waiting for the day. Can't wait to see some reactions from the hospital side. Most of the Secretaries working there are actually doing clerical works.

Shit. I've been dreaming the big 3 in front of my pay sheet next month which is actually a broken dream. Haha.
