No idea....

Hmmm.....Takde idea what to blog about. Padahal masa buat keja rumah, duduk duduk tengok tv, memacam rasa nak tulis. Tapi bila dah depan pc ni, cam beku kaku gitu. So I end up reading other people's blog. My latest interest is Arena's blog. Baru aje khatam baca blog dia...Hehehehe....So now every day, the list of blogs that I must must must read sudah bertambah. Ok..Lets see who else is on the list.

1. Mak Andeh & Brood (fun to read, lots to learn)
2. Mobilemom (I admire her courage and determination in fighting cancer)
3. Nadio (same as Mobilemom)
4. AuntyN, KakTeh, AuntyYan, and Sis Atenah's blogs : These I discovered from blog hopping from Mak Andeh' s blog.
5. Afdlin Shauki : discovered from blog hopping from Nadio's blog
6. NajahNasseri : admire her way or writing. Excellent !
7. Latest one : Arena (seronok gitu baca, beb !)

Ha !!! Tu ler kerja aku hari hari sekarang ni...except masa hari cuti sebab no internet connection at home. Kalau working days, semua tu dah jadi wajib dibaca, selain daripada online newspapers....:D

Things to do in January...

I was checking my 2006 calendar just now. January itself dah ada quite a few events to attend. 3 January, my eldest girl's first day in school. Ada some sort of orientation day. Tadika pun ada orientation ek...Her daddy and mommy will be there to see things out and sort a few things out as well. Then 4, 11 and 18, need to take my youngest girl to her session at Kiwanis. This time her session is much longer than year 2005 session. It used to be half an hour but this coming year will be 40 minutes. A lot more to learn for mommy, daddy and my little princess. 12 January need to attend induction course at Jalan Kelang Lama. One day course....Eii...Dragging my feet nak attend tu...Mak and ayah will be coming back from Haji on 24 January. Wish I can be there to take them home....Tapi apakan daya...Cuti ku tak mengizinkan...I'm saving my leave for my sister's engagement day, probably somewhere in February. Even Raya Haji nanti pun, most probably we'll be in KL, raya rumah sedara maralah kan...Hmm..there goes the agenda for January. Wonder what else to come now..:)

Takziah...

Ayahanda kepada my fellow blogger, JBMari, telah kembali ke rahmatullah awal pagi tadi. I was shocked when I got the news.It was sent to my office email this morning. (JBMari and I are working for the same company, just different branch). It was hard to believe, I waited for another Colleague who knows him just to confirm the news. Then I sent an sms, expressing my deepest sympathy and condolence. To dear H, be strong. Kuatkan semangat. Banyak-banyak berdoa, semoga rohnya ditempatkan dikalangan orang orang yang beriman. Al-fatihah....We'll talk again soon. You take care bro !

Mommy over excited !!!

Spent the weekend scouting for my eldest girl's kindergarten. She'll turn 4 March next year. How time flies...

She was so excited about going to school. Been bugging his mommy and daddy to send her to school. She's been exposed to school since she was a little girl coz my uncle is a retired teacher and my cousin is a teacher. Both are English teachers. (my uncle and aunty are baby-sitting my kids). They always brought her to the school; be it for evening activities or saturday activities. She enjoyed it very much, would tell me what she did at the school, who she met, what people asked her, etc...

So we brought her to two kindergartens around the neighbourhood, just to see what are available there, what's the facilities like, transportation, etc...She got the chance to wander around the kindergarten, play a little...Then...

She doesn't want to go home! She insisted that she wants to stay and play. We kept telling her that school is closed, will be opened later..."No...it's open. See ! There's a teacher here". Oh man !!! So, daddy had to promise her that we will go grab some ice cream after this. Then she made mommy carry her (read: dukung). Daddy carry adik, mommy carry Nia. Wah lau wei...Macam nak patah tangan aku dukung baby tua ni...

Anyway, she had a great time. She's so ecstatic and happy knowing that she will go to school soon. Mommy pulak tak sabar nak tengok Nia in her school uniform...:) Pink kaler lagiiii..Hehehehhe...Mommy pulak yang over excited you....!

To know what are the mistakes....

I had my first appraisal in this new company last monday. It took one and a half hour....Boy it seems like forever! I've been here for almost 5 months now. It's been great. Learning new things (business as well as technology), making new friends, adapting to new environment, and not forgetting, getting use to the new role. It was a good change....

Anyway, some of the tasks assigned, I couldn't complete it on time. So it affected my appraisal. My mistakes...Yes, that's right....I took too long to do some tasks, think too much (too afraid to make mistakes in the task), didn't ask a lot, too reserved....:)

But somehow, it felt relieved to know what are the other mistakes I made throughout the times I'm here. What I should have done, what I should not do,what did I do wrong, all were pointed out. I felt relieved knowing all these now, at least I have the chance to know. And I was given a chance to prove I can do my stuff better. Thanks to my superiors...So I'll be on 3 months contract (extension) until end of April. Hope by May, things will be better.

As for the others, hope their appraisals went well. Mana tau ada rezeki, dapat bonus...Boleh belanja aku. Heheheheh

May the force be with me.....:D
