running around

these few days i've been running around like a mad woman... on saturday, my hubby n i plus the two kiddos, walked all the way up to the shop n save to buy the sour cream... sour as it is, its not available and we replace it with yougart, for my peach cheese cake. Once home, hubby n i prepared everything up and we start doing our cheesecake.... after baking, elder princezz n us drive down to sembawang phoon huat to buy the almonds and choc bar for those guys who ordered the choc.... once home, again, we got everything prepared and start doing the almond cookies.... half way thru' hubby cheated and left me doing the stuff all alone..... (he had to attend to his mum lah..) finished doing it around 11pm....

the next day on sunday, after didi returned from her madrasah, we drive down to changi aloha... this time i was forced to drive, cos' the initial driver had a bad diarrhoe.... (he took 4pills at one go, juz to stop 'it')...and so, cuzzins met, little kiddos had fun...

hubby left as early as 0530 tis morning for work.... kesian dia, no more bike.... it'll be definitely very tiring for him.... at least, i dont have to travel that far anymore.... i left for paya lebar, and had asked my sis to accompany me to do my PS card.... a total of 2hrs of travelling to and fro, but the photo taking only lasted for 5mins.... once back, prepare the banana cake for mum to bring to religious class.... very very tired.... i juz finished clearing things up, and now, waiting for the cake to be baked.....

i wonder if i'll be able to do my marketing research after my bath... chinta had asked for our part of researching... has yet to give it to her....

gosh!!

one down, one more to go

i was very upbeat yesterday.... in the morning, went out to buy my catridges for the project printing, after that at around 1.30pm i left for MOE, i was damned blur, i chose the wrong route, which is a further way towards the building. Looking at the watch its 15mins to my appointment time, i decided to turn back, and walked up the stairs to go to the opposite road... hell, it began to rain... walking as fast as i could, i began to pant the moment i reach the security to change my pass. the pakcik is very cute lah, i told him i have an appt with Nicole, and he said, oh, she dont like people to come to early, but when i look at my watch its 2mins before the scheduled time, handling the pass over to me he then said, "skrg, awak CEPAT2 naik...." i laughed my heart out....

so, the appointment goes smoothly.... there are two of us in the room, we were briefed on all the benefits and had to sign a few documents.... syukur i would say, thou' the pay is only like 200 bucks difference from my previous job, i believe it'll be a good start for me.... i've been assigned to the ODD dept which i found out from my childhood fren who is also in MOE, it means, Organisational Development Division... i decided to start on the 12th..... cos' we're given a choice of either on the 12th or 29th... after the process, i went home taking a cab, as it was raining heavily...

once home, i was rushing to clear up the project, printing out the report.... i have only an hour before i had to leave for class...

finally, one down, another one to go - marketing.....

deciding...

i had just finished doing my final part of HR project.... am very tired now.... after discussing with chinta at home about the HR project, we proceed to Civic centre library after 6pm to meet up with rest to discuss on marketing.... such a waste of time i feel, as no conclusion was derived.... was telling chinta that once i'm back home, i juz wanna shut myself off from the pc, but situation changed. the thoughts of submitting the report tomorrow, and has yet to tidy up and finish up the project spins my head.. therefore, dragging my feet towards the pc, and let my ideas flow. finally, its done, waiting for any editing from chinta...

deciding whether to start work on the 5th or on the 12th.... the HR officer called me up again in the afternoon, to tell me to come down today instead of next thursday... and i took the opportunity to ask when will i probably be starting work. she gave me a choice on whether i wanna start on the 5th or 12th....
i probably start on the 12th, need to clear up the marketing project as well as the almond orders from frens.... need to make some income as i will need it for my transportation and meals to work.
hopefully, this changes will goes smoothly.... insyallah....

happiness comes after sadness....

lost another uncle yesterday.... my arwah abah elder brother... it was a shock to most of us, cos' we didnt hear him sick.... he had a fall at home, and death comes after.... (semoga rohnya dicucuri rahmat. amin). he is scheduled to be buried today... and while i am writing this post, he is currently being prayed for....

was awaken by a msged received at 830 this morning... it was a msged generated by moe, to call the HR officer. so, up on my feet, and i made a call to them... first question imposed was, are you currently working, and no was my answer... and she gave me the great news that majority of us are waiting for, u've been selected for the last session, and i had scheduled a formal meeting for you to attend to be briefed of ur benefits and etc..... a ceiling pay of my grade was given, which means no increment till promotion...
after the last session with the officers last monday, i was telling my hubby of the job scope offered. it is towards, budgetting, procurement and quotations that they are offering in their IT dept, and there is only one vacancy... i wasnt very keen as i m not very familiar with it... and i told my hubby if i am not selected, its okay, hoping to be posted to other dept... but its okay, i've been fated to be there anyway... syukur, i would say...

the movie that i went last mon with hubby, was superb, worth watching for.... we're lucky to have got the sneak preview tixs. i was on my own to go to Orchard cineplex, and the funny part is, once i alighted at Somerset, i do not noe which direction to go. so the damn selengeh, made a call to a fren to ask, but she didnt answered. luckily, i saw mandarin hotel, and i walk towards it... haiz, dah lama tak naik train jln2 town, gini lah jadinya...

waiting for chinta now, to work on our projects.... headache, headache.... gotta go, will update soon again....

confidence is all i need.

receiving orders for the almond chocs again.... wonder when i'm going to do it. hmm, last thurs, received a call from the HR dept, asking me to come down this monday, this time for a briefing session with the Info Tech Mgr, to see if i am suitable to be in his dept.... hoping that everything goes well. Hubby is giving me all the support, when i told him that i wasnt really excited about it, as this session doesnt constitute the confirmation of my position yet.
Hubby won a pair of sneak preview tickets to Rocky Balboa and Pathfinder, showing back-to back tomorrow. He's looking forward to it, and will be taking leave from work.
Completing the HR project soon, need to submit it by this Friday. Next focus will be marketing, damn, another, brain damage project to look into. And need to submit it the following week. Almost giving up on it.
Had to end this here, need to do editing for the HR.

wats your gain???

hutang ringgit boleh ditembusi tetapi bukan dosa akhirat???
hutang yang tak dilunaskan didunia, akan dituntut diakhirat... dosa besar ataupun kecil itu adalah hukum Tuhan diakhirat juga....
when i mentioned that i am not going to look back, i meant what i said.... memories erased and dats final....

being called 'uneducated', cant blame, since new at driving, sent out messages like 'tai-long', dammit, are we the one owing the money? wake up!!!!!!! strategy of trying to delay payment??? by repeatedly mentioning "affair". so dat hubby n i would quarell and people out there watching in satisfaction?
patience has its limit.... its about time the loan is returned.... it was first delayed due to reason of delivery charges? fine, wat now? when i gave the benefit of an instalment minimal amt of 50bucks, i was given an answer, how long will it ends, how will i able to keep track of it? heard of this phrase, sikit-sikit lama-lama jadi bukit.... kalau tak mampu nak bayar banyak, bayar lah sikit, sekurang-kurangnya nampak keikhlasan nak bayar.... ini tidak, kal or msgs tak reply, and when we brought this up, the reply was, how would i know, who sent out the messages to me... TUHAN!!!

i surrendered myself, watever gonna happen between hubby n i, its a personal intake.... but YOUR job is to return OUR money back.....

feelings???

had a conversation wz someone close....
how does it feel to live at the expense of others??? what do u understand by the term "courtesy"? wat about "initiative"? wat about spending more than wat u should, when the fact is, there are other priorities that u need to settle?
interesting topics right.... juz wanna leave this open.....

patience has its limit.... especially when it concerns cash.... there is no point repeating the word try when u did not try hard enuff... been very patience wz someone, whom had promised to settle things on an instalment basis, but, it was juz a gimmick.... if u think u are the one, bear this in mind, there are other people who is in deep difficulty than you are.... if u had loan someone, ensure that you return it back when the person needed it badly.... if u are not able to repay the loan, than do not borrow it.... its a lesson learnt on my part too....

am waiting patiently for any great news from one of the govt sector to get back to me regards to my interview... had already gone for the medical check ups as requested.... i really hope that i do not have to wait for too long for any news.....meanwhile, i am spending more time wz the pricezzezz as their 'bibik' had already been returned.... hmm,.... my tenants too will end their contract by end of this month.... until we got a replacement tenant, we definitely will be in a tight situation.... but i always hold this phrase in mind, "ade orang yang lebih susah dari kita, sekurang-kurangnya bersyukur yang kita masih ade bumbung di atas kepala kita"

(will update the pics one of these days)

from there, hubby and i went down to plaza singapura to send his phone for repair, after that we watched Acapolypto before i head for school... great show, but u need to be 18 n above to watch the show...
