Root beer float

4th day of puasa. Ingatan kuat terhadap Root Beer Float A& W. **sigghhhh*** malu kat bebudak kecik yang posa.
Hubby just called. Kain untuk buat baju raya tak cukup 1 ½ meter. Tak cukup bidang...tskk..tsk...kena la gi Nagoya tambah kain. Minah potong kain tu kata 4 meter cukup...Laki aku siap second the motion lagi...Dushh..for both of you.
Adam kata dalam perut Mama ada baby....depress nye...bila la pulak aku nak berbaby baru...? If tak lalui ectopic pregnancy dulu, my baby would have been 2 months plus. And me...a proud mother of two.
Alamak dah nak start depress dah ni....better go now and try to colour my life a bit.....
Thankfully, now, I am a proud mother of 1...thankfully, 4 hari dah puasa berlalu, everything went well despite the occasionally bubble thought of Root beer float yang sungguh lazat dan menggiurkan.

The rest of the weekend

Received a 6 page translation job from May on Friday. Was suppose to finish it over the weekend. I did try very hard to do it on Saturday but the determination was abandoned half way as tumbling around wrestling with Amir, my little wrestler seems more fun. I let him win all the time. Perhaps I should let him lose once in a while so he knows that he cannot win all the time.
End up finishing the translation on Sunday. Had a splitting headache due to the night out to Uptown Pasar malam. Was back at 4 pm. Crazy husband I have. I complained that we never have a night out anymore and he brought me to a pasar malam. Hampeh..And they say woman complains...how la not to complain? Aiyoyoo..Was literally typing with one left finger as the other hand was used to apply pressure to my forehead.
Amir pour my newly bought shampoo (RM 25 a bottle to be precise) into the toilet. Erghhhhhhh....marahnya!! Why so expensive? because my hair drops profusely whenever my hair reaches shoulder length. How to be Mama Rock la like that?
May, my editor and my life long friend said I did ok with the translation. It could have been better if I could do the Translation Proses yang ke 3 -Penstrukturan.
All and all, everything turn out alright...for that I am thankful.

Annual Dinner-Oct 9th 2004

Quite meriah ...Different venue this year. No longer in the Mines Convention Centre. This year, Sunway pulak.
We forgot to assign someone to come early and reserve the table, so we all dapat table kat belakang. Luckily Azie & Herney yang tak berpuas hati pegi jadi PI menyiasat kat depan. 20 minutes later, we're sitting right infront of the stage, next to the VIP table. The only thing I regret is the mercun thing. Naik pokak den ...
Wendy was busy SMSing voting Jac for Malaysian Idol....using my phone!!! Nasib baik la phone bill tak pernah exceed credit given.How many did she sent? Let's just say till today, I am still getting the sms reply saying that "the voting is close, see you next year". Aiyoo...never buy a phone with the "Add Receipient" feature.
Harith Iskandar was the MC, he mispronounce Datuk Jamaluddin as Datuk Jalaluddin...too much of Astana Idaman I guess. And don't think he'll be the MC again...Fat chance...Ada ka...you pronounce the one and only Datuk Jamal in the entire corporate sector. Dushh..
Zahid, Zarina and Linda performed...they need more communication skill. Linda was pretty. I snapped a few photos and MMS it to my hubby. Zarina was surprisingly petite..or has she been losing weight?
Then Siti Nurhaliza was next. The crowd went wild. She started the show by thanking the VIP. She thank the Tan Sri-Tan Sri yang sudi hadir....The problem is, we do not have any Tan Sri in the house...just 3 Datuks..**sheeessshhhhh...** What a blunder. Tapi she can be quite spontaneous & funny.
Oh? Door gift this year, RM 500 voucher for MMS phone...yeah..and if I do get another one...I will have to spend about RM 1300 ++ to get a good one.
All and all...I am thankful I am working with one of the Top 10 companies in Malaysia. Alhamdulillah.

Legaaa...

Hari ni habis exam for my Diploma In Translation. Weeeee......leganya. Woke up in the morning with a headache.One uphamol and a ghee tosei later, masuk dewan periksa. Ada pulak translation on headache. Without thinking I chose to answer that question, and dedicate it to my headache that morning. Another question was about CEO of the year.I dedicated that one to Datuk Jamaluddin Ibrahim, my CEO. Malas nak fikir bebanyak.
I don't know why I did this in the first place. Perhaps saja gatal nak menambah Diploma yang ada. Or maybe I need something new to do in my life. It was a good one though. I got to meet some new people whom I'd like to keep in touch like Sharlynna, Anwar and Shila. I got to see more of my long life good friend, May, whom I hardly see if not because of this class. And I rebond with my brother. Lynna, Anwar and Shila cracks me up..Lynna kabut, and her expression when she sat on her ringing mobile just to silence it will forever stuck in my mind. You see, the mobile is also on vibrate mode. Hehehehehehehehe...
Okaylah, dengan tak malunya aku mengaku I really wanted my name as the subtitlist in any of my favourite sitcom. There!! I've said it.
Ending this post in a thankful note...I am done with the translation course....

My Saturday..

starts with a nasi lemak kat depan 7-11,
then exam teori untuk translation. Apa beza shudder, shiver, shatter....erkk...
Habis awal and pegi Ampang Point sat. Bought Amir's car seat. Graco is the cheapest. Belanja Adik makan Kenny Roger's. Sebenarnya aku yang nak makan. Roped him in.
Ena called and tell me her misery. I gave her the best advise I could think of at that moment. You guys are already married, officially... the rest doesn't matter.
Petang, tolong Mama dengan demonstrasi masak. Mak Vanidah Imran came to teach Persatuan Cikgu Pencen masak tose. The ghee tose is exceptionally sedap.Amir charmed everyone by calling everyone Opah and Atuk. Ada gak yang nak jadi Auntie...hmm...whatever lah..
Petang melepek gila
Malam, keluar bayar Citibank. Banyak machine out of order. Paling sikit pun orang beratur ada 15 people. Arrggh...esok lah bayar.
As I was drifting off to sleep, I was thinking to myself, everything went quite well today..Alhamdulillah.
