Thank God It's Friday!...finally..

i've been desperately trying to keep myself awake today. for some reason, i just could not keep my eyes open and almost fell asleep on my keyboard. well, despite my lethargicness, i accomplished my goal for today which is to finish marking ALL the answer scripts - all 94 of them!! yayyy!!! now let me see, school only starts back on the 14th of november...which means yours truly is going to have a hell of a nice time relaxing...hehehe..well not really..here is my check list on the things i SHOULD do (but don't know if i will be rajin enough to do) during my break from classes :

1. Refine my PhD topic (need to talk to some professors at the business faculty AND also find a suitable supervisor)..(the process of finding a topic is stressful enough for me, let alone refining it)

2. Read more journals to really make sure i am comfortable with the topic that i'm going to choose.

3. Apply to HR to get my permanentship for employment (i am still a contract staff and being a contract isn't at all great i.e, no medical coverage for the family, only outpatient coverage for yourself, which means, if i am warded, i have to pay myself, anndd...there's also no maternity coverage) so basically, it sucks being a contract staff. To get permanentship, you have to be here at least a year (been here 1 year 5 months), good recommendation from the boss and good evaluations (which i have been getting) so there! i will try my luck..

4. is there something else i should be doing??

5. not that i can think of at the moment, but i'm sure along the way, things will pop up and before i know it, i didn't even get to do the first three things i should be doing!

so last night our little family took a short (not really laa..about an hour and 10 minutes) trip to PD...to have dinner with my parents..or so, that was the secondary motive..hahahah..the thing is, my hubby is hooked on DH (desperate housewives - even more so than i am) and since we left it at my parents house when we were there last weekend, he has been asking me when are we going to get it back...at lunch time, he told me we could take a drive to PD to get the DVD's and then have dinner there..so, now do u see why the dinner was a secondary motive?!! even my dad could tell!! here's a little excerpt from our conversation:

papa: so you're coming to pd eh?
me: yaaa..
papa: to get the DH DVD's??
me: yaaa...and dinner...
papa: waaa..you so desperate ahh??
me: hahahaha(in my heart...not me!!!! it's amin!!)
papa: hahahahah...

so when we arrived back in melaka around 11pm, guess who wanted to watch the DVD first? and we didn't only watch one episode but 2 and half..until 1am..and i had to tell him to stop because i was getting a headache!

my little boy is only 19 months and he's already eager to go to school with his bag and my sunglasses..(he's only going to his grandma's place) check this out:

a new home for my blabbering..

like my friend, joey, i, too, have decided to depart from the friendster blog for apparent reasons..one of which includes them notifying my friends that i've updated my blog (goshhh soo annoying)..so sorry people..if those "Fara has updated her blog" messages cluttered your mailbox. believe me, i was just as annoyed. so here i am in a new place...feels more free, i must say, and more convenient..
so, last night's amazing race was pretty exciting, wasn't it? watching it just gives me the adrinaline rush and i sometimes feel that me and amin could pull something like that too..yeahhh right..hahaha..no i mean, we work well together, and we are pretty smart people, but we may lack on the physical strength, given that neither of us workout regularly (not at all actually)...
anyhoooo..i gotta start marking those exam papers before i get tooo attached to the computer and then get a headache and then end up not marking any paper at all!!!
