back to blogging...
Hi peops!
i thought i should at least write something here...after having abandoned this website for quite some time now...anyway, i'm kinda over the whole FB thingy..after a while, they're all the same, friendster, FB, who knows what 2008 is going to have in store for us? when you're someone who has no social life like yours truly, all these "social utility networks" are only serving you from one angle, and that is to reconnect you with your old acquaintances, instead of actually enlarging your circle of friends. For the 20-year-olds with much happening lifestyle, there would be some degree of enthusiasm in them to be checking their FB accounts on a daily basis, or even hourly basis...but for me...being "reunited" with old friends is a delight and is a good enough improvement on my otherwise pathetic social life..=)
tomorrow's raya haji! i should've let myself in early tonight, considering that i'll have the day off tomorrow...i tried..but i just couldn't..we're spending it at PIL's house, with 2 cows and 1 goat for qurban. i'd probably be sleepy by lunch time...ahh..looking forward to an afternoon nap tomorrow..
my kids have just recovered from a food poisoning episode, alhamdulillah..the weight drop is just so drastic when it is this type of illness. my babies' round cheeks have lost their might and succumbed to a lose, lembik form...Insyallah, they will gain their original chubby cheeks in the next few weeks..Aishah is 1 year and 9 months and have perfected everyone's names (daddy, mummy, abang, both granparents and uncle). she also knows a few other words like elephant, fish, horse, aeroplane, come, "dah tapai"=dah sampai, etc...
nazim on the other hand, is ageing faster than he should. he learns fast and applies well, masyaAllah...just the other day, as i was driving him to school..he said to me..."next time, when u are angry with me, i must say "you must control your temper" to you...which brought me to a state of shock....and for a while i was trying to figure out where he had learn that from?!! and finally i remembered...it was from the Beauty and the Beast...the chipped cup and his mom told the Beast to control his temper...and that is just one of the few unpredictable things that come out from his mouth.
work isn't exactly enticing at the moment...i must say i've had better days..i don't know..must be the year-end mood that's been clouding my mind. i guess it does have something to do with a change in leadership as well. when leaders change, followers tend to go on a wild goose chase, so-to-speak. who do we actually follow? good leaders are hard to find..fair leaders are even harder..leaders who favor butter-me-ups are just the worst kind of leaders..and those who butter-up the leaders just make me sick to my stomach. ahhh..the antiqs of office politics...when will it end? never, i suppose..
before the year ends, our family is making one last trip...and welcoming the new year during that trip! i can't wait to have a little R&R to start the new year! me and hotels...we jive...=) but only the ones with the nice beds..you know which ones i'm talkin about??? the ones with nice and white crisp linens and heavy duvets..ahh..just my kind of beds..so i'm really looking forward to three nights of bliss...not forgetting the ocassional taps of my son's feet on my face, back and everywhere else..
