The nice and the NOT SO NICE

The trouble with some people is that they refuse to talk and choose to vent their anger at items such as files, punctures, keyboard…whatever they can get hold of. What’s wrong with these people huh? What? You think by doing that I’ll get the message? Please lah! You have not met the people that I work with before. Maybe someday if you do, you will not type the keyboard like it’s going to break, instead, you’ll cry in silence. Haha. What goes around comes around. Someday you’ll be so frustrated, you would want to just quit.

Despite this bad attitude, I still have some people who are really really nice. I’ve learnt to realize that the ones that I dislike can sometimes be someone who is true and genuine. I’m appreciating this person more than before. Not what I used to say about him anymore. People may see me as hypocrite but the fact is impression of a person changes over time. He’s one of them.

There’s nothing to do with qualifications or status. It’s attitude babe, attitude! If someone has a blackened heart, no Clorox can make it whiter.

Super Clumsy!!

I wanted to sleep during my lunchtime at the staff lounge. I decided to borrow a key from my colleague. In case there’s a meeting going on beside the staff lounge, at least I can escape from the back door so as not to disrupt their meeting. After my lunch break, I went to the toilet. I put the key in my jacket. While I was sitting on the toilet bowl, the key just slip out of the pocket and it fell into the toilet bowl. I just pee and I had to immerse my hand in the toilet bowl. Gosh! I wanted to scream out loud! I had to wash my hands, and the key, with soap thoroughly. Nothing that happened today can keep me so fresh like this.

I didn’t tell my colleague, of course! She would’ve thrown the key away. What’s more, the key’s attached to a beautiful keychain. *slaps forehead*

Fasting and lots of cooking

Ever since Ramadhan started, I haven’t had enough sleep and rest. Darling and I would always have to let the little one sleep first before we can start the cooking for Sahur. Most of the time, we settle for simple dishes that requires little time to prepare. We barely can get 6 hrs of sleep every night, sometimes just 5 hrs. What’s more, Raed still wakes up at night if his pacifier falls out of his mouth and he wants a bit of water coz his throat is dry.

Seriously, I’ve not been cooking for a long time. The last time was many years back. My mom pampers me while I was still living with her. But I don’t feel awkward anymore. Now the kitchen knife is my best friend, the pots and pans are my hang out buddies every night. I’m enjoying it actually. I baked bread pudding last night. It was yummy! I guess the dessert is a treat for me and darling for working so hard.

What’s next? I dunno. I’m craving for Shepherd’s Pie right now. Maybe I’ll bake some this weekend.

Homesick

I’m homesick. I miss going home. I miss my parents. I miss seeing them in their pajamas. I miss their voices. I miss going to NTUC just next to the block. I miss my mom’s cooking. I miss the big playground. I miss the wind when I look out the living room window. I miss the sound of the train (KTM). I miss playing hide and seek with my son in the living room and the bedrooms.

It’s only been the fifth day that I’ve shifted to the new flat. I’m still not used to it. Even baby Raed is also not used to the new environment. He will cling on to me wherever I go. Poor Raed also find it hard to fall asleep. I’m sure all this will pass. Just takes a bit more time for us to adjust.

We still haven’t bought our dining table and sofa. So, we spend most of our time in the bedroom. Even the living room TV cannot be delivered on time coz ‘No Stock’. I guess we got to wait.

No food at home. Means we got to buy. This Saturday will go shopping spree for groceries. I got to cook no matter what by this weekend. Now that I have my own kitchen, I will practice my cooking skills more often.

By the way, I haven’t got the chance to update. But I passed my TP on the 29th July. It’s one of the best things that happen these past few weeks.

Will be back to publish more posts. Been too busy lately. :)
