Looking Back

This is probably my last entry from the office. I have 10 working days more to go inclusive of today. After that? Who knows. I have not recieved any new job offer right now. So most likely I would be at home for I have no idea how long. It would be nice for the first few weeks I guess, as I would not have to rush through to complete the work at home before rushing to the office. Not having to have to think of what to wear to the office for the day. Not having to think what I would do at the office for the day to let the days passed by. If I wanted to, I can always go back to sleep after the girls have gone to school and hubby to work. :-) Mengeram atas katil no? hehehe. But I don't see that I would have that luxury though. I may be be taking it a little easier though.

But I wonder how long it would be before boredom eventually set it. I do have my stay-home plan remember? :-) Now, I really need to execute those plans. At the same time I may even have to set a time table so that I can fill up the days more effectively.

Looking back, 2 years ago I was really bored in this office. I knew that at the end of the day, something like this will happen. It was just a matter of when, sooner or later. I didn't expect to be loosing my job, but as the new development set in then it was clear that I would be redundant. That's almost normal in take over situations. As there were not much things to be done, I took to the internet, looking for some interesting things to do and to read. I stumbled upon blogs and was bloghopping like crazy. Putting comments everywhere, making myself known, making new friends on the blogsphere. Through times some friendships did develop into something stronger. It was really amazing that we can make friends and become rather close to those friends even though we have never set eyes on them.

In the end I can no longer resist the temptation to start my own blog. After a few encouragement I started my first entry. Through blogging I found an avenue to vent my frustrations at time, my sadness, my happiness etc. Thank you to all who have been reading and giving me the encouragement all this while.

When the time comes for me to stop working, I had been asked to stay for another 3 months (Jan - March 2007). OMG, I thought, what am I going to do for the next 3 months. Absolutely, "makan gaji buta, goyang kaki saja". I know, it's a job most people would die for hehehe. There's almost nothing to do. I pictured myself falling asleep on my chair (if I don't fall OFF it, hehe).

To tell you guys the truth, I did doze off a few times on the chair for the last 3 months. :-)

So as the end is near, I am actually thankful that I have had this extension. I used the time to do a lot of research and reading. Sampai naik kero mata aku dok baca e-book. After this I definitely need to go and change my specs. I took myself off the blogsphere and chatting to do that. Now you know ekk, why I rarely update my blog nowadays hehehe. There were days which I didn't event bloghopped, I have lost touch with a lot of what people been discussion on the blog. If I did read blogs then it would be the selected few ( friends and family plan - macam iklan prepaid pulak dah!). Meebo pun tak bukak, sekali sekala bila dah rasa terlalu bosan baru aku chatting sekejap. Sekejap2 pun setengah hari jugak tu.

What have I been reading or researching? It will remain my own secret for the time being. But one of the topics is on MENOPAUSE hahahaha.......

Weird? Me?

When I first read this tagging thing at Kak Teh's blog I was hoping that nobody would tag me to do this. I enjoyed reading other's but I did not think that I have enough weird habits to potray.

Mana aku ni weird kannnn.... (In denial mode lah ni) Makcik ni duduk kampung boring ye lah, weird tu tak ada lah.

Anyway, Ini dua orang blogger ni memang cannot see me "duduk senang no" :-). So here goes Jokontan and tokasid.

RULES:

People who are tagged should write a blog post of 6 weird things about them as well as state this rule clearly.In the end,you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names.Don't forget to leave a comment that says" you are tagged" in their comments and tell them to read your blog.

No 1. Rambut.

Aku ni suka tarik/cabut rambut. Dulu masa zaman muda remaja tu rambaut gatal yang aku cabut. Jenuh berkerut2 kening punya dok cari rambut gatal yang kadang2 tu tak gatal pun untuk aku cabut. Rambut yang gatal tu selalunya yang kerinting berkerekut tu yang pada spesifikasi aku rambut yang gatal tu. Tapi rambut aku pun bukan jenis lurus, wavy2 gitu, jadi yang mana satu rambut gatal kan. Hampir nak botak jugaklah tengah kepala aku kerjakan masa tu. Selepas bertudung ni tak ada lah chance nak menarik/mencabut rambut tu. Tapinya aku ada sasaran baru. Hehehe, uban. Bila masuk je bilik air aku mula mencari tweezer untuk mencabut uban yang baru nak tumbuh. Yang panjang tu aku selalunya biarkan saja. Entah apa rasional pun aku tak tau. Tak lama lagi kena cabut rambut hitam lah pulak kut supaya semua rambut jadi senada (same color), baru nampak macam pompuan matsaleh kut no hehe. Perasan lah tu.

No 2 Traffic Light Merah

Kalau masa driving, kat traffic light merah atau train crossing ke, aku ni mulalah nak cari lipstick nak pakai. Masa muda2 dulu tu lagi hebat, siap berbedak, berpipi merah, lipstick semua tu. Mana tak kena bersiap dalam kereta, anak2 masih kecil, kalau nak bercermin dalam bilik, sure merah selalu aku punya kad kedatangan tu. Tu pun lewat sentiasa tu, asyik dok kena cover by going back late. Sekarang ni dah tinggal pakai lipstick aje dah. Yang lain tu semua dah buat kat rumah. Tak lama dah pun habit ni pun. Lepas ni lipstick pun dah tak payah beli dah. Dulu2 tu kadang2 sampai kat ofis, kawan2 tengok semacam je sambil senyum2. Baru perasan ada yang tak kena, terus masuk toilet. Mana diorang tak gelak, muka aku macam badut je, merah sangat makngah oi pipi tu hehehe.

No 3. Kasut

Macam biasalah orang perempuan kasut dalam kereta tu berpasang-pasang. Walaupun aku ni bukan jenis yang suka buat koleksi kasut. Kasut dalam kereta tu ada 2 pasang selalunya. Aku ni jenis yang tak reti berkaki ayam semasa memandu. Jadi aku pakai slipper/sandal yang leper tu semasa memandu. Kalau masa aku keluar lunch, oleh kerana aku ni drive kereta automatic jadi hanya sebelah kaki saja yang perlu aku tukar dari kasut ke slipper. Tukar slipper tu sebab nak elakkan belakang kasut tu cepat rosak. Jadinya aku tukar sebelah kanan saja, sebelah kiri pakai kasut jugak. Bila sampai destinasi, kadangkala, nak cepat ke apa, terhencut-hencut sekejap sebab kaki tak sama tinggi. Kasut tumit 2 inci sebelah kiri, slipper jamban sebelah kanan.

No 4. Hilang Barang

Aku pakai hand bag satu saja sampai lusuh atau koyak atau dah naik lunyai hehe. Semua benda maknenek ada dalam handbag aku tu. Jadinya aku selalu hilang barang dalam handbag tu. Maksud aku, walau aku confident habis ada barang tu dalam handbag aku, tapi bila aku cari, berjam-jam baru nak jumpa. Pagi-pagi nak cari kunci ofis pun kena seluk sana selok sini.Ulang raba-raba 2, 3 kali masih tak jumpa. Dok terkial2 depan ofis tak jumpa kunci.

Bulan lepas aku mencari cd yang ada passport size gambar aku. Aku memang yakin aku ada cd tu dalam handbang, puas aku cari tak jumpa jugak. Aku keluarkan semua barang dari handbag pun masih tak jumpa. Jadi aku sekali lagi pergi kedai gambar ambik gambar dan diberi lagi satu cd. Terbang RM17. Bila masa aku betul2 nak pakai cd tu, sekali capai dalam handbag, tercapai cd yang lama. Laaa.. mana pulak datangnya kan. Aku pun heran macam mana boleh miss cd tu. Jadi sekarang aku ada 2 cd gambar tu. Teruk betul aku ni kan. Agaknya tak boleh pakai handbag kut.

No 5. Bunga

Memang aku suka bunga. Lagipun hubby banyak tanam bunga yang harum2 baunya kat rumah. Ada bunga kerak nasi, bunga melur, bunga ros, kemunig dan lain-lain. Tak pelik lah kan kalau orang perempuan suka bunga. Especially makcik-makcik ni kan? Tapi aku ni suka petik bunga-bunga ni semua dan masukkan dalam handbag, dalam kereta, dalam almari. Memang sedap bau bunga-bunga ni, jadi macam potpourri natural gitu. Memanglah tak pelik. Tapi bila kering bunga2 tu jadi sampahlah kelopak bunag kering tu dalam kereta, dalam handbag aku. Kereta tu boleh lah sekali sekala vakumkan. Kalau handbag tu kena tunggang dan ketuk2 untuk keluarkan sampah tu.

No 6. Jerawat

Aku palaing tak tahan kalau tengok jerawat, whiteheads atau blackheads. Sama ada kat muka aku atau kat muka orang. Gatal saja tangan aku nak picit-picitkan. Anak aku selalu complain sakit sebab aku picitkan jerawat kat muka diorang tu. Yang lebih pelik tu hubby pulak suka kalau aku memicit muka dia kalau ada white/blackheads. Lagi suka kalau aku buat facial kan dia tu. Selalu tu kat bahagian hidung lah yang banyak benda-benda camtu kan. Habis merah-merah hidung hubby aku kerjakan selalu tu. nasib baib kat hidung saja yang merah, kalau kat leher ke, sure ada yang dok tanya hubby pontianak mana yang mengigit leher dia tu kan...ahak..

Aku tak tahu siapa aku nak tag ni. Lepas tu nak cari 6 orang pulak tu. Aku tag sorang sajalah. Let's try Bergen, aku harap dia tak keberatan. :-)
