the one with the weekend getaway
Birthday + Free Holiday = AWESOME
Beach + Sunset = MAGNIFICENT
Seafood = YUMMMM

Well I just came back from a weekend getaway. Didn’t go that far, only to KK. Hubby has a conference/meeting for 4 days in Sutera Harbour, so I tagged along.

But oh before that, last week was tight for me at work (finally I did something productive). Conducted an assessment centre session (series of interviews, written test assessments that well includes IQ test, essay, and also some technical test, and also a series of group activities i.e. traffic jam and zin obelisk whatever). Running an assessment centre is actually fun as I met different types of people with different skill sets and of course different personalities altogether. Assessing them in all those activities was more fun coz they don’t know what we were assessing them on, so to see how some of them react to certain situations could really shock you sometimes. Ok whatever. So to get to go somewhere after a tight week was such a relief.

Left to KK on late Thursday morning. I had to board Air Asia coz MAS didn’t have anymore seats. But hubby was on MAS with all his bosses and all. So I left on an earlier flight to KK, and I waited for him to arrive in KK one hour after I did. Which meant I had to wait for him at Terminal 1 coz MAS flights land there whereas Air Asia flights land in Terminal 2.

The whole of Thursday noon was zero activity coz it was raining, hence we stayed in the room and we both dozed off til dinner time. Dinner on Thursday was at the hotel’s café, with a good spread of buffet but somehow I forgot my camera that nite so dint actually took pictures. It was my first time meeting my hubby’s colleagues, so after dinner, was more of an ice breaker for me – the usual questions like kerja kat mana, buat apa, bila nak ada baby ladida (hmmm I didn’t know the baby question was going to pop up since it was my first time meeting all of them). But anyway, after all that intense Q&A session, suddenly from the back of the café, I could hear people singing Happy Birthday and when I turned my head, a group of some others were walking towards me. I looked at my hubby and he had this put-on ‘puzzled’ look and a grin on his face. Well I was certainly touched by their hospitality and I think it’s been ages since anyone threw me a surprise birthday treat like that. Ohh actually that was a lie, my colleagues bought a cake sang me a birthday song a day before I left to KK (it was one day early). So yeah that was a surprise too. But the one in KK was unexpected coz it was my first time meeting all of them and yet they were so nice and sweet. After that, some of us adjourned to our own gaya bebas activity. Hubby, myself and 2 more of his colleagues went for a karaoke…quite dodgy but I guess cant ask for too much la.

Then on Friday, I took the liberty to go around town by myself since the meeting/conference was the whole day. So I hopped on the hotel shuttle and went to the mall. There’s a big mall in KK called the Centrepoint and also another one behind it but I didn’t go there coz it’s basically the same stuff what KL has. So I opted to go to Wisma Merdeka – quite rundown but still alive with shops and all. I’m surprised to learn that the stuff in KK aren’t cheap as I thought it would be. I was expecting that a pair of no brand shoes would not cost more than RM20 but nope, I didn’t actually found anything below RM20. I spent maybe 5 hours there alone, 2 hours of which I went and did French manicure + hand scrub + massage. Not bad, RM45 for all that.

At 2.30pm, I went back to the place where the bus driver dropped me off earlier since the hotel shuttle collects passengers every 1 hour. But I sat there and waited for 15 minutes and no show of the driver and shuttle! I approached the guard that sat there the whole time and asked if the shuttle is late or has left… and he was like oh… "kau lambat sudah bah. nanti jam 3.30 kau ke mari lagi. jangan kau lambat". i understood of course, but what puzzled me was...how come the bus didnt come at 2.30? then i checked the schedule... ohhh 1-3pm is a break time for the drivers. cheh! so kena la linger around kat situ.

Okay, i dont wanna write anymore but i'll let the pictures speak the thousand words.

My motivation rate fluctuates accordingly with my mood swings.
When I’m happy, I’m highly motivated.
Hence, I am a productive worker, I spring ideas from my fingers, and everybody would absolutely love me, I think!
But when I’m angry or upset, that is IT!
Don’t talk to me and don’t mess with me, I once told a Superior.
Yes I did that.
He was obviously shocked by that and he said:
“If I were to make you take over my place one day, I’m pretty sure all of the Consultants will just freak out when they see you like this”.
I don’t know what makes me annoyed so much.
Like right now, I’m not happy coz people have moved over to the area where I’m sitting.
Before this, it was just me and another girl.
So we had all the space to ourselves.
I can put my coffee mug on one table, my handbag on another, and I’d do my work at another table.
That was how luxurious it was.
But now, I’m confined to a table that’s not even 2 arms length, and I can only move probably 10cm to the left and 15cm to the right.
I can’t breathe!!! This space is killing me.
People wear different perfumes, hence bringing different smells.
I’m suffocating.
I opted to sit elsewhere, but I was told that the vacant bigger space is only for Managers.
Oh yeah I forgot, I’m not one.
I told them that I’m claustrophobic.
They laughed.
Boleh blah!
Get me out of here, put somewhere on a project…
Put me anywhere but here.
Today, I hate everyone and everything.

oh come on!!!
There are 3 types of people in this world:
1. There are those that make things happen.
2. There are some who watch things happen.
3. And there are also some who wonder what have happened.

At this point of time, I’m trying hard to be in category number 1.
But the problem with what I’m doing is…
The people that are supposed to work with me fall in category number 2!
And the decision maker falls in category number 3!

Arrghhhh how frustrating!
I despise these people!

It’s Friday, 3 something in the afternoon, raining cats and dogs outside, yawn~~
If only my bed is next to me…
I could use some sleep, despite of not being tired.
But instead here I am, in the office – not doing much.
I went for a super early lunch today and super long somemore.
Met up with my mentor.
It felt so good to vent out my wacko-emo-feeling.
He’s probably one of the people who can criticize me in my face and yet I don’t take it personally.
Not that I don’t take his words seriously, but I just feel that whatever he says makes sense to me.
Even when I know he’s not so right sometimes.
Ah whatever.

I have a feeling that I’m gonna be stuck in the traffic for a long long time this evening.
So…instead of staying til my official hours is up…
I think I want to balik rumah sekarang!!!
A colleague of mine has already packed up and left.

Ok I’m off now.
I just hope I don’t fall asleep while driving.

I just realized how important it is to read the washing instruction label on our clothes prior to washing them.
I threw in my Zara skirt into the washing machine 2 weeks ago.
Today I wanted to wear it to work, and the skirt only went up halfway, up to my thighs only.
I almost fainted thinking "oh tidak, adakah diriku sudah gemuk"...
Then I read the label.
It said “DO NOT WASH, DRY CLEAN ONLY”
&^%#*!@
The skirt literally shrunk to one size smaller!
And looks like I can never wear it again...
Unless if shrink to one size smaller too, like the skirt.

I was late to the office again this morning and this time my boss had no doubt at all for calling me in into his office.
So what’s your reason this time?
Let me guess…
“You turned back home coz you forgot your laptop?”
“You turned back coz you forgot to bring your purse and you had no money to pay your parking?”
Or was it “I realized that I was wearing a different pair of shoes, hence I had to turn back”.
Those were some of the reasons why I was late to the office for a couple of times.
Really…not bluffing.

I wanted to crack another lame-ass reason why I was late this morning,
But I didn’t say anything coz I realized how angry he was.
(Hmmm maybe he didn’t get laid last nite?)
I apologized for being late.
Yes I know I’ve been showing some indiscipline patterns lately but I’m trying so hard to get back on track.

If I were to tell him that the reason why I was late this morning was because I couldn’t decide what I should wear to work…
Do you think he’ll buy it?
I think he’d probably roll his eyes like it will come out from its socket!!!

Yup, I couldn’t decide what I should be wearing today.
Pants? Skirt? Dress?
At last, I decided on a pair of pants and a cardie, after 5 rounds of changing.
But one of the buttons on the pants popped out after I went to the ladies!
Darn!!!
Was it just loose or am I just getting fatter?
Darn darn darn!!!!
