Challenges
I have been very stressed lately. In fact, to use the word very is an understatement. It should be immensely. Yes, I am immensely stressed.
No. 1:
I am maidless. The house is a mess, laundry’s piling up, frozen food stock is depleting, I often overslept and didn’t have enough time to prepare breakfast for both Ach and Kimi.
No. 2:
Work is driving me insane. I’ve been going back at 8.30 pm for the past week. That’s after telling em that I have to pick Kimi up from the babysitter. Without that excuse I’d do sleepovers in the office for 3 nights straight. Okay I’m exaggerating, but its nothing weird to still be in the office at 3 am, because my officemate did that.
No. 3:
I did a blunder that would cost me my job had it not been rectified immediately by my immediate supervisor. She is the bomb, she really is. Very thorough (could be frustrating sometimes to have to go to the very last coma), but she saved my life. I owe her.
No. 4:
I have an impending overseas two-week training to deal with. If this opportunity comes any other times I’d be very-very grateful and excited to escape the office madness, but now, it’s really an unwelcomed vacation.
I didn’t write this entry to complain. Actually, paragraph above is just a preamble to what I’m about to share with you. Something that I have never thought of and made me see things in a different light.
My immediate boss is a very positive lady who sees every problems and glitches as challenges. She is aware of my predicaments and I guess she saw that they are all affecting my kerja sebab I seldom talk to ppl in the office nowdays. Today she gave me kind advice, of which I am very thankful for:
We must work for God. We must never hold grudges for anyone. We must see things positively and that is a challenge for us. Though it is not easy, being a mother, a daughter and a wife, so we must plan our work. Plan for you and everyone around you. Once you are out of this you will see that everyone will be a better person and the family will be closer. After all, life would be boring without challenges. Apa nak cerita kat anak-anak and cucu-cucu nanti?
Those are not her words, but the summarized version. I know those are all clichéd advice yang bersepah kat internet, but they made me feel better. I like her. She’s pening but very structured. I can take a pening person who gives out clear instructions. Too bad she’s only here for a two-year secondment. I am going to miss her.
p/s:
Yayang, I will do all I can to make my 2 week absence endurable for you and Kimi. I know its not easy, but we can do it. Thank you for being understanding. You have no idea how much it means to me. =)

anyway, u knows the roti butterscotch and choc raisin gardenia tu? buy one each for u, ach and kimi (if he has started eating bread la-i 4got how old is he now). that shd serve as breakfast-on-the-go. tgl kat ofis, or in d car, or even kat rumah.
I selalu jugak beli roti tu, just tak terfikir buat breakfast-on-the-go kan?
thanks for the idea!
