Only a matter of time and patience :)

                                             

It's been many years since I have put up that wish list in my blog. And three of them was achieved all within the same year!

Ceteker yang mana? 

Things I've learnt from the year 2020

1) Don't buy a fancy planner for next year. The plain normal one works fine.

2) A nice working space is important for every home. It sure helped with mine.

3) Be willing to spend money on things that will help you with your work - office work & house work. 

4) Planning and following a schedule is good for everyone in the house. Not just you.

5) Insist on having help with house chores. It's their house too!

6) Plan for more dates and staycation with the family! And act on it!

7) To be happy is more important than being perfect. But, it's hard to be happy, when every one else too busy looking out for their own...

I hope my children are happy. Ibu minta maaf sebab selalu marah-marah.

What if?

Another friend is leaving the office.

Part of it was because of stress from work. And only the husband will be earning money. The wife will try to work-from-home as a full-time mother plus trying on online businesses. 

Even so, both husband and wife were happy to leave and start over. To be better partners in marriage and better parents to their kids and soon-to-be born lil one.

I'm so happy for them. And prayed that Allah grants them health and ease them in everything they do *ameeen*

~~~~~~~

Will I be willing to start over at a new place and new environment?

To be honest, I'm not sure.

Siapa

Team building literally means the action or process of causing a group of people to work together effectively as a team, especially by means of activities and events designed to increase motivation and promote cooperation.

And technically, a company will usually arranged for a team building program when there's a need to unite and harmonise the working environment in a company. 

The thing is, all of us staff are already very effective in working as a team. And we also cooperate well with one another.

Tapi tulahtu. 

Siapa sebenarnya yang perlukan program ni??

One of those mornings

Sedang bersiap-siap pagi tadi, I can hear the husband and kids laughing and joking around while waiting for their mommy to be ready.

Something that’s not normal when they are alone with me.

 

With me, there’ll be shouting and high pitch voices like, 

“Cek balik! Kang tertinggal!”

“Kenapa tak siap lagiii?!”

“Tolong laa kemas mainan tu sementara nak tunggu ibu!”

Ya Allah, please bless my husband for being the source of happiness for the family. And please give me the patience to be a better parent to my children ♥️

It's OK. You're OK :)

Everyone has their own tribe - people whom they vibe with.

 

So, as an individual you don't have to succumb to changing yourself so you can fit in. 

It's OK if you're not someone's cup of tea.  

 

Likewise, it is OK for someone to not be our cup of tea.

 

What's not OK is to rally other people to dislike someone whom you (we) don't like as if we're the one who need validation.

 

Instead, what we can do instead is to choose to co-exist.

 

We can leave people to their own glory and just be happy for them. 

Help each other sincerely, and just be happy for them.

Help each other sincerely, and be of assistance whenever necessary. 

 

Because it's the right thing to do.

 

This world is a big place - it can accommodate you, me and other people as well.  

                                                                                                                                        - HR

Self-entitl3ment

Aku 'ter'naik suara kat ofismate aku last week. 

Yakin je yang aku tak sengaja kan??

 

~~~~~

Our thumbprint machine in the office got broken. 

So, aku dengan gembiranya masuk ofis tak thumbprint, assuming that I can only thumbprint when that thing get fixed. 

Three weeks went by. And just last week I knew that everyone else thumb themselves in-and-out at the main office.

Haa aku pun apa lagi. Meletop ah! 

Apsal aku tak tahu? 

Kenapa takde sapa kabo apa-apa? 

Apsal ko tak share dalam group kata boleh thumb kat main office?

And this one officemate, with her annoyed face and mata menjeling replied, 

"Saya ada effort untuk tanya HR. Kenapa akak takde effort untuk tanya?"

Dan aku pun ape lagi, MELETOP AH!

 

~~~~~

I didn't asked the HR because I've reported about the issue since the first week. And I was just waiting for her or the others (dean/HOD) who might be able to update on the matter since they also knew about this.

So, imagine my annoyance when this mate sesukehati said that I did not put in the effort?!

 

HELLO! YANG HANG DAH TAHU TAPI TAK SHARE THE INFO TU DAH KENAPA? 

SELFISH!!!

~~~~~

I guess she's just felt offended with my tone of voice at that time and responded as such as a mode to defend herself. 

I get it. My fault for yelling and making her uneasy since it really is not her job to inform me.

 

And I did say my sorry for yelling at her. 

She replied, "Tulah. Sentap kita...". 

 

OK. I'm now on her blacklist. And I'm OK with that. 

Salah sendiri.

 

I do, however, still believe that she should share the info/update with everyone else.

Am I wrong to think so?

 

Ah. Dah tua-tua macam ni semua benda rasa tak kena. Pfft.

Terkena.

Dari pagi sampai malam, mak kita ni asyik sibukkkk je nak buat itu ini. Nak siapkan itu ini. Nk masak pulak lagi. 

Semua benda dia nak buat. Semua benda dia nk kemas. Tapi dia penat. Dia tau dia tak larat. Tapi dia nak buat jugak. Sebab rasa tanggungjawab. Sebab fitrah si emak yang nk tengok semua sempurna. 

Untuk siapa? Untuk kita juga, kan? 

Memang syurga lah untuk mak-mak kita semua. 

Tapi ceritanya sekarang, kita ni taknak ke masuk syurga sama-sama dengan mak kita? Taknak ke bantu @ ringankan kerja mak kita tu? 

Kita punya seronok dapat gelak gembira tengok TV. Sedangkan mak kita tu tengah kecik ati sebab dia kna buat kerja sorang-sorang. Sebab ampa gelak gembira tanpa dia. Sebab takde sapa nak teman dia duduk susah penat sama dengan dia. 

Memanglah syurga untuk mak kita. 

Tapi, kita ni taknak masuk syurga gak ke?! 

Welcoming 2020

Started the new year weighing at 59 kg.
And got into a huge fight with the husband.

Such a bad start.
How’s yours?
