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.
