September

Didn't realise that I haven't been updating my post for some time. As I mentioned in the previous post, is really difficult to juggle between work, family, friends & studies. Worst still, I'm here alone without hubby...

At work:
-16hours of teaching load is actually not so bad
-but I hate marking the lab reports (7 classes) & tests (200+ students)
-the worst was marking the final exam scripts (cross marking about 600 scripts among 4 lecturers)
** Thank God, everything is over. Now waiting eagerly for the next semester

At university:
-my brain is totally blank after 14 weeks of lecture (who to blame?)
-one of my lecturer can't speak proper English & always (1 week once) give assignments
-the other lecturer is ok but all of us too busy copy notes, rather than listen to him
-final exam is in 1 month time, I really need to speed up in my revision
-others said that master students should be more independent and do lots of self-study. So, why should we pay so much of tuition fees? Why not only pay the exam fees?
** Please God, I wish I won't fail my exam!!

At home:
-by law, I'm married. So i'm currently having 2 home-my parents & in-laws
-hubby is working in Singapore, he promise to come home at least once a month
-he sms, call, email, msn me every day
-in fact, he came home last week:)
-brother doing well in Macau, his girlfriend also working in the same hotel

Friends:
-Last Saturday, I attended my secondary school mate church wedding
-bride: my secondary schoolmate, bridegroom: my secondary schoolmate & my brother primary classmate
-Sadly, her dad past away a week after the wedding (lung cancer)
-hope they are coping well

OUCH!! is hurt...

I got a huge ulcer on my tongue, is hurt whenever I move my tongue. Thus, I don't have the mood to talk or eat.

Recently, I have rejected lots of my colleagues' "invitation" such as lunch, dinner, karaoke etc etc. In fact, I just said "NO" to Liz for today lunch, most probably I'll say "NO" too for their karaoke session tomorrow. Hopefully, they won't think that I'm anti-social and thus develope hard feeling between us. Honestly, I really don't mean to spoilt our strong relationship, how I wish we can be like the older days.

I'm not in the mood to join all these happy occassions, but I did try my best to enjoy yesterday office party! I guess this is because of the absent of hubby and the assignments loaded by my master degree lecturers. I feel so sorry for my supervisor as my final year project have not much progress. If only God can gives me more than 24hours a day, then I can divide my time equally to everyone!!

Yesterday I sms brother in Macau as I was very down & have noone else to talk to. We exchanged several sms and encouraged each other to be strong for this transition period. He miss us alot, but luckily his girfriend who also got a job in the same hotel as an accountant is flying over later. He told me that although he earn much more in term of money but he has lost all the family love which is priceless!! Both of us shed tears...

House is so quiet without hubby, I no longer have the urge to go home early everyday. I have been thinking a lot lat night, I cried myself to bed... This morning I cleaned our house thoroughly before I left to work, the different was darling is not there to help me anymore...

All the while I thought I'm strong & tough, I'm so ashame of myself for not able to live "normally" once hubby left to Singapore.

Bye Darling

I sent hubby to Corus Hotel cause he is leaving to Singapore for work. We reached there about 9.30a.m. but the bas only arrived at 9.50a.m. My tears just "rushed out" uncontrolly when hubby said 'bye bye'. Actually, I try my best to control my tears, cause I don't want hubby to leave while worrying about me.

Believe it or not?? I cried throughout the journey, from the hotel to office. However, I need to tidy up myself cause I have 2 meeting to attend later.Hopefully, I'll get over this transition period.


Love you darling!! All the best in your new job. Muak, Muak!
Need not worry about me, I promise to be good:)
Take good care of yourself.

Selamat Hari Merdeka

MERDEKA!! MERDEKA!! MERDEKA!!
Wow!! Long holiday but still not enough rest...

Last Thursday after work, hubby and I went to KLCC to watch Rush Hour 3. Not many people but 9.20a.m. show was full, we ended up in the 3rd row, anywhere is free tickets, what to complaint?! The movie was ok. After the show, I didn't stay to watch the firework display cause it was too crowded. However, I caught our PM on TV.

On Friday we sent hubby's car (birdie aka kenari) to some sort of 2nd hand car dealer for sale. We didn't trade-in, we left it there and they will look for potential buyer. They will settle all the hassle process for us and as a return we pay them RM800-RM1000. So far, we have yet to get any call. Hopefully, we will get some responses soon. At night, our family (my parents, younger brother & my parents-in-law) have dinner somewhere in Cheras. One word: DELICIOUS!!

On Saturday, mother-in-law force hubby to go to the clinic where she works as a nurse for a Hepetitis B booster. From there, we walked to Pudu LRT station and headed towards Sogo. It was long ago since we last visited Sogo, lots of changes. Then, we took the same LRT to Hang Tuah. We walked to Sungai Wang, is quite far though, to get our working pants which we tailor made in The Page Shop a week ago. We shopped around the Bukit Bintang area, both of us were exhausted, we didn't get anything, too many people, no mood to buy anything, only window shopping. Since we were very tired, we deicided to take public transport** to the clinic (need to give moyher-in-law a lift home). After dinner, we met up Ooi Yin, Soon Wan and another friend (hubby's form 6 mate) in Cheras Steven's Corner. We have a few drinks and of course lots of good chat.

**As all of us know, from Times Square to Pudu is very very near, only 2 bus station away. However, all the taxi driver that we approached ask for RM5, why nobody use meter?! Is this what we achieved after 50 years kemerdekaan? I fully agree with the statement:1st class facilities, 3rd class mentality.

We woke up rather late on Sunday, we went to Pandan Capital to repair hubby's tennis racquet, then parents-in-law's house for "branch". Later, we went Mines as hubby is looking for some shirt to bring to Singapore, but we only manage to get a pair of shorts. Then, we try again in Balakong Jusco. Hubby got another pair of shorts and I got myself a very cheap shirt. At night, both of us busy packing hubby's lugage.

Now, I'm back in the office. Guess what?! Iwas so tired this morning, I fell asleep while I was driving. Surprisingly, noone "honk" me!!
