There goes my week!



Just when I thought that the week was going to be a smooth sailing one, things suddenly went wrong.

Maybe I have just jinxed it by saying out loud...

Maybe the force of nature was just out to get me...

There I was, walking out of the office at 6 p.m. on Monday evening (I don't usually get out of the office until after 7 p.m.), joking with Mr Judge on the phone when I saw the parking attendant came rushing towards me...

"Tadi ada pokok jatuh atas kereta you!"

WHAT???!!!

"Dua kereta sebelah kereta you hancur! Cermin semua pecah!"

SISH!!!

I quickly rushed towards my car and found that the roof was wrecked and there were scratches all over the body.

uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...........!!

"Nasib baik tada pecah itu cermin... Awak nasib baik!"


Yeah. I was really thankful for that.

I was thankful that I had a sudden urge that morning to leave a space for another car in between mine and the white wira (I would usually just park next another car).

I was thankful that the tree fell on the white wira and the car that was parked in between my car and the white wira.

I was thankful that only half of my car's roof was hit by the tree.

However............

I am sad that I now have a car with dented roof and scratched body.

I am sad that I have to fork out a huge sum of money to get my car fixed, when I need to use the money for the wedding expenses.

I am sad that I now have to find a safer parking space to park my car and most of the car park around the office are all full!


*sigh*

Meet the Clan Weekend



I was looking through Mr Judge's phone last Friday and saw the reminder he set for the weekend,

"Meet Binxie's Clan"

I just can't help but to laugh.. Kesian dia.. Mesti dah tension sangat coz kena ajak balik Kelantan to meet my relatives.

So, he survived the trip without any scars and bruises... Just an extra few kilos of fat due to the delicious nasi minyak and nasi kerabu cooked by my uncle and aunty.


**********


Things are getting better now.

Though I can't really tell whether the ceremony will go on without a glitch, I can only pray and hope that it will go on.




binx: here's to a great week ahead!

Bucket load of tears



I have been doing nothing but cry since last Sunday...


Sunday - due to some miscommunication with Mr Judge
Tuesday - due to this
Wednesday - due to some miscommunication with Mom relating to the above issue
Thursday - same as above


Why is it so hard to control the tears from falling????


Why is it so stressful to prepare for a wedding????


I seriously don't feel like getting married anymore... Especially if it means that I will have my nightmare-free sleep back.

There's a HUGE sack of potato on my head!



That's how i feel right now.

The doctor had diagnosed me having a viral infection in my "tekak" sampai bengkak that had caused me to cough non-stop for the past two weeks. However, after giving me the necessary meds to get well, and after taking it twice, I now have a HUGE headache!!! Oh yeah, and I vomitted in the car on the way to work this morning (nasib baik ada plastic extra dalam keta). Gosh! Why do you have to get new illness to get well? I just don't understand...



**********



I haven't been blogging much lately due to the hectic schedule *sigh*. However, I am still not out of loop with my favourite blogs, thanks to google read. So...........
  1. Congrats to the fairygodmother! You finally get what you've wished for. I am so happy when you've confirmed the runour. Can't wait to meet the new princess or prince in a few months time!
  2. Congrats to the newlyweds, hyelbaine & wife. It was a lovely ceremony and both of you looked radiant.

The week that was....



I have had a very hectic week last week.

Apart from all the busy schedule (meetings, networking sessions with the boss, and many more), I had also rushed back to Kelantan late Thursday evening due to the passing of a young cousin.

He died a very young age, 26. It saddens me to watch his parents, trying to put up a brave face after burying their son.

I was back in the office by Friday after lunch and was already busy rushing to finalise the urgent documents for an upcoming trip. *sigh*

Saturday saw me running all across town when Ms Boss sent me to attend a meeting with our project consultants in Ampang. A meeting on a Saturday!!! Luckily the meeting ended early and I had time to catch my breath before the test make-up session in the late afternoon. Penat wooo...

2 great things that I am thankful of on Sunday:
1. the fast and worry-free e-filling submission
2. the great 1 hour foot reflexology




binx: I hate monday!

If you are in need of a good massage, please take a drive to TTDI and drop by FOREVERCARE traditional massage center.

The center is partly own by my mom and had just recently opens its door to the public. Now mom finally gets her wish to own a spa... well close...

The place offers various traditional Chinese treatments such as foot reflexology, herbal foot bath, traditional Tui Na therapy, acupuncture, and many more. Furthermore, the treatments are actually being done by therapists that came straight from the mainland of China (so there might be some communication difficulty at first... but just get the person who mends the counter or even my mom - if she's there, to help you out).

So far I've tried out the traditional Tui Na theraphy to ease my back pain and also the foot reflexology treatment. Ok laa not that bad... I am planning to try the aromatherapy massage during my next visit to the center.

For those of you that lives around the area, do drop by and try out the 2-hour foot reflexology & herbal foot bath + Tui Na Therapy body massage only for a promotional price of RM88 only.

You can call 03 7728 1148 for early reservation or you can just walk in.

The center is located at:

binx: if only i can get free massages for this.... :)

On being a professional juggler



It has been quite a challenging 3 months of my life.

After only a month into the job, my boss had to abandon me to look after her sick mother. I had to struggle alone battling an unfinished war with a so-called 'Director' of a government agency that had proposed to buy a highly specialised equipment for a highly specialised industry before finding a willing company that would undertake the particular project (guess which co. HAD to accept to undertake the project?). *sigh*

Apart from that, I had to take on another project, on top of the current one, and had to liaise with a very slick-talker china-man businessman. He will provide me with different versions of the same story every time we meet. I know that I'm in for a very rough road ahead if the proposed project goes through in the near future.

Ms Boss had finally to come back to work after 2 months of absence. And after going through the project status, she decided to have a run-through with our CEO, to brief him on the updates. At first I thought it was only for the 1st project. However, she happily told me that since we have managed to secure a slot with the CEO, we might else well brief him on both projects plus another new project that she had been mulling over.

All this in the span of 4 days!

The briefing is Friday and I have 4 days to complete the presentation materials and slides. Not to mention to prepare financial forecast for both projects!!!

It's now 11.30 p.m. and guess what I am doing on my bed?






binx: i hate spreadsheets!
