Feeling of victory

Friday, 21st May,2010, was the day that i would always remember..that was the day when i finally ended my journey less travelled. I have passed my AFAR paper of MIA QE..the last paper!!

It was surely an agony waiting for the results to be out..felt like vomitting..couldn't even breathe properly..but it all paid off ..phew..!!!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank those dearest to me especially my hubby, kids, parents, families of both sides, friends and also my staff in my department.. They all contribute to this victory in their own ways.

I have been waiting for this moment..am feeling very happy and proud of myself..

Thank u all..for supporting me..u mean the world to me..

20/20 Eyesight..

Just came back from PESAYA official opening at SUKPA. Tired but partly proud when i saw Elissa standing tall with her other ASSUNTA GIRLS performing their choir. I could see Elissa from afar, standing at the back row,(third from right). She really enjoyed herself..proudly and bravely waving at the crowd..

PESAYA is the annual sport for all the State foundations and this year, Yayasan pahang is the host.

Got the chance to meet Elissa's teacher while having tea after the performance. The teacher mistakenly thought that i was Elissa's sister..Hah..bior betul..well it was a credit to me.

Actually, i think, the teacher was mistaken me for Hilda, my eldest daughter who was also her student then. (Many said that Hilda looks exactly like me.).or..probably because the outfit i was in today..sports t-shirt and casual pants and sport shoes..or probably the teacher was too tired and couldnt see things properly...hehe..sorry cikgu..i hope i was wrong.

i think cikgu sees things with her heart, not just with her bare eyes..hehe..

TQ CIKGU FOR MAKING MY DAY..

What a WOMAN should have...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE... enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of her own, even if she never wants to or needs to... A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ... something perfect to wear if the employer, or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour... A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .. a youth she's content to leave behind.... A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ... a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to retelling it in her old age.... A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .. a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra... A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ... one friend who always makes her laugh... and one who lets her cry... A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .... a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family... A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ... eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a recipe for a meal, that will make her guests feel honored... A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ... a feeling of control over her destiny... EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW... how to fall in love without losing herself.. EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW... how to quit a job, break up with a lover, and confront a friend without; ruining the friendship... EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW... when to try harder... and WHEN TO WALK AWAY... EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW... that she can't change the length of her calves, the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents.. EV ERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW... that her childhood may not have been perfect...but its over... EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW... what she would and wouldn't do for love or more... EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW... how to live alone... even if she doesn't like it... EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW.. whom she can trust, whom she can't, and why she shouldn't take it personally... EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW... where to go... be it to her best friend's kitchen table... or a charming inn in the woods... when her soul needs soothing... EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW... what she can and can't accomplish in a day... a month...and a year...

Alone with the kids..

My hubby has just started his new project which requires him to travel thruout M'sia for the next one year. One year babe.. No kidding..which means i hv to b on my own with the kids four days a week for the next one year. He will b home just for the weekemd. Not so bad...sacrifice le kan..and i think this time is worth the efforts n sacrifices. Insyaallah.

In the mean time, i managed to persuade my sister's neighbour to stay with me during his absence..(of course not for free lah kan...where got free one nowadays. E/thg comes with a price babe..) anyway it was so kind of her to help...that was really great.

See how things go for the next few weeks. Hope i can get used to things n handle them myself.

I need somebody to be home when elissa gets home from school in the afternoon. Otherwise she is home alone for 2 hours until hilda gets home. It's only 2 hours but anythg could happen within just a short period of time (nauzubillah...) and she is too young to be home alone.
That is the main reason for wanting to hv somebody to stay with me., apart from that...to cook lunch for the kids lah...

Well..so far so good..she is doing fine n seems to know what to do around the house. Ringan tulang sangat walaupun saiz badan x berapa ringan. Hehe. She loves to cook. The 'air tangan' also not bad. I hv done my groceries tday n look fwd to see what is happening tmoro.

Till then, good nite bloggers...

This time it's Kenny Rogers...

After Assunta Sports Day, we all decided to hv lunch at kennyRogers. It was elissa's pick again.



Many pple there...tables were mostly occupied and we managed to park ourselves at a not so strategic spot - next to the sink.

Orders were taken but it took quite s/time for the food to arrive. Yes understood it was a big crowd there..

While waiting for food, my mind started 'boggling'..why can't they expect the crowd tday? Given the fact that tday is the last weekend of the month, (which most pple already recd their pay cheques for the month...gomen sure dh masuk gj..) I'm sure the restaurant operator expects the crowd. Afterall, it is not a new phenomena in M'sia whereby the eating places are crowded during this time of the month bila gj kluar. Takkan tak study the pattern of sales made...which days / weeks of the month that sales are peak.

Lagi satu yg i always pelik is why don't most restaurants or even any services for that matter do not study / look into their own capacity. Contohnya, if u provide a capacity of 50 paxs in your restaurant, u should also employ enough manpower to man the space capacity that u created. Otherwise, it does not balance and your capacity is actually falls back on how many paxs that each one of your staff could handle. If one staff can only serve 5 pple at one time, then having only 6 staff would not be sufficient to cater for 50 paxs. In this case, the capsaity is only (5x6) 30 paxs, not 50 paxs. That was just my 'perkiraan bodoh' that may not make much sense to some pple. But that has been on my mind everytime i encountered similar incidents like tday.

One more thing...the gravy for the chicken was cair. Confirmed..the gravy was not enough to go around. So, cairkan sikitlah.... That is the
trick right?


Wait till i come back again to kenny rogers on a normal day..probably on the 17ish of the month, and i will tell u the different. But that is not good bcoz in business, we hv to be consistently good in servicing our cudtomers no matter at which time of the month or day.

Am not criticizing bcoz i just like to complain or write for no reasons but i feel obliged n really want to see some changes in our service
industry - at least setanding dgn negara luar - at least what we get worth the money spent...

I will also give credits when due.. Sent via iPhone.
