Shorter. Still
In my last entry, I said that I will be cutting the hair even shorter right? Well crazy me, i did it! Then almost immediately when the bits of hair were strewn all over Jean Yip's floor, i regretted my actions. How long will it take my hair to grow back? Sigh. I just realised that my face looks super fat with my super short hair. Heh.
Have a great weekend, everybody. <3

Hair.Raising Issues
After much procrastination, I have finally decided to live without my long hair. *sigh* I am going to chop chop chop it all off. Well, not all. But a huge chunk of it. Now for the most important question, which hairstyle should I go for? I have shortlisted some of my favourites (as below) and now I am having a difficult time deciding.
I hate making life changing decisions. :p

Sick
I am going through a bout of constant vomitting. My throat's all scratchy and each time I even try to sit up or get up, my head literally spins. And Haziq's craving for attention is not helping. He happens to be enjoying the fact that he's not in school and I, too am at home. Disregarding his super sick mummy, he will climb onto me and says, 'Mummy, horse. Mummy,horse'. Aaaahhh. The joys of having a 2 year old.
Hoping that I will get better soon. Loads of work awaits.

Personal Ailment
My nose is as runny as a broken tap, the back is feeling a tad sore. And the massive headache is not helping either. Probably its time to wind down a wee bit and rest. I have been so tied up with work that I have not been having much rest. So i guess the body is creating a riot right now.
Saturday was spent tidying up a report which by hook or by crook needs to be out on Monday. I dread doing this report as it is done on excel format. Imagine trying to match figures and update 33k worth of data on excel. Ugh. The thought itself is enough to give me a week's worth of migraine. But thats work for me. This project is uber important as it will definitely boost up the chances of getting transferred out a different department, when the opportunity arise of course.
The department that I am part of right now is not that bad. I have a really nice supervisor whom has been pretty understanding with everything that I have been through. Environment is not as bad as Citi however, I do not foresee myself as being in this position forever. I would like to be in a position where I actually applied whatever that I have studied. I mean, what has mass comm got to do with what I am doing now? This is just a stepping stone for me to move forward to other departments, say marketing? I have to admit that I am a little tired of being in a financial/banking industry. Being in an industry which I have zero interest in for the past 5 years is more than what one could actually take. However, to move on to a different industry would mean that I would have to start right from the bottom, which at my age, I do not perceive it as a viable move. So what do I do? Stay and just keep up with this mundane routine or move on and seek greener pastures?
Sigh. I am clearly disoriented right now.

Naufal Haziq Turned 2
He turned 2 on Friday, 15th May. Brought him to ToysRus to choose his own prezzie. Initial plan was to bring him to a disney themed restaurant at Anchorpoint after shopping, however upon reaching, we realised that the restaurant has ceased operations. So we had to settle for Secret Recipe.
Saturday, 16th May, we went to Sentosa Underwaterworld and Dolphin Lagoon since lill Haziq loves fishies.
Last bit of his birthday celebrations was a birthday lunch on Sunday, 17th May at Kintamani Indonesian Restaurant - Furama Riverfront Hotel. Attended by close family members.
Hope you had a blast on your 2nd birthday, baby. More to come, Insya Allah. I love you. <3
Of April Antics And May Madness
I have not been updating this blog for a super long time. Almost 2 months? So much has happened and its just a tad too lengthy to go into details right now. Everything has just been crazy. And frankly, i am drained. Emotionally, mentally and physically.
I shall not elaborate on what took place to make me feel the way I have been feeling. Its just friggin pointless to remind myself of all the despondence. Lets just focus on the highlights of my life right now.
I thank God for work has kept me insanely occupied. Pretty caught up in a project which I felt was the opportunity for me to step up to the plate and showcase my abilities. Imagine coming back to the office on days when you are on mc/scheduled leave, working from home despite being super sick at one point. After 11 weeks of slogging, the pain paid off. We exceeded expectations and I finally felt that it was all worth my while when the other department (the one which literally squeezed every bit of my brain juice - or whatever thats left of it) sang my praises to the GM. Now I have been entrusted with the same project - Octo 2 which is expected to surpass results from Octo 1. Hopefully I will be able pull it off a 2nd time. If I do, then I could be convinced of a fantastic appraisal next year. Insya Allah.
May 15th saw Naufal Haziq turning 2. I am beginning to believe that the Terrible Twos syndrome is not just hearsay. Haziq has grown to be quite a handful. He has learnt how to point to the door to ask me to get out of the vicinity whenever I scold him. He has learnt that if he does not want to walk, he should just squat down wherever and wait for me to cave and carry him. He has learnt that by wailing at the top of his lungs, he will get what he wants. And most importantly, he has learnt that if I do not give in to his demands, he should just go to Bibik or Abah and they will be most obliging. Despite it all, he is still the one that matters most to me. He is the first one I look forward to seeing at the beginning of every new day and the last person I want to hold before I close my eyes at night.
A break is much needed right now. Am sooooo looking forward to June 19th. Sunway, with sis and my loved ones. More so, I am wishing that I can just skip to October so that we will be able to focus on our 10day long vacation.
p/s: Was fb hopping and I am just so envious of a particular someone who just has it all. *sigh*
If insatiable desire is a sin, then forgive me for I am so a sinner....
