A Homemaker’s Diary

I hate to wake up to work on Monday. But I did and though not much was done at work on Moday, I felt teribbly tired. I tried to stay awake to watch Everybody Loves Raymond on Astro but half way through I just could not open my eyes. Aarghh..the agony of work or more to having to go to work…So I slept around 9:30pm and woke up around 8am on Tuesday morning, feeling much, much better.

It was Tuesday and I had the whole day attending induction. The information condensed briefing given by the 4 managers were enough to kill any functional brain. By the end of it I had headache, not so much due to the induction session but I think because I did not have rice for my lunch…hahhaha…oh yeah, one of the bosses treated us Dim Sum at Cyberview Garden’s Chinese restaurant…it was halal definitely…there’s a plus minus in this working world definitely…

Oh…3 of us had to move to back end office because EM people need the cubicles to do their testing. So at the end of the day, I had to pull out all the cables, moved my CPU, keyboard , mouse and flat panel to the new cubicle, even pushed the pedestal to the temporary place just to get comfortable for the next day work.

Once I reached home, I felt very,very tired and feel like sleeping after dinner. I watered the plants and then I realized my henna plant has leaves…only few days ago while I was trimming the grass I thought of pulling the branch out from the polybag because it seems not to be growing at all. The wonder of living, just when you thought there’s no hope, it blooms and shows us how incredible the miracle of life can be…

Oh the good part of the day, I called my old, good friend to ask for her favour and we exchanged stories and news…some people never change over the years, and it feels really comforting to have that kind of people in your life…and to wrap up my day, Hubby fried me the Pacific West Seafood combo..thanks honey…nyeh nyeh…

I’m off to sleep, another day at work tomorrow…wish it’s Friday rather than Wednesday..isk isk…(do I really hate to work that much?? ) hehehe…

It’s been quite a while since my last proper update. I have lots of story to share, mainly about work but after coming back from office I just feel so tired to even on my PC. After all I’m trying to reduce my electricity bills which have been accumulating like crazy due to my CPU 400W power supply. Since I’ve started to work again and won’t be in front of the PC all the time, I will be using less air cond in this SOHO room and hopefully that too will help to reduce my electricity usage. We’ll see how it works next month…. :))

Oh btw, I am utilising my weekend time to the optimum, gardening, doing laundry, cleaning up…all the usual house chores which I have been missing ever since I stop being full time homemaker…(did I really miss those chores…I doubt it…hahaha..)..but surely after almost a year of daily routine it might feel helpless not to be able to do it on leisure basis..I miss those time, clean up the kitchen, meanwhile dump the dirty clothes in the washing machine, then 1/2 an hour in front of the PC chatting, then continue scrubbing the toilet, rest for a while, chat again, 5pm cook dinner, after 11:30pm take the ultimate rest watching all kind of sitcoms on Astro until wee hour, sleep throughout the morning until noon…never bother about what blouse to match with what tudung…well, I’m on the working track again..still adjusting to balance both life..i’m getting the grasp of it…oh the best part of working again, my pay day is this Monday…maybe that’s the only thing I look forward after all….later ok..i’m sleepy..

Kan best kalau boleh jadi superwoman, leh buat keje dgn pantas, so tak byk masa terbuang..hahaha..balik keje tak penat, boleh masak dinner utk hubby, kemas rumah, basuh kain, sidai kain, lipat baju, iron baju, tudung etc, siapkan baju utk hubby pakai esok hari..sambil2 tgk Astro…lagi best kalau tak cukup tido pon tak penat, tak ngantuk…best kan???!

Tapi MQ cuma manusia biasa yg lemah, tak dpt nak penuhi segala keperluan dan kehendak diri mahu pun suami, yg harapkan home made dinner, supper mcm selalu… MQ cuba lakukan apa yang termampu…cuma kadang2 bukan yang terhebat dan terbaik…walaupun MQ dah cuba sedaya upaya… :((

It’s my first working day again..after almost a year break. At first there’s nothing much to do, even the bosses were not in yet until around 10am. So 3 of us took the time to get to know each other, after all we used to work under the same organization though not under the same department. We printed the manuals and realized those manuals did not make any sense to be read. But since Manager S asked Vincent to print all the 84 crap manuals, we just followed the order until Project Manager, SL came in and said that the manuals were more suitable for developers rather than users like us. So we stopped printing and have to find something else to occupy our time.

Tick tock, tick tock..the time ticked ever so slowly until it was lunch time. Another 4-5 hours to going back time, more new manuals which make better sense, short demo and presentation by the ExxonMobil people. I managed to log in to the Card/1 system and changed my password. The system was very user unfriendly. Tomorrow we will be having hands on with the system. At least it would give better view of the system rather than browsing through all the thick manuals.

At last it was time to go home. My brain was tired and we decided to have simple dinner at a nearby restaurant. The problem with eating out is after almost one hour after that we will feel hungry again. Supper time I decided to fry the Pacific West Fish Tempura. It was delicious and really convenient to prepare. Together with Lady’s Choice Tartar Sauce, it was like having Fish n Chip at F1..hahahha…to those who never try Pacific West, it’s highly recommended especially to those who love Fish n Chips…for the chips i have not found any brand which I could recommend yet…

I’m going to sleep now, have to wake up early for work….I want to stay at home again…when it’s the right time, I’ll be a homemaker again…I’ll pray hard for it…Aminnn…
