Overwhelmed

I wanted to write about me being overwhelmed with work and that today I spent half the day conducting capability assessment for ONE person! I think I was more drained than the person being assessed. Thank God for the fried rice courtesy of Haslina the ever so dutiful mother and wife (is that right?) and the curry puffs and kuih bakar provided by the organizer of the assessment sessions. Even with that, I was hungry by lunch time.

Instead of lamenting on the usual stuff about work, usual being too many initiatives going on, there is no follow-through, difficult clients, I would like to write about things today that made my day.

1. Since I was soo tired yesterday, I slept at 9pm after supervising Aliah's Maths and BM homework. That was the only thing that I managed to do last night. I woke up this morning feeling better and ready to face the office.
2. Yeay....my boss is still in Singapore even though pesanan penaja was already sent through her Blackberry.
3. The Nescafe drink I made this morning was excellent.
4. The lunch companion I had was also excellent and maybe us being preggers (even though she is 14 years younger, 3 months ahead and is in her prime child-bearing years as opposed to me) made it easy to get a table at 4th Floor Rasa.
5. Sales have started in KLCC for CNY. I just like sales and not necessarily want to buy anything.
6. Bumped into this guy from MPO HR and commented that he has put on weight (yeah, since I have this extra meat around my hips, it gives me great pleasure to say that someone else has put on weight)
7. Macam tak cukup diary, mintak diary kat orang lain (the RBS black diary nak jugak, thanks Bapak MAY)
8. The new flatties from Coach that I wore today was so comfortable despite my bunions.
9. Balik cepat.
10. Makan ciku shared with husband dearest in the car on the way home. Ciku was very sweet.
11. Question husband and as expected he answers me with questions. So when he asked me would I miss him if he died, I asked him "How can you ask me a question like that?"
12. Plan to eat Japanese with husband dearest tomorrow! I crave Japanese food....hint! hint! The pregnancy when I could drink coffee and at a lot of Japanese food I had a boy!

Yes....I love empty note books (which explains the diary), I am better with a good night's sleep, sweet drinks and fruits seem to alleviate my nausea, I splurged on myself last month (the Coach black patent shoes), I feel less pressured when the cat is not around, I do want to justify my reason for existence (supervising Aliah's homework) and I love the times spent with husband dearest without the kids....now who will be paying for that Japanese dinner at Equatorial huh?
