All I Want To Do is Have Some Fun

All I want to do, is have some fun.....remember that Sheryl Crow's song? Ohhhh I am really looking forward to have some fun.

 

Husna is in her mid term exam this week. The moment she showed me the timetable for the exam, I told her to study hard and be careful when answering the questions. She came close to my ear and whispered, "Don't worry mama. The exam is so easy". That had really made me laugh out loud. Perhaps she was over already for fun times in the kindy. She really is looking forward for the new school. The real one. That maybe when she can experience the real fun.

 

Huda is the exact opposite of Husna. She just couldn't care less what's going on at school, especially the homework. She just wants to have fun. One day last week, nenek told me Husna discarded Huda's book in the garbage bin in her effort to force Huda to do her homework. Of course Huda cried, since Husna was also beating her at the same time. Husna is forcing Huda to be like her. Very diligent, do homework, be serious, etc, which she is the exact opposite. Homework is a real killer for Huda. You know what she loves the most - gadgets. She loves to play around with the gadgets - handphone, laptop, anything that moves mechanically. So school is just a place to have fun for her. I need to find a good school for Huda to get her to love going to school.

 

Eusoff is obsessed with fans. Electrical fans, toy fans, you name it. The flowers are fans. My brooch in the shape of a flower is also a fan. I like the way he pronounces the word - Phhhaaannn - That would really makes him excited. I just sent him for jab last week. He was 2.3 years when I sent him for the 1.5 year jab. So he has to undergo another 2 jabs around these few months. Ouchhh...my pocket also koyak. No fun at all.

Mr.X is going to TR soon. That means I have to drive to Pasir Gudang everyday from Skudai. Oh man....this is really something that I dread. Maybe hiring a driver is not a bad idea after all. Bila la aku nak dapat driver sponsored pulakkk....

 

Work has been crazy. Tons of emails, meetings, people want to see you on the spot, people want to make an appointment, workers on strike, people don't want to do jobs they promised to do, staff quits, hiring new staff, heaty office which needs new aircond, merger of 2 divisions, people re-shuffle, people don't get paid, making a presentation, etc. The best part of the job - an office with a pretty good view. I could see the Straits of Johor, the road which links Sembawang to Changi, how many ships ply the straits daily, ships coming/leaving the shipyard, government patrol boats, sometimes helicopters monitoring the straits, and also people who are not working when they are supposed to work.

 

That is why I need to have some fun. Some of my family members will visit my nephew in Hartford, UK this school holiday. He is sent there for 3-months training. My sister wants to take this opportunity to discover UK and Paris. Save on accommodation. Try to fit 7 people in 1 flat. It will fit, because it's in UK. Oh how I wish I can join you all. My annual leave only left 10.5 days, after that 5 days minus visiting India in February. If I were to join this trip, I will have to use another 8 solid days. That means 2.5 days for raya and what not after that. That is a major put off. This is the disadvantage when you're working for other people.

 

OKlah, enough of today's thoughts. I will have a major presentation tomorrow to the no. 2 man of the company. I need lots of energy. Time to go for afternoon siesta.
