the birthday of me

(a birthday thingy after berbuka.. thank you abah, mama, nizam, ben and ayiq.. i love you! )

hmm.. it's another birthday... happy birthday to me..lalalalala...

:)

honestly, didn't give it much thought pun.. no party or gathering or anything... mr. tuichi and i even made a deal to not give each other presents (his birthday is 1 week after mine)... my Abah said his present to me is on the 27th of october..hehehe...

like, people always say, a year older, a year wiser.. but i feel i've become so much wiser within just a year.. feels great to have actually accomplished quite a number of things since my last birthday..

i don't really feel like i'm 27.. i'm quite surprised that at times i even forget my own age..and i'm relieved that i don't have that "oh-help-my-biological-clock-is-ticking" syndrome.. age is just a number la.. you choose how you want to live your life..

plus, thank goodness i don't look a day older..heh heh heh.. (perasan!)

now, let's get the birthday business out of the way... beads of sweat have formed on my forehead... brows furrowing.. pulse racing... heart beating furiously..anxiety is starting to set in...


"barang hantaran tunang tak beli lagi!"

panic...panic...panic...


(macam echo effect tu la..)

the newbie

so..it has been 2 weeks. at first rasa macam a bit blur, but i'm getting the hang of it..just need to adapt. me being the impatient person that i am, was kinda feeling a teeny weeny bit depressed because i felt i was so out of place and i wanted to catch up really fast.

then it dawned on me that i'm NEW..duhh.. obviously i need to learn and get adjusted..new people, new system..this is totally different from what i was used to in advertising & events..

for instance:

1. ada clock in/out system with fingerprint (tempat lama dulu tulis kat buku je..so kalau masuk lambat still boleh cover2 line konon lambat 5 minit je, padahal lambat setengah jam..hahaha)

2. the term A&E here is not advertising & events but Accident & Emergency.. (hahaha.. mula2 confused gak when they were mentioning A&E...i was like, what the....?)

3. we start work at 9, and go back at 5pm. SHARP. except if kena attend VIP or ada deadline, which is quite seldom la.

4. there's no WIP (work-in-progress) or contact report (dreaded these things dulu...advertising/events are so fast moving, leceh gile nak update WIP tu)

5. i just realized that i'm not an agency or supplier, i am the CLIENT. Dulu i had to meet the clients' expectations.. (yea, and unfortunately for me, jarang la jumpa client yang baik..most of the time they treat us like dogs..i'm not saying all of them la, but just my luck dapat clients yang unappreciative and yet so stupid and tau nak condemn orang je.. and they're always Malay..ohh..tu yang lagi malu... well that's another entry la kan..)

but now the roles have been reversed :)

6. except that of course, the patients here are the clients la.. and that include the royalties/ambassadors/diplomats that i have to attend to from time to time.. ada tu yang jenis angkuh plak tu.. hmm... sabar je la..

7. sometimes we have to work on sundays. but we get replacement leave. (kat tempat lama dulu, kalau kerja weekends ke, overtime ke, hape ke..patutnya dapat allowance. tapi sampai sekarang pun tak dapat..hahaha...)

8. if we need to do claims, or apply leave, there are many procedures we have to go through la. macam2 procedure...very the serious ok..hhhmmm.. agak scary la..

9. being in a corporate environment.. and obviously a bigger and more established organization compared to my previous employment, it's not surprising that politics are abundant. hahaha.. sedangkan dulu keje kat office kecik pun, politiknye...amboiii...dasyat.. boleh lawan dgn giant companies gak la..

so sheemi, just watch your back.

jangan kacau orang, and orang won't kacau u.

(i hope....)

1st day of fasting

it's 1st of ramadhan.. 1st day berpuasa.. and we always make it a point to berbuka together, my family & i.. memang seronok.. i can't imagine not berbuka-ing with my parents and my brothers on the 1st day of puasa (even when in my uni days, i'll go back to kl to buka puasa..)

yea..i know.. such a daddy's girl..sighh..

and then it hit me.. by next year puasa, i'll become a wife.. and will be breaking fast with my husband, insyaAllah..

i am sooooo looking forward to that..happy happy joy joy! :)

but suddenly i feel a wee bit sad..mata dah berkaca..sebab next year puasa mungkin tak boleh kot buka with my parents..sebab kena buka dgn suami tercinta di rumah kami.. yela, kata dah kahwin kan..

sheemi oh sheemi..ntah hape2 je la.. you cerita like you're staying in perlis and your parents are in kl..hahahaha... sheemi yang whimsical..

(see.. the emotional transformation of me being happy to a lil bit sad to suddenly gelak kuat2..can happen in a split second..or longer. imagine what 'the guy' endures with me every single day..ahahaha..and the best part is he never ever complains..)

i love 'the guy'... he UNDERSTANDS me so well..tu yang best.. tak perlu diberitahu pun..it's as if, he can read my mind and my emotions..

and that's why i'm marrying him

and i know he'll figure out something next year.. so that i can have the best of both worlds..

anything to make me happy :)



selamat berpuasa to all.

let's not forget the significance of Ramadhan..
