after 3 months’ delaying and finding excuses

after 8 nights of partially ignoring my kids

after waking up at 2am today and not being able to get back to sleep as too many thoughts were going through my mind to allow it to rest

after 3 hours and 30 minutes of wondering why the hell i decided to take up this exam..

/me pumps her fist enthusiastically ! warghh!!!

i am finally certified! ….as sane and of sound mind… heh..

drinks all around !!

ok. so there’s Eid Fitri .. which was ok all in all.

then it was back to work. there was chaos surrounding some unpaid amount of work performed. which i ended up being smack in the eye of the storm of this matter. an eye-opener though, of what i shouldn’t do in any of my future undertakings

then there was the final module for my pmp. honestly, didn’t allocate enough time prior to go through either books (pmbok & the study guide).. so planned to cram (and NOT burn, hopefully) over the long weekend in order to be ready for my certification exam this friday.

then murphy struck.. both kids started breaking out on thursday in spots. not the fun, colorful type like skeebo (of jojo’s circus fame).. but the red, blotchy and itchy type.

so between feeding the kids medication, ensuring they don’t scratch themselves, reading chapters and trying to summarise from memory what i’ve managed to soak up.. i didn’t set a foot outside of my own compound.

and last nite, had this conversation with kakak after i had requested that she help looking out for her brother while i try to revise a bit more.

kakak (k): mama, how long do you need to read your books?

me: until this friday – once i am done with my assessment and pass it, mama won’t need to read at night.

k: why do you read books at night? why don’t you read in the day like me?

me: coz mama work in the day la sayang.

k: ok.. but then on saturday, you have to take me to butterfly park and sunday, we have to watch high school musical 3, ok?!

what else can i do but agree?

KY’s giving away tickets – true to kiasu-ness, though am not sure what i’ll be up to then – just wanna get hold of the tix now!

when the first movie was released – was subjected to continous replays as kakak absolutely loved it – esp the king lemur…. let’s see how the producers out-do themselves on the sequel

the requisite poster in the blog entry

a poem for KY

i have a blog
my blog is blue
i have a friend with tixs to give away
and my friend is you!

now gimme gimme!!

this day 8 years ago was my final day as an unemployed undergraduate (if you want to just count the job that mattered)

i didn’t know what to expect for 16th Oct 2000 – my repeated calls to those who recruited me (you know who you are) told me that i’d be expected to do everything – as the company was a start-up and the skies’ the limit.

if i knew then what i knew now.. would i have turned down the offer? – not a chance.. it allowed me to forge new friendships – friendships that i hope will last a lifetime…. identified roles models… learn to respect integrity at work.. have seen the uglier side of the corporate world..

here’s to 8 years…. and counting (?)

let’s see what the future holds..
