♥ A New Year, A New Beginning... Again
Firstly, happy new year everyone! I may be 4 days late, but I just could not find the time to write nor the mood to write in the last days of 2005. Actually I have a lot to tell, but when I have the time to write, I'd forget all about it and it won't be the same without the enthusiasm.
Anyway, I miss writing. I have this note book for me to jot down anything I'd like to write. But it always happen to be at the wrong place at the right time. I have to do something about this and I'll keep it in my bag where ever I go.
I spent the last couple of weeks buried in tonnes of work. But I managed to sneak out to go shopping on Christmas eve(I usually do this every year just for the sake of discounts on bargains - I know that it sounds pathetic, but I need to save up and I see that this is the best way). I went shopping at KLCC. And guess what, being a shopaholic, I got myself a 100ml perfume from CD (won't mention which one), 4 pairs of new heels (which I don't even know when I'd be wearing them) and some personal stuff. Looking and my spending in one day, I'd say that to save up is quite impossible.
Well, I felt great that day. But today, I feel like I just can't wait for this month's pay day. The following week (30th Dec), I finished up my unrecorded leave and went to KLCC again. But this time, I was just there to catch a movie and have lunch. I rushed back and went straight to Alamanda to meet my cute 'boyfriend' who flew in from Bandung for a concert on New Year's day. I kind of felt out of place seeing all the teenagers and suddenly felt like I was in Bandung myself with people here and there speaking their language with the slang. I just found a corner and sat there with my friends. And then something unexpected happened. Peterpan was brought to the stage and they passed us! I saw Ariel (the vocalist of Peterpan and whom I really adore) within 2 feet away from me! As other fans would be screaming their lungs out, I just stared and froze. HE WAS SO CUTE! And I just stood there in awe.
Peterpan was in Alamanda in conjuction with their concert and they were for the meet the fans session for half an hour. Ariel just sang one verse of Tak Bisakah. But that was enough for me. Because till this day, when I remember that day, I'd be putting on this silly grin on my face.
The last day of 2005 I once again went to Alamanda. This time to buy an entertainment rack at Carrefour and went to Secret Recipe to get a cake for my mom's surprise birthday party at my uncle's house. My mom got a pair of baju kurung from my uncle and another birthday cake (which was also from SR) and a card. My mom said that my youngest brother and I didn't even bother to wish her happy birthday, let alone give her a present. We just kept quite and smiled. My dad from Mekah called to wish her happy birthday and so did my other brother who is still studying. I gave my mom's present after Maghrib. She was speechless because I gave her a watch that is more or less like the watch my dad gave her a couple years back and was stolen in a mosque while she was performing her solat. She just stood there looking at the watch with tears in the corner of her eyes waiting to fall and thanked me with two kisses.
And now it is already a new year. My last year's resolution had to be carried forward to this year. And I don't think that I'd be making new resolutions. Just trying to fulfill the past years resolution.
Oh.. I forgot to mention that there was this time my dad called from Mekah. It was his second phone call and he asked me if anyone has asked my hand in marriage. I laughed and he said that he had prayed that I find my soulmate soon. He reminded me to never give up in praying for my soulmate and try not to be too serious and smile more. I laughed at that remark but I know that it is true. My friends say that I would have a 'fierce' look on my face if I walk alone. I think that it comes naturally. I have a feeling of inferior when it comes to being alone. So, to overcome this problem, I'd put on a serious face (some call it my fierce face) during schooldays. But I guess it has become a habit. But I do smile a lot. Maybe on certain times I'd be too serious. Okay, I'll have to work on that.
Anyway, after my dad said that he had prayed for me to settle down soon, I was fought over two people in my office - my boss and a coordinator in my office. The problem is that they fought over me because each of them wants me to be under them. Actually there is a new unit here and the coordinator would like me to handle the administration stuff in the unit (and no other responsibilities). But I was appointed in the center itself and my job spec involves things I do now. The 2 people fighting over me are women. My colleague teased me and said that maybe my dad said the wrong prayers because women were fighting over me and not men. I laughed out loud at the remark.
So, one thing for sure, my new year resolution would be smile more and wait for people (men) fighting over me. Ha..ha..
Happy New Year people!
