Testing…testing…good, it’s still working. I haven’t posted in this wee blog for quite a while because there’re more important stuff that crops up everytime I login to post an entry. Like yesterday, I had to make my move on Scrabulous and watch an episode of Grey’s Anatomy before going to bed. I’ve been putting aside reading the textbook for my Management of Information Organization class because its quite dry and boring. Good to read if you’re having insomnia and can’t fall asleep, the book will put you to sleep within 10 to 15 minutes at most. Since it’s lunch time now, thought I’d just sneak in to post an entry before going down for a walk. I’m just freaking tired during the fasting month.

About a month ago, I decided to try a different hair salon near my work place to have my hair cut. It was the worst hair cut I had ever had in my entire life. My hair was horribly layered until there were short ends jutting out all over the place. I tried rebonding my hair which only worsened the condition of my hair as it became very dry. It was very embarrassing to be seen with such bad hair. In the end, I went to Courts to purchase a straightening iron and applied some special hair products that had to be ordered online just to tame my poofy hair. The haircut was not the end of my misery. The chemicals from the hair colour product they used made my scalp very itchy for many days. That would be the first and last time I would go to the hair salon. It taught me a lesson. I should have gone back to my regular hairdresser.

I’m having a long weekend because tomorrow is my day off and Friday is a public holiday. It’s a much needed break although I’ll be spending most of the time catching up with my assignments and hopefully study for my exams. However, I’m not going to do anything much tomorrow except spend the day with my hubby, Wari because it’s our 10th wedding anniversary. Wow, I can’t believe we’ve been married for a decade. And to think that it all started with a local BBS (Bulletin Board System) known as East Muddy. I wonder where our friend, Ismadi is today. He was the sys admin of the BBS.

I’m still around. Barely… I’m freaking busy with work and school assignments plus my exams are in two weeks’ time. It’s kind of crazy because I’m taking three modules this semester and my exams are on three consecutive days. Just thinking about it makes me nervous and I feel a tight knot in my stomach. I really need a break after the exams.

Recently, I’ve been taking my dinner late at night because my classes usually finish around 9.30 pm. As a result, I’m putting on some weight, especially now that I’m hardly exercising. I know it’s just an excuse to blame it on my lack of time, but I really don’t have the mood now that my exams are just around the corner. I promise myself to get back on the treadmill or brisk walking once I have cleared my exams.

I got tired of looking at the old design. Furthermore, after upgrading WordPress, some of my favourite links disappeared from the website, so I decided to give it a new look with light green colour. I like the close up of the water droplets because it’s very refreshing.

Happy Birthday to you.
Happy Birthday to you.
Happy Birthday to Aliya.
Happy Birthday to you!

I love you baby!

The thought of going back to work next week makes me feel nauseous and I start having heart palpitations. The situation at work also drives my blood pressure up to the ceiling.

I need to rest this week because when my school term starts next week, life becomes very hectic.

I must attend Aliya’s nursery orientation at 3.00 pm.

Off-in-lieu for Saturday duty on 30 December 2006.

I have decided on a To Do List for 2007:

1. Complete my Master’s dissertation.
- I am still in a holiday mood. I expect to be in full swing when term starts next week on Monday, 8 January.

2. Look for a new job?
- I am currently contemplating whether I should quit my job and concentrate on my studies this year. It is not easy to juggle work, school and family at the same time. Lack of focus in any one area can be quite detrimental.

3. Spend more time with my family.
- My schedule is so tight that when term starts, I tend to spend less time with my family. I must make sure that Sundays are strictly for family only.

4. Travel to New Zealand.
- This is also a “must do” for this year. I have started saving money for this trip since August 2006.

5. Clear out the junk.
- This is an ongoing task. Whenever I see something that I have not used for ages, I would either throw the item or put it in the recycling bin.

Well, my To Do List is actually more than what I have stated above but these are at the top of my mind right now. I have stopped making New Year resolutions such as “I should exercise more to keep fit” or “I must lose weight”. I know they are not going to happen.

Here’s wishing all my friends and family a Happy and Prosperous New Year!

Subject registration for next semester starts at 9.00 am. Must remember to login and register early otherwise I will not get to take the subjects of my choice.

The good news is, I passed my exams with grades that are better than I expected. The bad news is, something happened at work which made my morale crash right to the bottom of the pit. I can’t elaborate about it here because as you know, big brother is keeping close watch of our blogs. Meanwhile, have a great long weekend ahead, my friends!
