waiting for february :)

Posted by: sugarnova on: January 17, 2010

cant wait for february! :) cos it’ll be my birthday month. celebrating the big 3-0. gonna embrace the age with grace and poise. no use hiding or running away from the fact. yang penting, i still look good at 30. and more importantly, looking better at 30 than i was at 20 *glee*

i’ve been window shopping for my birthday bags. 2 bags & 1 iphone it shall be. spender with much splendour. huhu.

me being me, yang mahal tu lah yang saya berkenan *tsk* i’ve got an eye for (expensive) taste.

the LV, the gucci and the iphone :)

oh, i love delayed gratification. and purposely save the purchases of dearly priced items for special reasons. i’m sentimental like that.

february, baybeh!

the first week without you

Posted by: sugarnova on: January 16, 2010

so the baby has left for kl last tuesday. i miss him, but i should do ok. ok; not fine. cos just a day after that, i started coughing. and then i knew that was the first warning sign that asthma was a-coming.

wednesday was a bad day to take leave cos 2 teachers in my dept were away, plus i had to meet a parent that same afternoon. thursday was a bad day to take mc as well, cos die-die must do the departmental meeting. but by thursday, i surrendered. i gave up. got myself a much needed mc on friday.

most thought that my loss of voice was due to sorethroat. they werent even close. it was due to mucus that was beginning to choke up my airway in the lungs. thus, affecting my ability to throw out my voice. and i kept coughing real bad.

friday’s bed rest did me a lot of good :) i’m much better now. not fully recovered, but much better :) from now on, shall not try to push my luck. once the usual asthma symptoms show up, i shall go to the doc and get my meds asap before it worsens. been there done that.

so today, run errands day, it shall be. pay credit card bills, buy facial products, be his PA and help with his banking matters.

sunday 10 jan

the beautiful sunday was a blast!

i cooked and we ate :) the mr came over to my place. we had dinner with my parents. did our maghrib & isya’ prayers as a jemaah. nothing beats that beautiful feeling knowing that the other half can get along well with my dad (especially) and that he has earned himslf some brownie points *glee*

two more days. i dont know if i can handle the withdrawal symptoms (over & over) again….

least now, i can close my eyes and picture how the mr looks like when he smiles.

week 1

Posted by: sugarnova on: January 9, 2010

it has been a super long week. not a day was spent idle. perhaps thats why my body went into schock mode and i fell ill yesterday.

no matter what, still put on a brave front and helped ensure that last night event went smoothly possible, where the sl were concerned.

still trying to figure myself out. what do i do best?

the folder that was most often clicked on was the one that is named “admin”. it’s no longer “teaching resources”. i need to feel like a teacher. admin matters can bog me down. shall not complain. am trying hard to carry this added responsibility the best possible.

that, and the 5 hr long budget meeting the day before.

it kills me inside, slowly. a bit. when the mr is back in sg and i have to put him 2nd. when work takes the #1 seat.

i’m thankful that he understands and doesnt play the blame game. such is him whom i shall not take for granted, i pray.

and off i go now for our picnic by the beach :)

lets see

lets see. some things can be such heart pain. to be blatantly ignored. shall not contact anyone from this point on. lets see whether anyone bother to check whether i’m still alive. i bet you nobody cares.

ciao.

the matters that matter

my return here goes unannounced an unnoticed. a familiar that has been de-familiarised. i kinda like it here. where it is pretty much obvious yet unknowned. with the rise if tweeter & fb, nobody reads blogs anymore.

obvious yet unnoticed. how very real it is in life. everybody hears, but not everyone listens. to be sensitive to words in between the lines. to pick up the little hints thrown. but nobody picks. cos everybody hears, but nobody listens.

but shhh. silence! shall i let myself free in here while i talk to myself (somehow)?

mass & mess

the thing about ageing is…..

back in 2003, i was 44 kg. it was easy peasy.

fast forward 6 years later… nak get back to that weight macam setengah maut.

it takes huge efforts and sacrifices for me to even maintain my current 48 kg weight.

sacrifices? i no longer drink carbonated drinks or munch snacks (tho there are times i succumb to sweet tempatations of the gastronamical sort) efforts? i do 6 km jogs for at least thrice a week. that’s big news for me, hokay. way big news. cos back in sch when i was a (nerdy, unpopular & quiet -as i choose to believe) student, i resented, no, make that LOATHED doing the 2.4 for napfa test.

approaching 30. flabby flappy arms and bulging tummy. oh the horror!

repeat after self: 30 is good. embrace being a woman with grace.

hell yeah. at least i have my own credit cards *wheee*

and you thought this is dead *NOT*

huhu. been busy tweeting. nothing much to update except that got news that the former bf got engaged a few days back.

good for him to have found ‘the one’. and, oh, all the best to the new girl in his life to risk a bigger heartache. he said that he has wisen up, will try hard to make this one work and not go try to have some ’spare tyres’ along the way. we’ll see. whatever it is i pray the best for them; actually more for her lah :p

but enough of the shlumtz. out goes the old news.

moving on to happier things :) my mr will be back in 4 days *glee* we have no idea what we wanna do…

i only wanna gaze into his eyes and trace his smile :)

missing you is an understatement, honey.
