Hello strangers!

It's already 2025.

No zombie apocalypse (yet)

Still alive and not dead (yet)

Still fat (yet) 

Anak still 3 (yet) phew

Still working in a bank. Went to interviews, 3 succeed, 1 kecundang at 2nd interview (senior position), another 2 went silent after medical checkup when I have been promised letter of offer. But whatever.

Turned 40.

Still pretty (lol)

Just purchased my first MacBook Air, so that I don't itch to buy new iPhones. My 13 pro still working fine.

I am now a mother to a 13 years old, an 11 years old and a 7 years old.

Post Covid

Sabtu lepas aku start demam dan bila hari Isnin aku buat RTK, confirmed Covid-19.

Sebelum suami aku pun turut sakit petang itu, diikuti dengan dua anak perempuan.

Tapi Covid in kids, alhamdulillah sangat mild, walaupun belum divaksin.

Bila dah sihat, badan tetap rasa tidak sihat. Mood masih gloomy. Teringat waktu kena denggi 4-5 tahun yang lepas, walaupun dah ok, tapi mood rasa gloomy, badan rasa penat. Walaupun post Covid was not as bad as denggue, but still.

I was supposed to WIO yesterday and today but managed to get myself to WFH since I am still coughing. But I think it's the gloomy feeling overpowering everything.

Tetiba rasa I hate my job. Even though bosses and colleagues semua ok je. Ok sgt, cuma belum biasa dengan environment and culture.

Plus, ntah-ntah ni semua long Covid symptom.

Entahlah labu...

Update on life

 After the 8th job interview, I finally landed a new job.

At a bank.

Dari bank ia dtg, kepada bank ia kembali. LOL. It's a phrase that people use to describe their  monthly salary, that I can now use for my career.

When I was working with a development financial institution, I purposely change my portfolio, coz I don't want my career prospect be limited at only in financial institutions and industry. I have decided that I don't want to work in bank. 

But I guess God has something else in mind for me.

Trust Allah, always.

I have tendered my resignation with the current company. Will report duty at the bank after the new year.

KL (and the traffic jam), here I come!

Definition

Success.

How do you define success? 

It has been on my mind lately. Does success define by how well you do in your career? Or how big is your take home pay?

Or perhaps success is define when you managed to raise up your kids. Well mannered kids, well educated kids?

I remember a question asked by the interviewer during a job interview I had last year, with the Malaysian owned O&G company.

"What is the one thing that you want to achieve in life?"

And there I was, dumbfounded, not expecting a philosophical question like that. He didn't want to hear the job related answer. 

I, nervous as heck, it was my first job interviews after more than 5 years, for a company that I'd killed to join, couldn't give the answer he was looking for.

And obviously, yeah, I did not get the job.

2 interviews and 3 online interviews (due to MCO) later here I am, still working with the same company I have been with for the last (close to) 7 years!

And that is why the question of success has been on mind lately. Kinda take a pause in my job searching for now. 

I know Allah has a better plan for me. That I am exactly where I supposed to be now.

Bitter

I think years and years of life are making me a bitter person.

and social media, too.

I guess age doesn't make me wiser.

Silap

Today I purposely choose this one particular cafe coz I feel like having their superb teh tarik.

And guess what

I accidentally ordered milo tarik.

Slap forehead.

Broken thing

Sometimes after a ‘hard’ feeding I look down and see my tortured, broken and tattered nipple.

Poor little thing.

Ko sabar jap ya.. less than 7 months je lagi 😂😂
