The State of PMS

Lately, I've been feeling down. It's one of the things women have to endure every month, the state of depression. In my case, my depression is rather self-inflicted.

I got depressed when I see my house in chaotic mess. No matter how many times I pick up clothes, towels, bags, books, papers, remote controls, they always find their way back on the floor.

I can't imagine if I start to have children. I'd go crazy, I think.

I got depressed when I wake up to find it's another day at work. Another day of hearing complaints, b*tching, and as if the whole department load is on my shoulders.

I even got depressed when I woke up to find my husband reaching out for the latest 3G handphone to check his email - instead of reaching out to cuddle up with me. I'm beginning to get insanely jealous of the phone and who knows I might throw it out of the window one of these depressed days. Or just hiding it somewhere away from my husband - under the gas stove or in the oven or perhaps in the washing machine. There are endless possibilities to explore.

Recently, I made up my mind to stop whining and grouching about how the system is such a rotten thing and just go about doing works instead of pointing to the right person who ought to do it. Despite management tips to delegate to get more effective, to me it's just bulls*it. The right person never do it and everybody ends up unhappy because the target got delayed, AGAIN.

And I am sick and tired of delays and how people around me keep depending on me or forgot what they are supposed to do because they are so consumed with unhappiness with the whole entire universe. The minute they open up their mouth, they will complain. Or promise to do something but then forgot and when reminded, never do anything. The only solution is to stick my head in the ground ostrich-style and just get moving.

Pray that I get a better offer. I am depressed, depressed, depressed.

Cerekarama #1

Aku mahu coret2 di sini selalu tanpa rasa bersalah. Coret2 dengan setulus jujur dan amanah sebab sekarang di rumah dah ada Internet! Tak perlu lagi curi2 blogging di office!

Mari kita bersama2 angkat tangan dan jerit, 'Hoyeeeaahh!!'

Terima kasih yang tak terhingga kepada Suami Terchenta kerana sekali lagi mengeringkan poketnya utk pasang 3G broadband di rumah. Aku sangat chenta kepada suami! Muahaha! Oopss... Gelak yg salah. Hihihi... *sambil menutup mulut tersipu2*

Sebenarnya sejak minggu lepas kiteorg bercita2 mendaftar 3G broadband tapi baru minggu ni kami pergi ke Menara Celcom. Bila dapat Sim card kami terasa ingin melompat2 kegumbiraan tapi perasaan tu ditahan2 sampai la balik ke rumah. Cik yang baik hati tu kata harus tunggu 24 jam untuk mengaktifkan tapi kami tak punya kesabaran setinggi itu. Baru beberapa jam, terus saja mengaktifkan Internet.

Sekali lagi, jerit, 'Hoyeeaaah!!'

Cerekarama #2

Suami Terchenta dapat jemputan ke majlis pertunangan Cik Faizzah (K4sih) & tunangnya. Kami berbincang agak lama. Perlu bawak hadiah atau tak? Kiteorg tak pernah pergi majlis pertunangan sesiapa. Masa kami bertunang pun takde sapa2 beri hadiah sebab kami cuma buat majlis yang sempoi utk bagi cincin je dengan disaksikan oleh 2-3 orang sanak saudara. Akhirnya memutuskan untuk menghadirkan diri je. Lepas Maghrib, kami bersiap2 sambil cuba call sesiapa yg dijemput hadir (aku dpt tau dari cd @ Aida siapa lagi yg dah dijemput). Mr Shai balik kampung. Kak Retna tak dapat hadir. Agak lama untuk kontek cd akhirnya baru dpt. Dia pun tak dapat hadir jugak. Maka, tak dapat la kami menghadirkan diri sebab tak tau jalan ke rumah K4sih! Sori ya! Apapun, kami mengucapkan Selamat Bertunang!

Cerekarama #3

Oleh sebab aku dah bersiap2 dengan anggunnya, maka Suami Terchenta dengan sukarela nak belanja makan malam di Nando's. Seronoknya! Sesampainya di Nando's, Suami Terchenta order 1/4 chicken with 2 sidelines (peri chips & corn) manakala aku order 1/4 chicken with rice.

Makan malam berjalan dengan lancar dan romantik sampai la Suami Terchenta offer jagungnya kepada aku. Oleh sebab aku malas nak cuci tangan, aku pun cuba sedaya-upaya mencucuk garpu ke dalam jagung itu. Tiba2... Toing! Jagung itu terpelanting ke atas lantai!

Aku pandang muka Suami Terchenta, dia pandang muka aku. Akhirnya kami sama2 kontrol gelak! Muahaha! Sungguh malu! Di mana aku nak letak muka yang anggun ini??

Kami cepat2 menghabiskan makan malam dan melarikan diri dari tempat kejadian. Huhu! Aku tak mahu ke Nando's itu lagi! Tidaaakkkkk!! Suami Terchenta gelak sakan kat aku. Sabar je la...

Suami & HP Baru

Semalam kiteorg balik dari kerja dalam keadaan basah-kuyup. Sebabnya kiteorang tak bawak kereta gi ofis dan tak sangka pulak nak hujan petang tu. Sampai rumah, aku asyik terbersin2 je. Alahai... Menci btol! Mesti nak selsema ni. Huhu! Aku memang pantang bila sejuk, mesti akan selsema.

Lepas makan malam, lepak2 di depan tv. Suami Terchenta sibuk testing hp baru. Aku tumpang tengok. Tapi malam tu memang aku tak berenti2 bersin. Sejuk! Huhu..! Kompem aku nak demam la ni. Uwaa! Bila dah sejuk sangat, amik selimut sambil baring kat tepi Suami Terchenta. Lepas beberapa minit, konon2nya nak bermanja:

'Abang, nak air panas.'

Suami Terchenta tak menyahut, terlalu asyik dengan hp baru.

Takpe2. Dia tak dengar kot. Sambung tengok tv sambil bersin2 dan tersiut2 dengan hidung berair.

'Abang, nak air panass...'

Merengek2 manja.

'Ok.' kata Suami Terchenta, sambil menekan2 butang hp baru.

Masih tak berganjak. Aku terbersin2 dan tersiut2 lagi.

'Abannnnggg... nak air panasssssssss...'

Merengek2 tak ingat dunia. Kalau boleh nak berguling2 sekali.

'Ok.' Suami Terchenta dah bangun sambil mencangkung, tapi hp masih tak dilepaskan.

(Tekan butang Pause sekejap)

Teringat balik masa zaman bujang dulu, haram nak mintak org lain buatkan air. Sapa ajar merengek2 macam budak 2 tahun ni? Apsal aku dah tak macam Carneyz Minah Rempit yang brutal tak macam pompuan ayu tu?? Menjatuhkan maruah betol!

(Tekan butang Resume)

'Takpelah. Orang gi buat air sendiri.' Akhirnya aku bangun dan gi buat air sendiri. Ta-dah. Tapi geli hati gak tengok muka Suami Terchenta yang serba-salah kerana telah menduakan isteri terchenta dengan hp baru tu!

Kesimpulannya, kalu kawen ngan lelaki yang gila gadget baru ni, bersiap-sedia la menghadapi saat2 tak kena layan sekejap. Sama gak la kalu kawen ngan lelaki gila tengok bola. In fact, boleh amik kesempatan ni buat hal sendiri tanpa gangguan.

P/S: Pagi tadi, Suami Terchenta dengan baik hatinya rebus air mandi untuk aku. Hahaha! Tak nak aku merajuks la tu!

When We Want To Get Wired

Recently, we have been exploring the idea of getting part-time jobs that we can fit in-between our hectic work life so we can earn a little more cash to support our very modest lifestyle.

The truth is, our day jobs simply can't allow us to save up and we are not talking about having a kiddo yet, but oh-my-God, the expenses for just the two of us already leave us with critical cash level every month. Maximum we can save up is probably RM100 and at this rate, we'd probably plan to start a family 25 years later. By that time, I'd be 50 and he'd be 53.

So, with the chances of demanding higher salary at -100%, the only way we can earn extra income is by offering freelance expertise. To start, we need Internet access at home to find freelance jobs.

But after waiting for Streamyx service at our brand new living area for months, we gave up hope that TMNet would ever notice our dire needs for Internet access so we start looking at other options. 3G seems the most viable (albeit at a higher cost).

However, that means we have to put up a slightly higher investment to get a good 3G phone with certain criterias that would enable two laptops to connect to Internet at the same time. Huh? Can ah? Dunno la. I have to depend on my husband's extensive knowledge on this sort of stuff to find out which phone models with that capability. Once we get the service, we'll know for sure whether this is possible or not.

So, we agreed to pool our resources (meaning he paid half and I paid half) to buy this very canggih phone. This weekend, we will sign up a 3G broadband service and see how this new hand phone live up to our expectations.

>> Hmm... need to get a part-time job fast since I'm saving up for something in May. Hopefully, this will work.
