While On The Go

Hello peeps!

Seems that the only time I can leave a quick jot in my blog is when I'm in the ERL on my way to KLIA for YET ANOTHER working trip. Luckily, last night I managed to go to bed early so I can wake up at 4am in order to catch my 7.25am flight.

I have managed to clear a huge chunk of my tasks, but while my assistant is helping with all the contacts, I have to move on to another huge portions of pending work. I have not even have the time to train her on some of the things I do before I leave, but I think I've no choice but to leave it till after this madness is done. I'm sooo looking forward to that!

Seboks!

Dah seminggu lebih blog ni bisu. Kaku. Pekak. Ini ialah perkara yang sangat dikesali, tapi memandangkan Suami Terchenta tak menghiraukan permintaan saya untuk buat programming yang membolehkan blog dihapdet secara telepati, maka perkara ni tinggal perkara yang dikesali. Ada sesiapa yang boleh tolong saya? Hahaha! Kamu memang super programmer!

 

Ok, sekali lagi ditekankan di sini, bahawa saya:

 

-          Seboks! Saya terpaksa kerja siang dan malam demi mencari rezeki. Walaupun saya teringin nak bersenang-lenang macam orang lain hapdet blog setiap hari di pejabat, saya tak punya waktu yang banyak. Walaupun saya bakal berhenti kerja, saya tetap kena selesaikan pekerjaan ni. Nama pun mencari rezeki kan?

-          Saya sebok sampai kena masuk ofis pada hujung minggu. Ini ialah puncak kesebokan saya. Selalunya saya benci dermakan waktu senang-lenang saya utk pekerjaan (sebab saya tak boleh claim OT! Huh! Siapa yang buat peraturan tak munasabah ni!) tapi ni ialah kes luar tabii. Eh. Jangan guna perkataan sesuka hati boleh? Nanti kamu semua yang otak kaler2 akan fikir yang bukan2. Hoho.

-          Saya sebok sampai saya terpaksa membakar minyak waktu malam (burn the midnight oil) sampai pukul 3 pagi. PADA HARI AHAD, tau! Ini ialah tahap kebizian di luar dunia.

 

So, sampai sini saja saya membebel. Segala kesulitan amat dikesali. Sekian.

Pitam

Dunia gelap. Lepas tu cerah. Lepas tu CPU hang.

 

Hari ni saya rasa nak pitam je. Mungkin sebab otak saya terkejut. Baru hari Jumaat tu gumbira bagi ikan makan di Pulau Manukan. Hari Sabtu pulak gumbira menghirup udara segar di kaki Gunung Kinabalu dan cicah kaki di Poring Hot Spring. Hari Ahad, bersuka-ria projek shopping mania dan cuci mata (sampai Suami Terchenta ‘ikat’ tangan sebab tak kasi masuk Pasar Filipin lagi).

 

Tiba-tiba hari Isnin menyerang. Surat jemputan Exco! Teks ucapan Menteri Besar! Artwork dah siap ke belum! Senarai jemputan dah finalize ke belum! Meeting 8hb di Johor! Huha huha huha!

 

Mana tak sel2 otak dari happy-happy terus macam kena renjatan letrik.

 

Sepatutnya saya ambil cuti sehari, tukar program ‘Holiday.exe’ ke ‘Work.exe’. Tapi, saya tahu kalau saya ambil cuti, takde sapa yang akan buat kerja. Huwaargghhh! Kenapa saya macam bos merangkap kuli eh?

Breakaway!

Otak dah penat. Hati dah sakit. Badan dah lesu.
Pekerjaan di saat-saat berhenti kerja buat saya stress.
Pukul 4 pagi orang lain masih enak buat tahi mata. Saya dah bangun dan mandi. Bersiap utk outstation.
Pukul 5 pagi orang lain baru nak bangun Subuh. Saya dah khatam beberapa dokumen dan buat checklist utk meeting dalam ERL.
Pukul 8.30 malam, orang lain dah ada di rumah, tengok Akademi Fantasia. Saya baru nak terhegeh2 boarding flight balik ke KL.

Demi menghilangkan stress dan re-charge energy, that's why saya dan Suami Terchenta (dan Shai) sekarang di KK, berhooray2 sakan!
Bukan setakat problem kerja terbang melayang, dengan kami2 pon terbang melayang ber'parasailing' di Pulau Manukan!

Saya akan story2 lagi bila sudah balik ke alam realiti ;) Buat masa sekarang, kena tido awal sebab besok akan menghirup udara segar di Kinabalu Park seawal jam 7 pagi. Suami Terchenta pon dah lama berlayar ke alam mimpi.

Kalau singgah di blog ni, buat la macam rumah sendiri ya? Bancuh la air kopi sendiri. Hehe. Toodles!

Missing Little Rio

Rio, our newly adopted kitten had disappeared last week. I had been too heartbroken to update my blog ever since missing my cute little kitten. I even dreamed about Rio and constantly wonder whether he is somewhere safe.

How did we lose Rio? Last week, we figured that Rio was bored at home. He had been constantly following us everywhere whenever we are home. It’s like, we had a puppy instead of a kitty. He even followed me into the bathroom as I took my wudu’ and then ran helter-skelter when I turned on the shower and he got splashed. Right on his wee little head. I didn’t do it on purpose – didn’t see him sitting watching me did ablution. Nevertheless, it made me roar in laughter because it was so comical.

So anyway, we went out for a drink at the food stall behind our house. As Rio had been cooped up in the house since his rescue, we brought him along so he can see other than the sofa, the four walls, the toilet floor, the toilet itself and our notebooks’ screen. Rio was interested in everything he saw that night. He smelled here, he smelled there. Then suddenly, he was no more to be seen!

We thought he’d come back after finished inspecting his new environment and perhaps, making a friend or two but he didn’t. Suami Terchenta said that maybe because of his ‘sensor and balancing dah rosak’ (he can’t even smell his food a few steps away from him) he couldn’t locate our table. We walked around to search him, but he had simply vanished!

Truth is, I had this mixed feeling when he was gone. I felt guilty for taking him out that nite and losing him, but at the same time I was relieved because it’s not really healthy for him to be trapped in the house without a companion cat to steam off his kitty energy. We only managed to play with him an hour before we rushed to work, and a few hours at night because we are really tired after work. Like this, how to spend time with our kids (later)? We did look for him but he was gone. In the morning, we peeped out the window at the food stalls, and he’s still… gone.

I’m hoping that he could find his way back home and when we come back later, he’ll be at the front door waiting. If he’s not, then I hope that Rio would survive and be able to mingle with other cats there.

I miss Rio terribly – his amusing little games of chasing our ankles, his frenzy war with plastic bags and the way he springs at us (konon2 to surprise us) and then runs to hide behind the kitchen’s curtain. His funny expression when he poops and his yowlings of delight at our voices when we return home.

And after all the exertions that leave him tired, he would trot his way into our laps and curl up to sleep, a happy and contented kitten who only craves for a piece of love from these two humans.

Come back home, Rio.
