That time of the year again

It's the last week of 2010 and the office is literally empty. There's only 5 of us in today. My email inbox hasn't been blinking with new msgs for the last hour and phone's pretty quiet too. So glad for the much needed silence in the office after the much chaotic past few weeks.

As it has always been with the past year ends, it is time to reflect on the happenings of the year. I think i've pretty much had a good year, with its fair share of bumps and bruises along the way. Career-wise, I believe I'm on the right track though I know I still have quite hurdle in getting the lady-Boss' confidence in my abilities. Imran, believe it or not, sorta opened the door for me straight into her good books! He charmed the tudungs off of her during our company outing last weekend!It was really strange seeing Imran chit-chatting away with her, as if she's Tokmi to him. So till today, she's always talking about how cute and sociable my son is, to our colleagues and work friends :) Yeay Imran!

Life at home has been pretty good too. I can't really complain though I know we can improve on a lot of things. No thanks to my little fender-bender last month, all the savings for the new fridge and washing machine is now rerouted to pay the workshop. Despite that, we did manage to squeeze in an awesome Europe holiday and family vacays with the kids so I guess it's not so bad after all.

Will start bulding up the kitty again next year for our upcoming (mis)adventures. Oh yeah, and a new phone. And digital camera. And a Moroccan holiday :P

The best things in life

Blogging away from home tonite. Arrived in Kerteh this lovely Sunday morning for a meeting tomorrow..and feeling depressed and homesick as hell becoz of that! No doubt the hotel is nice and the beach is gorgeous. But looking out the window at the kids splashing in the pool made me ache thinking of my children back home. Can't wait to take them away for another "almost beach holiday" this coming weekend!

Anyway, talking about kids, a coupla people i know popped their own babies this past few weeks.. one worth mentioning is my sister, who gave birth to their third last week. The most cute little babygirl ever..besides mine of course. Kinda surreal watching her bathe and change the little bub..her last baby happened like 8yrs ago! She totally forgot how to breastfeed n stuff but good thing is that my mum's around n her baby is quite easy to handle. like most babygirls i know :)

We've been doing a lot of things with the kids lately and i'm so enjoying the time just hanging out with them and talking about anything and everything. Mia is learning really fast and she can recite the numbers 1 through 10 and sing her favourite song "Twinkle2 Little Star" pretty well! I always forget that she's only 1 and a half..But she's still so painfully shy among strangers. She avoids eye-contact with anyone she doesn't know and if she can't hide behind me or anything else, she will just close her eyes!!

Imran's quite a good big brother too..although sometimes he does get a little rough with his babysis. U can talk about anything with Imran nowadays, he's such a good conversationalist! Today I told him that he can't go to Tokmi's house tomorrow coz Tokmi's not feeling well, so he asked me, "Oooohh..that's why I can't go to Tokmi's house.. Tokmi got flu?? oooo..Tokmi dah makan her medicine?It's ok mummy, I will stay home and watch Kuzco with Mia" His tone is full of concern, so endearing.

I'm thankful to have this two little angels around me and I really don't know if I can feel any happier than I am now.
