Dear Diary,

It’s been sometime since I write. My apologies that I choose you as the medium to express the feeling I have inside me. One thing for sure, I feel blue. Why? I am not sure myself. I am so happy that things will insya Allah work out with my team but am sad that a good friend is leaving…

I am glad I expressed my dissatisfaction and realised it was just a small matter…

it’s been a long time now.. I have been happy. Life has been easy and alhamdulillah, it has treated me very well. I am so blessed with many things this year and am expecting many more to come. But this evening, I have been looking back at the situation in the office and something is bothering me. It’s not a big deal really and I have been taking something worse than this well. but it really is annoying. I can handle insubordination but the indirect one – done by a person who deliberately disregarded the request and because, according to other colleague, this person simply can’t see any other woman of higher position than her (oh please, there are too many women who are of higher position that her in the institution).. perhaps it is more annoying because she is not reporting to me and she deliberately said she would do it if my subordinate confirmed that it would be okay for her to do that.. what the heck? that was a prick really, doesn’t hurt much but so annoying! oh well, why am I wasting my time writing about her anyway.
Aside to the above, I am thankful for every thing.. Many things to prepare before the new addition to the family will “arrive” alhamdulillah and hope we will be in time for all arrangement just prior to the arrival

Can you seriously believe this?

My day at work was fine. I won’t say it was as hectic as usual but I got home exhausted. Perhaps I just need a short holiday. I think I will do on one of the weekends. Perhaps the next one.

Every one is fast asleep by now, except for me (obviously!)
I went to the bathroom to take wudhu when I noticed some grey hair.

Having a cup of lychee tea while reading the Financial Times and having my husband and son playing games within a foot away from me; that’s a serendipity….

my fav quote of the week: “Only the strong can say sorry. The weak will try to justify the wrong with all sorts of excuses and arguments.”

It was Tuesday morning. As the weather got colder, I decided I should put my boots on. Alas, I could not find them in my shoes closet (I took for granted they would be there). Since I still had about one hour and half, I decided to start searching for them in my maid’s room. I did not find anything.
