~ Pump Up The Balloon! ~

Zul had shortened his holidays due to his trip to Taman Negara and I'm left unattended since last thursday. We only managed to spend some time doing shoppings together in Penang last sunday. Last night, he called me to inform he got bitten by bees during his jungle trekking, luckily it was 1-2 bees! No worry, he'll be back in one piece!

I weighed myself last night, instead of hoping to loose 4 kilos (I mentioned it in June's entry), I've actually gained another 2 kilos and that makes me 52 kg! Oh my goshhh! I did restrict myself not to eat more than I need and I was actually following a healthy diet by taking fruits as breakfast. Unfortunately, I got gastric early this month and my mom started forcing me to eat as much as I can, since then, eating has become my passion, hehe.. If I could gain 2 kilos in less than 1 month, I wonder how much I'm gonna gain in future?!! Tsskk... Tsskk.. Do call me 'pau' after this, that was what Zul called me 2 years ago when I ballooned myself from 47 kg to 55 kg!

~ Sitting On A Hot Seat ~

One of my chinese colleagues asked me a tough question today. She asked why I'm not wearing tudung while other muslim women do and she expressed her opinion that muslim women look prettier without tudung. Phewwww!! What a tough question to answer because I don't want to make her misunderstood what Islam is. I, myself bukannya baik/alim sangat, so I'm afraid I'd give her the wrong perspective of it. Wanna know what's my answer?! Firstly I told her, it's not about pretty or not, it's what the religion itself requires us to do. Then I said menutup aurat (covering skins and hairs) is compulsory in our religion but I can't comment further because it's my own choice not to wear it so it'll be between me and God. Besides, I also corrected her thinking that menutup aurat is only wearing tudung, so I explained to her about the scenario of wearing tudung with short sleeves shirt and tight shirt are also wrong in the context of Islam, but once again I said it's between the person and God.. If you choose the other way it should be then you have to deal with the sequences later. Then ada la I explained skit2 lagi..Phew!! I'm not ustazah..

~ The Beginning ~

I failed to update more often than I did before, so I guess I shouldn't stop promise to myself. I'm gonna update this blog whenever I feel I like it, let it be weeks, months or years, as long as it's updated from time to time.

I've been working for almost 3 months now and it was quite an experience. I'm not gonna take back what I said in previous entry, working life is still suck but I think I'm starting to get naturally immunned to it (or should I say I'm starting to enjoy it??!!). My ego healed faster than ever, there's no laziness to go to office every morning even though waking up at 8 am is still a tough thing to do, I'm not feeling sleepy for the whole days, I don't have the eagerness to leave office at 5.30 pm.. Are they signs that I'm loving my job?? I guess so, hoyeaah!! As much as I like my job, I still can't prevent any bad day to happen, but who cares! Despite of some miscommunication with 1-2 colleagues, getting nagged by my senior, the 'not-my-dreamed-salary' thoughts, etc, everything is going fine. It's the experiences that count!
