I wish I could update this blog as often as I would like to. Tapi...apekan daya, tangan memang tak sampai. I hardly have time to even read blogs when I am at work, needless to say at home.

Past week had been super and king of all kings stressful week for me at work. To tell you the truth, no, I do not enjoy managing an office. Compared to working with the management, knowing that my responsibility was to make them look good, this job now is to strive to make the office look good...and me look good I think? And...I do not like that.

Maybe someday, I will be moved to the other side of the department....sigh!

Anyway, thank God for this Memorial Day long weekend. As usual, we do not know what to do and where to go.

In the meantime, mak called last night. Menangis dia cos she misses us so much. She said that she even kissed the computer screen when she sees Suraya's pictures. Kesian orang tua tuh. We all miss her ever so badly too. I know that she will come back soon!

Here's what daddy David and Suraya had been doing while I was working hard in the office.

How did it feel like to be working 6 day workweek for 3 freakin' weeks? Tired, penat, burned out and totally 'rest time deprived'. Who cares if you tend to earn at least half your pay check if you work on Saturdays. My rest time and time with my family is irreplaceable.

Being in a new office, I had to be there on Saturdays to ensure that all systems work well and everyone gets into the groove on working on Saturdays. Saturday crowds are different. They are tourists, 'youngins' who do not work Saturdays (except for losers like us at the office), and leisure customers.

Thank God last weekend was my last weekend working on Saturday.

How I missed time with my family.

Sigh...its Sunday night, I have to be at work in 12 freakin' hours!!! Penat belum hilang dah kena pergi kerja....arrrghhh!

Daddy Daycare

The husband has decided to take care of Suraya since mom left. Its been almost 2 weeks. What perfect timing especially when Suraya is beginning her teething process.

Yes, she is teething. Poor husband thinks that it is him who is not doing anything right as Suraya can be so happy and bubbly for hours and then yells, screams and cries like a girl in pain in one minute.

To daddy David,

You are doing a wonderful job with our daughter
Your baby might not know how to say it
But you can see from the look in her eyes that she loves you!

In the meantime, realized that I have not been updating my blog that often now? The new office opened last week and besides still trying to adapt to being at work and a mom when I get home, this new office demands my attention demands a whole lot more of my attention as it's a small office. But like I told my subordinates, we can party everyday hahaha.

With a small office, everything is incorporated. From the bathroom tissues to the mechanical breakdowns to speaking to the owner of the building. From learning how to open the door at 8:30am to learning how to handle funds for the entire office, balancing them and authorizing them.

Driving to work is also a new thing for me. You see, I was so used to public transportation. The best way for me to get to work now is to drive. Knowing the streets of San Francisco, thank God for automatic cars cos I really DO NOT know how to drive manual (or 'stick shift') cars. I might even bust the clutch if I drove up and down the hillies! I am beginning to enjoy morning talk shows. Lamont and Tonelli morning show makes me laugh on the way to work.

The office is also on Lombard St, where most tourists stay and roam the streets. Its the same street as the crooked street. To the locals, it is known to be the Marina District, where the 'baby boomers', 'cookie cutters', yuppies live. Beauty parlors everywhere, thats an advantage to me cos like Nazrah said, I am in dire need of eyebrow grooming. I need pedicure too. Kesian my toesies, got neglected!

Anyway, back to the office topic, today's the start of the grand opening for the new office. Aiyoh.pening pening and more pening! But our team will make it through!

As for kakak Mas, she had the symphony concert at the Cow Palace last night. Great, great performance! I am so proud of her.good job kakak Mas!

It is that day again. The day of wonderful women whom we call Mothers.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL WONDERFUL MOTHERS OUT THERE!!!
