A year is almost gone..

We are almost done with year 2007! A significant year for me with a mix of sweet and sad memories. I can’t believe how time flies. It is still fresh in my mind how busy I was back in January planning for year 2007 and soon I will be doing the same thing for year 2008. Looking back, I guess I will never forget the important or those unexpected events that happened in Y 2007. My beloved mom passed away in June and an uncle of ours passed away a week ago in Singapore. Two of my close friends lost their mothers as well. All I can say is this year has been the most challenging year for me especially. I do hope year 2008 will be a better year for me, Insyaallah..:)

I was hoping that work would not be too demanding this month, since Aidil Adha and Christmas are just around the corner. Yayaa..wishful thinking! Boy, was I wrong, due to the long break and festive season, all board and committee meetings are pushed forward in January next year, which as a result, people like me will have to rush for papers and reports to be submitted way on time. I have no choice but to rush like mad as I will be going for my long break next week till end of the year. I am currently scratching my head thinking of a way to get things done smoothly. Sigh…that’s life....you have to face all those cubaans and dugaans...!

I am on leave tomorrow as I need to switch my profession from being a banker to the kakak “bibiq”. The kakak left for Surabaya last Tuesday for her yearly balik kampung session, so my lil sis has been busy mending the house and taking care of her lil daughter. So tomorrow will be my day to do the babysitting and the house chores. The only one benefiting from the bibiq being in Surabaya is lil Opie. She just loves having her mom around 24/7 I tell ya. Hahaha but tough luck, she is stuck with me tomorrow..:D Talking about babysitting, did I tell you how amazed I am with the toys the kids have nowadays. The toys invented for the current generation are soooo cool. One particular toy lil Opie has that I thot is awesome is this cleaning set she got from her Dad who bought it for her in Japan…..check this out……



the vacuum cleaner for kids operates just like the normal ones we adults have at home..but it operates on batteries. I tried it and was amazed that it actually sucks in the dust okay..Hahahaha :) Now I am trying to get lil Opie to vacuum my room..hahahaha. The Japs are really good with their hi tech technology and inventions even for kids... love it!

Okay people..I better get going and get some sleep. I need all the energy for tomorrow! The banker cum bibiq is out to complete the house chores and babysit a 3 yr old kid tomorrow. Wish me luck :P


Ohhh before I forget, Selamat Hari Raya Haji to all my muslim friends and Merry Christmas to thse celebrating! Drive safely and Have fun.
