scarily unbelievable...as im dusting the dust off my blog. has it been already almost 3 yrs since i pen my thoughts in it?
its the 17th Syawal today, we already hit the 2nd half of Hari Raya.Most visiting are done apart from some friends. We covered as much as we could in the 2 weekends that we had a car - even that we missed some houses as my husband would rather spend more time with those that really mattered then those fair-weathered friends - that i totally dont mind.

I feel like i should cramp all the stories that i have collate in this post but i figured, lets just talk abt what's going on NOW.

its almost 1 yr & 5mths since i joined SPRIM. The office is great (wish i could say the same abt the bosses :p) the people are great, made some good friends & lunch kakis. the location is great - 15min away from home, i shouldn't complain. But work always feel like a routine now. Getting each day, looking forward to the end of day, dreading Monday, excited for Friday. I guess i shouldn't complain as im lucky, i know, others had it worse. I still miss CE now & then. Im always online with Migz, always up-to-date on what they are busy with , always harbouring hope that i will join them back again one day. (soon i hope, never mind the distance) I will just see how it goes with the CE & how they stabilise before i make my next move - meanwhile, i will look forward to the year end holidays & yearly bonus.

Adina is all of 3 years old now, wise beyond her years, a tough mak-nenek. She will be in Darussalam Nursery next year just like her bubu & Baijan. She's finally weaned off BF since Feb-Mar, painful at first for her & me (more at the Abah's reaction than anything else) at times, when she dont sleep well & need more than a pat for comfort, she will make a weak attempt at request, lesser now as time goes by.

My first prince & Princess will be facing their big challenge in the next few mths, O'levels & PSLE. oh, i must mention that my son gave me a nice white peck on the cheek after making him his requested pasta & chicken chop for Iftar)im proud of him i must say. Always room for improvement but very proud of how he turned out to be.

Mira is turning into a mini-me, growing into a beautiful young lady, as many could attest. stubborn too, like me. still dwindling between a child & young woman, im almost afraid to see my reflection in her. still very interested in baking & for that i thank Shahidah who looks almost ready to take her under her wings anytime.

My other half has been diligently getting himself immersed in Islamic knowledge. nowadays i fall asleep with the lullaby of his ngaji. he even voiced out his intention for Umrah next year - very proud of my man. His Kranji was the west zone champion, again - for 2 years i think. on teh financial end, its good Alhamdulillah, not great but enough for us & all around us. we are still renting out our Bt Panjang apt - that extra income helps. no car for almost 2 years now - missing our mobility, but we get by with rentals & short car-loans from the siblings - something we are forever grateful for.

My back pain (Sacroiliac Joint Injury) is getting better. it comes & goes but at least i dont have to depend on pain killers all the time now. Pei Fen was nice enough to get me a backrest for my office chair to alleviate any pain - u see these are the kind of things i will miss if i leave this place.

We are also in the midst of preparing for Eli's wedding in Dec (finally!) Kelvin is now Isa Abdullah. As a big sister who have seen her gone through so much, i am really looking forward to the wedding...

Its Friday today, the bosses are in France & Australia, I have work pending but as usual, dont know where to start.Just looking forward to the weekend where i can meet family & friends to chill - my greatest source of comfort, always.
