I'll be there...

“Life is pain. Anyone who says differently is selling something...” - William Goldman

Hubby came home around 4 a.m. from Penang after attending a seminar there. Must have left Penang very late last night. I woke up very early and let him sleep on….

When the one you care about the most,
Could care less about you
When the one you gave your heart to,
Throws it in your face
I’ll be there….

We went to Pertama Kompleks to change the buckle of my handbag. Also sent the boots to the cobbler for repair. We had nasi briyani for lunch at Insaf Restaurant. Later stopped at the plant nursery to buy some potted plants for our water garden.

While we were busy cleaning the pond, there was a commotion when officers from the Health Department went from house to house to ask the occupants to vacate their premises. They were fogging the area because of the widespread incidents of dengue fever at our housing area. There were even a few deaths reported recently. Hopefully the chemicals don't kill my three little fishes.

Scared out of my life...

“Always do what you are afraid to do…” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

I was early for my annual medical check up at PMC.

I knew something must be wrong when they asked me to repeat the mammogram again. Later after the ultrasound test the doctor confirmed that there is a 0.66 mm lump in the upper quadrant of my left breast. When asked whether I should be tested further, the doctor advised me to come for the full result next week.

Hubby was already home when I came back. Although feeling so down and scared I wouldn't want to cause anxiety especially to my loved ones. Tonight we talked of my fear and lead us feeling sad and emotional and at times angry with each other over nothing. I want him to promise me that he will be strong for me and be with me whatever happens to me. At this moment, I am thinking of the worst. The very thought made me feel so sad...

Competencies glitch...

“There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more…”

The traffic flow was smooth today. Enough time to stop at the cafe for breakfast.

The interview for the Manager's post went smoothly but we do not have the right candidates who really have the competencies to fill up the Manager post. Another round of interview with a few more candidates will be arranged by HR department. Nasi lemak berlauk for lunch really makes you feel drowsy in the afternoon. Had a round of discussions with Zainal and Zaini on our country paper for the SEACEN course. Need to come out with presentation materials later.

Sara came home and she brought with her loads of stuff from campus. For dinner, we shared a plate of mee goreng. I need to fast tonight as I will be going for my yearly medical check-up tomorrow. Ja came home late at night from Kuantan.

Branching out...

“Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.” - Winston Churchill

For the next 2 days we will be having the Branch Managers meeting at HQ. This is also in conjunction with the launching of the Annual Report. We had lunch with the Branch Managers at the Selera Restoran at the Pan Pacific Hotel.

In the afternoon the team met with Dato' Daud on demonetisation issues. We ended up with a lot more things to do than what we asked for.
