Yep, how does a corporate woman deal with family, kids, a husband and home chores? That’s what I plan to find out from this fictional book by Allison Pearson.

I’m only a quarter through the book and so far, it’s comforting to know that I’m not the only one who looks forward to going back to the office “to rest”. And yes, the brain does multi-task and skip from non-related thought to thought.

I cannot comment much of the book at the moment, as I am SLOW reading. Maybe 3-4 chapters in a week?!!! Really there are days when I do not want to torment my brain by feeding it more words to digest… and these days are known as TV days. Junk food for my brain.

So what are you reading at the moment? Do you even read? If you are Malaysian, your answer will most likely be ‘NO’ or something silly like ‘does CLEO count?’. Umm… Please, just say NO.

An Employee

This is a continuation of the series “Who Am I?” I’m quite reluctant to write about this topic because I may become all emo and start firing bullets to un-named bosses and colleagues. So, let’s make this fast and painless.

At work, I play the role of the ‘follower’ kowtowing to people demands and requests. Like u, I hate office politics, but I dwell in office secrets and do my fair share of gossiping about evil people. Well, working is life and life should be fun, right?!

I don’t think I am a bad employee neither do I get praises and awards. Whatever it is, I’ll stick to my policies and will not DIE for a company. Painful lesson learnt once. After all, the company that I am in does not appreciate good nor loyal staff.

So here I am grazing on my patch of …errr… the grass has long gone but there’s still some weed, thank gawd. My pay is below market rate for sure and the good people have all gone. Wonder why I still exist.

I get along well with my colleagues, even the evil ones… so, I guess I’m ok. Only need to develop more ‘positive thinking’ and see past ‘road blocks’… according to one boss some.

But hell, don’t tell me how to fcking think and feel. I hate that. I hate that from the bottom of my income tax, EPF and SOCSO files.

I feel a missile coming, better go…

My girl is a toddler!

So much time has passed and i didn’t even realise it until recenlty that my little princess is now a toddler. No more that tomato shaped face baby…

Almost 13 mths old, it’s really amazing how much they grow within that short time. (Although, for us parents it has been a tough long one.) Soon, she’ll be going to school and later dating boys. Gulp, i better hold back my eyelids and not blink so that time won’t fly.

The cake picture is her first custom made one. Cookie Monster is her fav. Sesame Street character. She calls him ” Coo.. coo” and says “C” when u ask her what Cookie Monster says (after the song “C is for Cookie” – go download it.)

Blue icing is hideous to eat… remember that!
