Another outdated entry….

My god! Life’s been pretty hectic these days; I didn’t even have the chance to update this blog.

Anyway, now is another time for the performance appraisal – the time for you to sell your self, step up efforts, send various email to everyone (and cc to the managers) to show that you do your work, take up initiatives, create initiatives (and burden others to do it for you)… I mean, you have like the whole year to do all that, last2 minute ni la nak buat initiative tu, initiative ini….Kalu buat sendiri takpela jugak. Ni menyusahkan orang lain along the way….

It’s pretty shame to know that the performance appraisal (in my company) is still based on popularity. Staffs that are HIGHLY visible easily get a good rating while staffs that are low profile get just an average rating. I mean, being visible doesn’t mean he/she did a good job, and likewise, not being visible does not mean that he/she did not do a good job.

What sadden me the most, during the deliberation session, the management simply rank and decides this people is rating 2, these people is rating 3 without even see their PPA write up! Hello, YOU jugak yang suruh staff tulis a structured PPA, YOU jugak yang suruh tulis in detail segala efforts and initiatives yang staff tu dah buat. And yet, masa PPA review, YOU tak tengok pun PPA orang tu.

Do YOU know how much time was spent to karang all those cerita? The sleepless night…the overtime…. Kalau pun tak nak bagi good rating, baca la sikit PPA write up tu….! Appreciate la sikit!

Akak marah ni…

Hmm.. in the end, I guess that’s just how it goes la kan. Kalau dah kulitif tu kulitif jugak…What to do…The most important thing for me now, get my promotion, pack my bag, and leave Kerteh for good….Akak sudah bosan duduk di sini (not bosan with Kerteh, but bosan with PMO!)…huhuhuhu..

Aqiqah

And they say a picture speaks a thousand words....

Little Anis' Majlis Aqiqah and Berendoi 22 Dec 2007 Ipoh, Perak


Alhamdulillah, the ceremony went perfectly, thanks to my family in laws, especially Azmir's mom who slept at 4 a.m. to make sure everything is all set and done. I was a bit exhilarated since Kedahans rarely do all these things, selalu they just buat makan2, takde naik buai etc. Thankfully, Little Anis behaved so well through out the ceremony. That’s my girl. :)

The night before the majlis, Azmir's mom asked me to decorate (What???) the buaian using the cloths, flowers and ribbons that she reserved from our wedding last year. Nak cakap tak nak, kang kena cop menantu derhaka pulak.

So i did, and here how it looked like (after much effort and pain)....

Boleh la kan, considering i did that with my mak mertua looking and scrutinizing from afar while she's packing some kuih muih for the guests...

Huh, debar weh!

On one peaceful Friday

I just love this picture :)

New me

Little Anis dah tido, so boleh la mama blogging jap...

Yesterday was my first day at work after the loooong leave. I must say, being away from the office for that long period of time (3 months) made me feel a bit obscure. Tengok spreadsheet pun mcm confuse sket, pegang mouse pun dah kekok (okay, yang ni exaggerate sket la). Luckily Neni was not around, so I was not bombarded with urgent-and-i-need-it-today tasks. Tapi awal2 lagi dia dah hantar sms suruh tolong Nirman with something, and she wanna see the result when she come back from her holiday....Well, i owe her this one la, sebab she let me take MC for almost one month masa sebelum bersalin ari tu...

And as expected, I received few uninvited comments on my post natal body. Though most of the comments are +ve, i still feel fat and saggy here and there...
B tried to be supportive, giving me the "tak ape" look everytime I complain.

Owww..How sweet….. Tapi selagi I can't fit into all my kebayas, selagi tu la dia kena dengar me complaining and whining. Sabo je la ye....

On different note, my office had this quarterly “Staff Conversation” event last Wednesday. As usual, one of the agenda was a montage presentation, and this time around the montage includes a snapshot of the staffs’ newborn babies in 2007.

Ern had sent me an sms a week before, requesting a pic of MOM AND BABY (Keep in mind that I read the message 5 times okay). Not to be “indifferent”, I mmsed her the pic (shown below) so she can put into the montage along with the other mom-and-babies pictures.




I didn’t get the chance to see the montage as I was still on my maternity leave. However, on that day I received sms from Azni saying : “dalam montage newborns ni, ko sorang je mak yang enterframe, that’s soooo you, hahaha”

Yeap, you guessed it right. As it turned out, I was the only one who sent pic of MOM AND BABY, orang lain hantar gambar baby diorang je….

Tak pasal2 kena cop gila-glamour.

But surprisingly, I didn’t regret it at all…. Would I do the same if I had known earlier? Well, let’s just put it this way…OF COURSE!:)

Rilek jap

Today, little Anis genap one month old...phew, how swift time flies...
My whole life turns upside down, hehe, but it's all worth it. All the tiredness melt away just by watching her cute little face.

Now that the baby is out from my tummy, my next mission is to loose some weight and get my old figure back. Damn! jeans lama dah tak muat tu. Kebaya 2 pasang yang belum pakai pun (masa buat kebaya tu tak tau lagi dh ngandung) dah ketat sini sana...Adoi, cammana nk jadi hot mama ni!

Don't panic! there's still plenty of time...(yeah right!)

Well, it's gonna take some time, but as the saying goes..."Usaha Tangga Kejayaan"!

Wish me luck!

Introducing our new little bundle of joy.....

Anis Safiya bt Azmir Hanizam | 10 October 2007 | 3.34 p.m | Metro Specialist Hospital, Sg Petani

Counting days......

"Well, you are going to deliver very soon.."

"Err..how soon..?"

"Probably in another week or two..."

Hmm, the conversation took place a week ago. If my gynae's prediction is true, I could be delivering this baby next week!

To be honest, I actually don't mind if it happens anytime now. Seriously, the baby's weight is torturing every single inch of my body.

*sigh*

What was I thinking?
Please forgive your mama, Baby. Mama is being selfish....
Do take your time dear, I know that you can't wait to come out to this world. Mama and Papa shall wait for the time to come, patiently.....
