No update...??? Huh??

Too much going on lately.....can't even squeeze a little time to jot an entry into this blog. A lot of things to say though, but I'm worried by the time I get around to share the stories they will be yesterday's news. I'm content nonetheless, as I've learned a heck of a lot these past few weeks. Here are some of the highlights:

~ My sister got engaged yesterday. And I had the honour of representing the family during the ceremony (jadi wakil for my family ler kiranya......what an experience). I even recited a couple pantun. Adik & Ayoi...the pantun are now forever etched in cyberspace. Here they go:

• Ayoi pemain bola handalan
• Julie pula cikgu sekolah kebangsaan
• Apa yang dihajat sudah dibuat perjanjian
• Sama-sama berdoa jadi kenyataan

•  Dari Kuala Pilah hajat dibawa
• Kami di Puchong sudah menerima
• Hidangan ala kadar telah tersedia
• Sama-sama kita menjamu selera

I had a buzzing headache leading to the occasion, but it was completely gone shortly after the ring was put on her finger. Another wonderful side effect of stress I guess.  Congrats adik....

~ My rugby team lost in the quarter final of a tournament despite performing splendidly in opening round. Struggled initially to come up with something positive out of the bitter experience......but now I'm as eager and as hungry as ever (can only indulge in self pity for so long right...?).

~ Overwhelmed with work.....and I like the feeling of being productive. Stress....that's a given.

~ Had a personal encounter with one of the ugliest sides of human behaviour.....EGO. My God.....some people just have it in abundance.

~ Similarly, ignorance sometimes is not a bliss....especially when it's coupled with EGO.  Ignorance + EGO = Recipe for disaster.  Some people sure found it the hard way.

~ Discovered that a simple diversion (in my case realising that Liverpool is my Grandad's favourite team....never knew that) could do wonders when you least expect it.

~ Children say the funniest things.....aren't they the greatest.

~ Haven't played much golf......now I'm wallowing in self pity:).

~ Mesmerised by the little things.....a beautiful sunset, a quiet afternoon by a river, my children's innocence, brilliant talks, sincerity...

~ Got myself a Blackberry today.......don’t even know how to use it. The new Celcom Executive Plan will only be effective in a few days and I’ll be away till Thursday....good execuse to wait till the weekend to play with it. Facebook on the go, and no more excuse for not reading an email sent to me......is that a good thing? I’ll soon find out.

It’s way past 1am and I’m due to travel at 5.30am tomorrow. I guess 3 hours of sleep should suffice...no? I want to always be positive but sometimes it’s not that easy....I’m lethargic, but my spirit is still pretty high....Alhamdulillah
