A Night In the Desert

Lest anyone think that my life is totally owned by Meiyin (I'm probably in denial), here are some pix to show that I actually do go out and have fun. The event was the company annual dinner held last Saturday.



The management team plus one: Harry's wife.


Right, so we had to do the catwalk...


Abu and me


Liew and me (we should've won best couple)


Arabs drinking?


After many years of not being in the running for the lucky draw, the committee decided that management should have a fair shot at the presents this year. And it must have been clear that we were due for a windfall: the management team swept the top three prizes this year: dad won third prize of a travel package worth RM1000, I won 2nd prize of a RM1500 Pioneer home theater set and Harry's wife won the first prize of RM2000 worth of Ikea vouchers.

We sure deserved it!

Baby explosion

There has been a spate of babies born lately. An ex-colleague had a C-section about two months ago, hubby's friend across the street gave birth on the 19th and another friend's wife is due anytime now, and most recently a friend of mine popped out a baby girl this morning.

Oh, and another mutual friend all the way in the US is expecting about the same time as I am.

I am surrounded by exploding mamas. Talk about a bumper year for babies.

Today is not a smooth day. Some issues at work that I've not been able to resolve and am yet to wrap up. But I just don't feel like I have the energy. Am bloated as a dead corpse on the side of the road (think roadkill) and I feel like I've been on the exercise bike for too long; my pelvic bones are killing me when I walk: I look like I've got something major stuck up my ass.

I spent the better part of the late morning sending out text messages to people telling them I've changed my Celcom line to Maxis. I will miss my Celcom number but we have to be pragmatic here: 90% of the people I contact use Maxis and where cost savings can be achieved, we must move towards the healthier bottomline, favourite number be damned. Oh well...a minor change in a year full of bigger changes.

It's also a quiet day as banks, government offices and most MNCs are off for the Agong's installation. My sales team is probably having teh tarik somewhere after their meagre two appointments for the day. The tech specialist is still testing out that unit I need sent out to the client tomorrow. And I am ... sleeeeeeeepyyyyy...
