We wish you a merry Christmas...

I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night.
She didn't see me creep
Down the stairs to have a peep;
She thought that I was tucked up in my bedroom fast asleep.
Then, I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white;
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night.

- Christmas Carol "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" -


i have been very, very, very busy at work..and this does not allow me sufficient time to blog...i keep thinking out entries in the komuter, in the shower, while walking around, but having no access to the internet at THAT particular moment, meant that i had to keep my entry in my head, and whenever i face the pc, i draw blanks....i'm actually considering keeping a written journal, but whenever i start one, i tend to think faster than i write, so the result would be tired hands :p

i came back to the office this week with renewed spirits..and now, on a Friday, my spirits have gone from sky high to the lowest of all low tunnels, and is now making its way back up again..i hate office politics..its not my hobby...i'm just doing my work which I was given instructions for...i can't believe taking initiatives (like how my dept did) could get us so much back-talk...and when i started to see my name fly around in the management's emails, i started to think, hey, i'm just a bloody temp here!!! i have no power to do ANYTHING! i earn LESS than the receptionist!! then why am i being blamed? sheesh...now i know how it feels to be a hated and envied workaholic, ngeahahahah....

its sad to think that i might be a workaholic...i mean what's the definition of a workaholic? From dictionary.com

work·a·hol·ic n. One who has a compulsive and unrelenting need to work.

i'm a workaholic by accident laa..i can't help it if my mom needs to go off to work early, thus dumping me at the LRT station at the hours only cleaning staff go out, thus making me the earliest in the office..i can't help it that i've a perfectionist boss who makes me feel like i never have the right information or remember the right things...i can't help it that my boss gives me a ride back, hence making me the last one to leave the department along with her....

i just can't help not doing my job right...

i may surf in between, and make calls during lunch...but my pride does not allow me to let others belittle what i do...maybe i get a little defensive at times, but i'm just doing my job...

as a matter of fact, i hardly bother to kiss ass here...my brownie points comes only from my boss, and i sooo couldn't care less what the others think..which is very funny come to think of it, cuz at my previous work place, i kissed asses big time..i just HAD to be on everyone's good books...but here, hee, i rarely smiled at people who don't smile back, i don't remember names as well as i used to, and i hardly hang out with the office people...i've been to lunch alone a few times *as in, sitting in the middle of the food court alone, but usually the food court would be relatively empty by then la :p*, and i don't even care...

i just don't bother...

i do not know my fate in this company, being a temp is bad enough, but getting complaints for doing my job?! hahahha....they'd better kick me properly or absorb me along with a promotion....

most importantly, i received an email from my doctor friend in the UK and he told me this:
" i was chilling out with the bruvs the other day and one of them mentioned sumthing really bright. we spend 8 hours a day sleeping, at least 8 working and the rest we get to spend with oursleves. which made me think, yeah thats right. so, from now on, i am going to maxiiimise my spare 3rd of my life doing... whatever... i think you should do the same as well.."

well, honey, i wish i could, i wish i could, i wish i could....*kalau ckp more than 44 times, might come true kan?*

thank god it's Friday...

on the other hand, the week on a non-work-related front has its interesting bits...the dinner at Chilli's KLCC for instant *sorry Sabbs dearie!!, was a last minute thing! but i still haven't gotten my mashed potatoes ;) *...mostly the fun came from the 2 chatty girls i was with *although i was very sleepy at one point, and considered asking them to drop me at the office, as hey, i have less than 6 hours at home, why bother going back kan?*..BUT, there was a yummy waitress there that kept us ogling for 5 seconds! hahaha....verrrry interesting....takes me back to my shool days, i tell ya... ;) Nonz, nanti kita dinner kat situ lagi eh? we'll take Sabbs along with us pulak!

then there's lunch at Midvalley, away from work, with the most garlicky pasta ever..yumms!

and then, the Christmas party at Su-Li's tomorrow! yay! this xmas party has been a yearly thingy since back when we were in Form 3!! god, 9 years back...a small crowd of us would gather, in glittery outfits or less, at Su-Li's for a yummy xmas dinner, along with her parents, families and friends *we can sort of charter the growth of her cousins by now*, all the familiar faces, including an uncle of hers who loves taking a video of us *god, he prolly has our faces on video since back then!*...our table was always the loud one, and before and after dinner we'd go and jump jump on Su-Li's bed, and then exchange pressies, while Su-Li forced chocolates down our throats..and there's always the obligatory group poses on the bed, at the dinner table ,and of course, her gorgeous xmas tree *Su-Li always have the best xmas tree*...whee! can't wait! exchanging gifts is also part of the process, where she'll put a ceiling on the gift's prices..back in those days, it would be RM 5, so we got stuff from bookshops and what not :p..but this year, it has climbed up to RM 20, so i think i'ma gonna go to KLCC for lunch today to scour for a gift...so, far i've gotten a notebook, a jewelrey box and chocolates..i think...exchanging the pressies is also done in quite the similar way all these years...she'll label all the gifts with numbers, and put all the numbers in a box and we'll each draw one...the thing is, she seems quite unprepared all these years with the labeling and all,ehehhehe..but since i missed last year's party, maybe she's more prepared? ehhehe...we'll have to wait and see....can't wait! let's just hope i can squeeze into my dress once again *glums* i knew i should have bought a bigger dress during my short London trip the other day...cheh!

am going to have lunch today with more cousins at KLCC, insya-Allah....the boss won't be in *well, at least that's what she told me*..so i can take a longer lunch break! muahahahhaha....

Happy Christmas folks!
