clicking wasn't so easy

My life was peaceful these past 3 days. Reason no.1 being mrs.boss was away, out-station sumwhere. it wasnt only me who was breathing easily and enjoying working throughout the day, but the rest of my colleagues too! but tomorrow she'll be back, ruining our mood and making our lives miserable again. Reason no.2 being, EDC was over. the preparation of the package was damn meticulous. not even a single mis-spelled was allowed. since my dept was short of hands (and legs and eyes and brains too) i really felt the pressure to make sure everything was perfect. It wasn't an easy job being a consolidator. Esp when it was your first time doing it. Talked about multi-tasking here. I had to "menghonggoh" everyone in my dept to submit everything early who in turn went "menghonggoh" their OPUs that they were in charge of, in which sometimes these OPUs still failed to respond to being "dihonggoh".The reaction chain. Trust me, it was far from being trouble-free. Straightforward didn't exist in this chain. In the end, the person who "menghonggoh" it all would always be the one who people looove to point fingers at. You might be thinking, but what about the but-i-am-new-to-all-these excuse? Hmph! In an environment that allows almost no mistake to be done, plus a boss who is.. oh well you know..malas nak eleborate lagi, it was hard i tell ya'.. Mrs boss always win no matter how the situation is. Coz mrs.boss always had someone to put all the blame on. Anyways, during the EDC Meeting tht day, since I was the consolidator, i had to be the click-click girl as well in which I had to, you know, click. It might be easy to some, click je lah mouse tu, and make sure you didn't go too fast or worse, slow. BUT, when you were in a room surrounded by all the big guns, VP for HR, the MD/CEOs, CEOs, GMs, SGMs segala..then you'd know how it felt. Maan, I had butterflies the size of super-giants in my tummy.There was this one time when all those big shots were in a very heated argument and the VP was looking rather displeased with all the fuss, out of nowhere, the VP asked me, "Siapa nama you?" "Najwa" "Ok Najwa..You faham tak ape yg they're discussing about?" "Errr..Faham.." "Ok I nak you jot down ye and calculate balik the numbers.." I didn't think I sounded like myself. I didn't think that I look like I understand it all at that time. Ok I was seriously flabbergasted. Because I actually had a conversation with THE VP. Hahaha.. Boleh tak?

Nothing like a gerbera on an early Saturday morning

I have always marvelled at how surprises could stun me and made me went aaaooowww-ing esp when I was at my office immersed in my work, when suddenly someone came by and gave me that!

the return of how to cook a super birthday

So last Friday my personal rockstar turned 23 (now you HAVE to accept the fact that we share the same age). I wanted to do something special for him. Unlucky me, I was doomed to be super busy the whole week that I didn’t have enough time to properly plan his so-called big birthday bash. Kenapalah secara tiba-tiba sahaja mrs.boss harus menganugerahkan kerja-kerja saat terakhir yang tidak sepatutnya saya lakukan. Saya cumalah benih picisan (seeding) yang tidak beberapa mahir lagi dan memerlukan banyak lagi tunjuk ajar yang jarang-jarang diberikan. Dang mrs.boss!!

anyhouuu....in the midst of crazy deadlines, I was also busy outlining the plans for his birthday. Not laa that I was doing something super-extravaganza like having strippers coming over or a marilyn Monroe look-alike to pop out of a birthday cake and sing happy birthday to him. I just wanted it to be special. And special it turned out to be. To him, at least :)

A few days before his birthday, we went window-shopping at KLCC’s Philosophy Men. Browsed through the range of accessories that they have in store. He displayed keen interest in one of the leather wrist band. It was nice. Suited him perfectly. I was praying hard that he wouldn’t buy it at that time. And he did not! Yeayy!! Meaning, I knew what I was gonna get him for his birthday.

So here's the list of things (okkk..i can hear you guys yawning already.Hahaha..) that I did on the big day:

To start it all nicely, I put a birthday card, plus Toblerone, on his desk, as a pre-birthday surprise before he reached his office.
Lunch hour: Went to buy the gift. Wanted to have it wrapped there but they didn't have that kind of service (WTF???). So I rushed to Memory Lane and asked for a custom-made silver box to put it in. And time time ni laaaa, si pembuat kotak itu boleh nak take his own sweet time to do everything. Dgn org2 ramai lining up. Ramailah pulaaaak yang celebrate birthday hari tu.I was like hellooooooo, cepat sikit boleh tak dik? Ntah hape-hape lah nasib dengan customer service hari tuuh..
Remaining time during lunch hour: Called up TGV, and several cafes to have a quick bite coz u know lah kan how all these outlets were always packed with people on a Friday evening.Called Gloria Jean's(wanted to book tht one particular special sofa where everything started. heh.but couldn't coz it was only the 2 of us.Dang!!), Dome(it had just been renovated. looked pretty with all those cozy sofas..)
after lunch hour,back to office:busy with his gift, adding some last minute touch to it.haha.. at the same time being interrupted by makcik-makcik itu yang gemar menyibuk.Pweeehh...
at approx. 5 pm: out of the office.i'd better be before mrs.boss "unintentionally" asked me to stay back to do stuff for her. went straight to Gloria's hoping that I could get hold of that special sofa. BUT to no avail.That sofa was always occupied. Dang!! I wonder why..... Ended up going to Dome's and yeayy managed to get a pretty nice seat. (i dunno why, but seats are always important to me).

.....finally,i waited for him to come with a birthday pressie nicely wrapped and a big smile on my face. The rest of the nite went well... Glad you liked it! And you're 23 now!!! *lol*

Happy Birthday to you, my favourite :)

i know i haven't been around lately.
since it has been quite a while from the last time i put up a hello-world-i-am-down entry so today i decided to say that im freaking depressed.
because of everything and nothing.
so freaking depressed that it dawned on me that i couldn't do anything right at this point of time.
i couldn't even type a simple email to asking for updates from OPU who havent responded back with the requested info.
i couldnt simply just eat junk food and let the artificial colours and flavours work their magic on boosting my mood.
i couldn't eat my breakfast in peace as usual coz this is my fave time everyday before the demanding schedule started to get in (yeah ppl, it's true my schedule is hectic. some of you might start rolling your eyes at me now)
i couldn't even figure out why i was feeling what i felt now.
sigh.
im seriously depressed......
