Emotional ups and downs
The past few days have brought about an array of emotions into my life.
On Saturday I was torn between working and staying at home. I wanted to stay at home and help out with whatever preparation there was to make for the open house the next day (Sunday); but, I had to go to work for I was the only one working. If I didn't come into the office, our department would 'tutup kedai'. Plus I had some work waiting for me on my desk, which I had to finish coz I was on leave on Monday.
On Sunday I was:
(a) Happy & excited – lots of friends and family came over for the makan-makan. Food was good, the chit-chat was good. The laughter was aplenty... who wouldn't be happy eh?
(b) Slightly disappointed when a few close friends couldn't make it.
(c) A bit frustrated coz I couldn't exactly spend a lot of time with the guests who came. What with food to be refilled, drinks to be served... I could only manage to chit-chat with one group for a moment, only to fly away to another group the next minute, and another, and another... you get the drift.
(d) Dead beat – after a day on my feet (hey, I rhyme!)
On Monday, I was recovering from Sunday. Enough said.
Tuesday is my day back at work. Mixed feelings again.
Dreaded it, coz I think some people will be calling me, work related, of course.
Happy for I'm back at my desk with superfast internet connection. You try lah being on the Net from home with a dial-up – speed of 28.8kbps.
Eheh, I can hear you gasp. Oh well what can I do? Until they say "port available", only then can I enjoy Streamyx. And don't bother suggesting other broadband providers – apparently they don’t intend to give services to people in "remote" areas such as Setapak and Gombak :P
Relaxed for I went for a Sauna + Body Massage + Mandi Susu session. Very relaxing I tell you. On Tuesday morning I decided that I cannot tahan having my muscles screaming "Owww!!" (especially on the soles of my feet, my betis, my thighs, my shoulders) so I called up a beauty centre somewhere nearby and made an appointment. And at 9pm when I walked out of the centre, I felt glowing all over and so very refreshed. I think I was smiling all the way to the car.
Wednesday (yesterday) was taxing on my emotions:
(1) I was looking forward to going to work, errrr... coz the boss wasn't around (still on MC), Im was on leave and Parrot was still on leave too. Bosses tak ada, of course lah I was smiling the whole time I was driving to work.
(2) The boss invited us for lunch at her house in Bangsar. Free lunch! Best woo..!
(3) I finally managed to catch up on blog readings. LOLs..! So many interesting blogs out there, so little time to read 'em all.
(4) I was updating something in my blog (I think I was adding MokcikNab's link at my sidebar), and after saving, I clicked 'Republished'. Guess what? The IE hang!! I had no choice but to press 'Ctrl+Alt+Del' and end task on IE. The next time I opened my blog page, EVERYTHING WAS GONE!! I almost had a cardiac arrest! I felt like I was soooo close to tears and was about to start pulling my tudung in frustration (I can’t pull my hair, all covered with tudung laa).
OK Yam, breathe...
(Oh yeah, if you’re reading this, the problem must've been resolved eh? :D )
Well, this morning by some miracle (read: the help of the nice people in Blogger.com. Thanks a million!), all my blog posts were restored woohooo!

I'm planning to go to a spa with Sheils, probably sometime before the New Year. I owe it to my body – the pampering, the relaxing massage.
Ooohh... kalau ikutkan hati, I think we both will not think twice and head straight to Sembunyi Spa in Cyberview Lodge. But, we are two sane, very rational women (eh, honest, we really are!). So we decided to shop around for a spa facility / package, which is not too expensive (not too cheap either lah) and worth spending our money on. (BTW, Sheils, what's your Budget like?)
Hmm... any ideas on the spa package / facilities we could try?
