Away on business trip.. and others

i. Away on business trip

Hah.. that was the reason why I couldn't find the time to update my blog. I was outstationed last week on Thursday and Friday. Not far. Only to Kuala Lumpur. Well, it is considered far from where I live. Anyway, I left the kids with my mom since she doesn't want to tag along. But my darling husband was there with me. We managed to catch up on a few things.. felt like it has been ages since we last went out for dinner, just the two of us.. without the kids. No doubt, they are always on our minds.. in fact, our conversations seem to concentrate on them. But then.. minus the screamings.... :)...

ii. My husband hates KL

He was always complaining. He'd rather stay in the hotel room for the whole day while I attended some meetings instead of going shopping. We were staying so close to KLCC, and yet he still wants to stay in the hotel. There was once when we went to have dinner at KLCC, after much arguing on where and what to eat we decided to get some noodles. That was when he quietly said to me, "I hate this place. Banyak maksiat." I asked him, "What do you mean?" "For a guy, it is a big challenge to control his eyes. Semuanya terbuka." Hmmm.....

iii. Somebody found out that I did not invite him for the small gathering

Ouch! This was what I dreaded. Silly me! How could I have invited someone from his department without inviting him?????? And I knew him much better than this other person that I actually invited. Sorry Mr Z. I will not forget to invite you the next time around (if I ever have one again!). Cooking for 30 was tough enough, I don't know how one can manage cooking for 200+ people! (note to mardhiah12!)

iv. That time of the year - Appraisal!!!

Monday morning... Aghhhhhh! No mood to work. And suddenly I get a phone call from my boss.. "Can you see me at 11.30? I need to discuss your performance appraisal." PANIC! But alhamdulillah.. the 1 hour 20 minute session went well. So, I am happy, and so is he!
