I haven’t posted anything in a while.  This week has been mighty hectic.  Wednesday I was in a meeting all morning. About five minutes after I got back to my desk, a line was slowly forming – people were waiting to ask me questions.  Yes, sometimes I feel like an old-reference book.   People come to me to get a feel for how things will fare.  God knows why.  It’s not like I make the decisions.  Wednesday late afternoon I was playing catch up with work that was supposed to get done Wednesday morning.  (Yes, this is going to be boring.  And I still have some ways to go.)  Where was I?  Wednesday afternoon.  Yes.  Wednesday evening I raced home to greet my new toy.  Ah, there it was waiting for me behind the storm door.   I was worried that the mailman would leave it out in plain sight and someone would’ve snatched it.  But s/he was smart.  Next time I will not worry.  Wednesday night I was busy preparing for my interview.  Oh ok, I was playing with my phone for a bit too. 

Thursday morning, I was frantic, trying to get ready in my “professional work attire”.  Those damned pantyhose.  Legs big.  Pantyhose small.  Runs.  Wiggle wiggle wiggle.  Yes, finally got in.  (The extra pair came in handy.)  The interview was ok.  The lady was friendly.  I’m careful about what I wish for, but sometimes I almost hate friendly interviewers, coz then I get paranoid that they’re trying to catch me off guard.  But we had a nice chat.  She asked me why I want an MBA.  So I told her.  She asked why Berkeley.  I told her that too.  Managerial style, what I do to relax, you know, those kind of stuff.  I was myself, for better or for worse.  I really really hope I get in.  I’ll be dead broke, but I’ll be damn happy.  Well, at least in the beginning.  I’m sure I’ll find something else to bitch and whine about.  Going back to Berkeley was something, though.  I almost forgot how hard it is to find parking.  And the crowd.  People who look like they just fell out of bed, walking to class.  They sure brought back memories.  I'm ecstatic that the interview is over with.  There’s nothing else to do now but wait for June 1^st.  I still need to finish my application for my backup school.  Argh.

But, today’s Friday.  And as always, that makes me feel infinitely better.  My heart skipped a beat even as I was writing that.  Today is KK’s birthday, so tomorrow I’m taking her and the kids out.  Sometimes I miss spending lots of time with the two kids.  They’re growing up too fast!  Abang is like completely bujang trang tang tang now.  And Deem is still mischievous and sneaky.  They both are doing well at school, it’s amazing.  Deem is in a gifted student’s program, and his report card had this assessment questionnaire that the teacher filled out.  So apparently he uses big words, forms his own opinion on things, and “provides directions for his peers” (bossy?).  Haha, that sounds like Deem alright.  In my mind, he’s still 5, and I still dukung him around from time to time.  Pretty soon he wouldn’t want me to hold his hand when crossing the street, I’m sure.  I'm looking forward to spending my day with them tomorrow.  Even though it means I'll be stuck in traffic for more than 2 hours.  I'll try to take pictures with my new phone.  Hehehehe...  Enjoy your weekend, people!  Have a good one.
