Long Overdue

Been ages since my last update, partly due to blogger being blocked in the office :|

Anways ...

Had an awesome two weeks in England. I never thought I'd be so much in love with that country that I have been thinking of heading back even during my trip!
Had a good catch up with Claire who brought me to places I would never dream of visiting if I were to go alone or with another friend.
Oh, I've signed up for a driving lesson! I promised her that our next road trip will have two drivers

I finally took the plunge. I adopted not one, but two .. TWO perfectly beautiful cats - a kitten and her mum. I was so excited and get a little teary when I unwrapped the scratching post I bought for them. This must be the feeling of every parents when they realised their hard earned money is put into someone that the kids will love. So, until the day I have kids of my own I am going to spoil rotten my two fur babies.

Went home during Ramadhan only to get it cut short because my aunt passed away. Who would've thought that I'd be spending the eve of Syawal on board the plane with mum and spending the 1st Syawal sending my aunt off to her final resting place. Life is indeed, vulnerable.

I'm done with my leave but still lack the motivation to head back to work. I have spent 2 days working from home, and planning to do the same tomorrow. This new job is not giving me the motivation, I am not really passionate now. I need to motivate myself and move back to what I love ASAP. for now, I will focus on the bonus and then look for internal move. I think part of this lost of interest is due to the fact that I am starting from the bottom again when those above me are not that competent, I am still frustrated with how things work in commercial, and that this role requires no business trip. I think I am quite okay with no business trip now that I have two fur babies that depend on me, I just need to really get used to this new slow pace environment. I should really really make use of this slow pace environment to do something else - I really need to think on what I really enjoy doing and make a profit from it..

Another ambition - property for my birthday present!! Might be a month or two later if I were to wait for my bonus, but lets aim for that. I am going to apply for citizenship too so that I can fulfill my dream of being a home owner ASAP.
Wish me luck!
