By the standards of the last couple of weeks, this weekend has thus far been the most relaxed and peaceful one for me. I think I've said this far too many times, and at the risk of being accused of oversaying it yet again, work in my office has been close to slavery proportions. March to June are really busy times, and coupled with the factors of a demanding boss and a difficult colleague, it is considered a success that I somehow managed to breathe alive still. Weekend in the office has become almost a regular feature for my wife and myself, and to be honest I am beginning to feel sick going to work these days. Wifey and myself could do with a long relaxing break after all this madness is over. I wish it would come soon enough.
An event worth highlighting this last one month is my wife's purchase of a new laptop. She bought it at the PC fair that took place in KL a couple of weeks ago. The idea is for her to be able to get more work done from home instead of having to stay until late in the office, or having to go to the office during weekends. I have to admit that a laptop is a very useful tool. For one, my ideas to write come flowing more easily on the keyboard of a laptop than on a PC, thus supposedly would allow me to write more on this blog than ever... hehe... we'll see. And on a more practical note, it helps to do some work from home as well. So I do not feel as obliged to be in the office over the weekends anymore.
On the domestic front, my little girl Insyirah will be 9 months tomorrow. My, how time flies! Her development has been a rather rapid one this last couple of days. It is a wonder that her sweet little voice can be such a great remedy to a hard day's work of stress. The other day she called out for me when she saw me walked up the stairs from work, 'abahhh'.. and the whole day's stress was gone in a second. She has just learned to bring herself up into a sitting position, and I reckon she will start crawling and walking in no time. Time realy does fly when you have a kid growing up...
I have this darling picture of her staring at me on my desk at work...
... while this picture of hers graces the wallpaper of my PDA.
Ok.. it's time for more serious use for this laptop. Going to get some work done now. Go Izwan Go!
