Breathe Again

Have you wondered how it feels
When it‘s all over
Wondered how it feels when you just
Have to start anew

Never knowing where you‘re going
When you face a brand new day
It used to be that way
Now I just close my eyes and say

I just wanna breathe again
Learn to face the joy and the pain
Discover how to laugh a little
Cry a little
Live a little more

I just wanna face the day
Forget about the woes of yesterday
Maybe if I hope a little
Try a little more
I‘ll breathe again

Starting out again is never easy
Disappointments come and go
But life still moves on
With a bit of luck

It‘s a brand new start
That might just work my way
No need to walk away
Don‘t want to live on life‘s replay

I just wanna breathe again
Learn to face the joy and the pain
Discover how to laugh a little
Cry a little
Live a little more

I just wanna face the day
Forget about the woes of yesterday
Maybe if I hope a little
Try a little more
I‘ll breathe again

Things will work out fine
If you can find the courage to look past the night
To see the break of dawn

I just wanna breathe again
Learn to face the joy and the pain
Discover how to laugh a little
Cry a little
Live a little more

I just wanna face the day
Forget about the woes of yesterday
Maybe if I hope a little
Try a little more
I‘ll breathe again ..

Job Vacancy: PARENT

Dear diary,
I was reading my x-boss's blog when i came across this funny yet true entry by him...or from the original author of it. This is what we call as the beauty of parenting...

Job Vacancy: PARENT

VACANT POSITION:
~ Mom, Mommy, Mama, Ma , Mak , Emak, Ibu, Umi
~ Dad, Daddy, Dada, Pa, Ayah, Bapak, Abah

JOB DESCRIPTION:
Long term, team players needed, for challenging permanent work in an, often chaotic environment. Candidates must possess excellent communication and organizational skills and be willing to work variable hours, which will include evenings and weekends and frequent 24 hour shifts on call. Some overnight travel required, including trips to primitive camping sites on rainy weekends and endless sports tournaments in far away cities! Travel expenses not reimbursed. Extensive courier duties also required.

RESPONSIBILITIES:
Responsible for the rest of your life. Must be willing to be hated, at least temporarily, until someone needs $5. Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly. Must be willing to be indispensable one minute, an embarrassment the next.Also, must possess the physical stamina of a pack mule and be able to go from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat in case, this time, the screams from the backyard are not someone just crying wolf. Must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges, such as small gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets and stuck zippers. Must screen phone calls, maintain calendars and coordinate production of multiple homework projects. Must have ability to plan and organize social gatherings for clients of all ages and mental outlooks. Must handle assembly and product safety testing of a half million cheap, plastic toys, and battery operated devices. Responsibilities also include floor maintenance and janitorial work throughout the facility.Must always hope for the best but be prepared for the worst. Must assume final, complete accountability for the quality of the end product.

POSSIBILITY FOR ADVANCEMENT & PROMOTION:
None. Your job is to remain in the same position for years, without complaining, constantly retraining and updating your skills, so that those in your charge can ultimately surpass you.

PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE:
None required unfortunately. On-the-job training offered on a continually exhausting basis.

WAGES AND COMPENSATION:
Get this! You pay them! Offering frequent raises and bonuses. A balloon payment is due when they turn 18 because of the assumption that college will help them become financially independent. When you die, you give them whatever is left.The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme is that you actually enjoy it and wish you could only do more.

BENEFITS:
While no health or dental insurance, no pension, no tuition reimbursement, no paid holidays and no stock options are offered; this job supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth and free hugs for life if you play your cards right.


Dedicated to parents in appreciation for everything they do on a daily basis. And to anyone thinking of applying for the job

Tukar kerja lagi???

Dear diary,
Tensionnye!!! Sakit kepala arini...Rasa penat sangat...setakat hari ni dah banyak kali sangat aku tukar2 kerja.rasanya dah 6 kali.kalo tukar lagi kali ni dah masuk yg ke tujuh.penat dgn hal kena tukar2 kerja2 ni.Aku nak stabilityyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Susah sgt ke nak dapat kat dunia ni. susah sgt ke nak naik gaji aku ni. susah sgt ke aku nak naik pangkat?????
Tired sgt rasa gusar, tired sgt rasa cam tak puas ati, tired sgt rasa cam hidup tak stabil.
Aku dah dioffer tempat kerja baru, dekat Menara Haw Par sbg Trainer. Kerja yg sama dioffer pada my x-colleague. My x-colleague tu dah accepted their offer n started working for few days.Then suddenly he sms me telling me that da company i'm supposed to join too next month is a lousy company. Ntahlah...die kata company tu tak structured lah,tak organized lah, boss tak mau pendapat staff langsung lah...tapi kat mana kita kerja sekali pon, even da old company sekali pon, the culture still like that jugak.

Tadi gi mkn dgn my officemate. She's well read person, although same age but somehow wiser interms of marriage or life in general.After talking to her I feel a bit relieved and comforted about my decision moving to this new company. She leave it to me but advise that maybe I should give it a shot. The wage that the new place is offering me is way higher than what i'm getting now..almost RM1000 the difference. From there, I can set a higher standard for myself in the future. After all, I've reached the age of 30 which other people are quite comfortable in getting their salary past the benchmark of RM3k. If I stay here, chances of moving up the ladder is very low so probably moving away is a good step.
I wish that it's my hubby who would comfort me with these words instead of my girlfriends. He's my soulmate but apparently he's not intune with my emotional needs..I got frustrated with him this morning. Hope that he would at least give me a boost of confidence or soothing words just by saying"...dun worry, things will be okay"but instead he just said in a way that he's not interested to know or simply couldn't care less..didn't even show any initiative to show that he's willing to dig more into this company's past/future background for my sake..i feel unappreciated.

Bagan Lalang - our first little memory together...

Dear diary,
Last weekend hubby, Qistina and me went for a holiday in Bagan Lalang. It's not so far from KL , about 1 and 1/2 hours by car. It's near seaside and we had our opportunity to lavish on the grilled fish or ikan bakar. taste good, fresh seafood but the service is lousy. they had my order mixed up with other customers but never said sorry.never even admitted that they were wrong..hampeshhh....
we stayed at Hotel Seri Malaysia, not a grand hotel, just 2 stars, but heyy...as long as we're together as a family, i'm quite happy with it..
Dipped my baby's small chubby feet in the seawater...hehe...so cute when she grins the moment she saw her feet touched the water...she didn't stop grinning from ear to ear. .She loves to bath of course she loves water. Later we brought her to the hotel's swimming pool, again she jumps with joy with so many water around her...haha...
This is the memory i'm trying to create. ..this is the moment i'm going to treasure for the rest of my life with my small family of my hubby and my baby. Years on, this memory will always stays in our mind...
