Life; The Next Chapter

Jika untuk teater Erma Fatima yang lepas, Tahajud Cinta saya memberinya markah cukup makan untuk lulus sahaja, teater terbaru beliau, Natrah saya boleh berikan A. Housemate saya lebih kritikal dengan mengatakan PGL tetap berkali-kali ganda lebih baik dari Natrah tetapi memandangkan saya tidak berkesempatan menonton PGL lagi, jadi Natrah boleh saya katakan antara teater yang terbaik pernah saya tonton.

Ada beberapa babak yang tidak perlu dan ada beberapa perkara boleh diperbaiki, tetapi secara keseluruhannya, satu comeback yang cemerlang. Tetapi sudah tentulah, apabila saya katakan ia teater A, ia tidak setanding dengan filem kelas A. Teater genre yang sangat berbeza. Sebelum anda menonton, atau jika anda tidak tahu siapa Natrah, anda boleh baca di sini.

Hujung minggu ini adalah hujung minggu yang amat produktif dan positif untuk saya. Selain menonton teater, saya juga mengecat rumah dengan Ummar dan seorang housemate saya. Baru saya tahu, mengecat tidak semudah kita melihat apabila orang melakukannya. 🙂

Lenguh juga tangan dan leher (mendongak untuk mengecat siling), namun worth it juga apabila siap. Kami berjaya mengecat sebuah bilik dan dapur rumah. Saya lupa bila kali terakhir saya mengecat (macam ada), tetapi ini kali pertama saya mengecat dengan bertanggungjawab (tiada siapa yang akan siapkan jika saya berhenti). Fuh, berat juga jadi orang dewasa ini. 🙂

Hujung minggu depan, kemungkinan saya akan mengecat juga. Tidak pasti lagi, bergantung sama ada housemate saya mahu biliknya di cat juga. Tetapi yang pasti pagi 12hb saya akan menyertai rakan pejabat saya ke Sky Trax! Pusat aktiviti luar untuk aktiviti separa extreme! 🙂

Happy Monday!

Sudah 3 hari tidur saya tidak lena. Sesuatu yang tidak pernah terjadi sebelum ini. Ada saja mimpi-mimpi dikejar atau mengejar yang meletihkan (apabila kita sendiri merasakan terlibat secara fizikal di dalam mimpi tersebut). Saya dapat kaitkan mimpi-mimpi ini disebabkan saya terlalu banyak memikirkan beban tugasan di pejabat (saya percaya mimpi disebabkan kita banyak berfikir mengenai sesuatu). Sebelum ini pun saya berfikir juga, tetapi mungkin tekanannya tidak sebesar sekarang.

Cuma nasib baiklah saya tidak berasa terus keletihan sepanjang hari. Saya masih merasakan saya mendapat tidur yang cukup. Jika tidak sudah tentunya prestasi saya akan merudum.

Hmm, saya perlu merehatkan minda saya di hujung minggu ini nampaknya. Hentikan berfikir soal kerja.

I have a minor headache today. I could not recall when is the last time I suffer from one. For sure, its long time ago. This one was caused by stress from the office. Managing a team is a little bit harder compared to when you are just part of the team. Now I have a project team of my own. Albeit small, it is still a headache to run especially if things are not running smooth. Luckily the stress I got is just caused by the trouble in managing people to best optimize their result. I believe the team have a lot more potential if we can keep friction and drama to the minimum. Headache or no headache, I still need to deliver. But it is still a good thing actually. I think having a headache as a manager is far better than having headache when you are just one of the team member. At least you got quality problems to solve. And it shows you have a job in this troubled economy (not that I need one, it is just for effect).

I haven’t write about my latest trip to Guangzhou yet, but the pictures were already uploaded. Do check them under About Me> Photos. When I have sometime, definitely I will post a full review.

New Gizmos

Almost 9 months ago, I wrote my wish list (here), an iPod touch and a netbook. I try to rationalize myself into not buying either. But I also note that it is very hard not to. It is just a matter of which one first. Well, I am not really proud of it, but it has manifest itself now. Not only I have an iPod touch (which is superb btw!) ~few months already, a black & cute Netbook ~bought last month, but I have also bought a new phone, Nokia E63.

Well, the phone that my sis gave me died on Ummairah last weekend. And having used to a relatively modern phone (which I use its Bluetooth Modem function often especially when I am in Kuantan), I could not just use the extra phone my father has (he has a lot of old phones). And I bought  a new one (to find out later that the K800i that my sis gave me can be repaired for just RM 40~which I also did and gave to Ummairah as her UPSR gift).

The salesguy is so polite and helpful. You know how I have this spot for sales right? And this guy is saying all the right things and gave me an irresistible offer. Add to that I have been dreaming and researching about BlackBerry for weeks, its not my fault right? Aha… 😉

Anyway, at least it is better than BlackBerry. And I got a good price on it. Anyway, I am pretty satisfied with it. Just could not imagine myself be in this situation. Having 2 expensive gadgets in the pocket. I like it, but I just don’t like paying for it. 🙂

Lesson learnt for you, delay your gratification. I know I am not doing too well on it, but hey, at least I delay it for 9 months! And this is the first time I actually bought a decent new phone for myself. :p (need to remember I need to be stronger and more diciplined about this in the future~hence this post)

Good luck!
