Heartwarming.....

Hah.. I had lunch today with my ex-colleagues whom I miss quite a bit since our friendship has transcended beyond the boundaries of just being colleagues. Met them at KLCC to have lunch, thus I had to take the LRT there. It was lunch time and the LRT was kinda packed... so I had to stand..sob sob..with my big belly and all... when we came to the first stop, some ppl who were sitting got off and I tried to get to a seat but alas those seats were snapped up by some young guys!!!! Can u imagine it? They didn't have the decency to give me their seat and the irony of it all was that they were just sitting opposite the sticker that encouraged you to give up your seat to an old person, a pregnant woman, someone with a baby... and I do believe that I fall under that category! Not that I needed to sit down or anything but it would have been good for them to have offered me their seat! Bah... Chivalry is definitely dead for some ppl.

Now u must be wondering why am I complaining when the title of my entry is "Heartwarming". Well, on my way back to the office, I took the LRT again. As soon as I got on, this lady immediately got up and offered me her seat. I was really very touched and thanked her profusely. It is definitely better to sit down after lunch as I felt heavier. ANyhow, kudos to the lady. May God bless her for her kind gesture. This was definitely the heartwarming bit and just to show that sometimes guys can just be either really dense or unfeeling! Hmpph!!!

ANyhow, TGIF.... have a good weekend everyone... We're having a doctor's visit tomorrow afternoon... how exciting!

I'm still alive....

Okay okay.. I know that I haven’t been blogging… and my excuse is that I’ve just started work and before that I didn’t have much access to a computer.. although my husband and my mom would not agree to this statement but that’s what my excuse is going to be.

My first couple of days at work went well. I’m slowly trying to get use to the work environment at my new office. Also trying to get use to the different perspective that I have to take at work. Learning all this new terminology and focusing all efforts on one industry that is so vast is just not funny. That coupled with the various assignments that my boss has handed out to me. But I’m not complaining, I get to learn new skills, new knowledge, new information and hopefully get opportunities to improve myself further.

One thing that I enjoy most is the traffic. Yes, you might think that that is lame but for a person who has been braving the KL traffic for 6 years or so.. one will definitely appreciate it. My first day driving back home from work was absolutely bliss – I was so happy with traffic conditions, despite it raining before I left the office. It took me barely about 20-30 minutes to get back home as compared to a whopping 1 hour or more last time. Ah… the simple pleasures in life. A friend laughed at my happiness at not having to brave the KL traffic anymore. Hah, at least I don’t get stressed up anymore when they decide to close the rounds around the KLCC area whenever a major event takes place in our country.

Other than that, I’m coping fine. One other thing to cope with is the fact that I start work at 8 am! Arghs… that’s really early. Try to have breakfast at that time.. it’s just not happening… guess it’s just a matter of getting used to… but I officially get off work at 5pm… which is good to a certain extent, and because of better traffic conditions, I probably be able to work longer hours in the office (not too sure whether it is a good thing or bad – not yet able to decide).

Other than that, more updates on Olivia coming up soon! So stay tuned!
