It has been another really loooong and exhausting week again... I am really mentally tired and the past few weeks really have been a strain. Dealing with issues and difficult people.... you know sometimes it just amazes me 1) how childish people are 2) why some people hv such big egos 3) why some ppl think so great of themselves and don't see that it is wrong to treat others badly 4) why some people have 2 faces and then accuse others of hvng 2 faces 5) why i always end up being conned by this 2 faced people!!!
Nowadays, I find myself just looking forward to the weekend - but then even during the weekend my mind is still on the office and I end up not getting any rest at all. Even though I leave the office everyday at 5.30pm or 6pm, I end up bringing work home which I dont mind. But I also bring back more - worries and issues that just won't stop bugging me. I really am living, eating, breathing and sleeping Comfori!!!! My thoughts during the day are always revolving around the office and every night my dreams are about the office.
It really is exhausting and draining. When I wake up in the morning, I don't feel rested at all because my mind didn't get a break!
I know as a Christian, I should cast all my burdens unto the Lord and leave it in His hands and not worry, but it's really difficult to do that! I envy and admire people like Aunty Rosie who are able to just let go of the issues and concerns and troubles and leave it to God and not harp on it or worry about it all the time! Why is it so hard for me to do that??!!
I really need to try to stop dwelling and start trusting more and more. Lord Jesus, I truly need your guidance.!

TGIF tomorrow!
It really has been an exhausting week...mentally exhausting! There has been so many issues and stuff to take care off in the office and it has really drained me. I am so glad that tomorrow is Friday.
Let's see what happened over this week? It was Lorraine's birthday on Tuesday so we took her out for lunch. A bit of a black cloud over the day for her as her granddad is in the hospital but we are keeping him in prayer and believing in a recovery. Poor girl, it must be really tough for her.. new job, assignment pressures and her granddad.
I won't be attending the Train the Trainer 1 week training that I am supposed to go for next week. I need to be in the office to take care of things so have pushed my attendance to the February dates. I'm glad though. With work being so hectic and next week being the week before CNY, there is just so much to be done.
Talking about CNY, Ivan and I went to Car4 on Tuesday to buy the stuff to put into the bags for exchange... i dont know what it is supposed to be called la...... Changed money for ang paos and still more to change!! I still have to put them in the envelopes and sort the bags out... I am so happy though that we dont have to travel to Ulu Yam on the 1st day of CNY because Ah Sok's family will be coming down instead. And even though we are still going to Ipoh on the 2nd day, we are only going to be staying one night.
We got good news today! Ivan and his partners got an investor confirmed so ... YAY YAY YAY!!! I am so thrilled and happy - praise God for he is truly Awesome!!! So now they can get down to serious business! wooo hoooo!!
Tomorrow I'm gonna be at the Career Fair in Midvalley until 7pm. I hope that we get some good people and are able to hire a good group of people for our sales teams! We need lots of good people to hit our targets this year!
OK, I gotta stop thinking about work.. that is all I have been doing since 5th January - thinking, dreaming, living work non stop. I need rest!

First week of the year
The first week of the new year is over. It was an interesting week, and a very challenging one too. There was a lot to catch up with at work but it was good to be back in the flow.
I finally took down all the Christmas decorations yesterday. But the house is in a mess... well the hall and dining area that is! A lot of clearing up and cleaning up to be done - I plan to get it done before Chinese New Year!
It is back to work again tomorrow. I foresee a very very busy week next week. I have a lot to sort out for the Philippines office and also recruitment and hiring for the KL team. I just find that sometimes I can get a bit overwhelmed with the work and then I have a brain freeze!
Today Pastor David gave a good message on Abundance of His Grace. Something important that I need to focus on. I was also reminded on the importance of building my relationship with GOD. Something so obvious but many of us tend to take for granted; me included.
After church, we went over to Mama's for lunch. We hung out for a while, had a lie down and then Shayna came and we went to the gym to get some exercise. Now we are back home watching Alvin and the Chipmunks for the umpteenth time. Not a very eventful day but a good day.
I am going to turn in early tonight so that I will be recharged for the next week!

Wow....
I have no idea why i put the above title.. i couldnt think of anything else. I am pretty tired. It is 6pm and i am in the office still getting stuff done. I decided to take a moment to just pen a few words down... well type a few words down.
Yesterday was my company's management kick off meeting which we did at the Summit Hotel. All in all, it went well and it was an interesting day. I had fun at our after meeting dinner at Sawasde Thai Restaurant. Only 7 of us went though. Very cute Philipino waiters serving us :-) But poor Jean had stomach trouble today. Guess the spicyness of our food is getting to her :-)
Today was very tiring since it is the first day in the office since I started my Christmas leave on the 19th of December! So much to catch up on and issues to handle and meetings to handle. I had to postpone our monthly management meeting because I didnt have enough time. Plus we have the interview at the US embassy tomorrow morning for our US visas and only today I find out about the multiple documents that I need to bring along so I have been trying to get that all done as well. Pray that the interviews go well and that Ivan and I and Lawrence & Mel get our visas approved immediately!!
Lorraine joined Comfori today. I didn't have much of a chance to catch up with her because I have just been so so busy. I won't have time tomorrow either because i will only be back from the US embassy after lunch. I should be able to catch up with her for lunch on Thursday though. I feel so bad!!!
Ivan and I are taking Jean and Janueary to Sunway Pyramid today. We were supposed to do that last night but the girls were wiped out after the training. So after Sunway Pyramid, we have not decided where to take them yet. Ivan wants to take them to Section 17 for his favourite tong sui. We will see how it goesla..

Visitors from Philippines
Today Ivan and I went to the airport to pick up my two colleagues from our Philippines office.. Jean and Janueary. I was getting quite worried coz it took them almost an hour to get out. Something I did not expect as everytime I come back from Manila it only takes me about 15 to 20 minutes to come out!! Oh well... There was a lot of security around .. you know those guys in blue uniforms carrying big guns/rifles things... wonder why there seems to be more of them around than usual.
So anyway, we took them to Restoran Bak Kut Teh Ah Foong to try out the food. They want to try all kinds of Malaysian food so Ivan and I are planning to take them for Banana Leaf lunch tomorrow and I showed them where to get Nasi Lemak for breakfast. Guess its going to be a food fest the next few days :-)!!!

Happy New Year 2009!!
Happy New Year Everyone!! A new year with new opportunities, new chances and a new beginning...
Every year I come up with resolutions and every year I fail to keep them. So for this year, my family and I decided to do something a bit different. We came up with our own new years resolutions and resolutions for each other too and we shared them with each other and will help each other to achieve them. At the end of 2009, we will review them together to see what we achieved.
So here are my New Years resolutions for 2009:
1. To come down to 65kg in weight (don't ask me what I weigh now!!!)
2. To clean out my 2nd guest room (this room has been turned into a store room since we moved in here in Aug 2007 and i can hardly open the door now!)
3. To spend time daily in quiet time and prayer and reading the bible (something that I failed to do last year :-( )
4. To cut down on unnecessary expenses
5. To save more money
6. To be more positive and focus on the good things in my life
7. To be more patient
8. To pay off my credit card bills
I have started working on my resolutions and I plan to stick to them. Pray for me ya!! I'll keep this blog updated on my progress...!!!

Blogging for memories
I have finally started a blog!!
I was recently doing some cleaning and found some old diaries. Reading them brought back a lot of memories. The problem with keeping diaries is that it takes up too much space and i always lose them. So i decided to start this blog to use as an online journal. Much easier isn't it? Now i just have to make sure that I keep updating it!
