Random Thoughts of a Lioness

The reward of conformity was that everyone liked you, except yourself.

Back to Drama Land

After 10 days of absence from the corporate world (and its drama), I am back in the office. I was welcomed with a letter of transfer (yay!) effective immediately. I am now to report to my former boss, Ms Milk with a whole new set of accountabilities. Am I happy? Hmm..good question. I am happy to be out of this current position. I am happy to be given new challenges. I am happy Milk has faith in my abilities. And I am happy that I was being heard. However, I am not so sure I am going to be happy staying in this line for at least another 2 years. Right now however, I take it as my rezeki tahun baru. Insya Allah things will turn out well. Even Crazy seemed a bit sad I was leaving *HAHAHAHA* and is worried that my replacement would find my job too administrative for her. You think?! Why in the world do you think I wanted out in the first place??!

Aaanyway, a week at home playing Vorfied and watching the whole season of CSI with T was worth it. Apart from the occasional distress calls from Lalang on the work I left for her to check, it was all right. The work on T's apartment has been completed, and we have been shopping for drapes and furniture. With the limited fund of an unemployed graduate, he has inherited most of my bachelor furniture (Carrefour dining table for 4, Sg Besi sale TV cabinet and a Dreamland mattress) and we got him a new bedroom set as a housewarming gift (cum graduation gift cum birthday gift cum new year's gift - shows how kedekut we are!).

New Year was a quiet event. We were at home watching the countdown on TV. Invitations for supper and new year drinks were turned down. It was funny since my 30 something friends were out there dancing their hearts out at rave parties and concerts. Maybe I am getting old. Maybe I am no longer up to endure the smoke, loud music, drunks as the new year waltzed in. Maybe I was just to darn lazy to drag my ass out the door!

So, happy new year everyone. Here's to another long weekend at the end of the month! Hehehe...
