Day 2 of 365 of 2025

Settled my house chores and I have my own time after 3.30 pm.  Again spending time with my laptop, browsing and browsing.  I still cant make up my mind what I should today.  Do some housekeeping with my studio or rearrange my wardrobe that been an eye sore to me.  

Later decided to rearrange and declutter some of my clothes.  Now I realised I had more shawls rather than clothes. Ha ha ha.. izzit a sign for another shopping gala?

I guess I'm a boring person by looking at my shawls collection.  I have more green shawls  although purple is my favourite colors .

Found this tudung bawal among in my collection. It belongs to my late mom, and been keeping it for 10 years eversince mom passed away.  May be I should wear them one day.  

~Phlox a Journey, until she stops somewhere ....

Yeahhh.. She's Not Stop Yet !

 Yup, she's not stop yet.. Although it takes her few years, and she's here again in 2025 😍

HAPPY NEW YEAR ! 

It's 2025, how time flies and I'm getting old !

On the first day of 2025, I'm HOME ALONE.  Not feeling sad, just feeling happy alone in the house.  A lot of thing runs in my mind on how to spend my day.  Started my day by browsing Food Panda for my brunch and decided to order Domino personal pan pizza & chicken wing to treat myself.  Guess what, I cant finished my meal !

I have a long list that I plan to do.  With this long list, I doubt I can completed them all or not even one.  Knowing myself.  And pretty true, I didnt managed to do so not even a Netflix session.  What did I do ?  Browsing over the Pinterest for ideas.

Therefore gone Day 1 of 365 of 2025.

Phlox A Journey, until she stop somewhere...

My Me Time

Been up early today. Just lazying on my bed, thinking what to do today. Earlier appointment to meet a friend wuz cancelled. And leave me free to roaming.

Decided to drive to the nearest Secret Recipe outlet. Just to treat myself to this 'My Me Time' after so long.  Browsing over the menu, all seems yummy to me. End up I ordered Ice Cappucino, Baked Mozarella Fish and Shinjiku Chocolate Bake, served with La Cremeria Ice Cream.  Heaven ! And I shall add few kgs to my weight. Who cares !!

Been Ignored This Blog ...

.... yeapp, i have been ignoring this blog for quite some time. not only this blog, my other craft blog too.. i juz dunno what to write in here, thou at times i hv many ideas splurging not at the right time.

this week gonna be my 4th week being a WAHM. I hope i hv made a right decision but today, i start thinking of shud i hunt for job again. well, my emo not stable today.... it's not easy being a SAHM or WAHM unless you get the full support from the loved ones... did i ?

Cheryl Cole - Parachute ( Official Music Video ) [ HD, Lyrics ]

I luv listening to this song.. lately, at least !

should i stay, or should i leave...

well, i've been in employment for almost 8 months now but to tell the truth, i wud prefer to stay at home. i feel so tired to manage between housework & office work. i'm like a machine who works non-stop as early as 4.30 am till 12 am. i guess being the house maid is much better, although earning about rm500 monthly with meals, clothes & cleaned room provided.

i'm tired of traveling 40 km per route, which take me almost 1 hr. not to mention to face the massive traffic jammed. and the most worst thing, get my salary deducted 1 hr daily for almost every day. at the end of the month, few hundreds in total had been taken away from my paycheck.

talked to dear hubby, he kinda give a green light but myself still not sure whether this is a right step to make. i've been thinking whether i'll be able to pay my dues at the end of the month, with the little allowance dear hubby gave. few friends was suggesting if i could do some beadsworks to generate some income, which i'm considering now.

It's Already 2010...

... ermm, how time flies. we're not in year 2010, on the 20th day to be exact and yet, i have neglected this blog for quite some time. no, i hv no intention to delete this blog as i like my blog's name - 'Phlox - A Journey'. A Journey of Phlox in her life, somewhere along the lines..

and i hope it's not too late to wish 'A Happy New Year' to my blog reader.. btw, as far as i can remember i only hv 2 readers who visited my blog once in a while..

I dunno why, but I juz feel sad...

m not too sure why m having tis problem. juz feel sad wif mixed feelings. cud it be today is munday, or 'somting' else. but definitely not bcoz of the PMS - i had it much earlier. try to think the root of my uneasiness, try to kill the thots. i guess all tis, bcoz of my curious & jealous. i juz cant agreed y dh want to bring in his ex-purchaser to his new coy. i knew he'll bring in 2 other engrg staff fr previous coy, which it thnk it's relevant. but y he want to bring in this lady in. d moment he said that lady is like a makcik makcik type, i didnt really believe. while having evening chat wif my neber, i found out that 'makcik' who was my neber's classmate, is not really a makcik type. yeahh, she wore tudung.. n not to mention here - wif some thick makeup. and my feeling feels more uneasy when i read this 'makcik' email to dh, she addressed dh as 'Dear' in the first line of the letter.

urghhh.. such a silly thot.., shoohh.. shoohh... i deserve a better day !!!!

Guess.. Which One Is Me...???

A bunch of us during our UIS class.. every body gotta wear our tudung, otherwise Ustaz Hayyun will ask us to pack our things and leave the classroom... hik hik..

So.. U guess, which one is me.. btw, this photo wuz taken 18 years ago... see how young we're..

p/s :

I'm still on my job hunting mission.. wish me luck..

errrkk.. who read my blog anyway yea..??? if u happened to read my blog, please leave a comment...

Need Job Desperately !

I got a breakfast interview this morning at 8.30 with recruitment agent. Wuz about to sms her to move the appointment to 8.45 but she already smsed me at 8.00 saying she’s already at the venue. Sighh.. as I still at home !!!

The traffic wuz not as usual, long que at 8 a.m. Ha ha.. I haven’t been in this situation for 2 mths already as I nowadays leave home at 8.30 hik hik.. By 8.15 have to sms her back to cancel the appointment as I foresee I only reach Amcorp Mall by 8.45 the earliest or 9.00.

Went to the PO again to renew my driving license after the computer goes offline right away when it come to my turn. This time, M very lucky as the counter girl remember me n push me to her colleague. Within 5 minutes, everything settled and I smile again after my driving license renewed for another year. And no summon so far, yeah yeah..

It’s already 9 am, but I decided to make a turn towards Worldwide Business Centre to have a quick check on what companies rented over there. Quite a few, but I guess at this hour not a right time as everybody seems busying near the lift. Should have come again so other time, at odd hours.

As I was driving to work, I feel that I feel emptied, frustrated and so on. I hate to go work, with current company which pay me less, but I have work more. I got the RM 500 allowance juz to tally back what I earned before, but I have to come back on Saturdays. I feel, it’s not right. I wanted to put in my resignation but comtemplate to do so as I need some figures to bank in to my bank monthly although the amount only be there on 7th or 8th of every month. It’s kinda of frustating when banks keep on calling, chasing for payment which I usually settled by 3rd.

How I need a job which pays well, somewhere near Shah Alam desperately !!!!

Business Trip or Holidaying ???

The flight is on Saturday, and will take few hours to reach destination. And normal working days over there only starts on Monday. So what do you all think of that Saturday & Sunday ? Business Trip or holidaying ???

Happy Birthday Nonie !!!

Today is 7 March, and today is Nonie's birthday. Yet I haven't make any call wishing her. I missed her last year birthday, and some how it stuck my mind early in the morning reminding me on her my birthday.

Nonie wuz my 1st best friend , whom I knew since my Primary 1. We're been in the same class until we're in Primary 4, before I left Convent to stay with my grandma. We're very close at that point of time, sitting next to each other in the class most of d time, taking our break together at the school canteen, learning our 1st chopstick session from Wy and lots more. I still remember until now, she signalling me from the other end when our English teacher asked to do a composition on 'My Best Friend'. She wants me to write about her & vice versa, and we did !

We do keep in touch after I left Convent for quite some time, and later we stopped. When I enrolled to college, I met Wy & Keda who remember me very well. From them, I get to know Nonie also taking the same course, but at other branch. We met for the 1st time after more than 7 yrs, during our convocation. But she wuz very arrogant until I dun ever feel to meet her again. Funny thing, after I settled down here.. I saw quite often at the bus stops, and some we board d same bus and yet none of us greet each other.

Again, it's a small world. I met her during my son's kindy sportdays.. we juz exchange smiled. And kindy principal wuz kinda enuf to give me her contact no after get her approval. We do call each other occasionally. I knew she had a tough time when her husband was suspected in murder case, which was well known n published in most Malaysian papers.

Dear friend, Happy Birthday.. May life getting better than ever.. hugs..

Bored @ Work

I dunno how to describe what I feel right now, but what I know is I feel bored at work. It's not M feel bored bcoz I sat alone here in this room far from the rest. I think I can cope well with being alone, as this is my working life for past 15 years.

I guess the best way to describe it is : I feel bored with my boss, with my work, with this company and it seems there's no way out. It's like a curse working here, and now I understand why there are sooooo many 'dead woods living' around here.

I want to make a move, I want to breathe a freezer air. I do feel guilty for coming to work, juz doing my job with less than 50% sincerity. My work been stacking day by day, by M juz too lazy to finish them. And I do feel guilty also for stacking my work. Thing becomes worst when I was served with my 1st ever WARNING LETTER in my employment history, 3 weeks ago.. Gosh !!

Unqualified

I went for another interview couple of weeks ago @ Philleo 1. This expatriate (lady COO) needs a PA to help out in the office.

The moment I entered NKVE via Bkt Jelutong, gosh !!!! the traffic really pack !!! Ohh how am I to deal with this traffic daily.

I've been to Philleo 1 b4, but come one I didnt find how to enter this building. Goshh... !!! Ring.. ring.. my phone rang, the HR gal called to check out whether I will attend the interview. Been round n round, until I found d perfect parking.

I got to wait for nearly 1/2 hr after filling up the application form b4 I finally met the COO. As expected, I was asked why I want to make a move after 11 faithfully years here *sigh*..

This COO make a remarks thou I have 15 yrs experience in secretarial line, I have ZERO experience as PA to the top management. Heyyy.. it that a big deal ??? Anyway, I guess I gotta d result on d spot - I am UNQUALIFIED for that PA post. Gosh !!!

Maidless !!!

After a long one month leave, finally my maid said SHE'S NOT COMING BACK. OMG !!! I juz burnt my 8 days current leave last year juz to take care of d kids while my maid enjoy her balik kampung trip. Althou I've a strong feeling she's not coming back, I try to be positive she's not like other maids in my neighbourhood who did not turn up after their balik kampung. Ermmm.. seems, all Indons are the same.

Life is a bit haywire right now.. with me working & managing the house. Of course dear darling do lend his hands to do some house chores, but still not enuf. Romeo is taking charge of laundry of the day, supervising his brothers in between their KAFA & secondary school. Baby continues at nursery after her kindy session. Baby has changed a lot recently, she refuse to go to school in the morning.. She will cry and cry, saying she didnt like to stay at the nursery. Lucky, one of my neighbour agreed to look after her starting this Feb.

Thou it really hectic, M glad I got my house back.. my kitchen, my kids.. M still sourcing how to simplify doing house chores, so that I could have more time to spent with dear darling & the kids and my hobbies.
