Heartiest Congratulations to my daughter Dilla, who got promoted on her job, today!
I knew it was coming, since Dilla puts in hundreds of extra hours working as an 'Auditslave'. I have not met another girl who went to work at 8.30am on a Saturday and came back with black eyebags at 8.30am on Sunday - defying papa's and mama's scornful looks, for the sake of completing her work!
If you don't get the promotion, "I'll complain to The Partner of your firm"!!! It's my favourite phrase whenever I'm not happy with Dilla's working condition...he,he,he....
I'm waiting for the next good news...*wink,wink*.....hope it will be soon.

The Spectacles of his life.
I wonder if there is another mum who suffers in not-so-silence like me!!
Who wouldn't if your beloved son lost his spectacles 3 times in a span of a year!!!
Imran started to use glasses some time in May last year when he had problems with his vision. We spent an entire evening at an optician at The Curve to choose a frame which suited his face the best. He took elaborate measures to ensure that he remained goodlooking. After maybe 3 months, the handle of the spectacles broke!
We went to the same optician and got it replaced. The poor thing was missing after about 2 months.
My patience was still intact when I took Imran to various opticians in Taman Tun Dr. Ismail, alas, all 5 of them did not have the frame that he liked!! Finally I had to make that trip to the same high-end shop at The Curve......only for him to loose the stupid expensive pair of spectacles A.G.A.I.N!!!!!
Mana tak naik darah??????
Incidently, during the same period,I have been watching Suze Orman shows on Oprah, on CNBC and on Larry King Live.She has somehow successfully converted me into thinking prudently.
I figured that if you keep on loosing your glasses means that you don't really need them!I pretended not to be bothered for a whole week when Imran said he can't function in school without seeing the white board in front of his class.
Kesian lah pulak, nanti tak dapat 13As in his SPM, it will entirely be my fault!And he would blame me for the rest of his life!!!
Life is easy, isn't it? It's your fault in the first place but you get to blame your mommy!!
So, yesterday, dalam hujan ribut taufan, I drove Imran to the nearest optician, I told him that he either pick one at whatever shape and size available or he'll have no spects at all. A beggar can't choose!! This is going to be the last pair of spectacles I'm buying him, if he looses it again, the next one will be paid for with his own money!
Berleter punya berleter....our friend chose an oakley frame at the price of the Manager at my Travel Agency's one month salary!
I was startled at how much a flimsy little metal rods called titanium cost and asked the optician why was it SOOOOO expensive!
Imran let out an embarrased sigh and whispered under his breath that I behaved like someone from Sg. Penchala....
(sudah lah careless, nak judgemental pulak!!!)
Yeah, we are so going to live in Sg.Penchala (right across the mosque, not on the hilltop) if you don't stop treating me like as if I own the Bank Negara!!!!!
On the same related event:
Asnah, the maid: Ya ampun, adik! Hilang kaca matanya lagi?? Senang betul hidup adik, ya! Kalau seluarnya tak pasang butang, tentu udah lama tercicir ditepi jalan!!!
Imran: Kakak, boleh syadap tak??????

Optician: Adik, orang tukar spects 4 tahun sekali, adik tukar spects 4 kali setahun!!
Imran: **ggrrrrrr**
