Hilmy turns 4 months to do. Oh how time flies so fast… A few more days to Ramadhan, of which last year I found out that I was pregnant. I’ve been working for over month since my return to Brunei. Alhamdulillah, my work permit has been approved and I’ll be extending my stay here for another year. You know I’m not really keen on staying here, but thinking of Hilmy and the extra time I have for him here, it is for the best. Otherwise, I’ll be wasting at least 2 hours everyday on the road commuting to and from work. Plus, in this insecure economic condition, securing an assignment for at least the next 1 year is a good thing. Come January, I will have to worry about what my next assignment would be. Obviously I will be keen on going home, I hope that there is still opportunity back home that is.
Being a working & pumping mom is not easy. In fact, it is hard work! I salute everyone who has done it; you guys should give yourself a big pat on the back. I constantly need motivation to keep on doing it. I hope to wean from the pump latest by January. After then, I will move to an office closer to home (5 minutes drive, woohoo!) so I can go home for lunch every single freaking day. This is what working in Brunei can do for you; if I were in KL, unless I want to use my whole salary to rent a nice apartment near KLCC, I can say goodbye to this.

What’s new with my life now? Other than enjoying Hilmy grow up by the day, I would say I have no life. My life pretty much revolves around going to work, get home, go to bed by 9 pm and wake up by 5.30 am. Then the cycle starts all over again. Oh yea, been to Miri a couple of times to do some shopping. Bintang Plaza is now a STAR I’m telling you. If you would’ve been here a year ago, it has been transformed. Now there’s Secret Recipe, Big Apple donuts, a cool new Parkson Grand (roughly slightly smaller than the one in Subang Parade), and other cool boutiques such as Sony and Levi’s.
Ah yes, DVD player is also back and running. Thank God! We’ve been waiting for a month for it to a point that I thought that we might end up buying a new one. Today I can start with my Bro & Sis season 3 marathon. I have another season of Grey’s Anatomy to watch and I wanna watch Desperate Housewives as well. Oh yea, not to mention I haven’t watch Transformer 2, Hawwy Potter and all other cool summer movies. Told you I have no life!

I’m excited to go back to Peninsular, one more month to go. I will touch down on the 16th. Can’t wait to see my sis and celebrate raya with her. It’s been a while. Now that Hilmy is bigger and easier to travel with, I can’t wait to burn some holes on my pocket… Hehehehe… Since I rarely go out, I managed to save some that HSBC called me up to give me new offers (I never get that!) hahahaha…
I am in need of a retail therapy…

On losing weight… I lost some. Now I can fit to one of my old jeans. Oklah, satu pon satu lah… I hope there’s more to come…
