our lives begin here

I've been lazy and too busy with work to update this blog of mine. And it's a little bit more difficult to do my updates at work since I'm just sitting in front of the editor who has a full view of my imac screen. But he's not in yet, so I better update pronto and as fast as I can!

For the past 3 days, I've been down with fellow colleagues selling our October issue at Caltex House. The weather was not that good but surprisingly we did quite well for the 3 days. Word has it that we sold over 300+ copies! Hurray! All the hard work didn't go to waste at all. Wasn't easy as well cos we have to put up with the rain and many chee-ko-pek uncles.



And back at home, Farihin is back in school since Monday. He's no longer fighting the pox and good thing it hasn't left much marks on his face and body. Yeah.

Farah so far hasn't shown any signs of getting the pox so I'm thankful. I realised that she's grown so fast turning 9 months in October. She has not sit on her own yet but put her in her walker..she zooms everywhere in the house.





And the pink hat that i bought for her recently...looks a bit like a serkop! Don't u think so? But I like it on her and the pink is so nice..

While everybody else have to deal with the bird flu, something happen closer to home, so close to me infact.....Farihin came down with chicken pox!

For the past 2 weeks or so each one of his classmates got it and I was hoping hard that he didn't catch it. But on last Tuesday evening he came back with a blister on his finger. At first I thought he hold a pencil too hard or touch some burning hot thing that caused the blister. But after he mentioned one more girl in his class had got chicken pox, that was it!

He's on mc from childcare centre until 25 September and is currently recovering well. All his pox came out by the 3rd day and each day he's covered with calamine lotion. He's been told to keep away from his baby sister but it's been hard cos she keeps going near him.

Brought home Tom n Jerry vcds, Shrek, The Grinch, whatever movies I have on vcd for him to watch while he's staying at my mum's home. He watched them all at one go and spend the rest of his time calling me on my mobile!

My cousin told me to monitor Farah within these 2 weeks. She might get it, she might not. I hope she won't cos I don't think it'll be easy. Meanwhile, I'll just have to wait and see...

And you know what? Farihin is a little bit worried that the spots on his face won't go away and he won't look handsome anymore. Hmmm...

What a mess has the FHM office become! All thanks to the moving we're doing this weekend. We all have one last day tomorrow to pack our stuff into the boxes and by 6pm everything have to be ready to go.

I'm stressed that most my things are still lingering around. Had spent the last 3 days clearing and throwing so many stuff but there seem to be still too many things to pack! Why like that? This is the 4th time I'm moving and it's certainly no joke. Not an easy task after settling down at my corner, seating comfortably for the last 3 years.

I snapped some pictures of the current state of our office before I left for home earlier. And damn, it's reminding me to continue packing tomorrow! Huaaaarrrrgggghhhh............


The editor's mess!


I'm gonna miss my secluded spot


Boxes containing files of images from my picture library(10 boxes in total!)


Art director's on leave tomorrow so he's finished his packing
From June 2003 issue, 16 FHM covers have been pasted up on our glory panel

As much as I can't wait for this to be all over and done with, I'm so not looking forward shifting to the new workstation on the 6th floor. Wish me luck, I so need it!

My younger brother celebrated his 21st birthday recently. What's a birthday without a cake isn't it? So being the nice sister I am, I bought him a small nutella cake.


Ta-da!


It's my birthday


Farihin looking on though he wants to be the one cutting the cake


Among the guests were my twin nieces, Nur Umairah & Nur Amirah
