Rested?

Was finally able to sleep longer hours, even took a nap just now, but still don't feel that recharged. Perhaps it's age, I used to be able to "recover" faster from working late, long hours when I was younger.

It has been a really busy week, long hours, lack of sleep... I was so longing for a break but now that it's over, I wish I am busy all the time because I'm worry that I might feel insecure or a bit lost when there's nothing to do at work. Such contradiction. Anyways, I don't think there's ever going to be time when I've got nothing to do in this job actually.

Two of my colleagues had left the company, their last day was last Friday. I've also heard that another colleague of mine in the branch office just tendered his resignation as well. I wonder if all of them have better offer, or just cannot take the pressure and "abuse". I know one of them resigned because he's not happy with how he's being treated. I'm also very tired, not because of work matter but because of the energy required for dealing with certain people. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I like the job a lot and I think it's a really good learning field for me.

What I need now is to have some long, good chat sessions with my dear friends. I feel that I've not been in touch with the "world" during the pass few weeks. Went to shopping with MC yesterday and today, she's leaving for Japan for a week tomorrow, humphh... will miss her again.

We were at Mid Valley Mega Mall on Saturday (after BB at LM with Hobbes), had lunch at little Penang. Delicious. I had prawn meehoon, but love the chilli that comes with the curry laksa. Went to Coffee Bean at Garden because we thought we had too much of Starbucks. Big mistake. Coffee Bean was bad, or was it only that particular outlet - the ice latte we ordered was "diluted"; the carrot cake, used to be my favorite, was hard and tasted funny. It was really unbearable till I actually rejected it and went to have it exchanged. I actually asked the staff whether the cakes were fresh. Without actually answering me, he offered for a replacement. I chose the blueberry mousse cheesecake, which I'd tried before and thought it's quite nice. Just when I thought that it couldn't go wrong... it tasted stale and, well, not fresh. Humphh... Must ask MB if the ones sold at KLCC are still of their usual high standard or not, or could it be the overall standard drop?

At night, we watched Nim's Island last night, it was okay, not that exciting, and I thought the story line was quite lame, not much substance. But I enjoyed the outing with MC and BIL. Needed to relax and take my mind off work.

Today, we went to Jusco at Klang, very huge with some unique boutiques which I thought I could put them on my regular purchase point. Bought a little jacket and a dress - which I will be wearing with a long pants. Fashion change still on-going for me, but I seriously need some extra funding. Still waiting to see if I will be getting my salary increment, which is supposed to be in April. I think. I hope.

Wanted to load the "lamb" birthday cake, but either the camera was not function well, or there was some connection error. So, can't post the pictures still. Maybe next few days.
