Changes-for better or worse?

29 March 2008
It's been several months since I last blogged! Time sure flies! "Hangat-hangat tahi ayam" I was addicted to blogging initially and then the novelty of it wore off and of course I'd discovered Facebook too-which made it so much easier to add pics on-line :)



I'd applied for a transfer from Diamond Bay, Perak back to KL in Nov last year and lo and behold I'd gotten a reply 3 months later. For your info, (for those non-civil servants out there) this was considered pretty fast. This is of course including the numerous phonecalls and faxes I'd to make in oprder to ensure my transfer form had arrived by fax from Ipoh to Putrajaya which took 2 months to settle!



So, here I am back in KL since early March. It has been and still is a 'culture shock' for me as I've been working in a small town for almost 5 years and walking to work took me only 5 minutes (driving was even slower!). So when I started work- I realised I'd to wake up latest by 6.30 am and leave the house no latest by 7.15am in order to reach work by 8am. This is considered fast thanks to the new KL-Putrajaya highway which costs only RM1.50 :) . . Fortunately for me I've been chauffeured to and from work by my hubby and dad as my new car has yet to arrive. Even then, I get so stressed up just seeing all that jam around me. I've even started to mentally swear at those inconsiderate drivers especially those who tail-gate you and those who just simply cut in and out in front of you! Sigh! By the time I get home it's almost 8pm and after dinner and a nice bath it's time to sleep and get enough rest for the next day!

I have just bought my 1st asset- yup you guessed it- a car...Nah- don't think I can bear the thought of my hubby or dad chaffeuring me around. . . What car did I buy? well, you'll have to wait for me to post a pic of it :p unless you see me on the road! Petrol is expensive. A full tank costs around RM55. Yeah- my car is small. And a bowl of noodles now cost RM4! This is in my housing area... Our pay has risen only a little yet the inflation is so much more. Looks like I can never afford to buy my own place. Still looking and looking and looking but it's either not in a good location or leasehold or too old or ........
