Home early

On the train now. Left early because we're entitled for a 2-hour free leave per month. It's been a mentally exhausting back-to-back week (mentally only because I think my body can still handle this) with Idris hospitalised for 5-days (will write about this later) and my colleague (probably the only reliable one around) has decided to leave and her last day is tomorrow. :(

Here's what I'm asking from the universe: please grant me a better job in January 2018. Third time's the charm eh?

Musin

Here’s the deal with my job, or working in general.

I think I may have lost the passion to work. There I’ve said it. I’m not sure how this came about – maybe because things are not so peachy at work right now (long story short, boss is on a questionable “extended block leave” and I may need to change portfolio soon and I’m not sure how long I can hold on). I’m always ready for new things, new adventures but not right now. Probably not ever.

Life begins at 40, but does career ends at 40 too?

Now that’s a scary thought. 

Day off

Took the day off to watch Emre's taekwondo grading today. Hectic day, from chauffeuring the kids to making meals and by 3pm I was exhausted. Promised the youngest that I'll wake up at 4pm but when i woke up it was already 5pm hee hee.

Oiso Utropolis

I swear to god shopping malls in selangor and KL are popping up like nobody's business. But Malaysians spending power is an enigma to me. Why are they so rich? And why am I so poor?

Anyways, last night we had dinner at Oiso, Utropolis (yup you heard that right) in Glenmarie. It's one of those new high-rise apartments and suites with makan places area (oh KDU is also nearby) so there's nothing much there yet. Except for a 'sikit atas' Mydin, clearly replicating Jaya Grocer.

Oiso is one of the go-to Korean restaurant. Dubu-yo and Mr Dakgalbi are convenient for the K-cravings but Oiso will not disappoint when it comes to Korean food. I sorely miss Bulgogi Brothers though. Ever since they closed down I've not found anything similar. Blah. 

This pajeon may look plain but it's so gooooood!

Chicken BBQ forever!

My kids had a taste of the chicken and I'm glad they enjoyed it (because I actually made them bihun goreng before coming over!). 

Perhaps a trip to Seoul next year is due. I don't know yet. Money is tight and I'm hoping 2018 will be a better year for me. 

We built this city

This city is making me melancholy lately. But then again, I'm starting to love working in this part of the city. The hustle and bustle of the city can either humble you, or make you want to pull your hair out.

I'm going with the former for now.
