My office had a retreat last Thursday on 1st Nov. Usually it is held only once a year, and we already had one in Feb but due to the restructuring and reshuffling of duties, the big boss decide to hold another one this year. It was not a 'fun' retreat like we usually had but this time it was a 'working' retreat. Very serious. Too serious till I got nothing to say cos I did not understand (what the hell was the whole thing about) anything. I am damn lucky my working group was smart and efficient, hee.
Anyway, halfway through everyone got bored and started to camwhore.

Last weekend, as my parents and maid went to Malaysia for a holiday, I was 'forced' to become a 'desperate housewife'. It is really hard work taking care of the two kiddos, the big kiddo (hubby) and basically doing the chores at home like any other stay-at-home mum (SAHM). I really have the highest respect for these women! How do they do it? I was ranting and screaming at my family at every little mess around the house. And the chores was never-ending, ironing, washing, bathing the kids, feeding the kids etc. It was only for 3 days but it was enough to confirm that I am not meant to be a SAHM. When my parents and maid came home, I practically kissed their feet, yup, that was how much I missed them (and their help *cough cough*) :)
Me and hubby brought Kyle to my colleague's son's 1st birthday on Sat. His name is also Akif! When he was born, I asked the father, Irfan, what is your son's name. When he said Akif, I was like, you got to be kidding, that's my son's name too! Haha, great minds think alike, eh Irfan?

Thanks for the invitation, Irfan and Sharinna. We enjoyed ourselves tremendously. I would have also gone down the slide also if not for my baju kurung!
Kyle could not stop eating your nuggets and sliding down the ball playpen. Hope Akif enjoyed his birthday and may he grow up a healthy and happy boy.
