My first day at the job? Why, thank you for asking. Two words: mentally exhausting.
I enjoyed myself, meeting everyone and everything, but by the time the clock struck 3, my brain wanted to switch itself off. Unfortunately, I needed it to walk to the elevator and get myself to the car. I needed it for the rest of the day, actually. LOL.
It wasn’t so much the workload, since I haven’t even been given work yet, but it was more of.. information overload. It was like I forgot how to breathe during the times I was briefed. LOL.
After work, my mom, my sister, and I went to Lambak to drop off some containers and Raya orders for my mom’s colleague. I tried so hard not to sleep because I was driving back from Lambak to our house. Then we had to stop at a store to buy some ginger for today’s sungkai.
Back home, I resisted sleep as well. I actually just want to fix my body clock because in the months I was unemployed — full time, if there’s such a thing — I had really late nights, sometimes I don’t even sleep. I have lie-ins practically everyday. So I’m fixing that darn clock. Because it’s about time I go for a more structured, routine life. Rather than just sleep.
My mom reckons that I’m going to lose weight simply because I am reducing my slumber time. :evil:
So, to stop myself from dozing off, I baked my family chocolate shortbread. It was fantabulous, if I do say so myself. I loved it, my mom loved it, my maid loved it, but my sister said she did better. (She baked it along with four of our cousins when I was working on-air a few days ago.) But I think it was really good since my mom doesn’t usually like cake-like things, especially sweet ones.
The chocolate shortbread tasted like brownies, though, but less sticky. And I think that’s one of the factors that made it good. I have a picture, with icing sugar on top. (Haven’t got a good picture, though, so bear with me. Please, and thank you. :))
It had the easiest ingredients, and minimum preparation time I’ve ever done in my entire baking life (that’s about two years.)
After making those babies, I had to make tiny spring rolls for more Raya orders. Seriously. I have to get used to this lifestyle or I’ll drop dead by the time I hit 25. And that’s in less than 3 years’ time!
Before I doze off for a wee bit, here are comment replies and shout box replies.
Comments:
- Izzah, thanks sweety! Apparently, I have an abundance of luck. I just forgot to upgrade brain capacity. Hehe.
- War, thank you! I like it a lot too. I was looking for pink layouts, because I’m going pink for October, to support breast cancer research. I just didn’t have time to blog about it. Hehe. My first day? Well.. I said more than enough. Hehe.
- Sha, yes, in my IE, the layout looks fine too. But in older versions, a fraction of the main content gets covered by the left sidebar. And it looks really weird, and can’t really read properly. I thought the smilies were downright charming, weren’t they? Can’t help falling in love with those things. Hehe. Oh, I’m sure there are reruns of Lake House sometime soon.
