Random musings

1. 1. A fellow PTD died, and everybody is shifting blame. Some are blaming the deceased for not being able to differentiate a common flu and influenza-type flu. Some are blaming the PASKAU for the rigorous training method. Some even blamed the clinic that said the deceased only suffers from normal fever. Some blamed the administration of the course programme for letting this situation get out of hand. Some are wondering the relevance of this type of training for a public service officer who is not going to require this level of stamina and fitness to fulfill their everyday routine. And I? I wondered whether the people involved in this whole thing are even bothered by her death? Did they go to the funeral? Did they console and express their remorse to the family?
   
   
2. 2. In Mac 2009, I was elated when I found out that I was pregnant. I was always somewhat reckless and a bit clumsy at times and I tried my best to live a healthier lifestyle because I am now responsible for two lives. I was never the one who eat my vitamins everyday, nor did I do all the light exercise or the suggested good things to do when you are pregnant. I just keep tabs of the baby. I can't proclaim to know much, but I do know this : Active baby is good thing. Must remember to make sure that baby is moving at least once every two hours. If baby is idle, I will eat, take a bath, start to talk, exercise with hubby ;) until the baby reacts. (And yes, in that order ;))
   
   
3. 3. My hubby and I are ready to have our second child. In fact, we've been ready for two months now, but my aunty still visits, complete with her truckload of emotional baggage and stomach cramps! Heh. I know its been only two months but we need baby NOW! I miss holding a newborn and I would very much prefer a baby now so that when it comes Ramadhan, I am out of the dreaded first trimester. (I have awful morning sickness that last all day).
   
   
4. 4. I am impressed with my fellow friends who have been doing so well in their respective agencies. I feel a tinge of pride when my fellow batchmate receive glowing recommendation from their bosses. In retrospect, I am also somewhat ashamed and disgusted by some that are blatantly misusing their power and influence. We are supposed to work for the greater good, no?
   
   
5. 5. I have a weakness for books. I can never put down a book, once I started reading it. My hubby once gave me the Harry Potter : The Deathly Hallows when I was heavily pregnant at 8 months. He gave me the book at midnight and although I know that I won't be able to stop reading once I started, I also could not sleep knowing that the book is silently calling out to me. So, I give in and spent the whole night awake reading the book. Recently my sister bought the Cecilia Ahern "Thanks for the memories" book. And whaddayaknow....I fell asleep reading it! That was a first! I find myself skimming the pages, just reading without any invested feelings. Ngeeee....I think I'm getting old
   
   
6. 6. My ability to memorize is better than my capability to comprehend. It has work to my benefit so far, when I'm not sure of anything, I'll just recite whatever it is I remember from my conversation with others. BUT, as I slowly creeps into the dreaded three-oh, I find both my skills to memorize and to understand, is going down the drains :(
   
   
7. 7. I have four meeting minutes that I am supposed to finish...umm....yesterday? Heee....
