Why I Love Bangsar Village

I am one of the many people who frequent Bangsar Village. I find the location convenient: its a 10/15 min drive from home, parking spots are generally easy to find, amenities are good - clean toilets, ATM machines, post office close by... , the supermarket stocks all that I want at pretty reasonable prices, along with the finer things in life which are not usually available at the hypermarkets, Caring Pharmacy always has a pharmacist on duty & they are friendly & helpful and there are lots of eateries, in the building & nearby that makes it all in all very nice.

More importantly, the staff that they work there are really nice people, always with a smile & helpful.

Last Thursday night though underscored all these reasons.

I was to meet some friends for buka puasa at BV2. As I drove into the car park, along with the many cars making their way there at that busy hour, I suddenly saw one of the staff (he was a local Chinese, a supervisor I guess) running to get my attention. As I wound down my window, he tells me that I have a flat.

They very quickly direct me into to the nearest empty space, and helps me to position my car. As I get out, he checks with me if I have a spare, then informs me to go ahead with my dinner. The car park staff will be available to assist me when I'm done he says, just alert the main desk if no one's around.

So I go have my lovely dinner. Nice food, good company etc.

At about 9, I make my way back to my car & there's one of the staff waiting nearby. He quickly gets a buddy & they get down to replacing my tyre. It was all done in 15 mins, with the damaged tyre put back in.

They really do make life easier!

To the management, staff & retailers at BV, I think you guys are doing a wonderful job - keep it up & I will spread the word about how good you guys are. Definitely my preferred shopping location!

2011-A New Year

It has been more than a year since I last wrote. 2010 was an amazing year for me and I was hardly ever online, much less taking the time to plan & write. But looking back at all that I have written before, I think that its good to put things down, so that I can remember what it was like, what I felt like and all other related stuff. So this year, I will make an effort to put things down in print. Think that this is gonna look like a rojak thingy - experiences, thoughts, ideas, plans, food journal & fitness diary (apparently fitness & weight loss goals are better achieved when one makes notes :-) So, today what have I done - its 12.13pm now Came in early this morning, cleared my emails then went for breakfast - had a 3-shot latte & a shepherd's pie - nice! Got back to the office & started work on the Employer of Choice slides. Met up with Audrey to discuss the EOC stuff & all other matters. Back to the slides. Now after lunch I need to focus on the PDR valida...

Same Old ...But New?

Driven to mental desperation, I find myself drawn again to putting my thoughts down in words. Thoughts translated to words and sentences have a way of: 1. Clearing one's thoughts, the re-reading and editing helps with the clarity 2. Putting things into perspective 3. Allowing one to re-visit one's thoughts Referring to item 3, going back to my earlier post 7-8  years ago, it does seem like nothing has changed very much - I am again feeling not-so-intelligent, inadequate as a parent, overwhelmed by life, unloved and alone. And yet, I have changed. I am well aware that there is a life very different from this. I know, based on feedback from varied sources, that: 1. I am intelligent 2. I am a good mom 3. I am in control of my life - having been through and survived several storms in the past 3-4 years 4. I am loved; maybe not in the way that I want to be but I am definitely loved, by many, for different reasons, and sometimes for not other reason than for being me ...

My Profile Pic

Needing something different to do during my lunch break today, I decided to change the look of my page & in doing so, reviewed my profile. I was scanning through my pics when this particular one caught my attention. This is a sculpture of Venus which I viewed at the British Museum in 2011. Why this picture? 1. The position of the figure - crouching as if hiding, with the arm protectively across, as if to ward off some harm. There are days where I want to hide, to protect myself from the world, constant demands being made of me, my inadequate self that cannot meet these demands 2. She's looking back I am more often than not caught up in the past - the should have, could have, why did or didn't I's 3. Most important, she seems ready to launch forward Where I usually am, wanting to move forward but still looking back & hiding from it all So, I want to move forward but I need to let go of my fears & my past ....
