j. krish krishnamurti


This is my ex-boss, Mr. Krishnamurti, his wife Mrs. Krishnamurti and the latest addition to the family. Isn't she simply adorable. We have kept in touch even though it's been quite a number of years since he left Malaysia and the Krishnamurtis are now back in Toronto. Mr. Krishnamurti was a wonderful boss while both husband and wife were truly wonderful people with a beautiful heart. I continue to pray fro their well-being and wish them all that's beautiful in this life.

my work place

Our guest corner.

Another view of our guest corner. Of course we now have some lovely wall art.
This is the view from the guest corner. That door leads to the meeting room.

This is the main entrace to my office. Cosy ain't it ?
This is my "hole" within my office. That's my pet name for my workstation. I have no less that 10 sq.ft. of working space and that's a lot more than what a lot of others have. I have my own desktop and 3 printers ! Isn't that cool !!!

living alone

What can I say...I LOVE IT ! I don't mean to be insensitive. I love my family and do miss them all a whole lot. But the sense of freedom is overwhelming. Responsibility has new meaning to me now. In the past, I just needed to call home and I was sure that either my grandma, aunt or mom would be around. Living alone means that I have to make sure that the lights are all switched off, nothing left cooking on the stove, plants are watered (God only knows what a killer I am !) and wake-up for work less that "another 5 minute" excuse. I've learnt and am still learning. It's quiet at home but I've leant to appreciate the peace after a hard day at work. Thank goodness, I've made some really good friends at home. For those of you who don't know me, home to me is Armanee in Damansara Damai. My neighbour is a really lovely single mom. She's a Muslim lady with a 16 year old daughter. We get along famously and will often meet up just to chat or go out for that cup of coffee. She feeds me too ! Of course (when I do cook), I always make sure that I send something over to her. She loves soup cooked Chinese style ! Lately, I've thought about inviting my family overbut I'm just too damn lazy. Yeah....I'm that sort of daughter and niece. My mom always tells me, "Nobody will know even if I die !". Don't worry mom, I'm just a phone call away ! Ha Ha. You are all always in my thoughts and prayes even if I'm not with you in person.

neighbour's car stolen !

I am fuming. Not because it's my car but because it has happened too close to home. The car belongs to my neighbour. It's a car that both husband and wife have spent so much on; not just money but time and they simply adore the car. Having had 2 cars stolen myself, I know how it feels like. I could detach myself from the car itself but but not the feeling of loss. And to make matters worse, my neighbour has not been accorded any courtesy by the condo management where we live. They have been doing nothing less than taking her around in circles and being assholes and jerks for that matter.

There was a reason why we chose to live in a condo instead of a landed property. We expect security and we expect to be safe and to be able to have a good night's rest. We have been diligently paying our monthly maintenance fees and this includes security services (or does it now) ???

Fingers are pointing in all directions now. Every direction but the correct one ! Where is the accountability, responsibility and where is the security promised to us ?

How can a car be driven out from a secured premise ? What were the guards doing ? Let it be known that we have an access card system in place and my neighbour's card was not in the car !

This is what I have to say....BURGESS RAWSON GET OUT OF ARMANEE. YOU ARE A USELESS LOT !!!
