Last minute shit

Packing/spring-clean? Unchecked. His new shoes & bottoms? Unchecked. New notes? Unchecked. Haircut? Unchecked for him and not gonna be checked for me. I can understand why some people don't like CNY. Because it seems there are so much to be done. But it can be fun isn't it? A valid reason to shop and for those who don't do that often, a time to stock up. No motivation at work and I hope it's just a phase. For the sake of money (not that I'm highly paid) and that amount of interest left, I will continue... Cleared all my debts (finally!), gave enough (hopefully) to those who deserve it and I'm seeing some figures in the bank again. Even got myself 2 new bags. Life is good. HK sale is great. 2 bags, 1 polo tee, 1 wallet from DKNY cost only less than S$120! Next thing to look forward to? Our new nest. It's said to be ready by August this year! And I can only pray it's true. Shopping for Mr. Grumpy later.

What's next?

CNY is approaching and I've long bought my clothes, all ready to welcome it. It was relatively easy compared to more than a decade ago when my size and my actual age are a mismatch and nothing seemed to fit - I hated shopping then. Alas, how things have changed since. I don't know about you but I've always loved this festive season because it's truly meant for us Chinese to celebrate it. Now, I just need to head to the bank to get new notes. So, after the madness at work and the travelling, I'm finally back to my big project and ideas are flowing in. Sadly, because I'm still the very last minute person that I've always been plus some other unforseen factors, the timeline needs to be adjusted. But trust me, I deliver when I want to and today it will be :) Stay tuned alright? We are going to have another happy occasion to look forward to and I'm really very happy for you! Heartiest congratulations once again. Both of you deserve each other so enjoy the jou...

Day 3 in HK - short update

2hrs meeting. Lunch. Press conference - saw Zhang Ai Jia & Yang Fan and some very fierce journalists. Another 2hrs meeting. HMV to check out a promotion. Hotel to TST via train. Madness at station. Tried to find the cafe HS brought me to on Tues but got lost. Walked around for another hour before settling for Ajisen. So duh right... Aijisen in HK. And back at HS' apartment now... Laters.

Day 2 in HK - short update

Presentations went better than expected. And tomorrow I'm moving from Causeway Bay to TST. Very tired today because this sleepless city influenced me to go to bed at 2am yesterday. I doubt I can do so today... early day tomorrow and a rather packed one. Good night. It's getting cold... I miss my Xiao Pang.

Jet setting again

Last Thursday to Sunday was in Penang and I can't say enough how glad I am that the event turned out better than expected except for some hiccups. Penang was a first for me and all the hype about their good food has once again, disappointed me greatly. Most of the food we had taste better in Singapore. Alright, I'm not starting the which-food-originate-from-where argument but I'm very well, I choose to believe, selective when it comes to food. I don't care where it is from as long as it's good. As much as it was fun, it was a tiring trip. I had my workout of the year - a 90mins trek at Jerejak Island, a very painful massage, tried Asam Laksa, Chendol and Char Kway Teow in an hour and got a little sick with food, Chinese hawker food to be exact. But meeting and making new friends made the trip worthwhile! And now, I'm FINALLY in Hong Kong for work. Thanks to Hazel who couldn't bear to leave her children for so many days, I finally reunited with HK. And yes, I...

2nd weekend of 2011

I have a big project on the way and it's definitely giving my 2011 something worth looking forward to. Until then, wish me luck and do show your support :) Saturday was well-spent. 4hrs of meeting. A birthday celebration at a lousy Jap restaurant at Central, followed by 7hrs of mahjong! Again, I forgot I'm no longer 18 and it takes a while to recover the lack of sleep. Was the biggest winner that night but spent it all on cab. Well, it's not really the money but the fun of pong-ing, chi-ing and hu-ing of course. Needless to say, I spent most of today snoozing and a couple of hours at NUH. Ray's nephew was hospitalised after vommitting for 4 days and no medicine or jabs could help. Speedy recovery ya! Feeling recharged for the busy week ahead - hope I don't say it too soon. Next few days are packed with meetings and the usual workload and then it's Penang. Not exactly looking forward but one should always be positive. My mum has been very bitter lately and I don...

About us being one

I just thought of something and feel a strong need to put it down to remind myself how ugly and bitchy human can be. To those who questioned if I was pregnant when I first shared my decision to get hitched with you, bite your freaking tongue now and slap yourself for having a foul mouth! Just because you have talked, have been talking and/or have been showing the obvious that you will get hitched doesn't mean I don't have such a plan. I don't need to prove to anyone but I'm telling you, yes YOU who have judged, I'm happy now. This is mean but at least I wasn't a fat/fleshy/chubby bride... roll eyes...

New Year?

I don't know why it doesn't feel new to me at all. Instead, it simply feels like it's an extension of last. I also don't know why I've been feeling emo lately. Like just going through the momentum of life. Maybe it's the PMS. Maybe it's the workload. Maybe it's... As much as I thought I'm not so noble to be affected that much, I guess I am. I don't understand why you always say you wish you can turn back time and change everything. What is it that you want to change? What is it that you can only change then but not now? If it can be changed then, can't it now? Suddenly I don't seem to care about a lot of things. You want to compete? Go ahead. You want to be a copycat? Be my guest/cat. You want to be biased? Just be la. You want to act like you're the busiest? Continue acting lo. Do you know I've stopped shopping for a month or so? (other than the 2 dresses I bought in KL) Do you know I've stopped taking cab? Yet, I'm feeli...

We are ONE!

Happy New Year and Happy 1st wedding anniversary to us :) We went back to Amara for lunch and can't help but wonder where did the past 365 days go to. Of course, we did a lot of things in between. He drove many different cars including one of his dream cars. He watched the World Cup LIVE. I would also like to think he has had a better life at work and it's going to be better! I think we have grown together as a couple and although we had our fights from time to time (who doesn't?), he makes me laugh a lot. Even though I always say he's the luckier one, I'm glad to have you in my life, XIAO PANG! Yes, he eats a lot and it's showing. Thank you everyone who were there a year ago to celebrate our joy but pls don't chase me for baby Yeo.... Not yet ok? To many years ahead :)
