Back to work after the holidays.......

X'mas came and went....and New year is just around the corner.....sigh....this is wat happens when 2 holidays are within the same week....no one is in the mood to work and it's the same for me....my boss is on leave for the whole week and he will only be back after new yr, the marcom mgr is on leave for 2 wks as she is in switzerland enjoying herself..lucky gal...and the rest of the staff are either on half day or no mood to work. So I wonder why didn't the company just let us go on leave for the whole week? Sigh......anyway, will be heading into Malaysia this weekend as need to do CNY shopping for lil princess...so will be back after the new year and doing my countdown there...it's kinda cool to get away from this countdown thingy....to me, the countdown is the same every where. But I really want is to go to NY Time's Square to do my countdown there coz from the past pictures that I've seen, it's really nice. Well, if everything goes well with my online business registration, maybe I can make my own wish come true next yr...

X'mas dinner.....I'm so stuffed!!!!!

Today is X'mas eve and I'm at mom's place having our X'mas dinner. This year, the dinner is special as she have ordered turkey. What a huge turkey!!!! So now, after stuffing my face with turkey, roast pork, lasagna, roast beef and other food, i can barely walk...so now just waiting for midnight to come as we are attending the midnight mass.....I'm just so sleepy now.....

It's just 2 more days to X'mas......

I'm at my mom's placed now...sigh.;..it's brings back the memories when I was still staying with them....thinking back to those carefree times when all I nd to worry was do i have enuff to go shopping and who will ask me out and what is mom gonna cook for dinner?? But now, I'm married, have my own place and got a kid and I'm trying to start a family tradition but it does not seem to work when i hv a hubby who does not know how to celebrate x'mas in a xmasy family way. I know that i can slowly teach him but honestly, when he is that cheena, it's quite diffcult to change his thinking. Even when we go to restaurant that serves western food, he will just order chicken and rice or potato. But after 2 yrs of marriage, I can see that he have change in his taste of food and is beginning to appericate good food....

Oh well, let's hope that this x'mas will be a good one, with no fights and arguments.

Merry X'mas!!!!

X'mas is coming....and it's time for new resolutions.....

X'mas is just round the corner and there is just so much to do. One, my housework is piled up high becoz of the weather. It was raining quite heavily on Mon and Tues, non-stop. Then on Wed, it stopped but started again on Thurs, but it was on and off. Two, I hv not done my X'mas shopping yet...well, technically, I hv bought some presents for my folks and the 2 monkeys at home but how abt my fav uncle who is coming tmr? Sigh....anyways, i will prob head down to robinson to pick up the mugs but on the thought of lugging a huge bag thru robinson and risk breaking stuff.......maybe i will 'eat snake' and leave the office early...... That is why I just don't like to shop nearer to X'mas as there are jsut too many ppl. Three, i was supposed to have a X'mas cum housewarming party this year but looks like it's a no go again. Wonder why is it just so diffcult for me to pack my house and invite ppl over? Oh yah...i forgot i have a recluse at home, who does not like to mingle around with strangers. That recluse is my hubby.

So I'm going make my new year's resolution, even though it's still too early. Well, here goes:

01) Shop early for X'mas 07.

Meaning, when it's sale time, it's time to buy present even though Xmas 07 is 12 mths away. Better be early than be late.

02) Lose weight. Plenty of weight.

But I love food, so how? I know, I will train like mad and eat like mad. This way, it's quite balance and the more I eat, the more fat I will feel and I will be motivated to train harder.

03) Try to be spend more time with my lil princess at home

As she is entering nursey next yr and will be learning more things. I don't want to regret not spending more time with her.

04) Die, die must get my driving license.

I have passed my basic and advance theory but looks like I need to retake my adv again...wonder if they will just let me take my PDL instead so I do not need to memorise the theory again....

05) To have ample savings in my account.

This is quite hard as i love to spend but when im at the risk of losing my job, i better start to save up and at the same time, find alternative source of income.

06) Clear all outstanding loans.

Wow, this is gonna be a tough one as my income is not even enuff to pay for everything. Which brings me to the next point.

07) Start my own online site for business.

I have already signed up for my free site but it's gonna expire in 27 days so I need to upgrade it before I lose this site and will be forced to pay a bigger amount for my domain. Hopefully when my pay comes in, I will be able to set aside the money for it.

Well, it's short but at least that's a start. I think I should print out my list and pin it somewhere so that I will be motivated to keep by it.

On the other note, i'm gonna miss the kids very much. All thanks to SC, who feels that hiring temps are much more expensive that hiring perm staff. Hello??!!! What were u thinking when u told them that they have to commit until Apr? She is like this 2 headed snake and seriously, if she feels that hiring temps are expensive, then she should not make me look for temps staff and just concentrate on perms instead. Both Aaron and Ling are so upset as they feel that she is taking them for a fool and think that just becoz they are teenagers, it dones not mean that she can treat them like s**t. I also feel upset for them as I know that working part time is not easy and you have to face ppl like her, who is only good for back stabbing and apple polishing.

Sigh, I don't know how long I will be here but if my online business takes off, who knows, I might just quit and enjoy life at home....so now the only things to wait for is my PC to be brought back from HP and set it up...I'm getting so excited just thinking of it...just another 30 more days to go.... :)

Another year older and wiser........

Surprisingly, I did not launch into a major argument with him yesterday...why is that so? Well, we were talking about settling a credit card bill and he wanted me to transfer money to him. As usual, i did not want to so he just flew off the handle and said that it's just so diffcult to get money from me. After he said that, I quietly told him that i was waiting for my bonus to come in next mth and will use them to clear the bill. And also since this is my debt, i have to be responsible for it and not rely on other people to help me clear the mess that I got myself into. After saying that, he agreed and said that this is the top most priority thing and it hv to be settled as soon as possible. So on the way back, I told him that I'm amazed at myself for not flaring up at him, which I normally do when it comes to finances. Why do I do that? Well, I feel that since I earn my own money, he have no right to tell me what to do with it. Even thought we are married, I still feel that he should be the one providing for the family as he is the man of the house. Unless we do not have any kids, then that's a different story. But now, we have princess and I feel that it's not fair of me to pay for everything when he is earning more than me. So by next year, he would have to pay all the expenses in the house and I will not be paying a single cent unless necessary.

X'mas is less than 12 days away......

X'mas is coming and I have not done any x'mas shopping yet...sigh even though my AWS is coming in this friday, the money will prob be used to pay my bills....sigh what did i get myself into? Anyway, I hv taken one day leave on friday to get a haircut.....my hair is like in a mess and it's abt time that I went to get a haircut......after that, i will hv to go down to change alley post office to collect my letters and at the same time, sign up for the internet service at hub centre @ OUB...starhub is giving away a free desktop and it took lots of persuasion to hubby for him to give the go-ahead.....after that, hv to go down to concourse to get my x'mas tree...still thinking if i shld realli get it as it's quite late....so im still thinking if i shld go ahead and do up the tree......

Oh well, on the other hand, lil princess is getting really naughty these day.....i know that now is the terrible 2s...but sometimes i feel that she is meant to get on my nerves......but at the end of the day, she is still my lil baby......

Happy birthday to me......

This morning, I'm really blessed to have my darling gal and hubby with me on my bday.....although the celebrations have not started yet, hearing my gal singing a birthday song to me is enuff for me to get thru the day....she is just so cute and hearing her singing in her baby voice is just so cute.....now im working and my temp staff gave me a surprise....a small choc muffin with a candle on it.....it's like a minature bday cake......sniff...sniff.....it's just so nice...and im going to cry soon.....anyway...tears aside, went out wz jasmine yesterday and she gave me a treat at balaclava...it's just so nice...two of us drinking and munching on finger food....then a guy wanted to share the table wz us and we said ok....he introduced himself as terence and wanted to buy us drinks, which we declined as that would mean we have to make small talk wz them and i was not in the mood to make small talk wz guys...besides, i just wanted to chill out and relax wz jasmine.....so after we had our drinks and food, it was time to head home....as we awalked out, jas told me that the guy was waiting for us to say bye to him....which i told her what for? if i wanted to be picked up by guys, why do i need to wait when i can do it there and then? Man....when u offer to share table wz thme, they expect something in return...so typical of them.....

Sometimes he can drive me up the wall........

I swear, I can kill him. The man whom I called my husband. It's seems that we just can't see eye to eye with each other. I just wonder why did i get married in the first when all I can do is to murder and hang him upside by his feet. I think his motive in marrying me is to drive me up the wall and once that's achieved, he will be very satisfied with himself. Sometimes I just wonder why did I marry such a stubborn, pig-headed man? But when I look at my wonderful baby gal (though she's no longer a baby), all my problems just go away and all the things that I do for her is very worth it. Including marrying that pig-headed man......

After the celebration.....

Have just celebrated ashley's bday on sat and man, was i tired!!! From picking up the cake to the bbq food and then doing the bbq, I never had a good rest. Not only that, ashley's was sick again...she had fever on friday and on sat morning, i ask dad to drop us off at tg pagar to see dr chua. after waiting for a while to see her, she gave her some medication to take and said that she is not to take any apple, oranges and grapes. After tat, took a cab to suntec and collected the cake, pies and bought somethings at carrefour before heading down to frankel ave to collect the bbq stuff then heading back to the chalet. From there, everything just went wrong. francis wanted to take his nap and i just got cheesed off coz he's suppose to be helping me but instead he just wanted to take his stupid nap....sigh, then ashley just started to scream for me when i asked marc to bring her upstairs for her nap....sometimes i just wondered why is his nap more important than his daughter...anyway, evening came and the party got into a full swing. my relatives came and ate and ate and ate...when it was time to cut the cake, everyone gathered round the table to eat. the party winded down shortly after 9 as everyone have left. started to clean up and by the time everything was done, it was 11 plus already. then we went upstairs to sleep and man, i was so shag by then. the moment my head touched the pillow it was dreamland all the way for me till the next morning.

I swear this wld be the last time that im going to organise a chalet again. it's just so tiring and it's realli zap up my energy level......
