Happy New Year!!!!

Well, today is the first day of the new year and it was okay. I guess that's because I'm growing old or because I'm married and have a kid, that's why the new year is not really fantastic. But nevertheless, looking back at 2007, it was really an up and down year for me. Well, mostly down becoz it made me open my eyes to a friendship, which I thought was worth it but at the end of day is not. Not only that, it has also taught me to be more wary of other people who claim be the very best of friend but when at a crucial moment, they just bail out like rats. But there was also some ups, like having a mini windfall in TOTO, which was like so unbelievable, as I have never won anything before. And also got to make new friends and colleagues. So all in all, it was quite an okay year on 2007.

As for resolutions, there is only one this year and it's to lose weight and get back in shape. So my hubby suggested that I draw up a contract to set a target on how much weight to lose and also how long. Dunno where he got this idea but it may be worth a try. We'll see if at the end of the year I will lose those post pregnancy pounds..... :)

Merry X'mas everyone.....

It's that time of the year to be jolly and indulge in merry making. But for me, it was the time to spend it with my family. But that was not to be. Coz on X'mas eve, I had a big fight with hubby over the study room. Well, technically it was not the study room per se but more like he not paying attention to what I was saying and jumping to conclusions, which will lead to an argument when he opens his mouth to say something that is just so irrelevant, Then after the argument, which I was in a fit of anger, decided to pack the study room. And after doing that, it just felt so good to direct all my anger there. The room is partially cleared as I have to make space for the tables first and after it's been put up, I will then decorate the room. Pictures of the room below:

(Stuff that was shifted to one corner of the room to make space for the table)

(This is where the computer table is going to be)

So for the past few weeks was really busy. The Phuket trip was quite ok as we got to know each other better and we had fun. Then it was the X'mas party on last Wed, which we each had out own secret santa. We wrote down what we wanted and our secret santa will buy it for us. After which, we went for seafood dinner, which was also like a farewell dinner for Cass as it was her last day and from there we proceeded to St James' Boiler Room for drinks and some dancing.Then the next day, Thurs, I went over to Cass's place for lunch and she really have a lovely place. It's just so serene and back to nature. If ever that place is for sale, I will be the first one to buy it. So this whole week, the whole office will be closed for the holidays and I will have to use this time to pack my study room. Not only that, I will be spending time with my lil princess.

24 more days to X'mas.....

24 more days to X'mas and soon after it's going be 2008. Time have passed so fast and it's going to be the time to look back, reflect and decide on what needs to be done in the new year.

For me, it has been a really busy time. Sports & Fitness Expo have ended almost a month ago and after that, there was that upcoming Phuket trip as to go for the boat show, PIMEX, which my boss have interest in buying over the show. Oh well, that is going to be so fun as I will get to know my colleagues better.

Here's wishing everyone who visits this blog a Merry X'mas and a Happy New Year!!

New Company, New Start???

It's been almost 3 weeks since we have been bought over......how do i feel? Well, there are good and bad. The good is that the changes are very good for the company as with a new boss, comes new direction and fresh perspective that is very much needed. But the bad is, my AD has become the DOS and it totally puts me off. I thought she would have leadership skills but it seems that she is so much a follower, not a leader. For the past few months, the whole office environment was very tensed as she is trying to pit us against each other. When we have finally realize what she is up to, all of us was very disgusted by her. Especially me. I just can't how can a person become so money minded. Not only that, she can really be so mean and sabotage people just to get ahead to where she is. Does it really matter??? In my opinion, I feel it does not as it will only show people how ruthless you are to get ahead in life and at the end of the day suffer all the retribution. Yes, she may want to prove that she can work and manage the house at the same time, but not at the expense of neglecting her child. I believe in providing a balance environment and if it means giving up the job when the child needs the mum most, she will not hesitate to do it. No matter how much money can buy, it can't buy back their growing years and it's no point regretting it 10, 20 years down the road. So the point is, would the job be worth it to miss out on her child's growing years? That would be for her to find out and I hope that it would not be too late by then.

Changes.......

It has been a busy 2 weeks and there are changes...first up, my company was bought over and now I have a new boss.....it was announced last Thursday and he seems like a nice guy...well only time can tell....second thing, I may consider resigning from my job as I feel that I have neglected lil princess. But the thing is, I'm so used to earning my own keep that now to depend on my hubby, is, well, kind of scary. I would have to seriously think this thru. Hopefully I can make up my mind soon.....

Anyway, I'm heading into M'sia this weekend with my folks, my brother, Mel and lil princess. Going there to pay my respects to grandma, great grandpa & grandma and grandaunt. It's been like ages since I have last been to a cemetery and from what Dad told me, grandma have got a new tombstone. So going there to check it out and at the same time, to pig out also!!! :) Will be back on Monday, hopefully in the morning as I have got a parent-teacher conference with lil princess's teacher....sigh.....being a parent now is not easy at all....I just wonder how my parents manage to stay sane with the 3 of us.......

Fun day @ Sentosa....got BURNT!!!!!

It's a fun day today....as I went down to Sentosa with Merissa and my lil princess. First, we had breakfast @ Coffee Bean, after that, we went to board the train into Sentosa. Upon reaching the beach station, we made our way to Palawan beach. We then headed to the changing room to change and bought some drinks & an inflatable ball for Ashley (thanks babe!!!). When we found a spot to put our things, Ash headed straight for the sand. She was really enjoying herself, playing with the sand and throwing the ball to Merissa & me. It did drizzle for a while but it went away. Then we had a break, munching on carrots & cucumber sticks, lettuce, turkey breast, mashed potato and corn nibblets. After eating, we rested for a while before heading to the changing room to get cleaned. We left the place around 2+ and it seems that the crowd was coming in. Luckily, we decided to come in early, if not, we would be fighting for space. Ashley have really enjoyed herself that she fell asleep on the way back. But unfortunately for me, I got very sun burnt as I did not apply sunblock lotion...so now I look like a roasted pig!!!! :) Overall, it was really good to have spend time with my galfren & my daughter. i really hope to do it again, but the next time, I will remember to apply the sunblock lotion so that I will not be burnt again.

Rainy Monday.......

It's a rainy Monday and the weather is just right to sleep in....unfortunately, I've got to work so there was no chance for me to stay at home and remain in my comfortable bed. It seems that work is really quite dreadful recently as my boss, well, honestly speaking, have gone loco. Yes, LOCO, as in bonkers, cuckoo and all other things that associated with loco. We do not know if the stress is getting to her or she just can't be bothered and decided to create a pasar malam event....sigh, even my dive project manager is on the verge of quitting soon....if my boss don't take a step back and look at the bigger picture, she is going to lose all the staff support and respect....

Anyway, I'm looking forward to this weekend where I can bring lil princess to Sentosa with my good friend, Merissa. It would be a good mummy-daughter bonding time and also a good girlfriend gossip session.....Will try to take some pictures at the beach with the small one but don't think I will be in it as I will look like a beached whale in my swimming costume :) so only 4 more days to go!!!!
