Thank you Hubby!

Hubby got me my Valentine's Day present...a Swatch watch. Well, technically, he gave me the money to go and buy the watch. I have chose a very simple and nice design. But I was really lost for choice as I also liked this other design. No worries, I will go and get the other design by myself, hopefully by next month.

Not a good start......

Today is the 3rd day of the CNY and lil princess fell sick. She had a high fever yesterday of 38.5 and the whole night I was making sure that the fever does not go up to 39, if not,I would have to send her to the hospital immediately. This morning, when she got up, her fever did not subside, so I was keeping my fingers crossed that the clinics are open. Alas, it was not the case. Both my family doctor and the paediatrics clinics are not open. So I had to go down to the pharmacy to get over the counter medication. I'm so worried that her fever will continue to climb as she has vomited out the medication that I've fed her. Looks like it's going to be another sleepless night again.

The lunar new year is just less than 4 days away and I have yet to do up the study room. Well, the study table and cupboard are here in the room, but it's still a bit bare. Need to add the finishing touches quickly before the new year. Yikes!!

Anyway, I'm hoping that this would be a good year for me, money and career wise. Although I'm still thinking about the other job offer....sigh, sometimes when a person is just too comfortable in his/her comfort zone, it's quite tiring to start all over again. So I guess I will give it another thought and see how after the new year. On another note, I have finally join a gym. This shows that I'm really serious in losing weight and getting healthy. But hopefully I will be motivated to go, if not it would be money wasted.....

New Study Room....

My new workstation is going to come in tomorrow.....Yipee! Now that the last room is complete, I will be having an open house on the 10th day of Chinese New Year, which is on 16th Feb. I have invited my colleagues and we are going to have a blast of a time. But not sure if I should cook and what to cook...maybe chicken curry, deep fried wanton, pasta? Guess I will leave it up to them as I also have included a potluck option.

Anyway, pictures of my very empty study room:-





I will post the done up study room soon.

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!!
