Miserable..............................

hokays... did something to delete my beautiful Adriana in the background.

zzz... Will fix it as soon as I can.

A tiny break

Today was such a fun day! Both of us decided to keng take a breather from our busy lives and stay home.

So we did absolutely nothing productive. Haha.. No housework, except for the washing of plates (which i would have left alone if not for the possiblitly of ka kas in the house), at all.

We slept, ate, swam, slept, ate, watch Boston Legal, sleep.

Heh.. wish we could do that everyday.. and still get paid =/

I am one step closer to learning how to swim. Hate the bloody tan line tho. Wish I could tan naked! haha.. too bad..

It was really fun riding piggyback on dear through the bloody painful waterfalls. haha.. Lucky my husband is no tiny ah beng with no muscles (like a certain ex bf). That will really be quite sad...

Love you tons darling.. Thanks for humouring me and piggy back(ing?) me for so long -kisses-

Back to work tomorrow.. Hope everything goes smoothly -crosses fingers-

Crap

today was absolutely crap.

C R A P

Fund prices usually come in about 1+ pm, but lately our trustee will shoot one email saying "prices will be late". Today was horrifyingly disgustingly late. Today prices came at bloody 6pm! Usually I would have finished my work by then.

-.-

Hurried to send my USD class out and finally go my fx rate back. End up our system hanged and the lovely people over at LUXEMBORG are fixing the damn problem.

That = more time wasting.

*^$#%

Minus this incident, it would have been a lovely day. Not much calls, no adhoc requests. But noooo... due to the "lack of manpower", I had to sit in office and waste time.

argh..

and the best of it all, I could have been at home.

Was going to take an MC but my colleague beat me to it.

sigh........

Excuse me while i go kill someone.

me equals

Today is quite a good day for me.

1) Had single-handly sourced, liased and set up a meeting with a major service provider (who is bloody hard to contact) this coming wednesday. I mean not that its a big deal, but i did things on my own initiative so hopefully it puts me in good stead. I'll get attend the presentation with my big boss! woots.. That equals me = feeling important! hehehe.. My first meeting (which I dont have to explain anything) ever!

2) Managed to set up a totally new report in the system. Was asked to do the job even though I wasnt in charge of that particular fund so hence me = feeling good! heh..

1 + 2 = edge above my colleagues = better appraisal = better job prospects = promotion = senior officer = assistant manager = manager = head of section = head of department = director = obscene pay!! wahahahahaha....

-.-

3) Had a delicious meal ready for me once I reached home! Once I stepped into the house, I could already smell the yummy food. Its really shiok to have a meal prepared by your man. All you have to do is to eat! wahaha.. Dear had put in so much effort, even scalded himself =( He also cleaned and washed up every inch of the kitchen so as not to upset me. haha..

(not like the previous cooking experience with Mr Pang -.- haha... kidding)

Thanks dear for putting in the effort. I really love the food. me ish very happy.....

So 1 + 2 + 3 = Super good day for me = Happy me! = better sex for dear.. haha!!

Wishing and hoping

How I wish that I could make decisions without having to think too much of the consequences. I know thats part of growing up and taking on new responsibility but somtimes it just really takes the fun out of many simple things.

On another note, it really irks me when people undeserving (in my terms) get happiness. The selfish and conniving shouldnt really have good things coming to them so easily. Perhaps it is then that they can wake up their idea and stop being so pretentious and evil. Its really not very fair to those that work hard to achieve the good stuff but then again, reality is unfair to start with so perhaps I should stop complaining >.<

Today had lunch with an old friend at sushi tei.. The conversation was great but the Unagi Tempura was even better! lol... yummy.

Tmr i'm going back there. Having lunch with the tiko fund manager =/ He's so bloody persistent and asking me out for drinks. So agreed to lunch and roped in my super unwilling colleague. Gonna eat one times good one so he'll be scared off. wahaha...

Salmon belly sashimi here i come! heh...

$$$!!

wahaha.. shiokness.. Bonus time! Cant wait for the moolah to actually be in my account!

It isnt much.. but still.. Can be used to pay off quite a number of things that I have splurged on lately.. (not just for myself only kays..)

Almost didnt get to have bonus as I only joined in Sep. Cutoff was August.. Luckily the good people in my company decided to include me too, "in recognition of (my) good work and contribution".

wahaha.. Dunno real or fake. All the niceties said... wonder if they say it to everyone else.

At least it is personally signed off by the director of the company. Imagine if it wrote "This is a computer generated letter. No signature is needed." at the bottom...

-.-

My boss is really a very nice guy though..

Not nice as in I-want-to-have-sex-with-him nice, but more like the family man, humorous kind of man. He treats subordinates like equals and is genuinely concerned about our working environment. So... hope he doesnt leave anytime soon..

Looking forward to pay day! woots..!

-ANGRY!-

man... I'm so pissed with myself right now..

Today is finally the day I was determined to start on my have-adriana's-stomach regime. So i hurried back from work, chose my workout outfit, put some songs into my phone (which took forever), wore my socks, hurried to my shoe cabinet.........

to find out my sports shoes are STILL AT THE OLD PLACE!

sighs....

anyways, since I last blogged, so so much things has happened.

We got married.
We got a spanking new place.
I got a new and rather decent job.
My beloved grandfather-in-law passed on.
Hosted my first dinner with some dear friends.

All in the past 6 months..

Although the new place kinda left us rather broke, I'm really quite happy about it. It was tastefully done, and like dear said, whatever we lacked in funds, we made it up with our impeccable taste (or something along that line).

LOVE my carpet by the way.

The process was rather frustrating. All the calls from the contractors, designer, electrician, painters. The coordinating.. the meetups.. the clean ups.. the decisions.. zzz.. Luckily we wont be moving house anytime soon again.

Makes me wonder how preparations for my chinese wedding would be like tho. Ho-hum..

My job is ok I guess. Rather lucky to have gotten a job like that.. Lets just say my results are a true reflection of the amount of work i put in. Plus side is I have really nice colleagues and bosses.. not those that engage in too much backstabbings and what-nots. They are all nice people, esp my partner who has been really patient with me.

Getting confirmed soon so = payrise! woots! Altho its super duper extremely measly, almost to the point of not mentioning, at least its something.. I could have been working for a lot less right now, if I had taken up any of those crap jobs along the way.

Had our first mini-housewarming party on Sat. It was super last minute so I'm quite glad I didnt burn the house down or poison anyone.

I almost did tho. Tried to do a Jamie-Oliver side of vegs.. You know? A sprinkle of this, a dash of that. Squeeze in some lemon and just pop it into the oven to cook with something else. And viola~! Something that beautiful and delicious.

Everything was in order, except for the beautiful and delicious part =( Sian...

Luckily, everything else was quite yummy (imho). And there was great company.. so all in all it was a rather good event.

Thankfully...

This week will be great i guess. Short work week.. long weekend.. I have finished my monthly reports and hence that equals to slacking (discreetly) in the office. Friday will be our KCA gethering. Hopefully that will be as fun.. never a dull moment with those cousins of ours.. heh.. And pay day soon!

Must start saving money already.. ahem.. I mean not that i havent been.... But Phuket and Bangkok might be happening in June! Most probably our last trip there.. so must go there and live like kings and queens princesses! Really need the break man... Massages, shopping and puccini! Cant wait....

Time to go make dinner~ Hopefully my next post wont be in 6 months =)
