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 =)

Last Day as a Miss

Yup.. that day has finally arrived! Today is the day i get married! I've only had 6 hrs of beauty sleep today... not cos i dont want to.. but cos i cant.

I'm so anxious that I feel like i'm going to puke. But this is good anxiety.. Like those that you have when u are about to go on stage and receive a award in front of the nation...

So far so good... Just cant breathe too well.. haha. Hopefully the skies will be clear and it be windy and cooling and not too sunny and....... nvm... Just dont rain can le =)

Regrettably, some people cant make it to our wedding but i am looking forward to meeting all the people I havent seen in a while.

Gosh... I really feel like puking... I just wish I can go back to bed now and just sleep it off.

Today will be the day I become a Mrs Sia.. something that i have dreamt about for a long long time. I cant wait to make the promise to my dear, to cherish him and love him till death do us part.

Kisses...

YES~!!!!

At 240 am, on our 83rd mth anniversary, my dearest darling finally proposed to me~! Yes yes.. At last..! It was such a crime to keep such a beautiful thing in the drawers. heh..

I thought he was kidding at first! We were lying in a pitch black room, talking nonsense and what lies ahead of us in the future, with Buble playing at the background. It just seemed like a normal night. haha.. Till he suddenly got all serious and asked me if I would let him take care of me for the rest of my life..

*awwww.....*

There wasnt any of the on-1-knee-at-a-restaurant proposal, but this was so much sweeter and more intimate! I felt soo so happy and blessed when he held me in his arms. Also saves me (and him!) from any embarassment. haha..

Of course I said Yes.. Was tearing like hell and my nose watering unglamorously. And he slipped the ring into my finger.. It was such a special moment =)

*sighs happily*

I love you so much darling. Thanx for wanting to put up with my nonsense for the rest of your life. kisses..
