Wednesday, June 28, 2006 I'm officially 29!! Nothing to be proud of.....kinda scary in fact. But I tell myself, I must age with grace! haha.Had a simple celebration with Michael on Monday (who managed to get his guy to go Shanghai instead). Well, he's in Germany now till Sunday. Dunno why but time seems to pass by so slowly when he's not around...hehee. Received a couple birthday wishes, some were a surprised cuz I didn't expected them to send me any BD greetings. But it was nice. Bought 4D last Sun (to try my BD luck) and nearly 'tio' the Starter prize of $2,500. Missed by one number! Bought 3134 but come out 3144!!! ARGH. I never had luck with such things...never won anything in my life before. Well, only once....in a CLEO Magazine contest many years back when I won a small Davidoff hamper. I am not greedy, win small small I also happy liao. *grin* Monday, June 19, 2006 ARGH!! Just when I thought plans are going well. Michael has to go to Shanghai for business this Thursday!! I feel like I'm in a roller-coaster ride. One moment, I'm feeling high & happy, the next...low & sad.I want to SCREAM!!! (p/s sorry getting abit emo here. Must be the cramps). I'm so happy Michael's Germany trip has been postponed to July, which means he can celebrate my BD with me on June 26! Yea Yea!! Anyhow, I have already gotten my BD gift from him. Went window-shopping for a MP3 player and ended up buying a sleek black colored iriver 6GB Mp3 player. Enough to last me for 32 hours.....and guess since I'll be going France end of the year taking KLM, which has no in-flight entertainment, this seems like a 'saviour' to kill my boredom. Co-celebrated my BD with 2 sets of good friends (who by the way shares the same birthday of 20 June) last week. As one gets older, birthdays are no longer weighed around the gifts you received but for the pure contentment & enjoyment of celebrating it with the people you love. Finally, my mom's visa has been approved to go over France for 6 months which is a relief cuz it has given me lotsa headaches. And luckily there're still flights available when I booked it last week (though much much more expensive), given that my mom & bro will be flying in 3 weeks' time. So my mom will not be in Singapore for the next 5mths or so.....and it's my turn to be independent. But now I have another headache. Michael's BD coming up in July & I'm already fretting over what to buy. He seems to have everything already and the gifts he used to receive were kinda expensive.....and me, being the poor ol' me needs to think hard what to buy within my budget. I know we cannot compare & measure love by the amount or the gifts we get, but I want the 1st gift to be special & meaningful. Sometimes, I find it hard to buy gifts for guys. Anyone has any suggestions? Sunday, June 11, 2006 Worked till 1am yesterday for the late night shopping. Was hoping it wouldn't be that of a madness considering England was playing Paraguay at 9pm.But holy cow! There're still many insomniacs out there who don't give a hoot about soccer and comes out at night to 'terrorise' the mall...haha. There were lucky draw and tote bags redemption and to think there is a syndicate who goes around asking other shoppers for receipts so that they can accumulate & make the redemption! I am wondering what are these people thinking!! Hello..it's just a Made-In-China $3 bag....why so hard up?! Geez. Anyway, I guess there are really all kinds of people out there in the world. June...my birthday month but I don't know why but somehow I don't feel that excitement. Maybe cuz I would be turning 29 (oh my goodness!) and cuz Michael will be away for 2 weeks to Germany on a business trip during my birthday! So I'll be celebrating my actual birthday, which happens to fall on a Monday, alone perhaps with my mom. Luckily, I'll be having BD gathering with a couple of my friends the week before. I'd be lying if I said I am not upset or disappointed. Of course I am! Afterall, this is my 1st birthday with him. But then, I guess it's just a birthday.....(hmm, the upset alter-ego is speaking here). Guess girls being girls, we view such occasion very importantly. But I guess, I'd have to start getting used to it. Monday, June 05, 2006 Has been getting kinda demoralised at work lately.My best friend in the office is resigning as she's thinking of changing line to be an insurance agent. And then my other lunch kaki (which also happens to be my best friend's boyfriend) has resigned as he has a job offer. And the company is offering him a pay increment of about 70%!! Which means in future, I would have to lunch alone and no more kaki to bitch about my boss, work & customers! BooHOOoo!! I also found out another of my friend has resigned from her current post and will be joining another company which is also paying her much much more than her current salary! About 25% increased! Sometimes, I think it's luck & opportunity. And of course, capability. It dawns on me that I'm lagging way behind my peers in terms of career. But then I'm not one who's into the materialism nor have the desire to chase after power & money. But yet of late, I have the urge to get a higher paying job. Maybe cuz I really have to think of the future if I am intending to get married & have a family of my own. Money is such an evil thing but yet, it can do wonders. |
