Good Morning!

As i begun today lethargically at the office (it's always tough to trudge back to office after a long weekend...), and i settled down with a nice cup of freshly brewed folgers colombian and scrolled through my emails.
  1. e-moo ads - see if there's anything interesting to buy at the online second-hand marketplace. result: zilch. deleted.
  2. replied to susan from CAAS HR. she wants to send me a letter regarding bonuses. gosh, that letter would take a month to reach me. but anyway, i suspect it ain't urgent, and probably just details the fact that i won't get any bonuses. duh. so i replied her with my bermuda address and asked her what's to become of my fate when i return in Apr 09 and the company has already privatised. expected results: no bonus, no miraculous end to bond and bond repayment and no answer to all my questions. (i'm guessing susan will forward my email to the whole world before sending a reply)
  3. jobsDB's email alert. result: zilch. this website stinks. deleted.
  4. carmen's email. result: lunch appointment made for today. happy news for once. deleted.
  5. sent out a bunch of reminder emails for upcoming conference. i'm doing the RSVPs - keeps me busy. result: feeling slightly accomplished.
  6. then sent out more emails to those who'd responded regarding payments for the conference. result: feeling even more accomplished.
  7. logged onto power98 online radio for some music. result: head bopping.
  8. logged onto meebo for some online chat. result: eye-popping madness having to switch screens constantly.

blah blah... and the rubbish of work rolled on in...

Happy working everyone!

Back To Reality

It's over! We're finally married (in the eyes of the Church!). It was really pretty fun last sat, thank God for the sunny weather (a bit hot lah, but at least it didn't rain till after), for the wonderful guests and my fantastic friends. hope it wasn't too uncomfortable under the sun for everyone.

Back Safe and Sound

This is my first post since we left Bermuda for Singapore more than 3 weeks ago. We are battling serious jet lag this time. it might be the age-factor (yikes!) or because we didn't rest properly on the flights (yes plural!) back cos we were busy trying to exhaust all the new movies on krisworld, or maybe a combination of both lah. but both of us have been trying very hard to keep awake at 3pm. yes, the sleep monster strikes at that hour! thank God we are going to remove time saving tonight, so we have 1 less hour to correct this weekend. talking about movies, twilight was amazingly easy on the eye! although i hesitate to call ourselves twilight converts given that i was highly skeptical at first. but the eye candy in the form of Rob Pattersin/Edward Cullen is really irresistible (did you know Rob Pattersin was Cedric in Harry Potter??) .... argh. i wanna get bitten by this vamp too lor! BITE ME! Hao-e even bought New Moon (the sequal) to read this weekend and i spent almost ...

IT JUST DOESN'T FEEL LIKE CHINESE NEW YEAR!

As I learn about everyone's plans to welcome the Golden Tiger Year, the more unhappy I become.  Although it was a conscious effort on our part to avoid being home for the Lunar New Year, I cannot help but feel left out during this all-important holiday. On this island, we have all but 1 so-called Chinese restaurant.  Every year, they would put up the red banner a few weeks before CNY. One red banner compared to the numerous ones back home.  How pathetic eh? There is no atmosphere whatsoever. With the "influx" of Chinese kids, 4 in total plus 1 soon-to-be-born, I made myself pack some red envelopes from home, so that the kids can experience a little of the festivities that I am so used to.   WHAT IS CHINESE NEW YEAR WITHOUT THE RED PACKETS? This year, we've upgraded our celebration to include mahjong!  yes, the mahjong set and table arrived last weekend.  hao-e couldn't stop himself from ripping the plastic cover off those ivory -coloured tiles and we ...
