Sorry for not updating my blog religiously and diligently these past few weeks. There are actually a couple of pieces of good news to share.
One, Matt and I found a new apartment. It's bigger, with 2 bedrooms and a basement, so we can have friends and family over anytime. The apartment also comes with a/c throughout, which is a huge blessing as the temperatures climb in Summer. I might be from the tropics, but the humidity here is really quite a different thing altogether. Our current apartment is now a fire hazard. There are so many boxes and suitcases lying around, some filled, some half-filled, some waiting to be filled. We've packed around 90% of the living area and 40% of the bedroom and we've got about 10 days left. Actually, 7 days left cos we'll be spending 3 days in NYC. Loads of administrative things to do with the move, changing addresses etc. it's going to be painful for these few weeks at least. Anyway, we're moving over from 1st June and will post some pics after we've more or less unpacked and settled in.
Two, i'm officially a permanent staff member of my office. My work permit got approved on 10th May for 3 years. So it looks like we'll be here for another 3 years. More administrative things to do.... But happy problems, if you ask me. I'm glad to finally announce that I have a proper job (even though i'll be on probation for 3 months) after 3 bloody long years! Praise the Lord!
Three, we're heading to NYC this Saturday for a long weekend (next Monday is Bermuda Day). I'm going to hunt for a new bikini and new work wear from j.crew and h&m. bored of those i'd gotten in sgp and sf. and we're going to load up on the good asian food from morning to night. haha... thank God for 24 hour Korean restaurants.
Four, summer is almost here, so the boat trips begin! i just bought us some new snorkel gear so that we can dive right into the water to scare, i mean stare at the fishes during our first boat trip for the season on 29th May. Here's when the new bikini will be out to play. I do have an arena swimsuit but somehow it ain't fitting as well as it did 3 months ago. eek. happy thoughts, think only happy thoughts.
