It's a little late but...

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.

Jay Chou

Blasting Jay Chou into my ears with my broken ear-phones.. hee. I still love him so much! one of those singers whose songs cause my body to move and groove to the rhythm. just feel like dancing. my interest in mr chou waned though in recent months due to his new gf. i mean she's an improvement over jolin but i still think she's a bit ah... how shall i put it, not very nice. somehow i feel she's mean. not as guai and angelic as she looks. still have a soft spot for ppl who are nice. why can't ppl be nice? i'm trying to be nice. (my new mantra - " Be nice ") haha. i mean people who know me from before know i'm quite harsh and critical and unforgiving. so nice has got be a NEW mantra for me. Next thing you know, i'll be meditating in a nunnery atop a mountain with a thousand steps cut into it. every morning i'll be climbing down those steps to fetch a pail of water... and jack and i will fall down the hill with the pail and all... yikes, ...

Shujun's Birthday!!

Seems like yesterday when the new year 2005 started.. now it's May, and we've celebrated Beek's, Lihui's and Wanping's birthdays. Time seems to be passing too fast for birthdays for i refuse to admit that i'm older [again], yet it passes too slowly when i'm sad or down. Ah well, life isn't a box a chocolates. nor a piece of cake. it's full of cakes! birthday cakes especially. in 2 days, one of my best mates will be turning 24. it's been more than a decade, us knowing each other from sec sch days. haha! I just want you to know that you'll always going to be my lap cheong. my very cute friend who can sing "one night in Beijing" in both guy and gal's voices and break the record too! my ultra loyal friend who stuck by me all these years, listening to my whining and complaints. i have a lot of respect for ppl who can stand my nonsense, cos well, i'm not an easy person to like.. ask my buddies they'll tell you. [better still, ...

it's funny how you learn things about yourself - your likes and dislikes - every single day. here's a list of dislikes: eager beavers people who fake an accent people who talk more than they do people who claim credit when they've done nothing (oh! old debts) back-stabbers gossipers (is there such a word?) that stir up trouble like there ain't enough of that already?! inconsiderate people .... more to come, i just know it is it too much to ask to have decent people around? there's a chinese saying, that even on the same hand the fingers are of different lengths. but is it really impossible to have everyone cross a certain threshold of decency and not stick out like a sore thumb? i've often wondered why some 40 year olds act the way they do - as if they hate the whole world. i think i'm in danger of being that sort of 40 year old as the list gets longer, and i meet more obnoxious people. argh. (*_*)
