Your R 30!

Last weekend we celebrated hubs 30th ( OFFICIALLY AN UNCLE!) We went on a eating spree!!! I mean after all , what hubby wanted was a RC Helicopter ( and to eat !) which I did get for him from Toys R Us for only AUD25! And in return he got me a really nice bag! ha ha ha ha YES where is the fairness in that?! BUt but... he was happy coz he won $$ at Crown ( a BIG birthday gift !!)

So it all started on Friday ( his actual birthday!), I made him hard boiled eggs ( suppose to be covered in red dye - some chinese traditions like a birthday cake!) but I did not have any red food colouring so I marker pen it! got red mah...so can dee la! On top of that I made breakkie!That night we went to Crown where he won $$ from the casino and had nice Greek cuisine!

On Sat morning we went for breakkie with my old uni mate E @ Mart, which was really a nice place overlooking ALbert Park! SUper Nice!! We spend like 3 hours taking our own sweet time!
We had another dinner that nite with my cousin sis and her hubby at a fab Chinese Restaurant ( did not take any pics or remember the name....too hungry ok..so many days never eat rice...so macam babi la!)

The best part was the drive to Daylesford for a romantic lunch on Sunday...OK it may sound crazeeee...we drove 2 hours north for lunch....but hey it's all worth it... the weather was cold and rainy...but then again...who cares...

I Am Most Happy When I....

It is very easy to make me happy!

First of all, I am most happy when I get to shop!!! (understatement!!)

Second of all, I am most happy when I have a glass of alcohol in my hands! :)

Thirdly, I am most happy when my house is SPARKLING clean!!!

And finally, I am most happy when I am surrounded by people I love and love me!

How easy is that? to make me happy!

A Big Welcome to Tynee!

Goodbye Foxy.....*sob* *sob* you have serve us well for the last 6 years! It's time to make another family happy!


Oh HELLO Tynee!!!! *grin* *grin*

Finally we got our new car today! How exciting! Daniel, our sales person actually took 1 hour going through the ins and outs of the car! After a while I was not listening! I was more interested in taking pictures.

But kinda cool they actually covered the car and have a sign with my name and all...then they would unveil the car...and like TADAAAAAaaaHHHH! ha ha ha ha... and as usual I have NO SHAME... I started taking loads of pics!


Happy Happy....

When we got home hubs was mucking around with the car for God knows how long..he even watch a DVD in the car!! I would have given him a pillow and blankie and ask him to sleep in the car....then he got hungry, that is when he came back into the house! *roll eyes*!

OK..Btw...it is freaking cold and foggy tonite... its like almost 0 degrees and I can hardly see my neighbour's house thru the thick layer of fog!

Ok Nites!

Do You Want To Be On The Waiting List?

OK! I just had a very weird phone convo! (for me)

So... I have decided to bring hubs for his birthday dinner at Donovans and I called them up to make a booking. The convo went something like this:

Donovans' Reception Girl (DRG): Good eve'nin Donovans!
Me: Hie! I would like to make a booking for 2 person @ 8pm this Friday nite.
DRG: I am sorry we are fully booked...would you like to be on the waiting list?
Me: Fully booked?? This Friday nite?? Waiting LIST??? oohhhh *sounding very confused!*
DRG: Yes, would you like to be on the waiting list?
Me: How does it work?
DRG: I will put you down and will call you if there is any cancellation.
Me: Like about when will I know if I will get a table?
DRG: urm if there is a cancellation.
Me: Urmmm.... ok
DRG: Great! Can I get a name and mobile no please?
Me: (gave my details). SO like are you gonna call me on Friday itself?
DRG: between now and Friday
Me: uh oh.... then I better have book another place just to be safe.
DRG: *laughs as me!!!* Yea maybe...
Me: OK thanks!
DRG: Your welcome!

* hangs up phone*

OK for those of you who are familiar being on waiting list to get a table in a restaurant....well laugh your head off!! But seriously...I HAVE NEVER EVER been waitlisted at Donovans EVER!! Usually its always available... I guess it became more popular over the years...or there are a lot of people celebrating birthdays or something this Friday! Dammit! I was sooo looking forward to a comfy table by the fireplace with the view of the beach and ocean!

BUT SERIOUSLY!! WAITLIST why can't they just put it at fully booked FULLSTOP! Now I am in limbo... I got to go find another resataurant to makan! OR should I wait for "THE" call?? $%&I*&^%#!()(^*@#

When was the last TIME......

I just spoke to a my friend S, and he finally ask J to be his girlfriend officially... so he bought her flowers, handpicked one by one.... how sweet is that? How special is that?

That got me thinking...

When was the last time YOUR someone special did something SPECIAL for you?

Mine just ask me if I needed help to mop the floor....when I was alomost DONE!

But I still love him....to bits and pieces.... as long as he supports my decision to shop!

:)

What to Do ? WHat to DO.... WHat TO DO????

I AM GETTING MY NEW CAR TOMMOROW!!!! YAY!!!

This morning the car dealer called me and told me that my brand new 4WD is waiting for me to collect tommorow!! How exciting!!

So tommorow morning I will be parting with Foxy Beemer and will pick Tynee ( that is the new name for my HUGE GINORMOUS car which I needed them to install a side step so I can get in!).

AND AND...my lawyer will be submitting my renewal aplication today and he told me I can get an asnswer lastest next week if DIMIA will extend my PR status. * fingers cross*.

Sooooo because I got so many things to do 'cet for today, it is like passing super damn slow man... just finish ironing and watching re-runs of FRIENDS and showered...thinking of taking the bike out for a spin round the estate, but then hubs is still stuck to WII so I dont wanna kacau him la!

Busy busy busy BZ

I am kinda glad I got the ball rolling on our 1st week back here... usually I would leave it till later maybe 1 month down the road and when I wanna get my things done or buy things, or fix this or that...I will be going back to Penang.

So YAY for me!

Let see...

• Manage to see my laywer and get my RRV process started.
• Met with my accountant to discuss on my taxation and other potential business.
• Quotes for the plantation shutters that we plan to change from our yucky window blinds.
• Hunt for a new car.
• BUY private health insurance.
• Organised for the gardener to come in next week.
• BLOG!!!

So double YAY for me!

But there are more things to do.....soooooo

Smell y'all later!!!

***** It has finally stopped raining and hailing and the glorious SUN is OUT!!!! hope it last for at least today*****

My Fav Snack....

....which hubby finds absolutely disgusting!

All Hail and Rain @ Pinto

This is what we saw when we got home to Pinto! MY GARDEN is in a MESS!!!! (grass is fake! so it always looks good). The trees and bushes are like gila babi! and there are weeds everywhere and it killed 3 of my Rosemary bushes! My supposed "creek" garden has turned into a wild wetland!!! * faints*

So we called our gardener Paul...and unfortunately we found he has been in and out of the hospital for treatment of his cancer and that is why our garden was not upkeep... so sad to hear that he had a relapse. So its ok if our garden is in a mess... can be fix!

The house was ok, not THAT dirty ...just that it has lotsa webs and dust....after almost 6 months its still fairly clean. We started cleaning and cleaning and cleaning and we manage to get the house look livable after 6 hours!

I don't remember if I have posted up pics of Pinto...but here are some

So far we have not met up with any friends or family yet... just lotsa grocery shoppin to stock up my pantry, lotsa washing, meeting with our accountant and lawyers and looking for a new car! Yes we are trading up to a bigger, meaner 4 wheel drive... so sad if the deal falls through I will have to say goodbye to Foxy Beemer!

On a totally different subject. Hubs bought me this @ Changi airport! I LOVE HIM!!! ( in my defense, it was on SALE and it was either this or a Bottega bag - which was also on sale 30% off!)

Smell Ya Later!

OK peeps! I am off for a few days!

I will resume all my bloggin when I get back to Melbourne and when I finished unpacking and cleaning the house and make sure the fridge and pantry is stocked for my hibernation season.

You can still catch me on Twitter.

Smell y'all later!!!

The Sleeping Disorder and The Office Disorder

Let me tell you the story of how I got a streak of red dye across my left cheek.

I suspect I have narcolepsy. Well maybe not that serious but I said suspect rite!

So so...couple of days ago I went to my colorist at 2pm, TWO PM!!! (IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ARVO!) to get my hair colored in bright red!! So half way through the whole process... I suddenly felt a tugging on my hair/scalp/head and it instantly woke me up.... I quickly check if I was drooling... but then I realized the colorist was laughing and I saw a huge DEEP RED streak of dye on my cheek...from the eye straight down to my nose! Did not help when I also realized that my mascara and eyeliner was smudge ( look like a panda with a red tattoo on the face)

I was super duper embarrassed loh! All the time I am like proper, chatty and nice... suddenly I just fell asleep and disoreintated. He offered me coffee which I declined... but my friend S "forgot" to bring my my Satubucks coz he did not check his Twitter! ( damn shud have taken their coffee instead!

Well, honestly this is not the first time I fell asleep suddenly... You see...I am the kinda person even no matter how tired I am I will keep awake. Last Sunday, I fell asleep on the couch sitting up and suddenly *blop* my head was on my chin! Hubs tot I was super funny.... and then the saloon incident and then last night again during facial, my therapist was talking talking and suddenly I was gone and woke myself up with my own snore and then pretend to clear my throat to cover my snore!! What an idiot!!! ha ha ha ha!!!



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK! Another story!

My office is going through a very chaotic time!

Me and hubs is going away for 3 months

My assistant is on study and exam leave until end of next week

My assistant's assistant just went into labour and we wont be seeing her for the next 2 months

My part time trader is a 50 year old aunty obssessed with Facebook

My financial manager is taking over everyone's job till everything return to normal

My BIG BOSS - not too happy with all the interuptions!

Done

My bags are almost packed!

I have cut my hair and coloured it

I have gone for my pedi and mani

I have eaten almost everything that I would miss

I have pass all my work over to my staff

I have clean out my fridge and pantry

I have partied and dine with my friends and family

I have stocked up all my essentials

I have washed my cars

I have clean the house

I have done most bulk of the laundry

Now all that is left to do is enjoy my 3 hour facial and go home and chillex in front of my TV ( and most probable pack some more) shower, eat dinner, sleep and wait for Friday to board the flight back to good 'ol Melbourne.

Smell ya later!
