The One With The HOT Pink Dress

Cocktails was on the menu to kick start my BFF's birthday... and also my early birthday celebration...

You can say it was a private party starting at 5.30pm in the arvo with just the 3 of us and waiters and a bunch of mozzies and yummylicious cosmopolitans and mojitos...*grin*

Blackie Turns 30!

Today my BFF celebrates her 30th birthday!!!

She is in denial that she is 30... so if you ever EVER meet her... tell her she looks 28! Thanks!

Happy Birthday Blackie!!

The One With The "EMO" Entry

Today I am officially 31 years old in the Chinese calendar ( my big 30th is not until this Thursday!). So I am a bit emo today...why?? coz my mom brought lunch for me today ( so sweeeett) she made 2 red eggs (to signify something good...i cannot remember) and also she did "mee suah ting" for me (singnify long life) and cooked my favourite "chai boey" (I was too hungry that I whallop everything and forgot to take pictures of it!

So back to my emo state... in my 30 years of life... I must say... I had my ups and downs surrounded by family and friends... looking back, I must say, I have lost a few good friends to misunderstandings ( which I dont even remember anymore!)... and thinking about it makes me sad...coz we had so much fun times together, laughin and drinking and gossiping and playing.. I really missed those moments... but hey wait a minute...I still have those moments now but just missing those few friends... regrets?? yes... why make enemies when all can be friends??? but hey life goes on... so from now on... I will try to forgive and forget and everyone is my friend!

In my 30 years of life, I also met a lot of people that I grew to love...like my hubby :) I have also learn to love my parents more than ever and appreciate them more than before.

I have also grew up a lot... blisfully married with "responsibilities". The only thing which I did not achieve before 30 was to have a child :( My bloody bio clock is ticking super loud loh!

Oh well... at least when I walk on the streets, some people still think I look like I am in my 20s! so...life is good... near perfect...

Oh man... I need a DRINK!

Bring out the margaritas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The One With The Boobies and Sparklies

I had a "wow... I was so drunk" weekend!

First on Friday night, I decided to "crash" a friend's bachelor night... and I met with my old friend Angel ( who is the devil in disguise) and drank like there is no tomorrow... I stumble home and passed out on my bed!
Then on Saturday I woke up with a bitch ass hangover!!!! ( and surprisingly with clean dry hair and my pjs...hubs said I clean myself and blow dryed my hair all while swaying left and right!) So I told myself... ok tonight is Wendee's wedding...I will drink a bit but won't overdo it! YEAH HELL RITE!!! Halfway thru dinner with all my old friends... I was stading by the bar with the rest downing whiskey!!
Then someone decided to move the party to the club! And then there is when I totally forgot everything...this is the last picture I took



Lesson: NEVER EVER mix whiskey with champagne and vodka! NEVER!!!!

The One With The Flowers!

So since yesterday was our wedding anniversary, I decided to make hubby feel bad for not getting any flowers for me (as a joke!) So I started saying things like:

" Does not mean when I sed I don't like flowers u assume its for real" " Aiyah, I am worthless wife... anniversary only go makan makan... no diamonds, no flowers, naddah!!" " Wah you know the last time u bought me flowers was like SEVEN years ago!!! and that was when I was SICK!"

Well guess what...the joke backfired and I failed to make him guilty! He actually surprised me with my favorite flowers! ( the gerberas not the roses) It was actually so sweet of him la... and I felt so bad teasing him before!!!

Conclusion : Girls actually loves receiving flowers when they say they don't... I think its inbuild in our mindset!

So... yea!

Dinner was at Ferringhi Garden... and it was so-so only... I still don't understand why everyone I meet tells me that the food the is FAB! to me well... its just normal... BUT I love the atmosphere...very romantic...a good place for celebrations or just a place to chill and dine.

It was a good nite for us... well the celebration continues with my 30th next week!!!

till then...

muaks

Happy 3rd Anniversary Mr. Chan!

Today we are celebrating our 3rd wedding anniversary!

Can't believe that I am Mrs. Chan for 3 years d! :) Kinda think of it, our marriage is filled with a lot of laughter and arguments... but most importantly...our love keeps on growing! Yeah damn cheesy but I can't help but think...what actually makes a marriage work out?

We make our marriage work based on:

- respect
- tolerance
- compromise
- love
- lust
- romance
- communication
- arguments

I am fully blessed by having a partner in crime who is my best friend, lover, comedian handy man, cicak killer, provider, lecturer and hubby.

News Flash!

A piece of news.... great piece of news!!

NO, we are NOT preganant... *&%$#^&^&

We are planning to move into a bigger house in Penang!!!

Yes... hubs and I have finally decided to move from our tiny condo into a semi-d house... so that calls for another round with the lawyers, bankers and interior designers and contractors.

Why do we always put ourselves in situations like that...

Nothing is conclusive yet... the house is there but now the problem is do we have enough moolah to renovate the house... its a huge job!!

The newsagent ah neh downstairs was asking me if I am renovating my house, cause this morning, I bought 6 house reno and ID magazine!! Yes I IS MENTAL a Bit!

Anyone interested in purchasing a luxury condominum...3/4 furnished...

Mystical Bali

They say that Bali has mystical powers!

I remember 3 years ago when I first visited Bali, at the end of the trip I told myself in my heart that I will come back to Bali every single year... and since then every year I have been back there!

Seriously... kinda scary thinking that I made a secret vow and am unconsciously keeping it!

This time around, I hit Bali with my KL babes... but what happens in Bali stays in Bali! *wink* *wink*

Damages

The Raya holidays was absolutely expensive!!

Damage:
- 5 pairs of new shoes ( which I had to hide from hubby!)

Seriously need to work on my tan!

xoxo

Can't Wait No More!

On to more serious matter....

It has finally dawn on me that I need to have children like right now!! Since we got married, I knew we can delay the pregnancy thing for a while...but it has been three years and we are still childless and we are 30 this year and we plan to have more that 2 kids and they have to be 2-3 years apart...so by that time I would be in my late 30s!!! and by the time our kids get married we will be well into our 60s and maybe...just maybe we might not be able to see our grandchildren!!! Thinking about it and counting actually made me fell really anxious!

So recently, my mom took me to see a Chinese sinseh and he told me that my womb is "cold" and tht is why I can't get pregnant... it won't stick to my "walls". So he went on to prescribe me some herbs...which I have no problem with since I grew up with Chinese medicine. I actually love the smell of Chinese herbs... I do not know how to explain but I guess it will always remind me of my childhood.

Neeways, hopefully we will be pregnant soon....if not...on to the next step...fertility clinic...but I am hoping it will not get to that stage... I will tell people I prefer natural remedies to western medicine...but actually I am chicken shit bout anything clinical!

Last resort - adoption, we can be the new Angelina and Brad! *roll eyes* LOL

The Begining of the Adventures of Coala

Hubs and I have adopted a tiny little rubbery, plasticky, eye popping toy and has decided to set it out on its own adventure!

Actually it started out as a game that me and hubby decided to play back in Melbourne just to ease the boredom (and also to be childish). We would hide Coala (that is what we name it) in places where each of us would take turn to hide and look for it. The rule is that we must be able to see its eyes or beak. Then I decided to take pictures of it...just coz its too damn cute! I think hubs is more creative than me.

Its just TOO DAMN CHOO BEE!!!

A few places where we would "place" Coala to be found!

Living Out from My Suitcase

We are finally back in Penang...(for this week)

Actually we got back two weeks ago, but we left for Bangkok for the week just short of 3 days after landing in Penang and we just really REALLY got back last Friday.

So my month of September is basically pack, unpack, pack, unpack, pack, unpack....

Next up will be KL this weekend and end of the month will be Bali with my KL girls ( this one hubby not going! *nyek* *nyek* *nyek*!)

So I am back in my office and my work has been piling up! DIe sia... and I am so tired and the heat is not doing any justice!

OK laters!

The "Great Drive"

***SUPER OLD POST***

We survived the "Great Drive" starting from Melbourne - Lakes Entrance - Sydney - Blue Montains - Melbourne!! ANd we gnt home in one piece!

After travelling for more than 2000plus kms and in total of more than 30 hours, I am actually glad that hubs convinced me to drive instead of fly. It was actually really fun!!

Our drive from Melbourne to Lakes Entrance was the start of our "adventure" we headed south to East Gippsland, Victoria where one of the most fab views greet us. A very quiant and quiet water front town with most of the visitors there for deep sea fishing at the Tasman Sea and for some r & r. We only stayed a night ( but will definately go back for some fishing and boating!)

The next morning we took a slow drive along the coastal through many many countless towns with sme very weird questionable names ( hubs and me entertained ourselves by pronouncing the names of towns, creeks, river, valleys, hills....trust me...if you come from a background with diverse launguage it WOULD be funny!!!!) All along the drive hubs was dying to spot a 'garoo (kangaroo) but mostly we saw roadkills!! and we manage to spot a small wallaby. But the worse was when we saw the "black Saturday"bush fire that seriously damage the forests!

After 12 hours we finally reached Sydney! At this point I was seriously dying (not to see a 'garoo) for a hot shower, and a bed!! After checking in to Westin and had a quick dinner I collapse into their infamous "Heavenly Bed" Wah seriousloh...it was seriously heavenly...just like our bed back in Penang! *bliss* Basically I passed out!

We spend 3 days in Sydney doing the normal tourisy things...the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, The Rocks, Bondi ( which was seriously over rated!) Manly.... after a while, I just got bored but we did have lotsa fun driving around and basiclly ate a lot!

Our last leg of the trip was the great Blue Mountains! We drove to the town of Katoomba and stayed at a very small boutique hotel which had the greatest view! Our verandah opens up to a small english garden which overlook the famous Three Sisters, Mt Solitory and the Valley! Me and hubs just spend our time sitting at our verandah sipping wine and soaking in the views when we are not exploring the forest! ( yes I did it! I actually went bushwalking/trekking! and my legs hurts like ^&*%^$%&!)

By the end of our trip the 12 hour drive home which was really long ( felt like days! )and both of us were happy and exhausted!

To me personally, Sydney was ok only... just like any other cities...nothing much to rave about, but the Blue Mountains did wowed me!

Would I do it all over again?! YES! But not to Sydney la...we are already planning to drive west to Adeaide and to Port Lincoln to visit my foster family.

Roadtrip...WOOHOO!!!!

The time has finally come...

We are all packed to go on our yearly holiday "from-Melbourne-instead-of-Penang" holiday!

So this time around, we are not flying but driving! YES ROADTRIP!!!! We will be driving south to Lake Entrance for one night to see what the fuss is about there. Then we wil continue along the coastal route up north to Sydney for 4 days to shop and eat and walk and well basically cause the last time I was in Sydney...lets just say I dont remember a thing. And as for hubs the last time he was in Sydney, he dumped his long time girlfriend there and had a lousy time. So this time we are going to make it all different! Our last leg of the whole "roadtrip" we will drive to Blue Mountains to get some romantic time together! We have booked ourselves into a nice boutique hotel (hopefully it does not suck cause it is costing us a bomb!!)

All in I think in total it will take us 20 hours or more!!! *faints* Well the only perk about driving and not flying is that I DONT HAVE TO PACK LIGHT!!! yes!! I went crazy packing!!xtra outfits, extra handbags, extra shoes, boots, extra coats extra EVERYTHING ( for those who do not really know me, I am not a light traveller!) And hubs did not even "sound" me. LOL!!!

Anyhoo, hubs has decided to drive ALL the way in fear that if I was behind the wheels I would probably-

1. Get lost ( even is we have GPS)
2. Kill a kangaroo or even worse a koala!
3. Will take up to 40 hours instead of 20 hours!

SOooo....time to head out to buy "roadtrip" snacks!!

okbye!

Winter Blooms

See what I found in our garden smack right in the middle of winter!

Just Another Weekend

I have finally recovered!! 3 very sick week... I am still coughing but at least my nose has decided to stay one my face and not run away!

The weekend was very yummy! YES! On Saturday we drove all the way to Yarra Valley to Yering Station's Wine Bar Restaurant for lunch and it was absolutely to die for!!! And on Sunday we had a fab dinner at Giuseppe Arnaldo & Sons, it was so yummy that I almost cried when the whole dinner was done! Yes I am very "tham chiak"!

On another note...

Hubs and I was lazing around last weekend and we were just talking nonsense and joking around and SUDDENLY he got all serious!

Hubs( in a very serious soft and sexy voice): You know after so many years that we are together and I just want to tell you that.........

...(his voice trails off and my heart was beating so fast knowin he is gonna say something sweet to me or suprise me with something- then he continued)

Hubs( sill in a very serious heart melting voice): ...that you look STUPID!!!!!!

*GASP*

I WAS LIKE EXPECTING I STILL LOOK PRETTY OR I LOVE YOU EVEN MORE BUT "I LOOK STUPID!!"

and he started laughing so hard that he fell off the bed. (well I kicked him off the bed!)

He quickly said he was joking! ofcoz...what else ....

But these are the moments which I absolutely adore my hubby for.... he always makes me laugh.

I Have A Disorder

For the past 1 1/2 weeks, I have been shopping like NOBODY's business! Seriously! Bags, purses, dresses, shoes, boat, anything!!! And some of these purchases are well not cheap! Yes I am guilty but when I make the purchase its like my stomach is filled with lollies and daisies and rainbows! Oh what a nice tingling feeling...*bliss*

Yes the "feeling" might last only for a while but I FEEL GOOD!!!

Hubs as usual think I have a serious disorder and he thinks I need to see a shrink! But then he will go a long with it as long as we have a nice yummlcious meal after. See so easy to please men! Just feed them!

Well, I think I "might" have a disorder but in my defense, I AM A WOMAN!!! so shopping come naturally for me!

Updates

2 weeks counting!

still sick!!!

well at least now I am actually recovering.

some updates:

1. The Department of Immigration finally approved my PR renewal for another 5 years! yay!!

Out Cold

I have been so sick fo the last 1 week. yes! The flu got to me!!! I was so careful...making sure I had my daily dosage of vitamins, dressed warmly....but it still got me!

By the 4th day, I was still burning, I swear I cough a piece of my lungs out and my body was in tremendous pain!!

SWINE FLU!!!???

Nah...thank God it was not! The good doctor gave me a dose of anti-biotics and send me home for more rest.

I did not leave the house for 8 days and still counting and I am DYING to get out! So hubby took me on a car ride last nite to St Kilda beach...should have just staye at home cause I think I caught the chill AGAIN!!!!

When I get well, I am going to to pour myself a large glass of wine and I am going SHOPPING!!!!

HELL Ya!!!

Super 7s Oz Lotto

No we were not MILLIONAIRES!!

So after so many years living in Australia, yesterday was the first time we ever bought Tattslotto tickets. I mean, it was just basically because yesterday's jackpot was AUD106 MILLION!!! HOW CAN YOU NOT HAVE TICKET FOR IT!!!

So hubs decided ok we buy 50 sets of numbers so each of us forked out AUD25.

At 8.45pm, the draw was life on TV...so me armed with a pen and paper was super hyped up, and super positive that we will win something!! I was already day dreamin about the Birkin and Kelly bags!! and also my trip around the world luxury style. Before you know it... I am still dreamin about the Birkins and Kellys and my trip round the world??!! Yea keep on dreamin...

So it was a cheap thrill for us... ha ha ha ha... I think there are big winners in Queensland or NSW..not too sure...but it ain't me!

Oh well we will try again when there is a HUGE jackpot!

Rest In Peace Paul Kenney

Our gardener of many years here in Melbourne has passed on yesterday after battling with cancer which spread to his entire body.

I got a message from his brother aout his passing this morning and I know it was inevitable...at least he is not suffering now.

I kinda got a numb feeling and looking out to our garden somehow I can still see him mowing the lawn, plucking the weeds, trimming the bushes and making sure everything is tidy...just the way I like it.

In memory of Paul, we will dedicate our little garden to him...afterall he was the one who took care of it so many years while we are away.

RIP Paul.

Colour Makes A Difference

We change our family room from this...




To this.....


So much warmer in the midst on winter.

:)

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*.

AND AND AND...finally got another guy to come in on Friday to quote on my window shutters ( the last one was a total rip off!!!)

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.
