Finally!!!!


Whoever has been doing the rain dance has finally work. From the past 2 weeks of simply nothing but heat and bush fires, it rained today! Although it has already stopped here, somewhere further east is still showering heavily.....the firemen can finally rest....

February

In a way I am so glad that February is coming to an end. It has been such a clumsy february for me. In the span of 2 weeks, I have bruised both of my knees, cut my finger and gotten an insane amount of mosiquito bites. Not to mention the stubbing of toes....I wonder which deity I have offended to have to suffer like this.

My family is preparing to move. AGAIN. Back to Chelsea. AGAIN. We have just moved from Chelsea to Maryland last year during summer and now we are moving back. AGAIN. Although I am not looking forward to the actual moving, I am looking forward to settling down finally. Since I return from Perth, my parents have talked about the possibility of moving back to Chelsea should we sell Maryland. So I have been feeling really unsettled. My stuff are haphazardly placed everywhere and I don't even feel like packing the room much because of the fact that we are moving. Also, I am looking forward to having my own room again. Don't get me wrong, I love sharing a room with my E-Chiing. At least every night there is someone to talk to before I sleep and she and I have a ball sharing the same room together. Well, I guess I am looking forward to some private space. Some space where I can "design" the non-exsistant "decor" and personalise it.

I am a little mixed feelings about working. On one hand I am so looking forward to it. I have been complaining about having nothing to do and no money etc. Plus, this job sounds extremely challenging and demanding but it also sounds like I am going to learn and learn fast. I might even get the opportunity to go to HongKong! On the other, I am so used to having nothing to do. Waking up at whatever time I fancy (which is about 8.30am - 9am thesedays) and be at the beck and call of Blackie. In the sense that at least I know I can be there whenever he needs me. Oh well, I reckon a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do and a woman's gotta do what a woman wants to do. And I want to work....i think...hehe.

Blackie went for field camp with his wing today and won't be back til Wednesday.....What should I do meantime????

I just read the blog of a friend from Perth. He and his girlfriend are going through some tough times and are currently not together anymore. Although I dunno what happened between the both of them, I feel so bad for them because I thought they were IT having been together for a pretty long time. His blog, once filled with nonsensical funny rubbish, now is covered with words of sadness and despair. Well, I hope whatever happens, both find happiness and optimism in their life. Friends made when I was studying overseas are very dear to me because we share a bond that only us will understand.

What holds for Blacks and I in the future? Suddenly I dare not think.

February is also the month where I missed my DaJie Elin a lot. Somehow I wish she was here, giving me advice that I need about job and stuff. She always have answers. Its probably a elderest sister thing. With her PR in Australia, I wonder whether she will ever think about returning back here and to stay? I doubt.

Well, I am unsure whether February has been a good month. But lets not dwell on February and look forward to March!!! Blacks and my 1st year! We really made it!

Beach Day



(from left to right: Joey, Vicky and Bobo)

Sunday 20th February

Blacks and I brought our 3 doggies to Tanjong Beach Sentosa. Our dogs we found out are not very aquatic. All so scared of going into the sea especially Joey. Vicky's fur is not very waterproof and it got really heavy when she swam and Bobo preferred to stay near the shore. 3 extremely noisy dogs when we were on the way there, became really quiet on the way home. But blacks and I agree that this dog outing is actually more tiring for us because we not only have to chase them all over the beach and then go home and shower all of them. I knocked out at around 9ish 10. Blacks totally knocked out at around midnight.

I just got rejected for a job. Theoractically I didn't get rejected, I just didn't get the call back for the job. Nonetheless, it feels kinda sucky. Like I am not good enough. This job hunting thing is not as fun as I thought. I still am not sure what to do. And the worse thing is, noone is giving me pressure to find a job. It's worse because I feel so guilty. Oh GOD! Give me a sign!

---> Hahaha...in the span of 15mins of typing the above paragraph, I actually got the call back for the job! I GOT A JOB!

Happy Rooster Year!!!!


Ladies and gentlemen, presenting to you, all the way from Amber Road!!!! MY DADDY!!!! More affectionately known as thesedays as POPPY. The oh so beautiful babe besides this hunky dory man is me! Me in my mother's old gown she wore to her wedding about 33 years ago. Its not her wedding gown. But I can't remember whether she told me she wore it to the dinner or ROM....well.....as you can see...the design is indeed from the 70s....SO ORBIANG!

Happy Lunar New Year to everyone. On this 2nd day on New Year. I wish everyone success in your life. Horse Come Success (Ma Dao Chen Gong). Heart Think Come True (Xin Xiang Shi Chen). Wealth Circle In Jewel (Cai Yuan Jin Bao). And for those senior citizens.....Long Life Hundred Age (Chang Ming Bai Sui). In this year of the rooster, I currently dun have anything to wish for but a job. Something to do. Something for me to earn some money. I am not only broke. I am bored to tears.

I'm not sure whether it is a bad omen or what. Blackie and I had our first very ultra serious fight yesterday and the whole night we hardly spoke to one another. He said something at the fit of anger that hurt me a lot. I know yesterday night he was feeling very remorseful and simply spent the whole night by my side. I wanted so much to tell him that everything is ok and I am not sad but my tears din allow me to. I hardly even looked at him and thought the best thing to do is to close my eyes and sleep. I think he must have spent the night thinking and keeping himself occupied for he did not sleep til about 4am. Well, I master up enough courage to let him know why I couldn't stop crying yesterday. We talked and we made up. Things are back to normal now. The good thing that come out from this is that we have grown and mature together. Learn more about each other.

Well. I hope the year of the Rooster is a good one for all.

PS: One good sign of a better year?? My ang pow collection increase. Mainly $10 this year....economy is picking up!!!

Happy Rooster Year to all

Hope the year will be a ball

Married, attached, stay happy

Single people get lucky!

Working people earn more more

Study people grades will sore!

So for all I wish tonight

May your future be so bright!
