TGIF

TGIF. Finally, don't have to wake up so early in the morning... don't have to stand in the overly crowded MRT... LOL! Women are always full of complaints.... just can't help it!

Updates on my job: Busy... Busy....Busy is the only word that I can think of. Been having OT for today and yesterday to clear up all the outstanding paper works. But I was happy that I was able to meet the deadline given by my boss. Part 1 mission accomplished! Monday will be another round of busy day.... amending/updating and printing all important documents.... oh gosh... better have a heavy breakfast... think going to have late lunch le!

Better don't think too much... will enjoy my GREAT weekend first!

o/s: no msn, skype & even facebook- can u believe it?

First day @ Work

It was my first day at work today, and I am so thankful for my friends who remembered, and who took the trouble to SMS me. Thanks jasmine and Jocelyn. Appreciate it. Your prayers and blessings meant alot to me.

Well…. what can I say? The first day at work can be very intimidating – being in a different environment, starting on a new job scope and working with people you do not know. For me, it was a fabulous first day! Met my boss, and colleagues, and was whisked for my little orientation. Then, I was put on track immediately... boss handed all the urgent documents for me to follow up. I was occupied the whole day... love this kind of life!

Looking forward for more challenging days!!!!

Updates

How Time Flies

Tomorrow will be the 19th day back to Singapore

But still not used to the humid weather & the polluted air

Just some updates on what we have been doing:

Hubby had went back to work for 2 weeks le

As for me, I stay at home most of the time idling

or watching movie/drama or reading novels

I knew many would prefer to have this stressless & Carefree life

I was told by many to learn to enjoy as much as I could

I knew this opportunity is hard to come by but it is definitely not for me

I find my life is so aimless, purposeless or lifeless

How i wish I can return to the workforce asap

♥what is life without effort?

♥what is life without action just words or visa versa?

A better life? A happier life? A more carefree life? A less worried life? A less burdensome life?

So what do we live for?

12 Factors to look for in a job other than a pay check

A wonderful post to share:

“Never continue in a job you don’t enjoy. If you’re happy in what you’re doing, you’ll like yourself, you’ll have inner peace. And if you have that, along with physical health, you’ll have more success than you could possibly have imagined.”

- Roger Caras

To enjoy waking up in the morning, consider these 12 factors to look for in a job other than a paycheck:

♥ It makes a positive difference
♥ You enjoy your co-workers

♥ It fits your personality
♥ It challenges you to grow
♥ The company’s values align with yours

Our new car

Goodbye to our 5 year Honda Fit

& Welcome our 2nd hand Mitsubishi Lancer .

Great Buy - Iphone

Yesterday, we took a bus (no: 38) to expo conventional hall. It has been quite a while since hubby & I took the public transport. The 15mins ride was kinda fun! All we need to do were to sit back and relax. Don't have to stuck in a jam and also hassle free to search for a empty carpark lot.

When we were there, we were overwhelmed by the crowd. It was in a total messed, everyone was rushing in different directions. Expo were having several fairs: Food festival, Electronic, Popular & John little mega sales. Took us awhile to make our way to the electronic fair.

Saw the Starhub booth, hubby went over and got a really good deal for Iphone handset at $148 after $200 off for switching over from Singtel. In addition, also got 20% off monthly subscription under corporate (now only have to pay $40 per month) with free SIM card and $30 Robinson Voucher. So far the best deal as compare to other service provider!!!!

Hubby & his great buy!!!!

Friends Gathering

Yesterday, hubby & I went to Jocelyn's house together with Jasmine & her Hubby to be for steamboat. It has been 2 years since we have met up... really had a great time!!!!

Thanks for the wonderful entertainment by baby isaiah & baby Naomi!!!! They are so adorable!!!

Dislikes

Dislikes:
♥ Hot & humid weather; making us sweat like hell & super dehydrated
♥ Reckless drivers cuts lanes without signalling & tailgating
♥ Shopping on weekends and after office hours; malls are overly crowded
♥ Hard to find carpark lots and expensive parking fee & ERP
♥ Polluted air making us hard to breathe
♥ People are getting graceless

Errands

Hubby & I are still having jet lag. The crossing time zones cause us to wake up during the night and also make us difficult to get to sleep. Hope we can readjust to the new time zone asap.

Today, is a busy day for us! Had lunch at mum's house then we head out to run our errands:

♥Transfer SP services ownership @ HDB Hub Toa Payoh

♥Re contract & transfer broadband and home line

♥Change of our mobile service plan

♥Get a new petrol excess pass for our car

"Picnic, sun tanning, bikini, straw mat, beach towel & definitely my sun block (SPF 50)"

Its making me so excited!

Last Day in Dallas, Texas

Today is our last day in Dallas, Texas, where I used to call our temporary home!

Guess what I did today?????

Morning 9am, went for my follow up check up after the op. As usual, they took my urine sample, blood pressure & body temperature. Everything is good except that I'm still tested slightly positive on the pregnancy urine test which means the hormones level in my body has not totally "reset" (layman term) to the original self. Told by doc that this is normal, usually have to wait for 3-4weeks and was told to take my folic acid daily. Most importantly, the doc advised us to try for baby only in another 3 months time so to give enough time to recuperate completely.

Then, we headed to our apartment for the walk through inspection. Meet up with their new staff, Monica, she is real nice.... went through real quick. Main focus - carpet, oven, dishwasher & stove.... all clean and hand over the keys with no penalty!

Afternoon, meet up Irene and Angel for our last shopping in Grapevine. Really enjoy myself! All of us went home with bags of Forever 21 clothings & Aerie stuff.

4D3N Hotel Stay

All of us are entitled to a 4D3N stay before we depart home. Yesterday at 3pm, check into our hotel - Staybridge (5mins drive from our apartment). I would consider this hotel kinda luxurious, it comes with a small kitchen, living room and a Master room. Very well decorated. Warm and comfortable especially in the Master room. We were so drained off after a day cleaning of our apartment. So by 10pm, Hubby and I completely knock off and snuggled into our cozy bed.

This morning, we started our day kinda early at around 8am. First, we had free breakfast at the lobby and then headed off to our apartment for our last round of cleaning. We spent almost 2 hours vacuuming, mopping and removing all the unwanted stuff/cartons from our garage. Finally, everything is completely done. All we need to do now is to wait. Monday is the day to walk through the apartment whereby the apartment Manager will inspect the whole unit before we officially returning them all our house keys.

Hopes the inspection turns out well.
