Valentine's Day

It's the once a year Valentine's Day today and on the streets are flooded with couples exchanging gifts and flowers. Not for me....... I'm heading back home for dinner. Both me and BC agreed that eating out on V day is going to be quite ex so he has decided to whip up some food for our dinner at home instead. When I got home, he already got the steak, mashed potato and egg ready on the plate and he even got me flowers!!! So the flowers is the surprise that he is talking about........... Haha, it was really a surprise for me since he has always complained that flowers are extremely expensive on V day and he would rather be the one selling them instead of buying them. It was only a small bouquet but I still thought it was rather sweet and thoughtful of him........

Well, after the tasty dinner, reality sinks in........ I have to clean the kitchen and dishes...............

The surprise flower from BC

Lemming lemming lemming!!!!

Should I get this?

Or this?

Or this???

Like I have been telling V, I have been having super lemmings on LV bags!!!! Gosh, what is wrong with me???? I am like dying to get one of these!!!!! Which one should I get??

TGIF!!

It's finally Friday! After 2 weeks of 'mong mong cha cha' in office, I'm still blur about the work here and I'm starting to wonder if the problem is me, that's why I still don't seem to understand what is going on in my work, but my colleagues told me that this is normal..........

Counting down, I have about 5 more months to my wedding and I have still yet to do anything about the guest list, details of the service for my church wedding etc etc..... I'm feeling so lazy about all these preparations. Sometimes I hope that only ROM and then I can get all these over and done with........ Spent so much time for that just 1 day, I find it such a waste of effort.....

I have just started with the new company for a week and I'm having a flu again!!!! Damn! My cough is still coming on and off and now I have sore throat and flu, what the hell....... It must be the late nights and also BBQ which I attended last Saturday since I did not drink much water during the BBQ as all of the drinks are cold. I should start taking my vitamin C again.......

Staying at my own place so far has been great (except for the housework, haha) since I have my own space to relax etc. For these few days, BC has also been very helpful with the laundries except that I find there still are areas for him to improve on especially when it comes to cleaning after eating. I told some of the colleagues about my 'standard' of cleanliness and they all agreed it's a women's thing. Women in general are more paranoid about dust and dirt. For me, I will have to add in ants as well since I always feel that without proper cleaning, there will be ants and once there are ants, it will be very difficult to exterminate them. BC always say that I am very paranoid, but to me, I feel that he is just been untidy.

Staying with someone else with different living habits is very very different. People can argue over how to put the utensils on the dish tray to how to clean the floor......... It's really an art....... Or for some, they just choose to ignore.

It has been a long time since I last had a BBQ and on Saturday, I met up with some of the wonderful ladies whom I knew on Singapore Brides forum and organised a BBQ on one of the ladies condo and her place was fantastic! I felt like I am stepping into a safari with all the fake animals around. Her husband and herself were excellent host and they did not even want anyone of us to help to buy food or bbq the food! Gosh, we were so paiseh, sitting down at the table and enjoying their food. The group was just great and we had a wonderful time together.

When Sunday came, it was housework day...... BC and myself cleaned the house and put the laundries into the washing machine. Headed to Ikea and bought all the nitty gritty like chopping board, plates and bowls, cups, rugs, toilet brush, frying pan, coasters etc etc and we spent a whooping $160 there!!!! Gosh! Having your own house really costs money! But the sense of satisfaction at the end of the day was just great when I get to enjoy myself in our space and house. Oh yes, cable TV and internet is up as well! Yippie!

Stars

I am currently in my 4th day of work and after some briefings etc, I am still seeing stars. I think due to the dynamic nature of the operations here, I am still unsure about how certain things are been done here and thus I am also unsure what I should look out for and be careful on. My peers told me not worry because I am still new and I will definitely take some time to physically do the work and also understand the things better. But somehow, I am still stressed. Am I just impatient??
