Huh? Three years?

Bumped into Lyn & John from AC @ Parkway with 3 grown kids now. Russ is reaching Pri 1, and Lauren outgrowing toddlerhood.

The last I worked when I was in Uni Yr 1-3 maybe? 2002-2004. Now it is 2007. Well indeed three years have flashed by, and naturally kids get born, and grow big. Silly me.

Someone once told me once you hit 25, the years roll by, and are gone in a flash. I am approaching 25 come 20th September. Thinking to throw a farewell & birthday party with Ruby for the first time in years that we have since talked about it.

And of course, the excitement of leaving Sg has drained away. I am now more excited about getting a Laurastar Steamup G. It is 600/1088 dollar steam iron (depending on which model I get). Either that or a Philips also costing $670. Why the hell is it so expensive? It is on automatic steam and pressure is 3.5 Bar, 3 * more than any conventional iron. The steam shot is also greater @ 120g constant vs 100g when u press e steam button. So just iron on one side, and I am done. Plus steam comes out constantly @ higher temperature and pressure, which holds the threads, and thus creases less easily after wearing. Ironing also glides much smoother and lighter. Now now. Think practically.

Back from HK

I have to unpack and clear my baggage. It's quite crazy how messy my room has gotten lately.

One week in HK was pretty good. LKF. Egg tarts. Flagship Louis Vuitton shop. Just branded stuff EVERYWHERE! Just one week was enough to get me entering Omega and Fendi and SF shops! Food wise pretty adaptable, yummy charsiew rice, egg tarts, donuts.

National Day

It was nice to wake up without having to go to work, and having a doubly long weekend.

You know if you pay by instalments on your credit card, the whole amount gets charged against your limit? Now, i have to ask for a limit increase, to prep for next weeks HK trip.

National Day was spectacular, though I think Formula One would be more exciting. I want to get tickets. But how ah?

Brother was back for the National Day hols, yesterday being one of the nights we three hung out at the MOS together again.

Am Back!

It's been ages since I've last written. Say, it's been what, 8 months!

I have left my previous Middle Office job ... haa. Now am with a Brokerage firm, involved in pre-sales. What is that most people would ask. I will give you the answer when I find out.

Darn, I have a presentation to give in tomorrow. And i have no more than 10 slides. It's 11.23pm, guessing I don't have very much time nor energy to finish it.

I am definitely more interested in my HK move. Getting my new apartment sorted out is such a pain! Plus I've gotta work out the taxes I have to pay, so I won't overspend. Also, my relocation expenses & home leave issues. Yah, the new reporting structure with my new boss too! And of course, the baggage of getting a HK ID & bank a/c done up, making sure I have budget enough and eye for detail in inspecting the new place... sure don't want get shortchanged.

Gonna scurry along for my ppt!
