The weather's been great! I couldn't ask for better weather... well I could but that would be too greedy lol! It's been raining, it absolutely poured yesterday (nice!), and while it's been mostly sunny today, the temperature has been mild and comfortable. I was able to shop for hours on end at U-Village (outdoor mall) this morning without getting flustered even with screaming and/or crying kids around me :D Yes I've been shopping; what's new... for myself and my nieces. It's so fun to shop for little girls... all their little dresses, their itsy-bitsy bathing suits, their smaller then palm-sized shoes...sooo adorable you want to squeal when you see them hee hee.

It's time to make traveling plans. My friends are all surprised I haven't been on a plane since March lol! In six years, I might not make executive platinum for the first time because I've moved to a city I enjoy spending time here. Oh well, I have enough miles to burn so no biggie to make e.p for next year. I will miss the free international upgrades however :s

Of course we're still house-hunting. It's my day-job lol - well practically! It hasn't been very fruitful but it's been fun (and not-so-fun) to check out modern houses built in crappy areas or awesome neighborhoods filled with houses for sale that are not really our style... oh well, we're in no hurry... just waiting to find the right house for us eventually.

Haven't got much else to report other than things are well on this end. Life is good and I sure am in no position to complain :)

Some People...

I don't know about you guys out there but don't some people just rub you the wrong bloody way!? I recently met this person and I practically disliked her instantaneously. Hmmm... maybe it's a Singaporean thang... but aiyoh, I just didn't like her face! Worst, I met her whole family and even family irks me!

Anywayz, I just had to say it online 'coz well, this is my 'diary' and even though I can't say her name, hahaha this time I can't even say her name sounds like blah blah blah after the last incident in Memphis when the person totally realized it was her I was talking about LOL and threatened to sue me - PUH-LEESE! Of course that post is still up there dumbass!!

But yeah, I just wanted to 'remind' me some time from now, that this person did come into my life and I've willfully kicked her out :) She might not know it but her emails are all unread and deleted. Well she'll know it soon enough muahahaha!

Ok, maybe this might give some of you a hint - I jdislike calculative, narrow minded fools with no sense of humor!

The Weekend's Over!

So while I agonized the entire last two weeks wondering how badly our Singapore-style National Day potluck event was gonna' turn out, Saturday, August 9 came and went by with a blink of an eye. ...and let me tell 'ya, I'm relieved I not only survived it, I think most people actually had fun!

Having moved from a city with three Singaporeans, it's a breath of fresh air to see a room full of more than 50 of us celebrate a day only we, Singaporeans, can appreciate. Of course, I can't say before this event, I'd ever had the patriotism to attend a national day parade or did it even excite me in the least bit - ok, the bank holiday part was nice lol.

I must say, I couldn't have done it without the help of my the husband, Connie, her husband and of course, the organizers on the msft side. It was SO nice to see some of the wives bring a bunch of food too! Connie and I were thrilled since Kevin convinced us nobody on their side would bring any lol. The trivia game ran by Kelvin was a highlight and even I could answer a couple of questions and won a prize! :D

My family and friends from out of state all believed I was insane to even want to risk organizing anything for a bunch of people who might not appreciate the effort; but hey, what's life without a small gamble. At the end of the day, I saw my members, met news ones and even met nice people from the Microsoft side! Hopefully they kept their name tags and check out our meetup group's site so we can all keep in touch without having to do a huge combine thingy again... it's just no fun dealing with that many people - Singaporeans just don't mingle well.

I am, however, curious about the bunch of people (Singaporeans, I presume) who came, didn't even say a quick 'hi', went in line, ate and left. I know I should have said something but what!? 'Hello? This is not a free buffet'...but I suppose in some way, it was lol! Oh well... there will always be ugly Singaporeans around... they're everywhere. I mean, ugly folks... what's feeding a couple LOL!
