updates

Today marks the first week of my work in ZOM.
I have been looking for a job since oct, but havent been updating much cos there was this joke on jas that i'll be working in perth (its all complicated).
Anyway ya, so i went for several interviews, was offered 3 positions by different companies, and was lucky enough that one of them was a media company, an industry i've always been keen on joining since uni days.

Up to now, things have been pretty slack. The first few days had me flipping magazines and newspapers. I had to ask for training materials from my colleagues to keep myself occupied. I know i will regret typing this, but i hope work will start coming in soon!

Besides the new job, for the month of nov and half of dec, i've been helping dajie with her wedding, from her hen's night to the wedding dinner..tons of photos had been taken, unsorted and posted. Both the ceremony and wedding dinner was great, and i judged that by the happiness and joy present in every single member of the family, and friends (those that i know). The newlyweds are currently off with their honeymoon in Japan, no doubt having great fun while 3 others waiting back excitedly for their return in Singapore.(okie, we got them to get some stuff from japan)

And most of my friends from Perth are back in Singapore. But sadly, 3 VIPS will be staying in Perth for the holidays. One doing his attachment, one stuck because he have to comply with the driving license rules and the other i haven't talked to for sometime, but should have finished her honours by now. I miss u guys terribly, and if not for the horrendous price tagged to the return ticket from Perth to Sg, I would have booked tickets over and spend christmas there.

Christmas is coming and sadly, i have not caught the festive spirit (yet?) My company will be closed for the holidays and visions of taking a short holiday over the xmas or new year period can't seem to visualise due to my financial debts and such. If my pay comes before xmas.. there might be some festive cheer after all

And before i end... i suddenly missed dwijin's cooking.. a lot!

Supposingly Ben & Jerry Chunky Fest

We were suppose to go to the b&j chunk fest yesterday but the weather had other plans for us. Shuqi came along, looking forward to ice cream since morning, waiting patiently for me to wake up.

to the guys, thanks for hanging out with us and your displays of affection for shuqi
somehow, it came across me that in a few years time, we will start bringing our kids out. that's a funny thought
