2 months done, 4 to go....

For this project, that is! Time sure does shoot by pretty fast. It seems like I just started on this project yesterday, and then...what do you know? It is already 2 months over!

Would you believe, I got a pretty decent offer for my lovely little Toyota Sera! And I am still undecided as to what to do. So how lah??? Hmmmmm, I think if Husband and I decide that we are going to be in SG long term, then it makes sense to sell her otherwise she will sit there and fall to pieces. BUT, if we decide we are going to go back home to KL soon (well, by early next year at latest), then I won't sell her, as I will need her when we are back in KL. I guess we will have a clearer picture of what our plans are come July/August, so I shall have to ask the very keen buyer to hold on till then AND, at the same time, tell him to keep his eye on Motor Trader in case he is lucky enough to find another Sera for sale before then. OK, that is a decision made :-D

What else has been happening? Well, it is the end of a 3-day weekend, and it has been hectic but fun. Husband and I went on a Gold Class movie binge on Saturday - SG $120 for the two of us to see 2 movies: Made of Honour and Ironman. Made of Honour was kinda cute - very much a Patrick Dempsey vehicle - but enjoyable enough... and SCOTLAND, at least from what was shown in the movie, is GORGEOUS. Which, of course, meant that I started bugging Husband again to take me to Scotland (where he was brought up), as I have never seen the place! Ironman was pretty good too - quite intense at parts and quite funny at parts, and even though I am not particularly a Robert Downey Jr fan, I enjoyed his portrayal of Ironman. And, of course, I am a fan of Marvel comics anyway, so that helped pre-dispose me favourably to the movie! Next up: Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, Get Smart, and Prince Caspian: The Chronicles of Narnia. All opening before end May, so a feast of movies coming up!

Apart from that, life has been continuing peacefully enough. Both Husband and I are busy at work, and usually quite tired by the time we get home... so weekends are very much a catch up on rest time for us. Husband is snoozing even as I type this :-D

That's it for now folks, and, till next time, have a good life.

Phew!!

Yep, this week has been a bit of an overload. Daily meetings starting first thing in the morning and lasting through till evening, with rather frustrating results every day. Sigh... I HATE meetings that drag out like that and end up with no coherent, usable results, and a lot of frustration as well.

Never mind, it is finite... and I still have a great bunch of people that I work with. My boss is here for three week from the Netherlands, which is good too, and a lot of paperwork to keep up with.

Our house in KL got broken into - but thank GOD my parents were A-OK - other than the shock to the system to know that someone was walking around the house while they were sleeping. Such a violation of privacy! Did we lose anything. Yes, I guess so - one watch (not worth much), a whole lot of junk jewellery (not worth anything), and a 4+ year old 40" plasma TV - but the idiots took the TV without the set-top receiver box so they have a TV that they wont be able to get working. There was no physical sign of a break in, and the front door was still locked and bolted, and our contractor (an OLD friend) confirmed that there was no break in via the roof - as we had changed the roof to remove the tiles and replace with ColorBond which is literally screwed/nailed onto the frame, so you cant just lift it and get in. My folks got the police in, and the cops apparently said that on the front french window grilles, there was one missing grille bar (which has been missing for some time), and apparently it is big enough for a slim adult to get through. And, to make it easier, the french windows themselves are usually left unlocked because it is difficult to lock them. So, it IS possible that the windows were pushed open (they are quiet), and someone got in via the gap in the grille.... took the TV, walked out through the front door, went back in, locked the front door, and went back out through the grille, sliding the windows shut. THEORETICALLY possible....

Anyway, all locks throughout the house have been changed, the grille fixed... and hopefully there will be no repeat. Hmmm, must see if I can persuade my parents to move out of the house to a secure condo - easier for them to manage than that TOO large house, and far safer too!

Have a good life everyone!

Life in Sinjapoh

Now well into the 2nd month of my new job - and still enjoying it. Learning more, and finding out that I am so woefully ignorant :-D. A lot of frustrations for some of the staff and, unfortunately, the frustrations will continue for a while more. Long term the future looks great for this company, but everyone will have to go through more headaches before it gets to that part. Husband still as busy as ever too - up to his eyeballs in work!

Yesterday was anniversary #9 for us :-) and it was definitely the best 9 years of our lives. Still honeymoon mode, and looking forward to the next 30 years, give or take a few years! Today is a public holiday. We were out the whole morning, running errands, and now at home, feet up, relaxing. Too hot today to do anything energetic!

We go bowling on a regular basis now. Every Wednesday evening, usually with another couple who are good friends of ours. Lot of laughs (the way we play, you GOT to laugh!). Did quite well last night though. Played 7 games, and averaged out at around 150, with high game of 186 and low game of 123 (and that was the LAST game by which point I was too tired to bowl with any energy!).

Nothing else exciting to report... so, till next time, have a great life!
