Responsibility...

Was reading my sis' blog....

So much anger in her... Dunno how to comment but i guess Sibling Rivalry is always there...

She s jealous of me... PRetty surprised to hear that! A lot of laments abt me and the amount of love my Mum has showered on me....

If my Mum will to hear it, I dunno how she will react. Quoting my Sis' words, i had changed from a "no" gal to a "yes" gal. To me, its a stage... Everyone will have their expectations and dreams etc.. I envy my sis for hvg so much supportive friends around her.... Great working experience & exposure.. She doesnt hv to go thru as much detours as me in terms of work and everything...

Regardless of the sibling rivalry etc, she will always be a sister close to my heart. She has always been the supportive one for me since she has been born.

I could only tell her..... Responsibility is the one. Being the eldest, I have even more expectations from my parents and that comes with heavy responsibility. Growing older means you have to shoulder more responsibility... Regardless of your environment etcc...

Tired....

On Friday, I received my letter of confirmation!!!

Finally!!!! A perm job after 3 years of contract work!

Very tired, went to my new place to do some cleaning up with dear husband. We also went to Ikea to get some storage stuff for our new place... Extremely tired... Was wondering how my Mum managed to get the household so clean?

HoneyMoon Destinations

This question has been posed to me many times, "Where are you heading for your honeymoon?"

My original destination was to visit the Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls and Las Vegas in US. Ever since, dear Hubby's boastful fren announced his intention to visit these places for his honeymoon. It totally put me off..

Everyone will say, y be bothered with such a person and changed your destination? Well, u can say that i m pissed off that someone ripped off my idea of going to Grand Canyon for honeymoon esp if tat someone is someone that you totally DETEST! This boastful fren (NINCOMPOOP) of dear hubby is the typical example of someone trying to make it big but ended up looking like a loser!

After so research and recommendations from my frens, EGYPT will be the destination! Why EGYPT? It has one of the seven wonders of the world, the movie, "Cleopatra" s effect and I had never travelled to North Africa before!

Keeping my fingers crossed that this idea wont get ripped off again by that NINCOMPOOP fren of dear hubby!

Confirmation??????????

3 months has passed in my current co! My confirmation is due but no official word has been received yet... Due to the busy month end closing..... I think if its not for my sane colleagues, I will want to bang my head against the office window & claim MC!

Its pretty stressful during the month end closing... But its challenging, there are always hiccups happening for no reason or so..... Anyway, will keep my fingers crossed for the official letter of confirmation!

Was reading my younger Sis blog just now.... Well.. guess i m really a pain in the ass most of the time... Will try to be a better sis! Hopefully, she does see my effort!

Financial Stress

Here is the things settled

1. Photographer for the wedding album
2. Photographer for the actual wedding ceremony etc
3. Evening gown
4. Accessories for the evening gown
5. Flowers

And there re 1001 things not yet settled for the home & wedding preparation.... Everytime, we tot of getting something for the home or wedding... Both of us will frown coz it spelled $$ and its really a financial stress to us... Thus, we try to save whenever we can...

Gotta give up certain things now...... :(

Japanese Shinkansen vs Malaysia KTM

A month has passed and HK Auntie is going back to HK tomorrow....

Was wondering whether will i be able to send her off at the airport! Today is such a "fruitful" day!

This morn, went to Doris' pl to enjoy her swimming & sauna's facilities, followed by breakfast with her & HK Auntie. After which, we went to Chinatown to have our dimsum lunch...

Then, Lian Ann & me left the restaurant and went to our new place... To settle the protective film.... The installation of the protective film was at least 4 hours ++... Went to hv dinner with my folks while Lian Ann went to his fren's BBQ!

Dinner was with my parents, fat bond, HK auntie, Doris and my 2nd uncle & his wife! In the course of dinner, poor Doris was caught with a call from her client... Doris happened to be on STANDBY this week..... She din really enjoyed her dinner! Poor cousin!

My 2nd uncle's wife aka F Aunt complained to me abt her son aka my cousin, A's renovation. Based on her words, the contractor didn't do a good job and gave a lot of lame excuses for the defects... Mainly to push away all the blame...... Heard from them that A's getting married in Dec 06, that is 1 mth before my customary wedding....

Fat Bond commented that A is taking the Japanese Shinkansen railway system whereas I m taking the Malaysia's KTM railway system. As both A & I got our apartments within a few mths of each other, solemnised our marriage within 1 mth of each other, got our apartments renovated and the BEST part, he is going to hold his customary wedding 1 mth before me! Its like A everything within the span of 6 mths whereas I m still like taking my own sweet time to prepare the stuff....

But, I asked Fat Bond this qn, "Who is more stressful, me or A?" The obvious answer is A. These few days that i seen him, he looked so bogged down by the issues that he had for his wedding & home renovation.... Heard from my uncle that his home renovation cost him approx SG$40K, his furniture & electrical appliances another SG$20k... All in all, a whopping SG$6ok within a period of 6 mths! I guess A din know that there is so much $$ in all these!

I sounded like I m gloating, the truth is I m pissed off with him... Like trying to outdo me..... I mean I had told all my family & relatives abt my wedding date... Now, its so unfortunate that my 2nd Uncle cant attend mine and he s a fave uncle of mine! :(

Quoting Mum's words, "Its fated that we cant attend each others' children's wedding!" Poor Mum! I know she wants her siblings all by her side at my wedding! Just pray hard that everything works out fine!

Mixed Feelings...

Today is the last working day of my new colleague, Eddie.. He has been my neighbour coz he s the one sitting besides me!

Pretty enjoy working with him coz he has an unusual sense of humour plus he is always ever ready to assist me in work issues! I kept on teasing him that I will miss him once he left the co! I guess i will definitely miss him! ALL THE BEST, Eddie!

I m having mixed feelings coz my dept is having 100% staff turnover since I had been in this co for 1mth++... And with so many deadlines coming up, I really dunno whether I can tide over this period....

All the best to moi too!
