I was all prepared (bought the supposedly paid-for winter clothing that worth S$400) to go to China for 2 wks in Dec after my 1 wk in KL. A last min call on a friday night stopped/ postponed everything indefinitely. A good thing that I didn't go. As the Hubby was sick from next thursday to after christmas day. I was glad that I was around to take care of him. Kind of feeling like a real adult- I drove him around, cooked porridge, making sure the medications were taken on time.
The main thing was about Driving, driving Confidently. The number of times I drove that few days are more than the total number of times I ever drove since I got my license at 18. If not for his sick looking face on thur night, I wouldn't have volunteered to be our driver. At least before the year ended, I improved driving skills!
I finally succeed in baking some decent edible cookies (as xmas presents for the kids)!!! Though they are abit hard on the 1st bite, they are quite chewable thereafter and I got the taste Right.
After xmas, my job from tue to fri was real work. Not that my KL and JB jobs aren't. Just that they are more of some special nature that probably I will only get to do it around the same time next year if I am lucky again. I was truly glad that I managed to submit it on fri, way before 530pm, though I think I was still quite slow ( My aim was not to bring home to do over the long week end!). After being stuck and not progressing at a desirable rate on thursday night at 1am, I knew I had to try to change my method of working if I want to get it done. After we got back to office on fri (after the closing meeting with client and a nice dim sum lunch treated by the boss), I resumed to my comfortable way of working - printing some info out and to do some stuffs manually using paper and pen. Wala~ I completed my work in 2 hrs!
Finally did something to my hair before this year ended. The last time I perm + cut+ professional treatment for my mildly nourished hair was in Dec 2010 in Seoul. This time round, the dry roots were cut, and I reinforced the curls. Total damage was beyond the original quotation and my budget. But when I got too tired after sitting there for more than 4 hrs + that's the Hubby's regular stylist, I didn't feel like making a big fuss over the payment. If you were to ask me whether my hair was chopped off nicely and whether the perm is good, I would say it looks nothing like the hair that I pointed out in the magazine to the stylist. All I can say is that my hair is long with more defined curls. If this happened few yrs ago, I probably would cry as I paid so much but the effects were unable to WOW me. Now, I just wanna move on to the next thing on my to-do list. As long as my long curly hair is still on my head, with no/ minimal damaged roots, I am a happy girl. =)
Having the table tennis table as part of my place's recreation facilities is a damn good thing! I have big plans of inviting the people whom I wanna invite over, for some fun table tennis games!
Kinda crazy to start making non-bake oreo cheesecake on 2 Jan at 7pm when there is work the next day (I should be relaxing by watching tv/ sleeping early). But I did it anyway. Reason being I managed to get the ingredients required from cold storage and whipped cream + cheese cant be kept for too long (they only have life-span till mid Jan). They are currently sitting in my freezer and they look correct, meaning they do look like oreo cheesecake! I am giving it half more hr and I will pop them into my mouth. Cant wait to try if it is nice!
I may get to see the Hubby when I wake up later and before I depart for work. (His ETA is 555am). =) Can't wait to smell him!
