Changing Title

Actually this is not the first time my salutations changed. Lol

Once, it changed for professional reasons. This time, it's for marital status.

What is the difference?

Well, firstly, my hubby calls me Mrs. now.

Secondly, I have in-laws which I feel more responsible too now.. sigh..

Thirdly, we have not hold our typical-Chinese-wedding dinner yet and haven't moved into our home together. So technically, we aren't husband-wifey yet... lol

With more workload, planning a wedding, planning & furnishing a house, working on strengthening our relationship... I pray God will find a way for me to grow closer to Him too...

In the meantime, it's so surreal. The idea of marriage haven't sunk in yet...

p.s. I have to wear my ring or somebody won't wear his.. AHEM

Working Hazards

I remember laughing when I saw this article.

But it is a working hazard when work done gets messed up again and you have to redo it... you feel like this.

 

Then you realised, it's Friday. Leave the work for next week.. :)

But it's public holidays on Monday and Tuesday. Should I bring back some work to catch up...

arghhh.... Stress level increasing, wrinkles growing and the vicious cycle of working hazards creep in..

Happy New Year 2012!

Woah... another year passed and here I am still thinking I'm young, undecided and commitment-free.

Well, this year marks another new decade and chapter in my life. A life of maturity, decisions, commitments and most importantly...

“Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?  So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” (Matthew 19:4-6, KIV)

I haven't had time to list down my new resolutions but I'll off-handedly write my yearly recap of the previous year.

2011 New Milestones
1. Got proposed

2. Become BTB

3. Own another property... lol albeit reluctantly

4. Joined a marathon - even though a 4.5km distance only. Lol

5. Full-time dog sitter

That's all I can think of. :)

Christmas Tree story

My friend, Alina, shared a story of hers about a little Christmas tree and how it brought everyone together. I thought it'll be nice to share and remember this by.

My two friends, A &C, who were working together stumbled upon a little plastic Christmas tree at a bargain. It was about not more than 3 feet height and at an unbelievable price. (hint - maybe the price of a simple mixed meal). RM4.90. Seriously.

They decided to buy it and put it in a corner in the office. In fact, they didn't think about buying decorations yet. One of their colleague dropped by and offered to lend some Christmas decorations. So the tree became slightly lively.

Another colleague offered to buy Christmas lights to decorate the tree.

Then slowly one by one... the little Christmas tree became alive with lovely decorations and lights to bring cheer to dreary offices we usually work in. ;) My friends happily laughed at the fact that their decorations cost more than the Christmas tree and it was sponsored by their colleagues.

***
That was about 5-6 years ago? Lol maybe I should get precise info from the owners of this story.

Not to sure if they put up the tree yearly in their house during these past few years but when they moved out of their house, it was left in storage over at another friend's place.

Till Alina decided to tell her friend to use it and she wasn't even sure if the decoration items were there. In the end, this is how that Christmas tree looked like this year. It was carefully decorate and even perched up higher on another box with the lights wrapping it all the way to the floor.

So the little Christmas tree continues to bring life and joy to others... till next year.. ;)

Post Christmas

Another Christmas passed by....

As usual, everyone thinks Christmas is about the joy of giving, eating and having fun together.
As a festive season, that is very true.
But "technically", it's a time to remember our Lord Jesus Christ too and be thankful for all His favours upon us.

This year, I was co-hosting a mini BBQ and ended up dog-sitting most of the time while neglecting some of my guests. Lol. Will upload some pictures of the food as I didn't take much pictures then.

Like all "parties", there will be an over supply of food and we ended up eating chicken wings for few meals after. The chocolate cake I got from Cold Storage was only eaten about a quarter. Candy canes I bought for kids were untouched and now distributed to colleagues in the office.

Presents still lay untouched and the Christmas tree still blinks happily in the living room. I dropped by a shopping mall yesterday and heard Chinese New Year songs all over...

How is your post Christmas?

Meanwhile, what is you New Year resolution and plans? Usually I avoid New Year celebrations like a plague because I am fearful of congestion and traffic (vehicles and humans alike). I wonder, should I dare to take the risk this year? Hmphh..

p.s. Will share a food review for Christmas dinner instead... it was simple, delicious and most importantly, no gluttony from overeating! ;)

Google: Let it Snow

OMG... this is so cute.. look what Google came out with this time.

Go to your browser and open google search.
Type in "Let it snow".

Then your screen will start snowing and fogs up your screen. You can draw over it like on a fogged up window. Then click defrost to make it back to normal.

Kudos to Google for a white Christmas mood! ;) Enjoy! Keep those creative ideas coming. I always love looking at your Google Doodle!

I drew a smile face here... lol!
