27 bags...

i am totally amused and is still find it unbelievable after hearing this from my boss. imagine my franchisees went for our international conference in orlando and they were more concern with shopping instead of attending the conference break-out sessions that they skipped the sessions! and mind you, we are not talking about a bunch of girls here, but a whole group of guys (ok, 1 of them brought along his wife). anyway, what shocked me more was 1 of them actually bought 26 bags in total (from Cxxxh & Kxxx Sxxxx)! my goodness! craziness. i know US currency is down, these brands are cheaper in US, but 26?. They even tried to get my boss to carry it back for them because he was on business class (which has additional allowance), but he refused! is it me? i know most of us want to take opportunity during business trips for shopping or sight seeing. but shouldn't priority be work? otherwise, just extend for shopping trip? oh well... anyway, the joke of my team now is for me to target 27 bags purchase in my next conference. and my boss said he will carry for me! LOL! haha!

asset or liability

hmmm.... i haven't really put much thought about owning a property and was sort of putting it back as i can only buy an hdb when i reach 35 (yes, it is hard being a single gal in this tiny red dot). so everytime i receive a brochure or see an ad of new property launches, it will just be thrown aside.

last week, one of such brochure landed at my door and somehow i took a second look. not sure if it is the location (didnt know there was such a new property near my place), but something caught my eye and was chatting with my sis that we should just go take a look for fun. what surprise me next was me taking the next step to call the agent and arrange for the vvip preview of the showflat!

it is then i realised my restriction locations (yes, unfortunately i am so comfortable in my "atas" district that I don't think i want to move away) makes it an expensive thought. but on the other hand, it is precisely of the location that it will be a good investment.

so out of the blue, i am suddenly thrown in the frenzy of trying to find out more about buying properties, loans, freehold vs 99yr, sqft etc....

don't get so excited friends... just looking... everything i like is above a million! how? should it be my asset or end up being my liability

late night cravings

staying up late is dangerous for the tummy!!!

keeping myself awake for liverpool's europa match and just kept thinking that my mouth is itching for some titbits. just ate an orange, but doesn't seems to satisfy. should i or should i not open the pack of chips?

drink water... drink water... drink water... hopefully it will fill my stomach to make me stop thinking abt the chips!

makeover

when life gets monotonous, you just feels that you need to do something drastic to zest it up! that's exactly what i did! a makeover, i decided... on my blog!!!

maybe it was to attempt to get me writing again, maybe i was just bored. but i thought i could give my blog a new look and hopefully more inspiration to come here more often than the "evil" distraction from facebook...

so hope you like the new look... :)

weather against me

these days, the weather seems to go against me!

it is always so hot & humid when i am working at home. so just when you think that the sun will stay that way and decide to wash your towels or jeans, the thunder will strike and rain pours the moment the washer is done!

gosh... back to hanging the towels inside.
