The upcoming crib
I’m quite tired of counting beans and trying to put thoughts across but each time I do it becomes a quarrel. I reckon sometimes maybe, less is best. The less one says the better. As much as I try to prevent a quarrel it always ends up that way. I tried to learn to be more communicative but perhaps it is just not for the better. There are loads whom I can chat (but unfortunately did not as much as I could after devoting much attention towards an unappreciative entity) without ending in a fight which is really the last thing I need after a long day at work. It is not something I would rather spend time on contrary to what some may think. I should marvel our uncanny ability to start one after finishing whatever is left for the day and allocate the remaining time for quarrels.If I wanted to count beans, there are loads I wanna do too but put off too cause I thought it didn’t and shouldn’t matter as much. I have learnt, the key word here is ‘thought’. Assume and it makes an ass of u and me.
On a lighter note, things are heating up with my hdb purchase. The first appointment and subsequent hunting for ideas and furniture. Rach and I have somewhat of an idea on what to do which we will probably run through during the CNY period. Oh wait, most shops are closed right? That’s fine, I will manage the whole project anyhows to the way I can. First major project. Daunting yet exciting! Can’t wait!
I will also be looking at the insurance mei mei has and re-evaluate if it is feasible for me to up some portions of my policy, probably in critical illness and a term insurance to cover and protect my income earning years. I have accquired a skill to hedge against job loss and it is something I can do as long as my brains and eyes are working but let’s see how I can further hedge against such a risk in a reasonable manner. I promised to get it done this week and I will.
I’m chatting with Vic on the other window and he asked if I have any travel plans. Gee… you know it is like dangling a carrot in front of a hungry bunny! To think he is thinking of heading to Japan! *grumbles* I think one should be planned, so the appropriate budget can be set aside for it. I shall try not to illtreat myself too much. Perhaps a compromise for somewhere regional would be alright. Bali? Batam?I’ve got the links from mei mei!
I will chart the progress of my house acquisition from day 1 till move in day and subsequently the days thereafter. Think it will be easier to add a new category. Not quite sure how it works but it is easier to reference all posts in the category one shot?
Have a good remaining week everyone!

it’s amazing how quarrels just pop up at a time of the day when we’re most irritable too i reckon (for me at least).it’s exhausting and really sapping but i think people who look at us think we are made to quarrel with others which is utter bullshit.
i think the things that keep me on track and trying to divert away my attention from the nuisances of a relationship is your/our crib preparation (: as well as organising school and stuff for Q3
flipping through magazines (i will be buying the monthly issues of my fave mag,home&deco and digging up last issues for us to get ideas),and telling myself life there will be a more peaceful one.
up to this point,batam is still uncertain for me no thanks to someone.but i have got the prices and the links.booking is just a short phone call away.give yourself the allowance to take off for a while dai kor,come back recharged to work our way through the reno/doing up of the crib (:
if anyone around me most deserves a trip,it’s you.

don’t buy magazines la! we go keppel see… but u gotta realize im not gonna have teak wood or wadever atas thing right LOL.
i cant leave during this period cause i have 2 incoming and 2 outgoing team members. my boss is right. being involved is a trait of mine. i have very high demands of myself. the day i begin to detach myself from what’s going around in here, is the day where i will consider leaving. once i have done so and decided i will not look back.

don’t worry,i got tons of home deco mags from collecting on and off in perth and sg (: just need to be more up to date for fresh ideas.
as it seems,i am horribly busy with the handover and assuming new roles and responsibilities.sigh.i don’t know what’s with myself but i’m determined to exceed clients’ and my own expectations hereonin.
