3 월 언제 와요?

저는 3 월 파리 과 런던에 관광합니다. 아주 흥분어요. 쇼핑! 백화점! 박물관! 맛있다 음식!

나는 1 월과 2 동안 아팠어요. 아버지가 병원에​​ 셋일 입원. 남편의 할머니 우리에게 남겨 주신.

휴식 싶습니다. 불행한 일들을 잊어.

(Can't wait to leave on my trip to London n Paris. I was sick during Jan and Feb. Dad was hospitalised for three days. Kevin's grandma left us.

I hope all unhappy events will end at this point.)

What sort of people piss me off?

Those who do not respect others.

Not that I came up with a cure for AIDS that I deserved a great deal amount of respect from all, but, in general, to live together harmoniously, I vehemently believe in respecting one another. I met this mother from a kiddy birthday party last Saturday. She saw Kevin and approached him for a chat (they met before). Note that before she approached him, he was talking to me and Z.

This ill-mannered mother ignored Z and I totally, no eye-contact, no self-introduction, no acknowledgement, and totally ill-mannered. That twit completely pissed me off.
I could not fathom, was she from Mars, or her mother did not teach her basic courtesy, I repeat, BASIC courtesy. And I wondered how is she going to instill good manners in her rowdy kids. Since she did not respect me, I decided to talk to Z, cutting the conversation between her and Kevin, sort of to give her another chance to acknowledge Z and I. Somehow, it didn’t work on her, as it always worked on other human beings. Anyway, she scoot off shortly after.

Kevin told me that she is a housewife, and probably that explained her low emotional intelligence (below national average, I think). Not that I wanted criticize on housewives, but I have to say that sometimes they were so used to living in their own world that they forgot the existence of other human beings apart from their husbands and kids, maids not included. A full day of chores, nothing about themselves, but the family, it is inevitable that they forget to say “hi” to their dying-for-attention-neighbours. While, on the other hand, I have to applaud the courage of these housewives. They decided to give up their social lives for the sake of unloving husbands, and eventually unloving kids turned adults. I have full respect for them.

Perhaps I should ask myself if I am willing to give myself up totally for such huge scarification before I demand a “hello” from the friendly housewives.

In this context of housewives, I am referring to hardcore housewives, not tai-tais.

생일 파티

오늘 아들의 친구가 생일. 우리는 두 가지 선물을 준비해요.

우리는 생일 파티에 집 앞에 있어요. 아이 많아요, 아들은 행복입니다. 내? 저는 음식을 먹어요. 케이크가 아주 크다! 우리는 생일케이크가 먹습니다.

남자가 파티에서 풍선을 불고. 아들은 power ranger풍선을 있어요.

(Today was T's birthday. We prepared two presents. The parents hosted her birthday party at the club house. Many kids were invited and Z had lots of fun!
The cake was huge and they engaged a man for balloon sculpturing. Z got his blue power ranger balloon.)

The Yearly Better-Late-Than-Never Review

I realised that I have not been blogging seriously. Not that the entries were ever serious. Majority of them are in fact, rattling screed.

Jan and Feb were two extremely productive months for me. My year end festive mood was dampen because I flew to HK/SZ on 2 Jan for work. Who said earning money was easy for me? I took up parergon that I ended up having a full plate for the entire last year.

When I returned, I was plagued by sickness -- I vomited, had diarrhea, and fever that lasted for a week. On top of that, I had to work from home to make sure my team met the deadlines.

The rest of the Jan and early Feb were buried in work and more work. Just when I thought life gonna get better, because I managed to hire another staff, I fell ill again. Vomited and diarrhea.

The only good thing out of the month of Feb? Not on my birthday, but a few days ago where I finally bought my vacation tickets -- 3rd annual Paris shopping trip cum sightseeing trip to London.

Well, it's been Feb, I was too burned out that I did not even look back at what I archived in the year 2011. Anyway, they were probably not significant or exceptionally impressive. All I could remember was how many projects I completed.

Oh well, let's test my memory.
- Toured Europe, HK, Korea, Jakarta
- Promoted to lead Asia
- Owned another Birkin (Obviously, trying to add more lines under the achievement list)
- Fell hopelessly in love with 현빈
- Met my 오빠 in person!
- Learn Korean
- WP won Aljunied (I volunteered for them, does it count?)

I didn't achieve much this year in terms of building up my assets or along the line of "increasing wealth". So what's up for 2012?

I sincerely, note sincerely wish for the following.

- Holiday to London, Paris, Korea, Disneyland (with Ziv) and other adhoc trips. I kind of addicted to last minute trip, they are so damn exciting.
- Can I take back all the money I invested?
- Meet up with my 오빠 in person again (suggested meet up gestures include hugging and a light peck on his cheek please)
- Pass my Korean TOPIK test in Sept.
- Can I buy one more apartment, please?
- Change the car. It's time, the current one is going to two years, my dear.
- Lose more fats, cut down my cholesterol.
- Start yoga again.
- More community work.

I will leave my plan for work out just in case this piece of screed gets two hundred more lines.
