No more online shopping!

Boo hoo! A$ exchange rates have become so dismal that I cannot do anymore online shopping! :( No more browsing for stuff on Ebay & Etsy. Even the S$ is stronger right now.

So sad

Today I happened to find out that the cutest cat in the world died recently while looking at some of his owner's photos on Flickr. It made me cry (a bit) even though I was at work because I know how terribly sad it is to have something so dear leave you forever so suddenly. Whenever I see his funny pics I wished I had a cat like that. My heart goes out to his companion Beibei and of course his owners.

Being VERY happy

These past few days Bobbers has been in a very happy mood in the morning. Binkies abound whenever we let her run around the room when we wake up. I cannot imagine how it is like to feel so happy that you have to jump in the air with delight. But it is a real joy to watch :)

End of a time

It's been 2 long years and it is now the end of my time at the workplace I've been at since I got here. I've gone through being lonely there, to having a great bunch of people to work with, to seeing them all leave one by one and now it's my turn to go. At this point, I've learnt a great deal and there isn't really anyone I am sad to leave so that is a good thing.

Looking forward to taking a break now before I go in search of another new "adventure"!

Bye bye seat!

Happy New Year!

Another year has passed quickly by and it is now 2007. We spent the New Year countdown in my office photographing fireworks and not in the crush of people down in the city.

It's a rather quiet day here in the city but tomorrow life will be back to normal again for me. It will be back to work officially after more than a month of break! A new chapter for work as well because one of my colleagues (who has been a great help to me) has left the company and it will possibly be different without her around.

A pre-birthday lunch

Had lunch today with colleagues to celebrate my birthday (coming up on Sunday!). Well the fact that the manager for our team would organise a lunch for my birthday is quite enough to make me happy :) A year ago, I was feeling quite out of place at work and despite it taking me a long time to fit in somewhat, it does look like I haven't done too badly :D

Thought for the day

"The time to relax is when you don't have time for it."

First work anniversary

It has been one year since I started working after getting here. Many things have changed since the time I used to feel lonely being at work. It did take me a rather long time but now I am somewhat settled in and sometimes I even enjoy being there. The correct mix of people appearing at a correct point in time sometimes does help make your life change for the better. Of course there are problems coming in other forms (who ever said life would run entirely smoothly...) but on the whole, at least I have survived one year! :D
