It has been a pretty stressful week at work until today which was eerily quiet and boring. On the plus side I now have an office buddy who seems relatively normal and speaks really good English. Tomorrow should be a good day at work as there is a whole group of people from work going out to lunch and we are going somewhere really nice (that should ( Read more... )

I am completely baffled - I have spent two days looking for a plain black bra at 3 different shopping centres and about a dozen different shops. I have not been able to find a bra that isn't padded in some way. I understand that if people with smaller chests are purchasing a bra they might like the idea of padding - however I am sure that most ( Read more... )

Yesterday was fun in a guilty sort of way - any spending I did I blame Martin for not being here to be my shopping conscience. The most amusing part of the day came when the first thing I bought was the one thing that I had promised Martin I wouldn't buy - a handbag! But when I see the perfect handbag I just have to buy it (especially when it is on ( Read more... )

Martin left last night for Auckland - I presume he got there ok as I haven't heard anything. I spent last night doing girly things like reading gossipy mags and painting my nails. Today I am going shopping - I am still looking for a bridesmaid dress. I still have 12 weeks before I leave for Auckland and 4 shopping days in Auckland before the ( Read more... )

I came pretty close to crying several times at work today. I think the papercut incident almost pushed me over the edge ( Read more... )

Last weekend was great - we could the bus to KL on Saturday morning and spent the next couple of days shopping, drinking margaritas, eating yummy food and watching sports. We came back with our wallets substantially lighter but ourselves substantially heavier thanks to all the food and drink. We made our wallets even lighter when we went shopping ( Read more... )

So much to talk about but so little energy. It might have something to do with my 6:30 start at work this morning. So I think I will do a proper update when I regain some energy over the weekend - then I can tell you all about our brand new LCD TV...

It has been a pretty good weekend in Kuala Lumpur. I am updating this from our hotel room - the internet is a bit unreliable but hopefully this should post ok. After a crappy week at work it was nice to know that I was heading away for the weekend. Our weeekend away didn't start off too well on Saturday after we had to spend an hour in the bus just ( Read more... )

Today was not a good day - I managed to crash my work computer to the point that it is completely comatose. I am hoping that the IT people will come tomorrow and revive it with minimum fuss. This meant I had a quiet afternoon without any email distraction - but considering my job is almost entirely reliant on that particular form of communication ( Read more... )

I don't know why offices in Singapore insist on having the air conditioning on ridiculously low temperatures. When it is 35 degrees outside and the temperature inside the office is 22 degrees it really screws you up. Even better is the fact that the air-conditioning is centralised so I can't turn it up. I have a woollen cardigan which I wear EVERY ( Read more... )
