Happy New Year!

Hope everyone had a great new year - mine was spent chillin' at home.

Well my two weeks of being a "tai tai" are over and I'm back in the office. Been a little busy the first few days what with clearing filing, catching up with work, new work policies (some of which are supposedly to make our life easier but actually don't) and just trying to get back into the flow of work. My sleep timing has been totally screwed up though hahaha but I think it's starting to get used to waking up early again but then here comes the weekend.

Here's an account of my life as a "tai tai"

First week

Most days were spent going out shopping - had to get christmas pressies - and hanging out with Yass and others. Had 2 office lunches to go to, one was firm wide and another was just for my department - very nice, very free hahahaha buffet too! Spent the 2 days before Christmas at home though relaxing given that Christmas day itself was going to be pretty long for me. Got up early and went to church with my dad and then later in the afternoon went over to my sister's place for turkey dinner.

Watched a couple of movies while I was out - The Promise and The History of Violence - sadly they were both pretty crappy!!! The Korean and Chinese vcds I bought were way better. Yes that's my latest craze now hehehehe watching Korean, Japanese and Chinese movies/series. I'm actually hoping to improve my Mandarin so that I can watch my Taiwan series without having to rely on reading English subtitles. Have also been listening to more Chinese music these days...right now my faves are 5566, 183 Club and 7 Flowers. Actually there's a guy in 5566 I like, he's also in 183 Club and also acts in one Taiwan series that I absolute love. His name is Sam Wang Shao Wei...here's what he looks like...



Second week

Most of this week was spent relaxing at home with short visits to Causeway Point (the mall near my home) - mainly to get some movies and cds - with a couple of trips to JB for a spot of shopping. Went once with my friend from work, Julie and once with Yass. Bought a couple of movies while I was over there (not pirated ones the genuine stuff!). Some things are way cheaper over there. I managed to get the original Star Wars trilogy dvd box set for RM40 (S$18) which is a major bargain given that it costs S$100 here! Also got some Korean movies for like RM9 (S$4) each. Also managed to get the dvd set for one Japanese series I like. I've only managed to find the vcd set here but it doesn't come with English subtitles but this dvd set did and it only cost RM33 (S$14.85)!!! I think it's pretty worth it for the 30 min journey it takes me to get over there from my place - luckily traffic wasn't that bad each time we went. I think I'll be going to JB quite often in the future, maybe I'll take a monthly or quarterly trip hahahaha, I'll just take a day off work and pop over during the week so as to avoid the weekend crowds.

Right gotta get back to work now...gab later if I can
