Took the day off
Yup I took the day off from work today - well I do have like 41 days of leave on the books, 20 of which I have to clear by the end of the year so I might as well take a day here and a day there.
Met up with Julie at about 11.30 am and went over to JB (Johor Bahru, Malaysia) for a spot of Chinese New Year shopping but in the end all I got was a few dvds, shampoo (cos it's like 1/2 the price there thanks to the exchange rate) and some shrink plastic - stuff that you can print on and then pop into the toaster oven which causes the plastic to shrink and harden, good for making your own key chain ornaments etc. When I get round to actually using it I'll post some pics. Didn't get any new year goodies cos it was all a little pricey, even with the exchange rate.
Got home around 3.30 - 4 pm. Helped my mom to clean her a/c (she was saying that it only seems to be blowing hot air) - vacuumed the filters - that usually does the trick with mine.
Right now I'm watching tv while blogging and surfing the net on BaoBei. I'm checking out this great site/forum that I came across that has all sorts of craft and sewing ideas with quite a few tutorials too. Found some really nice bag designs there too. The name of the site is
Craftster. As for what's on the tv, I'm watching this local Chinese series (thank goodness for subtitles) which is sort of a drama but more like a comedic romance story called "Happily Ever After" - here's the
link for it. Quite funny actually and it's got a couple of my fave local actors in it. Wish I had thought to record it, oh well.
Well seeing as I now have BaoBei I thought I'd better make better use of her and blog every day, even if I have a boring day lol.
Well back to watching tv and surfing oh and coughing up half my lungs...got a terrible chest cough thanks to this flu bug that's been going round...didn't have a fever and a very slight cold but had a slight sore throat which has now developed into a cough but the cough mixture I'm taking now is helping to bring up the icky mucus stuck in my lungs so I should be getting over it soon. Give me fever, give me sneezing just don't give me a cough - it's the thing I hate the most!!!
