Donkey blues?

If Nov was busy busy.. Dec is just yucky at work.. softie moi can't seem to deny all the aunties their leave.. think i overgranted leave.. tits the nature of the work.. in a month where traffic peaks.. it hard for staff to go on leave.. guess its my fault too.. i misculculated and should have been more prudent.. Oh well.. been praying real hard that things will turn out well..think my boss's gonna hit the roof.. hate doing manpower deployment.. yet i wanna go into HR.. silly old moi..

Is there a blanket that i can cover myself with and pretend that nothing happened? Aiz.. 14 more days till the end of my stint.. guess its a good lesson learnt..albeit at a great price.. dun think my apprasial will be that great..hee.. oh well.. hope things will be better in Jan.. new beginnings..new year.. and i asked the dear one.. will i be a failure if i never get promoted in my entire life? and he says.. its okay.. impt is you be good wife! Hee... the girly and slack me simply melted.. but the headstrong me still laments and worries.. my gut feel is that if i stay with the org.. i will prob end up being an average performer.. no passion for the job.. and no guts to move on.. wonder if i will look back in rectrospect 30 years from now and regret not taking action? haiz.. wonder if my investments will reap wonderful returns so that i can retire early and open a cafe..

Not in much of a holiday mood till this crisis is over.. and am still thinking whether i should join Hui and Han in Phuket.. really gotta save..

Time flies

Wow.. before I noe it.. am back from Siem Reap .. when to the co's dnd and had lots of photos taken.. spent nearly a fortune on my hair with rebonding and 5 treatments package course..and even had another mini vacation at Sentosa. Really luv Sokha hotel which I stay in at Siem Reap.. the hotel is new.. the spa is great.. the splurge was worth it mah.. think im becoming addicted to 5 star hotels.. opps.. even Rasa Sentosa which i just stay at on Sentosa was great.. can still remember the yummy strawberries from the breakfast and the platter of kueh which was in the room when we checked it.. and of course.. the breathtaking seaview from our balcony windows and the lavender toiletries provided.. luxury.. hee.. guess occasional spending is food for the soul.. hmm.. can't do it often though.. not good for overall financial health.. ;p

The dear one brought me to Il lido at Sentosa Golf Club for fine Itallian dining.. the meal was my most expensive ever.. but worth it.. We had pan fried groose liver which melts in your mouth.. lobster linguini .. diver scallopes.. beef and chocolate pudding with raspberry sorbet.. the sorbet is simply refreshing.. and my white wine was good too..yum..nearly $150 per pax.. ouch! The poor dear! And he brought me a bottle of Chanel's Chance perfume which i mentioned that i liked.. the silly one.. and a photo book of pictures of us which he made himself..so touched i am.. really.. and of course.. the shiny destinee bling which took most of his bonous.. the silly silly one.. im a lucky gal.. really.. appreciate the effort and thought.. though its a once in the life time thingy.. beautiful memories.. is wat i'll be..

hee... must really save in 2007 .. ;)
