Life in a foreign land

No special gift

I love to give presents to my loved ones, especially my kids. I will spend some time thinking it over which gifts will bring them joy and fun, and which will be educational toys. But I haven’t received a nice present from hubby, which is really what I want. :( I don’t think he will even use the Personal Creations free shipping code if he knows about them!

I guess I just have to live with it!

Stay at home mom

The only job I have these days are washing and Cooking Jobs, and babysitting. Gosh, I’m back to being a stay-at-home mom again! I can’t do much work when my kids are around, especially since they are so bored with limited toys, books and things to do at the condo.

I wish that the water will subside faster and we will be back to our normal lives again soon.

Evacuation

I saw the evacuation update on twitter and decided to move away from our house. Of course, right now I know that it’s a false alarm but I don’t regret moving out from our mooban. It’s best to stay safe instead of trying to escape when it’s too late.

I didn’t sleep well last night. No amount of body pillows can give me a peaceful night of sleep as my kids had been kicking me!!! Furthermore, I was very worried.

Please pray for Thailand.

Chargers

Should I get aa rechargeable batteries? I really wonder. We hardly use a lot of batteries these days, except for remote controls and clocks. Have the world changed? :P

But we have more chargers at home then before. We have just packed our stuffs and I can’t believe that we have so many charges for so many gadgets!

I shall check all of the chargers and see if they are all needed. I think we have lost some of the gadgets over time. Like an old gameboy? :P

 

Floods

It still rains a lot at some part of Thailand, so most floods have not ceased. Imagine that if the cold season strikes again like last year, a lot of people will be suffering again. Most of them don’t have thick clothing and blankets, let alone heated gloves.

I really hope that these people are blessed with essential help. All of us can donate and do our part too.

Work work work

How many more years should I work so hard until I can shop like a brainless shopaholic who has too much cash to spend? I have a lot of things in my list now, including a few new bags, some jewelry from scott kay and Tiffany, and lots of shoes. Not to mention I want to spoil my kids rot as well.

So, I guess there is no other way than to work work work to achieve this! Or I must strike a lottery!

Drop!

Sales dropped slightly this month, and I’m sooooo unhappy about it. I know that the market has ups and downs, but I prefer to have up up up all the way then donw!!! Nevertheless, I won’t stress myself too much so that I won’t lose my mind and resolve to any nonsense and end up in luxury top rehab centers. :P

I just have to work harder and lead my team better.

Expensive

The cd annuity rates for expat insurance are very expensive. I am not sure if we should get one now. Maybe not at this current stage. I hate to pay a big sum of money and strain our financial situation. So I shall continue to get new quotes if any. It’s not in a hurry anyway, so let me concentrate on those things which are piling up on my plate now!

 

 

Spa

It’s been awhile since I really pamper myself. I hope that I will have time for it after we move into our new condo. There are a lot of spa and massage centers within walking distance, maybe there are some which offer dead sea bath salt in their spa packages. I can’t wait to get a good scrub, body wrap and body massage!

Hey, I deserve it, I have been working very hard this year.

Rushing at Work

Thanks to Olga Quinn

I rushed around all day today. This morning I had a thousand things to do at work. A colleague recently left without giving two weeks notice and I got saddled with all her work. So now I am doing to jobs with the pay of one. After buzzing around the office this morning , I ran home to let the installer from SECURITY CHOICE in the house. When I got home, I planned relaxing while I waited for the system to be installed before I rushed right back to work. Unfortunately, my neighbor two doors down caught me right as we were work. I sat there as she talked, I barely listened, just watched the clock. When the installers were done, I went back to the office. When I got back, I had even more work piling up on my desk. As I dredged through it ( double time) all I could think about was taking a long hot bath with I got home. Finally, I decided I was going to pack up and finish the rest of my work at home. Got halfway there and remembered I had left my laptop on my desk. I need a break!
