untitled

ran out of things to say, i guess i will just talk about the jolt of excitement that keeps on rushing in whenever the thought of finally going back home pass my mind. two weeks to go. i started buying stuff for friends and relatives. my credit card application has finally been accepted. that's perfect for shopping back home. i know that its heaps expensive to buy things here. so i will spend my holiday shopping and traveling. i hope i could go to places i never been before (i.e., palawan, baguio, iloilo). i hope i could also go to ilocos too.

just finished my IELTS finally. feeling confused if i should push through with my residency here. the thing is i can't say that i have made a firm decision of staying. its still 50-50. what are the factors to consider? for one, i wouldn't want to work crazy hours in my previous job. quality of life is good here but who to spend it with? yeah i have my friends here but they still haven't fully decided to stay either. i am definitely enjoying my job. it seems that the only consideration is it really really doesn't feel like home. i know that i've been here for more than a year but it just hard to fully adjust your thoughts on settling in.

hopefully, the idea of going home for a month would help me think about if i can really make it. i wish i could. i reckon i should. but still i am opening possibilities of another career too. lets just see what happens...

expat bbq event -

beer. bitter in most countries like czech but still it all sums up to good times! tried mahou from spain and sagres from portugal. good thing most expats really liked the taste of san miguel. they cant even describe it!! they say its unique..

i reckon eating it with suchada's chicken wings and loreto's chorizo makes it all gooood. then taste some pastries from portugal and some german lollies to finish it all up! had a wonderful time. too bad im not into footy.. but when im in the mood ill try to join u guys!

dropped the bomb and dreaming away

After tedious process of client scrutinising our report, finally its finished. I've dropped the bomb to Paris. I feeeeel so happy... fulfilled... relieved...and I just want to celebrate all week long!

We went to a Malaysian resto awhile ago (just cant remember the name) but its on top of bars in Darling Harbour. The dinner was fabulous. Then we ended up dessert in Lindt Chocolate Cafe. As usual I had a scoop of 70% splendid ice cream. The last time I recall I had it when Renee was still around. Damn, I miss those times. We don't have money to spend for shopping much so we just have this scoop of ice cream. With $4.50, problems solved!

Time flies so fast and the rain is pouring heavily. Its 1am and surprisingly I am not drunk. But lets see about it tomorrow. Its seems like its beginning to be become a saturday night habit but its worth it. Never had so much fun before! Its gonna be wild, I reckon. wohoo!

Tomorrow's gonna be an Expat BBQ event (in mid-afternoon) - I think I have to buy heaps of San Mig for my colleagues to have a taste of the best beer we can offer! i also have tons of things to buy. Endless shopping list for my giveaways when I go back home after less than a month from now. So I may need to go to DFO in the morning. - a really hectic weekend for me!

Can't help but think of how I'm gonna spend my time when I go home. But its gonna be so fast that I would end up worrying about going back to reality once I'm there. But then again, I have to accomplish what my purpose is. I have to save! save! save! then probably, travel! travel! travel!!!! hahaha

Awhile ago I was talking with my manager originally from Portugal. And I am amazed by her stories of her European tour. How I wish I could taste what different countries would offer in terms of cuisine and tours. Know more about the Western history. And of course deplete my savings (for which I still need to establish). I was also thinking of going to Japan for a secondment. hopefully we are entitled to it. Arrgggh... So much things boggling my mind at this time!

Prolly just need to doze of... and I'll just dream my dreams.
