My trip is fixed and confirmed! So, pls let be stay healthy before, during and at least immediately after the trip (Hee!)
Wow, these days specky can be so expensive. Yesterday, finally went to get my Swiss Flex spectacles done, hopefully it will be ready, in time for my trip.
Guess how much it cost me? $878!! OMG! Can you believe that? Partly due to the frame. The original price of this Swiss Flex frame is $350 but was given a discount of $180. Why specifically Swiss Flex? Because the frame is very light and supposedly hypo-allergic. It will be good for my sensitive skin. On top of that, my lens is not cheap either. Nikon 1.65 thickness Transition lens, crizal coated. That itself is $708!!
This specky better be good and worth the money.

IVF
Previously hubby had went for a sperm analysis and was found out his was on the low side plus with his condition, we decided to not waste time since I am not getting any younger, to proceed with IVF.
Today, we went for another appointment, recommended by a friend. He was very nice and candid except the waiting time is hideous. 2 hours on average! Even with appointment! Previously he had arranged for us to do some tests to ascertain our condition suited for the treatment. This time, hubby's sperm count result is more than satisfactory! Surprise surprise surprise! Wonder if we try hard this month, will there be a good chance of conceiving through the natural way instead of IVF? GOD, do help us on this! Hee!

Facebook....
Will you add your boss or colleague (not friend) to your Facebook? Erase that, I bet most will not. How about if they add you, will you accept?
One of my traders added me last weekend however I chose to ignore. On Tuesday when I was back in the office, he actually asked me in front of everyone why I had not accepted his invite! OMG! That's forcing me to accept right? Can you believe that I am actually given the permission to log on to Facebook to accept his 'friendship'. I still cannot believe this.
While Facebook probably is a good networking tool, I am actually more interested to use it for my family and friends. Not my boss or colleagues where I'd probably bitch about work and not want them to see my complaints. Now what? Can I block him without his knowledge? Or I should just refrain from expressing my grievances on Facebook then?

Exercise
Time to start exercising! Being very inconsistent with my routine. Previously managed to convince hubby to buy the Wii Fit Plus and did managed to keep up with daily exercise for a period but stopped when I strained myself (not from the exercise though).
However I had being putting on and feeling grossly fat at the tummy area! Knocked off work early and reached home early enough for a short exercise. Hopefully this time I can keep it up, for myself, for health and beauty!

Reluctance to Work
Woke up in the morning feeling a strong dread to work. Hence asked hubby if I should take urgent leave (excuse: menstrual cramp). He understands me very well and agrees.
These days the office is really a very low morale place to work in. Now that I know of the impending departure of my work buddy, the feeling of dread is even stronger.
Now I started to wonder if I should had indeed jumped ship when I got the chance. And why didn't I? Am I thinking too much and hence bring on such misery for myself?
How and where should I start? Hmm...
The work place may not be great but still tolerable. How about the colleagues? They are largely ok except for some that are really becoming more of a pain. Management? Typical but not helping to improve my situation. So at the end of the day it all boils down to those colleagues that are pushing me away:
1) My manager, let's call her Monster M. Personally she is a ok person but she is not a fair and not very easy to work with. Since day 1, I know she always prefer my buddy more so than me even though I am more senior. Then again, who will not since my buddy is so charming. That I do not blame her, but I feel she is practising favoritism so do not come and tell me you are a fair person cause you are not! Moreover since the beginning she feels that I am not well-deserved of the salary I am getting. Day by day working under her, you start to feel worthless. This is not helping my ego and confidence! And the strange thing, she is the only one that thinks so. My traders only feel that I need to step up more to take a lead position.
Nonethless I think now there is no such a need anymore as M employed another 'friend' of hers. So she is taking the lead now, not that I am complaining but she is also one of the factors that are causing the low morale.
2) This new team lead, GC, though not officially announced but the position is definitely hers. She is truly experienced and good at her work. That, I am truly impressed and respect her for her experience and knowledge. However she is like a 'mini-M', the style of work are scaringly alike! We do not need 2 monsters around! She is direct superior of my work buddy and she is suffering plus she feels that the company is not paying her enough to take such nonsense.
3) Leaving of my work buddy, Sab. As much as i will hate to see her leave but if she is happier elsewhere, I definitely give her my blessing. She used to be such cheery gal but with the entrance of GC, everything changed. Sab is definitely more subdued. So yah, fly away babe... Be Happy!
Me? As much as I feel miserable and so so so so tempted to fly away too, my wings are clipped (or am I?). As mentioned, I did managed to get a job offer earlier which I rejected. Main thing was that hubby and myself are thinking of family planning. I personally feel that it is not right for any staff to fall pregnant less than a year into her new employment. But I have no wish to hold back the family planning first till I am more settled in the new job as I am definitely not getting any younger. So GOD, pls help me fulfill my wish asap so once I am done with this plan of mine, I can move on to the next stage. Pls pls pls!

Hong Kong, Here I Come!!
Being talking about this Hong Kong trip for toooo looonnngggg! Finally booked the air tickets today and the first 3 days hotel stay! Am so looking forward for this!
So far our plan is
1) Afternoon flight out to Hong Kong on SQ on 06 Aug 2011 (Sat).
I know everyone always try to fly in the morning and reach there in the afternoon to start the vacation early. However we are scheduled for our dental appointment that morning plus my father-in-law birthday that day, expected to do a celebratory lunch first before leaving on a jet plan. Probably going to arrive there in the evening, check in Nathan Hotel, dinner and some shopping before we knock out for the day.
2) 07 Aug 2011 (Sun)
Already booked the room with breakfast for the day so that's how we shall start the day. Thereafter the plan will be to hit the Peak (we are so going to take the tram up!). Will check out the Victoria Harbour on their laser lights and not forgetting Avenue of Stars.
3) 08 Aug 2011 (Mon)
What's a trip to Hong Kong without the Disneyland right?
4) 09 Aug 2011 (Tue)
We shall spend Singapore National Day in Macau! Understand that the hotel hubby wanna book is not going to be near the main belt however sounds like a nice pretty hotel. Why not, right? Hee!
5) 10 Aug 2011 (Wed)
Back to Hong Kong, but shall we head back to the same hotel?? Hmm, no idea yet but definitely will finalise this before setting off. Believe this shall be a shopping day though.
6) 11 Aug 2011 (Thu)
Ocean Park??
7) 12 Aug 2011 (Fri)
All good things must come to an end. Back to reality. =(
Side note, being quite upset this weekend. My work buddy is likely to leave me soon. Shall be happy for her for her good offer but sad that I will lose such good companion at work. Shall talk more on the misery at work soon~~~
