Tick-tock-tick-tock

Aaarrgghhh!! The suspense is killing me!!

The big question running through my mind and everyone else around me is: WHEN?

I know millions of women go through this everyday all over the world, so my experience is hardly unique. But still! All the unknowns and how-will-it-bes are nail bittingly thrilling and scary at the same time.

My gynae seems to think the baby will arrive anywhere between a few days to a couple of weeks. Lots of people are asking if I'm ready. Eeerrr, no!

I don't think anyone can ever be truly ready for their lifes to be so radically changed.

My mantra:

Stay calm.

Think positive.

Relax.

Wwooosssahhhh!!

Will someone please remind me of my noble intentions when the time comes?

Millionaire in making!

I've been thinking what would I do if I suddenly turned a millionaire, multi-millionaire to be precise.. Will I quit my job? hell, yes! or will I just go on a long long holiday but, eew, I don't wanna travel anymore so it got me thinking..not like I've anything else better to do here


Anyway, this started when a taxi driver I met in Perth, out of the blue told me, I should buy a lottery.. He thinks I've a 'lucky face' and the draw for the week was going for 30million!! I just thought that was a random nice thing to say and ignored it.. And on my last day stay in Perth, I got a text from him reminding me to go buy the lottery before 5pm that day.. Let's just ignore the part about why the taxi driver is texting me :p but that's what made me think.. Been doing that for days now..

I have made a list in my head.

1. I wanted to help solve all the problem and buy a Ferrari for certain someone :p but then I know he might not accept it.. So crossed it out of the list..

2. I wanted to quit my job and go for a really nice holiday and maybe travel around for months. But knowing it's so not fun going alone, I was thinking of getting nemo to resign from her job, (she's working too hard :p) and travel with me.. Of cos I'll totally pay her to do it.. Salary + holiday, nemo what say you? :p I've left Anya out as the baby would need mummy to be around.. At least for now :p

3. Then I thought I should do something totally useful for myself with the money.. Like doing what I love for a living.. Which of cos I don't know what.. Then this brilliant idea came about.. I should totally take up and study medicine! I can go to a real cool country, be all student again and have fun for 5 years.. And I still could work for another 20 years or so, so it's not too bad to start, right? But then, when I really analyzed the thought, I realized it could be biased due to watching all those greys and private practice that I love :(


4. And this morning doing some programming sort of thing during my training, I rekindled my love for programming.. I really did enjoy the subject.. I loved playing around with the commands till I get something I want and seeing the results on screen was so joyful.. So now, I'm considering a Masters in Software Engineering.. or IT.. or whatever.. Just can't help feeling so proud of myself :)


All smiles,

P/s: I never bought the lottery! :(

Did I mention, I have successfully crossed out my very first resolution?

I saw this on a friend's facebook status and thought, 'How true!'

Scientists say the universe is made of protons, neutrons and electrons. They forgot to mention MORONS

On move..

when you finally learn to get around without getting lost..

when you finally find good food without having have to pay double the normal price..

when you finally make friends with random taxi drivers

that's when you will have to move again... sigh...


Lilo - tired of starting all over again..

Friends...

..they make all the difference :D This post just can't wait another day. I'm so high (in happiness) right now that I'm staying up writing this :) Tadaaaa...


So, we just celebrated my birthday (3 days earlier) but wth, it was absolutely fun :D (Btw gals, only when I'm posting this pic I realized there were actually 3 candles to represent 30 :p ) I totally didn't expect any of this, honestly thought it was just a formality birthday dinner until the cute cup cakes arrived and the biggest and sweetest surprise in years....


my very own kindle! Seriously, what more can I ask for? :D It's absolutely just what I need and really needed right now to cheer up my sorry life :) I usually complain and hate that my birthday is so early in the year.. But year after year, at least for the last 10 years of my life, it has always been made so special.. The blessing in disguise is; also because it's so early in the year, everyone is always around to celebrate my birthday with me.. I'm blessed like that :D Anyway, my dearest girls.. Thank you so much! for everything.. If I'm still standing today (at 30), that's only because of you.. Love you all to pieces! <3 iLilo Loving the new toy ;)

Resolutions! As usual..

It’s already 6th of January and I still haven’t come up with my resolutions for the year. Damn.

I think I’m going to keep it simple this year. (Is that a sign of getting old?)

1. iPhone 4s
2. Must do a lasik surgery
3. Need a new job (again!)
4. Settle all the loans
5. Go on a really nice self-pampering vacation
6. Start buying/using proper make up to hide all the wrinkles. (That reminds me, I still haven’t use my last year birthday gift from the girls :p )

And last but not least, to be content that I am actually 30 this year ;)

P/s: oh shit, I totally forgot about losing weight!! That too please..
