Dear Hubby,

No more surprise gift this year. I’m gonna bring you to Bangkok, Thailand for your birthday (not on your birthday coz your birthday fall on Hari Raya).  We will be staying at  a farm (yes I did said farm!) :

Location : 234 Moo 7, Tumbon Suan Phung, Amphoe Suan Phueng, Changwat Ratchaburi 70180

The Scenery Resort

Here some sneak peaks on it :

Don’t worry my dear hubby they have wifi and ipod dock on top of that they have sheeps and cows as well hahahha.

My direct reporting manager has been transferred and no longer a manager.  I hope it’s for better and not for the worse … someone use to tell me : if you can’t beat them, join them … but if you can join them either you or them need to go …

My ex team lead ping me today. He was telling me that department would be hiring a new manager to replace her. I can sense that he’s trying to make me feel that he would be a good replacement for the manager post. Come on! Gimme a break … Do you really think I would give you my vote if customers have been complaining about you? With your attitude problem I would really dumb bimbo to even suggest your name as a manager!!

I don’t really know how such people have the courage of asking for a manager position. Don’t you feel ashamed when you got 3 complaints letter in 2 weeks? Don’t you feel down when you know you screw up a project/assignment? I guess some people just born with thick skin.

I need stop writing now as I can’t stop crying while writing about Ayah…

Last month (or may be a month before) hubby and I decided that we gonna enjoy our life as DINK (Dual Income No Kid). We would be going for short break in Singapore on June 12, 2010. We are also planning for our Ausie trip in July or early August and in December or January if financial permit we might go for Europe trip.

We are also planning to get another car (hubby need a golf for his golf session) early next year. At first we were thinking of getting the new Hyundai Tucson but after some financial constrain we decided to wait till end of the year. Some did ask us why we aren’t getting a house yet. Well to be frank we like our current house environment and Insha’Allah we might consider buying a house in this neighborhood soon. Whether it’s an intermediate or corner just let our budget do the talking.

I’m thankful to God for the good life I’m living. I got a good job (even though most of the time I complaint about it), a loving family + friend and a good husband that loves me for who I am.

If you noticed I don’t really praised my hubby much. Well to let you know he’s a good husband. Sometime we did have a fight but that just how marriage life is. You need to learn to accept the bad manner and side as well. I read about wife being abuse and hits by their husband in News. Thanks goodness my husband never laid a hand on me. He would try to give me everything that within his power (and budget of coz). Whenever I asked for something he would say this “If you like it, just buy it” and that always make me having second thought. I would do all the calculation and then change my mind.  For example last week we were doing windows shopping at The Garden. We stop by Kate Spade boutique and I saw a handbag that I kind of like it. Hubby already brings it to the cash register and then my mind start making the normal calculation (handbag cost – handbag usage)… we end up no buying it even though it was dirt cheap. I wish I got the handbag and just let hubby pay for it. Yesterday when I walked pass Kate Spade I saw that the handbag has been sold to someone else. Sigh! I need to train my brain to stop making this kind of calculation.

I’m going Singapore soon and hopefully I can do some shopping during the GSS 2010. The promotion looks good with most of the boutique having up to 50% and 70% discount.  I desperately need to get some working attire and shoes.

?

Hubby drag me to Coach boutique and ask me to choose a handbag to replace my current dying handbag. Nothing really catch my eyes. May be I don’t really like to follow the current trendy style of handbag. I don’t know … I guess I’m just too old fashion and not fashionable. Or may be I saw too many coach in my office.

We also stop by at Ferragamo at Isetan. One handbag catch my eyes. Not too big not too small … Just perfect. The Salvatore Ferragamo Safari Calfskin Shoulder Bag looks classic. The one that I saw is in white. This bag was seen on Jessica Simpson in bright green.

The price tag make me put it down almost immediately. Hubby make me an offer and the offer come with condition (as usual) :

1. Ferragamo handbag  but NO Singapore Trip

or

2. Coach Handbag + Singapore Trip.

I really like the Ferragamo handbag…. at the same time I also wanna do some shopping in Singapore. Guess I need save on my own if I want Ferragamo as Singapore trip is more toward spending some quality time with hubby. After all I already booked Hilton Orchard for our trip .

I thought that I would be able to find it in KLIA but  … No Luck. Would try to look for it at 1U tomorrow coz I really love the smells and I really need a bottle or two perfume. I bought hubby World Cup 2010 Mascot – Zakumi and basically that the only thing I bought.  I’m going to Singapore again during the Great Singapore Sale and this time hubby would tag along.

Even though not much choices of hard case luggage, the price is pretty good. According to the sale person they restock quite often. The shop located at :

Samsonite Factory Outlet
Unit. 19 Ground Floor, 3rd Mile Square,
No. 151, Jalan Kelang Lama, Batu 3 1/2
58100 Kuala Lumpur
Tel/Fax : 603 7983 6075

will update the map once I’m in the mood of drawing maps.

While driving back, hubby swing by Hyundai showroom in Puchong (beside IOI Mall). The moment we stepped out of the car, an old friend of hubby greeted him. What a coincidences! He’s one of the sales guy there. The one showed at Puchong was black in color while the one in Klang Lama was White. From my point of view the white color Tucson is damn nice

We asked for a test drive and we got it . Due to the smaller windows, I feel like a small kid when I was seating at the back seat. Both off us felt in love with the Panoramic sunroof (front and rear seats)

Price for Hyundai Tucson OTR: 2.0 std – RM 126,888, 2.0 High-Spec – RM136,888, and 2.4 – RM 152,888. Hmmm Tucson is cheaper than CRV. What do u think of Tucson?

I went to 2 interviews so far and still considering the job pro and cons.  I’m going to Singapore a week after next week for training. I been hoping to enroll for this course since the day they announce the technology. Hope this training would open others opportunities for me.

I believed that “You can’t always get what you want but if you try sometimes you might find that you get what you need” so may be this is what I need at this time. A break from my manager (hopefully she won’t bug me during my training) with plentiful of option on how I want to live my life. Do I want to be the workaholic + resourceful staffs which everybody wants but can’t go anyway because you are an asset to your department or the troublemaker which nobody wants your but have and easy life at work.

As of now, I just take things easy and keep my option open and in order to get me through my day I just set my phone ring tones to this song :

Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
And smile, smile, smile
Just think of all the happy times we’ll have and smile, that’s the style
What’s the use of worrying, it never was worthwhile
So pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
And smile, smile, smile

Here’s how it sound like :
