Woke up to see Kris off this morning... something I've stopped doing for a long time... It feels good to get up early... and now that I'm looking for a job, I'd better practise sleeping & waking up early!! Cos everyone who knows me well enough knows I'm not easy to wake!! Mom & dad tried pulling off my doonah, sprinkling water on my face, tickling my toes, switching the TV & radio on, calling my mobile and my bedroom phone... anything... just to get me out of bed daily!! Sometimes it works... Usually on Sundays when we go to the central to get breakkie as a whole family... Once a week is not really enough to be as a family unit!! That's why I always relish on going out together with Mommy & Bak. But now that I'm in Australia, I yearn for it more & more!!
Spoke to mom over the phone & she mentioned how sad Bak was when he didn't get anything from Kris & I in the package we sent them thru Willy & Shan... msgd him saying we forgot to put his parcel in there cos we were rushing... He thot we forgot about him... and you know we won't forget you, Bak! We'll go get him something else tonite other than the t-shirt...
I'll have to start working on these selection criteria for my resume if I want to let Aunty Jan review it!! It's a PH on Monday, so at least Kris won't mind going on a Sunday... but I dunno if it'll be ready by then... I'll have to work on it a bit harder tmrw then... cos tonite I don't think I'll have the time to... Dinner & then rushing off to the shops... hopefully they're open... I really wanna go to Crossroads & get a few tops for work & social. I need 2 pairs of capri pants - beige & blue. Cos beige fits with most of my pink, red, brown & purple tops... and blue fits most everything, especially the blue tops that predominantly occupy my wardrobe.
Last nite I wore the red flowery capri that Kris got me on Tuesday. He initially didn't like it at the store... but last nite he said it's very summery & was beginning to like it on me!! And that one, I can only wear with my orange, red & white tops!! I've got a lime green capri - I only have a couple of green spag tops & most people know I don't wear spag tops without a cardi or a poncho... So, it gives me the opportunity to wear the crotchet poncho that he thot makes me look like a nanna... Well, what do guys know about fashion? And if u gals out there don't realise it already, crotchet fashion is IN big this & coming season!!
About tonite, I think I may get a few girly tops cos I don't think I'm girly enough!! And a couple of ponchos!! Now that it's gone down in price, I don't Kris will mind it that much, even though it's still see-through... hehehhee...
Earlier today, I received an SMS stating that there might be a virus associated with seafood due to the tsunami... Just to be on the safe side, I shall go get a bag of frozen fish for stock knowing that it's been captured before the incident.
It saddens me much more now to see the number of deaths rising due to the water-born diseases that came after the devastation of earthquakes and tsunamis!! My prayers go out to everyone affected & hope relief will come your way soon. And I think USA should give more aid!! $35m is nothing if u compare to the billions of dollars already spent for the IRAQI war!! If you can afford to use up that much to blow people up, you can afford the same to save innocent lives!!! And to think your people are also among the dead & wounded!! Show your people they are more valuable than just oil!! At least show them some respect!!
