count my blessings

Every time this year, many people will think about how time REALLY flies...and it's almost the close of yet another year. I decide to count my blessings for 2006 this Sat morning (before Elvis wakes up from his night of partying)...

Hmm...too many things happened to me this year. The biggest thing is i'm MARRIED! It was not on the cards, but i'm glad married life is good. We are still the happy couple & will still go "pak tor" on weekends. Elvis has also proven himself to be a perfect husband - though i could deal with him working less hours. Thanks for being such a great "lao gong" who didnt complain about my shopping, not cooking etc. =)

Being married has also brought me away from my family & friends in Singapore. That's the 1 thing that is missing in my almost-perfect life. My family misses me more than any other time in my life. I cant wait to see them again during Chinese New Year. Will be back on 15 Feb 2007, Thursday!

I was also very thankful for all friends, bosses, ex-bosses, colleagues, ex-colleagues who came to share in our joy on 30.6.06 at Marriot. It was like a recognition for me even though we hardly get together (on normal days). For this, i will remember you all. Thank You.

I am also thankful i had the 'normal' wedding dinner at a very nice hotel (coz i always say i wont wanna get married if it was held at a Community Centre/"chin chiong" Chinese restaurant).

Sometimes, i will miss the times at work & my colleagues. People who have worked with me will know that i like working. However, i'm surprised how i'm not missing this part in Shanghai! Haha... Frankly, i keep thinking that working here is far from easy, and kinda dread it. Since Elvis didnt complain, i gladly ignored it! Kekee... I wonder if i'm just avoiding things, preferring to bum around... =X (Foreigners say that i have to work in order to live a 'normal life' here in Shanghai. Locals say that i should just relax.)

The other wonderful thing is getting the chance to travel more than ever in a year. For this, I'm thankful to my loving husband.

Perhaps being a housewife is also a blessing for now. Besides, i am a young "tai tai"! Haha... ^_* And we've finally found a part-time maid for 2007! No more mopping floor & washing toilet! Yippie!

1.5 days to Christmas...
1 day to our Xmas party...and time for Elvis to wake up!
