Yes - Once again. We love Picotin. This time round we went for lunch. Basically, its the same menu as dinner. However, there's lesser crowd for lunch. You can have your meal in a quiet and peaceful ambience. Its hot though - that I have to remind you!

I love their free flow of varieties of bread and delicious pizzas! Not a fan of pizza, but theirs are really good! The next round, I want to order Foie Gras! Go try when you have run out of ideas where to go for a meal!

Bear with me for the last time - When I was on IM with my boss, I warned her that I will be very whinny about the holiday loss. With changing of maids, shortage of leave, for the sake of better financials, H1N1 paranoid & attending weddings - NZ holiday is officially cancelled. Hubby even gave in to me that we can go for a short one to Hokkaido but I still think its expensive. We decided to save better for next year as consolation.

Hence, I have planned that we will visit Amanpulo for first half of 2010 and Paris + Montengro for 2nd half of 2010. I hope nothing goes wrong, especially the fact that we were not able to go Greece & NZ this year. Family planning really has to wait :p

To further make myself better, I have decided (at first) to get an iPhone. Then the fickle minded me came up with a new combination - A cheaper higher technology mobile phone than my current one + A pair of Chanel earrings. When I told Hubby of my shopping list, he's totally not interested and commented that when will we ever save proper? :P

Being thankful......

Just when I dread the week coz its quarterly closing, complaining that I will be missing my manicure & facial appointments, I should be thankful that I still have a job. No job, no such appointments.

I soon realise that if I take a step further to count my blessings, be thankful and be satisfied, I can be a much happier girl.

Counting....

I once regretted studying Accountancy - I am thankful that it brings a steady flow of income to my pocket every month :)

I need to work late, to bring work home and to meet the high expectations of the management - I am thankful for the fact I got a job at this economy climate :)

I should have gone to Australia to further my studies - But I am thankful for the decision to join my previous firm has given me a chance to meet my husband there :)

I would have hastily got a private property 2 years back - I did not and thankful that I do not need to carry debts with me :)

I complained that hubby should have gotten a bigger car - Thankful when the oil barrel price shot up :)

Counting and counting.....Thankful for who I am and what I have....Stop complaining!

Dazzling Nite

We had one of our most fun dinners -Dazzling Nite. Meaning - Everyone gets to draw lots on the colour and supposed to wear 2-piece outfit of the same color. This theme is considered to be one of the mildest one to start off :p Probably we will have "back to school" theme next...

My sis is married! Congrats to Mr and Mrs Lomas!

Its reflection

Visit to Bantaeay Srei is an early morning one. We had a wake up call at Cambodia time, 6am, followed by in-room quick continental breakfast before we we set off in Amansara's Jeep. Banteay Srei is 45 minutes away from Amansara and the journey to Banteay Srei brings us spectacular rice paddy views in Siem Reap.

Er hmm...lets welcome the arrival of my new baby, a member of my BAGS!

The weighing scale is not telling the truth?


I have been rather upset with my weight. So upset that I lost apeptite for the past 2 dinners. And all the weight gained is showing around my tummy. A pregnant woman does not progress as fast as someone who is not pregnant like me. Gosh, I feel so uncomfortable when I am wearing tight fitting clothes and I then hate myself for so.

I know I am whinning and complaining - in fact childish? I just came back from my Amansara holidays i know...already looking for a big one in Sep/Oct to New Zealand. The swine flu ain't helping. Ernest had threw obvious hints that he wants to cancel the trip and replace with a bag. NO - I rather travel than having another bag ok. Not even if he offer a birkin. Fine, will just postpone family planning. Childish act? Arghs. I am going through another round of PMS-ing.

H1N1 so scary lor. When my friends told me about the affected cases in Cambodia, my colleagues all wanted me to see a doctor. Doctor gave me 2 days MC to stay at home but I chose to work to avoid backlogs. I am really ok. The high fever I had at Cambodia was due to some infection. NOT swine flu. So really don't have to worry. Seriously....When is this going to end?

Am supposed to go Bhutan for some work with my Manager but my FC said someone got to be around for Quarter closing. Half happy half sad. Bhutan leh....Not everyone can go there one you know. But this gonna be a stressful trip..luckily I do not have to go also..if anything screws up..I need to look for a job then...hahahah.
