Today I nearly died on my way home...
As I sat reading my MX, minding my own business on the bus, along came the world's smelliest and slimiest looking man you could possibly imagine, a mixture of BO and dirty filthy cigarettes and probably not washing anything for 14 years, **pooey** he reeked bad and guess where he chose to sit?
yes, RIGHT BESIDE ME!
I think I took one last gasp of fresh bus air and tried not to choke for the remainder of my 40 minute ride home.
Dirty old smelly man :(
This was the day I very nearly died from asphyxiation

Feeling flabby and broke
*sigh*
I had to buy some new work clothes to go with my new job, and new clothes cost lots of money and that's something that is in short supply at the moment. I wish I could grow a money tree... where can I get me one of them I wonder?
And tomorrow I have to pay for my trip to Europe :( What a double whammy.
I have still yet to get new shoes to go with my new outfits.... *sigh* *sigh* *sigh*
Thing is, when did I get so flabby? I hate trying on new clothes now, they look so nice in the shop but look so shit on me, why? Me thinks it's time to get less flabby...
I have so much to do, and so many people to catch up with before I leave and so little time to do it all.
I'm deliriously happy, yet incredibly sad, and a little bit anxious as well. I don't want to leave my current job but I can't stay anymore so what do I do? You just got to think about number 1, and number 1 is me!
Okies, nuff whinging for today. There is always tomorrow :Þ

One fine day
Happy Happy Happy New Year!
Today has been a great start to a hopefully really great new year!
I've been (impatiently) waiting for a week to hear back from PwC and today they finally called me to give me the fantastic news that they chose me! Yes, ME!! Me over 150 other applicants. I got the job! Woo hoo hoo :)
As I blogged previously, I was very confident that I pretty much had it in the bag so if I didn't get this job I would've been really disappointed. Sometimes though, things just go exactly how and where you want it to go and when things go smoothly for me, I am happy :)
Now... how to break the bad/ good news to my kids.... ??? I'll figure that out in the next few days.
Anyways, since it's Chinese New Year, my brother's girlfriend brought over a gift for my parents... and it totally freaked me out.
You have to see it.......
SEE! It's jelly fish! Fish made from jelly and it looks so real. Look how real it looks, the scary realistic-looking fish jelly.....
And this is Lu's reaction when she first saw them

Memories.... and some bits and bobs
I hope to post with a bit more regularity from now on, if not just because so much happens between my postings these days - though that's not to say that all that happens in my life are interesting happenings, but whatever...
So, what has happened?
Well firstly, Onion has been claimed by his owners, according to the vet... I have my doubts, but what can I do? I really wanted this dog, he was just adorable but if he has rightful owners then I hope he lives a happy and spoilt life and that he will remember his short time with me. I remember when we lost Taxi and how happy we were when we found her, so I hope that Onion's owners are just as happy to find him. I miss my little Onion.
Secondly, well... I've had 2 very positive job interviews with PwC and out of over 150 applications, I've been shortlisted and the position is now up for grabs between just me and some other girl. I'm really really happy with my performance and I'm very very confident, but I also harbour some uncertainty... like when they said they were gonna call my referees, but they haven't yet.... so why haven't they? Should I give them a call to check? Would that be too keen? I'm so excited and so anxious but I can't do anything..... I feel so helpless. I hate feeling so helpless.
I would be so disappointed if I did not get this job.
Thirdly, we've re-arranged and cleaned up our study, FINALLY! After Lordy knows how long.... years and years. We finally have a proper seat and proper tv cabinet and lots more space in the room. Now, back to cleaning my room..... I dread that :(
What else? Well... plans for another trip to Europe hopefully around June-ish, I'm so excited!
And lastly for now.... hmm... yes, there's one more thing, but I think I'll keep that to myself for the time being ;) When the time is right, all shall be revealed :)
