some going ons ...

... i felt good about myself when i was told that i did well at work today. my creative contribution to our upcoming Global Summit event earned some praises and appreciation from my colleagues - geez, i'm bursting with pride. i have been working so hard since last week brainstorming creative ideas with my group, doing the layout and graphic design of our story and presentation boards for the big meeting on week 6. setting my own deadlines can be frustrating, especially if you're depending on someone else's input to complete your own work - somehow i manage to put things together just in time. i'd say it's all about patience and perseverance. i'm glad to have been able to finish most of the work that needed to be done ... i expect to be involved in the other work activities after my weekend break.

... oh yes, my weekend break starts this thursday, 31 january until 4 february. my family's off to London for a much needed respite for 5 days. it was a holiday plan long overdue - a promise we have to fulfill for Alexander ... to visit the Thomas the Tank Engine wonderland.

... i heard there's trouble brewing from "home" - i hope things will eventually get better and settled for the good of everyone.

... i lost my favourite glove today (trivial, huh?)

... Alexander lost his two front teeth last New Year - he excitedly kept them under his pillow hoping for the "tooth fairy" to drop by and give him a present. when he woke up the following day, he found 3 pcs of 10 crowns under his pillow (you probably guessed who the "tooth fairy" are) ... but he was a bit disappointed and told me that he thinks the "tooth fairy" doesn't know how to count. so, i asked him why, and Alexander said: "i only lost my two front teeth, why did she gave me 3 pcs of 10 crowns?" ... i can't help but smile and justified his confusion: "well, maybe the "tooth fairy" gave you an extra 10 crowns for being a brave boy" ... Alexander seemed quite convinced with that explanation.

... tomorrow's going to be a busy day. i need to take care of some more work before i set off to my weekend break ... it will be long hours at work again. and i think i have a dinner date, too ... am not that sure if it's still on. well, it's Mommy Night tomorrow - the night i go out with other moms to have some time and fun for ourselves ... minus hubbies and kids. hmmm, we'll see ...

ok, i gotta sign off now. big day tomorrow ... until next time. i will try to write a longer post about something interesting .... ciao!
