Last One...for the week

Had to get one done and posted just before I leave...since next week is monthend and there are interviewees coming in for their exams. I feel like a teacher...preparing the test questions (deciphered boss' handwritings for the questions), photocopying the final copies and will be administering the exam by next week. :P Good thing I only check one section of this exam. The rest will be marked by a fellow coworker of mine. :P


Last LO before I head off for a weekend back home. Only there for the weekend...hay...oh well...Xmas and Chinese New Year will be longer. :) I can't wait to see Ed and my little nephew. I made my appointment for the latter meeting...never know since he might be sleeping then it wouldn't sort of count anymore. :)



Thank you, Rhea --> Check out my (*big*) nephew and his new Puma rubber shoes! I was told that he wears it each time he plays in his new gym. Oh so sweet...these days, kids are so overly fashionable. I remember when I was a kid where a no name CareBear t-shirt and nightgown was the coolest thing...now...fashion brands branched out to baby cloths and gear...Puma! My first Puma rubber shoes was bought about alittle over a year ago! It looks so similar to my nephew's! This guys going to be a big fashionista! :)






About the kits used for the LO below, I super duper love Mikki's stuff. Super thankful that she's still designing and that I'm part of her team. These crochet kit is so much fun!

Odd Interviews

Work was the same...had to attend to one of the candidates since he requested for an early interview. Candidate came on-time I basically administered an exam for him as per my boss' instruction. While he was working on the exam question, I was on my desk at other room calling other candidates left and right while I multi-task on some other things. My coworker who attended to the candidate told me that he looked funny and was snickering when she told me that the candidate has arrived. :P Such a riot...though he looked just fine to me...seen other more odd people who applied with our company.

Hay...some were really nice and polite...some were just so dense. It makes me wonder if I was like that when I was looking for a job. It's wonderful to be at the other side of that...to be the interviewer than the interviewee.

I'm so on a roll...these templates are just purely addicting!

Weather awful...but Mojo ever present...

Weather is just aweful...2pm looked like 7pm already! It doesn't help that days are really shorter during this winter season. Hope weather gets better for my impending trip back home. Believe mom's excited to be heading back too...she's packing her stuff already. :)

Got a few LOs done today...simple because they are templates...half of the mojo needed is done and I just needed to pick the papers and ribbons to go where they are suppose to. :) Super thank you for these, Doodleboogs!

Got a few more news about relationships breaking up - serious ones for the matter - all heading down the aisle. There is just too many going around these days on that. Really sad to have to hear that long term relationships put to the test, didn't pass even through time...or have it even take a start to a more serious level. Strongly believe that if it's not meant to be, then maybe it really isn't. Some were for very good reason
Never got to understand how someone could tell their partner that they would know if they want to be together or be married to them by a certain time like say "can we delay *this* to like July 2007*?" (*Note: hypothetical date and anonymously stated.) I'm so amazed on how one could pick that and say such a thing...like they can predict that exact on what they would be able to decide on that specific day. They should try using their psychic power to pick the lotto numbers instead.

For someone who one has been with for so long...you would think there would be some honesty or some "reputation-saving" act that would come out of all this. I guess not. Had to recommend this self-discovery book - He's Just Not That Into You by Greg Behrendt. This book really had opened my eyes to what men or what we, women, really have to think and not kid ourselves with "mixed signals". Harsh is life and thus we have to just treat is as harsh as it can throw on us. :)
One important thing I've learned from the book:

It's unfortunately the truth. My belief is that if you have to be the aggressor, if you have to pursue, if you have to do the asking out, nine times out of ten, he's just not that into you...Men don't forget how much they like you...If you can find him, then he can find you. If he wants to find you, he will.

11/20 Random Thoughts

Random things about this weekend and for next...

* First and foremost - excited to be going home this weekend...even if it's only for two days...it's always good to see family and Ed...Mom and I will be heading back together...miss traveling with her.

* Had a good weekend...Saturday lunch with my good gal pal and her hubby before they flew back to Mla; Sunday lunch with my godchild, Ally, and her family...sweet as ever...she showed me some ballet moves that she's learning.

* Paid for my Chinese New Year plane ticket - confirmed that I will be spending more than a week - about 10 days (wooohooo!) back home and will be attending a wedding around that time too...aside from me being involved in that wedding. :P Won't be going back this January and will just save my money for the Feb trip. Crazy that if I left HK on either 15th or 16th, ticket price is more than double the cost! Had to go home earlier so it would be normal price. Nice blessing all together since I get to go home early and stay longer. :) Super excited all over...even if it's more than two months away!

* Mom's still here so we went around HK and checked out shops...took the tram all the way to Western Market...got too much time and didn't know what to do by Sunday. I love my mommy!

* Got to finish some quick digi-LOs this weekend...Sunday night...enjoyed it since it's a template project and I basically had to just use some pp and nice photos.

* Lastly, I was able to get some more ideas in a project that I'm doing with mom's help and her shopping capabilities and I'm super happy with what we both found...now it's time to get it all rolling on this part of the world.

Stressed & More Stressed...Thank God for Mothers

Busy week (and -end) but have done a few more LOs.
Hope things get better. I'm currently worried and stress with some work and added responsiblities outside of work. I'm glad to hear some "good news" (that it can be done) just now but the price that involves is far more than what I hoped/expected that I wish there was a way around it...
Happy though that Mom's here visiting and helping me out. :)

And here on earth we finally meet
Our beautiful baby girl!
People will say you've got my eyes
And daddy's wonderful smile
But we're just happy that you came
We've been waiting for you a while.
Now every night before we sleep
We thank our Father above
For sending us a special gift
That fills our home with love.
