Good August

Good grief, I finally passed my last exam! Yay. I was a bit worried about it cos it was about accounting. This was a resit so I had to self study and not have the luxury of having a lecturer bore the hell out of me. On the exam day I was desperate. I cannot balance the balance sheet that was part of a compulsory question that is 25 marks. 1/4 of the total. I had a go at it for a good 1/2 an hr and decided, my forte is still writing. So instead of a balance sheet with left and right columns. I wrote in sentences. "Item A should be booked as an expense."  And I proceed to state why it should be so... etc etc. I bet the examiner must be bewildered by the change in "format" of the answer. This darn paper....  I took a day off every week 3 weeks prior to the exam date and spent most my times at Starbuck or at the Safra @Mt Faber, sneaking in a gym session now and then.

Yes, I have been gymming. Erm... I have got mixed reactions from "You slimmed down" to "You bulked up". Whatever that means.

Some people don't really recognize me. "Everytime I see you, I don't know if it was you. Cos you keep wearing your hair differently." I never thought people noticed but yes I like changing my hair all the time to fulfil my everlasting dream of being the Linda E during her time. HAHAHA.

HFH was here. Came and gone. I went down to support a friend and snapped some pics for him.

Office will relocate in Sept, it will bring me closer to the CBD yuppies. Yawn. More tight fitting shirts and tapered pants wandering around. At least its closer to home. Glad that the new place has a shower, so I can go running and shower after that. Yah right, trying to beat the tight fitting shirts and tapered pants with my tight singlet and super short shorts. LOL. But seriously, I need to start training for a marathon.

Travelling schedule is out!

22-27 Sept I am lucky to find cyclone76  for company to Siem Reap. If we should fight, I will die. He towers at least 2 heads above me. All the backcomb in the world would not let my height catch up.

Oct /Nov family trip to BKK. Its been ages since I've been there. It'll be so fun going with family. Hot weather for a change. =)

Jan 2012, my dentist asked my to buddy buddy to Burma. How fun! Well, he asked me while drilling my teeth, I don't dare to say "No"!

9 -23 Mar 2012, it's LOTR time to NZ. Tickets were so cheap I cannot refuse. This time round, bringing my dear sister with me. Ever since she braved VN with me in 2010. I know she is a toughie.

So no splurging for the next few months! But since I passed exam, I did some celebratory rewarding in the form of erm... retail release. I bought a pair of red converse sneaks and a cute looking shirt. They were at 1/2 price. And they kept talking to me. Of course, it helped that I have an inner voice to mitigate "It makes no sense not to buy. There is no reason not to buy."  Perhaps.... I need to change my inner voice? It's been talking to me about this green PUMA gym bag....

running, dreams, family, cyclone76, marathon, friends, travelling, money
