Happy happy month

There's quite a number of cheques coming into my mail and some were already in the bank in fact. It's like...money come, money come...haha

First, there was this cheque by PruLady on the marriage. Followed by my so overdue tax refund. Just a few days ago, I called up ING to request for my another overdue cheque, a dental claim I submitted 6 months ago. And today? Well, let just say the fatest cheque is on the way from US SmithBarney. Haha...I don't trade stocks. It was a left over from my previous employee stock purchase plan. Aisey man...been waiting for the price to hit my profit for so long. There was once it went from USD17 to USD13. My heart almost stopped. I was thinking...die la, this time have to wait for a year or two liao. But then it must have release quite a good product to push the market up to USD 17+ again last week. This morning I checked, it has hit my profit and go a lil more by a few cents.

Wow..what a great birthday month for me.

Today

I'm not going to lie at the fact that I'm actually trying to cramp all those 'blogs' in my head into this real blog in one day. I'm trying to make up for my promise to keep this blog alive..haha..

Since I'm not working and I don't have mood to update here, what have I been doing? Well, to start off, in less than a week after I resigned from my previous kindy job, I got myself another job. If you could call it a job still, when you are not paid monthly salary. I look up at dictionary.com it says a job is:

"a post of employment; full-time or part-time position"

Since it does not state anything about salary, I guess I AM in a job. This job requires me to work only 1 day a month (*party party*) and the pay depends on the end result which might take a year or two to harvest. It might also be nothing at the end but I'm fully confident in it. The best thing is the end result might give me more than what a normal 8-5 job pays in those two years...and it's non taxable..COOL eh? I'm not going to reveal what job this is, I don't want the goverment to come hunting me down in a year or two ;) What I can say is this recession thingy, it's not going to affect me..

Surprise

After that false alarm, I told myself I have to take it easy. If I were to continue to be like this, it will definitely hurt our relationship. So I planned half a day outing. It started with a jog in the park, then try out the yummy pure fruit juice from a stall nearby. I arranged in a way that we will have brunch in my favourite PHOP (Paddington House of Pancake) before we catch a movie "Dragonball Evolution".

I overheard Hubs raving to his colleagues how he had the whole series of dragonball comic books when he was small. To watch that movie, it's like going to back to his childhood. I wanted to surprise him but I guess he reads my mind pretty easily....or I'm just so predictable. I know if I did not arrange for his hair cut, he'll just let it grow till I complain. So that was in my plan also.

Afternoon was free and easy (in my parents' place..hehe) while at night we had dinner @ New World Park so that we could easily hop over to the stage where his best buddy was performing. As usual, they will ajak him to play Dota. I wanted to go there and have a look at what so interesting bout it. But his reluctant-ness showed when he kept on asking if I'll be ok. Well, I have to avoid my parents from knowing I'll be driving home alone cause they'll be worried. Thus I dropped him off at the cafe on my way home. Too bad, they bumped into me at one of the traffic light. I loathed him playing the game, not because it is unhealthy but the way they play it, it always drag until wee hour (the earliest 2am). And I cannot question him, for if I do..he'll say I'm always making noise when he goes out with his friends. I went home alone and cried myself to sleep. I guess the whole surprise is not so well planned afterall..

Dinner last night

I'm not a big fan of fish maw (actually...totally not a fan) or any slimy thing in my soup. But last night was exceptional. Not that I am a fan now but it was the night where I consumed the most fish maw than all the years (of eating fish maw) add up in my life. The conversation with MIL went like this:

MIL: Do you know how to eat fish maw?
Me: Oh..(gulp) I swallow them wholly
MIL: Fish maw is good for health
Me: I know... that's why I swallow it. Else I would not have touch it.
MIL: *faint*

When I related that to Hubs, he added on, "Mum, she knows it's good, thus swallowing as chewing them will break those vitamin."

And my FIL? He was laughing in the background..

Update

It's been ages since I dropped by and it has been growing spider webs in here. I'll try to keep this post short and simple, so as not to bore you and most importantly..still keep my interest in updating. A few random things

1. I had a gotten myself a job in a kindy as TEACHER, and out of it in 2 months. Never in my life had I thought I'll be a teacher someday. Well, we did thought of opening a kindy but that was just a thought. Met so many charming kiddos as well as those monsters. I love one lil girl in particular. Being just 22months, she is so clever and well behave. I love when she called me, "Teacher Lindy!". How my heart will just melt on the spot.

2. I'm now back to being unemployed and am very happy about it, despite the fact that I don't have any income anymore. I admit I'm very clingy to Hubs. With normal working hours job (8-5) we will have hard time seeing each other and had problem with transportation also. During this time with Hubs, he had thought me so much in life about financial thingy, my knowledge is expanding everyday and I'm so excited bout our future.

3. Reading 'Increase your Financial IO' by Robert Kiyosaki has made me understand truly why Hubs has been working so hard in increasing his knowledge to achieve financial freedom. I'm starting to plan my futures too and how I can make use of what I have TODAY.

4. My knowledge and interest in Gold&Silver has increase tremendously and together with Hubs, we are digging for opportunity to invest and do business. I've come to realise that currency is NOTHING when the calculated day arrive.

5. With my disappointment every month when my menses come, I finally manage to persuade Hubs to find for other alternative. We are waiting for our precious to come...just waiting for the sign.

6. For the first time in my life, I went to 'free birds'. It was meant to be a good deed, whereby you free the living souls. Oh..the birds were so adorable.

7. It's not easy to hear of others' pregnancy news and feel excited for them. At first, it only adds to my desparation, but as times goes by, I've learn to accept them and bless them. I know my turn is here. And I'm ready.

That's all I can think of now. Will try to keep this blog alive (trying hard)..

What your eyes show you

I attended a talk by Prof George Lim in G Hotel yesterday. He was a very humorous guy, joking around, at the same time drilling the important information inside our heads. Everyday when I take a look at my eyes, I only notice how dry the skin has become around my eyes, how my white has a few more veins showing due to lack of oxygen, how the dark circle has formed due to my lack of sleep. Never had I pay attention to the black circle in the middle of my whole eye. After I saw my snapshot of my eye, I came to know that there are a lot of stories inside.

Beware! The following picture might give you the image of "The Eye".

From Prof. George Lim's explanation, the wrinkle around my cornea shows that I'm a stressful person. Each line shows a different part of my internal machine that has been affected. On my left eye, the line at my 1o'clock shows that there is something wrong with my shoulder. Eww...looks like I'm not as healthy as I thought. And the worst thing is, all this is hereditary. Meaning what I had was inherited from my parents. This will be passed down to my children.....SHRIEK!!! I don't want be the culprit of my children sickness in future.

Guess what I have to do now is to really look into my health and learn the ways to improve it before my lil ones come around. Dream catcher stated that, 'When done through ignorance, it is unintentional suicide'.
