Coins

It was year 2001 when I read an article in on the Chicken Soup for the Soul books about (I think), a husband and a wife, putting a coin on their coin bank everytime they kiss (arghhh I cannot remember, but something to that effect). They used it to go to Hawaii.

I find it interesting so I asked Pre if he wants to do it, we'll spend it on our honeymoon.

So we followed but we just put all our S$1 coins we have at the end of the day. We still have our very first coin bank, anAnlene tin can which we have until now.

We didn't use it for our honeymoon coz it was not enough hehe but we used it for Dawter T's first birthday party. We paid off our caterer using that.

We now have another coin bank which we're trying to fill up, this time is for Bebi A's birthday. I think it was not as much as the first one but it'll still help us pay some of the bills for Bebi A's party.

It's really exciting to see it fill up. (Syempre low EQ ako, parati ko sinisilip!) And somehow it also gives me comfort that we have coins nearby in case we run out of cash hehehe

Dress Code

If wearing jeans every day of the week is the gauge for a great workplace, my new job would have a tie with my last workplace in the Philippines. Yes, we can dress down the whole week. I am so thrilled with this prospect. First day was ok. My boss took a picture of me from camera phone and sent this picture in an email to the global team. Oh man! Workwise, I find the team to be so organized and that scares me. After being lawless for a year, it's a big turnaround. When I opened my email this morning, I got almost 70+ mails, and my training plan already laid out. They also gave me a web camera and headset for team web conferencing. (I really need to lose weight now, the camera will add a few more pounds hahaha) Then, I found out that they don't come to work on time and we can leave at exactly 545pm. Woohoo! That's one of the things that were nagging me but I was so pleased to learn that. We even had a 1 and a half hour of lunch time. Hmmm... This could be very...

Nyamy Nyamy

Our Bebe A is at the stage of being cheeky and endearing.  She can speak so many words now, some clear, some not.  Hehehe.  She likes to sing as well.  She actually has a good tone.  One of the songs that she likes is the one from Wiggles --- Fruit Salad.  Her version though is : Mom : Fruit Salad Bebe A :  Nyamy Nyamy (Yummy Yummy)

Busy

Bebi A : Daddy, can you make me an airplane? Daddy : Later Ava, I am busy Bebi A : You always say you're busy, you're hurting my feelings... She then put her face down on the sofa. Drama queen!
