Week 2 of 2008

This has been one of my busiest weeks so far...but why is it that I feel like I haven't got a lot done?

It's not like I haven't been able to do much really, but I just don't feel like I've done A LOT.

I think I'm a workaholic. Or that I just don't like to hang around and do nothing.

But I'm glad that I'm actually doing something productive though. It makes me feel...........

Efficient!!!

That's one of the best things I've heard all week! HAHA!

Now, I'm convinced I'm a workaholic. :)

*************************
On something totally unrelated, I'm going to move to my new place tomorrow. I'm so damn "pok kai" now lar...I have moving cos it always burns a big hole in my pocket. And it's hardly the middle of the month yet.

But on a brighter note, the new place seems quite alright. So I'm quite looking forward to having my own place nearer to work. (Meaning I can walk to work, and save me from bugging people to give me rides and all. Even if they don't mind, I can't really rely on people to do that all the time right?)

So...time to pack. I came with 2 suitcases, but my stuff can't fit into them anymore. *sigh*

Deep...

Real deep.

What is?

My own grave.

And I dug it myself.

The only thing left is probably the epitaph...

Sunday 6 January 2008

Great news for me!!!

Yes, at least for me now...

After a daunting first week back at work (with things going wrong left, right and centre...), I got one of the greatest news I'd never thought I'd hear from one of my colleagues.

There's a Malaysian restaurant in Cardiff!!!

YooHoo!!!!!

Of course, I tracked down the place yesterday and sped right in to order myself some decent Malaysian food right when I checked out the menu outside. (Just to make sure that they really DO sell Malaysian food. And damn right they do!!!)


Woohoo!!!

Not too bad, and the price range is OK as well. Though I have to say the one in London is still better than this one, but beggars can't be choosers right?

Starter: Pergedel...

It does taste like what it is back home. (*Tears streaming*)

Main course: Laksa

This is exactly what I've been craving for for ages! WOO!!! And I can ask them to make it spicier. HAHAHA!!!!

And with "Balik Kampung" music playing in the background (I kid you not...) it almost felt like home...and it reminds me that I'll be back home in about 3 weeks!!!

Yeah yeah yeah!!!

*****************************
After lunch, I met up with Wioletta and Jack, and they brought me around Cardiff, in search of Oriental food and shops.

Finally, this store warehouse on the outskirts sells EVERYTHING you can imagine. It's even better than all the Oriental stores in Newcastle's Chinatown put together! (So it's OK for now for Cardiff not to have a Chinatown. Hehe...)

Oh, they're so nice, and when I move next week, we'll be living in almost the same area and considered "neighbours" then!

Fab Saturday, I tell you. FAB!!!

And I just want to say...

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!!!
