10/9/2010 Friday, took a flex day off. Had breakfast with mummy and Rui at Garden City shopping center at 6.30am because Rui had to go to work. Chatted with mummy over tea until 9.30am... that was when the shops started to open. Shopped the whole day and bought decorations for the house. It is ALWAYS fun shopping with your own mother! :) Oh yes, and it was Hari Raya. No lemang or whatsoever but it was a happy day.

911 Saturday, woke up at 6.45am because Rui couldn't sleep anymore -_-'' He went out of the room and I checked FB in bed. Saw Jake and Riley's raya pics which my sister-in-law tagged me in! A great start for a wonderful day.

Suddenly saw him walking out of the other toilet... the first thing he asked was "why are you up so early?! Are you happy?? Happy birthday!!! I think I heard you jump, could you reenact the scene again? :D"

I thought I had received my birthday present on Friday -- he gave me permission to spend $100 on clothes and a lottery ticket. THAT was gold because he doesn't let me buy unnecessary stuff, saying that I have way too many clothes... erm, hello?! It's never enough. So I bought a jumpsuit from Bardot and a lottery ticket for exactly one hundred dollars. *乖*

Received a text message from Tim, my colleague. So nice of him to remember my birthday every year! He printed out the birthday message and put it on my desk last year ;)

My two most important chefs were preparing the ingredients for the currypuffs and springrolls. The birthday girl helped out with the dough kneading and etcetera too :P

Jacqueline, her hubby and her brother-in-law gave us a pineapple (which means ong lai), a gold pumpkin (kam guai?) and lots of corns... very auspicious! :) Charlene and Benson gave us a coffee machine, a toaster and a bath and shower gel for me :)

Moved out from the apartment into the new house last month. I wasn't keen at first... thinking that I wouldn't have the comfort of sitting in the passenger seat, being sent to and picked up from the office every single working day... after staying here for a month - which is how long I've taken the bus to work - everything is turning out to be PERFECT.

The movers were two hours late!!! Rui and I helped out so that we didn't have to pay that much - they charged AU$100 an hour, $25 more compared to the rate five years ago.

So, we bought Roomba to help us out with the vacuuming and since the day it came home with us, it has made our lives easier. Plus, it was on sale at Harvey Norman! They slashed the price from $500 to $390, so it was a bargain ;)

The other good thing about the house is that it is equipped with security alarms and sensor lights. Rui also bought an IP cam for extra security. We will be able to control it from wherever in the world as long as there is Internet connection. :D

Returned my brother's call and talked to Jake for a while. I heard koko asking "Do you want to talk to Mai Jas?"... and Jake replied "Yessss". SO CUTE!

Jake, "Haiiiiii!"
Me, "Hiii Jake!"
Jake, "Is popo coming back?"
Me, "-_____- Yesss, she is going back soon. Do you want to speak to popo?"
Jake, "Yesssss"
Passed the phone to mummy and I think Jake asked about crocodiles and stuff. She said it's cold out there, that's why we didn't visit the crocs, then Jake went "is there snow?!"

If only I get to be with him 24/7!!! I miss everyone back home. So thankful that I have Rui and mummy here with me.

We'll have to start packing this weekend. Pre-settlement date inspection on Saturday! Woohoo!!! My colleague has also purchased a new house but he has 30years worth of packing to do, whereas I, only three. I wouldn't have the heart to leave a house after 30 years... there's just too many memories. Told koko that I don't ever want to move again after this. Better stay put at one house for the rest of my life, unless the next house is better than the current one :P
