Simply New Year
I didn't realize that I've been absent from this activity for more than a month. I thought I posted not too long ago. How time fly... Faster and faster... I was being reminded by Gary (thanks dude!) that I have not been updating. So here I am penning a thing or two.
So what happen to me lately?
I am one month old in my new company. Totally new experience from my previous one, aside from meeting the clients. I have to learn from scratch again. And am been feeling that my education has been somewhat a waste in this office. I feel so lost and useless sometimes. Yet, at the same time, as much as I want to help, I feel more like a nuisance rather than accommodating. Other than that, everything is cool. I come home later than my previous regular hours, but for some reason, you just don't feel it. And before you know it, Jon would start paging me asking me what time to pick me up... Oh, on the same note...
We bought a car! A 2005 Red Mitsubishi Cold Plus Sport (The term "Sport" is just to indicate that you got some extra fog light. Sometime I wonder if the car maker is short in inventing another cooler name rather than "Sport" to indicate that we got some extra lighting. If anybody can input me on this, hahahaha. Sport and fog light does not really gel on me). What attract me to the car the most was the automated trunk door. Me like cool gadget. Honestly when Jon first mention about getting a car, a small part of me was worried. Car in Singapore is ridiculously expensive, and we pretty much spend the same amount of money (if not more) on this car as my used E320 Mercedes back in US. But since it's only a small part of me was worried, the bigger part of me, scream, "Yay!" Hehehe... I'm so weak. Now, aside from Merz or Beamers, I don't really like sedan. Look oldie to me. I like the shape of Audi TT, The Mustang (yeah, baby!), or more sporty (fog lights or not, hehehe) look. Hence, the other car that was somewhat attracting me during the shopping around was Hyundai Tuscani, or as my cousin Jimmy would like to say, "A poor man's..." Porsche. Beside the rugged CRV type or the Merz M-Class, another type of car that I like would be the rounded butt or people here call it "hatchback" cars. And my car falls into this category. I love the Minis (Coopers) and Pikachu VW's Bug, so Honda Jazz/ Fit was quite attractive, until they showed me the back seat that can fold like a cheap IKEA plastic chair. And they just go by brand and charge you crazy amount of dollars. And still minus the automated trunk door. So when Jon introduced me to this car, I was hooked. And I was ready to settle for the silver color, until I saw the wine-red color. It renewed my love for red cars. My first dream or red car was dashed when I got my first car, the silver Buick (just in case you don't know what Buick is, it's under General Motor and totally an American car). Then come my second, the dark grey Merz and I thought I was mellowed. Don't get me wrong, I always appreciate what my parents got me :) But now for my current car... The most expensive car we ever bought (coz came from my own pocket)... I just have to have it. Red, cute and loud :P
And without realizing… today is Valentine’s Day. The day that I usually dreaded the most. I did not have high hopes of anything special today, but Jon surprise me with a dinner and a movie. (*Of course, by the time this blog is posted, all these things had happen, hence I can recount all the special things that happen at this day). Jon that I knew does not really appreciate giving flowers. When he dated me, only once he gave me flower. And it’s only one gangly stock of Lily. Yes, the Lily was huge and fragrant. And since, he bought flowers alright but they’re addressed to my mom. The lilies became my mom’s favorite now because Jon indulged her with them. (BTW, my mom never liked receiving flower until Jon started giving a bouquet for her). I learned with this habit that he likes Lily the most. His reason was practical, “smells nice!” He doesn’t really like roses. “Too common,” he said. So I was surprised when last Thanksgiving he bought me a bouquet of Lilies and even more pleasantly surprised when he got me a Sunflower bouquet today! Again he break the habit by changing flower on me. But with the choice of flower he said his message to me, “You are the sun in my life…” *Cue: Awww… I was on my way to deliver Valentine Cakes for Elaine’s clients, Jon took me to the bakery and help me carried the cakes to the client. And since it’s already close to 6pm, we went straight ahead to Great World city where my Valentine treat awaited. We ate dinner at Kenny Rogers and then proceed to our movie, a very romantic choice… “Jumper” *Cue Laughter. Hey at least he tried. (For some silly reason, there’s no romantic movie available). After a so-so movie, he let me know that the first plan was to dine at Al Dente and he already booked, but because I ended up early, we managed to catch dinner early. I know we didn’t get to go to Al Dente, but just the thought that he actually booked the place for us, is just too sweet for me.
And the honeymoon continues…
