Life is busy but good

Shu's a quitter! The Salsa classes failed to launch. I've missed 4 classes now, due to busy after-work travel planning work and well, lack of prolonged enthusiasm for that type of dance style.

I've missed blogging (relax Shu, it's been only 2 weeks) soooo much. Many days passed when I wanted to write so badly but did not make it before my auto-shut down time.

On a serious note, I have come to realise that I am only as good as the things I practice regularly. It applies to nearly everything in my life; skills, thoughts, habits, etc.

There's only one thing on my mind and that's the destination I'm traveling to in a week's time. My days are plagued with disturbed sleep (rare in Shu-burbia), attention deficit disorders, panic attacks and respiratory ailments. The goal is NOT to die of exhilaration in the next few days leading to the actual holiday.

Rihanna's biggest fan these days:

Another weekend

Thursdays at work are exciting. We now have an "end of the week incentive". We are allowed to leave any hour early, in return for cutting short our lunch break by half hour. Fair enough.

It is not surprising to get persistent calls from banks trying to give away "free credit cards". But today, I had another interesting call.

Ring Ring...
Shu: Hello?
X: Hai
Shu: Yes hello? Who is this?
X: Hai
Shu: May I know what this is regarding?
X: Friendship
Shu: No thanks, I'm not interested. (hangs up. $^&*@@@.)

This caller has been saved as "Asshole 3" in my contacts. Just so I remember not to pick up any calls.

I've spotted a rather skinny (and possibly pregnant) cat in the office car park several times. So now, believe it or not, I carry two tins of cat food in my bag, waiting for the day I spot her again. Uh-oh Shu, you're turning into one of those old ladies who feed strays!

I sit next to one of the network printers. In a day, many people come and go past my desk as they collect their printouts. One man (heavy user), however, seems to think I am the sole guardian of this printer. Whenever the printer runs out of paper, he ask me "No paper?". And I think loudly,  "Does it look like I have a stash of paper hidden away especially for you, moron??". Also, in the many months I have sat there, not once have I seen this man walk a few extra metres to get a few extra packs of paper, for the convenience of others. I've been tempted ask him several times, "Why don't you go down and get some extra paper, for a change?". But I've kept my mouth shut, fearing repercussions.

Rihanna is slowly growing on me...



On a positive note, I've moved to the Town of Digby in Mousehunt to catch the Digby Dirt Dwellers and I have not been disappointed! So many new types of mice!

Whatsapp???!

The good winds are catch up once again! I'm off on a sailing trip tomorrow. Yay!

Smart phones are the best invention since winged sanitary napkins (WHY the hell is it called a napkin???) Oh well, nevermind... I have been instant messaging with my friends and family from all over the world, thanks to Whatsapp! I try to strike a work-life balance while at work.

Just renewed Bumblebee's registration and insurance and I have 1 year of accident free driving on record. *pats myself*. I wanted to make it fine-free too, but that failed when I got one parking fine early this year . Seriously governments earn back all costs of roadside cameras and electricity for traffic lights just by collecting fines from idiot drivers, and probably make a huge profit margin too!

Sadly, we cant install hi-tec cameras in our country. There are plenty of people with brains that tell them to go steal such a sophisticated piece of equipment, just for the heck of it! So for now, it is good old-fashioned police uncles standing behind bushes with radar guns - the type with "erasable" memory" (meaning ones that can be erased with a small fee) :P.

The other day a colleague of mine asked me for walnuts from my nuts/ protein store at work (yes, I keep nuts at my desk). In return for those, she told me that I can take cigarettes from her pack ANY time I wanted. She KNOWS I don't smoke. Weird woman.

Recently while dad was visiting, I asked him if he wanted perfume when we were all dressed and ready to go out. He said, "Everyone around me wears enough perfume, I don't need any!". Today, I realised how true that is. I felt suffocated in the morning when 5 different people, cramped in one vehicle, wore 5 different perfumes!

Whaddaya know! This girl can actually sing! Wow, what an awesome sized bed :O
