Life goes on....

Valentine's Day over now. It's become such a hyped-out event where people spend 2 even 3 times more on that day for their partner. Flowers, chocolate, card and a present. That's just the basic. For a romantic meal, restaurants mark up their regular price, ok so they call it a special valentines dinner, up to 30%!! Just to show that you are being loved?
That doesn't mean that I didn't get anything from Dave. Course I did, the night before. I was meant to be in class on Valentines day, but I called sick for that and Dave had to work. It was a last minute change. So there, I still celebrate it, only smartly. I got a card, flowers and a hot-water bottle teddy bear for me to bring overseas and keep me warm. Nice huh? I loved it. Dave got a card, a David Hasselhof biography and a power-point remote. He always wanted that. He love it!! Oh oh, and long long cuddles.
So there. Life goes on now.
There's an old Japanese saying, If you can fold 1000 origami, you'll get a wish.
What will yours be?

The moment has arrived.....

It is finally here! For 3 years, we have been waiting for this moment. We have slogged, we have suffered, we have endured the pain, the tiredness, the lack of proper sleep! Finally the results have come. They now have published it in black and white that WE are now recognised! This is what they promise
  • a higher basic pay
  • an allowance for us overseas
  • a 4 year plan for our career path

However, my fellow peeps, lets not get our hopes up too high! For we have been let down once too many. We shall wait, again. We shall see, again. Will we be disapointed once more?

Tune in for the answers. Oh yes....stay tuned. I cannot tell you when. It could be tomorrow, next week, next month or even next year!!
