Dear Diary,
Finally, the first quarter of 2014 has passed by.
I went to many lovely places for food; some of these places were utterly beautiful too. You could see details here at my Food, Travel, Thoughts and Human Interest blog here. There were breathtaking views with interesting fusion food, restaurants with panoramic views serving superb pasta, classy dimsum joints and of course scenic cafes with awesome pastries.
I wish I could travel more, but those are in the pipeline for the next couple of months. I'm itching to get on the plane and breath different air and watch a rounder moon already. Hong Kong and Canada, here I come, soon!
The new company is awesome as well - big company with many people, most of whom are friendly across departments. Good benefits, wonderful support from the superiors, and best of all I am outperforming my KPIs. Thank Deities!
At the last company event last week, I got to become a Barister for two days, serving delicious Japanese coffees and Twelve Cupcakes to clients and fellow colleagues from other departments. It was fun, but tiring. It was also rewarding because it was our new launch, and for the past two days, my baby to handle.
The friends are great as usual. I have learned to shed a couple of those who are not important anymore, or do not bother to contact me if I do not make the effort to do so. After all, I already have enough good friends on my hands to entertain and catch up with, so sod those who mean nothing. Yes, and I am still making new friends.
Money kept pouring in, in the forms of cash, cheques, gifts and incentives etc etc from different platforms, projects, sidelines and hitting the work KPIs. I am happy this month. Makes me think of Abba's song, "Money, Money, Money".
This also reminds me to kickstart on the two businesses I have been meaning to start on earlier. Research and negotiations are underway, rest assured.
Did many things I wanted to do this month, as though I am trying to live life the fullest.
Oh, the family went for the Tomb-Sweeping Ritual at the respective temples / crematorium for the annual Ching Ming festival - visiting the ancestors, namely the grandparents, and the Dad. Yes, a sad day, but a responsibility we have to fulfill as well. Read my article on Ching Ming here.
I also did some serious planning for a few things that I never thought I would be doing, at least not so soon. Ever since that thought crossed my mind, I have been oscillating between the light and the darkness. It is a very tough choice, and everyday I am trying to change the direction, but let's see how it all goes...
Saw a burned down building on my way home when we drove past. It was kind of shocking to see the familiar building which I have been passing by nearly everyday for years, looking so darkened and sinister. I hope no one is injured. These days, there are so many cases of fires and unnatural deaths, it makes one wonder if it is simply people becoming more warped / violent or social media forcing the cats out of the bags.
Well, thanks for reading, lovies, and stay tuned for the next up-date in April. Smooches and roses...
