Oh God. One can die over here. If there’s no such thing as the air-cond in this world, I think I would’ve died a month ago. It is THAT hot! Well maybe it’s not as hot as the desert, but STILL. It’s not good for my hair! And skin, for that matter. Can you imagine what it would about like to have a cold, freezing weather in Sabah? Picture me (or yourself) on the CozyWinters.com heated mattress pad, sipping margarita, watching reruns of Desperate Housewives all day long while the man complains about not having enough food on the table. LOL.. what a scene it would be.

So yeah.. a nice cold weather would be nice for us KKians.

Rain God, could you please send us some rain?

Subject: Whose spider is that?

Dear Jane,

Are you sure this drawing of a spider is the one I sent you? This spider only has seven legs and I do not feel I would have made such an elementary mistake when I drew it.

Regards,
David.

Dear David,

Yes it is the same drawing. I copied and pasted it from the email you sent me on the 8th. David your account is still overdue by the amount of $233.95.
Please make this payment as soon as possible.

Yours sincerely,

Hello, I am back and have read through your emails and accept that despite missing a leg, that drawing of a spider may indeed be the one I sent you. I realize with hindsight that it is possible you rejected the drawing of a spider due to this obvious limb omission but did not point it out in an effort to avoid hurting my feelings. As such, I am sending you a revised drawing with the correct number of legs as full payment for any amount outstanding. I trust this will bring the matter to a conclusion.

Regards,
David.

I understand and will definitely make a payment this week if I remember. As you have not accepted my second drawing as payment, please return the drawing to me as soon as possible. It was silly of me to assume I could provide you with something of completely no value whatsoever, waste your time and then attach such a large amount to it.

Regards,
David.

Anyway, my sister suggested to me that we should sign up for the Mount Kinabalu climbing expedition come February. “There’s a promo going on!”, she said. Uhm.. first of all, I’m not THAT fit. Yet. Second of all, I do not have all the equipments or clothes for that. Not even a cortech sport tail bag. Most importantly.. I do not have that enthusiast, yet. Maybe when I’m done with my 30 Days Shred, I will consider it.

Anyway.. whoa..it’s so hot today. Anyone for ice-cream? Let’s head to the beach!

Anyway. I was called by this huge, international makeup company for an interview today. The interview went ok. The salary offer was great. They even offered a meal allowance, makeup allowance, overtime allowance, sales commission.. and I heard that there’s also shoes allowance! Ha ha.. mana mau cari tuh? BUT the only con is: the working hours! Gahhhh.. why must there be a con. Can’t they just give me pros without the cons? :-( AND.. I will have to work on weekends. So sad. Anyway, I’m gonna give it a thought before deciding anything.

On the other hand, I’ve been actively brushing up my designing skills once again. I managed to design a new logo for a client before Christmas and this was what I did:

Just a simple black & white logo as per requested by the client. And we have another happy client! :-D

But to sum it up, I’m really glad our things finally arrived safely. No box went missing and no items were stolen too, as far as I can tell.

Merry Christmas, everyone. :-)

So far, we LOVE our new life here. Or rather, the fiance is enjoying his new life over here. And what’s more… we got ourselves a new puppy! \(^_^)/

A very, very naughty and playful puppy, but all is good. Currently, we’re reading manuals on How To Train Your Dragon Puppy. You’d be surprised at how many info you can gather through online alone!

Well, life is gonna be good over here. I’m really sure of it.

Of course the paint on the walls are brand new but I’d like to have something different. Something that reflects ‘me’. He he he. And this time, I WILL turn this house into something sweet. *fingers cross* I don’t care what my fiance will say, too girlish, too soft.. he will have to take it or leave it. LOL.

Oh dear, I need to do so many things but we’re still car-less. Waiting for my aunt to come over now.. we’ll be using one of her car until our car arrives. In the mean time, I guess I would have to start cleaning the house since we do not have any Internet access to use those free downloader to get new movies. LOL. But thank God for broadbands la. At least I get to go on the Internet still!

Then I started to work from home as a freelance before venturing into something totally different. A job that requires me to work at night. NOT as a kupu-kupu malam, ok?! :-P

Anyway, now that we’re moving to another state again..I’d like to start anew. I want to be a Graphic Designer again!! So boys and girls, please start sending in your graphic design/blog design requests again starting JANUARY 2012! *hee* I’m moving on December and I need to setup my studio again, get some humidor and some pretty decent decoration, new paint for the walls and probably a brand new computer. I can’t wait!!

Normally, I’d play Christmas music at the beginning of December. This year, I started playing it mid November. I’m feeling so Christmassy, perhaps? *hee* Also, maybe the fact that my fiance just got a very good job offer from this huge company and that we’re moving soon – just made my day. (or month!) And despite the hassles of packing stuff (again), I am glad to know that THIS could be the final packing I’ll make – except when we buy our new home and have to move again lah..

And the thought of being at home for Christmas is just so nice…. Being surrounded by the people that you grow up with, a pet that thought she’s human like us..and a neighborhood where everyone knows everyone! Oh I hope there’ll be weddings coming up! Last year we celebrated the grand wedding of my cousin, Will..and boy, did everyone had so much fun! I should’ve gotten his new wife a sexy wedding lingerie and make her wear it on her hens night! LOL

Oh well, hopefully there’ll be another cousin getting married this Christmas – I sooo cannot wait to eat some wedding cakes! Ha ha ha

\(^_^)/
