One night in Bangkok ....

I'm a firm believer in not letting disgusting things be witnessed alone. 2 weekends ago ,me & a couple of my friends went to Bangkok for a short shopping trip. When I entered the hotel room, from afar I could see a cockroach crawling across the top of the sofa which is at the end of the room. I quickly called my squeamish roommate (who was still chatting outside ,with 2 of my other friends) to tell her the precise measurements (it's huge) & trajectory of the roach. If I had to sleep in that room for the night, knowing where it had been, I'm taking her down with me.

AS expected she screamed, almost deafen the bell boy whose helping us with our luggage. The manager was immediately alerted to our crisis & immediately change us to a better room on a higher floor :)) Bangkok is wonderful !!!!

Such a beautiful place !!!

When a friend leaves ...

Yesterday I received a text from a colleague from another department, a good friend, he had joined the bank almost the same time as me. That's probably why there's sort of a kinship between us. He gave it to me straight, he is leaving. I felt the base of my stomach drop out, just for a second, like it does on a roller-coaster, when you're at the top & about to tip over & it's too late to change your mind & go back.

I cant believe it. He's the second person I'm close to, who's leaving! My favorite lunch partner left beginning of this month. Feeling a little depressed right now!

A perfect boy friend for me?

February was great- the month is short & there's CNY & Valentines. I had a really good time. March would be seriously challenging (31 days !!!!!! ), thank god there'll be Good Friday at the end of the month. So looking forward to it!

A minute ago a colleague just invited all of us to her house warming this weekend! What a relief!!!
Something fun to do at last. I love house warming parties. Most of my colleagues have such good taste, I'm serious. The few houses of my other colleagues that I've been to were so tastefully renovated, makes me want to go buy a house immediately. I told my colleagues that & they reminded me, first I've to find a new boy friend- RICH one preferably , then quickly get married!

After that day, some of them have been trying to "fix" me up with several guys- all ready to buy me that ''dream house". If only it's that simple. Today's lunch would be such a date. My boss must be getting restless as he's into this craze as well. Today's date, is someone he knows, a client/friend, the perfect guy for me, as he puts it! Oh Boy ......

The thing about Reunion Dinners.

Today is my Family's CNY reunion dinner. I don't remember when did it started to be held not on the traditional CNY eve & way before it like today. It's probably born out of necessity. See my siblings are married & they have to attend the reunion dinner of their spouses' side. So.... which side to attend? In the end it has been agreed that we choose a weekend that's 'convenient' for everyone.

Then on the actual CNY Eve, I'll end up having to be the only one dinning with my poor parents, who are not really that happy about the situation. It's like they have to give in to the other side! Anyway I have remedied that situation. I'll be inviting other "homeless' people to my place. Not really homeless as in no where to stay, rather there's a big group of people with no where to go during the eve. You'll be surprise!

I've a single mum friend, a couple of foreigner colleagues all without immediate family to 'celebrate' the eve. So they will be coming to my place :))

People,there is more to life than dating !

I kept telling everyone that, as 'well-meaning ' friends are endlessly trying to "fix" me up with some "GREAT GUY". It's getting VERY tiring.

For once I could get up late during the weekends & do practically nothing. Then I gather my parents & we go tim sum. Seriously, my parents are enjoying my 'single status'. They get to see me more. And we get to go to all the "IT" Tim Sum places in town.

I even have time to email some friends who had allocated abroad, check their facebook entries etc... Then there's reading, finally..... I could finish a couple of really good books. I never have time to read when I was dating- no time for myself!

My BFF suggest I get a cat ....lol.... She send me this pic :))

Do we really need another person to complete us?

Everyone is concern about my single status. Cant blame them, in the past I do go everywhere with my X & everyone is so used to seeing him when I'm around. Maybe they just need to get used to seeing me alone. Funny thing is , why do people immediately associate loneliness with single people?

Do we really need another person to complete us? I'm feeling just fine & enjoying myself. What's best is I do not have to compromise everything anymore. I can take all kinds of spicy food now. Before everything needs to be mild because he has a 'sensitive' stomach. Now I can load in tons of chilli & enjoy the fiery spicy food all I want! What a relief!

I can also watch all my favorite shows. Dr Oz, American sitcoms etc... I don't have to ever watch another cartoon ever! Ya... he loves cartoons, don't ask me...I don't understand either:(( Well it's a Saturday & I'm home feeling sick, so thought, I'll update my blog.

 Since we are on this subject, I'm enjoying my peace at home, it's so quiet. I'm sick, yet happy ...lol.... In the past he'll be like texting me for the tenth time by now to check on me !

Single ladies

After my break-up, my other single friends welcome me to their club as a temporary member ....lol... Those who were without a bf for the longest time laughed so hard & told me to get a new bf asap. But I think I'll wait. It is just so much fun now. I can go out with who ever I want.

These single ladies were complaining about other well meaning friends & relatives & the weirdest & annoying things they do say. Here are some funny ones I like to share:

Things single ladies are tired of hearing !

1. “How are you still single? You’re so great.”

2. “It’ll happen when you least expect it.”

3. “Don’t you ever get lonely?”

4. “One day when you’re married, you’ll wish you were single.”

5. “There are plenty of fish in the sea.”

6. “You’re just too picky.”

7. “You should let me set you up, I know the perfect person for you.”

8. “ Sooner or later , it’ll happen.”

9. “So, are you seeing anyone?”
