Random thoughts !

I need to chill and relax.

Anyways, the weekend - the weekend! The weekend was good. I got only a few things done, although not nearly as much as I’d hoped. Basically I was jumping from one thing to another, especially Saturday. There was hardly any time to breathe, but that’s fine, because today I’m well rested. I have to appraise Jane for Tyra’s last minute b-day party; she really did a lot to make this happen. I didn’t even make anything or help at all. If you know me at all, I always try to make something. But this year, I told Jane if she wanted something I’ll just buy it at Costco, it’s just so much faster. Ok, I think I need some inspiration to actual be inspire to cook something.

I can’t believe my little baby turned 4 years old, time sure pass by quickly. It’s amazing how tiny she once was and now she’s running around the house like she owns everything. Seem like the family is getting closer nowadays, which is something I’ve hoped for a very long time ago. The family circle is getting bigger and happier- things are turning around in a really positive ways. I can’t believe Claire is so big now; she’s the cutest 1 yr old w/ an attitude. =) gotta love that! It’s funny how Joanne and I were talking about kid’s party these days as we drove off to Walgreen to buy a Bingo game for Tyra’s party. Man, back in the days if we got a birthday cake, some pizza and chips for our birthday- that was all we needed. But these day, a little kid’s birthday –everyone goes all out to celebrate this occasion, especially the presents. No wonder kids are spoiled these days! (Ok, I’m guilty and a hypocrite for what I’ve just said.)

Ok, I liked this balance of letting myself get some stuff done, but not try to get everything done. For instance, in addition to doing co-workers’ taxes, I cleaned up my list of things to do. While I normally would have felt it necessary to finish everything on the list, I stuck to just doing what I can do w/ out that rush. Maybe one day this next week, I can take my time and finish the whole list off. This will keep myself from going crazy and doing too much and getting frustrated and instead letting myself let some stuff go and have some down time? Let’s hope I remember that from now on, I need to chill and relax. So here I was lying in bed not sleeping, thinking about all of this, I realized that I’ve been working at my current company for 2 years in April. Wow! Time does pass by quickly huh? Reading back on all my past journals, I can’t believe I’m still working here. Things are so much easy now, I think I’ve become a bit comfortable working here –I’ll definitely miss this place when I do decided to leave in a few years.

Even though, I’m not a big fan of Chinese New Year.. I always find myself cleaning my room and washing my clothes that very day of Chinese New Year's Eve. I guess, somehow this has become a tradition without me actually acknowledge it till now. Anyways, I was amazed that I got more red envelopes aka lucky money than last year. Hmmm.. Can’t help but wonder if wealth is for those born in the year of the horse? =) I already know what I’m going to use the $$ for.

You know, I have so much I could write about right now, but I just don’t have the energy. We will see if tomorrow brings that energy needed to make a good post flow. Hopefully it will be a nice day as well, ’cause I would like to take a relaxing walk on the pier –if not, I’ll settle for the bookstore w/ a cup of latte. =)

For now, I better go to sleep!! Good night ya.
