Minus 10% excitement... I feel like a kid again...

Vienna

Going to Vienna tomorrow. And will be there for a week for training. Usually when I am out of state, I seldom do a lot or Internet-y things... so I may not reply mails or check blogs or even blog. I will try so pen my experience. But going with my boss is a bit scary as he is a big drinker and I guess I still have my inferiority complex-type nature in me. So its actually with mixed feelings that I go. Its perhaps 20% excitement, 20% miss Kat, 40% anxiety because I scared what I am about too learn is gonna be too heavy for me (pray that I am a good sponge) and 20% relunctance to step out of my comfort zone (this is the first time I'm gonna travel so far away alone!)

I feel like a mountain tortise again! Like when I first went to Perth for 'consulting' work. See here...

The need to blog

I see that brokenvase has been stagnant for some time as I was 'offline' at home and with a bunch of tourists dwelling in my (new) place while I am on leave is like entering into another dimensions.

Since monday it was back to reality for me. Work, normal day to day stuff all starting to get back into the routines. There are stuff to tie up for the house. A new security system little stuff here and there. But mostly we were just lazing around for the past 3 days after the group left. I finished my first oil painting and is hanging on the wall now. lol. My first attempt at non-digital art. kekeke.

We both agreed that now suddenly we feel so small in this BIG house. I had to actually shout for Kat when she is 'somewhere' in the house. Reminds me of days when I was back at the Pasir Ris place.

Next step... Weeding... hmm... the small flowers growing at the end of the weeds seems nice woot... tsk tsk.

a skip in my steps

there will be a skip in my steps tonight as i walk home from the bus stop. coz mervin is coming back tonight and reaching here tomolo morning...

it will be back to noisy snoring beside me every night, smelly socks on the floor, late for work every morning (coz he always needs to go toilet after breakfast), no more alone time for myself and so much more.

but there will be a smiling face to greet me in the morning, a hand to hold mine, a shoulder to lean on and even much more....

Appreciated

many may know that mervin is currently in vienna for training. and i am supposed to be studying very hard for the upcoming 2 papers for my CPA australia exam. well, i AM studying very hard. work load is lighter now but we are still rushing some deadline jobs and i happened to be doing one of them.

basically, i am all alone in australia. in our new place (1 month old place) all by myself. it is a pretty big place and it gets dark and quiet once the sun goes down at about 6 pm. and i dislike to be in quiet houses. i will have to prepare all my meals and travel to work every day for 10 days while he is not here.

mervin was particularly concerned about me before he left, wanting to stock up on grocery for me. (he's afraid i will starve) also the security system was not ready for the first 4 days he was away.

kev and lynette invited me to go over to their place whenever i wanted to have dinner (or too lazy or too busy to cook). they also offered to come stay with me over these 10 days.

jean and phil called to invite me for movie (which i have to turn down as i am really desperately trying to finish studying). jean also wanted to make sure that i was coping well and offered help if i needed anything.

mervin's mum called to make sure that i was alright as well.

be called to chat as well. talked about shopping and karoke cds.

at the end of it all, i just wanted to say that i am truly blessed with people who love me. thank you.
