aLL tHinGs SeT & ReaDY
It's definitely a new phase in our lives. Every evening, I can't wait to get off work & rush back to our "love nest" & enjoy ourselves doing nothing much but just snuggle together cozily to watch TV. It's either to watch programs on ASTRO, or to continue our TVB series Drive of Life. After dinner which we nowadays prefer to "ta pau" back & enjoy it at our room, I'll play my role as the perfect girlfriend, clearing the dishes, throwing out the rubbish & preparing fruits for Dada as dessert.
I'm such a perfect wonderful soon-to-be wife, ain't I?

CoMinG HoMe SooN, eVeryOnE!
Got a call from mum again several nights ago. She can't wait to have me & Dada back home again. She's at the same time, also excited about what we'll be bringing back. Several TVB drama series that she has been going on & on for months now. Since the DVD is out, she wanted me to courier it back; but then I told her I'll watch it first..;-p
Next, there's another person who can't wait for us to be back. MY BAOBEI NIECE...she grabbed the phone from mum & said "Gugu, remember to bring your camera back" I was wondering what she's up to & asked why she needed it. She said, " It's my school concert on the 27th, remember?" Oh yes, dear..your aunt is getting old..so it really slipped out of my mind.
Have been eyeing on a particular camera model for a while now. Sony Cybershot T-70...My existing camera, a Canon..is getting old..& too bulky for my liking (A good excuse to get a new one). It was actually a X'mas present from Mum in 2004 before I started working. I still like it but the trouble with it is the batteries are getting old & after getting it fully charged, I suppose I can only take less than 10 pics before it dies off again.
Dada said we could just change the batteries...but then NOPE! I want a new one!! Further more, it's only 3.2 megapix, which is getting obsolete nowadays. Even dada's Sony Ericsson K800i is already 3.2 megapix. So how could an actual camera lose out to a handphone + camera? I'll get it, definitely. I told Baobei I'll buy a new camera to take stunning pictures of her (who loooves posing for me since 2 years old & come Dec, she'll be 10).
Next, baobei said, "Gugu, remember one more thing..to get me...." "What is it?" I have really no idea what she meant. Then she said "Huh, you've forgotten..."(sounding sad & disappointed). Then I recalled, "Oh..I know..it's HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL.." She added in "2..Gu, it's High School Musical 2" ~Sigh~ she HAS to be so specific...Like Aunt, like niece...*wink*wink*
OK, baobei, just ensure that you remember your dance steps & the T&C that I have briefed you b4 I get you the DVD...

NeW RooM
There are still alot of stuff that we need to buy. Last week, have gone down to KL twice, but still unable to get all the things I need. My shopping list looks like it is not getting shorter after 2 trips last week. Have I added on more & more stuff on it, or was I not focused on buying the things on the list & instead bought other stuff? Hmmm...I just wonder...
Will be going down for the third trip today after work. Dada said to ensure that this is the LAST ONE. He doesn't want me to go down anymore with the excuse "for the new room". OK OK..I'll try & get everything done by today..

NeW ASTRO InStaLLaTioN
At lunch time, I went over to the new room & also bought take away lunch for dada. He was at 18-18 cleaning & hanging the new curtains. I walked into the building, an ASTRO salesman someone stopped me & promoted the new promotion to me. Was very interested, took the flyers from him along with his business card to go up to Dada.
Told dada about the whole thing. He was reluctant at 1st, then I put on my charms & started convincing him. Gave him reasons as to why I'd like to install ASTRO:
EPL & other Sports related:
1. Can watch EPL matches at the comfort of our own room
2. No need to go down to mamak & inhale all those 2nd hand smoke
3. Can definitely get good seats & view to watch the match
4. Can be controlled by ourselves which match we wanna watch (if there are 2 matches going on at the same time)
Wah Lai Toi & Asian shows:
1. Will definitely get to watch everynight so it won't go wasted. My shifts are normally 1000-1800hrs, so I won't miss any of the Wai Lai Toi shows (unlike dada, who work shifts & might miss one or the other episodes, but dear, they have repeat sessions which u can adjust according to your liking..;)
2. Be updated on all the entertainment & fashion news around Hong Kong, Taiwan..etc
3. More topics for discussion with frens & family members
After eating our take away lunch, we went down to enquire more details. The salesman just needed us to fill in the form & a copy of IC, that's all. Dada just pulled out his IC for the salesman to help fill in the form. I was surprised (don't even need to think, so "soon tan"). "Huh, da, u don't need time to consider?" "No need la, it's worth it for my dearest angel to be happy!" *yessss....wink wink*

1818 WiNs 1st PriZe!
The previous day, I called her to tell her about Dada's & my new room number. I asked her to buy 4D as both Dada & I don't. Was thinking if it's good luck, might as well share it with those closest to me.
My niece told me, "Gugu, popo has something to tell u" and she passed the phone to mum:
Mum: B, the number u gave me struck 4D, u know? (I thought she was joking)
Me: Come on mum, seriously, is it true?
Mum: Of coz la, or else y would I call you so late at nite? I called just to tell you the news!
Me: Really? Which number was it?
Mum: 1818 la..Ah Fui's (dada) number! Your number didn't come out.
Me: Waaa..really? How much did u win? What number came out? (in what sequence)
Mum: The exact number 1818! Me? I won few thousands la..not much
(Dad in background) Tell her, it's not enough to cover their car plate number 9714 that I have been buying everyweek since July!
Me: WOW! That's great!
Mum: Yeah, so u can expect a treat when you guys are back (in a lower tone) You know ur dad, don't worry about what he said. He's just as excited & happy as me!
Me: Hahaha..can't wait for the GRAND SEAFOOD FEAST in 2 weeks' time when we go back..
Wow..we have been really lucky recently...just hope that Lady Luck will stay with us forever..

ReCenT HaPPeNinGs...
Last week, I was "targetted" twice for random snapshots taken. Went to a Crystal Exhibition opening on the 29th of Sept. There were several photographers there to cover the launching. Suddenly, one came up to me & asked me to pose beside a giant piece of crystal. Not sure which newspaper he is working for, I hesitated (especially when the situation made me feel more embarassed than proud as all my fellow colleagues were laughing at me!)
Then, there was this SMILE campaign going on around the workplace. Our in-house photographer was walking around, snapping pictures randomly & I happened to be caught! Further more, he didn't tell me he decided to use that photo to be put in a "Hall of Fame" of smiling employees..Felt so embarassed, the picture wasn't the best pic of me & I HATE it being put up there!
2 Choices of New Love Nest
22-37
After months of eager anticipation, finally we received an official announcement to draw lots for the newly built units for Asst Managers. I have been waiting for it as I realised I should be better off staying alone. Not that my current roommates are unbearable, it's just that due to our difference in shifts & lifestyles, they somehow or rather always wake me up when I'm in Dreamland. I get woken up easily by the slightest sound. Hence, it's good news that these units are single rooms & I don't have to share.
Not really sure what to wish for, I just picked a number from the lot. 22-37, hmm..not too bad, my fav number 7 is there. My unit is quite far from the lift. However, I'll get to enjoy the peace & quiet (hopefully) as not many would be walking past it.
18-18
Next, Dada's turn to draw. There was a large crowd, much larger crowd than the female session the previous day. Earlier on, I wished for a room totally opposite from mine so that we'll get 'the best of both worlds'. But then, Dada wished for the most auspicious Chinese number..the best in the whole building (18-18).
When his turn came, we were both excited. Sure enough, he picked the BEST number from the bowl - 18-18..the whole crowd WOWed us....was sooo happy! We were the center of attention in that room from the second dada's number was announced. We were just so happy that we didn't care much. But wherever we go or whoever we walked past, there's the remark "wah..u got 18-18" Both our wishes came true as his room is on the opposite end of mine 4 floors lower & facing a different view. So, this is our selected new Love Nest...
Dada, how come u r always so smart & lucky? - to be able to pick the BEST number in the whole lot...just as u picked the BEST girl (ME) among all the rest more than 2 & a half years ago??
