Nice place

I’ve just found a nice dining place this morning, it’s the same place I booked my gal’s cake! The setting and ambient should be nice at night, but it was too sunny in the morning.

There should be a live band at night, so I hope that they play jazz music with Guild Guitars. It’s nice to dine at a place with great music and nice vocal!

I noticed that there are a lot of great dining in my area, but we hardly have time for dining out now.

back with loads

We went back with a medium sized luggage of clothes and an empty big luggage, but we came back with almost 80kgs of stuffs, including 2 more smaller bags and some boxes. LOL! We didn’t get to use the north face backpacks because I prefer the wheeled hand luggage, which I kept my camera, laptop and the kids’ jackets.

Hubby wanted to bring back our wedding photos, so we brought 2 frames back. One was broken into pieces since it’s a glass frame, but the photo is fine. We shall hang them up soon.

Still reno-ing

The condo is 90% completed, except the kitchen and the living room. I’m still waiting for the stove, hood, and the tiles to to be stalled, and probably see what I can do with the existing single bowl undermount sink. The workers came for a few days beginning of the month and off they went for Songkran holiday, which lasted more than 2 weeks! Then, they told me that they will return this week, but I haven’t seen their shadows. I’ve just returned last night anyway.

Not READY!

Ya, my condo is still not ready. Hubby is totally TL with the interior company, and I let him settle with them. Nonetheless, my sinus healed completely since the renovation stopped from CNY.

For the time being, we are getting used to the place, and even bought some more plants for the balcony. It’s such a small balcony and yet we are trying to max it out. LOL! As much as  I wish to have outdoor gazebos but that won’t be possible anymore, unless we have a landed property.

Honestly, I’m not sure if we will be getting a landed property in Thailand anymore, especially since the major flood last year. It’s better to stay in high rise building. :P

Busy Monday

It’s Monday, and it took me 10 minutes to get out of bed. Firstly, I slept late last night, watching some Taiwanese series of a hot hunk. :P And hubby was out drinking with a friend in the city, so I couldn’t sleep much not knowing that he’s back at home.

So this morning, kids woke up late as well but they should arrive school in time. Hubby will be away for the next couple of days, and I’m going to be very very busy!

FYI, our condo is not completed, YET. I bumped into the reno workers at the lift this morning and they are doing more than 5 units at the time. WTH. Like that when will mine be completed if they can’t come everyday???

Don’t tell me they will take one year to complete my place ok? It’s just the kitchen and some touching up and built-in racks. How long will they take?

Anyway, I have to grab some grocery today and rush home to open the door for another contractor. The road outside my office is blardy congested now, so I better leave early. I have to rush back  to pick the kids and Justin starts Thai tuition at 6pm today onwards. How can today’s schedule be so packed for me as a driver? Sigh…

I better get going now since the traffic looks pretty bad. The only vehicle can go past through will be the one with an emergency patient and  healthcare carts in it, Ya, only ambulance I think! Super crazy traffic out there.

 

Bikers

I don’t fancy big bikes but I know that most guys do. They would buy a bike as expensive as a car, install some zero gravity windscreens, change some parts of the bike and go biking in a gang. I’m not taking about young men, but old men as well!

Some time ago, I saw a gang of bikers, aged over 60 by estimation, stopping by the rest stop of the highway.  I salute these uncles. By that age, I prefer to be chauffeured around. :P

Angpao?

I have just remembered that we haven’t changed notes for angpao! I bet hubby can’t even remember about packing angpao too!

But then again, we won’t need a lot as hubby’s family members are flying over here again this year, we are only celebrating among ourselves. Instead of going to resorts like previous years, we don’t have any plan this year. LOL! Shall we just rot at home watching TV, playing gadgets and eating junks? :P

I’ve done CNY shopping only for clothes but not the rest. The condo is not ready, so I’m out of storage space. I shall make good use of the red envelope coupon codes once the condo is ready, but by then, it’s already CNY!

Happy New Year 2012

10 days into Year 2012, and so far so good. The condo is still not yet completed but we are doing fine. In fact, I can’t be bothered much about it but try to get things organized in the house. Kids are doing well with school but complained that the playground is not ready. :P

Work wise, hubby is as busy as ever and he can’t do much ironing lately!!! I’m taking turns with him, and oh boy, why do we have so much clothes piling up still?

Anyway, CNY is just around the corner and it’s time to get all festive and ready for our guests. Yeap, we are celebrating our CNY in BKK again for the 4th time! I’m yet to get new clothes for hubby and I, and there isn’t any festive goodies in our condo yet. :P Kitchen not ready la, dunno where to store the food. I must use the finish line coupons and Tesco vouchers before they expired!

Business is still pretty slow after the flood as everyone is still recovering from it. It’s going to be a tough year but hopefully, the dragon year will be a good one for all of us.

Happy New Year!3

Condo is not ready for Christmas

The kids are coming back and sadly the condo is not ready yet. We almost couldn’t get the mattresses as a lot of people are doing their post flood shopping and goods are queued for delivery. Luckily, the mattresses will arrive on the day the kids are coming home! Furniture will be in on Christmas day, so I can forget about setting up the tree this year. Fridge and washing machine will come on the day before we leave to Chiangmai. Wah lao leh…really packed schedule!

Flooring is being done these 2 days, so I haven’t checked the progress. Painting is still on hold and I haven’t see my newly reordered kitchen top yet! I do deserve a nice stay at st lucia resort after everything is over. Super stressed.

Pissed

As the clock is ticking and the flood hasn’t receded in Pathum Thani, I’m really running out of patience. I need my work permit to renew my visa and driving license, and without a visa, I will have to leave Thailand. :( Super duper frustrated that I couldn’t go to the labor office that day to pick it up because EVERYONE was expecting me to WATCH THE KIDS. Hey, why is it my matter is LESS IMPORTANT than yous? Damn it.

As much as I can leave Thailand and redo every paper all over again, it’s sipeh mah fan you know? Hate it.

I don’t care la, next time, no matter what happens, my priority come first. I don’t care about other peoples’ biz or jobs if they are more important than mine. Can’t always sacrifice my NEEDS now.

Someone suggested that I bribe. Do you think it’s that easy? It takes more than St. Paul flower delivery and $$$ to get things done you know?
