End of July

Did time pass that fast? 1st half of the year has gone, without knowing it July is ending too. Life for me this year seems to be bored, stressful with work and I feel like a zombie. 

For personal life I wish Aug can come faster and end soon, as I want to see the final look of my new house. But for work life I wish Aug don't come so fast and end too soon as it means my peak period for work is coming too. Recently I felt like a zombie there's no direction of how I should live on, maybe is the stress in work makes me feel that way. I am kind of sick in working in this company, I didn't dare to change my job as it's still considering paying me well with my bonus. So I tend to turn my focus to my personal life that's when I start thinking should I have a kid? Well everyone is chasing me to get a baby soon as age is catching but I just too scare I can't bare the responsibility. Life will be so different with a kid, am I really ready for it? 

Recently my working partner had a long talk with me, there were some mis-communication between the 2 of us. And I am glad that she came over to talk to me, as she always got angry over small issue and I don't get why she behave like this. My other colleagues say she is still young but I don't think it's an excuse for unable to control your emotion over work. After the talk then I realize it has been a long time I am used to solo work style so she felt that she is not helping me in work. She thought that I felt she is useless to me that's why many things I didn't pass it to her to handle. Bit of it is true as I didn't want to pass some stuff to her is because I think she can't handle her emotion and will make thing worse. Well maybe I should let go some stuff and hope she will get to learn more. When I was her age I was also hoping my manager will give me more chance to prove myself. Hope we can work well together again. Cross my fingers. 

Anyway July is ending let's hope for a better month in Aug!

The making of the new 陈府

This 2 week the progress seems to be slow down, we didn't rush the contractor as we are not really in a rush to move house. ID went up yesterday and send us some photo of our unit. Painting is done but some stuff was overlooked so ID say he will ask painter to come back to do the job again.

Since there's not much things done yet so this weekend I decided not to go up to see.

Here's the photo of the place after painting is done.

I love the Tiffany Blue color study room, hee can't wait to see it fully done up & decor with my stuff. Guess the handover back to us date will delay again. Progress is kind of slower than what they have told us but we are ok with that since we don't have the plan to move so soon yet. Will update again next week!

Do nothing weekend

Today I got too bored and got cranky over as it's a Sunday afternoon. I wanted to go out and eat something fresh to brighten up my Sunday. Hubby came out a list of place for me to chose, so we decided to go PS to try Hoshino Coffee!

Hoshino Blended Coffee

Fuwa-Fuwa (This is something new but will not fill up your stomach if you are hungry)
From blog
Lobster Bisque Spaghetti
From blog
Matcha Souffle (Something I thought should be interesting but I felt Vanilla Souffle will taste better, as there isn't much Matcha taste.)
From blog
FOC Matcha Softee (Standard Charter Card promotion, FOC when you order a main dish & a drink)
From blog
It's a fresh feeling but a little too expensive, waiting time for souffle is 20 mins and 15 mins for Fuwa-Fuwa. So be prepared to wait if there's a queue as waiting time for food is long. But it did brighten up my Sunday afternoon. 

Books I read~

Doing some cleaning at home and found that there's a range of books & magazine I read. As I step into a different life style I start to read some magazines that I don't use to read.

When I want some peace in mind I'll read some storybook to relax myself especially with coffee will be the best.

Cookbook is something I don't read last time, now I'll try to find some simple dish from them and try cooking them in weekend for hubby.

As we collected our new house key I will buy house decoration magazines to get ideas. Enjoy seeing the nice decorated house.
