Wow streching work is tough! haha! I've been doing that all morning :S I'm tempted to go to Ikea and buy myself a nice plant for my desk (since I'm by a window my plant has a higher chance of lasting more than a month! haha).
The first long weekend of the summer is coming up and I am really looking forward to it b/c I'm actually going somewhere! *yay*! Bashar is in the Boston area right now, and initially the usual gang was going to go down at meet him, but things came up and some of us have to work this weekend. That sucked royally! Anyway, I still wanted to go to Boston b/c a) Haven't seen Bashar in a while, and b) I need to get out of town (going to Detroit on business did not count... who would want to vacation in Detroit?). I managed to recruit Saloni and Jenn to go this weekend! Quite the last minute trip! haha! We've booked the hotel and rental car, but I'm stuck on one thing. It takes 9hrs to get there, and obviously we want to make the best of our weekend so we're leaving Friday evening. Now here's where it gets tricky. Should we leave at around 8pm, drive until midnight, crash at some town, then get up the next morning and drive to Boston OR start driving at around 12am and drive straight there OR get some sleep, leave at 4am and drive there? I'm not sure what I want to do. I think if I was younger, I would have chosen the second route (most craziest one, but then again back then I loved doing crazy stuff like that). Now that I'm older, and factor in the fact that I am going to be working all day Friday. hm.. What to do? The goal of this trip is to make it as cheap but fun as possible. Hm.. that's something to discuss with everyone tonite. Ooh I can't wait! The last time I went to Boston was... when I was in Grade 10? That was quite some time ago!
Yesterday Jimmy and I had our first house decor appointment with our builder. I didn't really know what to expect and I wasn't sure how our consultant was going to be like. It was so much fun! I guess partially it was because our consultant made it fun. Our first appointment focused more on the electrical, plumming and structural upgrades/changes we wanted to make. We've spent about $3900 out of the $10000 in upgrades that we get. We still have our second appointment where we get to choose our decor (like tiles and counter tops). I have a feeling we're going to go over.. but meh! haha! I can't wait for our second appointment though!
An update on the wedding plans: Jimmy and I finally chose and booked a DJ! hooray! It was pretty tough! We opted to go w/ the more expensive DJ, but we're very happy with our choice! Next step - find a dress... and a cake maker! ooh I can't wait to try all those yummy cakes!

Eeks! No post for June yet?
Time: 11:00am

I was flipping through my friends blogs today and I thought I would just see when my last post was...man I haven't posted for June yet? :S
Things have been pretty busy lately. My parents took off to Alaska/Yukon/BC for 3 weeks (they're not going on a cruise... they're doing the whole driving around, hiking, camping stuff.. yeah.. my parent's are your typical Chinese parents!) Jimmy has been staying w/ me to keep my company and to help me around the house. There is so much to do when it comes to upkeeping a house! It's exhausting! :S So this is what is to come eh? eeks!
We recently moved offices @ work.. so now I work closer to the mall.. and an IKEA! Woohoo!! I really got go there one morning for their $1 breakfast! Mmm cheap food! Can't beat a nice breakfast for $1! There are pros and cons to my new office. Pros: it's new, it's clean and my desk is right by a huge window (it's great.. and distracting!). Cons: takes me 5 mins longer to get to work, 15 mins longer to get home, I hit crazy traffic both directions AND I have to keep driving back to my old office location because that's where the lab is. I usually try to scam my way into finishing my day off at the old office location. Saves me a good 15 mins when I have to leave!
It's strange. With this new office, we are sitting in cubicals, yet I find my coworkers and I socialize more. I guess that makes work more enjoyable :) We even have a soccer office pool going (which I joined! I don't know much about soccer but I'm not doing too bad! I know I'm not going to win... but meh! It's fun trash-talking everyone! hahha). We talk about soccer CONSTANTLY. And convieniently, we work just down the road from this stadium bar. It's great because we can totally just sneak off to watch the game there, meanwhile people at the office just assume we are at one of our plants or at the lab.. haha :D
Wedding plans have been going alright. I'm trying to book a DJ now... it's tough! I'm torn between 2! :S I want to make a decision by this weekend. Planning stress has eased up a little now that Rita's back *yay*! She came over the other night and she helped me conjure up ideas. It was fun! So much to do while she is here though.. I even booked a week off in July to do wedding stuff w/ her.
Exciting.. next week Jimmy and I have our first out of 2 decor planning appointments with our home builder! This appointment we are choosing electrical and structural options. *woohoo!*
