This year’s theme is bronze, but with all the anxiety of moving to Brussels, we kinda put the present part off this time. We got whole year to catch up on it!
Anyway, here’s the current song in my iPhone that reflects what I felt for being with the same guy for 8 years Bisous!!!
OK So I am still in NKOTB fever. During the concert, I was stunned by this song. I didn’t know what the title was of course, but as I looked up, it is called ‘2 in the morning’
The ‘kids’ sang it beautifully and I like their acts where when they said ‘it’s overrr’ they make throat slit act (finger over the neck thing). I think I had my mouth open the whole song hahahaha I had Jon Knight side, and how he sang it fullheartedly.. just amazing…
Here is the compilation vid made by a french fan with the song:
Here is the link to the NKOTB pics and vids!
I am still thinking of going to their concert in Paris. It will be on Wednesday! Dammit. I dunno if I have the courage to take the trains and sleep over in Paris. Seems like lotsa work. This is the time where you think that you need a car. Dammit!
Here is the link. I am thinking to make slideshows of it. But which song to use as the back ground? My fav so far is Single and Tonight. I heard one song that they sang, and kinda catchy. Gonna look up for it.

I just got an email today from a real estate agent that I met last Monday and he said that the owner of the apartment that I am interested in is asking more information about family situation and work. I have been renting in Sydney, KL and Nancy, and never had this problem to sign a deal. Come on man.. I have said that I have the money and good job!
I talked with a real estate agent last week and she said that even her is fed-up with landlord in Brussels because they always bitchy and take their own sweet time to choose a tenant. I dunno if they had so many bad people there who didn’t pay the lease or to pack up and leave. But they definitely need to loosen up a bit!
I really hope to sign on this apartment. It is the “best” that I’ve visited and I just want to do the moving. Looking for apartment is never fun!
This is like the most tiring week and no I was on days off! I arrived in Nancy by train at 19:33 today and just cannot wait to be at home. I think it’s because on 5 days, I did sleep in for only 1 day and the other 4 days I had to wake up early, even earlier than the normal working day! huhuhu
Monday I left for Brussels in a two-days mission to visit and find an apartment. As I checked into the hotel, armed with the map and list of appointments, I’m off by walk. The idea is to find an apartment that is within walking distance to my new workplace. First appointment was cancelled, because the apartment has been taken, and the landlord kind of forgot to inform the agent. Out of 4 appointments I had that afternoon, I only did 2. Anyway, I am so happy for my apartment checklist which I brought with me during the visits. It helped me to stay focus.
Then had dinner with Barby. At least I won’t feel too “depressed”. During the afternoon, I managed to looked up new apartment offers on the net. So I scored 2 new appointments on Tuesday. So that would offset those that were taken.
And walking and walking.. my god! I was so tired. And when I was so tired, I felt hungry, but just don’t think I want to eat. Tuesday, start early as well. I won’t talk about each appartment I’ve visited. Make me tired just the thought of it. I had to cancel Tuesday appointment at 19:00 because I was soooo tired and my feet are killing me.
On top of that I had to wake up early to catch 6:50 flight to Dublin huhuhuhu…
Cut story short, I slept only 3-4 hours, and guess what? The flight was delayed about 8 hrs. Mother f*cker! Thanks for internet, I managed to kill some times thought I really like to kill Ryan air! My body was too tired and I was just hangin there. I just want to get on the plane and arrive in Dublin in time for……..
NKOTB concert!! hahahahaha
Now this is the highlight of the week!!!
Rini and Adrian picked me up at the airport and after trashing all my stuff at the rented apartment, we’re off to dinner on the way to O2.
It was a seated place we got, so no hurry. I thought that it’s going to be sux because we gonna be far from the stage. But so surprise to see how close we are! huhuhu
I’m gonna load the photos and vids. No words can describe what I felt that time. Well, I felt like I was 15 years old. I remembered that NKOTB had concert in Singapore and how I wish I could go. And at that time, I knew that if I was at that concert, it would be just like that!
Yeah yeah, people said they are old, they are not popular anymore. But what matters, I get to re-live my youth.
Ok so next morning, slept in and lost my voice. Worth it!
Today (friday) back to Brussels and to Nancy! yay!!!!
Next highlight - Facials! hahaha
Cheers
16th January 2009 - is suppose to be my last day at work.
But yet, it is not. My request was denied by the company coz they could not find my replacement ASAP. I just want to write on it coz I know one day I would revisit this page and have a laugh at it! So I negotiated to have a week of, and it is this coming week. Going back to work on 26th for only 5 days. Like I’m going to do a lot of work. But then yeah, I will be doing lotsa work. I need to do the knowledge transfer. Which reminds me I have to send the knowledge transfer agenda!
Anyway… what’s in for me this coming week:
Monday and Tuesday I will be busy visiting apartments. I hope to find “the one” by end of Tuesday. So far I have 6 appointments, and 3 needs to be re-confirmed. Hope the apartments are still available!
Wednesday I will be flying off to Dublin to see NKOTB! w00t!
Friday I’ll be back in Brussels and hopefully sign the lease of new apartment.
I would be back in Nancy on Friday or Saturday.
Phew!!
On a different note, I am currently into Jason Mraz. This week I bought Jason’s concert tix, the one in Lille. He’s playing in Brussels but I was too slow and the tix are sold out! Dammit!!! Gggrrrr… The concert will end of March. huhuhu
So for now, I am all over Jason on youtube. Enjoy one of his earliest performance, before the world tour and records label. I so into Unfold at the mo.
Slowly pack things into the boxes. Personally I hate moving. Not so much on leaving the old place and move to new one. But more on packing stuff, lift up heavy boxes, load, unload, unpack.. grrrr..
Good thing we started slowly, but earlier. One day One box. Hurrah!
I’m going to finish off the books and CDs, and then food stuff in the kitchen.
On the other hand, I’m not that happy with kiki. But then I managed to take days off so that I am able to look for appartment and go to Dublin. Then back to work for 5 days. Yeah rite, like I’m going to do work on those days. Seriously demented. Don’t make me start on having me plan to do work that I will not be doing.. Seriously demented!
On top of that I have 2 weeks left to finish my corporate strategy module.
I’m sure that January is going to end so fast and all I know friday I will be at my current position and monday I will be in a new position. Psyched!!
Anyway, I have to keep the stress level down. Coz I think the stress level has been up and down for the last couple of months and I just need to be zen.
I hope to post some photos soon.. Cheers.
I have been wishing everyone Happy New Year and forgot to put one entry here.
Anyway… better late than never eh?
So, what’s for the new year?
Easy peachy.. for 2009:
New job, new appartment, new city, new colleagues, new acquaintances, new arrangement..
Basically, for my husband and I, everthing will be new experience this year.
Am I scared? yeah
Am I excited? yeah
Am I psyched? yeah
Am I hopeful? yeah
Am I happy? yeah
Ok this can go on and on…
My husband and I are looking forward for these changes with mixed emotions.
I guess with my new year’s resolution would be making all the transitions as smooth as possible.
I will be a learner, a teacher - so am entering the year with open mind and open spirit.
In addition, I’m going to complete as many MBA module that I can in order to graduate in 2010.
On top of that, I smell lotsa concerts in the air.. hehehe
No big vacation planned for this year. But I’m still not vaccinated from the travel bug, so I will be going about here and there hehehe
