My Pink Shoelace

MJ used to say and she still does say it out loud that I am strict in person. Well, I don’t talk to strangers (mom’s golden rule), I avoid eye contact which is an opening for conversation with strangers, my eyebrows always seem to meet at the middle and most often than not I hide behind my earphones to avoid people from talking to me directly. Yeah yeah yeah … that’s me. Pretty uptight huh?

Now the last time I was there with Doi, we didn’t meet anyone not that there weren’t any worth meeting but because Doi and I are pretty much tight lipped. But this year with MJ with me it was amazing, being friendly sure brings quite a lot of fun. Talk and talk about everything under the sun.

Thanks to MJ I befriended Wuteim (an Israeli), Sala (an Egyptian who now lives in Denmark) and the pretty Marietta (from England but she’s Polish). Guess coz we’re girls we were pretty much close to Marietta what with dinner and drinks as well as breakfast together either at her place or at ours. It was pretty cool.

Here are some of the photos taken.

Am not sure if I am all pleased but I guess I am thankful that I still have a job to come home to. Though how long I am holding the forth that I am not sure. Things have gotten kinda hard for me given my long absence and sometimes just letting go and walking away is very tempting. A good friend of mine is leaving the company to do what he loves the most and I envy him for having the courage to walk away while I on the other hand is too much of a coward to do the same. I don’t have the strength to leave my comfort zone and explore the unknown. It’s like history repeating itself. I go on LOA on summer and come back to work struggling and grumpy. What a waste!!!

My Pink Summer Contest is about to end. It was fun and am looking forward to setting up more contest.

The faucet in out kitchen sink is getting pretty cranky which leaks water all over the moment you turn it on. It needs replacement and I know soon but I guess I’ll have to sort out of priorities as far money is concerned. I saw some really fancy Kohler faucets for sale at various online shops and they’re very elegant. But am checking things out locally and see if there’s anything I can find that are relatively cheaper than what am seeing online, hopefully there’s something really nice and elegant.
