4th Day of Chinese New Year

I was late for work today. I'm hardly late for work since my company made the big move to the far east. Use to be late for work when we were in Raffles Place... Hehe... strange, because, my home is actually nearer to town, as compared to SingPost. Oh well.. one of the unexplainable things that happen in life.

That aside, GONG XI FA CAI. Sheng ti jian kan, wan si ru yi....

This year's Chinese New Year has been particularly interesting. It started off on the eve of it. Good news came in one after another - and, its a good thing. First, we got a phone call from our housing agent that our offer has been accepted by the owner of the flat that we are looking at. I love the place so much, and it has got stuck in my mind's eye and thoughts for so many days before the owners make the decision. I remained full of hope for the full 4days of waiting. Even before I got the owners acceptance of our offer, I went totally bersek on home magazines. Man! It was ridiculous. I spend $15 all in all on those... honestly, I wouldn't say that its an amount that create waves really... but, everyone just went WHAT! when told that I spend 15 bucks on magazines.

Anyway, you can see that I'm blabbering.... because, 1/2 of my mind is on my traveling schedule for next week. In which, I'm not keen on, as I honestly do not want to travel. Sigh. :( Its going to be a hectic one - jumping from one end of Australia to the next. Fortunately, I gave the trip to NZ a miss this week because of Chinese New Year. Else, I'll be stuck in a freaking cold Auckland, suffering a minus 2 degrees.

But, I reckon that I'll be going there soon anyway, whether I like it or not. Honestly, I've lost that fervour that I use to have on traveling. I use to get all excited about trips out of Singapore, and I looked for jobs that involve LOTS of traveling. Now, I wish I wasn't traveling that much. Is it a case of "the grass is always greener over the other side" ?

I wonder....
