You know you've not been blogging for a LOOoNG time when you have to stop and think for several seconds before entering your username and password to login to Blogger, which was exactly what just happened to me=/

The past 2 weeks have been almost frantic for me as I struggle to adapt to a new work environment. I've been cabbing to work everyday and I swear there's no way I can get up any earlier to take the bus, cuz that would mean waking up at 5am which is impossible for me. 6.30am is already quite a feat for me ok.

I'm seriously sleep deprived these days & I'm thankful for this long weekend, but alas how am I going to survive the months after that? I look in the mirror and I HATE my eyebags. I kinda miss my old life but I can't complain much cuz I chose this path myself. I only wish X could show me more empathy but sometimes its like we're on different wavelengths.

That aside, we did manage to spend some time together the past 2 weeks. We watched 'Shrek Forever After' last weekend as well as 'SATC 2' yesterday. It's a challenge trying not to get annoyed dealing with the weekend crowd as well as kids who make alot of noise in the cinema. This is again something I have to get used to since I no longer have the luxury of hanging out during the weekdays. I know I shouldn't allow myself to get irritated over these little things, but it's just really hard not to be grumpy cuz that's how I am. I've been trying very very hard to tackle my prickly attitude, but I don't know if it's enough or when it'll be enough. I'm no longer Miss Hothead, but I can never be Miss Docile. And that's not who or what I wanna be either.

Back to the movies - SATC 2 was slightly disappointing for me. I felt that the first Sex and The City movie was so much better in terms of the drama and laughs whereas SATC 2 was somewhat more serious in terms of the issues explored in the movie. Some of the things in the show were more than enough to reinforce my no-kids policy so in future it's just going to be me and X, just like Carrie and Big. I hope that will be enough for him too. I guess this is why SATC is so successful, cuz it explores real issues in life and relationships, making it all too relatable esp. to the female audience. Me? I'm part Carrie, part Samantha!

"Me & You, Just us two."
Back from my Taipei vacation with X but unfortunately my camera has been sent for repairs so I can't upload my pictures for now since I can't find my card reader as well. Funny how things always seem to go missing when you actually do need them.

This being my first vacation with X, I've finally got to experience how ANAL he really is. He was forever nagging at me to pack/arrange my stuff neatly, not to mess up the dresser with all my toiletries, not to leave my cardigan on the bed, to cap the shower gel after using etc etc...

Let's just say he's worse than my dad & mom combined. And to set the record straight, it was a friggin hotel room! I'm usually not a slob in my own house, but I do believe it's normal to let loose on vacation ok. Especially if there's a chambermaid who'd clean up after you.

As for the used shower cap on the sink plus leaving clean tissue on his toothbrush, my apologies. I duly obliged to clear those up after X complained.

Overall we had fun though I think we blew alot of $$, especially for my own shopping. I brought NT12000 with me (abt S$600) but I was left with NT1000 on my second night there-_-" In the end I had to get by paying by card wherever possible and X also withdrew some cash from their ATMs for me.

Last but not least, I thank X for being so patient with me throughout the entire trip, enduring shopping after shopping expedition with me with nary a word of complaint, and for being so generous as to sponsor the trip. I know we've had some hiccups, but I appreciate his kindness and generosity.

Definitely looking forward to a next trip with X, & photos will be posted once I get my camera back=)
