If you had money to spend, what would you spend on? After spending so much...wait...TOO much on Kakak Mas for her Singapore trip, when it comes to my turn, I do not know what to spend on.

At first I was thinking of a pair of Oakley sunglasses that cost $185. But I just could not get myself to spend that much money on a pair of sunglasses, though I know that I deserved it. How about a Coach wallet, like the one my cousin asked for me to buy for her (with her money of course) when mak's here? But again, can't part $198 on a wallet.

Its like, boy...I do want to splurge on something tiny and nice for myself but what eh?

BTW, I hit the Silver Club end of this month which means I will be getting a hefty bonus in July and August and September...now for that, I am thinking of upgrading my blings that I have had on me for 8 years. But wait till the money's in my hands, would I really do it? I don't know.

Its frustrating sometimes cos we live for our kids. They get priority when it comes to spending, and when its ibu's turn, she doesnt know what to do!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Oh yea, last Thursday, the husband and I had a date night. Yes...a date night. It was weird. I told a co worker that the husband and I have not gone on a date since Suraya was born. Felt so eeewy cos ...date, almost non existant.

But, we did it. Ahemm, the husband picked me up from work, and we went to Hot Tubs!!! People here will think that Hot Tubs can be sleazy, generally where the men take hookers for a 'soak'. But it can be as sleazy as one wants it to be right? Just like motels and hotels and what have you.

Sushi for dinner after Hot Tubs was great. We had a great time together and we got home nad bakc to our 'normal lives' by 8:30pm. Not bad eh? 3 hour date, very very nice...we needed it!

Don't know when our next date will be. Next month? Next year? Sigh...

Here are more pics taken from Kakak Mas' brand new camera.

Its been a weird summer here in Daly City. This city is known to be cold like winter when its summer. Past fiew days, it was hot hot hot. We had to get out of the house during the day just to avoid the heat in the house. Who needs AC here when you can just open the windows? But this time, we all wished that we had AC!!!

In the meantime, office politics has been brutal. Being a high numbered rep has a price to pay. The existing reps took the chance to look through my sold policies to see where I get my clients. Someone called me to give me a heads up on what was happening. I was mad...mad that they actually had the time to look through my stuff. But thats what it is, as you get higher, you get lonelier. I sounded like I was not bothered by it? I had been getting nightmares about it since Friday night. But Allah knows best, I had dreams last weekend which said 'not to trust anyone' and that something which is not to my liking will happen and that I will have to use my inner skills to deal with it.

Anyway, enough of that. Here are pics of Suraya and us at the Shoreline park in Mountain View.

Finally Kakak Mas graduated from middle school. She graduated with flying colors...GPA of 3.96.

Last week was her graduation ceremony, I cried. Cos I was so proud of her. Her friends, all grown up and some moving on to different high schools and leading their own individual lives.

With Mak

Summer break started 2 days ago. Kakak Mas will be flying to Singapore in 2 weeks when Mak leaves. We will all miss her so greatly, especially Suraya.

In the meantime, work has been great. With mak being around, forces me to leave the office on time and not work on Saturdays and still make my numbers. Maybe its mak's blessing of being here with us.

CONGRATULATIONS KAKAK MAS!!!

Of course, I have to be in it...hahaha

Got my Palm Centro and I am so in love with it! It makes text messaging a breeze with the keyboard. Yeah it does look small but trust me, it works like a wonder!

My favorite part of this phone is actualy the calendar organizer. As know myself so very well, I am a very forgetful person. With the calendar, I date and mark my calendar for busines, on when I have to call my customers for follow up, to send them cards, etc etc and I love it!

Doing shopping is easy too, pull up the memo and type whatever I need to buy. Don't feel like typing, then use the voice memo. Typing is not a chore anymore on the cell phone cos of the keyboard.

Some of you might be able to see me signed on to my Yahoo! IM almost 24/7. Thats cos my cell is connected to it. Since its the weekend, you guys will see me more :). But dont expect me to come on when I am at work cos you will be badly neglected hehehe.

I have never ever fallen in love with a phone before but I guess this is it! So twin...get it, you will not regret it!

I am learning how to download Suraya's videos and voice memo from my phone, I shall upload it here when I have the time.

In the meantime, work is great. I finally hit silver last month. The aftermath of it? The last push last week was a torture to my body an dmybody hurts!
