Updates!

I noticed I haven't been updating my blog since August. Maybe because I lost track of it and as time passes by I do not know where I should start so I don't bother to update.

Well.. 4 months since and so many things have happened. I'll probably start with the more recent happenings.

Signed and paid for the 5% downpayment for our house in October and it will be ready 3.5 years later! Much earlier than the 5 years we had expected. We were really lucky we were allocated a queue number that allowed us to choose the high floor units, though really expensive and I shudder at the thought of the monthly installment in future. That means I have to continue working haha.
Gotta save up for renovations and wedding!

Site has already started construction and alot of commotions going on in the FB page regarding renovations etc. Interesting. Excited. Boy can then travel to work in town within 10 mins and I wonder how long it will take for me to go to work from Boon Keng to Tuas.


On a side note, I had initially bought air tickets for my trip to Bangkok next Jan together with boy and his family but I had to forgo it as we finally decided to travel to US instead. I do not have that many leaves to take so I had to forgo it but his family and him will still be going. Money forfeited.

This is my first time going for a long haul trip and I'm super duper excited. 22 hours of plane ride and I hope I can survive that. All the way from 16th March to 31st March! Even the itinerary has been planned by his family and relatives in the US and all I have to do is just pay. Sounds pretty good because it will take me ages if I am involved in the planning process lol.
The last itinerary for the US road trip I have heard of was to fly from Singapore to Seattle to meet his relatives, drive from Seattle to Sacremento and then to Yosemite, then to Los Angeles, Hollywood, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, San Diego, San Francisco, Portland and back to Seattle. The 2 places I have been wanting to go are Hollywood and Las Vegas! Been watching movies featuring these places and I am now finally going over. Not forgetting the premium outlets in US that I have heard many talking about and I am afraid I would spend too much.
 Now I pray that my boss would approve my 3 weeks leave.
