mahjong

Last night, I finally won some money playing MahJong with the Aunties!!!

So pleased that I didn't pay any tuition fees - for the first time.

WD40

You know it is bad 
when you spend your idling time 
spraying WD40 onto hinges and what nots 
to pass your time.

a.day.of.a.tai.tai.

It's the end of another week of waiting. And sadly still no news.

The workaholic in me just can't register with all this idling time.

Luckily the unofficial ChakTai had a day out with the unofficial ShawTai.

We went to Ikea at Ikano for one of our favourite activities.

However, there is something about Ikea that is just not the same as the Ikea I used to know... it just lacklustre.

The food wasn't as great as we used to remember and the place... Let's just say it was a big disappointment.

To us, as sad as it sounds, Ikea was almost like home. (Yes, it does sound really sad). But now, it is just... *sigh*

On a happier note, we celebrated Ron's sixth birthday yesterday. That little chap was spoiled rotten with the numerous gifts we gave him. So bad... we shouldn't be spoiling him really.

In between shopping and birthday celebration, SA and I both still managed to squeeze in some Sims time. I will blog about Sims in another post.

In the meantime, I'll just have to find out more things to do to fill my time.

not.tai.tai.material.

It has come to my attention that I may never be able to be a TaiTai (click to see definition).

I've now been so called stranded in Malaysia for the past one week. I was supposed to fly out of KUL on 13th November to the exoticly super fast developing Dubai city.

But alas! No. I'm still stuck here... pending the return of my passport from British High Com.

Without going into details and sounding like an ungrateful sod, I live my days here one day at a time - checking with the people who are working with the high com on the processing of visa.

The beloved TOH had been such a sweetheart and decided not to go to Dubai alone and stayed back to be with me. How lucky!

Now that he is back in the UK, I'm here all bored out. Everyone has their own things to do. And me? I'm 'floating about' I guess.

Daily routine would be - wake up, switch on computer, check status, and then *blank*.

People in Malaysia often think that if one worked in the UK they will be abundantly rich due to the exchange rate.

Currently the exchange rate is not as strong as it used to but nonetheless is still about five times higher.

But how much shopping and lazying around can one do?

I still need to pay bills and I'm not even sure whether I'm getting paid while being out here.

Plus, I'm a workaholic.

I've had my share of my holidays.

And now I don't know what to do.

I miss my work. I miss my flat. I miss my space.

Now, will someone please help get me out of here?

In the meantime, if you are a TaiTai or someone who has nothing to do during the day like me, we can possibly meet up and do some TaiTai activities - I suppose...
