Day 38 of OBO... A tedious day...

My spirits are very high... It's filled with lots of anticipation and excitement... You've given me something else to look forward to... It's not just you coming home now... There's more to it now then that... I've been praying and my prayers have been answered...

I slept at 0150hrs last night... That was after we hung up the phone... Prior to that, I was browsing through one of the wedding planning guides of one of the bridal magazines that are sitting on my shelf... Well primarily is because my parents' wedding anniversary's coming up and it's going to be about time when I start scouting around for venues to hold the celebrations at... Having a Thanksgiving Mass is definitely a must... But I'm also thinking of probably having a dinner at one of the hotels for them and our family and close friends... Probably about 150-200 people... But knowing me, when I start thinking about such things, I think about how my own will be like... I wish for it to be a fairytale wedding... But obviously, given financial constraints, I may not have everything I wish for... Sigh... Will have to see when the time comes...

Anyway, I woke up around 0900hrs this morning... Went to wash up and went down to wait for Colin... Everyone except, Nat and Peter, was at home... Well, I told daddy that you bought him a cigar... Or was it a box of cigars? Can't remember... Anyway, he was really happy... His face lit up instantaneously... And then he said, "You are... Better not lead him on ah! He spend so much on you already!" Daddy's on your side!! That's a first... He's never been on the side of any of my boyfriends... You're the first... So I think you more or less know what he, at least, is expecting... *Hint Hint*... Hehez... Anyway, I waited for almost an hour and a half... Colin came only at around 1100hrs...

Well, on the way to work, we saw a bike crash on the CTE... The guy was like you... Knocked out on the floor... From the looks of it, I think he sustained head injuries... 'Cause they were putting a collar on him... Didn't see any irregularities in his limbs... But then again, who knows... Anyway, that caused slow moving traffic... What's new... Singaporeans are like that... One of the 'K's we're famous for... Kaypo... Hahaz... Anyway, we reached work at around 1115hrs... Got down to the accounts again... What I had to do today was to match all payments made to the suppliers' invoices... Super tedious figuring out which check is meant for what invoice... And some of it have no records whatsoever... So I had to trace it back to my MS Excel spreadsheet and then to the physical invoice itself... Sigh... That would finally be done by tomorrow... Next thing I need to do is also to match payments received with our invoices... Once that's done, all that's left would be Colin's catalogue... Then I'll be pretty much done with everything... And my workload there would be much much lighter...

Anyway, I stayed in the office during lunch 'cause I brought a sandwich and prunes... As usual... And while eating, I was surfing the Internet for hotel venues for mum's and dad's wedding anniversary dinner... Well, they said that prices for 2009 are not out yet... But they gave me quotes based on next year's prices... So I'm thinking if I mark that up by 10-20%, I should have a safer budget to work with... I also went to take a look at two other bridal websites... Haven't seen much of the content yet 'cause I needed to get back to work...

I stayed in office till about 1915hrs... Then we all left... Colin sent me to my music teacher's place... Did my theory... Exams are in less than 3weeks time... And I don't know if I'm prepared at all... I don't feel ready... Sigh... But what the hell... I hope I can do well for it... Haiz... Oh well... I stayed there till about 2215hrs... Then my music teacher sent me home... I went to 'scavenge' for food, ate a bit and then went to wash up... And you called just after I finished washing up... How precise... It's like somehow we're able to communicate with each other via telepathy... It's like even though we're so far apart, we're still on the same wavelength... Really crazy... Oh well... Anyway, after speaking to you, I came here to blog... So yup...

That's about all I did today... The same usual thing for a Monday... Nothing much... Well you're on your way back to the oil terminals again... Not really a secret anymore since I managed to find out about the whole operations on the US Coast Guard, US Marines and Australian Navy websites... So I figured that since it's such an open secret, it's not much of a secret anymore, and therefore, it is alright to talk about the general details of operation 'Iraqi Freedom' (This is my own name for the mission... Don't know if it is the real thing... If it is, then it's just pure coincidence)... The wonders of the Internet... Who knows what will be done next... Anyway, I'm going to bed now... Another long day tomorrow... I'll blog again when I get home tomorrow night... So good night... Sleep tight... I love you!!!!! And I miss you heaps!!! See you in Dream Land...
