Helios Dance

I had my hair dyed and highlighted yesterday.

I've always wanted to do this but because of the restrictions of my job in Singapore, I wasn't able to.
But now in Bangkok, I'm free to do what I want. Well, you can say this is my sign of rebellion after being restrained for so long.
I like this hair colour, it's like the Sun dance in my hair, vibrant and funky.

I present the Helios Dance in my hair.

Vibrancy of Life

I promise I will post the photos of the dinner at Maverick, just, not now.
I'm pretty tired of typing now, I've been typing these few weeks.
Well because I'm currently writing an online novel called The Deal. Yes, it's romance and love novel. Typical girl, yeah I know. But this is the kind of story we girls love!
Ok, just go take a look and read. I'm in the process of writing the story. Basically, each post feature one chapter of the story. So, just keep a lookout for it yeah.

It's 5 years since...

Yups, it's been 5 years since I had my first job interview.
I've stayed in my workplace for 5 years that I've never had another interview. This time I'm still in the education industry, but at another place.
I pray that all goes well and I'll be able to get the job. Yes, I pinned high hopes on this job.
But everything goes according to God's will because He knows what's best for me.
Look at my outfit for the job interview!

'First Lady'. Duty calls...

Yes, you read right.
First Lady's duty.

Yesterday one of Beee's supplier invited us for dinner at Baan Nam Kieng Din. It was surprising for us because, one: suppliers normally invite executive chef to dinner. My Beee ain't executive chef, yet. Two: even if supplier wants to invite chefs to dinner, it'll be all chefs, not just my Beee.

Anyway, I was invited too.
I thought men talk business, women stay out of it?
But o well, I was invited and at first I was kinda bored by the idea of having to put on a smile even on a Sunday, my Beee's day off. I thought it was a time of rest and dating for us, just the two of us.
However, as I've mentioned in my previous posts, I'm a 贤内助 and since the very envious executive chef of Beee says that I'm a suitable candidate for First Lady, then I'll show them that I am in fact truly able to fulfill that position.
Therefore, I agreed to the dinner invitation(not as if I have any choice since Beee won't attend dinner without me).

Baan Nam Kieng Din is a very beautiful place. A very relaxing ambience, with mini pastures, mini windmills, outdoor dining and animals. The only down side is that there's plenty of mozzies there. I think I fed them well, my legs have evidence of them enjoying their meal.

Food at Baan Nam Kieng Din was really good, but as usual, the men ordered too much. So I entered food coma after a while.
I took some pictures, take a look!

So, from now on, I think it's gonna be First Lady, duty calls~

Fabulous Friday & Smashing Saturday

Today was truly well-spent.

First it was tarot reading with this honest-looking uncle. 
Well, the reading was the same as the tarot reading I had in Singapore. 
Basically the reading says my life is a good one. I crave for progress and I'll go from one place to another. Every time I move, it will be better than the previous one. And I do not need to worry about my finances. However, always remember to be humble and contented, do not be greedy. After this period of rest, when I work again, it will be tough for me as I'll have more responsibilities. Quoting his words "When the baby comes along, you'll be very tired. You need to work and take care of baby but the rewards are high." So, he meant, I'll have kids. He says baby will come next mid-year, so let's see if it comes true. I'm quite skeptical though. 

Then next, its about Beee's work. He says that Beee works hard and focus on his work that he forgets about things and people around him yet he will be highly appreciated by his boss. Others will admire/envy him, so I guess he meant that there will be some green-eye monsters in his workplace. He also mentioned that Beee will be highly sought after by other companies. Basically, Beee's career will be quite sucessful. Well, I hope that's true.
Well, that's all I asked today, about our careers and starting a family.

After the tarot reading, I met up with Elina, Evelyn and Stefania.
It was great meeting up with Le Wives. We always have so much to chat about.
O and we watched a movie together, a show about time travelling and how it affects one's life and the lives of the people around him. Movie title is 'About Time'. Great movie. Didn't expected it to be that good.

Yesterday's TGIF dinner at the Maverick was totally fabulous. Everyone had fun and they enjoyed the food and company. I got to meet quite a few newcomers and the editors of Expat Ladies Magazine. Also, I got to know a rich man who bought over a huge property company. He's a Singaporean. So, I'm definitely happy to meet someone from my hometown. 

Beee's colleagues commented that I'm suitable to be the First Lady, organizing activities and socializing. But I truly like organizing events, socializing and networking with people. You never know when you need their favours. Getting to know more people and bringing them together is a fun thing to do. And if everyone enjoys the event, I feel proud and satisfied. 

Maybe I should consider going into the field of public relations and events planning. I'm sure I'll love it.
But o well, just hold that thought first, nothing concrete.

I'm going for job interview next tuesday. All the best to me and may God bless me with this job. (with good pay and welfare, please!)

Time to go iron my clothes. Time to be the good housewife again. Bleah.

A Force Of The Universe

We made love today, in the afternoon.

It was special and unusual. 
It made my abdomen and womb churned, made my toes curled.
I felt waves and waves of excitement in my body and soul. It was like a burst of energy and force that exploded in me. 
I clung onto him, physically and mentally, it was a phenomenal experience for me.

I wonder why.
.

And did he feel the same way too?

2B

I found another great place to work on my writing.
A cafe with a library beside it, condusive for writing my book and blog.
It's called 2B Bake & Brew Cafe.
Food could be better but the wifi speed is good, so heck the food and cheers to the wifi.
It's a great place if you need to work online or just need some quietness to read and think.
Well, for me, it's both.
Why am I here at 2B Bake & Brew Cafe today is beacuse I'm meeting Pallavi to discuss about our Expats' Wives Club Facebook page. Hosting the club on Meetup costs a bit, so I'm hoping we can use facebook to help us.

Ok, time to return to my latest read: The Timekeeper by Mitch Albom.
Till next time.

Work and Socialize

I'm starting to get kinda bored and worried at the same time.

Bored, because although I have made quite a number of friends here, but still, I don't like to go out and socialize all day. 
Worried, because I wanna work and earn my own keep. I feel sort of 'crippled' without working.

So, I've arranged a job interview. It's for a teaching position in this girls boarding school.
Well, teaching Chinese and English. Hopefully, I don't have to work long hours, I just wanna work for a few hours and be a lady of leisure for the rest of the day. 
That's the ideal for me. But then again, being a teacher is a 24/7 job, isn't it? 
Well, at least in Singapore, that's the case. I'm not sure about Bangkok though. 
Hopefully, it's different from Singapore.

I am still actively socializing with the people here. I cannot help but stressed again that 'networking' is extremely important here.

I've arranged a dinner at Maverick for my Expats' Wives Club. Some editors and events director of the Expat Ladies Magazine are coming over to join us. So, I'm gonna maximize my skills as a social butterfly again. Up-ing my social value, it's the socialite way.

Starting a Facebook page for my Expats' Wives Club as well. Engaging the help of Pallavi, one of my club members. She's very kind to offer to help us. ;)

Tomorrow will be a day of laundry and ironing of clothes. Oh yes, and coffee with Pallavi.
Can't wait~
