Time Management

And so, Chinese New Year is over.

We did give out red packets but not many. We also received some red packets from the elders. They insisted that we must take coz this is our first year (??).

Nowadays I feel more settled. I’m settling into my new home and my work. I’ve just taken over some procurement duties from a Finance colleague who has resigned to become a stay-home mum. Quite a lot of work to do. I dont understand why there are so many things to buy, just for our dept alone. Stationary, pantry items, PCs, laptops, equipment etc etc… I also dont understand why does my dept has to take over this portfolio when we are not doing any finance work. They said it’s becoz of the segregation of duties. Well… *shrugs* 

I still find that I dont hv enough time. Time after work seems to be so little and precious. Haha. I cooked fried rice yesterday and J said it was delicious. *Grin* First time he commented that. Had a lousy attempt at cooking "mao gua" (direct translational from hokkien ‘mo gueh’; cant rem the proper name) with dongfen the other day though. 

Going to collect my studio album tomorrow! Hehe, kind of excited even though I’ve seen them before. But that is plain viewing on the PC only, not the actual album. I hope the album turns out good. 

J has been talking of going on honeymoon lately. We are looking at tours to Europe. We may be going to tour agencies this Sat to check out the prices and details. Our initial plan was to go during his study break this year end so that we can save up enough money for it. But recently he seems confident that we will hv enough money to go for it in end April. Our guest list for our wedding dinner has expanded a lot and he said the red packets should be enough and that even if there is a lose, the amt wont be a lot. My parents are taking 5 tables, my frens about 6 tables. His dad wants to hv 18 tables (!!!) for frens and relatives though I dont know how many will turn up eventually. As for J, yesterday he told me he has 190+ guests. Base on 75% attendance, it works out to 360 guests. Wow.

I’m kind of worried that I may not fit into my gowns anymore. Feel that I hv put on more weight after moving into the new house becoz of the new lifestyle. I am sleeping later now, esp on wkends and I wake up later too during the wkends. Now, that is a very bad lifestyle for me.

Sleep late = more hours awake = more chance of being hungry = more food and snacks at nite.

Wake up late during wkend = missing breakfast = more stomach problems.

See? So I will try to sleep earlier and wake up earlier during wkends.

One thing we both realised is that we dont hv much own time during the wkends and that is something which I really dont like. Esp when we wake up late, we hv fewer hours to do our things. And we need to go back to our parents’ and in-law’s house. Once we minus away all these, we are left with little time. No wonder I feel I dont hv enough rest during the wkends.

Time management. Sigh.
