Reports

I feel I am doing such a horrible job that yesterday I dreamt that they asked me to fly back economy-class. I am not joking.

What is so tough?? Not so much with the report-ing (yeah, I know, I'm not bad) but the actual behind the scenes stuff. Long story but. Here you go, if you have the interest and time!

Three down, two to go.

God work is hard.

Work on my 31st

I'm 31! I'm 31! An odd number wooo!! (??)

I spent the first four hours of my 31st year Lovin It, ie working on these reports from Singapore. I really thought to myself: Gosh I'm lucky. How many people get to do what they want to do? I get to talk to people, make audio video pieces, work with half a dozen people each with specialists, work on TV and go on TV. This is a gift from somebody and I'm so lucky I have it in my hands right now. And I was happy that it happened on my birthday because I feel blessed to be able to do what I like professionally on a personal day.

Course my motto of late is "I wanna be a brainless housewife" mainly because going to Hong Kong with my beau was the most relaxing thing I have done in a loooong time. Cuz he took care of everything! I did nothing! Expect do my hair! And that was nice too :D Do you think one gets bored being a brainless housewife? Don't you think that contradicts that fact she's brainless??

May this be a happy day for you too.
