26th January 2006, Thursday

Yes we are like 2 days to the eve of Chinese New Year and sure would be looking forward to 4 full days of sabbatical from work, and come reunion with some relatives and friends who we have yet seen perhaps not seen since last New Year...then again I had to consult my mom whether I could disclose the fact that I am getting married this coming year since thus far, it seemed like it is still best keep under the sheets as almost 80% of my maternal relatives would not be invited...

Then the prospects of collecting "ang pow" is always welcome especially this would definitely be my last year to receive any. But then the sum of money collected would be non-existant by 15th February anyway.

So everything is sort of getting set for the year of the dog which looks quite prospective for me and my wife-to-be...let's hope so as she suddenly had a compulsive urge to go on s short get-away (namely Genting Highlands) and whined about it last evening as to end the year of Chicken in a rather sour note...

The thought first came about by her ex-JC friends which are mostly guys...Not that I would be dipping in childish jealousy or something but they have plan for the trip in February which I would begin my RT sessions which eat up my weekends all the way to March, so it's definitely a no-go for me.
She also knew that without my presence it is quite inappropiate to go with her guy-friends, so I thought the matter was laid to rest or so I had thought...
She called last evening to ask about going to Genting again but more of an escapade for us alone as she seems to be dire need for a rest.
However with her Japanese friends coming in March, it is better to not to waste any unnecessary money on a short get-away which we would really not enjoy that much (after the last Genting trip back in 2002..what coincidence that World Cup was held back then as well).
Plus our big day coming in October, which is another money-sapping event so every penny now is worth a million, so just got to be more stringent with our expenditure...
She wasn't too thrill with my response as we ended the conversation on the phone promptly. Let's hope it would not degenerate into a trivial tussle in the coming days when we meet.

Speaking of expenditures, wonder would the La Tendo gang be able to bring much a haul of goodies for me to buy....yikes

Japanese word of the day:吠え声~inu-e-koe~ (Bark) Think she barked up the wrong tree last evening with her proposed get-away plan
