Funny how I think that seems to sum up my state of mind now…

Okay – I guess life goes on for most. You though, appear to keep busy enough for that statement to sound so understated. You should just get a partner in life who shares your passion for your canine friend – so that you can have more peace while at work (assuming your partner is less stressed up with work).

We have just moved into our own place about 1 1/2 weeks ago (after renting for over a year) so maybe (hopefully) not too long from now, we can start looking at getting a dog to share our house. I miss having a canine friend.

Life has been great in terms of quality time with the family, especially with Elysia. I have put job on the back burner as a priority so don’t really get hung up with the little things that used to bug me heaps. Also, God has taken on a more significant role in my life since around 1-2 years before leaving Malaysia, and I want to build on that more now.

So to answer your question, I guess yes I’m happier here in most ways but if I examine my job a lot more closely, that is where I am least happy.

Cheers

U laughed tho’, right? J

Re me, I know it’s a familiar refrain by now, but it’s been BAD. Have had to work the past 3 or 4 (I lose track now) weekends, n on average until 10pm if not later every night. L T is fine. None too happy every morn when I have to go to work n put her in the kitchen, but she’s used to it by now, I have brought her in a couple of times when I had to work late / over the weekend, but I’ve now figured (ding, ding.. lightbulb a bit fused) that it’s better to just take the laptop home n work from there. Ack.

How are things at your end? How’s wifey n kiddy n Roy Teh n the job? U happier there?

Subject: RE: TIMBUKTU

A red-neck through and through. How have you been, my friend? How is Tasha doing?

The National Poetry Contest had come down to two semi-finalists — a Yale graduate and a redneck from Wyoming. They were given a word, then allowed two minutes to study the word and come up with a poem that contained the word. The word they were given was “Timbuktu”.

First to recite his poem was the Yale graduate. He confidently stepped to the microphone and said:

“Slowly across the desert sand
Trekked a lonely caravan
Men on camels, two by two
Destination: Timbuktu.”

The crowd went crazy. No way could the redneck top that, they thought.

The redneck, with sweat rolled down his face, made his way to the microphone, he said:

“A friend and I a hunting went,
We spied three maidens in a tent,
They being three, we being two,
I bucked one and Tim bucked two.”

The redneck won!!
