Shock! Horror!

OMG...is this our room? I don't remember seeing so much floor space since we moved into this room several years ago. And the couch can now be used as a couch should be used - to sit on. Grazia! Unbelievable. So much so that I felt I should blog about it even though I am reluctant to switch on my computer coz I am still upset that my laptop hard drive died on me...and angry at myself for not creating backup files. (T_T)

So much has happened since the last time I posted an entry...it's been hectic like crazy, both at work and at home. Let me summarise:

* Chinese New Year and everything that comes with it - "Gong xi fa cai" or "Gong Hei Fat Choi" to those who celebrate the Lunar New Year. May the year of the rat bring you peace and happiness, good health and good fortunes.(^0^)/

* I went on my first overseas business trip at the end of January - it was most productive...and exhausting! I made some new friends in our Tokyo office, met up with some old pals, and went up to Sapporo to see the preparations for the Sapporo Snow Festival. It was a great time.

* I have been busy investigating rental property and recently applied to rent a townhouse near our new office location with a friend which got approved. I will be moving in April - yippee!

* I've been enjoying the outdoor summer events (despite the endless rainy days we've been getting) including free concerts during the Sydney Festival and the Olympic Park Music by Moonlight series. Tonight was the African, Latin & Caribbean themed concert which was a lot of fun. The singer was entertaining, as was the music and dancing. I love the way the Africans speak - so cute! It was a good crowd and lots of audience members danced throughout the performance right up near the stage. I'm no dancer but it was fun just watching everyone dance and have a good time.(^_^)
