Last week has been a week of surprises. First, my 1st week of launching my new website SweetLoveStory.com has been pretty good, visitor numbers have been climbing slowly but steadily as I learn from others on how to promote the website. Do visit SweetLoveStory.com today as the contents continue to improve.

Than it was the news that I have been waiting for 6 months! Yes, I finally received my letter from HDB that my wife and I can go down on the 11 Feb 2008 to collect sign the lease agreement and collect the keys for our new home. After 6 months of waiting (12 Feb will be exactly 6 months), this is something that we feel really relieved. Well, at least one thing off our mind right now. Of course, this begin another headache, that of renovation and furnishing the place. We will take it slow this time so that we do not overstretch our already stretch finances. We’ll probably just go with the absolutely essentials first and add others along the way.

On Friday, when I went into office, sitting at my desk was a bag with 2 mandarin oranges. Upon closer look, it was actually from the 4 Malay colleagues from my office. They actually took the trouble to purchase the nice little bags, oranges and pack them and gave to all of us. Siti, Lisa, Wan and Nora, just want to say a BIG thank you to all of you. And may you all have a blessed year ahead. Here I capture a picture of Siti (left) and Lisa. I’ll try to add Wan and Nora’s picture later.

There is one more surprises. I bought some clothings for my 2 boys in eBay the week before, and was wondering if it is too late to order since the items ships from USA. It will take normally about 2 weeks to arrive and we were afraid that it will not come on time. A DVD we ordered earlier took exactly 2 weeks to arrive. But thank God that the clothings we bought from 4 different sellers in eBay, all arrived in about a week! So guess my boys will be wearing them on Chinese New Year (or Lunar New Year if you like). Yeah!
