lovely dinner.

I was very busy at work today, nevertheless i managed to get out at 7pm, catching the lovely sunset(just adjusted the clock on Sunday, thus it is still light at 7), went to the supermarket, got a bottle of white vine, because i already know what i want to cook tonight.

I've cooked a creamy pasta before but unsuccessful, so this time, i decided to give it another go, and it turn out to be fantastic!! I think i got the right cream this time, I've checked with colleagues beforehand, just to make sure i don't get it wrong.

This is it. I've already eaten mine, i was too hungry. This is the portion for my lunch tomorrow(I'm starting a new scheme, in order to save money, I'm cooking my dinner and lunch for next day together). Spaghetti with salmon and mushroom. I know this is a strange combination, but it is very very tasty.... plus garlic bread(to save time, i bought a ready-made one)

And of course, a bottle of white wine.....

The combination was just so right, and i can't wait to do it again. So happy and satisfied.

Misses him here.

He took a week off and spent it here in Nurnberg with me. I was of course working, and he was at home, cooking, cleaning up the dishes afterwards, cleaning the flat, going grocery shopping...... i say this is a good decision, Monday was the second time he cooked for me after almost 7 years, i know it sounds a little bit unbelievable, but it is true!!! It was extremely kind of him to use up his holidays here, while i was working.
He took off today, and my heart went with him. The flat is quiet again, and there won't be hot meal ready when i come home after work.

Spring

A sunny day today, many people got off work early to enjoy it, so did i.

This is the coldest and longest winter since i'm here, and i can't wait to wear my flip flops again. Took some snap shot on my way home-clear blue sky, i even open the window to enjoy the breeze and bird's chirping.

While i was driving, couldn't make up my mind where to go. In the end, i've decided to walk a little in the park behind my flat, believe it or not, this is the first time, but i've already been living here for almost 3 months!

It was quiet, and nice, and spring indeed, is just around the corner.

Settling down

Finally, i have a weekend for my own, cleaning my flat and move all the unnecessary boxes to the cellar. With the kitchen installed on Tuesday, this finally feels more like home.
Work's been alright, i'm starting to be busy with few collections to do. It is actually quite interesting, i'm designing a sailing collection for the States, then another winter collection for Retail worldwide. I have never design a sailing collection before, and i'm happy to have a chance to learn how to do it. These are the thing i can never experience if i stay in Esprit, and i have to say i kind of like it, but i'm still struggling with the different way of working in Puma. Well, nothing is perfect, you gain something and you lose something at the same time.
Everything seems going to the right direction, except the worrying economy crisis. Retail sector is been hitting hard, and i really don't know how long i can stay in this job, moreover the probation period is 6 MONTHS!! Well, we'll see.

Ikea. my kitchen

I was very excited yesterday, knowing i will be getting my kitchen tomorrow, after 5 weeks of waiting, but i received a call early this morning, and ikea informed me that they can't deliver the kitchen tomorrow because one of the employee has a funeral to go to. !@#$%^&**
I have never heard of such an excuse. Don't get me wrong, i do feel for the employee but i just don't understand it was only 1 employee, why can't they look for someone else to replace him? So what's going to happen next week, the wife has a baby? the car broke down? Am i that unlucky??

Short trip home.

If it is not Thong's wedding(my eldest bro), i would not go back. A week is too short, and to spend a thousand euros on airticket, i would expect to stay at least 2 weeks. Anyway, i've spent a lovely week in Kl, and suprisingly i managed to see 'almost' everyone, so i'm happy.

It was sad to leave in such a hurry, but at the same time, im also glad that i'm back on my own. i know that sounds crazy, but imagine you have 9 people living under the same roof, it gets a bit 'crowded'. you know what i mean?

Glad to be back, and i finally have the feeling-im living here, im not on a long business trip.
