Chose Life!

I suddenly donned an apron today and did some vacuuming in the apartment.. Sigh.. I cant stand the clutter inside anymore…. Tat’s what u get for stayin with two guys. Some dusting needs to be done and some general cleaning.

Like the title suggests, I am either a housewife to the guys or I am a maid. Well, I prefer to be a housewife coz the status is higher.. =P But i tink i wana be paid for doing the cleaning.. Hehehehe..  Money money!!! So which should i choose?

Today was the fartniest day at work ever since I came to Harrisonburg. My director was bringing my colleagues and I through the rows and rows of cabinet briefing us on where to put some documents inside to be shipped to a new factory location when i heard a ripping sound… It was faint and subtle but I distinctively heard tat. I then whiffed an aroma which was not quite pleasing and quickly jumped aside..

I burst out laughing like a mad hyena and my director gave me that odd look. He said, "What’s got into you woman?" with mirth in his eyes. Obviously he didnt hear the sound nor chanced upon the aroma. So… he was puzzled why I couldnt stop laughing.. My other colleagues were none the wiser either. When i finally gained my composure; i breathe not a word and continued in our discussion.

Nothing much happened after that and we had lunch in a chinese restaurant a few miles down the road. It was a very filling lunch though we didnt order the buffet, it was ala carte. But between the four of us, we manage to make the dishes dissapear.

After the luncheon, labour work beckons. We had to clear the boxes of documents and pack them into cabinets. A big portable ladder was there which could fit two people width wise. Up and down we went fitting files and files into the cabinets. Then came a familliar sound… I scrambled down the stairs like a mad woman and ran out of target range.. Once i get a good breath i laughed like a hyena. The culprit couldnt hide anymore and he burst laughing.. Hahahah, so he was the culrpit. I couldnt stand up straight from laughing. And he, either from embarrasment of being found out or from the ridiculous sight of me crouching in passing motion position; was catching the railings and bursting his sides. The ridiculous scene ended when he finally confessed his "misdoings" and we were once again doing our stuff. However, i did consciously avoid him after that.. =P

I’ve reached Dulles Airport last Saturday morning at 5.30am local time.. We were
picked up at the airport by a BIG limo… Hahahah so great.. Siaw and Madeleine really took good care of me. =) If it were only Lau and Tay going.. Heheh, probably not so good treatment. =P So bad of me to say that..

The limo reached the apartment at 8.30am after waiting for my director to wake up and get us the keys. The apartment’s great!! I’ve got a whole room to myself, double bed, private tv, wardrobe, attached private bathroom with bathtub (I had nice soak just now.. I really needed to pamper myself just now after a tiring 37 hours journey). The apartment is equiped with a kitchen with oven, cooker,dishwasher, blender, coffee maker and microwave. The guys were in the other room as they have two beds there. We have a nice sofa set with TV,fax and office table where we can work on. Its great!! There’s a gym and jacuzzi nearby 5 mins walk which we could use for free. *big grin* I’ve already made a video of our apartment. Unfortunately too big a file to put here..

Here’s a pic of it instead.

The co. got a rented car 4 us to use. Its nice and new, 6000 miles only. Also, we’re near malls and shops so its easy to purchase stuff, but we need to drive 5 mins to get there. The traffic here need some getting use to; coz they drive on the other side of the road! If we dont c properly, we would end up on the opposite end of traffic. But its ok, I dont drive, the guys do.. *grins*

After all that travelling, we were jetlagged for about 4 days.. I’m not complaining… I like it here even wif jetlag… Work is.. well, lets not say abt that (put a sock in it!)… 

On the 5th day, we had a little snow storm the night before and woke up with a freezing cold spring morning.. The car’s covered in snow and so were the roof tops of the apartment.. Farnee thing to do; scraping the snow off the car so that we can see while driving.. We even videoed Tay scraping the front screen. =P

More updates to come soon… I miss a few ppl back home.. Lotsa luv to them.
