The weekend was eventful.
Saturday flew by, largely thanks to Faith, whose full month celebration drew the guests but still couldn’t keep her awake for longer than a couple of minutes =P
Sunday came and it was then we finally signed on the dotted line after nearly 2 months of contractor-hopping and price-haggling for the reno work on our own home. The whole process has been more drawn-out than we had anticipated, but the good news is that we’re still on track to shift in by year-end.
Monday turned out to be rather ‘happening’ too. I signed my unemployment away (finally, as Ben would like to put it) and will be <gasp> starting work* come Friday. (And of cos i promptly followed it up with the purchase of a new blouse and haircut.)
Actually, i’m not 100% positive that i’m ready to go back to a 9-to-6 routine, but i guess having a steady substantial income beats having the luxury of sleeping in or the ability to do errands during off-peak periods. Also, with all the renovation coming up it’s not going to be exactly the best time to start a new job, but we will learn to manage somehow!
New work, new home and new goals to work towards… the year ahead is a busy and exciting one for the Ongs.
