being domesticated
I just washed my hair and used this sebastian shampoo and it smells so yummy...
well I'm home this morning, as I'm going to work later to set up for tomorrow. so as you do when you're at home on sat. morning, you put on your swimmers and do the house work to french music! ha so far I have swept up the leaves outside, watered the plants and of course my feet, done some washing, wiped down the floor with those cool wipey things, straightened the kitchen chairs...
the rubbish is piling up and that's one thing I really don't like doing - taking out the rubbish! no reason really, I just don't like it... I haven't done it for a week and I figured that dad would be back soon I'd leave it for him, but they're still away for another week... hmmm I think I'll just have to do it - DO IT
ha that's one reason I don't want to live on my own, so someone else can take out the trash hehe in my 3 years of flatting I probably only took it out not more than 10 times! everyone else seemed like they enjoyed it so I didn't want to take that away! ha
hmm I'm liking this french music... makes me feel like I'm on holiday there. hmm maybe one day when Jaime&Tim get their holiday home over there (or was it Italy?) I don't mind really :)
I think I'll make some slice now...

pinch or two of salt... or a bucket ha
yes well I have somewhat recovered from the events of last week... hmm i think i get rather emotional about things, when it really shouldn't take that much of our time & energy. there are more important things in life...
...like family - I just spoke to dad whose in Malaysia with mum. He was suppose to be back on Wed, but then didn't come back - I was the one calling home to see if he was back and waiting up at night! ha... now it looks like they're both away for the next week. I'll survive :)
...like coffee! omg we just got one of those espresso machines at work with those coffee packs and all you have to do is push the button :) hmm love it!
...like enjoying the sunshine, today is sooooo beautiful! blue skies and sun, just wish I was by the beach
...like work, ok I have to put this in cuz there are some exciting things happening September in SoHo and Nat & James are playing so that's going to be good! ha I'm sitting in a cafe having lunch and the home page for the internet here is our Venue Alliance website!! haha... I think my boss has been here :P the magazine on my left - HK Mag has an editorial piece on the Sept in SoHo event telling people to go to it and another little mag called Urban Soul has an advert of ours :)
... like holidays, which monday is and I'm looking forward to it as I have to work on Sunday (sept in soho event), I know... but I'll find some way to make up for it
...like having a pilot friend called Henry who has just been to NZ and did some shopping for me :) I can't wait to have a triple chocolate cookie time cookie, mainland camebert... and I can't remember what else was on the list! ohhhaa fun

mehh
ok i don't even want to write about this now cuz i've gone over it so many times and i still can't understand why it happened. basically a client called my boss today to complain about me, saying that i was rude and she was not impressed with our service. and when my boss asked her to come to our office to sort it out, she said she didn't want to see me! mehh.. that hurts. everyone keeps saying (myself included) not to take it personally but it's hard not to esp. if something like that is said about you!
good thing my boss doesn't believe her and has sorted it all out... but I still have that horrible feeling that i've done something wrong. i know i haven't, and my boss has already told me that i haven't so i shouldn't worry about it. but of course me being me I will and i do get all emotionally caught up in it all. mehhh i still have to deal with them as they are our clients and i'm somewhat dreading the next meeting with them ahh i have a horrible fear that she will come up and slap me! ha... of course that wouldn't happen, but the idea that someone actually thinks that of me really upsets me. i don't know what to do or how i can make it better. i guess we can't always be on the good side of everyone , there will always be someone who will be rubbed up the wrong way or the other way around. i think it would be different if she said it straight to me, i might be able to handle it better(?) or maybe not. but the fact she called my boss does make it worse.
i just had to escape the office and went to visit another client who just opened a spa&salon. it's so beautiful there, calm and relaxing... and they are so nice and they love what we've done for them. why can't all clients be like that? i'm so much more willing to do extra things for them... although it's easier to do this, it's not really the right attitude. yes i know, i need to be christ-like towards people, even when it's hard. obviously it's easy to be nice to someone who is nice to you, but so much more if you are nice to someone who isn't so nice. ha, nicely put don't you think?
sigh... anyways i've had a cry about it so i really shouldn't waste anymore energy or tears on this issue. it's done, deal with it, face the next day with a smile and extra makeup. just love it
going to stomp tomorrow which will be a nice treat, that and an extra bar of chocolate on the side thanks

Phase 3?
At the moment my parents are away and I'm all alone. I've realised that I don't think I can live on my own... I don't really like the idea of coming home to an empty place. I like the idea of having people around, but this quiet time has given me some time to think about stuff. Mainly personal management in terms of time, finances and life in general.
I've been in HK 7.5 months now (wow it's been THAT long already?!) I'm pretty much settled now at home, a good church & 180, friends, work and so on...
Work is work, and that's all it is ever going to be. I've been there for 4 months now and things are becoming more routine. Although now I've been converted to a mac user - I have seen the light haa... have a read of the 2nd article on our website
Church is alive and well. Cliff&Linnet's wedding over the weekend was so beautiful, I'll have to try and get some pics :) I think now is the time for me to focus on where I'm to be ministrying within the church and start sowing into it. more to come...
School friends, church friends, work friends, new friends - they are a plenty. And yes I still get the "Are you chinese?" question :) I'm also getting called "kris" which is kinda nice, as previously only my family & close friends called me that...
and yes I still do miss NZ & Dunedin life and grass :P Just looked at some pics - beautiful wish you were here!
All in all, God is good and I know that I'm here for such as time as this
