My bullet pointed life

Where would I be without the handy bullet point?

• We've set the wedding date at March 1, 2008 after consulting Master Neo, the geomancer. Apparently it's a good day to be buried too.
• We set up a joint account which was strictly supposed to be our wedding war chest. We put it to work at Ikea. On necessities. S$450 worth of necessitites. Like matching towel sets, coloured cardboard boxes and ramekins.
• Claire has decided to take another job after having just changed companies a month ago. It had seemed like the perfect company, with great benefits and a great client, but the work just wasn't there. In the end, if you can't do any good work because the client hasn't got the money, foresight or inclination to be innovative, then it's probably not a good idea to stick around.
• I've been interviewing the past few weeks. It sounds like there are actually looking for people who have done a bit of this and a bit of that in all sorts of different countries!
• We're going to Malaysia next week on a visa run since my employment pass runs out next week. Apparently the F1 is on too...

Some things that are making us laugh:

• Assbax (the name I've given Claire's imaginary nag) but it's a bastardization of Asbak, which is "ashtray" in Indonesian and Dutch)
• Claire's 5 mega ton showers
• Making up conversations to our cleaner Margie in a Brooklyn accent: "Yo Muh-ah-ji, you gonna clean the luh-ij room or what?"
• "That wedding thing", as in "Claire, we gotta get our invitation list together." "Huh, what for? Oh, you mean for that wedding thing?"
• Ian's tendency to hoard: empty containers, paper, bags
• "Sheddep"
