Snow Again on Friday!

This question will give the impression of me being so dim-witted but I need to know… How in the world do you change the background on the blog? I mean, if I wanna choose a different pattern or even different background colour, how in the world do I do it? Could someone please show me the path? I’m sure to do it is nothing major but, well, I’m just a bit…. Uhhh what do you call it? Daft? Okay, help me out please?

Weekend macam mana? Okay semua? It’s been snowing here over the weekend and to go out is like a major chore for me and even James. It’s cold out there! I don’t want to freeze my butt off when I go outside but then again I don’t want to be coop up at home doing bugger all so, better out than in! Sounds dodgy!

James have to work on Saturday but thank God it’s only for few hours. Picked him up from work, dropped him off at home and I sped off to town. Got to be at the bank before 12pm since it’s Saturday and it’s half day for them.

Looked at my watch and I have only about half an hour to go before closing time. Traffic wasn’t that bad, that was good. Now, to park… Something that I have been dreading the most but then again if I don’t do it, I won’t be able to park would I? Drive around the lot and found myself a spot. Now, to reverse park or not? Oh! To hell with it, it’s either now or never! I did it! For the first time in my not so adventourous, not so exciting life, the one thing that I dread doing most, I did it with confidence and with professionalism…. Ha ha ha! Though I’ve got to ‘adjust’ here and there few times, but heck, I did it! I reverse into the parking spot and am damn proud of it and the great thing was, I did it all on my own without having James distracting me and confusing me and judging me and criticising about it and … oh, no more already… Got carried away a bit.

I’ve got all my documents that they required and requested with me, and soon as I got to the bank, the teller says,

“We need your OTHER bank account statements in order for us to process with you application.”

With confusion I say, “But when I was here last week, one of the teller told me that all I need to bring is my Counterpart Driving Form and now you’re telling me that I need to bring my other bank statements?”

Smiling she says, “I’m sorry, but since you have no utility bills under your name, it’s difficult for us to process. I tell you what, I’ll photocopy your Driving Licence, Counterpart and passport and I’ll pass it to the people at the Head Office and we’ll see from there, okay?”

My head says, “You better, b$%*@! So bloody difficult to open a bloody account! Hey I’m putting my money in your bank okay, not the other way round so, if you try to make it more difficult, then I'll show you hell!”

But what I actually say, “Right, okay then… So, anymore information that you need from me?”

“No, no, it’s all okay. You’ll hear from us in the next 5 working days. Thank you and see you later.”

“Yah, whatever lah! Susahkan kita ajer!”

After that, I decided to treat myself and bought some makeup kits and moisturiser and other wonderful stuff that brings me to a total of £43. Gulp! Didn’t I check how much they all costs? Well, apparently not! I was dismayed to see the grand total, but it’s all been scanned so got to pay for those blasted things!

Not to forget I bought myself 2 books, one from the author Tash Aw and the other – yet to remember the author. Will let you know. And not forgetting also, also, also for my darling James his ever so favourite sports magazine, the Autosport - F1 Race interviews and what nots... All about the Formula One... (I'm still waiting to be taken to any F1 Races and I'm getting sick of waiting!)

I got back home in time as Andy & Lucy will be picking us up at 1pm to meet up with the parents.

When we got to the barn, only Daddio was at home as mummio were at downtown. I must say, I could be such a cheeky monkey when I can be sometimes especially towards my father in law. I can be so sarcastic when I talked to him but of course it’s all in jest, nothing too serious! I like him; he’s a very nice man and both he and my mother in law have helped me and James out a lot even before we got married! He paid for my Spouse Visa that cost me upto S$500 and he always pay for my flight ticket whenever I visit James in the UK when we were only engaged… They’re so kind to my family as well and we all get along so well…

Anyway, the meeting? Well, it was very positive and beneficial for both brothers. My FIL were talking about bonuses and all and I asked him, “What about spouse bonus? Do you have one of those?” Of course I was just messing about. Heck, there’s no such thing – or is there? Anyway, after saying that, Lucy offered herself to work with them as a secretary if they do decide to have another office in Skipton or Keighley. I wanted to bring myself forward but then I just kept quiet about it. I would love to work with his dad and James and Andy as a secretary and I’m sure the money would be great and also I don’t have to do odd jobs anymore like what I'm doing now in this company… Well, we’ll see… It might be difficult if they have to choose between me and her… I mean, if they took me on board, I don’t think she will be pleased about it knowing her. But for me on the other hand, it doesn’t really matter if she get the position – Malay say dah rezeki dia kan? Maybe I should send him my resume for reference eh? Just in case kalau-kalau dia memerlukan seorang secretary/PA yang cekap dan berpengalaman! Sneaky isn't it? Hee hee!

Kalau ada rezeki tak ke mana… If I’m meant to work there, Alhamdulillah, kalau tak pun, tak kisah lah… Ini semua kan rezeki masing-masing! Tapi kalau dapat kerja kat situ pun best jugak – family affair lah katakan! Sama-samalah kita berdoa yer?

Or maybe I am meant to work in this company that I’m in right now for the rest of my life… Seraaaam!!!

Bukak business sendiri lagi bagus eh?
