Begin the beguine

Haven't had a chance to blog for a while. Here goes...

Spending time with H was fun. It was the right decision not to go overseas this time. We were both less stressed because we didn't have to worry about planning a trip, and we could take the additional time to just hang out, and catch up with friends. I got to play some video games while H read, and we played a ton of card games and badminton. Although i still felt a little embarassed watching the schoolkids playing far better badminton than H and I....

We talked some about what our plans were for the future. For now, it seems like it would be feasible to set up an artisan bakery, but now we gotta do the costing and figure out the mechanics of getting H here. But we've set ourselves one year to figure it out, and another year to get H here. So at least an end is in sight. Although i might actually get to see H less, given how busy H will be setting up the bakery.

Started the new job on Monday. It's at a quick-service joint, but i won't say which one :) I had some qualms at first, cos people who know me will also know that i :

1) am sucky at cooking
2) hate eggs, and have never cracked one in my entire life
3) am not very dextrous

Well, it's been a good experience so far. The culture is good (which is reassuring), the people are good, and i'm beginning to see how the operations and management decisions fit together. I've managed to learn most of the stations, even if i am compressing 4 months worth of stuff into 2 weeks :P, and have even managed to crack an egg! My knees and lower back were really sore though, but i am hoping that that will pass as i adjust to the working environment.

In news on other fronts, i paid for my car yesterday! It will be ready for pickup around the 23rd of August. So if you drive, beware!

Ajantis is driver supreme... not!
