I have a promotion dinner at the office tonight. We can invite our family members along, but knowing me, I like to keep things separate. My family won’t be here, not that my mom isn’t proud of me, but I think she prefers to stay at home leisurely. I shall spare her from this awkward event. I would have skipped the dinner if I wasn’t one of those who were promoted and had to receive a certificate from some guest of honour. I took a peek at the set up just now, it looks like grand 8 course dinner, banquet round tables, I am hoping they don’t serve spicy food….That is one of the reasons I don’t like office events. They take for granted everyone eats spicy food.

Hmm..I got my bonus the other day. I am so happy, it made my savings seem double. I was hoping I could save at least $10,000 by the end of this year, we’ll see how. I know I will not be able to do that without the help of bonuses. I haven’t spent my bonuses yet, and I don’t really intend to. Perhaps I won’t be travelling anywhere this year if the SARS thing don’t get any better. I think it will also be a hassle for me to travel to another country, people might look at me differently even if I’m well.

I am thinking of buying some nice bed sheets over the weekend, if not Monday. I saw on the newspapers that there is a sales, and I saw one of the nicest sweetest pink bedsheets…that will be an indulgence. It will probably be the most expensive ones I have, but it comes in a complete set. Hm..but nice things are always sold out quickly. Still thinking..
