One Month Down, Eleven to Go!!!
Where in the world did January go? Somebody help me here. It just blew right by me. That means one thing. TAXES. The four letter word that is so bad it stole another letter. That is how greedy taxes can be.
I think this will be an interesting year. I plan on changing jobs some kind of way. The job market appears too good for me to ignore it. I have two interviews this Friday and waiting for another company to call with a third meeting. Losing the drive is as valuable as a pay raise. And I am pretty sure I can up my salary. Hope it can cover these High School tuitions. Why are kids so expensive?
But you guys are here for the Hug Hug Club. Who won now that May stated she is no longer chupping like she used to? Is L B ready to dominate the Hug Hug club scene this month? Will we see a new face (or imagine a new face for those anonymous bloggers) this month? No more suspense. No more drama. No more sentences. On with the tally!
December saw a fewer people win ribbons than December, down by one to 16. So who rules in January. Little Miss May once again is the numbah one chupster. She scored 24 points, 5 more points than last month. Imagine how many points she might have scored if she tried. May has anudda big Blue star!
Lormaikaibinge (aka L B) comes in second place this month. Again!!! And a very decisive second as he had 21 points over the next best score at 14. Good job my friend and president of the World Wide Hug Hug Club International.
So who had 14 points? Well actually two people had 14 points. What to do? I must consult the Texas Hug Hug Club rules. This situation is covered in the rules. The two chupsters have tied in every single measurable category. This means the winner is to be decided by a knife fight.
So who will be slicing and dicing for the White Star? Chen of Penang, Malaysia and Angel of Kuala Lumpur shall square off against one another. Who who can win this battle? Chen could be an odds on favorite with her surgical background, though a Bowie knife is a lot heavier than a scalpel or Ah Boy for that matter. Of course Angel comes in with a few assets herself. Like heavenly divine intervention. Who shall pervail? Or they could just be the sweet girls I know they are and share share.
So much chupping this month as I could post more it seemed. At least it felt like I posted more. The rest of you visitors were so close and I really thought some new faces were going to show up. Maybe I am boring some people with certain posts. Perhaps some analysis is in order?
The point totals for January are:
May 24 (4-1-1)
LB 21 (2-3-2)
Chen 14 (2-1-1)
Angel 14 (2-1-1)
Daphnewood 8 (0-2-2)
Bkworm 7 (1-0-2)
Hijackqueen 6 (1-0-1)
Angeleyes 6 (0-2-0)
Kat 5 (1-0-0)
Hijackqueen 5 (1-0-0)
Cocka Doodle 3 (0-1-0)
Fishtail 3 (0-1-0)
Kenny Ng 3 (0-1-0)
Domesticgoddess 1 (0-0-1)
Pink Cotton 1 (0-0-1)
Huei 1 (0-0-1)
Jo 1 (0-0-1)

Good luck on your job interview.
Hubby had an interview, too at a semiconductor company yesterday. I’m still skeptical about the semiconductor world though, but that position he interviewed for seems to be very positive. Support him all the way!! Of coz lah, better salary so I can save more to buy air tickets to S’pore/Ipoh every year.
SA: Thanks Dawn.
Hope he gets the job and you can save enough for a first class ticket.

I hate TAXES too. I don’t earn enough to pay.
SA: The worst part of that is gaoman don’t care. They just want more, more, more taxes!

What’s this Hug Hug Club? hoho …. SA, you lucky man! You receive so many hugs ….. envy!!!!
SA: LB started the Hug Hug Club. His link is in the Italy section. I also linked my rules in the body of the post. I am very lucky. But you should see all the hugs LB gets. There is a man to envy.
February 1st, 2007 at 5:03 am
yup, it just flew by! Seems like we just celebrated new year yesterday…
SA: Doesn’t it? And tomorrow we celebrate CNY! Woo Hoo!
February 1st, 2007 at 7:22 am
Wahh.. i make it here too!
SA: Course you are. I have been reading you the longest! Lurking as we visit many of the same places.

If really good offer, why not just change your job? The reality world now is work for money not for passion anymore. Aiks… I also got point? Hahaha.
SA: My problem is that my passion does not seem to pay that well. But I really have no heart or motivation for my current job. I want to dive back into closing the books and presenting financials. Auditing is just not my cup of tea. You got the point. You started your new position yet?
February 1st, 2007 at 10:01 am
Good luck with the job interviews…I don’t envy you your communte, and hope you get the ideal position VERY close to home!
SA: Thanks Kimananda. This commute is really wearing on me. I won’t accept anything far, unless it pays six figures. That ain’t gonna happen.
February 1st, 2007 at 10:10 am
wow, your title ‘One month down eleven to go’ sounds positive!
SA: Good. I don’t wanna be a downer.
February 1st, 2007 at 10:56 am
Here’s a hug from me….I shall hope that one day I earn a beginner’s ribbon from you.
SA: I think you have earned some ribbons in the past months. But wish you good luck and hope you can get a star too.
February 1st, 2007 at 1:33 pm
Ok, I know you ahd the hug club before I left, but I wasn’t sure what it was the either. So tell me oh great Yoda…what si the Hug Club?
SA: You can get the 4-1-1 here on the Hug Hug Clubs at http://albiewong.com/index.php/?page_id=290. But be forewarned. I will have to hug you after you read that Etchen.
And it is so good to have you drop by! It has been ages since you have commented. I’m happy happy.
I’m going to be in Colombus this July btw. Working a big convention there.
