Coffee & Chit Chat

Running out of idea for a title, eh?

By the way, this is what happened when you took a shower at the gym and carelessly put make up in a moving car. I guess I forgot to apply powder. Or maybe I applied too much CC cream. I didn't realize the white cast all over my face until after we took picture at the end of the interview. I was totally horrified when I saw it! Oh well, lesson learned :P

Straight Out of The Box; Fuji X100s

Since the Canon 5D is now the office property, I had been on the hunt for a new replacement camera. I'm that kind of someone who needs to have a nice camera and need her family life documented in pretty pictures :D. They definitely deserve more than iphone and instagram pictures :D. My most precious possession is all the pictures I have taken since the first time I owned a digital camera.

Of course, there's no contest with the Canon 5D but that thing is huge that it wasn't very convenient to carry it in my purse everyday. But I did that most of the time and I don't think my shoulders were happy with it. So to replace it, I know I wanted something that produce image as sharp but in a more compact size. So insert here; the Fuji X100s.

I've read all the reviews that made me 100% sure to get this one. The camera has a fix lens but even with Canon I've always liked the fix lens better and this one is equivalent with the 35mm I always use. But the problem is..this camera is hard to get. Even in the US! I've called every single Camera store in town and no one has a stock until I did some more Google and found one in Camera Indo, and off I went to Mangga Dua Square to get my baby :D. The owner, his name is Aries was actually surprised that someone is looking for this particular camera. By the way, if you're looking for any items related to camera, he is a recommended seller.

So here's some straight out of the box pictures. I didn't play around with the setting nor read the manual. As you can tell I'm pleased with the pictures :).

A Thankful Tuesday

Last Tuesday was my birthday and guess what I got as a present? I got me a personal assistant..:D. Well she hasn't officially started but I interviewed two people that morning and decided to hire one of them. Now she needs to take care of resignation process first, I'm crossing finger that it's gonna be smooth.

I've been contemplating of getting a PA since a year ago but I've never been so sure about it. I mean do I really really need one? I started to think about it more seriously when Oki, out of the blue, suggested me to get a PA to help with some of the things I need to handle everyday. And I thought quietly that..yes maybe it's time. Afterall, my to-do list is growing that it's hard to keep up with each one of them. There's always a new challenge everyday and everyone is screaming for attention. Time with the kids is getting short and it seems that my life is always in auto pilot mode. It's time to get my priority in order.

So yes, hopefully I'll get some of the workload off my back soon. Maybe not office work but at least she can help reply and sort some of the emails, answer calls, help me with my schedule & administration, arranging reservation, takes care of the bills and other financial stuff and even manage household & kids related things. I've just launched spice with my sister so a PA would help a lot in that area too. Most women are multirole and I'm no exception. I'm often asked to do many things by my mom and extended family so yes my plate is full and I need to delegate some of the work pronto.
