I thought he proposed too but congrats, you too make a really great power couple- i can imagine u guys living in a mulit-million dollar home in the future and of course inviting me over..lol… :’
Haha Chris probably will, but I don’t think I will since i shop a lot 😉 He just saves 90% of his income so his bank account is so huge that I don’t even want to think about it, lol!!

I was with everyone and thought you were annoucing an engagement. I’m looking forward to you blogging about the Observatory Hotel.
I’ll def take pics on holiday.. I won’t go anywhere without my camera, heheh
How wonderful, all my congrats to Chris 🙂
Don’t worry, Bev, I’m sure this will motivate you to outdo him 😉
I’m super proud of him! but ya.. now I have to buckle up… I have a goal to get to *wink*
congrats!!.. .well done!
I’ll pass on the congrats! It’s such a fun opportunity for him 🙂
Wow!!
Although I thought you were about to make a wedding announcement. 😉
Haha so many people thought that too.. I guess you’re right, when I re-read it can be interpreted that way! But no way 😛
I thought you were getting married!!!!
Noooo you can rest assured that won’t come for awhile 😛
CONGRATS!!
Dream couple… *_*
Well he’s my dream guy, so that’ works! 😀
YAY!!! Congrats to Chris! Have a great holiday, you both! 🙂
Thank ya!! I’m looking forward to the holiday.. but trying to convince Chris to stay at a cheaper place.. I’m stingy when it comes to stuff like that, yet I think it’s ok to spend $$ on a bag. I’m crazy aren’t i 😉
Not crazy coz I am like you. I would spend on bags & some other stuff but NOT holidays. 🙂
Hehe glad you agree! holidays are kinda fleeting IMHO and i feel I never enjoy them enough and keep wanting more. But with bags/clothes, i HAVE it and can keep using it as long as I want!
Wow, a big congrats to you. Just like most of your readers, I also thought it was an engagement announcement 😉 I agree with Amanda about this increase is pay is going to your common pool, which is great 🙂 Have a fabulous holiday!!
It’s a common pool, but I would stilll prefer to be the one earning more, call me selfish! :X I think we’re too competitive with each other as he thinks the exact opposite, haha..
wow! I didn’t know that the IT industry earns so much… *cringes*
well, congratulations!!
It’s IT within the marketing organisation.. and marketing teams always have $$, at least in big companies!
Congratulations!!!!! And gawd.. the money you earn… *shakes head at myself*
You mean Chris? Ya I’m quite jealous.. he can now buy a house and car and he saves so much money since he doesn’t shop like me, haha!
I meant the both of you. ;p
So that makes him a very eligible husband-material then! heh
Hahha! Nah we’re too young , he’s not very husband-y and I’m not very wife-y 😛
HAHAHA. Me too! I thought a marriage! Ahaha.
But congrats woo. sounds like exciting times ahead. 🙂 I’m super happy for you both!
Eww.. no marriage for us right now 😛
I’m happy for him, I hope he’ll love the job!
congrats!
hey!! I too thought it would be an engagement annoucement! keke..
MEGA congrats on the promotion for Chris. It’s lovely to hear about ppl who find their jobs fun and fulfilling!
I’m sure there are many more promotions to come in both your careers 🙂
Re: congrats!
Haha! Nono no no no.. not anytime soon 🙂 I’m really proud of him though, I thin he totally deserves it!
don’t ever do that again! i thought there was a ring involved! But congrats to you both! damn maybe i should move to aussieland!
half my friends here thought that too! I think I write misleading first sentences sometimes, and I didn’t even realise it until everyone pointed it out, haha 😛
Congrats! Although I thought you were going to say yall were getting married too LOL
Nooo way! Quite a few people thought that too, but if it really were, it’d be more like “OMGGGGGGGGGG you will NOT believe what happened today *mind boggles*”, lol!
That is SO wonderful for both of you! Anyone getting a raise will make it easier on both of you in the long run – there will probably be times when you make more, than him, than you 🙂 This is just one of those times…
I suppose a raise is always good.. I just wish it was me instead, hehe! Is that selfish? I guess I just us pulling in the same $$, but you know, this is a good thing so I shouldn’t complain right! 😛
More money in the family is always a good thing 🙂 Not having enough is soooo stressful that having enough no matter where it comes from is a gift to both of you. Your not ‘less’ because of it, your both more because of it…
And really, money isn’t what makes you equal – its attitude… Think about it this way… if you made $10,000 more than him would you want to think of him as ‘less’? (or want him to think of himself as less) Cause you might make more at some point…
Its something to think about… Theres enough competition in life …sometimes its best for home to be a safe haven from it
That’s true.. shouldnt’ take what we have for granted right? MOre is always better than less, regardless of who does it. Anyway, it gives me good goals to try and achieve 🙂
Hope you didint think I was dismissing your feelings… There is something comforting about being able to take care of yourself. And not needing the other person to do it…Its nice to want to be with the other person but not NEED them…
I was thinking the last few days that I was trying to give you the positive side – and probably should have just said something else…
Anything that changes the dynamics in relationships take time to get used to. be it money, or jobs or babies or whatever… I’m sure you guys will work it out
No not at all.. everyone has differing views anyone! I do agree with you too, it’s a good situation for Chris and that’s what matters 🙂
AMAZING! 😀 congratulations, that’s so great! That’s a really good thing for you as a couple, you’re both successful, both working for huge companies, i don’t think you’ll have any of the problems couples face, and let’s face it, you’re both beautiful and LOVE to eat 😉 I really do think you to are meant to be, just perfect with each other! Really happy for you! 🙂
Hehe thanks.. he’s really happy about it! I dunno about all the nice things you said though, but thank you, it’s really nice of you! 🙂
This is so cool.
I’m so excited for you. 🙂
I’m so happy for Chris! he works so much so I think it’s totally well deserved… 🙂
Yaay! Good on Chris!
He’s such a good man. And with plenty of moolah now. 🙂
It’s all going to his head cos he won’t stop crowing on about how he’s earning more than me now!! Wahhh!!!! It feels so demeaning when both of you have been on the same wage and then one surges forward :X
Haha! But it goes to your common pool anyhow!
He has now no excuse not to buy you fabulous gifts!
lol! I have to admit, I like your way of thinking, hehehehe..
Nah, he wants to save up for a house and car so he can “settle down”, etc. Meh!
congratulations to chris, and that’s awesome for you both. wedding bells will be clanging soon methinks 😉
Thanks Pei! But errrr.. no wedding bells please 😛
yay! congrats!!!
Thank ya! I”ll pass the well wishes on 🙂
CONGRATS !!!
more LV. more shopping. more food !!!
Hehe that’s only for me, he’s not too interested in LV *or* shopping, lol! But food? DEFINITELY 😉
i thought he proposed! but this is excellent news too!
on the even brighter side, it just means that the dream of building a family together will be so much nearer with the man bringing in so much dough! ;p
ahhh, you’re going to be a partial tai-tai who’s the youngest manager in eBay!
Haha no way!! That would freak me out to bits 😉
Building a family is like the bottom of my priority list right now.. so I’m not really thinking about that. What IS cool is that we’re both happy with our careers 🙂
i thought you were getting married too. and getting married doesn’t equal building a family. you and chris are already like family…and that kid stuff could come much much later.
what is at the top of your priority list (besides work)?
That’s true that a marriage doesn’t equal a kid.. but it’s one step there, and I’m not really in a ‘start a family’ frame of mind, it’s kinda the last thing I want at the moment.
Top of my priorities are just a fab career, a really wonderful boyfriend and great friends and experiences.
good answer.
*looks around* looks like i add a touch of diversity in here, eh?;o)
Well to each their own, right? I know loads of friends that are married or have kids and are perfectly content, and I also know of others that are 100% happy with the exact opposite.. whatever floats your boat I suppose! 🙂
AWESOME! Now you can get him to buy you some stuff to celebrate! 😉
Like a Balenciaga! Haha.. if only they sold in Australia..
Get from the net lah! 😉
AU customs will charge me about $300 to get it in, and I refuse to give the government any MORE money, considering tax is already 50%! ahhhhhh ;(
congrats!!
haha, for one moment, I thought you guys were going to announce an engagement of some sorts.
congrats! I thought the same thing! hehe. 🙂
Ahhhhh!!! No way! But now that I re-read, haha yeah it does almost seem like it 😛
I thought it was going to be an engagement announcment as well. Congratulations to him! Have fun on your trip.
I think it somehow looked like that to heaps of people.. but nah, this is way cooler IMHO 😛
Congrats! That’s so awesome! 🙂

HAHAHA. Me too! I thought a marriage! Ahaha.
But congrats woo. sounds like exciting times ahead. 🙂 I’m super happy for you both!
Eww.. no marriage for us right now 😛
I’m happy for him, I hope he’ll love the job!
congrats!
hey!! I too thought it would be an engagement annoucement! keke..
MEGA congrats on the promotion for Chris. It’s lovely to hear about ppl who find their jobs fun and fulfilling!
I’m sure there are many more promotions to come in both your careers 🙂
Re: congrats!
Haha! Nono no no no.. not anytime soon 🙂 I’m really proud of him though, I thin he totally deserves it!
don’t ever do that again! i thought there was a ring involved! But congrats to you both! damn maybe i should move to aussieland!
half my friends here thought that too! I think I write misleading first sentences sometimes, and I didn’t even realise it until everyone pointed it out, haha 😛
Congrats! Although I thought you were going to say yall were getting married too LOL
Nooo way! Quite a few people thought that too, but if it really were, it’d be more like “OMGGGGGGGGGG you will NOT believe what happened today *mind boggles*”, lol!
That is SO wonderful for both of you! Anyone getting a raise will make it easier on both of you in the long run – there will probably be times when you make more, than him, than you 🙂 This is just one of those times…
I suppose a raise is always good.. I just wish it was me instead, hehe! Is that selfish? I guess I just us pulling in the same $$, but you know, this is a good thing so I shouldn’t complain right! 😛
More money in the family is always a good thing 🙂 Not having enough is soooo stressful that having enough no matter where it comes from is a gift to both of you. Your not ‘less’ because of it, your both more because of it…
And really, money isn’t what makes you equal – its attitude… Think about it this way… if you made $10,000 more than him would you want to think of him as ‘less’? (or want him to think of himself as less) Cause you might make more at some point…
Its something to think about… Theres enough competition in life …sometimes its best for home to be a safe haven from it
That’s true.. shouldnt’ take what we have for granted right? MOre is always better than less, regardless of who does it. Anyway, it gives me good goals to try and achieve 🙂
Hope you didint think I was dismissing your feelings… There is something comforting about being able to take care of yourself. And not needing the other person to do it…Its nice to want to be with the other person but not NEED them…
I was thinking the last few days that I was trying to give you the positive side – and probably should have just said something else…
Anything that changes the dynamics in relationships take time to get used to. be it money, or jobs or babies or whatever… I’m sure you guys will work it out
No not at all.. everyone has differing views anyone! I do agree with you too, it’s a good situation for Chris and that’s what matters 🙂
AMAZING! 😀 congratulations, that’s so great! That’s a really good thing for you as a couple, you’re both successful, both working for huge companies, i don’t think you’ll have any of the problems couples face, and let’s face it, you’re both beautiful and LOVE to eat 😉 I really do think you to are meant to be, just perfect with each other! Really happy for you! 🙂
Hehe thanks.. he’s really happy about it! I dunno about all the nice things you said though, but thank you, it’s really nice of you! 🙂
This is so cool.
I’m so excited for you. 🙂
I’m so happy for Chris! he works so much so I think it’s totally well deserved… 🙂
Yaay! Good on Chris!
He’s such a good man. And with plenty of moolah now. 🙂
It’s all going to his head cos he won’t stop crowing on about how he’s earning more than me now!! Wahhh!!!! It feels so demeaning when both of you have been on the same wage and then one surges forward :X
Haha! But it goes to your common pool anyhow!
He has now no excuse not to buy you fabulous gifts!
lol! I have to admit, I like your way of thinking, hehehehe..
Nah, he wants to save up for a house and car so he can “settle down”, etc. Meh!
congratulations to chris, and that’s awesome for you both. wedding bells will be clanging soon methinks 😉
Thanks Pei! But errrr.. no wedding bells please 😛
yay! congrats!!!
Thank ya! I”ll pass the well wishes on 🙂
CONGRATS !!!
more LV. more shopping. more food !!!
Hehe that’s only for me, he’s not too interested in LV *or* shopping, lol! But food? DEFINITELY 😉
i thought he proposed! but this is excellent news too!
on the even brighter side, it just means that the dream of building a family together will be so much nearer with the man bringing in so much dough! ;p
ahhh, you’re going to be a partial tai-tai who’s the youngest manager in eBay!
Haha no way!! That would freak me out to bits 😉
Building a family is like the bottom of my priority list right now.. so I’m not really thinking about that. What IS cool is that we’re both happy with our careers 🙂
i thought you were getting married too. and getting married doesn’t equal building a family. you and chris are already like family…and that kid stuff could come much much later.
what is at the top of your priority list (besides work)?
That’s true that a marriage doesn’t equal a kid.. but it’s one step there, and I’m not really in a ‘start a family’ frame of mind, it’s kinda the last thing I want at the moment.
Top of my priorities are just a fab career, a really wonderful boyfriend and great friends and experiences.
good answer.
*looks around* looks like i add a touch of diversity in here, eh?;o)
Well to each their own, right? I know loads of friends that are married or have kids and are perfectly content, and I also know of others that are 100% happy with the exact opposite.. whatever floats your boat I suppose! 🙂
AWESOME! Now you can get him to buy you some stuff to celebrate! 😉
Like a Balenciaga! Haha.. if only they sold in Australia..
Get from the net lah! 😉
AU customs will charge me about $300 to get it in, and I refuse to give the government any MORE money, considering tax is already 50%! ahhhhhh ;(
congrats!!
haha, for one moment, I thought you guys were going to announce an engagement of some sorts.
congrats! I thought the same thing! hehe. 🙂
Ahhhhh!!! No way! But now that I re-read, haha yeah it does almost seem like it 😛
I thought it was going to be an engagement announcment as well. Congratulations to him! Have fun on your trip.
I think it somehow looked like that to heaps of people.. but nah, this is way cooler IMHO 😛
Congrats! That’s so awesome! 🙂
Thanks! I’m super proud of him.. I think he totally deserves it 😀
I was with everyone and thought you were annoucing an engagement. I’m looking forward to you blogging about the Observatory Hotel.
I’ll def take pics on holiday.. I won’t go anywhere without my camera, heheh
How wonderful, all my congrats to Chris 🙂
Don’t worry, Bev, I’m sure this will motivate you to outdo him 😉
I’m super proud of him! but ya.. now I have to buckle up… I have a goal to get to *wink*
Wow!!
Although I thought you were about to make a wedding announcement. 😉
Haha so many people thought that too.. I guess you’re right, when I re-read it can be interpreted that way! But no way 😛
I thought you were getting married!!!!
Noooo you can rest assured that won’t come for awhile 😛
CONGRATS!!
Dream couple… *_*
Well he’s my dream guy, so that’ works! 😀
YAY!!! Congrats to Chris! Have a great holiday, you both! 🙂
Thank ya!! I’m looking forward to the holiday.. but trying to convince Chris to stay at a cheaper place.. I’m stingy when it comes to stuff like that, yet I think it’s ok to spend $$ on a bag. I’m crazy aren’t i 😉
Not crazy coz I am like you. I would spend on bags & some other stuff but NOT holidays. 🙂
Hehe glad you agree! holidays are kinda fleeting IMHO and i feel I never enjoy them enough and keep wanting more. But with bags/clothes, i HAVE it and can keep using it as long as I want!
Wow, a big congrats to you. Just like most of your readers, I also thought it was an engagement announcement 😉 I agree with Amanda about this increase is pay is going to your common pool, which is great 🙂 Have a fabulous holiday!!
It’s a common pool, but I would stilll prefer to be the one earning more, call me selfish! :X I think we’re too competitive with each other as he thinks the exact opposite, haha..
wow! I didn’t know that the IT industry earns so much… *cringes*
well, congratulations!!
It’s IT within the marketing organisation.. and marketing teams always have $$, at least in big companies!
Congratulations!!!!! And gawd.. the money you earn… *shakes head at myself*
You mean Chris? Ya I’m quite jealous.. he can now buy a house and car and he saves so much money since he doesn’t shop like me, haha!
I meant the both of you. ;p
So that makes him a very eligible husband-material then! heh
Hahha! Nah we’re too young , he’s not very husband-y and I’m not very wife-y 😛
HAHAHA. Me too! I thought a marriage! Ahaha.
