Hyper Drive

As normal, the week went into extreme over-drive. Just flew and everything a blur. A big Yay for the weekends. Friday night was not a great start. I was feeling a little sick and did not do anything social after work. One of my awesome brothers is flying off to London as he got his highly skilled visa and will gone for a fair while, unfortunate I couldn't go to his farewell. I shall see him tomorrow though as the family will bid him adieu. *sniff*.

On a lighter note, such a great Saturday. I was a waitress for a day (3-4hrs of it). Was lending my hands to my sister in-law's amazing cafe in Pyrmont.

Food was delish and coffee awesome! It is such an amazing experience, I've never worked in a cafe before..never been a waitress --except for a very brief stint at Burger King after high school where I worked behind the cash register (2 weeks of it). Which led me to think about how amazing it is to be your own boss. Sure there are risks and a lot of hard work, but in the end the business is yours and having the freedom to make it the way you envision it to be.
Would sure be something to look forward to when I find out what it is that I want to setup.


Also just found out that Orlando and Miranda have tied the knot!! (Yes, I am behind). Orlando is my fantasy husband, after seeing him in the Lord of the Rings and Pirates, I was in
♥. I also think that Miranda is the best match for him. She is a gorgeous beyond belief, amazing fashion sense and an Aussie to boot.

Fashion wise, I wish winter would end already! Not the fact that it's freezing *brrrr* The extra kgs from eating to build up body fat (my # excuse) for the cold is not helping! Would love to wear my summer dresses again! I heart the below looks! Come on Spring/Summer!!!


And now time for moshi in ginger and honey syrup with taro! Yummo!! While watching Ocean's 11 with the hubster on the sofa. x

Very first post..Weekends ♥

People are complex beings. Each person has different thoughts, dreams and aspirations and based on these makes the person unique from anyone else.

I ♥ weekends! This is the time when I get out of the rat race and the corporate life and do what I am truly passionate about .. at this stage I am still finding out what I am truly passionate about hence I have to carry on building at my career..it's just that the weekends offer so many things. The only downside to it is that once Saturday is gone, the carefree artistic side goes down along with it as there's a whole week at the office to prep myself for.
For the past few weeks I've been thinking about what is one's purpose in life? Are people meant to just go find themselves a career, make money, get married make babies and die? Is this what life is about? I've asked a few close friends and have created a 10 year plan. After careful consideration my plan roughly looks like this....

1-3 yrs
  • Save enough money in the piggy bank to build a nest egg and use for investment.
  • Still be in the rat race
  • Get my company up and running
  • Buy an investment property
3-5 yrs

  • Relocate to another country
  • Start a family
  • Company + investments doing well
  • Move away from rat race

5-10yrs
  • Financial freedom by 40 yo
  • Help the less fortunate

Hmm. See how I go I guess.

I had coffee with mum Saturday and she is one of the most courageous, funny and content people I know. She just see life in such a positive light and I am fortunate enough to get along with her so well. Not having sisters, I suppose she and I have become close because of this.Sunday had lunch with the in-laws. Very insightful. Both of my sister in-laws have a coffee shop with a lot of potential. One is Jamaica Blue in Perth and the other is closer to home in Pyrmont. If anyone wants a good coffee and lunch Delicurious is open Monday-Saturday at Harris Street, Pyrmont.

Just found a book lying around the living room called "Why do I love these People" by PO Bronson..will start reading just to get away from doing the taxes!
