LG -- Life's Good !

No matter what hardships, emotional turmoil or circumstances comes around, I remind myself constantly that Life's Great! Just laugh away the sorrow.

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it. Life is bliss, taste it.
Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it.Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.
well said Mother Teresa

Monday - itis

Very first Monday-itis for this year! My brain was a complete mush when I got into work today. Luckily these days, time flies regardless of what I do - must be a downside of getting older! Didn't help also that we had pizzas for dinner last night. Very same pizza I also took to lunch today @_@.I've made a resolution (very late in the year I know!) to cut down on buying lunch outside as it does add up. The pizza and mocha did not help with the Monday-itis. TG that after lunch time just flew and it was home time. Got out relatively early so decided to go grocery shopping. Another resolution we made - to eat less out.

What's in the bags?I felt like tapping into my inner asian and got heaps of asian things. Leaning towards Chinese and Japanese (thank you Chinatown for being in the way of me getting home!). Master chef eat your heart out! Now to just cook these. What I'm thinking for dinner..miso noodle soup with pak choy, fish ball and beef cubes. Topped with seaweed and for dessert moshi in honey and ginger syrup with taro.

Noticed that hubby was MIA when I got home (hence, I am blogging!) and that he didn't take the car with him..meaning I will need to pick him up and we will be getting dinner out. Miso noodle soup will have to wait I guess.

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!
