101 Things in 1001 Days

Well. The next 2 years and 7 months will be an interesting and possibly life changing one. That list took about half a day to compose. I think it shows that I'm not very ambitious and don't really think past a year. Obviously, compiling this list has made me think about my life and where I want to be and what I want to have (preferably) achieved by October 7, 2014. I think they are achievable but it will be a game of waiting and seeing if they are achieved by that time.

I will post up the list here at the end of the entry and create a page on this blog for me to cross off and update as I go. There will be monthly updates on what is achieved etc. Hopefully. No, there will be. 6/101 goals are to do with saving x amount with the lowest being $2,000 and highest being $10,000. Is $10,000 reasonable for 2.7 years?? Hopefully. But, this is based on my current job at the electronics store. But I think it will be fine as long as I  remain employed somewhere and have an income. =)

Wish me luck!

P.S. I also remember and found the 30 Things Before 30 I created probably about a year to two years ago. That will be something else I will work towards at the same, obviously. And I will have more time to complete the other things.

Happy New Year! ^_^

Happy New Year, Friends! :D

Thought it was time to update this thing, seeing as it's a new year :)

I have had an AMAZING last month of 2011! Pretty much most things, if not everything in my life fell into place and I just had a really happy month of spending time with friends, plans and events! I will do a post of that sometime this week or next.I did start it but didn't quite get around to posting it for some reason...

I hope every one of my friends that I met through this blog (and my old ones) had an amazing start to the new year, I know I did. It couldn't have been better... well, if one more thing happened, it would have been perfect! Hopefully, with this new year I am able to update regularly and also continue a few things regularly such as keeping a track of my finances :]

That's all I wanted to say. Will update at the end of the week or in another couple of days~

Montrose Cafe High Tea~

This weekend was a really nice one. Went to High Tea with friends at Montrose Cafe in Mairangi Bay. Me and a friend bought a voucher a while ago for this and finally went this weekend! It was really nice. And real affordable too! It's usually $25 but not sure how much I paid for the voucher. You get a tea or coffee and a three-tier selection of sweet and savoury treats! Sooo good! I'd definitely recommend it and the cafe was really nice too. Nice ambiance!

.... should have taken more photos, like of the actual place cos it was decorated really nicely! But, if you want to check out the cafe, here's the link.

Everything just melts away when I’m lying here


Contradictions.
Of such things like the 'affirmation'/quote above left... I'm sure there is another affirmation out there that contradicts this one. Not exactly the same and exact exact but, I'm thinking you know what I mean?

Cos right now, I'm not getting any attention or love from someone I want... which isn't my BF because I'm single now so... yes. Didn't really want to announce it or mention it but yes. Single life is great but at the same time, when you want something.... like a guy, it's filled with soo much difficulty. Or is it supposed to be? Or referring back to the second affirmation/quote, nothing worth having comes easy....?

We are filled in a world with so many contradictions and standards and just restrictions..

On another note, one of the songs that's been playing quite often on my iTunes.

there are many things I would like to say to you, I don't know how

Just as the title suggests, these past few days, there have been about 3-4 different things that I would like to say but I don't know which to post up. Instead, I have decided to post up today's idea: the feeling of being stuck in a rut and needing to do something about it.

For the past month, I haven't worked because my work thought that I had found full time work. In actual fact, I hadn't and not sure how that idea came about. Possibly a potential employer called her up and that's where the idea came from... but, that's beside the point. I made contact with work and will probably begin to get work again but I think it might be time to move on. I've been there for a year and a half now, most probably and although it is a great job and it pays so well, it's time to move on. To do so, I need to stop being lazy and start using my time more effectively!

I know that many people feel this way and most probably am in the same predicament. I also have a sense of lack of achievement this year... even though I finished and graduated from my studies... I guess there is next year. Hopefully, I haven't bored you with this. To reward, have some pictures from last weekend when I went out for Halloween with my friend. Also expect another "deep" post soon. For some reason, I've really been mulling and thinking deeply, guess that's what happens when you get old...

Oh, also here a few videos of my current favourite songs. One a little depressing and the other not so depressing. I like the lyrics of the second song.
