Lucky Chickadee
I have to admit, I am quite lucky in alot of senses. I have a wonderful, loving, caring family who supports me through ups and downs - of course, we have our fair share of arguments and disagreements, but hey, at the end of the day, we're still happily laughing when talking back about it. I have many good friends. Friends that support me through the roughest times of my life, through the sadest times and also here to share the happy dilly times!
5 days more to go till I go through a new adventure. As much as I know my family & friends will miss me, i know they are supporting me 110% all the way !!
Last night my mummy cooked me a nice home cooked dinner =) My favourite coconut chicken soup and lots of yummy tasty dishes !!
Mhhmm..my brothers home baked yummy blueberry cheesecake !!

A Happy Day ~
Today I spent a wonderful, relaxing and memoriable day with my dearest chickies. Met up for lunch @ the fish markets. Got a really nice table right next to the water.
Under the clear blue skys and with the not so hot sun, it was the perfect day. (emm.. besides the wind and the small incident.. hehe...sorry becs !! ) Amongst the 5 of us, there was plenty of chats from unpersonal to mega personal, lots of laughters and minor tears (caused by a meanie - and you know who you are !! ) hehee =)
We had kilpatrick and mornay oysters, fish & chips, blue eye cod, deep fried prawns, skewered prawns, calamari, salt & pepper squid, yummy jap seaweed, salmon & fresh oysters =)
Then afternoon tea at intercon, and of course, we couldn't resist.... a blackforest cake, a marscapone strawberry cake and a lemon lime & bitters cake ~
Thank you chickies for coming & making this day so enjoyable & memoriable ~
I'm going to miss you all soooo much ~ Hope you all had a fab day tooooo !!!
Love you all soo sooo much !!!

No No No.. I am seriously not counting down. No... really, im not counting down. Why is time going by so quickly ? These couple of days have been used to have catch up lunches, will do promises, family and friend dinners. After Jennifer's Wedding on the 21st Jan, one of the hottest Sunday's ever, I feel I haven't stopped.
Here are my adventures during the last couple of days:
Cupcakes on Pitt Street : Didas is the one with this green icing ~ mines a carrot cupcake .. soooo yummy =P
Australia Day - After dropping Alice & Ah Bec at the airport, we drove past this Cupcake shop in Neutral Bay... unfortunately it was closed .. but we still managed to take a few pics from the outside!
A yummy breakfast lunch at Bills ~
Korean Restaurant in Chinatown that makes yummy cheese rock rice!

18 days left...
18 days left while i'm in Sydney. I should utilise my time efficiently. Spending time with my closest friends, spending time with my family, taking many many snaps to remember my last days in Sydney before I take the leap to HK. Just thinking about it makes me sad. Definitely excited, but also worried how I would adapt there. Had a family dinner tonight with my Aunt and cousins. My cousin gave me a journal. Very useful...i'll be sure to use it and detail every bit of this experience. Took a very happy snap with my mum & ashleigh =)

15/16
It's when I have to make an important decision, that I wish that YOU were here to guide me in the right direction. Whether I should take this chance or not take it.
I was pretty sure that I wanted to go ahead and make this move, but today, after shedding tears while talking to my best friend K, when I finished talking to her, in the late afternoon and when I was taking a shower tonight, reading a friendster testimonial, and whilst I am typing this, I question myself, is this the right thing to do. I know I want to, I know I want to take this opportunity, I know it will work out. I know this is a great opportunity I don't want to miss.
I have asked many opinions from my mum, my brother, my relatives and my special friends. I've gotten too much advice thats made my mind run wild. I just want some quite time to think about what I want and whether this is the best thing for me.
I can already see my emotional fluctuations. This morning, i was excited, ready to pack my bags, tonight i dont want to leave. I want to stay here with my family and friends. In this house. In my room. With my car. With my furniture. I can already feel my emotions go up and down. I know I will be like this for the next couple of months. I have alot of questions that I have running in my head and the more ppl talk about this, the more pressure I feel I have. I feel like i'm strangled. I feel like I can't breathe. I do understand that it's because you all care for me and wish the best for me...but I think now, I need my space. I think that's what I need now.

Personal Ethics
It's not often i get told that I am immature, always depressed, cancels on important meetings, acting stupidly, rude, selfish. No doubt, it hurts, it really hurts to be told i'm something i have never thought myself to be. Nor has my best friend or any of my closest friends ever told me I am this.
I must admit, I can or may have carried some of the above in the past, or presently, but I don't believe it's to the extent that someone needs to SMS it to me to tell me that. I think everyone has certain levels of immaturity, sadness, happiness, or being rude and selfish and its to what extent your friends and family can or cannot accept. It also depends on who the opponent is.
In many experiences I have had with certain friends, i've found that the ones that tell you "hey, you look really tired and drawn out today.." are the people who are feeling tired and drawn out themselves. The people that ask you "How come you can be so casual to work?" when you are wearing a smart Cue suit are the ones who are wearing a 3/4 length pants with a casual top to work.
I wonder if this is the same reason for the SMS as what i have experienced before?
I try my very best to maintain personal ethics. Having my own set of values and principles that I live by. Reading a couple of Ethical Decison Making Models, Rion (1991), Langenderfer & Rockness (1990), Guy (1990), Hall (1993) and Hodgson (1992), I realised that my own values and principles are based on a combination of Guy (1990) and Hodgson (1992).
This being caring, honest, respecting others, integrity, fairness, loyalty, keeping promise and pursuit of excellence.
I do need to repeat myself, i do try my very best to maintain this, but like everyone else, i'm just another human being and there are always times where i might fail. But does times like that need to be told to me like the way it did?
Do i need to explain myself ? No.. i've been told, i dont need to explain myself and if thats what they think, let it be. Who cares!

Happy 2007 !!
Here's to wish all my family and friends out there a very happy & healthy and successful 2007!!
I hope that all your dreams and wishes come true !
Always smile and be happy ~ May 2007 be better than 2006!
On another note: a VERY BIG THANK YOU to K for inviting us and sharing her house with us. A beautiful & uncrowded view of the fireworks from her lounge room! Driving back from K's at 5.45am in the morning, C & I saw the first sunrise in 2007 and a beautiful rainbow to compliment it ~ Because both our camera batteries had died on us, we were lucky enough to turn our camera on and take one, and only one shot - Here's a car shot to prove it !! hehe =)
