I really should blog more..especially when I have so much spare time at work! It's been really quiet and for once, we're like vultures trying to hunt for something to do! I brought my assignments and stuff to read and do but its so easy to get distracted when my colleague is playing poker and everyone else is chatting! Been trying to tell myself that I should enjoy going to work without having to work! But its hard..i like being a busy little bee!!!!
Met someone nasty today...can't believe how nasty people can be sometimes. Women are really bitchy sometimes, even when they are in the wrong! Oh well, i suppose times like this i tell myself that there's karma and they will get what they deserve. I shouldn't have to stoop to their level and if they are nasty, they will suffer in the sense that they will lose their friends, they will be lonely, won't be well liked etc etc. Let the world punish these people for me. I don't have to get my hands dirty! :)

Looking back and 2008 here I come...
Not too sure why but i'm feeling very positive at the moment. I am not contented with what i have achieved in life and it is definitely way off my target but i truely believe that i'm blessed and i'm doing very well. I'm not a millionaire but that's still on the cards and i'll get there one day and well these are the reasons why i think i should thank god for:
Asupportive family that stands behind me
An absolutely gorgeous fiance that i know i'll be spending the rest of my life with
Fantastic friends who's always there to hear me whinge
Getting the opportunity to work with such fantastic workmates and it just makes life so much easier
It only takes me 5mins in the morn to put on my makeup and i'll look presentable
Having the opportunity and brains to run a business after work
Knowing how to manage my finances
I don't own any nail polish, mascara, eye pencil and eye shadow but i still look good
I don't exercise and don't have the healthiest lifestyle but i'm not fat
So well, in summary, i feel that i should be glad on how i'm travelling in life. It's not the rosiest and easiest path but isn't that what makes life interesting as well? And with 2008 just round the corner, i'm just so filled with energy and courage knowing that it is going to be so much bigger and better and this should be it:
We would have sold our property and be sitting with a fair chunk of cash that we can use for investment (gotta watch that and make the right decisions but well, i suppose invest in good companies and remember that its a long term investment and not let the short term volatility get to me!
We have a rough idea of where we'll be renting and what we will be renting so I cant wait to move all of mum and dad's furniture out of storage and have a place of our own. We won't be sharing with anyone so it'll be our own place..not a house but home. I know its just a rental property but well, with the property market stagnant or going down, we're better of renting anyway. Plus we don't know how long we'll be staying here for as we're looking to moving interstate or to another country so we'll see. Buying or owning a property is definitely not part of our plan.
Business will be getting bigger and better! I've got expansion plans all ready to roll and i know i'll succeed. Things have been fantastic over the last 2-3 months and i might be able to go part time at work so i won't be as tired and i'll have more time to expand the business. I can't wait! So many plans, so many dreams that needs to be executed!!
I'll finish my studies soon and will finally be able to get my license to give financial advice legally. Not too sure if i want to do that as if i have a choice in life, it'll still be going full time into my business but we'll see.
So thank you for a fantastic 2007 and 2008, here i come filled with dreams and hopes!!!

Elizabeth: The golden age
watched elizabeth: the golden age last night. I have to say it isn't as bad as what I heard and I actually quite enjoy it.
I was dreading going to the movies last night. I have so much to do at home. I need to clean the house, pack all my stock, deal with my business and on top of that, I actually have a full time job! So life's been a juggling act and with christmas round the corner, it's even worst! So well, we had these free tickets and thought we might as well go watch a movie. I was tired, lots on my mind, lack of sleep and some days i feel as though i have to allocate time for my fiance as well so that i'm not neglecting him. And it felt like that last night. So well, wasn't too excited about going to the movies, didn't hear many good reviews about elizabeth and i suppose i went in all negative. However, i walked out a totally different woman. I feel the power, i feel the confidence and i feel that it gave me strength to put up with everything that's happening in my crazy world. And that life after all that isn't really all that bad.

idiots work at Australia Post..
I'm piss off with Australia Post..was very close to biting that stupid post office lady's head off! My partner went there yesterday and we are meant to collect this parcel but it wasn't there. So i emailed the seller and asked him and he confirmed that he has sent it last week. So well, i had to call Australia Post to ask where the parcel is and the post office finally confirmed and said that they have a new sorting guy and didn't sort it properly but it's been sitting there ready for collection.
So well, this post office isn't round the corner but a 10mins drive away..so we had to go out of our way to go to this post office to collect the parcel again and when i was there, the lady said..oh there must have been a mistake. There's no parcel for your collection. I had to tell her that well, I was told the parcel is waiting for collection this morning so it has to be there..went back to the room for another few minutes and she finally came out with a parcel and her excuse was..oh its the wrong name. I wish i could scream at her..it doesn't matter who the parcel is addressed to! It is sent to my PO Box so I am here to collect it! Just because you guys have a bad filing system for parcel, it is not my problem? And if you are at fault and not looking properly, don't find a stupid excuse to give cos you'll only look like an idiot.
This lady should thank god that i don't have the time and that post office is not the one nearest to me cos if it is, i will be dropping my parcels off every day to make her life difficult because at the end of the day, I AM THE CUSTOMER! idiots....don't mess around with the wrong person!

I'm glad i managed to survive today cos the caffeine didn't work and I was so tired and yawning the whole day! Didn't help that things are really slow these days leading up to christmas and i didn't have much to do. ekk....it was so difficult....i hope i don't have many of these days..might need a few more shots of caffeine and that's not healthy..i'm trying to stick to 1 coffee a day!!
WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP!
WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP!

Kevin Rudd - the new prime minister....
So the polls have been correct all these while...that kevin rudd is the new PM. I'm glad that he won cos he seems to be in touched with the people of Australia. He understands, he listens, he has the energy and wants to make Australia a better and stronger country. He gave a very good speech on saturday night and by Sunday morning, he's already giving his 2nd speech and has spoken to George Bush, Gordon Brown etc etc. I admire his energy and you can tell how motivated he is.
It is true that John Howard has helped reduce unemployment rates and the Australian economy has never been better. However, is that John Howard's contribution or is Australia just the lucky recipient of China's booming economy? He seems to be very focussed on the economy of Australia but many issues such as the problems within the Aboriginal communities, climate changes, health system and education system seems to be ignored. And if the economy is doing so well, why is the great Austalian dream of owning a house so difficult for people in their 20s-30s to own their own house?
John Howard has made enormous contributions but maybe because the economy is doing so well that we can afford to have a change of government and even if it is a mistake, the price to pay isn't as great. And looking at Kevin Rudd, I believe we have made the right choice. Many issues won't be resolved overnight but he has gained our trust that he will resolve it asap.
So congratulations kevin rudd, we have placed our faith in you...it's time you show us what you are capable of.

Omigod..its been a month...
Time flies...i've been thinking of writing a post in here for a while but never managed to do so. So a quick update of my life...work work work...business is getting busier and busier by the day...employed someone I trust to help me out and it's been fantastic! it has definitely opened more avenues for me! Christmas is just round the corner and i've been working real hard to make as much as I can before the retail season's over and i can take a breather from christmas to mid-jan. Things have been going really well and the idea of going part time at work so that i can deal with what i really love to do is creeping back into my head..at the end of the day, what do i have to lose? We'll see...
It's election time this Saturday...I can't wait to find out who's Australia's next prime minister. I have lots of views on the whole thing but well, never mind...we'll find out on Saturday and we'll know. Hopefully, Australia can make the right choice and put the right guy there for the job :)
