been a while

omg its been like 4 months since i last posted. what a lazy bugger i am

whats been happening....

i moved... to another state. new place is great, its a complex, with a clubhouse with gym and maintenance ppl around the clock. all the good stuff that comes with living in a community. living with another couple. its been alright, sometimes i do want the place just ot myself tho... but im enjoying it. its good to be able to chat to other ppl thats not your husband ehheh

got a job... office at the warehouse of a furniture company. its been alright, ppl i work with are nice. the work is... just work, gotta do what you gotta do kinda mentality. the commute sucks. over an hour each way, very taxing. been there over 3 wks now, and starting to get into the rhythm of working full time. it was hard to do at first, after not working for like 8months

missing my family & friends... there are moments that i'd just feel that feeling where my heart is like, being pressed against, and tears would start to well up in my eyes cos i miss my family so much. same goes for my friends. after i started work, i havent been able to be on msn much so havent chatted with anyone for ages...

married life is good.... still feel a bit giddy when i say "my husband...." hehehe

havent been shopping..... feels like its been a long time since i've purchased anything. i guess its good since i dont really need anything. went shopping on the weekend, walked around the shopping centre for like an hour, bought nothing and left. was so excited to go, it was rather anticlimatic when i left with nothing

got my ears pierced... been over 6 wks now, and its getting a bit infected. so it'll be a little while before i can wear my fancy new earrings. can't wait!!!

prolly going to arizona in august.... spending a few days with the kiddies and rach. only decided that last night. very much looking forward to it

Sweet Home Ala... Sydney!!!!

finally back home now. so happy to be here

went to wagga for dom and afton's wedding last weekend. it was terrific. everything was perfect and i had a lot of fun. congratulations to the happy couple

back in sydney and just chilling with friends and family. went to the beach yesterday. i forget how beautiful sydney beaches are. got myself a little bit tanned, but would love to tan more. since i'm sure once i go back to ny, the cold will zap away my tan in like 2 wks!!

where for art thou my friends

well in honour of my friend amanda, i thought i'd write a little something something, even though i dun got much to say....

talking to amanda on msn just reminded me even more of how much i miss my friends in sydney. and how much i can't wait to go back to see them. although its less than 2 wks before i get to see them, it feels like a long time cos this week here is not looking great. its gonna be super cold, and a bit busy trying to get a few things done before we leave.

i've found lately that its really getting to me how much i miss my friends and how sad i am that i dun really have any friends here in NY. i've always been lucky enough to have friends to hang out with when i want, and quiet time when i want, it was a good balance. now its really all just quiet time, and it sucks. dont get me wrong, my hubby is great, but a girl really do need her girlfriends...

well as i brace myself for the next few extremely cold days, hopefully my spirits will lift a bit in anticipation of my return home trip

happy new year

its a couple days into the new year and this time, i've decided to be realistic and not set any new years resolutions. its always failed before so i figured, if i dont set any, i can't fail!! yes thats right, i'm aiming low this year =)

its been fun the last couple weeks, going on vacation (although i technically have been on vacation for the last 9 months!) out west, hanging with friends and family, seeing new babies - 3 new babies in the last 2 months! almost makes me wanna have a kid now. but then they start crying, spitting up, and producing me nasty poop, that sorta stop the baby craving!

not much else happening... been meaning to update my resume so i can start looking for jobs, but of cos i've been too lazy. just looking forward to going back to sydney at the end of the month for 2 wks.

im over it

ok i tried to end this blog cos i didnt like the fact that when i wanted to vent, i was unable to cos too many ppl i know who knows the same ppl as me read the blog and words will travel, and also i might hurt someone i care about with my ranting

but now i'm over it.. and decided i love this blog too much to stop it

thats just me... i get so worked up about stuff sometimes but after a while, the anger dies down... or more likely, i find something else to get worked up about and the previous thing just dont bother me no more. its like having the attention span of a goldfish =)

so thats that, i'll continue with writing on this blog once in a blue moon and i'll be happy =)

THE END

dum dum da dum, dum dum da dum

Wow I’m married. So obviously, the typical question I got this week is, “how is it being married?”

Well, on the one hand, its great to have all that wedding stuff behind me. It turned out to be a great wedding, if I do say so myself. But that’s hardly credit to me or my husband (yep, I still giggle a bit when I say this word), its credit to our family and friends who were there. And also those who couldn’t make it who sent their well wishes. It was a great day cos people all seem to have enjoyed themselves, especially my family and my friends who came all the way from Australia, HK, Toronto etc.
Even though some things didn’t go according to plan, I couldn’t cared less on the day. I think that’s also the ingredient to a great wedding day. I didn’t think I’d be able to enjoy myself cos I’d be too stressed or something. But my instinct kicked in on the day and I just forgot all the petty things that I was suppose to care about and just had fun! Now that, is credit to me. hehehe

On the other hand, it’s a little bit of an empty feeling that I have nothing to do now. No more wedding stuff. I think that’s not so much me missing the wedding stuff, but just me being bored and jobless.

On another hand, married life is pretty much the same as living-together life. So there isn’t that much I need to adjust to, which is good.

On another hand also, we still have visitors staying with us, so it’s still a “high” time. Not boring, so no over-thinking things which is good
Tentatively planning for the honeymoon now – Hawaii and Sydney in December. Handed in the paperwork required for me to leave this country (and be allowed back in) last week so hoping for the best with that. Otherwise, might need to find somewhere else to go on the honeymoon. And not to mention to great disappointment to my parents cos they are planning to have a dinner thing for all the family and relatives who couldn’t make it to New York for the wedding
