The Push.

- Success comes to those who work for it - 

Current song obsession:

2 nights ago, I intended to blog on this particular post. I actually finished it. Wrote out the whole thing. Had everything ready in sequence. But during that point in time, my internet got disconnected. So, although the page on the top right hand corner marked my page as "saved", it really was just lying -.- Now, I'm really annoyed cause I don't really remember what I typed! :( Usually I just go with the flow. So trying to retype what I wrote for the 2nd time just isn't going to be the same.. What to do?? I should try typing it into Microsoft or something. At least I can save without relying on my Internet.  

Anywhoo... I'm so excited! So much happening in the next few months! I cannot wait! On top of that, I am ALMOST a full time working woman!! Not yet. But almost officially employed! WOOHOO! Hard work does pay off. I do believe that success can be achieved through the commitment set to achieve one's goal. 

It wasn't an easy journey. So much to learn in such a short amount of time. But that's the part I enjoy the most. Having to learn as much as I can. And the thrill I get when I understand something. Weirdo right?? >.<

I've gotten over my gym funk too! I've been busy working out almost everyday. Which is something I used to do back in Melbourne. I actually do look forward to the gym for Yoga/Pilates/Cardio. Such a great way to end my busy day. I heard that it takes 4 weeks to really see a significant difference. So I'm going to see how that works out. I'm currently in week 2. 

Now that I've gotten quite adjusted to my work life routine, I managed to incorporate some social commitments into my schedule. I was so excited last month cause there were lots and lots and lots of fashion show to attend!!! My favorite kinda events :) 

I was lucky to get an invite to STYLO Fashion Week, which was held in conjunction to the F1 Grand Prix.

The STYLO Fashion Grand Prix 2013 Gala Night.

The STYLO Kronenbourg L'Aperitif Fashion

The picture below is just too cute Kelly!! :) Had to include it here. 

Not long after that, I attended the official debut of the Ferrari F12berlinetta.

Although I do not know much about cars, it was an interesting experience to be there. I did not realize how much time and effort was put into creating such a beautiful sports car. Well, no wonder its called a supercar! Being someone who has zero knowledge about cars, it was definitely an eye opener for me. I sat there, listening attentively to the experts passionately explaining the technical specs of the car and it truly inspired me. It made me look at cars with a whole new set of eyes. I think all it takes to change a person's perception is to provide them with a little awareness...

Well, thank you NAZA Italia & MHB for the invite to participate.

Moving on from supercars to superb parties. 

For some reason those few weeks were filled with events. I know there's other events every other week. But somehow the events that I wanted to attend are the ones that are held one after another. That's why I burn out at the end of the week la! Lucky these few weeks I've been getting some downtime.

Also from a more recent party:

More photos on the DEFINE "elegantly white" -themed party soon! 

Time for bed now! (11pm on a Saturday night). I feel so old. LOL. 

Until next time!

Lots of love,

Just a Fool.

Currently on replay:

It is the start of April. How did I not notice? Precious time slipping through my fingers ever so quickly. I've finally created a routine that I'm fairly comfortable with. Lots of Yoga & Pilates involved. It is going to be my weekly thing. I think right now, due to the 9-6 job I have, this is the best form of exercise :) Of course I try to fit in cardio (mainly swimming and jogging) twice a week. That should be sufficient I guess!

The perks of having a busy schedule? 

I don't have to worry about my personal life. It might seem like a total bore to some, but I really enjoy it. I like spending time at home with my family. Meeting friends who are true to me. I am thankful. 

Sometimes, I don't understand how rumor-mills start.. But then again, like a girlfriend of mine said.. "You can't control what other people say". So true and yet we dwell on these things. I guess at the end it comes down to hurt. How you've put so much trust on some people and yet they let you down. 

I admit, I do ponder about it once in awhile. But less so now than before. Today, I had more time to think. Finally faced the truth to some aspects of my life. I have questioned things again and again. But I've always ended up pushing it aside. Today, I've finally challenged myself to face reality. It was a long process. Lots of self-inflicted stress. But totally worth it. Now I feel like I've made it out of that dark tunnel. I see a brighter light. I've let go of certain things that needed to be forgotten. And thankfully, I made it through. 

You live and you learn ~

Lots of love,
xoxo

HAPPY EASTER 2013 !!

**Flashback*

Easter Celebration during my 1st year at Melb Uni. How fast has time gone by!!?? Sheesh... 

One thing is for sure, I truly miss Melbourne. After all, it was my home for 5 years.

Anyway, wishing ya'll a very Happy Easter Day!

Gonna spend mine with the loved ones. Watching movies at home = ideal :) I'm so glad my brother is home for the holidays. Living with him overseas for so many years made me rely on his company. Well, at least knowing that he is around in the next room made it a whole lot more comforting. Now I have to organize a skype session with him instead. Okay, instead of being sappy, let's just focus on Easter instead yeah? 

So, go enjoy all those chocolates! :D :D

Lots of love,

xoxo 

A little bit of everything

~ Everyday is a struggle and everyday is another battle ~

Why is it that we are all constantly searching? What is it that we are searching for in the first place? Happiness? Success? Serenity? Or just merely the feeling of being content? Why is it that we need to understand these things? What is the purpose of it all? 

Is it that void we're all trying so desperately to fill? Whatever it may be. Whether it is love, lust or plain happiness? Having a companion to share your ups and downs with. Or just calling that bestie of yours to tell them you had a promotion. What is it that we want? Why do we feel satisfied by these little things. What explanation is there to it? Well obviously these questions have been asked and researched on. Probably the psychologist would somewhat have an answer. But these questions are valid questions. They are subjective. There is no right or wrong. It all depends on the individual.

I for one do not understand it all. I am still figuring out what my purpose in life is. I know its no hurry. And many my age should just take their time and enjoy the ride. But I don't work that way. I need to know. I like knowing what's about to happen. I like anticipating for what is coming next. I like safe. I wasn't this bad before. I used to be more adventurous. I told myself I should try to let go. Be easy going. Be a kid. Trust me, I've tried. And look where it has gotten me. Back to square one. I am the way I am. And since I've come to terms with it, I should start figuring out my purpose here.

That statement itself, is another dilemma. How am I suppose to do that???

Furthermore, I have things to deal with where someone my age shouldn't even have to worry about. Just my luck I guess. Screw having a healthy lifestyle. It doesn't work. Some things you're just born with. And that is a fact. 

When all else fails, write. Hahah. That's my best medicine. 

And although I have been very undisciplined in maintaining my blog, I am very thankful to my loyal readers who do check up on me once in awhile. I thank you for that! You guys give me a reason to keep blogging! <3

Lots of love,
xoxo
