Confessions of an Idllyic Mind

Its 2008! Its frightening how the year just jumps and takes a leap on me. Its just overwhelming to think that I'm not freezing my ass off in a koala and ill mannered aboriginals native country anymore. No more being afraid to put my bare ass on the toilet seat in winter, no more swatting flies in summer, no more having to put up with Gloria Jeans, no more having to gage what my smelly+old+loud Macedonian landlord has to say, no more eating shanghai noodles with miso soup and cabbage for dinner, no more getting rid of books to get to bed/getting rid of books to get out of bed/getting rid of books to sit on my chair/getting rid of books from table to put the laptop during exam period, no more shaking the antique washing machine to get the dryer to start spinning, and the best bit, no more moths in spring!!!!! Yeah life out of Perth is that good. But i do miss that place somehow. Did stuff there that I would never ever forget or do again. Had my hair dyed there for the very first time (thanks sherli) and many more.. Ahhh ... memories ... Just wanna take this time to thank everyone in my 2007 life that made the year great for me.

A lot happened in the span of a year. I lost an uncle. Lost some friendship that i will never try to rekindle again. Quit a job. Lost total respect for someone that i think is a old pervert now. Gained a stronger bond with my girlies. Gained more self confidence. Bought a car. Bought my own wardrobe. Joined a MNC and having a job that is fulfilling, achieving career goals set out for myself and still bring true to myself. Just wanna thank God for continuously blessing me even though i dont deserve it at times. I know my stay here on earth is just a temporary visit but i want to make the most out of it while i'm here. Here are some things i want to atleast start achieving for the year of 2008 and beyond.

1. Buy a camera. Looking at Canon Ixus. Can i get some feedback from camera savvy people pls?
   
2. Gain more experience from work.
   
3. Travel to 2 major cities in the world. Shanghai & Dubai, here i come!!!!! (to be accomplished within a few yrs span)
4. Lose 5 kgs (to be accomplished ASAP!! Gonna be living on lettuce and Diet Coke). Gotta lose enough to wear my very first bikini!
   
5. Build up my faith level.
   
6. Write a short story. So excited! Gonna start work on it soon even though i have no clue what to write. But i'm gonna start!!
   
7. Meet someone that will take care of me (to be accomplished when the right one comes along)
8. Start a concrete financial/investment plan.
