Today I went to the Aroma Festival on The Rocks. This is a haven for anyone who loves their coffee, tea and chocolate. The place was packed with people...
When I got there, I tried a sample of the mint rocky road. The chocolate was too much for me that I couldn't eat the whole thing! So ended up throwing it out =(.
I tried soy chai latte, vanilla honey and club cinnamon bondi chai. I liked it so much that I bought two packets of one of each. I am hooked on chai latte more =)
I tried this turkish pastry that the queue was so long, it took me 20 minutes to wait for this pastry. But it was worth it =) Very tasty...
I roamed around The Rocks market. Next time I might buy some stuff there =)
I really enjoyed myself at the festival =)
Considering I haven't exercised for awhile. I thought I would start today =). So I went for a swim and then relax by using the spa. Boy my body is so stiff...
I went back to my place to have a shower like any normal person would do after exercising =P I got into the shower there was no hot water. Then I just remembered I saw last night there was a notice in the lift advising residents that there was no hot water due to some issue with the boiler. That would be right, I was thinking it was fixed. There I was standing there, naked and freezing my butt off. Usually I don't curse but what would you do in this instance? I was thinking F*&k considering it was freezing cold.
I just thought I would get this pet peeve out of my system and the best way is to write about it and then I will get over it....
When both your flatmates are out of the country for 2 weeks and been staying at home and have no one to talk to for the last week, feeling bored out of my brains. So I called my friend to have dinner and walk around the shops as it was Thursday night shopping.
I bought the Justin Timberland CD as it was on sale at Myer hehehe. Listen to the CD its pretty cool with tunes that you can dance around and ballads to slow it down.
As my friend and I were looking around the shops, there was this game I wanted for my Nintendo DS Lite. I was looking at it and pondering or not to buy it. I just said I will get it with my next pay cheque so I put the game back on the shelf where it belong =P
So my friend ended up buying the Transformers game and turned out he bought the game for me as I was a bit shocked and got annoyed that he bought it for me. Talk about expecting the unexpected.
Not that I am not grateful but not use to guys buying me stuff.... You could say this is my dilemma for the week. I will eventually get over it =)
Today was my first day in starting my new job after months of looking for a new job. Towards the end of my old job I felt management was not that supportive and I dreaded each morning going to work. Supervising someone who didn't listen to your instructions and had a bad attitude, well you could say I had enough. I didn't want to feel that way anymore.
Just comparing the two companies and roles, they are completely different. The culture of the company is far more relaxed, everyone is really friendly and it is less structured. The first day is, so far so good =) Just keeping an open mind and trying not to make too much comparisons as it is still early days.
Really happy where my office is as it overlooks the Darling Harbour, I have a really cool workstation (I get to use a mac at work =), get free coffee and toast in the morning and there is a free bar on Thursday and Fridays. What more could you ask?
Looking forward to what lies ahead for this new role, new company and colleagues =)
I was chatting with my closest girl friend as as all girls we share what's new and our worries. I showed my friend a picture of a guy I liked. The interesting thing she said was this particular guy I liked is not the type of guy you would see on the street and I needed to have realistic expectations. I think she had a good point. I tend to be attracted to guys who are "pretty boys." I think its time for me to be realistic! There is no such thing as the perfect guy out there. We wish!
This got me thinking, my Connect Group Leader did raise that we should pray for God to lead us to our other half. Also my friend said I should write a list in the characteristics of my future partner as this is will keep me on track and not be swayed by emotions and end up being hurt. His way seemed a bit extreme to me personally but I thought I would just compile a very short list.
My better half should be:
1. Be a servant of God and to have a servant heart.
2. To work together in reaching our goals and dreams.
3. To trust each other in both good and bad times.
4. To support and encourage one another in achieving our dreams.
5. And of course enjoy each other company...
This is hard making up a list. I mean the more we write down the points we are after.... Is there a person that exists with "our ideals." For me, I don't believe it. No matter how hard we stick to "our list" we end up with someone different to our list. Maybe the key is to finding our ideal partner is all about investing our time in getting to know the person and see how compatible we are with that person. I believe love needs nurture, invested time and trust to turn into L-O-V-E.
Now I am sounding very sentimental now. This is turning into a deep and meaningful moments. I better leave it for now before I get carried away.
Well late last week, I gave my resignation notice to my current workplace as I was offered a job at George & Patterson as I have been really stressed out at my current job. I prayed to God whether I made the right choice in moving to Sydney and even thought of going back to Brisbane. As always God answered my prayers and directed my path. It really does come down to having faith and trusting in Him and He will deliver according to His will if we just believe.
I just received a message from one of my good uni friend and she will be visiting this weekend. This weekend will be full on, one, my mum's friend is coming too so I will meet up with her and my friend, second, I am going to the Hillsong Conference Friday night so I will probably come home late really looking forward to the conference.
I am looking forward to this weekend =) just have to made through another week hehehe.
