Mixed emotions because..
Many exciting events are coming up:
Last few weeks of uni
Frank moving back to auckland
Me moving out of home or good
Us getting our own place
Me starting a new chapter or my life (work and marriage)
Graduation trip!
Also sad that i will be:
Leaving home for good
Leaving uni life, going to miss my friends, not the study part of uni life
Spend less time with friends once we all start work
Stepping into the working world, no more uni break, no more long summer holiday, no more sleeping in, same routine everyday
Final exams coming really soon!

Today is the final day of my final break ever.
It is also the best one.
Final half of semester here I come!

Same questions again and again
I find it amusing that even after working the same shift for the past 6 months, my mum still asks every Sunday what time i start and finish work. When she sees me home after work (finish work at 3pm every single time), she will ask me why i am home early. When in fact our pharmacy closes at 3pm, there will never be OT on a Sunday.
It is either her memory is deteriorating, or she doesn't really listen when I tell her.

Birthday surprise!
So, I have been busy this weekend.
Since it's uni break, my friends wanted to hang out and do something fun together, we decided to go to cornwall park and have bbq. It wasn't for my birthday and i have specifically told them i didn't want the focus to be on me, they were really good about it except they threw me a little surprise anyway, by sneakily teaming up with Frank and surprised me.
Frank was supposed to come up to Auckland in the afternoon and arrive at night as usual, we planned to have dinner together to celebrate my birthday, however he'd taken a day off completely on Friday, and started driving up since 5 am.. I was supposed to meet up the the rest in the park at about 10 am.
I arrived a little earlier than the others so I waited for the others in my car with Julie. Frank saw my car and pulled up in 2 car parks away from me, he called me and we were talking about dinner plans at night and checking what time he was arriving..
At one point while waiting, the car behind me was getting out, he reversed and apparently almost hit Frank's car, so Frank honked him. I actually looked back to see what was going on, I did see there was a car behind me, but i didn't realise that it was Frank's car. He quickly bobbed down when i turned around so i didn't see anyone in the car, close call!
Then i saw my other friends arrived so i told him i got to go and hung up. As I was getting out of the car, I turned back and saw him getting out of his car with a big cheeky smile. I was surprised and started screaming. That made my day obviously. The rest of the BBQ outing was great fun, the day was nice and sunny and the company were great.
The next day, Frank and I together with 2 of my best friends Shiu and Angel went on a day trip to coromandel, we took a ferry there and then rented a car, travelled to the lost spring for spa, it was a relaxing trip and coromandel was beautiful!
That was how i spent my birthday weekend, Frank's back to New Plymouth now but it wouldn't be long until he move back up for good! Can't wait!!
Frank gave me an aquarium for my birthday, I have been thinking of buying one for a while now, and finally Grumpy now has a proper home, instead of living in a big jar.. He has a complete set of home with filter, stones and fake plants. The aquarium is slightly bigger than his old jar so i plan to get a couple more small fishes to keep fill up the aquarium~! :)
A girl can never have too many flowers
Dinner at Narita
Saw this funny dish outside a restaurant
:)))
My prezzies
Frank fixing the aquarium for me
Say bye bye to old boring jar (He has been living in this for a year!)
Welcome to your new home~!

Big secret revealed!
I completely forgot about continuing the previous post about what the actual good news was.
Since it has all confirmed now....... let's reveal the awesome news...
FRANK IS MOVING BACK TO AUCKLAND!!!!!
:DDD
The story goes like this, since I am doing my internship up in Auckland instead of New Plymouth, Frank decided to look for a job to move back up, because we did not want to spend our first year of marriage apart. Despite his current job with good pay, good prospect, promising future, he was prepared to resign and take whatever job he can find up in Auckland, even with a pay cut, just to be up here with me.
Luck was on our side, the very first interview he went for, he got the job offer, with similiar pay with what he is currently getting, and it is up here in Auckland!!!
I guess he must be really good at what he is doing, or he has good karma, whatever it is, the contract is signed and he is moving back up in 2 months time!
Time for house hunting finally!! And all our plans of getting married, getting a house, can go ahead as planned. I think everything happened for a reason, the reason I did not get the internship in NP is so that I can get my current job in Auckland, with awesome colleagues and best pay out of all the offers i get, yet do not need to be apart from Frank, plus we get to be close by to our parents!
So yeah, I was real stress before because i did not want to be apart from Frank anymore, and i did not want him to give up such a good job to come up to Auckland, I guess things happened for a good reason and everything worked out welll in the end!

Happy 25 Birthday to me.
Turning 25 in 3 minutes.
Three years ago, I was celebrating Frank's 25th. I remember the jokes made during his birthday about hitting the mid twenties, before I realise, it is my turn to celebrate the big 25.
Life in the last 25 years has been a journey, I am pleased to say that today as i look back, I feel a deep contentment that I went through everything I did, because without yesterday, there will not be today.
So, what have I achieved after 25 years?
I have found the love of my life and am ready to walk down the aisle with the person I want to grow old with,
I am working in a job that I enjoy, making good use of my skills and knowledge i spent my early twenties training for,
I work in a good environment and good pay, with cool people my age who are supportive and fun to work with,
I live in a country which is safe and peaceful, with lots of opportunities for my profession and I do not need to worry about politics or corruption,
I have my family close by,
I have friends that i can call true friends, friends who love me and whom i love, friends with a genuine heart with no motive other than being there for me, friends that do not judge when i am myself,
I have a life that i look forward to, spending time with good friends and love ones, doing things i love doing, truthfully having a good time,
I have a dog who is super cute that i am so proud of, besides being well trained and absolutely adorable, she is also my best friend and a part of my life, she never stops making me smile everyday,
I have a cat, he does nothing really besides eating but i adore him,
I have a pet fish whom i saved from bring abandoned to die, and I am proud to say that until today, after almost one year from the day i adopted him, he is still alive and well,
I guess this is the end of list since i started writing about my pets...
On a side note, i have noticed how much i have grown in the past few years. I was the girl who came to New Zealand hoping to leave the country as soon as possible, she disliked uni so much it was a chore to get through each year, she was so depressed about life she did not make an effort to live it fully. And today, this girl has become someone who loves what she does, is using her knowledge she gained at uni fruitfully, she loves going to uni, learning new things and meeting her friends, she now loves the country she lives and has a future planned ahead, living life the best as she can while enjoying every moment of it.

Back~!
I am back after many months of absence!
I did not abandon my blog, many times i signed in and opened a new page up to type, but then i stopped. I had many plans ahead, but everything couldn't proceed because of uncertainties. No, I am not talking about the wedding, we are getting married for sure!
So I have been waiting and waiting, finally, the pathway is unblocked and the plan can fall into place!
I will not reveal what it is until it is allconfirmed.
A very good news delivered to me today indeed, I can't wait to see what's in the future! Oh Ball this Saturday by the way, another exciting event :)
Till then.
