House hunting again!!

Had a tiring day today, although only worked for 9.5 hours straight.. Hope it'll be ok when i go back to full time workforce.

Quite excited about moving, and a lot to plan.. renting our house out and finding a new place at the same time is so stressful and exciting at the same time!

The benefit of moving again? We get to start over ALL OVER AGAIN! Time to throw old clothes and junks away... for good this time. Last time i dragged them to my new home and they ended up in storage for over a year.. untouched.
This time, I am going to have a serious clear out!

Time to put things into boxes and containers again!

Fingers cross we can rent our place out smoothly..

I give ourselves 2 months to settle in, by end of April, we would be enjoying the new home in the new town, and go back to stressfree steady lifestyle...in the mean time, it is house hunting and tenant hunting time!

Found a job!

Job hunting went more smoothly than i expected, I found a full time job!
I will be moving up to Whangarei where Frank has been travelling to work. And hopefully this time I can finally live with Frank in the same town permanently.

So it is house hunting all over again, only that we are renting this time, not going to buy another house yet.
I am getting excited about the big move, this will be my biggest move. New job, new town, new life.. oh how much my life has changed in the past 2 years...

I hope we can finally settle down, at least for the next couple of years..

So many good things have been happening to me lately, I was feeling lucky so I bought lotto last week... but I did not win any money, only a bonus ticket for this week, haha silly me.

Back from Holiday - New Year resolution

It's nice to finally be back home from our honeymoon. Being away for 6 weeks is a loong time, we were both missing New Zealand a lot, afterall we both agreed it's the best place to live, after living in Malaysia, Hong Kong, Macau, England, Italy and France for the past 6 weeks.

I have been doing lots of tidying and cleaning, we have been living at our home for just over a year and already collected so much junk, time to do a clean out.

Frank got me a new phone. My new gadget is now this baby

So anyway now that I'm back to reality, been trying to look for a full time job. In the mean time I have been locuming here and there at random places. It's good experience working in different environments but I miss working in a set environment and having a routine going, I like stability.

Who knows what life will bring and where we will end up staying, but for now, i enjoy doing my casual work and being a housewife :)

I have a new item to add to my new year resolution. ''Taking more risks''. I have been trying different unfamiliar paths when driving to places or walking Pinky. And when I am stuck in different situations, instead of always choosing the safest option and the option that I am familiar with, i want to be able to step out of my comfort zone and adventure new things. That's what I want to accomplish this year.

2013

2013 has come to an end. 

This is a very special year to me because many life changing events happened.

In early 2013, me and my husband, then fiance moved into our first home (officially got the key on our anniversary 19/12/12).  This marks a big step in our relationship, sharing household and also a mortgage :P

In March 2013, I also got married. One would think we had so much time to plan for the wedding (we were engaged for 1 year and 8 months), but truthfully we only started planning 6 months before the wedding day, and to my surprise, it wasn't too bad after all. The wedding day was marvelous, things couldn't have gone better and till this day (after 9 months of marriage) sometimes i still feel surprise that we are married already, and the wedding was long gone.

In the same year, I also graduated. (well i graduated the previous year but my official graduation ceremony was in May 2013). This means more celebrations!!

In the same year, I also stepped into the tough life of internship, working 49 hours a week and studying at the same time for the entire year, i endure lots of hardship and shed lots of tears. But hard work pays off in the end, because at this very same year, I achieved a competent result in my final assessment, and ended the year with a successful pharmacist registration and a pharmacist title!

I don't remember what my new year resolution was for this year, if i even had one. I believe it was somewhere along the line of passing my registration and have a good year of working and married life. Well, looks like i certainly did it.

It is so crazy to think how much my life has changed in one year. I started the year as a student, who graduated, and then bought a house, got married and passed her registration! Crazy i know..and i can't believe it is all over now.

For next year, i am making it easy for myself. The one and only new year resolution is to find a proper full time job that i am happy working with.

Thank you for an amazing year 2013, i hope to continue this exciting journey and expect more good things to come in following years! 

I know 2014 is going to be great if not better because we are starting this new year in Hong Kong and spending January in UK and Europe for our belated honeymoon! The most romantic cities in the world, here we come! Venice Rome Florence and Paris!!!

Excitement

3 days to our trip!
I have been enjoying my time off work, tidying up the house and preparing for our trip.
Can't wait to see everyone in Malaysia again.

This is a much needed trip with the hubby after such a big year for us..
Malaysia - Hong Kong - UK - Europe
Here we come!

First day as a pharmacist!

My very first day as a fully registered pharmacist! :)))

A fresh start to a new chapter of my life!

Spent my night finally sorting old letters and cards... as much as i loved to hold on to those primary school christmas cards.. my ''junk box'' is getting bigger and bigger each year..  it is time to move on from the past and throw them out. I guess memories will just have to retain them itself.  *Although i did keep a few special ones :)*

FINALLY...

I have made it, finally!
