life update.. (after my *ahem* 20th birthday)..
Friday, January 11th, 2008well.. firstly thanks for reading my blog update.. for someone who is willing to spend some time of their life to read about me.. gotta be someone who cares.. and i truly appreciate that.. or perhaps you just have nothing to do and stumble across this.. oh well.. thanks anyway~~
just turned a quarter of a century old a couple of days ago.. feel a little old now.. hitting the mid-twenties.. instead of my supposedly late teens.. some of my dreams and goals.. should be nearer.. but they still feel pretty far away at this point of time..
now i am more of a facebook fan than friendster fan.. but i will continue to manage my accounts in both of this site and bebo as well.. since my new zealand friends are mostly beboers.. but if i know you in real life.. you know i wanna be keeping in touch with you..
1 of my goals is to be financially free aka retiring at age 35.. that’s just 10 years away.. omg!! i can’t believe i am that near to the BIGGER 3!! working is awesome.. but depending my living on a paycheck is a big NO NO!! so yes.. that’s my long term plan and i am still working towards that goal~~
not interested in climbing the corporate ladder.. just wanna be my happy employee and learn heaps of things in life through working.. right now i am working in a golf course and ducking golf balls for 8hours a day 5days a week.. and it’s exciting!!
love working at the golf course and the people from all over the world.. there’s more to job in golf course than picking golf balls and mowing lawns.. it’s truly an eye opener!! and not to mention my awesome colleagues!! they are such a fantastic bunch of multi-nationality people!!
well.. i am indulging myself in the shopping places in auckland coz there’s no shops in palmy!! ok.. not literally.. but you know.. lack of variety etc.. with so many clothes from my fave brands rip curl and roxy.. all my money is flying into my new clothes!! heehee..
borrowed my friend’s car for summer.. 1995 toyota trueno.. supposed to be a cool-as car.. but well.. i am an amateur driver.. got a teeny restricted license in nz.. licence-less in sg.. got into countless little accidents.. spent heaps of money at the mechanic until he recognise me and THE car.. *oops*
missing my wonderful girlfriends in singapore.. totally.. and obviously those at other parts of the world.. u know who u r if u r reading this.. coz there’s too many to name and i dun wanna miss any1 out.. i miss our good old days together.. shopping.. coffee-ing.. movie-ing.. chatting.. aaahhhh!!
big plan for dieting this year.. need to lose some flabs especially since i am almost 60 horrendous kilograms.. metabolism is slower.. not intending to get rid of chocolates and nutella.. how am i supposed to live without chocolates in my life?? yes.. a goal this year is to lose.. say 10kg?
life in nz is truly awesome.. it’s almost like home now.. not very kiwinized but more or less affected by the culture here.. and i have learnt to see singapore culture from an outsider’s point of view.. it’s truly amazing meeting people from all over the world here.. experience of a lifetime!!
an important thing i wanna do when i come home is to do more traveling!! will spend the next few years going to all the asian countries.. including india!! never planned to initially but now that i met some awesome people from india in nz.. and of coz china.. japan.. korea.. malaysia.. taiwan.. etc..
and when i truly retired aka don’t depend on employer’s paycheck.. i definitely visit america.. canada.. europe.. africa and middle east.. the people i met in nz from all parts of the world makes me want to go and visit their home country at least once in my lifetime..
big dreams.. big goals.. big plans.. all need money somehow.. and hence the financial freedom plan!! gotta brush up my investment and business skills.. totally miss playing cashflow game with the knowledgeable group whom i learnt so much from for so many years!! if u read this.. u know who u r..=)
in case you may think i have matured.. unfortunately no~~ i am still extremely hyper and optimistic.. occasionally insane and dreamy.. sometimes bouncy and stony (’stoning’ in sg term).. rarely rational and brainy.. and once in a blue moon.. i am actually normal and average.. u know me..=)
as with all new year and birthday.. time to reflect on my past.. and plan for the future.. meanwhile enjoying the present since my life has always been great!! really excited on what’s in 2008 and beyond for me.. oh.. i have actually typed some updates right..
well.. guess i will update again when the mood comes.. and if you ARE retiring young and retiring rich.. with a proper plan and action steps.. do drop me a message so i know there’s someone out there who have the same frequency as me.. then again.. i am weird.. so.. you know..
