the saying 'you always want what you can't have' is so true.

while i was on holidays, i was wanting to go back to work. but now that work starts tomorrow, i wish i was still on holidays! >.< i think its because i had such a fantastic last few days with friends that i don't want it to end. but all good things come to an end sooner or later. tho 'one door closes, another one opens' right? :)

i can't believe i'm going back to work when the weather temperature is 40 degrees! and not just for one day... but four!!! that's crazy melbourne weather for you! make sure you drink lots of water!

so as i sit here at 2:30 in the morning... i tell myself that i should be sleeping after having such a big night last nite. but i slept the whole day and i think my body clock is just out of whack. while i still feel the symptoms (eg. sore legs, headache, eyes hurting) of having too much fun and not enough sleep two nights in a row, i decided to blog about a few things on my mind before i retire for the night. they will be short dot points that i may or may not come back to elaborate on. at least when i read back on this day, i can jog my memory of these following topics/issues:

- manicures are really good to have with a friend and when you want to relax
- going out till 5am is lots of fun but be prepared for what you have to endure after
- spending time with the right company can always make a dull moment bright (and definitely put a smile on your face)
- ask yourself 'are you a selfish person?' and really think about it. think about the things you do that you may think are helping other people than yourself... but then think about who gains more.
- people are different. that's what makes everyone unique. people fulfill their lives in very different ways. who's to say which way is right or wrong? or which way is better? don't let others judge you because you have different morals/values/beliefs. always trust in yourself and know that you have a choice. choose the one that's best for you.

ok, so those two last points may sound 'deep'. reason is that i just came back from chatting with a couple of friends who really made me think about the decisions i make in life and how that affects not only myself but others around me. i like engaging in such reflective and meaningful conversations ... your brain needs stimlus like that once in a while.

Chinese New Year is just round the corner. It's on Australia Day to be exact. The first year we get a day off on Chinese New Year! :) It is the year of the Ox (which is me) so I decided to look up the 'Ox personality'. Surprisingly it sounds a lot like me! :)

Ox Personality

The Ox is the sign of prosperity through fortitude and hard work. As one might guess, such people are dependable, calm and modest. Like his animal namesake, the Ox is unswervingly patient, tireless in his work, and capable of enduring any amount of hardship without complaint.

The ox person needs peace and quiet to work through his/her ideas, and when he/she has set his/her mind on something it is hard for him/her to be convinced otherwise. The ox person has a very logical mind and is extremely systematic in whatever he/she does, in spite of a total lack of imagination. He/she can be very stubborn, and difficult to dissuade once he/she decides on something. These people speak little, but are intelligent, and when necessary, they are both articulate and eloquent.

The ox person is not extravagant, and the thought of living off credit cards or being in debt makes him/her nervous. The possibility of taking a serious risk could cause the ox person many sleepless nights. These people are truthful and sincere, and the idea of wheeling and dealing in a competitive world is distasteful to them. It would be right to mention that people born in the ox years are rarely driven by the prospect of financial gain. These people are always welcome because of their honesty and patience. They have many friends, who appreciate the fact that the ox people are rather introverted and wary of new trends, although every now and then they can be encouraged to try something new. It is important to remember that the ox people are sociable and relaxed when they feel secure, but occasionally a dark cloud looms over such person and he/she takes on the worries of the world and tries to find solutions.

dear dan,

no i have not had my manicure yet. im going to the beach again tomorrow... well technically today :) in about 9 hours. so i figured i would wait till next week to get them done.

you know how you suggested volunteering at a soup kitchen? well i found something even better! while searching for information, not only did i find that there isnt much info on soup kitchens (i could hardly find anything!) i stumbled across a link for volunteering as a teacher overseas! :D how cool is that? way cool, yeah? :) so im thinking of going mid year for two weeks... to... FIJI! :) the only problem is money. it cost about $3000 to go. it includes pretty much everything... except airfares.

will you sponsor me for my 'lee-ean gives back to the world' project?

from lee-ean.

I've decided to be spontaneous... well as spontaneous as i can be... which is not very at all.

i have decided to make a list of things to do before school starts. but not just any list, a list of things that i would not normally do. i've only come up with one thing so far, but hey, its a start right?!

First thing on the list.... a manicure! :)

i've never being one to pamper myself. doing my nails, getting waxed, colouring/styling my hair, buying impressive branded clothing, walking in fancy shoes, drowning in elegant accessories. i admit, i'm not the most classy or well groomed person you'll ever meet but at least i feel comfortable in my own skin.

but hey, i guess it doesnt hurt to pamper yourself once in a while right?

a new hairstle is also trying to make its way on the list... but im not too sure. it wouldn't be just any haircut... it would be a big change. but i havent convinced myself yet. maybe a couple of weeks down the track.

any other ideas? lemme know... its time to 'live life to the fullest!'
