The weather is perfect for sleeping in. At this point I'm almost wondering if I'm just sitting around, wasting my youth away. Maybe I should do something life-changing, like start a campaign for world peace.
Who am I kidding.
The only peace I would like for now is peace in my world, so I can have a dreamless, rested sleep.
The latest addition to my ever-growing family:
His name is Mi(4) Feng(1) aka honeybee. He's adorable and came at an exhorbitant price. I nearly keeled over in shock. Juin is obsessed with buying me soft toys for some strange reason. I told him they were depreciating assets and we spent a good 5 mins arguing whether soft toys were assets or not. I love him so much :)
Walked past the local florist on my way home and caught sight of something bright yellow on the corner of my left eye. Literally walked backwards and stopped. Staring at me from inside was a bucket of the most beautiful sunflowers. I couldn't resist grabbing a bunch. They are gorgeous:
Went to the Melbourne Flower Festival at the insistence of my friends:
Oh what I would give to lie on that and read my book.
Just finished my new book by Sophie Kinsella. Somehow reading her books make me happy.
It's titled 'The Undomestic Godess' and it's about a young lawyer (Cambridge grad) and was working at a top tier firm in London. As it happens, on the day she was supposed to be made partner of her firm (something she killed herself to become), she got fired as a result of making one mistake which cost the firm $50 million pounds. Somehow or other, she landed up working as a housekeeper for a rich family, without her even knowing how to cook or clean or do the laundry (since she was so busy at work all day she never ever learnt how to be domestic). In the end she learnt to do all these things only to realise later that the firm which fired her wanted her back because the $50 million pound mistake was actually a set-up against her by one of the other partners. Of course she would never go back after finding true love and having much-needed time to herself instead of being a slave to her job and her blackberry.
I like this book because it's not only close to heart, it also taught me some lessons about life. For example, we try so hard to fill the voids in our life. For what? If we have everything but no job, we want a job so badly, thinking that if we get one, we'd be happy. But that's not true is it? If we have everything but no boyfriend/girlfriend, we want one so badly, thinking that if we do have one then our life is complete. But that's not true either is it? It's like shopping. You want one dress, you buy the dress. The next day you want a bag, you buy a bag. Then you want makeup etc. and the list just goes on and on because you're never truly satisfied with what you have.
In short, just appreciate what you do have than obsessing about the one or two things in life that you don't have!!!
~till next time folks!! :) Have a great Easter weekend!!!
